INFORMATION
If the total additional refrigerant amount was reached in
step 4 (by pre-charging only), record the amount of
refrigerant that was added on the additional refrigerant
charge label provided with the unit and attach it on the
back side of the front panel.

After pre-charging, connect valve A to the refrigerant charge
port and charge the remaining additional refrigerant through this
port. Open all outdoor unit stop valves. At this point, valve A
must remain closed!

INFORMATION
For a multi outdoor unit system, it is not required to
connect all charge ports to a refrigerant tank.
The refrigerant will be charged with ±22 kg in 1 hour time
at an outdoor temperature of 30°C DB or with ±6 kg at an
outdoor temperature of 0°C DB.
If you need to speed up in case of a multiple outdoor
system, connect the refrigerant tanks to each outdoor unit.
NOTICE
▪ The refrigerant charging port is connected to the piping
inside the unit. The unit's internal piping is already
factory charged with refrigerant, so be careful when
connecting the charge hose.
▪ After adding the refrigerant, do not forget to close the
lid of the refrigerant charging port. The tightening
torque for the lid is 11.5 to 13.9 N•m.
▪ In order to ensure uniform refrigerant distribution, it
may take the compressor ±10 minutes to start up after
the unit has started operation. This is not a malfunction.
The remaining additional refrigerant charge can be charged by
operating the outdoor unit by means of the manual refrigerant
charge operation mode:
6
Take all the precautions mentioned in
7
Turn on the power of the indoor units and outdoor unit.
8
Activate outdoor unit setting [2‑20]=1 to start manual refrigerant
charge mode. Refer to
"7.2.8 Mode 2: Field settings" on
Result:
The unit will start operation.
9
Valve A can be opened. Charging of remaining additional
refrigerant can be done.
10
When the remaining calculated additional refrigerant amount is
added, close valve A and push BS3 to stop the manual
refrigerant charging procedure.
INFORMATION
The manual refrigerant charge operation will automatically
stop within 30 minutes. If charging is not completed after
30 minutes, perform the additional refrigerant charging
operation again.

procedure
as

in
.
INFORMATION
After charging refrigerant:
▪ Record the additional refrigerant amount on the
refrigerant label provided with the unit and attach it to
the backside of the front panel.
▪ Perform
the
test
procedure
described
in
.
INFORMATION
Aborting the manual refrigerant charge is possible by
pushing BS3. The unit will stop and return to idle condition.
6.7.5
Checks after charging refrigerant
▪ Are all stop valves open?
▪ Is the amount of refrigerant, that has been added, recorded on the
refrigerant charge label?
NOTICE
Make sure to open all stop valves after (pre-) charging the
refrigerant.
Operating with the stop valves closed will damage the
compressor.

NOTICE
In Europe, the
greenhouse gas emissions

-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.
