TEST RUN

BEFORE THE TEST RUN
A test run must be performed after the entire system has been completely
installed. Confirm the following points before performing the test.
a. Indoor and outdoor units are properly installed.
b. Piping and wiring are properly connected.
c. There are no obstacles near the unit's inlet and outlet that
might cause poor performance or product malfunction.
d. Refrigeration system does not leak.
e. Drainage system is unimpeded and draining to a safe location.
f. Heating insulation is properly installed.
g. Grounding wires are properly connected.
h. Length of the piping and additional refrigerant recorded.
i. Power voltage is the correct voltage for the system.
CAUTION
Failure to perform the test run may result in unit damage, property
damage, or personal injury.
Test Run Instructions
1. Open both the liquid and gas stop valves.
2. Turn on the main power switch and allow the unit to warm up.
3. Set the air conditioner to the COOL mode.
4. For the indoor unit:
a. Double check to see if the room temperature is being registered
correctly.
b. Ensure the manual buttons on the indoor unit work properly.
c. Ensure the drainage system is unimpeded and draining
smoothly.
d. Ensure there is no vibration or abnormal noise during
operation.
5. For the outdoor unit:
a. Check to see if the refrigeration system is leaking.
b. Ensure there is no vibration or abnormal noise during
operation.
c. Ensure the wind, noise, and water generated by the unit do not
disturb neighbors or pose a safety hazard.
6. Drainage Test
a. Ensure the drainpipe flows smoothly. New buildings should
perform this test before finishing the ceiling.
