<Calculation>
When there are 3 outdoor units (AJ*144LALDH, AJ*126LALDH, AJ*108LALDH)
connected to 1 system.
(1) Calculation of additional amount for outdoor unit.
A = 3.30 (kg) + 3.30 (kg) + 3.30 (kg) = 9.90 (kg)
(2) Calculation of additional amount for pipe length.
If liquid pipe piping length is the following.
ø19.05: 50 m, ø15.88: 25 m, ø12.70: 0 m, ø9.52: 20 m, ø6.53: 15 m
Additional charge volume
B = 50 (m) × 0.268 (kg/m) + 25 (m) × 0.178 (kg/m)
+ 0 (m) × 0.114 (kg/m) + 20 (m) × 0.058 (kg/m)
+ 15 (m) × 0.021 (kg/m)
= 19.325 kg
(3) Calculation of additional charge refrigerant
C = A + B = 9.90 (kg) + 19.33 (kg) = 29.23 (kg)
(4) Calculation of factory charged amount
D = 11.8 (kg) + 11.8 (kg) + 11.8 (kg) = 35.4 (kg)
(5) Check the total amount of refrigerant
When 3 outdoor units are connected to 1 system, the following condition must be
satisfied.
Condition: E = C + D ≤ 94.5 (kg)
Calculation: 29.23 (kg) + 35.4 (kg) = 64.63 (kg) < 94.5 (kg)
→ No problem if the above condition is satisfied.
8.3. Installing insulation
• Install insulation material after conducting
the "8.1 Sealing test".
• To prevent condensation and water
droplets, install insulation material on the
refrigerant pipe.
• Refer to the table to determine the thick-
ness of the insulation material.
• If the outdoor unit is installed at a level
that is higher than the indoor unit, the
water that has condensed in the 3-way
valve of the outdoor unit could travel to the
indoor unit.
Therefore, use putty in the space between
the pipe and the insulation to prevent the
entry of water.

9. TEST RUN
9.1. Pre-check for test run
Before the test operation, check the following items.
(1) Is there a gas leakage? (At pipe connections {flange connections and brazed areas})
(2) Is the system charged with the specified volume of refrigerant?
(3) Is the refrigerant circuit address correct?
(4) Is a breaker installed at the power supply cable of outdoor unit?
(5) Are the cable connected to the terminals without looseness, and in accordance with
the specifications?
(6) Are the initial settings of the switches of the outdoor unit correctly configured?
(7) Is the 3-way valve of the outdoor unit open? (Gas pipe and liquid pipe)
(8) Is power supplied to the crank case heater for more than 12 hours? Electricity current
in short period of time may result in compressor damage.
(9) Are all the indoor units within the same coolant system connected to the power? Op-
erating indoor units which are not connected to the power may result in malfunctions.
(10) Is Indoor unit connection check performed? Test run doesn't operate if Indoor unit
connection check is not performed.
After checking that the above items are all in order, refer to
"9.2. Test run method" to test operation the unit.
If there are problems, adjust immediately and recheck.

9.2. Test run method
Be sure to configure test run settings only when the outdoor unit has stopped
operating.
• Depending on the communication status between the indoor and outdoor units, it may
take several minutes for the system to start operating after settings for the test run are
complete.
• After the test run settings are complete, the outdoor unit and the connected indoor
units will start operating. Room temperature control will not activate during test opera-
tion (continuous operation).
• If a knocking sound can be heard in the liquid compression of the compressor, stop
the unit immediately and then energize the crank case heater for a sufficient length of
time before restarting the operation.
Perform test operation for each refrigerant system.
You can set "cooling test operation" or "heating test operation" with the push button on the
outdoor unit PC board.
Test operation setting method
Use the "MODE/EXIT", "SELECT", and "ENTER" buttons on the indoor unit PC board to
configure settings according to the procedures below.

Press the "ENTER" button for
more than 3 seconds.

EXIT
After the test operation is complete, turn off the power. Attach the cover of the electrical
component box and the front panel of the outdoor unit.
NOTES:
• Check that the indoor and outdoor units connected to the same refrigerant system are
operating normally.
• When indoor or outdoor units are not operating, or when the indoor and outdoor units
of other refrigerant systems are operating, the indoor/outdoor unit address are not
configured correctly.
• The system will not operate normally with an incorrect DIP switch setting.
Stop the system immediately and recheck the DIP switch setting.
Set to Function mode [F3].
(When [F4] to [F9] are displayed, continue to press
the "SELECT" button until [F3] is displayed.)
Settings for starting test run
operation
For heating operation, press the "SELECT"
button until "01" is displayed.
Press the "ENTER" button for
more than 3 seconds.
This will be displayed
when the cooling test
operation is complete.
This will be displayed after 5 seconds.
Settings for stopping test run
operation
Press the "ENTER" button for more than 3 seconds.
This will be displayed when the cooling operation mode is
canceled.
This will be displayed after 5 seconds.
