(1) Choose a place where good drainage is available, or provide a drainage ditch. (2) Do not install the unit over walkways. Condensation can spill onto people. If installing the unit in such a place, utilize the additional condensation drainage pan.
6. Refrigerant Piping Work The pressure for this product is 601 psi (4.15MPa). The pressure required for refrigerant R410A is 1.4 times higher than that of the refrigerant R22. That means that the refrigerant piping for R410A refrigerant piping may rupture due to an excessive refrigerant pressure. Pay close attention to the piping thickness when using copper refrigerant piping.
Piping Materials (1) Obtain locally-supplied copper pipes. (2) Use the copper pipe for refrigerant piping. (3) Pay close attention to pipe thickness. (4) Use clean copper pipes. Make sure there is no dust or moisture inside the pipes. Blow nitrogen or dry compressed air into the pipes to remove any dust or foreign materials before connecting them.

8. Additional Refrigerant Charge Airtight Test (1) Check to ensure that spindles of the stop valves for gas and liquid pipes are closed completely before airtight test. (2) The refrigerant used for this outdoor unit is R410A. Use the manifold gauge and the charging hose for exclusive use of R410A.
Page 63
< Airtight Test Method > (1) Connect the manifold gauge to the check joints of the liquid line and the gas line stop valves using charging hoses with a vacuum pump or a nitrogen cylinder. Perform the airtight test. Do not open the stop valves. Apply nitrogen gas pressure of 601 psi (4.15MPa). leaking part.
Vacuuming (1) Connect a manifold gauge and vacuum pump to the check joints (Gas Stop Valve and Liquid Stop Valve). (2) Continue vacuum pumping work until the pressure reaches -14.5 psi (-0.1MPa, -756mmHg) or lower for one to two hours. Once the desired vacuum pressure has been reached, turn OFF the pump and leave the gauge for one hour.
Page 65
(b) Operate the compressor in the cooling mode and charge the additional refrigerant from the check joint of the liquid stop valve. An acceptable error must fall within 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg). At this time, keep the liquid stop valve slightly open. (c) After the refrigerant is charged, fully open the liquid stop valve and the gas stop valve.
Additional Refrigerant Charge Calculation Table 8.1 Additional Refrigerant Charge Calculation Although this unit has been charged with refrigerant, an additional refrigerant charge is required according to piping length. Determine what additional quantity of refrigerant according to the following procedures, and charge it into the system.
Page 68
(1) Refrigerant quantity check operation can be performed using the automatic judgment function after completing refrigerant charging, but depending on the installation and conditions, the result may be with the refrigerant amount calculated in the previous section regardless of this automatic judgment function result.
Page 69
Wait for at least three minutes after turning OFF the No.4 pin of DSW5 OFF and then the outdoor unit is ready to run. NOTE: During the check of refrigerant quantity operation, the 7-segment display may change over to display the protection control code by the activation of protection control.
9. Test Run Test Run should be performed in accordance with Section 9.2. Use Table 9.1 for recording the Test Run. An electrical shock will occur if there is residual voltage. Turn OFF power at the power source completely before attempting any electrical maintenance work. Verify that no residual voltage exists after turning OFF the power at the power source.
Page 71
Caution for Insulation Resistance If the total unit insulation resistance is lower than one megaohm, the compressor insulation resistance may be lower, due to refrigerant being retained in the compressor. This can occur if the unit has not been used over prolonged periods of time. itself.
Test Run This test run method is for the wired controller. As for other controllers, refer to the “Installation and Maintenance Manual” attached to each controller. (1) Check to ensure that stop valves for gas and liquid of the outdoor unit are fully opened. (In the case of combined outdoor units, check to ensure that all stop valves of the outdoor units are fully opened.) (2) Perform the test run of indoor units one by one sequentially, and then check the accordance of the...
