Electrical and gas leak check
Electrical safety check
Perform the electric safe check after completing installation:
1.
Earth connection - Check the earth connection visually and
with a multi meter following national wiring rules to confirm
good earth connection of both the indoor unit and the
outdoor unit.
2.
Earth leakage test - While the unit is running, conduct earth
leakage test with a multi meter. If high leakage current is
detected immediately switch off the unit and solve the
problem before proceeding. Follow earth leakage test
procedure as per national wiring rules.
Gas leak check
1.
Soap water method: Apply a soap water or a liquid neutral
detergent on the indoor unit connections and outdoor unit
connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the
connecting points of the piping. If bubbles come out, it
indicates that the pipes have leakage.
2.
Leak detector method: Use a leak detector to check near
connections A, B, C & D for refrigerant leakage.
