MACHINE DESCRIPTION

Blocksystems consist of a condensing unit (coldroom exterior), an evaporating unit (coldroom
interior), and an electronic control panel located inside the condensing unit. The refrigerant follows
the compression refrigerating cycle system.
Blocksystems are equipped with a hot gas defrosting system (MBP = medium temperature and LBP =
low temperature models) or with a ventilation defrosting system (HBP = high temperature models),
controlled by an electronic control panel. Defrosting occurs automatically with a cyclical frequency
that can be controlled by the user; it can also be enabled manually, using the relevant control.

TECHNICAL DATA

The tables at the end of this manual include the main technical data for Blocksystem units.

INSTALLATION

• Installation must only be carried out by qualified technical engineers according to the regulations
in force.
• Use cut-proof protective gloves when moving the Blocksystem.
• The Blocksystem must be installed in places where proper air circulation is guaranteed. In the
event of different installation, we recommend contacting the manufacturer.
• FA range Blocksystems may only be installed on vertical walls.
• When positioning the condensing and evaporating units, always respect the minimum distances
given at the end of the manual.
• Leave enough space around the machine for it to be possible to perform maintenance operations
in safe conditions.
For the correct operation of the Blocksystem, we recommend the following minimum thickness for the
coldroom walls (polyurethane insulation): insulating panel thickness for MBP and HBP (medium
temperature and high temperature) coldrooms: 60 mm; insulating panel thickness for LBP (low
temperature) coldrooms: 100 mm.
6. 1 Installing the plug-in version
• Make a hole of suitable dimensions in the coldroom wall (see Fig. 6-7-8 at the end of the
manual).
• Use a forklift truck (or other suitable hoisting means) to lift the Blocksystem, making use of the
special hooks provided, as illustrated in Fig. 1.
• Place the Blocksystem on the coldroom wall, inserting the evaporator, from the outside, through
the hole made previously.
• Fix the Blocksystem to the coldroom wall using the relevant screws (supplied).
• Seal all around the edge of the insulating plug with silicon (suitable for coldroom use), in order to
prevent any warm air from infiltrating to the inside of the coldroom. Seal the top side before
