R32 split series
4P513661-6B – 2018.05
WARNING
▪ Do NOT pierce or burn refrigerant cycle parts.
▪ Do NOT use cleaning materials or means to accelerate
the defrosting process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that the refrigerant inside the system is
odourless.
WARNING
The refrigerant inside the unit is mildly flammable, but
normally does NOT leak. If the refrigerant leaks in the
room and comes in contact with fire from a burner, a
heater, or a cooker, this may result in fire, or the formation
of a harmful gas.
Turn off any combustible heating devices, ventilate the
room, and contact the dealer where you purchased the
unit.
Do NOT use the unit until a service person confirms that
the part from which the refrigerant leaked has been
repaired.
6.6.3
Precautions when charging refrigerant
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
following chapters:
▪ General safety precautions
▪ Preparation
6.6.4
To determine the additional refrigerant
amount
If the total liquid
piping length is…
Then…
≤10 m
Do NOT add additional refrigerant.
>10 m
R=(total length (m) of liquid
piping–10 m)×0.020
R=Additional charge (kg) (rounded in units
of 0.1 kg)
INFORMATION
Piping length is the one-way length of liquid piping.
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 the service port.
2
Charge the additional refrigerant amount.
3
Open the gas stop valve.
If pump down is needed in case of dismantling or relocating the
system, see
"12.2 To pump down" on page 23
for more details.

NOTICE
In Europe, the
greenhouse gas emissions
of the total
refrigerant charge in the system (expressed as tonnes CO
2
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.
6.7
Connecting the electrical wiring
6.7.1
About connecting the electrical wiring
Before connecting the electrical wiring
Make sure:
▪ The refrigerant piping is connected and checked
▪ The water piping is connected
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.
