- Refit the 2 original caps (be sure they are clean) and
tighten them to the recommended tightening torque
(figure 19, page

caps only metal to metal.
The outdoor unit does not contain any additional
refrigerant, enabling the installation to be purged.
Flushing is strictly forbidden.
3 .4 .4 Sealing test
Once the refrigeration circuit has been gassed as
described above, check that all the refrigeration
connectors are gas-tight (4 connectors).
The sealing test must be performed with an approved
gas detector. If the flarings have been made correctly,
there should be no leaks.
" If there is a leak:
- Bring the gas into the outdoor unit (pump down).
- Make the connection again.
- Repeat the commissioning procedure.

are greater, an additional charge of R410A is required.
The additional charge depends on the distance
between the outdoor unit and the hydraulic unit for
each type of appliance. The additional charge of R410A
must necessarily be made by an approved refrigeration
engineer.
• Example of additional charge :
An outdoor unit 17 m away from the hydraulic unit will
require an additional charge of :
Additional charge = (17 - 15) x 50 = 100 g.
The charge must be introduced after creating the
vacuum and before the hydraulic unit is filled with gas,
as follows :
- Disconnect the vacuum pump (yellow hose) and
- Open the bottle's valve.
- Bleed the yellow hose by loosening it slightly on the
