10. REFRIGERANT REPLENISHMENT

For refrigerant filling contractor

Only use refrigerant R410A.
The R410A refrigerant cylinder is painted with a pink belt.

WARNING

• Use protective gear (e.g., protective gloves and glasses) at the 

time of refrigerant filling.

• Pay attention to the rotation of the fan whenever the front panel is 

opened while working.
The fan can rotate continuously for a while after the outdoor unit 
stops operating.

[Refrigerant replenishment work]

How to calculate the additional refrigerant to be charged.
Enter the blanks in the table below:

CAUTION

• The total maximum refrigerant charge of a Multi-ZEAS system 

must be less than 100 kg, this to be in accordance with CE 
requirements (EN603350-2-40 standard). This means that in case 
the calculated total refrigerant charge is equal to or more than 
95 kg you must divide your multiple outdoor system into smaller 
independent systems, each containing less than 95 kg refrigerant 
charge.

• Refer to the 

"Operation Method of Shutoff Valves" on page 9

 for the 

control method of the shutoff valves.

• Never replenish liquid refrigerant directly from a gas line. Liquid 

compression and overheating may cause the compressor to fail.

1. The refrigerant must be noted for this product. Calculate the amount 

of refrigerant replenishment according to the label for the calcula-
tion of the amount of refrigerant replenishment.

2. Take the following procedure for refrigerant replenishment.

Refer to 

"8-1 Airtight test/refrigerant oil charging/vacuum drying" 

on page 16

 for the connection of the refrigerant cylinder.

3. Turn on the indoor unit and control panel.

Do not turn on the outdoor unit.

4. Replenish refrigerant from the service port of the shutoff valve on 

the liquid side.

5. If the refrigerant is charged while the compressor is running, set 

the target evaporating temperature to 

–25°C. Make sure the 

master unit is properly designated. Refer to 

"11. FIELD 

SETTINGS" on page 20

.

6. If the calculated amount of refrigerant cannot be filled, take the 

following steps to operate the system and continue refrigerant 
replenishment.
a. Open the gas shutoff valve all the way and adjust the opening of 

the liquid shutoff valve (*1).

b.

[Warning/electric shock warning]

Turn on the outdoor unit.

c.

[Warning/electric shock warning]

Turn on the operation switch of the outdoor unit and replenish 
refrigerant while the outdoor unit is in operation.

d.Turn off the operation switch of the outdoor unit after the speci-

fied amount of refrigerant is replenished. (To prevent liquid 
compression)

e.

[Caution]

 

Fully open the shutoff valves on the gas and liquid sides 
promptly. Otherwise, a piping explosion may result from liquid 
sealing.

*1The cylinder’s internal pressure will drop when there is little 

refrigerant remaining in the cylinder, making it impossible to charge 
the unit, even if the liquid shutoff valve opening is adjusted. In this 
situation, replace the cylinder with one that has more refrigerant 
remaining.
Additionally, if the piping length is long, replenishing while the liquid 
shutoff valve is fully closed may lead to activation of the protection 
system, causing the unit to stop operation.

7. After the work is completed, apply a screw lock agent (for flare 

nuts) to the screws of the shutoff valves and service ports. Refer to 
the 

"Handling precautions for valve cover" on page 10

 and 

"Handling Precautions for Service Port" on page 10

 in 

"6-

4 Connecting the refrigerant piping" on page 8

 for the handling of 

the valve covers and service ports.

8. After the refrigerant replenishment is completed, fill out the item 

“total amount of refrigerant replenishment” on the label of 
instructions on refrigerant replenishment of the outdoor unit with 
the actual amount of refrigerant replenishment.
Refer to the illustration of the label pasting position for instructions 
on refrigerant replenishment (see the illustration on the above).
