Maintenance
8.1 General description
Maintenance must be done by authorized centres or by qualified personnel.
The maintenance allows to:
•
maintain the unit efficiency
•
increase the life span of the equipment
•
assemble information and data to understand the state of the unit efficiency and avoid possible damages
Before checking, please verify the following:
•
the electrical power supply line should be isolated at the beginning
•
the unit isolator is open, locked and equipped with the suitable warning
•
make sure no tension is present
8.2 Inspections frequency
Perform an inspection every 6 months minimum.
The frequency, however, depends on the use.
In the event of frequent use it is recommended to plan inspections at shorter intervals:
•
frequent use (continuous or very intermittent use, near the operating limits, etc)
•
critical use (service necessary)
8.3 Unit booklet
It's advisable to create a unit booklet to take notes of the unit interventions.
In this way it will be easier to adequately note the various interventions and aid any troubleshooting.
Report on the booklet:
•
date
•
type of intervention effected
•
intervention description
•
carried out measures etc.
8.4 Voltages
After turning off the power, wait at least 5 minutes before accessing to the electrical panel or any other electrical component.
Before accessing check with a multimeter that there are no residual stresses.
8.5 Standby mode
If a long period of inactivity is foreseen:
•
turn off the power
•
avoid the risk of frost (empty the system or add glycol)
Turn off the power to avoid electrical risks or damages by lightning strikes.
With lower temperatures keep heaters turned on in of the electrical panel (option).
It's recommended that the re-start after the stopping period is performed by a qualified technician, especially after seasonal stops or seasonal
switching.
When restarting, refer to what is indicated in the "start-up" section.
Schedule technical assistance in advance to avoid hitches and to guarantee that the system can be used when required.
