Determination of Right-hand / Left-hand references
General warnings
- For the safety of people and equipment, the properties and suitability of the electrical grid circuit must be examined, and the user manual, standards, and regulations must be obeyed.
- For electrical connections to be made there should be no power in the main supply line and the circuit switch of the unit should be in the off position.
- Before working on the water system, it must be ensured that there is no hot water in the hot water line and that the valves are shut off.
- You must wear protective gloves to avoid being injured by sharp edges during the handling and unit preparation stage. Protective headgear and protective shoes must be worn while installing ceiling-type units. Care should be taken to avoid injuries that may arise from falling parts and sharp edges.
- On the whole, suitable checks and measurements should be made and rules of engineering should be obeyed to prevent accidents that may occur during maintenance and assembly.
Qualifications required of assembly and maintenance persons:
- Electrical connections must be made by a licensed electrician.
- Water connections must be made by an experienced plumber.
- Unit maintenance must be carried out by a qualified and well-informed maintenance technician.
- Repairs should not be performed on the HFC Fan Coil. This manual does not discuss repairs.
Mandatory safety rules during installation
The fan coil must not be installed:
- Outdoor
- In an explosive or corrosive environment
- In a too-humid environment
- In a very dusty environment
A bipolar safety switch must be installed, to disconnect the appliance from the electric power supply; the switch must:
- Be properly sized
- Be easily accessible and close to the appliance
- Have a minimum 3 mm distance between its contacts.
The appliance must be properly connected to an electric earth. Do not place flammable/dusty goods close to the appliance. Do not remove the labels from the inside of the appliance.
Mandatory safety rules during use, maintenance & repair
It is dangerous:
- To touch the fan coil with wet parts of the body and bare feet;
- To modify or tamper with the settings of the safety devices;
- To spray water or flammable liquids/gas onto the fan coil;
- To introduce foreign objects of the hands through the air intake and discharge grills;
- To introduce foreign objects or the hands into the fans.
- Do not bend, pull, and detach the electric wires out-coming the fan coil even if it is disconnected from the power supply.
Before any maintenance/repair:
- Disconnect the electrical power source and secure it in the disconnected position;
- Close the water valves;
- Wait until the water is at the same temperature as the room
- Wear safety gloves
- Before any maintenance be sure that:
- The unit is disconnected from the electric power source
- The water valves are closed
- The water temperature is not dangerous (too hot or too cold)
- Children or disabled people must not use the fan coil without assistance.
- Do not remove the labels from the inside of the appliance.
- In case of replacement of components, use only spare parts supplied by the manufacturer.
- If the fan coil is installed in very cold climates, and a long unoperative period is forecasted, the hydraulic circuit must be completely emptied, to avoid the risk of ice inside the tubes; ice will cause big damage.
If a damper for external air is installed, the cold air can cause ice inside the tubes of the coil, and ice will break the tubes. If necessary, some glycol must be mixed with the water of the hydraulic circuit.
The coils are tested up to 3.000 kPa (30 bar); the maximum allowed operating pressure is 2.400 kPa (24 bar); the maximum allowed operating temperature is 120 ºC.
IN CASE THE AIR FILTER HAS TO BE CLEANED OR CHANGED, BE SURE IT IS FITTED AGAIN IN THE APPLIANCE BEFORE RESTARTING THE FAN COIL.
Operating limits and fitting space
Depending on the model and installation, the pipes may be connected from left or right. The following fitting distances of the Main Unit Body should be observed for fan coil units.
Note:
Make sure there are adequate spaces reserved for the nstallation of pipes, valves, wiring connections, etc. Above indicated fitting space is for illustrative reference only, and a bigger fitting space should be reserved if not sure about the installation convenience or accessibility of the connections.
Heat-exchanging coil and appliance.
- The minimum temperature of the cooling water without glycol is 5 ºC.
- The maximum temperature of the heating fluid is 120 ºC.
- Maximum allowed operating pressure: 2.400 kPa (24 bar)
- Electric power supply: minimum voltage 207V – maximum 253V.
IN CASE OF INSTALLATIONS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE CAN DROP BELLOW 0 ºC, IT IS NECESSARY TO ADD ETHYLENE GLYCOL TO THE WATER, ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING TABLE.
Ethylene glycol is used to protect the circuit from freezing and to prevent the tubes to be broken. The following table gives the percentage of glycol to add to obtain a specific freezing temperature. The mix of water and glycol has a specific mass and viscosity which varies depending on the temperature and concentration; consequently, this affects the capacity of the fan coil. Glycol is generally used as an inhibitor of corrosion, so it is necessary to measure its concentration at least once a year.
