Electrical and
Gas Leak Checks
Electrical Safety Checks
After installation, confirm that all electrical wiring
is installed in accordance with local and national
regulations, and according to the Installation
Manual.
BEFORE TEST RUN
Check Grounding Work
Measure grounding resistance by visual detection
and with grounding resistance tester. Grounding
resistance must be less than 0.1
Ω
.
Note:
This may not be required for some
locations in North America.
DURING TEST RUN
Check for Electrical Leakage
During the
Test Run,
use an electroprobe and
multimeter to perform a comprehensive electrical
leakage test.
If electrical leakage is detected, turn off the unit
immediately and call a licensed electrician to find
and resolve the cause of the leakage.
Note:
This may not be required for some
locations in North America.
Gas Leak Checks
There are two different methods to check for gas
leaks.
Soap and Water Method
Using a soft brush, apply soapy water or liquid
detergent to all pipe connection points on the
indoor unit and outdoor unit. The presence of
bubbles indicates a leak.
Leak Detector Method
If using leak detector, refer to the device’s
operation manual for proper usage instructions.
AFTER PERFORMING GAS LEAK CHECKS
After confirming that the all pipe connection
points DO NOT leak, replace the valve cover on
the outside unit.
WARNING – RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK
ALL WIRING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL
AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES,
AND MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN.
Before Test Run
Only perform test run after you have completed
the following steps:
•
Electrical Safety Checks
– Confirm that
the unit’s electrical system is safe and
operating properly
•
Gas Leak Checks
– Check all flare nut
connections and confirm that the system is
not leaking
•
Confirm that gas and liquid (high and low
pressure) valves are fully open
A: Low pressure stop valve
B: High pressure stop valve
C& D: Indoor unit flare nuts
