CAUTION

  • The above list indicates the order in which the individual work operations are normally carried out but this order may be varied where local conditions warrants such change.
  • The thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regulations for the designed pressure 3.8 MPa (551.1 psi).
  • Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state.(If the refrigerant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system will not work properly.)

OUTDOOR UNITS INFORMATION

LG ARUV168DTE5 - OUTDOOR UNITS INFORMATION - 1

CAUTION

Combination Ratio(50\~200%)

Outdoor Number Connection Ratio
Single outdoor units 200%
Double outdoor units 160%
Triple outdoor units 130%
Over the triple unit 130%

Notes: * We can guarantee the operation only within 130 % combination. If you want to connect more than 130 % combination, please contact us and discuss the requirement like below.
- If the operation of indoor unit is more than 130% , the airflow will be operated as low in the all indoor units.

ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT R410A

The refrigerant R410A has the property of higher operating pressure in comparison with R22.

Therefore, all materials have the characteristics of higher resisting pressure than R22 ones and this characteristic should also be considered during the installation.

R410A is an azeotrope of R32 and R125 mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of R410A is 0.

LG ARUV168DTE5 - ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT R410A - 1

CAUTION

  • The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regulations for the designed pressure 3.8MPa [551.1 psi]
  • Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state. If the refrigerant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system will not work properly.
  • Do not place the refrigerant container under the direct rays of the sun to prevent it from exploding.
  • For high-pressure refrigerant, any unapproved pipe must not be used.
  • Do not heat pipes more than necessary to prevent them from softening.
  • Be careful not to install wrongly to minimize economic loss because it is expensive in comparison with R22.

Select space for installing outdoor unit, which will meet the following conditions:

  • No direct thermal radiation from other heat sources
  • No possibility of annoying neighbors due to noise of unit

- No exposition to strong wind

- With strength which bears weight of unit

  • Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased locally.
  • Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
  • Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
  • Cut the cable 1.5 m (4.92 ft) longer than the pipe length.

Insulation of shutoff valve

1 Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resistance (over 120 °C [248 °F]).
2 Precautions in high humidity circumstance:

This air conditioner has been tested according to the "ISO Conditions with Mist" and confirmed that there is not any default. However, if it is operated for a long time in high humid atmosphere (dew point temperature: More than 23 °C [73.4 °F]), water drops are liable to fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according to the following procedure:

  • Heat insulation material to be prepared: EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene)-over 120 °C [248 °F] the heat-resistance temperature.
  • Add the insulation over 10 mm [0.39 inch] thickness at high humidity environment.

Nitrogen substitution method

Welding, as when heating without nitrogen substitution a large amount of the oxide film is formed on the internal piping.

The oxide film is a caused by clogging EEV, Capillary, oil hole of accumulator and suction hole of oil pump in compressor.

It prevents normal operation of the compressor.

In order to avoid this problem, Welding should be done after replacing air by nitrogen gas.

When welding plumbing pipe, the work is required.

LG ARUV168DTE5 - Nitrogen substitution method - 1

text_image Welding Point Regulator Nitrogen gas Pressure 0.02 MPa (2.9 psi) less Oxide scale Taping (Should not contain air) Auxiliary valve Nitrogen Note) should not block the outlet side. When the internal pressure in pipe is above the atmospheric pressure, pinhole is occurred and it is a leakage cause.

CAUTION

  • Always use the nitrogen.(not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, and a Chevron gas): Please use the following nitrogen pressure 0.02 MPa (2.9 psi) Oxygen - Promotes oxidative degradation of refrigerant oil. Because it is flammable, it is strictly prohibited to use Carbon dioxide - Degrade the drying characteristics of gas Chevron Gas - Toxic gas occurs when exposed to direct flame.
    • Always use a pressure reducing valve.
  • Please do not use commercially available antioxidant. The residual material seems to be the oxide scale is observed. In fact, due to the organic acids generated by oxidation of the alcohol contained in the anti-oxidants, ants nest corrosion occurs. (causes of organic acid alcohol + copper + water + temperature)

REFRIGERANT PIPING INSTALLATION

Precautions on Pipe connection / Valve operation

Pipe connection is done by connecting from the end of the pipe to the branching pipes, and the refrigerant pipe coming out of the outdoor unit is divided at the end to connect to each indoor unit. Flare connection for the indoor unit, and welding connection for the outdoor pipe and the branching parts.

- Use hexagonal wrench to open/close the valve.

2 Commercially available piping often contains dust and other materials. Always blow it clean with a dry inert gas.
3 Use care to prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the piping during installation.
4 Reduce the number of bending portions as much as possible, and make bending radius as big as possible.
5 Always use the branch piping set shown below, which are sold separately.

6 If the diameters of the branch piping of the designated refrigerant piping differs, use a pipe cutter to cut the connecting section and then use an adapter for connecting different diameters to connect the piping.
7 Always observe the restrictions on the refrigerant piping (such as rated length, difference in height, and piping diameter). Failure to do so can result in equipment failure or a decline in heating/cooling performance.
8 A second branch cannot be made after a header. (These are shown by ☑.)

9 The Multi V will stop due to an abnormality like excessive or insufficient refrigerant. At such a time, always properly charge the unit. When servicing, always check the notes concerning both the piping length and the amount of additional refrigerant.
10 Never perform a pump down. This will not only damage the compressor but also deteriorate the performance.
11 Never use refrigerant to perform an air purge. Always evacuate air by using a vacuum pump.
12 Always insulate the piping properly. Insufficient insulation will result in a decline in heating/cooling performance, drip of condensate and other such problems.
13 When connecting the refrigerant piping, make sure the service valves of the Outdoor Unit is completely closed (the factory setting) and do not operate it until the refrigerant piping for the Outdoor and Indoor Units has been connected, a refrigerant leakage test has been performed and the evacuation process has been completed.
14 Always use a non-oxidizing brazing material for brazing the parts and do not use flux. If not, oxidized film can cause clogging or damage to the compressor unit and flux can harm the copper piping or refrigerant oil.

WARNING

When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, be sure to make recharge refrigerant after perfect evacuation.

  • If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be damaged.
  • After selecting diameter of the refrigerant pipe to suit total capacity of the indoor unit connected after branching, use an appropriate branch pipe set according to the pipe diameter of the indoor unit and the installation pipe drawing.

PIPE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT

  • Pipe connections can be done on the front side or on the side according to the installation environments.
  • Be sure to let 0.2 kgf/cm² (2.8 psi) Nitrogen flow in the pipe when welding.
  • If Nitrogen was not flown during welding, many oxidized membranes may form inside the pipe and disturb the normal operations of valves and condensers.

WARNING

- In case of pipe diameter B connected after first branch is bigger than the main pipe diameter A, B should be of the same size with A.

Ex) In case indoor unit combination ratio 120 % is connected to 24 HP(67.2 kW) outdoor unit.

1) Outdoor unit main pipe diameter A : ∅ 34.9(1-3/8)(Gas pipe), ∅ 15.88(5/8)(liquid pipe)

2) Pipe diameter B after first branch according to 120 % indoor unit combination(80.6 kW): ∅ 34.9(1-3/8)(gas pipe), ∅ 19.05(3/4)(liquid pipe)

Therefore, pipe diameter B connected after first branch would be ∅ 34.9(1-3/8)(gas pipe) / ∅ 15.88(5/8)(liquid pipe) which is same with main pipe diameter.

Leak Test and Vacuum drying

Leak test

Leak test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8 MPa(38.7 kgf/cm²). If the pressure does not drop for 24 hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, check where the nitrogen leaks. For the test method, refer to the following figure. (Make a test with the service valves closed. Be also sure to pressurize liquid pipe, gas pipe and high pressure gas pipe)

The test result can be judged good if the pressure has not be reduced after leaving for about one day after completion of nitrogen gas pressurization.

    style B fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
    note right of B: When inserting nitrogen gas of high pressure, it must be used with regulator.

WARNING

Use a vacuum pump or Inert(nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge. Do not compress air or Oxygen and do not use Flammable gases. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.

- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.

LG ARUV168DTE5 - WARNING - 1

NOTE

If the ambient temperature differs between the time when pressure is applied and when the pressure drop is checked, apply the following correction factor

There is a pressure change of approximately 0.01 Mpa(1.5 psi) for each 33.8 °F (1 °C) of temperature difference.

Correction= (Temp. at the time of pressurization - Temp. at the time of check) X 0.1

For example: Temperature at the time of pressurization

3.8 MPa(551psi) is 80.6 °F (27 °C)

24 hour later: 3.73 MPa(541 psi), 68 °F

(20 °C)

In this case the pressure drop of 0.07 MPa

(10 psi) is because of temperature drop

And hence there is no leakage in pipe

occurred.

LG ARUV168DTE5 - NOTE - 1

CAUTION

To prevent the nitrogen from entering the refrigeration system in the liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be at higher position than the bottom when you pressurize the system.

Usually the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.

Vacuum Drying

Vacuum drying should be made from the service port provided on the outdoor unit's service valve to the vacuum pump commonly used for liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe. (Make Vacuum from liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe with the service valve closed.)

* Never perform air purging using refrigerant.
• Vacuum drying: Use a vacuum pump that can evacuate to -100.7 kPa (-14.6 psi, 5 Torr, -755 mmHg).

  • Evacuate the system from the liquid and gas pipes with a vacuum pump for over 2 hrs and bring the system to -100.7 kPa(-14.6 psi). After maintaining system under that condition for over 1 hr, confirm the vacuum gauge rises. The system may contain moisture or leak.
  • Following should be executed if there is a possibility of moisture remaining inside the pipe.

(Rainwater may enter the pipe during work in the rainy season or over a long period of time)

After evacuating the system for 2 hrs, give pressure to the system to 0.05 MPa(7.3 psi) (vacuum break) with nitrogen gas and then evacuate it again with the vacuum pump for 1hr to -100.7 kPa(-14.6 psi)(vacuum drying). If the system cannot be evacuated to -100.7

kPa(-14.6 psi) within 2 hrs, repeat the steps of vacuum break and its drying. Finally, check if the vacuum gauge does not rise or not, after maintaining the system in vacuum for 1 hr.

! WARNING

Use a vacuum pump or Inert(nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge. Do not compress air or Oxygen and do not use Flammable gases. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.
- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.

NOTE

Always add an appropriate amount of refrigerant. (For the refrigerant additional charge)

Too much or too little refrigerant will cause trouble.

To use the Vacuum Mode (If the Vacuum mode is set, all valves of Indoor units and Outdoor units will be opened.)

WARNING

When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, recharge after perfect evacuation.

- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be damaged.

WARNING

• Regulation for refrigerant leakage

: the amount of refrigerant leakage should satisfy the following equation for human safety.

Total amount of refrigerant in the system

≤0.44 kg/m³

Volume of the room at which Indoor Unit of the least capacity is installed

(0.028 lbs/ft ^3 )

If the above equation can not be satisfied, then follow the following steps.

- Selection of air conditioning system: select one of the next

- Installation of effective opening part

- Reconfirmation of Outdoor Unit capacity and piping length

- Reduction of the amount of refrigerant

- Installation of 2 or more security device (alarm for gas leakage)

- Change Indoor Unit type

: installation position should be over 2 m (6.6 ft) from the floor (Wall mounted type → Cassette type)

- Adoption of ventilation system

: choose ordinary ventilation system or building ventilation system

- Limitation in piping work

: Prepare for earthquake and thermal stress

Thermal insulation of refrigerant piping

Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid pipe and gas pipe separately with enough thickness heat-resistant polyethylene, so that no gap is observed in the joint between indoor unit and insulating material, and insulating materials themselves. When insulation work is insufficient, there is a possibility of condensation drip, etc. Pay special attention to insulation work to ceiling plenum.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

Caution

- Follow ordinance of your governmental organization for technical standard related to electrical equipment, wiring regulations and guidance of each electric power company.

WARNING

Be sure to have authorized electrical engineers do the electric work using special circuits in accordance with regulations and this installation manual.

If power supply circuit has a lack of capacity or electric work deficiency, it may cause an electric shock or fire.

  • Install the Outdoor Unit communication cable away from the power source wiring so that it is not affected by electric noise from the power source. (Do not run it through the same conduit.)
  • Be sure to provide designated grounding work to Outdoor Unit.

CAUTION

Be sure to correct the outdoor unit to earth. Do not connect ground wire to any gas pipe, liquid pipe, lightening rod or telephone earth line. If earth is incomplete, it may cause an electric shock.

  • Give some allowance to wiring for electrical part box of Indoor and Outdoor Units, because the box is sometimes removed at the time of service work.
  • Never connect the main power source to terminal block of communication cable. If connected, electrical parts will be burnt out.
  • Use the 2-core shielded wires for communication cable. (○ mark in the figure below) If communication cable of different systems are wired with the same multiplecore cable, the resultant poor transmitting and receiving will cause erroneous operations. (⊗ mark in the figure below)
  • Only the communication cable specified should be connected to the terminal block for Outdoor Unit communication.

CAUTION

  • Use the 2-core shielded wires for communication cables. Never use them together with power cables.
  • The conductive shielding layer of cable should be grounded to the metal part of both units.
  • Never use multi-core cable
  • As this unit is equipped with an inverter, to install a phase leading capacitor not only will deteriorate power factor improvement effect, but also may cause capacitor abnormal heating. Therefore, never install a phase leading capacitor.
  • Make sure that the power unbalance ratio is not greater than 2%. If it is greater the units lifespan will be reduced.

  • For wiring, use the designated power cable and connect firmly, then secure to prevent outside pressure being exerted on the terminal block.
  • Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will strip the head and make proper tightening impossible.
  • Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

Control box and connecting position of wiring

  • Remove all of the screws at front panel and remove the panel by pulling it forward.
  • Connect communication cable between main and sub outdoor unit through the terminal block.
  • Connect communication cables between outdoor unit and indoor units through the terminal block.
  • When the central control system is connected to the outdoor unit, a dedicated PCB must be connected between them.
  • When connecting communication cable between outdoor unit and indoor units with shielded cable, connect the shield ground to the earth screw.

CAUTION

In case of using the shielded wires, it should be grounded.

Separation of communication and power cables

- If communication and power cables are installed alongside each other then there is a strong likelihood of operational faults developing due to interference in the signal wiring caused by electrostatic and electromagnetic coupling. The tables below indicate our recommendation as to appropriate spacing of communication and power cables where these are to be run side by side

Current capacity of power cable Spacing
100V or more10 A 300 mm (11-13/16 inch)
50 A 500 mm (19-11/16 inch)
100 A 1 000 mm (39-3/8 inch)
Exceed 100 A 1 500 mm (59-1/16 inch)

NOTE

  • The figures are based on assumed length of parallel cabling up to 100 m [328 ft]. For length in excess of 100 m [328 ft] the figures will have to be recalculated in direct proportion to the additional length of cable involved.
  • If the power supply waveform continues to exhibit some distortion the recommended spacing in the table should be increased.
  • If the cable are laid inside conduits then the following point must also be taken into account when grouping various cable together for introduction into the conduits
  • Power cable(including power supply to air conditioner) and communication cables must not be laid inside the same
  • In the same way, when grouping the power wires and communication cables should not be bunched together.

CAUTION

If apparatus is not properly earthed then there is always a risk of electric shock, the grounding of the apparatus must be carried out by a qualified person.

Wiring of main power supply and equipment capacity

  • Use a separate power supply for the Outdoor Unit and Indoor Unit.
  • Bear in mind ambient conditions (ambient temperature, direct sunlight, rain water, etc.) when proceeding with the wiring and connections.
  • The cable size is the minimum value for metal conduit wiring. The power cord size should be 1 rank thicker taking into account the line voltage drops. Make sure the power-supply voltage does not drop more than 10 %.
  • Specific wiring requirements should adhere to the wiring regulations of the region.
  • Power supply cords of parts of appliances for outdoor use should not be lighter than polychloroprene sheathed flexible cord.
  • Don't install an individual switch or electrical outlet to disconnect each of indoor unit separately from the power supply.

WARNING

  • Indoor unit ground lines are required for preventing electrical shock accident during current leakage, Communication disorder by noise effect and motor current leakage (without connection to pipe).
  • Don't install an individual switch or electrical outlet to disconnect each of indoor unit separately from the power supply.
    • Install the main switch that can interrupt all the power sources in an integrated manner because this system consists of the equipment utilizing the multiple power sources.
  • If there exists the possibility of reversed phase, lose phase, momentary blackout or the power goes on and off while the product is operating, attach a reversed phase protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed phase may break the compressor and other parts.
  • When using shielded wires, perform a single-point grounding only to the outdoor unit for grounding of communication wires.

NOTE

  • Field wiring diagram is to be used as a guideline only. Wiring should comply with applicable local and national codes
  • ELCB must have function to prevent electrical short and over current at the same time.
  • Use copper wires only.
  • Unit must be grounded in compliance with the applicable local and national codes.
  • ELCB and fuse/breaker must install to the power line

LG ARUV168DTE5 - NOTE - 1

WARNING

  • Indoor unit ground lines are required for preventing electrical shock accident during current leakage, Communication disorder by noise effect and motor current leakage (without connection to pipe).
  • Don't install an individual switch or electrical outlet to disconnect each of indoor unit separately from the power supply.
  • Install the main switch that can interrupt all the power sources in an integrated manner because this system consists of the equipment utilizing the multiple power sources.
  • If there exists the possibility of reversed phase, lose phase, momentary blackout or the power goes on and off while the product is operating, attach a reversed phase protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed phase may break the compressor and other parts.

NOTE

  • Field wiring diagram is to be used as a guideline only. Wiring should comply with applicable local and national codes
  • ELCB must have function to prevent electrical short and over current at the same time.
  • Use copper wires only.
  • Unit must be grounded in compliance with the applicable local and national codes.
  • ELCB and fuse/breaker must install to the power line

LG ARUV168DTE5 - NOTE - 1

WARNING

  • Indoor unit ground lines are required for preventing electrical shock accident during current leakage, Communication disorder by noise effect and motor current leakage (without connection to pipe).
  • Don't install an individual switch or electrical outlet to disconnect each of indoor unit separately from the power supply.
    • Install the main switch that can interrupt all the power sources in an integrated manner because this system consists of the equipment utilizing the multiple power sources.
  • If there exists the possibility of reversed phase, lose phase, momentary blackout or the power goes on and off while the product is operating, attach a reversed phase protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed phase may break the compressor and other parts.

CAUTION FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK

The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regulations or standards.

The following standards may be applicable if local regulations are not available.

Introduction

Though the R410A refrigerant is harmless and incombustible itself, the room to equip the air conditioner should be large to such an extent that the refrigerant gas will not exceed the Concentration limit even if the refrigerant gas leaks in the room.

Concentration limit

Concentration limit is the limit of Freon gas concentration where immediate measures can be taken without hurting human body when refrigerant leaks in the air. The Concentration limit shall be described in the unit of [kg/m^3 (lbs/ft ^3 )] (Freon gas weight per unit air volume) for facilitating calculation.

Concentration limit: 0.44 kg/m ^3 (0.028 lbs/ft ^3 ) (R410A)

    D --> E["Room where refrigerant leaks (Refrigerant of the whole No.1 system flows out.)"]
    E --> F["{ ... }"]

Checking procedure of limiting concentration

Check Concentration limit along following steps and take appropriate measure depending on the situation.

Calculate amount of all the replenished refrigerant [kg (lbs)] per each refrigerant system.

text_image Amount of pre charged refrigerant per single unit + Amount of additional replenished refrigerant = Total amount of refrigerant in the system system [kg (lbs)] Amount of replenished refrigerant at factory shipment Amount of additionally replenished refrigerant depending on piping length or piping diameter by customer Note : In case one refrigerant facility is divided into 2 or more refrigerant systems and each system is independent, amount of replenished refrigerant of each system shall be adopted.

Calculate refrigerant concentration level

Calculate the volume of the room where indoor unit is installed as single room or the smallest room.

- Without partition

- With partition but opened which serve passage of air to adjoining room

text_image Total amount of refrigerant system [kg(lbs)] Volume of smallest room whereindoor unit is installed [m³(ft²)] = Maximum concentration limit [kg/m³ (lbs/ft³)] (R410A)

- In case the result of calculation exceeds the Concentration limit, perform the same calculations by shifting to the second smallest, and the third smallest rooms until at last the result is below the Concentration limit.

In case the concentration exceeds the limit

When the concentration exceeds the limit, change original plan or take one of the countermeasures shown below:

• Countermeasure 1

Provide opening for ventilation.

Provide 0.15 % or More size of opening to floor space both above and below door, or provide opening without door.

- Countermeasure 2

Provide gas leak alarm linked with mechanical ventilator.

- Countermeasure 3

Reducing the system's refrigerant quantity by deviding into smaller separate system.

    D["Indoor unit"] --> E["Opening effective to ventilation"]
    F["Countermeasure 1"] --> G["Opening effective to ventilation"]

Pay a special attention to the place, such as a basement, etc. where refrigerant can stay, since refrigerant is heavier than air.

INSTALLATION GUIDE AT THE SEASIDE

LG ARUV168DTE5 - INSTALLATION GUIDE AT THE SEASIDE - 1

CAUTION

• Air conditioners should not be installed in areas where corrosive gases, such as acid or alkaline gas, are produced.
- Avoid installing the product where it could be exposed to sea wind (salty wind) directly. It can result corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product malfunction or inefficient operation.
- If outdoor unit is installed close to the seaside, should avoid direct exposure to the sea wind.

Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit)

If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind should be avoided. Install the outdoor unit on the opposite side of the sea wind direction.

LG ARUV168DTE5 - Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit) - 1

text_image Sea wind Sea wind

In case, to install the outdoor unit on the seaside, set up a windbreak not to be exposed to the sea wind.

LG ARUV168DTE5 - Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit) - 2

text_image Windbreak Sea wind
  • It should be strong enough like concrete to prevent the sea wind from the sea.
  • The height and width should be more than 150 % of the outdoor unit.
  • It should be kept more than 70 cm (2.3 ft) of distance between outdoor unit and the windbreak for smooth air flow.

Select a well-drained place.

- Periodic (1 times per 6 month) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the heat exchanger is necessary by using clean water

If there is improper installation or maintenance not complying with the installation guide, product's performance and reliability is not guaranteed.

Airborne Noise Emission

The A-weighted sound pressure emitted by this product is below 70 dB.

** The noise level can vary depending on the site.

The figures quoted are emission level and are not necessarily safe working levels.

Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required.

Factor that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce include the characteristics of the work room and the other sources of noise, i.e. the number of equipment and other adjacent processes and the length of time for which an operator exposed to the noise. Also, the permissible exposure level can vary from country to country.

This information, however, will enable the user of the equipment to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
