If there is the necessity to operate in different condi- tions, please contact our technical office.
Dehumidifiers for radiant cooling system 3.10 Safety devices 3.10.1 High pressure switch The high pressure switch stops the unit when the condensing pressure is higher than the set value. The restart is manual (you need to press the button on the pressure switch) and it can be carried out only when the pressure is under the value indicated by the differential set. 3.10.2 Defrost thermostat It’s a device which signals to the electronic control, the necessity to make the defrost cycle.
Dehumidifiers for radiant cooling system 4.2. Health and safety Considerations The workplace must be kept clean, tidy and free from objects that may prevent free movement. Appropriate ligh- ting of the work place shall be provided to allow the operator to perform the required operations safely. Poor or too strong lighting can cause risks.
Dehumidifiers for radiant cooling system 4.4 Inspection When installing or servicing the unit, it is necessary to strictly follow the rules reported on this manual, to conform to all the specifications of the labels on the unit, and to take any possible precautions of the case.
