8.4 Installation for the first time

Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as below:
● Pressure in the system rises.
● Operating current rises.
● Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
● Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
● Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system.
Therefore, the indoor units and the pipes between indoor and outdoor units must be leak tested and
evacuated to remove gas and moisture from the system.
Gas leak check (Soap water method):
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connections or outdoor unit
connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points of the piping. If bubbles come out,
the pipes have leakage.

1) Completely tighten the flare nuts of the indoor and outdoor units, confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way
valves are set to the closed position.
2) Connect the charge hose with the push pin of handle lo to the 3-way valves gas service port..
3) Connect the charge hose of handle hi connection to the vacuum pump.
4) Fully open the handle Lo of the manifold valve.
5) Operate the vacuum pump to evacuate.
6) Make evacuation for 30 minutes and check whether the compound meter indicates -0.1Mpa. If
the meter does not indicate -0.1Mpa after pumping 30 minutes, it should be pumped 20 minutes more. If the
pressure can’t achieve -0.1Mpa after pumping 50 minutes, please check if there are some leakage points.
Fully close the handle Lo valve of the manifold valve and stop the operation of the vacuum pump. Confirm
that the gauge needle does not move (approximately 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum pump).
7) Turn the flare nut of the 3-way valves about 45° counterclockwise for 6 or 7seconds after the gas
coming out, then tighten the flare nut again. Make sure the pressure display in the pressure indicator is a
little higher than the atmosphere pressure. Then remove the charge hose from the 3 way valve.
8) Fully open the 2 way valve and 3 way valve and securely tighten the cap of the 3 way valve.

2. Adding the refrigerant if the pipe length >5m

Electronic scale

Procedure:
1). Connect the charge hose to the charging cylinder, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.

Connect the charge hose which you disconnected from the vacuum pump to the valve at the bottom of the
cylinder. If the refrigerant is R410A, make the cylinder bottom up to ensure the liquid charge.

2). Purge the air from the charge hose.

Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and press the check valve on the charge set to purge the air (be
careful of the liquid refrigerant).

3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic scale and record the weight.

4) Operate the air conditioner at the cooling mode.

5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
6).When the electronic scale displays the proper weight (refer to the table), disconnect the charge hose from
the 3-way valve’s service port immediately and turn off the air conditioner before disconnecting the hose.
7). Mount the valve stem caps and the service port

Use torque wrench to tighten the service port cap to a torque of 18N.m.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.

20
8.5 Adding the refrigerant after running the system for many years

Electronic scale

Procedure:

1). Connect the charge hose to the 3-way service port, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.

Connect the charge hose to the valve at the bottom of the cylinder. If the refrigerant is R410A, make the
cylinder bottom up to ensure liquid charge.

2). Purge the air from the charge hose.

Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and press the check valve on the charge set to purge the air (be
careful of the liquid refrigerant).

3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic scale and record the weight.

4) Operate the air conditioner at the cooling mode.

5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
6).When the electronic scale displays the proper weight (refer to the gauge and the pressure of the low side),
disconnect the charge hose from the 3-way valve’s service port immediately and turn off the air conditioner
before disconnecting the hose.
7). Mount the valve stem caps and the service port

Use torque wrench to tighten the service port cap to a torque of 18N.m.

Be sure to check for gas leakage.

21
8.6 Re-installation while the indoor unit need to be repaired
1. Collecting the refrigerant into the outdoor unit

Procedure

1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the opened position
Remove the valve stem caps and confirm that the valve stems are in the opened position.
Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate the valve stems.
2). Connect the charge hose with the push pin of handle lo to the 3-way valves gas service port.
3). Air purging of the charge hose.
Open the handle Lo valve of the manifold valve slightly to purge air from the charge hose for 5 seconds and
then close it quickly.
4). Set the 2-way valve to the close position.
5). Operate the air conditioner at the cooling cycle and stop it when the gauge indicates 0.1MPa.
6). Set the 3-way valve to the closed position immediately
Do this quickly so that the gauge ends up indicating 0.3 to 0.5Mpa.
Disconnect the charge set, and tighten the 2-way and 3-way valve’s stem nuts.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the 3-way valves service port cap to a torque of 1.8 kgf.m.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.

8.7 Re-installation while the outdoor unit need to be repaired
1. Evacuation for the whole system

Procedure:

1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the opened position.

2). Connect the vacuum pump to 3-way valve’s service port.

3). Evacuation for approximately one hour. Confirm that the compound meter indicates -0.1Mpa.
4). Close the valve (Low side) on the charge set, turn off the vacuum pump, and confirm that the gauge
needle does not move (approximately 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum pump).
5). Disconnect the charge hose from the vacuum pump.

24
2. Refrigerant charging

Procedure:
1). Connect the charge hose to the charging cylinder, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve
Connect the charge hose which you disconnected from the vacuum pump to the valve at the bottom of the
cylinder. Make the cylinder bottom up to ensure liquid charge.
2). Purge the air from the charge hose

Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and press the check valve on the charge set to purge the air (be
careful of the liquid refrigerant).

3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic scale and record the weight.

4). Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with liquid refrigerant
If the system cannot be charge with the specified amount of refrigerant, or can be charged with a little at a
time (approximately 150g each time) , operating the air conditioner in the cooling cycle; however, one time is
not sufficient, wait approximately 1 minute and then repeat the procedure.
5).When the electronic scale displays the proper weight, disconnect the charge hose from the 3-way valve’s
service port immediately

If the system has been charged with liquid refrigerant while operating the air conditioner, turn off the air
conditioner before disconnecting the hose.

6). Mounted the valve stem caps and the service port

Use torque wrench to tighten the service port cap to a torque of 18N.m.

Be sure to check for gas leakage

9.5.5 Indoor / outdoor units communication protection
If the indoor units cannot receive the feedback signal from the outdoor units for 2 minutes, or If the outdoor
units cannot receive the feedback signal from any of the indoor units for 3 minutes, the unit ceases
operation and displays the failure.

9.5.7 Outdoor unit anti-freezing protection

When T2<4℃ for 250 seconds or T2<0℃, the indoor unit capacity demand will be zero and resume to
normal when T2>8℃ and the time of protection is no less than 3 minutes.

9.5.8 Oil return

Running rules:
1. If the compressor frequency keeps lower than setting frequency for setting time, the AC rises the
frequency to setting frequency for setting time and then resume to former frequency.
2. The EXV will keep 300p while the indoor units will keep the current running mode.
If the outdoor ambient is higher than setting frequency during the oil return, the AC quit oil return.

9.5.9 Low outdoor ambient temperature protection

When compressor is off, T4 is be lower than -35℃.for 10s, the AC will stop and display “LP”.
When compressor is on, T4 is be lower than -40℃.for 10s, the AC will stop and display “LP”.
When T4 is no lower than -32℃.for 10s, the unit will exit protection.
