Additional refrigerant charge procedure (2)-by Additional refrig-
erant charge operation

About the system settings for additional refrigerant charge operation, 
refer to the [Service Precaution] label attached on the electric box 
cover in the outside unit.

1.

Fully open all shutoff valves (valve A and valve B in the figure 
24 must be left fully closed).

2.

After ten minutes, fully close liquid line shutoff valve and then, 
open the valve by turning 180°.
Start the additional refrigerant charge operation.
See [Service precautions] Label for detail.
If it is difficult to charge the refrigerant additionally, decrease 
the water temperature or warm the refrigerant tank.
(Warm the refrigerant tank with a stupe or a warm hot water of 
40 degrees or less.)

3.

After the system is charged with a specified amount of refrigerant, 
press the RETURN button (BS3) on the PC board (A1P) in the 
outside unit to stop the additional refrigerant charge operation.

4.

Immediately open both liquid-side and gas-side shutoff valve.
(If do not open the shutoff valve immediately, liquid seal may 
cause the pipe to burst.)

Note

Procedures for charging additional refrigerant.

(Refer to figure 24)

9-10 Shutoff valve operation procedure

Caution

Do not open the shutoff valve until 1-6 of “9-8 Checking of device 
and installation conditions” are completed. If the shutoff valve is 
left open without turning on power, it may cause refrigerant to 
buildup in the compressor, leading to insulation degradation.

Opening shutoff valve

1.

Remove the cap and turn the valve counterclockwise with the 
hexagon wrench (JISB4648).

2.

Turn it until the shaft stops.
Do not apply excessive force to the shutoff valve. Doing so may 
break the valve body, as the valve is not a backseat type. Always 
use the hexagon wrench.

3.

Make sure to tighten the cap securely.

Closing shutoff valve

1.

Remove the cap and turn the valve clockwise with the hexagon 
wrench (JISB4648).

2.

Securely tighten the valve until the shaft contacts the main body 
seal.

3.

Make sure to tighten the cap securely.

∗ 

For the tightening torque, refer to the table on the bellow.

Caution

• Do not damage the cap sealing.
• Always use a charge hose for service port connection.
• After tightening the cap, check that no refrigerant leaks are present.
• After working, securely tighten the cover of service port without 

fail by specified torque.

• When loosening a flare nut, always use two wrenches in combi-

nation. When connecting the piping, always use a spanner and 
torque wrench in combination to tighten the flare nut.

• When connecting a flare nut, coat the flare (inner and outer faces) 

with ether oil or ester oil and hand-tighten the nut 3 to 4 turns as 
the initial tightening.

• Do not forget to open the stop valve before starting operation.

 

(Refer to figure 26)

1.

Remove the cap and turn the valve counter clocwise with 
the hexagon wrenches until it stops.

Never remove the partition flange for any reason.

6.

10. CHECKS AFTER INSTALLATION

After the installation, check the following.

1.

The shutoff valve
Make sure that the shutoff valve (both liquid and gas) is opened.
See the “

Shutoff valve operation procedure

” in chapter 9-10.

2.

Additional refrigerant charge
The amount of refrigerant to be added to the unit should be written 
on the included “Added Refrigerant” plate and attached to the rear 
side of the front cover.

3.

Installation date
Be sure to keep record of the installation date on the sticker on the 
EL. COMPO. BOX cover according to EN60335-2-40.

11. TEST RUN

Caution

After completing installation, be sure to open the shutoff valve. 
(Operating the unit with the valve shut will break the compressor.)

11-1 Air discharge

• Running the heat source water pump, carry out air discharge 

process until the water comes out from the air discharge hole of 
local piping.
(For the operation to be done for the first time after installation, 
you need to perform a checking operation.)

11-2 Before turn on the power supply

• Close the EL. COMPO. BOX cover securely before turning on power.
• Make settings for outside unit PC board (A1P) after power-on and 

check the LED display from inspection door that is on the 
EL. COMPO. BOX cover.

11-3 Check operation

(For the operation to be done for the first time after installation, 
you need to perform a checking operation according to this guideline 
without fail. Otherwise, Abnormal Code “U3” appears and normal 
operation cannot be carried out.)

(1)Check the connection of interlock circuit

The outside unit cannot be operated if the 
interlock circuit has not been connected.

(2)As necessary, configure the system set-

tings onsite by using the dipswitch (DS1) 
and push button switches (BS1 to 5) on the 

outside unit PC board (A1P).

After this, close the cover of electrical box.

Always perform configuration after turning 

ON the power. To learn the setting method, 
refer to the [Service Precautions] label 

attached at the cover of electrical box shown 

in the figure 27. Remember, the actual set-
tings you have made must be recorded on 

the [Service Precautions] label.

(3)Turn ON the power to the outside units 

and indoor 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.

(4)Start the heat source water pump and fill 

the heat source water in the outside unit.

The outside unit cannot be operated if the 
heat source water pump is not running.

(5)Make sure that the temperature of heat 

source water is kept within the operation 
range (10 - 45°C).

The outside unit cannot be operated at a 
temperature outside the operation range.

(6)Check the LED on the PC board (A1P) in the outside unit to see if the data transmission is 

performed normally.
