9. Test run
9.1. Before test run
After completing installation and the wiring and piping of the indoor and outdoor
units, check for refrigerant leakage, looseness in the power supply or control
wiring, wrong polarity, and no disconnection of one phase in the supply.
Use a 500-volt megohmmeter to check that the resistance between the power
supply terminals and ground is at least 1.0 MΩ Ω Ω Ω Ω .
Do not carry out this test on the control wiring (low voltage circuit) termi-
nals.
Warning:
Do not use the air conditioner if the insulation resistance is less than 1.0 MΩ Ω Ω Ω Ω .
Insulation resistance
After installation or after the power source to the unit has been cut for an extended
period, the insulation resistance will drop below 1 MΩ due to refrigerant accumulat-
ing in the compressor. This is not a malfunction. Perform the following procedures.
1. Remove the wires from the compressor and measure the insulation resistance of
the compressor.
2. If the insulation resistance is below 1 MΩ, the compressor is faulty or the resist-
ance dropped due the accumulation of refrigerant in the compressor.
3. After connecting the wires to the compressor, the compressor will start to warm
up after power is supplied. After supplying power for the times indicated below,
measure the insulation resistance again.
• The insulation resistance drops due to accumulation of refrigerant in the com-
pressor. The resistance will rise above 1 MΩ after the compressor is warmed
up for two to three hours.
(The time necessary to warm up the compressor varies according to atmos-
pheric conditions and refrigerant accumulation.)
• To operate the compressor with refrigerant accumulated in the compressor,
the compressor must be warmed up at least 12 hours to prevent breakdown.
4. If the insulation resistance rises above 1 MΩ, the compressor is not faulty.
Caution:
• The compressor will not operate unless the power supply phase connection
is correct.
• Turn on the power at least 12 hours before starting operation.
- Starting operation immediately after turning on the main power switch can result in
severe damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch turned on during the op-
erational season.

9.2. Test run
9.2.1. Using wired remote controller
1 Turn on the power at least 12 hours before the test run.
2 Press the [TEST] button twice. ➡ "TEST RUN" liquid crystal display
3 Press the [Mode selection] button. ➡ Make sure that wind is blown out.
4 Press the [Mode selection] button and switch to the cooling (or heating) mode.
➡ Make sure that cold (or warm) wind is blown out.
5 Press the [Fan speed] button. ➡ Make sure that the wind speed is switched.
