WARNINGS
THE PHRASE WARNING IS USED WHERE THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD THE PROVISIONS HIGHLIGHTED BE IGNORED. IT IS THE DUTY
OF BOTH THE INSTALLER/OWNER AND OPERATOR OF THE EQUIPMENT TO BE FAMILIAR
AND COMPETENT WITH THE OPERATION AND USES OF THE PRODUCT. HELP MAY BE
SOUGHT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
(1) The system contains specific hazards, which present a significant danger to personal
safety;
(a) high voltage electrical components and high-pressure refrigerant gases, which are
a significant frostbite hazard.
(b) refrigerant gases, which will cause asphyxiation in confined areas.
(c) refrigerant gases, which if exposed to high temperatures decompose to form very
toxic by-products ā never smoke in the vicinity of a TVP or any other similar system
including the gas cylinders.
(d) water in close proximity to high voltage electricity.
(e) hot and cold surfaces which represent a significant burn / frostbite hazard.
(2) the system contains gases under pressure, which may constitute both a frostbite hazard
and a burn hazard. Refrigerant gases are known asphyxiants and are mildly narcotic.
Precautions must be taken and work must only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
(3) removal of any panels other than the front door will expose the operator to high voltage
components, which may result in a fatal electrocution
(4) failure to leak test the system as a whole may result in the catastrophic release of
refrigerant, which presents a very high risk from frostbite and or asphyxiation. See emergency
shut down procedures and the material safety data sheet for guidance.
(5) during installation there is the potential to be exposed to high voltage components (up
to 400v ac), which may result in a fatal electrocution.
(6) TVP units must always be operated with a suitable ground/earth line. Failure to comply
may result in fatal electrocution. Never tamper with or remove any ground/earth connection
from inside of the machine.
(7) isolate system before connection. Ensure the connection cable used is compliant with
local electrical requirements. Cabling within the unit is tri-rated to CSA / UL / CE norms. There
should be three power wires and one ground wire; there is no neutral line. Feed cable through
gland and terminate at main system isolator, having first removed the protective cover.
Ground the TVP at primary ground point.
(8) failure to replace isolator cover exposes operators to potentially fatal electrocution. It
is essential this primary protection always be in place before the system is energised.
(9) always isolate the system through the main circuit breaker before attaching the remote
control. When in remote operation take additional care to prevent personal injury,
