TRUCLIMATE 500 INSTALLATION GUIDE
General Installation Information
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable
for all refrigerant systems. Electronic leak detectors may be
used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of FLAMMABLE
REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may
need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a
refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential
source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak
detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL. of
the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed,
and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is con-
firmed. Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most
refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall
be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and
corrode the copper pipe-work. NOTE Examples of leak detection
fluids are bubble method, fluorescent method agents If a leak is
suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a
leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the
refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by
means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the
leak. Removal of refrigerant shall follow the procedure outlined in
this manual.
Installation Site
Maximum altitude for this equipment shall not exceed
2000 m. (6561 ft.) For installation only in locations not accessible
to the general public.
Ventilated Area: ensure that the area is in the open or that it
is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system of
conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation should continue
during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation
should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably
expel it. Keep ventilation area clear of obstructions!
WARNING
Do NOT use potential sources of ignition in searching for or de-
tection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector
using a naked flame) shall not be used.
WARNING
For appliances using A2L refrigerants connected via an air duct
system to one or more rooms, only auxiliary devices approved
by the appliance manufacturer or declared suitable with the
refrigerant shall be installed in connecting ductwork. The
manufacturer shall list in the instructions all approved auxiliary
devices by manufacturer and model number for use with the
specific appliance, if those devices have a potential to become an
ignition source.
WARNING
Installation Space Requirements
NOTE: Equipment with refrigerant charge less than 64 oz does
not require have a minimum floor area requirement and does not
require a refrigerant leak detection sensor.
The sensor might be added as a feature.
Equipment containing R-454B refrigerant shall be installed,
operated, and stored in a room with floor area larger than the
area defined in the “Minimum Floor Area” chart based on the
total refrigerant charge in the system. This requirement applies
to indoor equipment with or without a factory refrigerant leakage
sensor.
WARNING
This equipment requires connections to a water supply. See
the “Water Quality Guidelines” section of this manual for more
information on the quality of water required for this operation.
If a potable water source is used for this equipment’s water
supply, the source water supply shall be protected against back
siphonage by the equipment.
CAUTION
This equipment comes with a factory installed Refrigerant Detection
Device which is capable of determining it’s specified end-of-life and
replacement instructions. Refrigerant sensors for refrigerant detection
systems shall only be replaced with sensors specified by the appliance
manufacture.
WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant
gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately.
POSSIBLE RISKS: Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed
room can lead to oxygen deficiency
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the
environment. Follow handling instructions carefully in compliance with
national regulations.
