3) Check the refrigerant volume by LED monitor display using the LED.
Set the LED monitor display switch (SW1) as shown below and check the past information (history) concerning the
refrigerant volume.
Set SW1 as shown in the figure at right.
If LD3 lights up, it indicates the refrigerant charge abnormal delay state just before emergency stop due to refriger-
ant overcharge (1500).
Judgment
Refrigerant volume tends toward
insufficient.
Refrigerant volume tends toward
overcharge.

Liquid Heater Output Check
Turn 1 ON on the LED monitor display switch (SW1)
, and output
the signal for the heater relay to LED 5, then check the voltage of the heater terminal (AC
198 ~ 264 V) (leave the heater connections as they are).

Use the LED monitor display to check if there is misalignment between the actual
temperature and the detected temperature of TH2 ~ TH4.

Refrigerant Volume
1) Checking the Operating Condition
Operate all the indoor units in cooling or in heating, checking the discharge temperature, sub-cooling, low pressure
saturation temperature, inlet temperature, shell bottom temperature, fluid level, fluid step, etc. and render an overall
judgment.
Note:
Depending on the operating state, AL = 0 does not mean that there is insufficient refrigerant.
2) Cautions When Judging the Liquid Level
If you are judging the liquid level, be sure the liquid level sensor function (sensor and heater) are operating normally.

Additional Refrigerant Charge Volume
At the time of shipping from the factory, the outdoor unit is charged with the amount of refrigerant shown in the
following table, but since no extension piping is included, please carry out additional charging on-site.
