not be isolated from the low side of the system in which case the entire system shall be pressure tested to the low side design pressure. b. The test pressure after removal of pressure source shall be maintained for at least 1 h with no decrease of pressure indicated by the test gauge, with test gauge resolution not exceeding 5% of the test pressure.

NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are - bubble method, - fluorescent method agents. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut o valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak.
Explanation of symbols displayed on the indoor unit or outdoor unit This symbol shows that this appliance used a flammable refrigerant. If the refrigerant is leaked and exposed to an WARNING external ignition source, there is a risk of fire. This symbol shows that the operation manual should be CAUTION read carefully.
