Electrical safety & Gas leak check

21

Perform the electric safety check after completing installation:

Apply a soap water or a liquid 

neutral detergent on the indoor unit 

connection or outdoor unit connections 

by a soft brush to check for leakage 

of the connecting points of the piping. 

If bubbles come out, the pipes have 

leakage point.

Use the leak detector to check for 

leakage.

A: Low side valve, B: High side valve 

valve C and D are ends of indoor unit 

connection.

Electrical safety

Gas leak check

1. Insulated resistance: The insulated resistance must be more than 2M

Ω

.

2. Grounding work: After finishing grounding work, measure the grounding 

resistance by visual detection and grounding resistance tester. Make sure the 

grounding resistance is less than 4

Ω

.

3. Electrical leakage check (performing during test running): During test 

operation after finishing installation, the serviceman can use the electric 

probe and multimeter to perform the electrical leakage check. Turn off the unit 

immediately if electrical leakage happens. Check and find out the solution 

ways till the unit operates properly.
