Electrical installation NOTICE When connecting the earth wire, align the wire with the cut out section of the cup washer. Incomplete earthing may cause electrical shock. The power supply MUST be clamped to the plastic bracket using field supplied clamp material to prevent external force being applied to the terminal. The green and yellow striped wire MUST be used for earthing only.

Electrical installation 1 Measure the insulation resistance over the poles. Then ≥1 MΩ Insulation resistance is OK. This procedure is finished. <1 MΩ Insulation resistance is not OK. Go to the next step. 2 Turn ON the power and leave it on for 6 hours. Result: The compressor will heat up and evaporate any refrigerant in the compressor.

Configuration a 7‑segment displays b Push buttons 20.2.3 To access the field setting components It is not required to open the complete electronic component box to access the push buttons on the PCB and read out the 7‑segment display(s). To access you can remove the front inspection cover of the front plate (see figure). Now you can open the inspection cover of the electrical component box front plate (see figure).
Configuration Stage Display When turning on the power supply: flashing as indicated. First checks on power supply are executed (1~2 min). When no trouble occurs: lighted as indicated (8~10 min). Ready for operation: blank display indication as indicated. 7‑segment display indications: Blinking In case of malfunction, the malfunction code is displayed on the indoor unit user interface and the outdoor unit 7‑segment display.
Configuration Example: Checking the content of parameter [1‑10] (to know how many indoor units are connected to the system). [A‑B]=C in this case defined as: A=1; B=10; C=the value we want to know/monitor: 1 Make sure the 7‑segment display indication is in the default situation (normal operation).

Configuration E.g., when your system is operating in cooling, you do not need as much cooling under low outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., 25°C) as under high outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., 35°C). Using this idea, the system automatically starts increasing its refrigerant temperature, automatically reducing the delivered capacity and increasing the system's efficiency.
Page 139
Configuration Powerful Overshoot (during heating operation) or undershoot (during cooling operation) is allowed compared to the requested refrigerant temperature, in order to achieve the required room temperature very fast. The overshoot is allowed from the start up moment. ▪ In case of cooling operation the evaporating temperature is allowed to go down to 3°C on temporary base depending on the situation.
Page 140
Configuration ▪ In case of heating operation the condense temperature is allowed to go up to 46°C on temporary base depending on the situation. ▪ When the request from the indoor units becomes more moderate, the system will eventually go to the steady state condition which is defined by the operation method above.

21 Commissioning NOTICE General commissioning checklist. Next to the commissioning instructions in this chapter, a general commissioning checklist is also available on the Daikin Business Portal (authentication required). The general commissioning checklist is complementary to the instructions in this chapter and can be used as a guideline and reporting template during the commissioning and hand-over to the user.
Commissioning CAUTION Do NOT insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air inlet or outlet. Do NOT remove the fan guard. When the fan is rotating at high speed, it will cause injury. NOTICE Test run is possible for ambient temperatures between – 2 0°C and 35°C. INFORMATION During the first running period of the unit, the required power may be higher than stated on the nameplate of the unit.
Commissioning Internal wiring Visually check the electrical component box and the inside of the unit for loose connections or damaged electrical components. Pipe size and pipe insulation Be sure that correct pipe sizes are installed and that the insulation work is properly executed.
Commissioning INFORMATION ▪ It may take 10 minutes to achieve a uniform refrigerant state before the compressor starts. ▪ During the test operation, the refrigerant running sound or the magnetic sound of a solenoid valve may become loud and the display indication may change. These are not malfunctions.
Commissioning Completion Description Abnormal completion Indication of malfunction code on the 7‑segment display. Refer to "21.6 Correcting after abnormal completion of the test run" [ 149] to take actions for correcting the abnormality. When the test operation is fully completed, normal operation will be possible after 5 minutes. 21.6 Correcting after abnormal completion of the test run The test operation is only completed if there is no malfunction code displayed on the user interface or outdoor unit 7‑segment display.
Hand-over to the user 22 Hand-over to the user Once the test run is finished and the unit operates properly, please make sure the following is clear for the user: ▪ Make sure that the user has the printed documentation and ask him/her to keep it for future reference.
Maintenance and service 23 Maintenance and service NOTICE Maintenance MUST be done by an authorized installer or service agent. We recommend performing maintenance at least once a year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter maintenance intervals. NOTICE Applicable legislation on fluorinated greenhouse gases requires that the refrigerant charge of the unit is indicated both in weight and CO equivalent.
Maintenance and service 5~12 HP 14~20 HP X6A (A6P) X5A (A3P) 3 Pull out junction connectors X1A, X2A for the fan motors in the outdoor unit before starting service operation on the inverter equipment. Be careful not to touch the live parts. (If a fan rotates due to strong wind, it may store electricity in the capacitor or in the main circuit and cause electric shock.) 4 After the service is finished, plug the junction connector back in.

Maintenance and service DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump down the system, and there is a leak in the refrigerant circuit: ▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function, with which you can collect all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit.
