General safety notes

The heat pump is a state of the art product and is equipped with the necessary safety equipment. It has been designed,
manufactured and documented in accordance with the valid EU directives and in compliance with the associated
harmonised standards. This is documented by the } CE declaration of conformity [2.3.1, p. 8] .
However, the heat pump can cause hazards if the safety notes are warning notices in these operating instructions and
on the warning signs are not observed. The safety notes in this section help to prevent injury and damage.
The operator must ensure that all safety notes and warning notices are understood and observed. They must ensure that
all persons who work on or with the heat pump have fully read and understood the operating instructions before starting
work.
Work on the heat pump is only to be performed by qualified personnel } Personnel requirements [2.4, p. 8] .
When working on the heat pump, wear personal protective equipment consisting of protective gloves, safety shoes,
safety glasses and long-sleeved clothing that fully covers the body. Comply with the applicable local regulations for
personal protective equipment (in Germany: DGUV regulation 100-500 Chap. 2.35).
The applicable local accident prevention regulations must be observed. The product must not be used without the
safety features.
2.1.1

Specific hazards and residual risks

• Residual energy
◦ Hot surfaces on parts of device
◦ Electric voltage in switch box despite the main switch being switched off
◦ Refrigerant circuit is pressurised
• Substances hazardous to health
◦ The legal regulations and directives must be followed when handling refrigerant
◦ Only qualified personnel are permitted to handle refrigerant
◦ Wear personal protective equipment consisting of safety gloves, safety shoes, safety glasses and long-sleeved
clothing that fully covers the body.
◦ Refrigerant and system parts no longer used must be properly disposed of by the operator of the heat pump
• Hydraulic system
• Sound pressure
• Heat
• Risk of explosion and fire
• Risk of injury due to modification of device
• Risk of injury due to wear or damage to device
• Risk of injury due to trip hazards and leaked operating materials.
◦ Avoid trip hazards caused by cables, pipes and hoses.
◦ Soak up leaked operating materials using suitable binding agents and dispose of in accordance with the hazard
class.
2.1.2

Work on electrical connections and components

In all life phases, work on electrical connections or components may only be carried out by trained electricians. Observe
national and regional regulations for accident prevention and carrying out electrical installations.
Before starting any work on electrical connections or components, observe the five safety rules for electrical
engineering:
• Disconnect
• Secure against being switched on again
• Ensure that there is an absence of voltage at all poles
• Earth and short-circuit
• Cover or cordon off adjacent live parts
After disconnecting, wait five minutes to ensure that all components are de-energised.
