(a) Pipe length
(b) Adjusting the amount of refrigerant
• Additional refrigerant charge is not necessary for the pipe length up to 30 m. When the pipe length exceeds 30 m or service
(refrigerant replacement) is performed, charge proper amount of refrigerant for each pipe length referring to table below.
Use refrigerant R410A. Use charge hose exclusive for R410A.
• When charging additional refrigerant, charge the refrigerant from low-pressure side of the port valve using a safety charger.
• Make sure that air purge for this unit at refrigerant replacement is performed from both high-pressure check valve and ser-
vice port. (If air purge is performed only from one of them, air in not purged enough.)
• When replacing refrigerant, charge the refrigerant from service port. When charged refrigerant is less than specified amount,
charge the refrigerant again from low pressure side of the port valve using a safety charger.
• Tighten the service port cap (nut) of stop valve firmly. The tightening torque is 12 to 16 N·m. (For the prevention of slow-leak)
• Check additional refrigerant charging amount referring to table 4 when liquid pipe is one size larger than standard diameter,
and table 2 when the pipe is standard diameter.

<Table 1> Pipe length for 1:1 system
*1: Set DIP SW8-1 on outdoor unit controller board to ON.
*2: The maximum length is 50 m in case of using existing pipes.
*3: The height difference between indoor and outdoor unit should be kept within 30 m for all models.
