Installation Inspection and Testing
Step 4-4 Adding refrigerant (if needed)
The outdoor unit is charged with sufficient R-32 refrigerant to
support up to a 5 m line set. For lengths greater than 5 m,
you must add 15 g of refrigerant per meter of additional
length, after the lines are evacuated.
1
Calculate the additional refrigerant required:
Additional grams of R-32 = (Total line set meter − 5) × 15
2
Connect the common hose of the manifold gauge set to
the inverted R-32 refrigerant cylinder.
3
Place the refrigerant cylinder on a scale set to measure
grams.
4
Open the valve on the tank.
5
At the manifold connection, bleed the refrigerant to
remove any air that may be present in the common hose.
6
Open the gauge manifold and charge the system with the
amount of refrigerant calculated in step 1.
7
Close the gauge manifold valve, close the valve on the
refrigerant tank, and remove the common hose.
Precautions on adding the R-32 refrigerant
In addition to the conventional charging procedure, the
following requirements shall be kept.
•
Make sure that contamination by other refrigerants
does not occur for charging.
•
To minimize the amount of refrigerant, keep the hoses
and lines as short as possible.
•
The cylinders shall be kept upright.
•
Make sure that the refrigeration system is earthed
before charging.
•
Label the system after charging, if necessary.
•
Extreme care is required not to overcharge the system.
•
Before recharging, the pressure shall be checked with
nitrogen blowing.
•
After charging, check for leakage before commissioning.
•
Be sure to check for leakage before leaving the work
area.

Step 4-5 Important information:
regulation regarding the refrigerant used
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do not
vent gases into the atmosphere.
CAUTION
•
Inform user if the system contains 5 tCO₂e or more of
fluorinated greenhouse gases. In this case, it must be
checked for leakage at least once every 12 months,
according to regulation No. 517/2014. This activity must
be covered by qualified personnel only. In the case of
the situation above, the installer (or authorized person
with responsibility for final check) must provide a
maintenance book, with all the information recorded,
according to REGULATION (EU) No. 517/2014 OF THE
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 16
April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases.
