 Instructions to the Users

Please read this manual carefully before use and follow the mentioned instructions.

WARNING
• Installation, refrigerant piping, drain pip ing, power/control cabling,earthing etc. must be carried out
under the guidance of Blue Star’s authorised personnel.

• Contact Blue Star authorised personnel for any repair/relocation of the units.

CAUTION

• Do not install the units, control and power cables within 3m fro m electromagnetic waves
(equipments such as medical equipments).
• Once started, the unit shall not be switched off for at least 5 minutes; otherwise the service life of
the unit will be affected.
• Do not operate the unit with wet hands.
• Please disconnect the main power while carrying out service
• Please disconnect the main power when the unit is not in use for long periods.
• Please do not place any goods on any of the units .

Safety precautions while working with Inverters:

1) Inverter components deal with High level DC Voltage (> 500 V DC)
2) All Inverter circuits have capacitors which hold DC charge in them for atleast
1 min even switching off the unit.
3) Wait for atleast 1 minute after you switch off the power before touching inside
PCBs.
4) Do not touch any inverter component when the power is ON
5) Please read all warnings and instructions carefully before opening the Control box
6) Please ensure that Power supply locking and tagging is done at site during
maintenance activities

Electrical Cabling:

Communication wiring has to be carried out using shielded cable only.

Testing and commissioning:

Since it is R410A refrigerant System, we need to consider the following while carrying out piping work:

1. Refrigerant piping works need to be carried out as per the standard practices for R410A which is hygroscopic in
nature
2. Nitrogen bleeding is required while brazing is carried out.
3. Multi stage Pressure testing upto 550 psi needs to be done with nitrogen
4. Vacuum upto 500 microns needs to be carried out after ensuring that there is no leakage in the system.
5. Commissioning of the unit will have to be carried out by authorised persons only.
