Safety

For your safety we draw your attention to the following Warning and Caution statements
throughout the manual.
The safe operation of a KT series chiller always remains the responsibility of the operator.

Caution: Failure to comply with a Caution will invalidate product warranty and absolve

ATC from any liability, howsoever caused, and could result in permanent dam-

age to equipment.

Warning: Use of this equipment in any manner not specified by the manufacturer may

result in the protection provided by the equipment being impaired.

Warning: Failure to comply with a ‘Warning’ may result in personal injury or death. ATC

does not accept any liability for injury caused through use of this equipment.

Warning: No user serviceable parts.

Warning: Very hot surfaces, in excess of 100°C

Warning: Very cold surfaces and gases, lower than -40°C. Severe frostbite hazard.

Warning: Opening the refrigeration system may expose the operative to toxic and cor-

rosive compounds (HFC’s). Take protective measures including suitable eye
protection.

Warning: Gases may exceed 300 psi (20 bar) during operation.

Warning: All refrigerants do not support combustion and are asphyxiating gases.

Warning: After switching off, the fan blades continue to rotate. Do not attempt service

whilst the blades are rotating.

Warning: All chillers contain water and electricity in close proximity. Always ensure the

unit is isolated before service. The KT1 has an on-off switch and four protec-

tive fuses. Never bypass these components.

Caution: Filling/topping up of the tank should only be undertaken with the unit

switched off, to prevent back-flooding of the fluid.

Caution: The high integrity refrigeration system contains no user-serviceable parts.

Repair and service requires specialised knowledge and tools. Any unauthor­ised tampering with the refrigeration system automatically invalidates war­ranty.

1.1 Unpacking

Please check that both the packaging and the unit are undamaged. If there is any doubt, it
is vital that you inform both ATC and the carrier before making a claim on the carrier.
There are no hidden shipping bolts or other fixings. You should inspect the packaging for
signs of transit damage before signing for the unit, and if possible unpack the unit before
signing. Once you have signed for the goods, ATC cannot be held responsible for any
transit damage subsequently found.

Remove the unit from its original packaging and ensure that there is no packaging left
around the cooling ducts.

Please retain all packaging in the unlikely event that the chiller needs to be returned to

our local representatives.
