Break with the correct refrigerant, until pressures equalise between the charging bottle and the system. ALTERNATIVE If an alternative refrigerant is to be used, this must be with the approval of Airedale International Air Conditioning Ltd in order for the warranty to be valid. REFRIGERANTS Care must be taken to ensure that the refrigerant and compressor oil are compatible.
Condensing Units CU/CFCU Electrical Information GENERAL A fused and isolated electrical supply of the appropriate phase, frequency and voltage should be installed. As standard the equipment is designed for 230V, 1 Phase, 50Hz or 400V, 3 Phase, 4 wire 50Hz to all relevant IEE regulations, British standards and IEC requirements. All mains and interconnecting wiring should be carried out to National and Local codes.
The microprocessor (AD05) controlled condensing unit may be matched to non Airedale indoor air handling units. A contact can be closed across either the Cool and Common or Heat and Common terminals. Ensure that the cooling and heating cannot be initialised simultaneously.

Condensing Units CU/CFCU Commissioning GENERAL The following commissioning information is based on a complete matched Airedale system using R407C. PRE-START CHECKS Once the whole system has been installed it is most important that the following pre-start checks are made:- The unit condition is satisfactory.
CU/CFCU Condensing Units Commissioning CONTROL CIRCUIT Please refer to the Airedale matched indoor unit manual for further details. CHECKS Cooling Only & Heat Disconnect the compressor power wiring from the compressor contactor. Switch on mains power. Pump Check status of the Alarm LED’s on the microprocessor, refer to information provided with unit.
CU/CFCU Commissioning REFRIGERANT The following information is based on a complete Airedale matched system and indicates the approximate amount of refrigerant charge required. It is also assumed that the system CHARGING has been designed within operating parameters and to good refrigeration practice.
LED 4 will also flicker intermittently when the controller is communicating with the indoor board. The Airedale matched indoor units can be configured to a Master/Slave function, refer to indoor unit manuals for details. Master/Slave control refers to a number of indoor units in one area being controlled at one designated indoor unit by one command.
