Warning
5. Test Operation
5.1 Checks before Test Operation
Before carrying out a test operation, proceed as follows:
When a power supply is switched ON, when you leave from the outdoor unit, be sure to close
the cover plate.
(It becomes the cause of an electric shock.)
5.2 Test Operation
After the indoor and outdoor unit installation, be sure to perform the test operation in
accordance with the following procedure.
1. Open the stop valve cover and check that the liquid and gas sides of the stop valves are
open.
<Be sure to close the front plate before the operation (there is a risk of electric shock)>
After doing an air-purge with a vacuum pump, the refrigerant pressure may not rise even if
the stop valves are opened. This is because the refrigerant piping path is closed off by the
outdoor unit electronic expansion valve, etc. There are no problems if the unit is run.
2. Attach the stop valve cover to the outdoor unit and turn the power on at least 6 hours before
operating the outdoor unit to protect the compressor.
3. Set up a cooling operation.
4. Perform the test operation.
5. Operate normally.
6. Confirm function of the indoor and outdoor units according to the operation manual.
ITEM TO CHECK
Power supply
wiring
Is the wiring as mentioned on the wiring diagram?
Make sure no wiring has been forgotten and that there are no missing phases or
reverse phases.
Does wiring between units put in and changed in continuation installation?
Is the unit properly grounded?
Are any of the wiring attachment screws loose?
Is the insulation resistance at least 1 M
?
Use a 500 V Megger tester when measuring insulation.
Do not use a Megger tester for circuits which except 230 V.
Is an earth leakage circuit breaker used a current operated type which is compatible to
the higher harmonic wave?
Does the earth leakage circuit breaker have appropriate rated current?
Refrigerant
piping
Is the size of the piping appropriate?
Is the insulation material for the piping attached securely?
Are both the liquid and gas pipes insulated?
Are the stop valves for both the liquid side and the gas side open?
Extra
refrigerant
Did you write down the extra refrigerant and the refrigerant piping length?
Indoor unit
Is the indoor unit fully installed?
When the test operation is started, the fan automatically begins turning.
