Pump Down (SE1, Pd)
Pump Down function gathers the refrigerant in the system, and sends it to the outdoor unit.
Use Pump Down function when there is a refrigerant leak, or if an indoor unit needs to be re-
placed. The maximum refrigerant for outdoor units is size dependent and varies between 14.3
and 37.5 lbs per frame. If the system charge is greater than the volume that can be stored,
a supplemental vacuum pump and third-party storage containers will be required. Set Pump
Down mode on the master outdoor unit, but all outdoor units will function while the system is
in Pump Down. For use on both heat pump and heat recovery systems.
Operate the system in all indoor unit cooling.
Choose SE1, Pd, and then press the red
