1. Perform refrigerant piping connections for the indoor / outdoor unit while the outdoor unit's stopvalve is completely
closed (factory setting), and then vacuumize the refrigerant lines through the service port of the outdoor unit.
2. Open the stop valves of the outdoor unit completely.
This will completely connects the refrigerant lines of the indoor and outdoor units.
Handling of the stop valve is shown on the outdoor unit.
Note :
· Apply refrigerating machine oil over the flare seat surface. Do not apply to the threaded portion.
(It will cause the flare nut to loosen.)
· Use two wrenches to tighten piping connection.
· Use leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks after connections are completed.
· For the insulation of the connection at the indoor side, make sure to use the attached insulation materials and
thoroughly follow the instruction shown in the manual.
· Always use a non-oxidizing brazing material when brazing the pipes.
Adjusting the amount of refrigerant
Check additional refrigerant charging amount referring to the procedure
2
below when the liquid pipe diameter of the main
piping A is larger than the standard size.
1
When the standard diameter pipe is used for the main piping A, calculate the additional refrigerant amount by
referring to <Table 2> as well as the 1:1 system.
2
When the liquid pipe diameter of the main piping A is one size larger than the standard size:
· When the extension pipe length (main branch piping) does not exceeds 20m, adjustment of the
refrigerant is not necessary (charge-less).
· When the extension pipe length (main branch piping) exceeds 20m, charge the amount of refrigerant
that is obtained by the formula shown in <Table 7>.
If the calculation produces a negative number (i.e. a "minus" charge), additional charging is not necessary.
Note: Apply 0 to L1 to L3 corresponding to the piping that are not used.
Correcting the capacity value
When calculating the lowered capacity by the extension pipe length, use the longest length between the indoor and the outdoor
units.

When the total length of the piping exceeds 70 m, calculate the amount of additional charge based on the following requirements.
Note: If the calculation produces a negative number (i.e. a “minus” charge), of if calculation results in an amount that is less than the
“Additional charge amount for 70 m,”perform the additional charge using the amount shown in “Additional charge amount for 70 m.”
