Pre‑charge refrigerant until the determined additional refrigerant
amount is reached or pre‑charging is not possible anymore, and
then close valves C and B.
4
Do one of the following:
If
Then
The determined additional
refrigerant amount is
reached
Disconnect the manifold from
the liquid line.
You do not have to perform the
"Charging refrigerant (in
manual additional refrigerant
charge mode)" instructions.
Too much
refrigerant is
charged
Recover refrigerant.
Disconnect the manifold from
the liquid line.
You do not have to perform the
"Charging refrigerant (in

Charging refrigerant (in manual additional refrigerant charge
mode)
The remaining additional refrigerant charge can be charged by
operating the outdoor unit by means of the manual additional
refrigerant charge mode.

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.
6
Open all outdoor unit stop valves. At this point, valve A must
remain closed!
7
Take all the precautions mentioned in
and
37] into account.
8
Turn on the power of the indoor units and outdoor unit.
9
Activate setting [2‑20] to start the manual additional refrigerant
charge mode. For details, see
37].
Result:
The unit will start operation.
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.
INFORMATION
▪ When a malfunction is detected during the procedure
(e.g., in case of closed stop valve), a malfunction code
will be displayed. In that case, refer to
codes when charging refrigerant"
30] and solve the
malfunction accordingly. Resetting the malfunction can
be done by pushing BS3. You can restart the
"Charging" instructions.
▪ Aborting the manual refrigerant charge is possible by
pushing BS3. The unit will stop and return to idle
condition.
10
Open valve A.
11
Charge refrigerant until the remaining determined additional
refrigerant amount is added, and then close valve A.
12
Press BS3 to stop the manual additional refrigerant charge
mode.
NOTICE
Make sure to open all stop valves after (pre-) charging the
refrigerant.
Operating with the stop valves closed will damage the
compressor.
NOTICE
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.
14.4
Error codes when charging
refrigerant
INFORMATION
If a malfunction occurs, the error code is displayed on the
outdoor unit's 7‑segments display and on the user interface
of the indoor unit.
If a malfunction occurs, close valve A immediately. Confirm the
malfunction code and take corresponding action,
problems based on error codes"
