2.2
Intended use
SET open-air swimming pool heat pumps are designed and constructed for the heating
and/or cooling of private and public swimming pools. They are to be used exclusively for this
purpose. Unauthorised conversions and modifications to the device must not be undertaken
for safety reasons. This would lead to the warranty becoming void and to the termination of
conformity.
Important: The operating and installation conditions specified in these operating instructions
must be adhered to.
No foreign parts may be used on the device, as compliance with the required safety and
operability may not be guaranteed.
The user must adhere to the specified operating parameters of these instructions. The open-
air swimming pool heat pump may only be used as stipulated. Any further use beyond this is
not regarded as the intended use. The user/operator, and not the manufacturer, shall be
liable for any resulting damage or injury.
2.3
Action in an emergency
No safety equipment may be dismantled or taken out of operation. In order to avoid damage,
the open-air swimming pool heat pump must always be operated in perfect technical
condition.
Repair and maintenance work must only be carried out with the power supply switched off
and only by qualified personnel.
2.4
Duties of the user
In accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 16th April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases, repealing
Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006, and fully in force since 4th January 2015, refrigeration plants
must be checked on a regular basis by authorised specialist companies, and an operations
manual (air conditioning and heat pumps) must be kept, with a 5-year retention requirement.
The requirements are dependent on the CO
2
equivalent of the filling capacity of each
refrigeration plant:
5 to 50t of CO
2
equivalent: annual check (every 24 months with leakage monitoring);
50 to 500t of CO
2
equivalent: biannual inspection (annually with leakage monitoring);
over 500t of CO
2
equivalent: quarterly inspection (biannually with leakage monitoring).
The refrigerant capacity of the device can be found on the rating plate of the device. 5t of
CO
2
equivalent correspond to a refrigerant capacity of 2.8kg (R 407C) or 2.4kg (R410A).
The operator is responsible for complying with this requirement!
