which may cause system damage and void product warranty.
For the Installer
If you are NOT sure how to install or operate the unit, contact your dealer.
Installing and servicing air conditioning and heating equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components.
Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair or service
ating and air conditioning equipment. When working on heating and air
conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels
attached to the unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
This manual contains specific information about the required qualification of
the working personnel for maintenance, service and repair operations.
Every working procedure that affects safety means shall only be carried out by
competent persons.
Examples for such working procedures are:
- breaking into the refrigerating circuit;
- opening of sealed components or ventilated enclosures.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use quenching
cloth for brazing operations. Have fire extinguisher available for all brazing
operations. Follow all procedures to remain in compliance with national gas
regulations.
Prior to beginning work on systems containing FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, safety
checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. Work
shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of
a flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed. All
maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on
the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be
avoided.
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to
and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially toxic or
flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak etection equipment being used is
suitable for use with all applicable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigerating equipment or any
associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available
to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging
area.
No person carrying out work in relation to a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM which
involves exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a
manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible
ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far
away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during
which refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to
work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make
sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs
shall be displayed. Where electrical components are being changed, they shall
be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the
manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in
doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical depart- ment for assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to installations using FLAM- MABLE
REFRIGERANTS:
- the actual REFRIGERANT CHARGE is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
- the ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;
- if an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
- marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected;
- refrigerating pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.
Instructions for Equipment Using R-454B Refrigerant
WARNING
- Do NOT pierce or burn
- Do NOT use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean the equipment, other than those recommended by the manufacturer
- Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odor
WARNING
- The Appliance should be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage and in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater)
WARNING
Ventilated Area: ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately
ventilated before breaking into the system of conducting any hot work. A
degree of ventilation should continue during the period that the work is
carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant
and preferably expel it. Keep ventilation area clear of obstructions!
WARNING
Do NOT use potential sources of ignition in searching for or detection of
refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame)
shall not be used.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant
systems. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks
but, in the case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be
adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated
in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential
source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection
equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL. of the refrigerant and
shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the appropriate
percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are also
suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing
chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and
corrode the copper pipe-work. NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are
bubble method, fluorescent method agents If a leak is suspected, all naked
flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found
which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the
system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system
remote from the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall follow the procedure
outlined in this manual.
Installation Site
Maximum altitude for this equipment shall not exceed 2000 m. (6561 ft.) For
installation only in locations not accessible to the general public.
WARNING
For appliances using A2L refrigerants connected via an air duct system to one
or more rooms, only auxiliary devices approved by the appliance manufacturer
or declared suitable with the refrigerant shall be installed in connecting
ductwork. The manufacturer shall list in the instructions all approved
auxiliary devices by manufacturer and model number for use with the specific
appliance, if those devices have a potential to become an ignition source.
Installation Space Requirements
NOTE: Equipment with refrigerant charge less than 64 oz does not require
have a minimum floor area requirement and does not require a refrigerant leak
detection sensor. The sensor might be added as a feature.
WARNING
Equipment containing R-454B refrigerant shall be installed, operated, and
stored in a room with floor area larger than the area defined in the “Minimum
Floor Area” chart based on the total refrigerant charge in the system. This
requirement applies to indoor equipment with or without a factory refrigerant
leakage sensor.
CAUTION
This equipment requires connections to a water supply. See the “Water Quality
Guidelines” section of this manual for more information on the quality of
water required for this operation. If a potable water source is used for this
equipment’s water supply, the source water supply shall be protected against
back siphonage by the equipment.
WARNING
This equipment comes with a factory installed Refrigerant Detection Device
which is capable of determining it’s specified end-of-life and replacement
instructions. Refrigerant sensors for refrigerant detection systems shall only
be replaced with sensors specified by the appliance manufacture.
WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas
leaks, ventilate the area immediately.
POSSIBLE RISKS: Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead
to oxygen deficiency
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the
environment. Follow handling instructions carefully in compliance with
national regulations.
General Installation Information: Refrigerant Detection and Mitigation
WARNING
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check
shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from
sources such as compressors or fans. Refrigerant Leak Detection and Mitigation
Each chiller unit is provided with A2L leak detection sensors and alarm output
from the Aurora Control. This allows the leak detection strategy to occur at
the chiller unit level and the
leak mitigation strategy to occur at either the room level or the chiller
unit/bank level depending on the application.
Room Ventilation Method
Unventilated Room
Determine the total refrigerant charge in the system. In packaged systems, the
factory charge should be the total charge for the system and there should not
be a reason for adding charge in the field. The equipment serial plate and
unit Physical Data table should serve as reference for the total charge.
Use Table 1 to determine the minimum floor area, Amin. The equipment must be
installed with a minimum floor area equal or larger than the area listed in
the chart based on the total refrigerant charge of that system. If the area is
not large enough, you must move to next step for additional installation
requirements.
When the location of the installation is above 1969 ft (600m), the Altitude
Adjustment Factor in the table is needed to calculate the minimum room size”.
Example: For instance, if your elevation is 5249Ft (1500mm) your area factor
would be 1.12. If your charge weight is 80oz (2.268 kg) at a floor height
installation. The Amin would be 516 square Ft (48.0 square meters). Take 516
square ft x 1.12 for a new Amin of 577.92 square feet (53.76 square meters).

In cases where the minimum room area cannot be met, ventilation must be
provided rom either the equipment enclosure, natural ventilation to the
adjacent space, or provide mechanical ventilation in the room.
Machine Room
Equipment containing R-454B refrigerant may be installed, operated, and stored
in a machinery room and shall comply with applicable sections of ANSI/ASHRAE
15 (USA) or CSA B52 (Canada). To intergrate the mitigation control at the room
level into the unit leak detection control, see Figure C for require field
wiring instructions.
Ventilated Room
Equipment containing R-454B refrigerant shall be installed, operated, and
stored in a room with floor area larger than the area defined in the “Minimum
Floor Area” chart based on the total refrigerant charge in the system per
UL60335-2-40. This requirement applies to indoor equipment with or without a
factory refrigerant leakage sensor. If a permanent vent is used to exhaust air
from A1 to EAmin, Qmin, the minimum volumet- ric fl ow of air is provided in
Table 1. General Installation Information:

General Installation Information: Refrigerant Detection and
Mitigation
Natural Ventilation to the Outdoors or Adjacent Indoor Space
Nature ventilation can be achieved by ensuring that there is a connected space
to the room housing the equipment.
- There must be a permanent opening between the spaces.
- The area housing the equipment cannot be less than 20% of the minimum floor area.
- Permanent openings such as louvers must meet the fol- lowing requirements and have a free area greater than Anv as shown in the chart.
Mechanical Ventilation of the Equipment Room
One option for mitigation is to provide mechanical ventilation to another area
or room. The ventilation rate must be equal to or greater than the airflow
rate established in the Mechanical Ventilation Rate chart. The area
requirement for the room size where the ventilation is directed must be equal
or larger to the area in established in the Minimum Room Area – Exhaust
Ventilation chart. For modular chillers, the ventilation rate is only
necessary for the largest refrigerant charge in the bank. All chillers must
have the ability to trigger the mechanical ventilation system if a leak is
detected.
Additional measures that can be taken to reduce the minimum floor area for a
given refrigerant charge is to elevate the equipment installation. The
ventilation and room area calculated above are based on equipment mounted to
the floor. If the installation height exceeds 2 ft up to a max of 6.6 ft, the
minimum room area requirement reduces.

Chiller Installation
Unit Storage and Environmental Requirements
NOTE: The chiller must be stored in dry location. Failure to protect the
chiller from water ingress can result in extensive electrical component damage
and potentially void warranty.
If the unit needs to be stored outdoors, it is recommended that a
professionally installed shrink wrap cover is applied by third party.
Each heat exchanger has residual Propylene Glycol mixture which protects the
unit heat exchangers from freezing during transportation and storage.
Replacing the PG mixture from the heat exchangers with straight water and
storing the unit at low ambient temperatures can cause freeze damage and void
the warranty.
Moving and Rigging
The chiller can be moved using a pallet jack or a fort lift from left or right
side. Machine moving casters can be used in the front and back for moving the
chiller through tight spaces.
Rigging the chiller must be done using a H-Spreader Beam with recommended
dimensions shown in below. Always use rigging straps.
General Recommendations:
- It is recommended to install the chiller plant on a set of mounting rails for assemblies consisting of more than 3 units. Recommended mounting rails to have 4 in top flange.
- Always secure the chiller to the rails or slab using the provided holes in the chiller frame.
- Do not install spring vibration absorbers under each individual chiller. Installation of rubber isolation pads is possible.
- If vibration absorbers are required, install the vibration absorbers under the chiller plant mounting rails.
- Always bypass the chillers during initial building pipe flushing. Install flexible piping connections to chiller plant inlet and outlet pipes.
- Care must be taken to install chiller modules in correct order to ensure factory controller addressing is properly maintained. Failure to do so may result in system not operating properly.
Installation Procedure
Chiller Plants with Single Point Disconnect Panel:
-
Installation of banks with single point disconnect panel requires the units to be installed in sequence order based on the label provided in the high volt panel.
NOTICE
Each unit is supplied with power feed wires. Failure to install the unit in sequential order can cause issues with the supplied power wires not reaching the single point panel and require transferring wires between different units. -
Always attempt to start the installation with the “Primary Chiller” and Single Point Disconnect Panel (if equipped).
If the layout of the plant does not allow starting the installation with “Primary Unit”, start with the installation with a secondary chiller and ensure that the chillers are installed in sequential order based on the chiller number identify caution label or nomenclature identification (digit 21 See unit nomenclature). There are three different installation scenarios for chiller plants with single point power panel:
A. Left Single PointC. Right and Left Single Point Panel
When installing a chiller plant with two single point panels, one will be attached to the primary unit (always labelled as chiller 1), and the second panel will be attached to a secondary unit. The example below shows a primary chiller with right single point panel and left secondary panel attached to Chiller 7.
- Place all other consecutive secondary chillers to the bank ensuring that the large headers are aligned. Install the grooved header fittings. Do not over torque the bolts of the groove pipe fittings. Recommended tightening torque: 73 ft-lb.
- After all units have been connected, proceed with installing the bolts which secure the chillers to the railing or slab. The provided holes are for a 3/8” bolt.
Installation Information: Bypass and Temperature Headers
Water Connections
Water Piping must be installed in accordance with application codes and per
necessary standards. Supply and return connections should be connected per
units’ directions. Strainers are required on supply to machine per engineer
specification to prevent heat exchanger fouling from occurring. Strainers can
be installed on each chiller, one per loop or both.
Before start-up can occur, water must be CLEAN and proper procedures and care
should be implemented in order to ensure and maintain a clean system. Water
should be treated and clean per necessary standards before startup is
scheduled. Each water header is equipped standard with a temperature well
sensor for supply and return water temperatures of the units’ performance.
Also included is a flow switch located on the exit side of the heat exchanger
to ensure flow through the heat exchangers, which is integrated into the
controls and is adjusted in pre-shipping testing procedures.
The two available flow configurations are Reverse Return and Direct Flow. The
Reverse Return configuration provides better flow balance between the chillers
compared to the Direct Flow Configuration. This flow imbalance shortcoming of
the Direct Flow configuration can be overcome by utilizing the Delta T control
provided in the HydroLink2 controls platform. Installation Information: Bypass and Temperature Headers
Temperature Header Installation
The chiller plant requires global temperature reading to properly control the
staging of the chillers. The global temperature sensors are placed in a
temperature header in the inlet and outlet of each loop between the chiller
plant and the building. The temperature header is provided as a separate line
item and is a field installed item. The temperature sensors and optional
differential sensors need to be field wired to the primary HydroLink2
controller.
The default configuration of the temperature header consists of factory
installed temperature sensor and P/T port. Optional differential pressure
sensors are field installed in place of the P/T port.
Installation Recommendations:
- Do not over torque the bolts of the groove pipe fittings. Recommended tightening torque: 73 ft-lb.
- Always rotate the temp header so full access is provided to the sensors and P/T port.
- Insulate Header with min CCF insulation with minimum thickness of 0.75in.
Individual Unit Power Feed
The chiller has knockout provision for 1.5 in electrical conduit.
Water Connections
Water Piping Water Piping must be installed in accordance with application
codes and per necessary standards. Supply and return connections should be
connected per units’ directions. Strainers are required on supply to machine
per engineer specification to prevent heat exchanger fouling from occurring.
Before start-up can occur, water must be CLEAN and proper procedures and care
should be implemented in order to ensure and maintain a clean system. Water
should be treated and clean per necessary standards before startup is
scheduled. Each water header is equipped standard with a temperature well
sensor for supply and return water temperatures of the units’ performance.
Also included is a flow switch located on the exit side of the heat exchanger
to ensure flow through the heat exchangers, which is integrated into the
controls and is adjusted in pre-shipping testing procedures. Furthermore, it
is recommended to provide water isolation valves for proper isolation and
maintenance of the unit, pumps, and strainers.
Temperature Headers
Temperature headers will need to be installed between the building and chiller
connections. DP transducers must be installed at the bank level to monitor
water flow through the bank.
Bypass Headers
Bypass headers will need to be installed between the chiller outlet and the
building connection with the temperature sensors on the building side of the
bypass.

Electrical Connections
High Voltage Panels Overview
Single Point Disconnect
The single point panel (SPP) is designed with the intent tobe mounted on the
left or right side of the bank of units.
A single SPP can handle up to 10 units with limitations based on voltage
ratings. Restrictions of the number of units is applied to 208-230/60/3
options. See Single Point Disconnect Panel nomenclature for availability and
maximum number of units. In cases where a single SSP cannot service the bank
of the units, a second single point disconnect panel can be installed. The
single point panel is certified with accordance to UL508A. Single Point

Wiring Procedures
(Single Point Disconnect Options)
- Remove top panels from each chiller to gain clear access to the high volt wiring path between each chiller and the single point panel.
- Unfold all wire conduit runs and note the label on each run.
- Install the conduit runs support brackets and start connecting each run to the corresponding breaker in the single point panel. Each phase is color coded. Match the colors to L1, L2 and L3 terminals on the unit power block or disconnect switch.
- Make sure that each wire is properly seated in the lugs and the lugs are properly torqued. Recommended torque:

Wiring Procedures
- The differential pressure sensor pressure range need to match the DIP switch settings in the sensor controller. The adjustment can be made through the Primary Unit HMI.
- Use 20AWG wires size for wiring the temperature sensors and differential pressure sensors.
- The harness with all temperature inputs terminates in the back of the unit near the bottom header.
Use crimp connectors to joint the temperature sensor wiring and the primary unit harness.
Refrigerant Removal and
Evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other
purpose conventional procedures shall be used.
However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be
followed, since flammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
- safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;
- evacuate;
- purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L);
- evacuate (optional for A2L);
- continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using flame to open circuit; and
- open the circuit.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders
if venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances
containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free
nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants.
This process might need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen
shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems. For appliances containing
flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking the
vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until
the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally
pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be repeated
until no refrigerant is within the system (optional for A2L). When the final
oxygenfree nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to
atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. The outlet for the vacuum
pump shall not be close to any potential ignition sources, and ventilation
shall be available.
Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
- Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment.
- Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
- Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions.
- Ensure that the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the REFRIG- ERATING SYSTEM.
Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure-tested with the appropriate purging gas. The system shall be leak-tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
Refrigerant Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or
decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are
removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of
cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to
be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that
refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant).
Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off
valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if
possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of
instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable
for the recovery of the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the manufacturer
should be consulted.
In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in
good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect
couplings and in good condition.
The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation in
the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged.
Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have
been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable
refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The compressor body shall
not be heated by an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this
process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
