Air Evacuation Preparations and Precautions Air and foreign matter in the refrigerant circuit can cause abnormal rises in pressure, which can damage the air conditioner, reduce its efficiency, and cause injury. Use a vacuum pump and manifold gauge to evacuate the refrigerant circuit, removing any non-condensable gas and moisture from the system.
● Close the vacuum pump and wait for 5 minutes to ensure there has been no change in system pressure. If the pressure decreases there may be leakage, please refer to the Gas Leak Check section. ● Remove the manifold gauge, open the valve core of the liquid valve and gas valve completely by turning clockwise with a hexagonal allen wrench.
2. Check for Electrical Leakage During the Test Run, use an electroprobe and multimeter to perform a comprehensive electrical leakage test. If electrical leakage is detected, turn off the unit immediately and call a licensed electrician to find and resolve the cause of the leakage. Note: This may not be required for some locations in the US.
