●
The specifications shown in the above table are for units without heaters. For units with heaters, refer to the installation instructions or the construction
instructions of the indoor unit.
●
Switchgear or Circuit breaker capacity which is calculated from MAX. over current should be chosen along the regulations in each country.
●
The cable specifications are based on the assumption that a metal or plastic conduit is used with no more than three cables contained in a conduit and a
voltage drop is 2%. For an installation falling outside of these conditions, follow the internal cabling regulations. Adapt it to the regulation in effect in each
country.

5. TEST RUN

●
Before conduct a test run, do not fail to make sure that the operation valves are closed.
WARNING
●
Turn on power 6 hours prior to a test run to energize the crank case heater.
●
In case of the first operation after turning on power, even if the unit does not move for 30 minutes, it is not a breakdown.
●
Always give a 3-minute or longer interval before you start the unit again whenever it is stopped.
●
Removing the service panel will expose high-voltage live parts and high-temperature parts, which are quite dangerous.
Take utmost care not to incur an electric shock or burns. Do not leave the unit with the service panel open.
●
When you operate switches (SW3, SW5) for on-site setting, be careful not to touch a live part.
CAUTION ●
You cannot check discharge pressure from the liquid operation valve charge port.
●
The 4-way valve (20S) is energized during a heating operation.
●
When power supply is cut off to reset the unit, give 3 or more minutes before you turn on power again after power is cut
off. If this procedure is not observed in turning on power again, "Communication error between outdoor and indoor unit"
may occur.
1) Test run method
(1) A test run can be initiated from an outdoor unit by using SW3-3 and SW3-4 for on-site
setting.
(2) Switching SW3-3 to ON will start the compressor.
(3) The unit will start a cooling operation, when SW3-4 is OFF, or a heating operation, when SW3-4 is ON.
(4) Do not fail to switch SW3-3 to OFF when a test run is completed.
2) Checking the state of the unit in operation
Use check joints provided on the piping before and after the four-way valve installed inside the outdoor
unit for checking discharge pressure and suction pressure.
As indicated in the table shown on the right, pressure detected at each point will vary
depending on whether a cooling or heating operation has been selected.
3) Setting SW3-1, SW3-2, on-site
(1) Defrost control switching (SW3-1)
・ When this switch is turned ON, the unit will run in the defrost mode more frequently.
・ Set this switch to ON, when installed in a region where outdoor temperature falls below zero during the season the unit is run for a heating
operation.
(2) Snow guard fan control (SW3-2)
・ When this switch is turned on, the outdoor unit fan will run for 10 seconds in every 10 minutes, when outdoor temperature falls to 3℃ or
lower and the compressor is not running.
・ When the unit is used in a very snowy country, set this switch to ON.
4) Failure diagnosis in a test run

6) Heed the following on the first operation after turning on the circuit breaker.
This outdoor unit may start in the standby mode (waiting for a compressor startup), which can continue up to 30 minutes, to prevent the oil
level in the compressor from lowering on the first operation after turning on the circuit breaker. If that is the case, do not suspect a unit failure.

<Where the existing unit can be run for a cooling operation.>
WARNING
Carry out the following steps with the excising unit (in the order of (1), (2), (3) and (4))
(1) Run the unit for 30 minutes for a cooling operation.
(2) Stop the indoor fan and run the unit for 3 minutes for a cooling operation (returning liquid)
(3) Close the liquid side operation valve of the outdoor unit and pump down (refrigerant recovery)
(4) Blow with nitrogen gas. ※ If discolored refrigeration oil or any foreign matters is discharged by the blow,
wash the pipe system or install a new pipe system.
●
For the flare nut, do not use the old one, but use the one supplied with the outdoor unit.
Process a flare to the dimensions specified for R410A.
Turn on-site setting switch SW5-1 to the ON position. (Where the gas pipe size is φ 19.05)
●
<Where the existing unit cannot be run for a cooling operation.>

※1 Because of its insufficient pressure resistance, turn the dip switch SW5-1 provided on the outdoor unit board to the ON position for φ19.05 × t1.0.
(In the case of a twin-triple-double-twin model, this also applies to the case where φ19.05 × t1.0 is used in a pipe system after the first branching point.)
However, you need not turn the dip switch SW5-1 to the ON position, if 1/2H pipes or pipes having 1.2 or thicker walls are used.
※2 When the main pipe length exceeds 40m, a significant capacity drop may be experienced due to pressure loss in the liquid pipe system. Use φ12.7 for the
liquid main.
※3 Keep the total pipe length, not one-way pipe length, below the specified maximum pipe length.
※4 Piping size after branch should be equal or smaller than main pipe size.
※5 Piping size from first branch to indoor unit should be φ9.52 (Liquid) /φ12.7 (Gas).
● When refrigerant piping is shoter than 3m, reduce refrigerant by 1kg from factory charged volume.
Any combinations of pipe sizes not listed in the table or marked with × in the table are not usable.

Formula to calculate additional charge volume
Additional charge volume (kg) = {Main pipe length (m) – Length covered without additional charge shown in the table (m)} ×
Total length of branch pipes (m)× Additional charge volume per meter of pipe shown in the table (kg/m)
※ If you obtain a negative figure as a result of calculation, no additional refrigerant needs to be charged.
Example) When an 140V (single installation) is installed in a 20m long existing pipe system (liquid φ12.7, gas φ19.05),
the quantity of refrigerant to charge additionally should be (20m-15m) x 0.08kg/m = 0.4 kg.
