6.1  Preparations for start-up
INFO!   In order to protect the compressor against inadmissible operating 
conditions,high-pressureandlow-pressurepressostatscontrolsare
mandatory on the installation side.
The compressor has undergone trials in the factory and all functions have been tested. There are 
therefore no special running-in instructions.
Checkthecompressorfortransportdamage!
6.4 Evacuation
ATTENTION!  Do not start the compressor if it is under vacuum. Do not apply 
any voltage - even for test purposes (must only be operated with 
 refrigerant).
  Under vacuum, the spark-over and creepage current distances of the  
  terminal board connection bolts shorten; this can result in winding and 
  terminal board damage.

6.2  Pressure strength test
DANGER!   Bursting!  The compressor must only be pressurised using nitrogen 
(N
2
). Never pressurise with oxygen or other gases!
   The maximum permissible overpressure of the compressor must not 
be exceeded at any time during the testing process (see name plate 
data)!  Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen as this could 
cause the ignition limit to shift into the critical range.
The compressor has been factory-tested for pressure resistance. The following must be observed if 
the entire plant is subjected to an additional pressure strength test:
  Test the refrigeration circuit according to EN 378-2 or a corresponding safety standard.
6.3  Leaktest
DANGER!   Bursting! 
 Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen (N
2
) as this could cause 
the ignition limit to shift into the critical range.
 Carry out the leak test of the refrigerating system in accordance with EN 378-2 or a corresponding  
  safety standard without including the compressor.
