3 – Installation
Installation, maintenance and commissioning 
must be carried out by qualied specialists only!
All connections, i.e. solderings and are joints, 
are to be made professionally.
Protect the surroundings against admittance of 
unauthorised persons. Pay attention to sucient 
ventilation.
Remove transport safety devices, if any.
Mount the condensing unit horizontally. Use 
the correct tube diameters.
Prevent any vibrations. Avoid smoking and 
open re.
Refrigerant is to be removed and disposed of 
professionally.
Assembly of the condensing units
Prepare the tube connections from the 
evaporator.
It is recommended to use a drier with 3Å 
molecular sieves, e.g. Danfoss type DML.
Use only dry components and avoid moisture 
entering the system.
The system components must not contain any 
chlorine, mineral oil, or other oily substances.
Maximum test pressure must not exceed 32 bar.
4 – Refrigerant charging
Refrigerant charging (N0, N1, N2, T0, T1, T2, 
A00, A01 and A04)
Fig. 2. The process descriptions below are based 
on the equipment shown.
 1.  Suction stop valve
 2.  Discharge stop valve
 3.  Connection to suction side
 4.  Shut-o valve to vacuum pump
 5.  Shut-o valve to charging cylinder
 6.  Connection to discharge side
 7.  Shut-o valve to discharge side
 8.  Shut-o valve to suction side
 9.  Connection to vacuum pump
 10. Connection to charging cylinder
When a vacuum of  0.5 mbar or lower has been 
reached, shut o the connection to the vacuum 
pump by closing all manifold valves.
Repeat the evacuating process once or twice if 
necessary and then close all manifold valves. 
Close the service connector of the suction stop 
valve (1) by turning the spindle „anticlockwise“ 
to the rear stop.
Refrigerant charging must take place from 
equipment not contaminated with refrigerants 
containing chlorine.
For units with stop valves the rule is that 
refrigerant should always be charged in liquid 
form through the discharge stop valve of the 
unit in order to avoid liquid hammer when the 
unit is started. If this rule cannot be observed 
the compressor is not to be started until the 
pressure and the temperature of the 
refrigerating  system have been equalized.
Open valves (5) and (7) of the valve manifold 
while keeping the other valves closed.
When all liquid has been transferred to the 
discharge side of the unit close the service 
connector of the  discharge valve (2) by turning 
the spindle „anticlockwise“ to the rear stop. 
Remove all hose connections.
Fit the union nuts with blind caps on pressure 
gauge connectors (1) and (2).
Fit and tighten up caps on the valve spindles.
5 – Evacuation
Evacuation (N2, T2, A01 and A04)
Fig. 2. The process descriptions below are based 
on the equipment shown.
 1.  Suction stop valve
 2.  Discharge stop valve
 3.  Connection to suction side
 4.  Shut-o valve to vacuum pump
 5.  Shut-o valve to charging cylinder
 6.  Connection to discharge side
 7.  Shut-o valve to discharge side
 8.  Shut-o valve to suction side
 9.  Connection to vacuum pump
 10. Connection to charging cylinder
Connect the discharge line to the suction stop 
valve (1) of the unit.
Connect the suction line, via the lter drier, to 
the discharge stop valve (2).
Make the connection (3) between the manifold 
and the service connector of the suction stop 
valve (1).
Make the connection (6) between the manifold 
and the service connector of the discharge stop 
valve (2).
Make the connection (9) between the vacuum 
pump and the manifold (4).
Make the connection (10) between the 
charging cylinder and the manifold (5).
Remove the protective caps from the spindles 
of both stop valves (1) and (2).
Open valves (4), (7) and (8). Open stop valves (1) 
and (2) to mid position. Start the vacuum pump.
Vacuum pumps, which are normally used for 
refrigerants containing chlorine, cannot be  
used with R134a, R404A/R507 and R452A.  
Only a vacuum pump with special Polyolester 
oil may be used for systems with refrigerant 
containing FCKW, HFCKW and HFKW.  
(Contact the pump supplier.)
Evacuation (T0, A00)
Evacuation takes place through the compressor 
then process connector after complete 
connection in the refrigerating circuit.
Plan sucient time for the evacuation as it 
takes place from the low pressure side only,
unless additional measures were taken to speed 
up the evacuation.
Vacuum pumps normally used for refrigerants 
containing chlorine must not be used with 
R134aand R404A/R507. Only a vacuum pump 
with special Polyolester oil may be used for 
systems with refrigerant containing FCKW, 
HFCKW and HFKW. (Contact the pump supplier.)
6 – Electrical connections
Prepare the electrical connections while 
evacuation is taking place. Do not start the 
compressor until the  vacuum has been broken. 
Remove the cover over the terminal board. 
Connect the leads.
It is impossible to start the unit without a 
thermostat (1H) being connected or a lead 
between 1 or 2, respectively, and L has been 
established (g. 4-7).
