2.6 Precautions during maintenance
operations
Maintenance operations can be carried out by au-

nance in progress” on the external disconnecting
switch
h
make sure that on-off remote controls are inhibited
h
wear suitable personal protective equipment (hel-
met, safety gloves, goggles and shoes etc.)
To carry out any measurements or checks which re-
quire the activation of the machine:
h
work with the electrical board open only for the
necessary time
h
close the electrical board as soon as the measure-
ment or check has been completed
h
for outdoor units, do not carry out any operations
in the presence of dangerous climatic conditions
(rain, snow, mist etc.)
The following precautions must be always adopted:
h
do not scatter the fluids of the refrigeration circuit
in the surrounding environment
h
when replacing an eprom or electronic cards, use
always suitable devices (extractor, antistatic
bracelet, etc.)
h
o replace a compressor, the evaporator, the con-
densing coils or any other weighty element, make
sure that the lifting equipment is consistent with the
weight to be lifted
h
in air units with independent compressor compart-
ment, do not access the fan compartment unless
you have disconnected the machine by the discon-
necting switch on the board and you have placed
a warning sign “do not turn on - maintenance in
progress”
h
contact Itelco-Clima for any modifications to the re-
frigeration, hydraulic or wiring diagram of the
unit, as well as to its control logics
h
contact Itelco-Clima if it is necessary to perform
very difficult disassembly and assembly operations
h
use only original spare parts purchased directly
from Itelco-Clima or the official retailers of the com-
