CIAT VECTIOS POWER PJ Serie Manuel D'instructions page 5

1 - INTRODUCTION
The VECTIOS range consist of autonomous and
POWER TM
compact air-air units of horizontal design, rooftop type. They
include inside all the components required for providing the
proper air conditioning to the installation.
● IPJ series: Units for reversible heat pump operation.
These units are designed to be installed outdoors, in a free
fi eld-type, well ventilated area. It is user's responsibility to
ensure that the fi nal installation respects all local, national and
international regulations.
The units comply with European Directives:
● Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (MD)
● Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC)
● Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED)
* R-410A: Category 2
* R-454B: Category 3
● RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS)
● Eco-design Directive 2009/125/EC (ECO-DESIGN)
2 - SAFETY ADVICE
2.1 General safety advice
Units are designed to provide a very high level of safety during
installation, start-up, operation and maintenance.
They will provide safe and reliable service when operated within
their application range.
Compliance with the norms and regulations in effect is
mandatory. It is recommended to consult the competent
authorities regarding the applicable regulations for users of units
or components under pressure. The characteristics of these
units or components are included on the plates of characteristics
or in the regulatory documentation provided with the product.
To avoid any risk of accident during installation, commissioning
or maintenance, it is obligatory to take into consideration the
following specifi cations for the units: refrigerated circuits under
pressure, refrigerant presence, electrical voltage presence and
implantation place.
All operations on the unit must be carried out by authorized,
qualifi ed and trained people to do it using appropriate tools.
All persons who have to work with the equipment must wear
personal protective equipment adapted to the intervention on
the unit:
● Safety shoes
● Safety gloves or specifi c hand protection (cut resistant gloves,
chemical gloves, thermic gloves, ...)
● Head protection
● Ears protection
● Eyes or face protection (safety glasses, goggles, facial shed).
● A2L detector (R-454B).
Additional equipment may be required, depending on the risk
analysis that must be done prior to any intervention.
● Energy Labelling Directive 2017/1369/EU (ECO-LABELLING)
● Harmonised Standard: EN 378-2:2012 (Refrigerating systems
and heat pumps - Safety and environmental requirements).
After manufacturing, all units are charged with refrigerant and
are tested at the factory, verifying the correct operation of all
their components within the operating range for which they are
intended.
These units are prepared for the replacement of R-410A
refrigerant by R-454B on site. The necessary elements for
this change are supplied in a kit.
All the instructions for carrying out this retrofit are
explained in this document. The customer must perform a
risk analysis prior to the execution of the retrofi t.
Technicians who install, commission, operate and service the
unit must possess the necessary training and certifi cations,
understand the instructions given in this manual and be familiar
with the specifi c technical characteristics of the installation site.
The unit must be installed in a place that is not accessible
to the public or protected against access by non-authorized
persons.
Do not modify or bypass any of the safety guards or
switched in the system.
Caution: Before intervening in the unit, verify that the
main power to the unit is cut off . An electric shock can
cause personal damage. The main disconnect switch
is located in the unit's electrical cabinet.
Risk of falling: No part of the unit must be used as a
walk-way, rack or support. Use a platform, or staging
to work at higher levels.
Periodically check and repair or if necessary replace
any component or piping that shows signs of damage.
The refrigerant lines can break under the weight and
release refrigerant, causing personal injury.
The compressor and line surfaces can reach
temperatures above 100ºC causing burns to the body.
In the same fashion, under certain conditions these
surfaces can reach very cold temperatures that can
cause freezing risks.
No combustible matter should be placed within 6.5
metres of the unit.
Risk of explosion: Never exceed the specifi ed maximum
operating pressures.
Verify the allowable maximum high-side and low-side
test pressures by checking the instructions in this
manual and the pressures given on the unit name plate.
