Refrigerant recover
If it becomes necessary to disconnect the refrigerant connec-
tions for unit repair, removal or disposal, in order to avoid re-
frigerant loss to the atmosphere, the pump down operation
must be carried out.
Pump-down is an operation intended to collect all the system
refrigerant in the outdoor unit:
1. unscrew the caps of the 3-way valve outlets.
2. Set the unit in cooling mode through parameter 17.8.5 on
the remote control (check compressor works) and leave on
for a few minutes.
3. connect the manometer.
4. close the smaller valve.
5. When the pressure gauge indicates «0» also close the other
valve and switch off immediately.
6. close the valve caps.
After disconnection, protect valves and tubing ends from dust.
After refrigerant recover operation, the outdoor unit is in Hard
Fault status (Recovery is done with the parameter 17.17 Service
Reset).

HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS ON INDOOR MODULE
Before carrying out the water circuit connections, check that:
• the system has been cleaned
• there are no impurities in the circuit water
• compatible components are used (do not connect copper and steel to each other)
• the system has been hooked up via the water circuit
• the water is never harder than 20°F (11,2 °dH) or softer than 12°F (6,7 °dH), and that its pH is 6.6 to 8.5. If this is not the case, install
water treatment to prevent incrustations and corrosion in system.
• the water circuit pressure never exceeds 5 bar, otherwise install a pressure reducer at the system's intake
• a disconnector with cock is installed between the system and the domestic water circuit (if present)
• the supplied expansion vessel is large enough to handle the water in the system
After the check:
• Connect the heating system to the internal unit where indicated from the points A and B in the next figure. Pay attention to the flow
directions.
• Connect the pipes to fill the installation.
• Connect the safety valve and the discharge valve of the internal unit with the provided silicone pipe.
