6.6.5

To determine the complete recharge
amount

INFORMATION

If  a  complete  recharge  is  necessary,  the  total  refrigerant
charge  is:  the  factory  refrigerant  charge  (see  unit  name
plate) + the determined additional amount.

6.6.6

To charge additional refrigerant

WARNING

▪ Only  use  R32  as  refrigerant.  Other  substances  may

cause explosions and accidents.

▪ R32  contains  fluorinated  greenhouse  gases.  Its  global

warming  potential  (GWP)  value  is  675.  Do  NOT  vent
these gases into the atmosphere.

▪ When  charging  refrigerant,  ALWAYS  use  protective

gloves and safety glasses.

CAUTION

To  avoid  compressor  breakdown,  do  NOT  charge  more
than the specified amount of refrigerant.

Prerequisite: 

Before charging refrigerant, make sure the refrigerant

piping is connected and checked (leak test and vacuum drying).

1

Connect  the  refrigerant  cylinder  to  both  the  service  port  of  the
gas stop valve and the service port of the liquid stop valve.

2

Charge the additional refrigerant amount.

3

Open the stop valves.

If  pump  down  is  needed  in  case  of  dismantling  or  relocating  the
system, see 

"11.2 To pump down" on page 22

 for more details.

NOTICE

In  Europe,  the 

greenhouse  gas  emissions

  of  the  total

refrigerant  charge  in  the  system  (expressed  as  tonnes
CO

-equivalent)  is  used  to  determine  the  maintenance

intervals. Follow the applicable legislation.

Formula  to  calculate  the  greenhouse  gas  emissions:

GWP value of the refrigerant × Total refrigerant charge [in
kg] / 1000

Fix the label on the inside of the outdoor unit near the gas and
liquid stop valves.

Connecting the electrical wiring

6.7.1

About connecting the electrical wiring

Typical workflow

Connecting  the  electrical  wiring  typically  consists  of  the  following
stages:

1

Making  sure  the  power  supply  system  complies  with  the
electrical specifications of the units.

2

Connecting the electrical wiring to the outdoor unit.

3

Connecting the electrical wiring to the indoor unit.

4

Connecting the main power supply.

6.7.2

Precautions when connecting the
electrical wiring

INFORMATION

Also  read  the  precautions  and  requirements  in  the
following chapters:

▪ General safety precautions

▪ Preparation

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

WARNING

ALWAYS use multicore cable for power supply cables.

WARNING

If the supply cord is damaged, it MUST be replaced by the
manufacturer,  its  service  agent  or  similarly  qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING

Do NOT connect the power supply to the indoor unit. This
could result in electrical shock or fire.

WARNING

▪ Do  NOT  use  locally  purchased  electrical  parts  inside

the product.

▪ Do  NOT  branch  the  power  supply  for  the  drain  pump,

etc.  from  the  terminal  block.  This  could  result  in
electrical shock or fire.

WARNING

Keep  the  interconnection  wiring  away  from  copper  pipes
without thermal insulation as such pipes will be very hot.

6.7.3

Guidelines when connecting the electrical
wiring

Keep the following in mind:

▪ If  stranded  conductor  wires  are  used,  install  a  round  crimp-style

terminal  on  the  end  of  the  wire.  Place  the  round  crimp-style
terminal on the wire up to the covered part and fasten the terminal
with the appropriate tool.
