SECTION 3 PLUMBING INSTALLER
This section describes the operations to be performed for the correct plumbing installation
of the ACF60-00. The plumber must consult with the electrician to determine the correct
sequence of operations to follow.
WARNING: An incorrect installation could cause harm to people, animals or
objects: before installation, carefully read the “SAFETY WARNINGS” found on
page 3.
3.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION PRINCIPLES
The installation of the ACF60-00 must be done in conformance with the current
regulations and the local norms regarding the design, installation and maintenance of
thermal-cooling systems, and must be performed by Qualified Service Engineers following
the manufacturers instructions.
A “Qualified Service Engineer” is defined as someone having specific technical
proficiency in the air conditioning sector for and with appliances supplied by natural
gas.
During installation, the indications below should be followed:
The ACF60-00 must be installed outside the buildings, in an area having a natural
circulation of air and does not require any special protection from the elements.
In no case should the ACF60-00 be installed indoors.
The flow of air exiting the upper portion of the ACF must not be obstructed in any way.
Do not install the ACF near the exhaust flue, chimneys of other similar elements, in order
to avoid the intake of hot or polluted air by the fan to the condenser. Clean air must be
used for the ACF60-00 to function properly.
The front (side with burner panels and electric panel) and rear parts of the ACF must be
kept 800 mm and 600 mm respectively from flammable surfaces, walls or other
fabrications; this is for safety reasons as well as to facilitate any maintenance
interventions. Maintain a distance of 450 mm for the other sides, enough to ensure the
flow of cooling air needed by the condenser. A diagram of the required distances for
installation is seen in Figure 13 on page 41.
Check that the supply and the distribution network for the natural gas is in conformance
with that indicated by the manufacturer; see “GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM ” on page 47 for the
correct supply pressures.
A shut-off valve is required on the gas supply line.
Install flexible connectors on the water circuit so that ACF vibrations are not transmitted to
the water circuit. See “ACCESSORIES” on page 81.
