    ‘CO2 emission’ and ‘energy consumption’ during the whole life of the product (from design to the end life, including  transport). Eco-Design analyses highlighted the fact that the major environmental impact is related to the ”usage period” of the  above products. For this reason, ErP fixes minimum performance levels to allow products coming in the European  market. Simultaneously, ErP fixes technical communication contents to end user through a label (data on performance,  sound level) in order to help them to make their choice. ErP is applied to all air conditioning and heating equipment, whatever the type (air/air, air/water, water/water, boilers…),  the capacity, the usage (heating, cooling, SHW) is, through different “Lots” and at different application frameworks. The  first one, coming into application on 1rst January 2013, was “Lot 10”. It does concern all air conditioning systems (air/air),  with a capacity lower than 12kw, operating in heating and/or cooling mode. These regulations include air conditioning products, which are a key source of energy consumption in buildings, and  require all manufacturers to calculate energy usage in a more realistic way, moving from nominal to seasonal, creating a  more accurate calculation and representation of products in the market. Key issues in terms of compliance are: (a) Fixing a minimum level of performance in heating and cooling mode (b) Fixing a maximum sound power level for indoor and outdoor units (c) Fixing communication of above characteristics to end users through labelling Hitachi has always engineered the most environmentally-friendly heating and cooling products from its factories, and is  proud to launch a complete range of fully ErP-compliant air conditioning products. Where product ranges and models  fall outside the scope of the ErP directive (<12kW), there are a series of enhancements for RAC; in particular UTOPIA  Series, which already are market leaders in Japan’s Annual Performance Factor (APF) for seasonal efficiency. 2.2.2 Seasonal Efficiency Seasonal Efficiency has been developed in the Eco Design Directive (EU’s Energy Related Products Directive), which  specifies the minimum requirements that manufacturers must integrate into their energy using products. Target relies on a seasonal performance of the equipment called SCOP (heating mode) and SEER (cooling mode) for an  average European climate. This performance value will replace historical nominal values of COP and EER. The new calculation uses several rating temperatures for cooling and heating, and integrates partial capacity operation  in the calculation. Since most systems operate most of the time under a partial load, the new methodology gives a better  indication of expected real-life performance. The new seasonal efficiency calculation will also take into consideration the  power consumed by devices in auxiliary modes like standby mode.

    Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) in cooling and the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) in heating give a more accurate estimation of the real performance of the equipment during the whole period of usage, all  while considering: •  Several points of measure (In cooling mode: an outside temperature of 20ºC, 25ºC, 30ºC and 35ºC; in heating mode:  an outside temperature of +12ºC, +7ºC, +2ºC, and -7ºC. •  Different compressor speeds (full load and partial load), auxiliary consumption (crankcase heaters, thermostat off  mode, OFF mode…). •  Conditions of temperature (number of hours per outdoor temperature) for an identified climate (average climate for  ErP compliance) •  Building heat load (called Pdesign) Hitachi, in compliance with the Eco Design Directive, has developed the new outdoor units: new UTOPIA series, whose  high efficiency level (including SEER and SCOP values) is properly informed to our customers to allow for an easy  selection. New UTOPIA series offer high seasonal efficiencies, as well as complete flexibility, with all outdoor units from both ranges  being fully compatible with the System Free range of indoor units. Hitachi’s UTOPIA technology has all the benefits of  VRF, including individual control of each indoor unit with an increased number of indoor unit combinations in addition to  delivering excellent part-load efficiency.

N O T E • A system with no moisture or oil contamination will give maximum performance and life-cycle as compared with a poorly prepared system. Take particular care to ensure that all copper piping is clean and dry internally. • To ensure this, blow oxygen free nitrogen through the pipes. C A U T I O N • Cap the end of the pipe when the pipe is to be inserted through a hole.

    10 Electrical wiring General information 10.1 General information D A N G E R • Do not connect or adjust any wiring or connections unless the main power switch is OFF. Check and test to ensure that if there is more than one source of power supply, all are turned OFF. • Use an earth leakage breaker with medium sensitivity, and an activation speed of 0.1 sec or less. If this is not fitted, there is a risk of electric shock and/or fire. • Install an earth leakage breaker, fuse or circuit breaker of the specific capacity for each outdoor unit power line. Not fitting it may cause an electric shock or fire. • Check that the earth wire is securely connected, tagged and locked in accordance with national and local codes. • Never connect the earth cable to the refrigerant pipes. The gas in the pipes could cause a fire. • Do not connect the earth cable to the lighting arrest system. The electrical potential of earth would increase abnormally. C A U T I O N • Before any work to the electrical wiring or regular inspections, switch off the mains power supply of the indoor and outdoor units. Wait three minutes before starting installation or maintenance work. • Make sure that the interior and exterior fans have come to a complete standstill before starting work on the electrical wiring or regular inspections.
