Chapter 1 Safety Instructions
All personnel who work with or around the product should read and
understand the safety related information in this manual carefully
before starting work.
The safety manager is responsible for strictly observing safety
standards, but responsibility in respect to safety standards during daily
work resides with each individual operator and maintenance
personnel.
Do not use the materials that rust or corrode for the circulating fluid and
facility water circuits. Using the materials that tend to rust or corrode
may cause clogs or/and leakages of the circulating fluid and facility
water circuits. In case of using these kind of materials, consider and
carry out some prevention against the rusting or corrosion on the
customer side.
This manual must be kept available to operators whenever necessary.

Do not set up the product in places possibly exposed to leakage of
flammable gas. Should any flammable gas stay around the product,
the product may cause a fire.
Keep the product upright on a rigid and flat floor which can resist the
weight of the product, and take measures to prevent the product from
tipping over. Improper installation may cause water leakage, tipping,
damage of the product or injure the operator.
Keep the ambient temperature of the product between 2 to 45oC.
Operation out of this ambient temperature range may cause a
malfunction of the product. Operating the product in an environment
temperature of 45 oC may reduce the heat discharging efficiency of
the heat exchanger and the safety device may function, resulting in
the product operation stoppage.
The installer/end user is responsible for carrying
out an acoustic noise risk assessment on the equipment after
installation and taking appropriate measures as required.

● Location that is exposed to corrosive gas, organic solvent, chemical solution, or
flammable gas. (The product is not explosion-proof.)
● Location where the ambient temperature is out of the following range:
During transportation or storage: -15 to 50°C (No water or circulating fluid in the
piping.)
During operation : 2 to 45°C
● Location where condensation forms on the inside electrical parts.
● Location that is exposed to direct sunlight or heat radiation
● Location that is near heat sources and poor in ventilation.

Thermo-chiller installation in high altitude of 1000 meters or more
Because of lower air density, the heat radiation efficiencies of the devices in
the product will be lower in the location at altitude of 1000m or higher. For this
reason, the maximum ambient temperature for the thermo-chiller operation
and the cooling capacity will be reduced.
For product installation at a place of high altitude of 1000 meters or more,
select a thermo-chiller of the applicable capacity referring to the table below.
1. Max. ambient temp.: Use the product in lower ambient temperature
than the described value at each altitude.
2. Cooling capacity correction coefficient: Coefficient to calculate the cooling
capacity at each altitude
For the product operation at an altitude of 1800 meters, the cooling capacity
at an altitude of 1800 meters = “8.4 Cooling Capacity” x 0.8.

Radiates heat from the air vent of the cooling fan.
If the product is operated with insufficient air ventilation the internal
temperature can exceed 45oC, which can cause and affect the
performance and life of the product. To prevent this ensure that
suitable ventilation is available (see below).

nstallation of multiple products
Keep sufficient space between products so that the air vented from one product will not be taken in
Installation at indoor site
by other products.
1. For a facility having a large installation area (that can vent the air naturally):
Make an air outlet on a wall at a high level and air inlet on a wall at a low level, to allow for
adequate airflow.
2. For a facility having a small installation area (that can not vent the air naturally):
Make a forced air exhaust vent on a wall at a high level and an air inlet on a wall at a low level.
3. Using duct to exhaust the air:
In case the indoor site cannot accept the exhausted air from the product or/and is air
conditioned, ventilate by installing a duct on the outlet ventilation of the product. Do not fasten
the duct on the outlet ventilation of the product directly. Have the space at least the duct’s
diameter apart. Use a fan for the duct that considered the ventilation resistance of the duct.

Do not modify the internal electrical wiring of the product. Incorrect
wiring may cause electric shock or fire. Also, modifying the internal
wiring will void the product’s warranty.
NEVER connect the ground to water line, gas pipe or lightning
conductor.
The installation of electrical equipment and wiring work should be
performed only by personnel with sufficient knowledge and
experience.
Be sure to shut off the user’s power supply. Wiring with the product
energized is strictly prohibited.
The wiring must be conducted using cables complying with “Table
3.3-1” and firmly secured to the product to prevent the external force
of cables being applied to the terminals. Incomplete wiring, or
improper securing of wiring, may cause electrical shock or excessive
heat and fire.
Ensure a stable power supply with no voltage surges.
Ensure that an earth leakage breaker is used in the power supply of
the product. See “Table 3.3-1”.
Use a power supply suitable for the specifications of the product.
Use a power supply of over voltage category 3 (IEC60664-1)*.
Be sure to connect the ground connection.
Ensure that a lock out facility is availble on the power supply.
Each product must have its own separate earth leakage breaker.
Otherwise there can be a risk of electric shock or fire.
Ensure that no harmonics are superimposed at power supply.
(Do not use inverter, etc.)
Supply a steady power supply which is not affected by surges or
distortion. In particular, if the voltage rate of increase (dv/dt) at
zero crossing exceeds 40V/200μsec, it may cause malfunction.

The electrical facilities should be installed and wired in accordance
with local laws and regulations of each country and by a person who
has knowledge and experience.
Check the power supply. Operation with voltages, capacities and
frequencies other than the specified values can cause fire and electric
shock.
Wire with an applicable cable size and terminal. Forcibly mounting
with an unsuitably size cable may result in heat generation or fire.
Be sure to lock out and tag out the breaker of the facility power supply
(customer power supply facility) before wiring.
Be sure to connect the power supply cable from the product side first,
and then connect the breaker of the facility power supply (the user’s
machine power supply).
When the panel is removed or mounted, be sure to wear protective
shoes and gloves to prevent injury with the edge of the panel.
