HOW TO OPERATE USING THE SERVICE SWITCH THE OUTDOOR UNIT

MODEL RAC-14EH2

1. Turn off the power switch.
2. Remove the electrical box cover.
3. Turn on the power switch.
4. After waiting for 30 seconds, push the service switch for a second.

LD303 (red) will light and the unit will operate in the forced cooling mode at this time.

Never operate the unit for
more than 5 minutes.

(Cautions)
(1)  If interface signal (DC 35V) terminals C and D are not connected when the outdoor unit is in forced cool mode,

the outdoor unit defect indicator (LD301) will blink 9 times during operation to indicate communication error.

(2) If checking is done with the compressor connector disconnected, the unit will stop and LD301 will blink 4 times.

Be sure to push the service switch for a second again to stop the forced cool operation.

HOW TO OPERATE THE OUTDOOR UNIT INDEPENDENTLY

1. Connect the large dia. pipe side and small dia. pipe side service valve using a pipe.

Parts to be prepared

(1) Reducing union
     2/8” (6.35 mm)
     3/8” (9.52 mm)
(2) Copper pipe (2/8” and 3/8”)

Connect the small diameter service
value and the large diameter service
valve using the reducing union and
copper pipe as shown on the right.

Charge refrigerant of 300g
after vacuuming ( 1)

The operation method is the same as “How to operate using the connector to servicing the outdoor unit”.

1 The charging amount of 200g is equivalent to the load in normal operation.

Do not operate for more than 5
minutes
