Label the refrigerant piping (injection and suc- tion pipes) as well as the associated electrical control lines of each interior unit with a letter. Only connect the lines to their associated con- nections. NOTICE! Always pay attention to the affiliation of the electrical lines and refrigerant piping! The con- nections of the individual circuits must not be mixed up.
REMKO SKT series NOTICE! A vacuum of at least 20 mbar must be pro- duced! The time required to generate the vacuum is dependent on the final pressure pipe volume of the indoor units and the length of the refrigerant piping.
