Do not immerse the appliance in water (with the exception of cleaners) or mud.
WARNINGS CONCERNING APPLIANCES CONTAINING REFRIGERANT
•
Do not discharge R410A or R407C fluid into the atmosphere. These are fluorinated greenhouse effect gases, covered by the Kyoto Protocol, with
a Global Warming Potential (GWP) = 2088 for R410A (Directive EC 842/2006).
•
According to French decree No. 2015-1790, if the appliance has more than 5teq CO2 of refrigerant gas (refer to manufacturer specifications),
the cooling circuit must be checked for leakage at least once a year. This operation must be carried out by a certified cooling appliance specialist.
The heat pump pool heaters covered in this document have been evaluated, tested, and shown to comply with the applicable requirements of the
following Directives:
-
Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), 2014/68/EU, Module D1;
-
Low Voltage Directive (LVD), 2014/35/EU;
-
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, 2014/30/EU.
The appliances have an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IPX4 or better. Please refer to the marking indicating the IP-rating on your particular product.
Installation and maintenance
The unit may not be installed close to combustible materials, or the air duct inlet of an adjacent building .
With some devices, it is essential to fit protection grids if the unit is installed in an area with uncontrolled access.
During installation, troubleshooting and maintenance, pipes may not be used as steps: the pipe could break under the weight, spilling refrigerant
and possibly causing serious burns.
When servicing the appliance, the composition and state of heat carrying fluid must be checked, as well as the absence of any refrigerant.
During the annual unit sealing test in accordance with applicable legislation, the high and low pressure switches must be checked to ensure that they
are securely fastened to the coolant circuit and that they cut-off the electrical circuit when tripped.
During maintenance work, ensure there are no traces of corrosion or oil around cooling components.
Before beginning work on the cooling circuit, stop the device and wait for a few minutes before fitting the temperature and pressure sensors. Some
elements such as the compressor and piping may reach temperatures in excess of 100°C and high pressures with the consequent risk of severe
scalding.
Troubleshooting
All brazing must be carried out by qualified brazers.
Replacement pipes must always be made of copper in compliance with standard NF EN 12735-1.
Leak detection, pressure test:
-
never use oxygen or dry air as there is a risk of fire or explosion,
-
use dry nitrogen or a mixture of nitrogen and refrigerant indicated on the information plate,
-
the test pressure for both the high and low-pressure circuits must not exceed 42 bar (for R410A) if the appliance is equipped with the pressure
gauge option.
For the high-pressure circuit pipes made of copper with a diameter equal to or greater than 1’’5/8, a certificate as indicated in §2.1 in compliance
with standard NF EN 10204 must be requested from the supplier and must be kept in the installation technical file.
The technical data relating to the safety requirements of the various applicable directives are given on the appliance identification plate. All this
information must be recorded in the appliance installation manual, which must be kept in the installation technical file: model, code, serial number,
maximum and minimum OT, OP, year of manufacture, CE marking, manufacturer’s address, coolant and weight, electrical parameters, thermo-
dynamic and acoustic performance.
