Example: in the following procedure there are 22 units active:
11.5. Additional refrigerant charge
Follow the procedures below.
1
Procedure for additional refrigerant charge
The automatic refrigerant charging has limits as described
below.
At out of limit, the system can not operate the automatic
refrigerant charging.
Pre-charging
To speed up the proces of charging refrigerant for large systems, it is
recommended to first manually charge a portion of the refrigerant
first before performing automatic charging.
1
Calculate how much refrigerant to be added using the formula
explained in the chapter
"How to calculate the additional
refrigerant to be charged" on page 10
.
2
The amount of pre-charging is 10 kg less than the calculated
amount.
3
Open valve B (the valves A and C, the liquid pipe, the suction
gas pipe, the high pressure/low pressure gas pipe and the
equalizer pipe stop valves must be left closed) and charge the
refrigerant in liquid form via the liquid pipe stop valve service
port.
(See figure 24)
NOTE
Wherever during this procedure, press the
button if something becomes unclear.
You will return to setting mode 1 (H1P=
x
"OFF").

Calculate the number of connected indoor units by adding the values of
all (H2P~H7P) blinking (

) LEDs together.
In this example: 16+4+2=22 units
Press the

Adding refrigerant using the automatic refrigerant charging
function is recommended.
■
When charging a system, charging over the
permissible quantity can cause liquid hammer.
■
Always use protective gloves and protect your eyes
when charging refrigerant.
■
When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or
when pausing, close the valve of the refrigerant tank
immediately.
-
The refrigerant charge port has a electric
expansion valve and will be closed at the end of
the refrigerant charging. However, the valve will be
opened when operating the unit after refrigerant
charging.
-
If the tank is left with the valve open, the amount of
refrigerant which is properly charged may get off
point. More refrigerant may be charged by any
remaining pressure after the unit has stopped.

■
Close the electric box lid before turning on the main
power.
■
Perform the settings on the circuit board (A1P) of the
outdoor unit and check the LED display after the
power is on via the service lid which is in the lid of the
electric box.
Operate switches with an insulated
stick (such as a ball-point pen) to
avoid touching the life parts.
Make sure to re-attach the
inspection cover into the switch box cover after the job
is finished.
■
If the power of some units is turned off, the charging
procedure can not be finished properly.
■
In case of a multiple outdoor system, turn on the
power of all outdoor units.
■
Make sure to turn ON the power 6 hours before
starting the operation. This is necessary to warm the
crankcase by the electric heater.
■
If operation is performed within 12 minutes after the
indoor, BS unit and outdoor units are turned on, the
H2P-LED will be lit and the compressor will not
operate.
NOTE
■
See
"11.3. Stop valve operation procedure" on
page 18
for details on how to handle stop valves.
■
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.
