4-1. PURGING PROCEDURES AND LEAK TEST

1) Remove service port cap of stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas pipe. (The 

stop valve will not work in its initial state fresh out of the factory, totally closed with cap 
on.)

2) Connect gauge manifold valve and vacuum pump to service port of stop valve on the 

gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.

4-2. TEST RUN

1) Insert power supply plug into the power outlet and/or 

turn on the breaker. Check that all LED lamps are not 
lit. If they are blinking, check that the horizontal vane 
is installed correctly. Refer to operating instructions for 
details.

2) Press the E.O. SW once for COOL, and twice for HEAT

operation. Test run will be performed for 30 minutes. If 
the upper lamp of the operation indicator blinks every 0.5 
seconds, inspect the indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire 
(A) for mis-wiring.  After the test run, emergency mode 
(set temperature 24ºC) will start.

3) To stop operation, press the E.O. SW several times until 

all LED lamps turn off. Refer to operating instructions for 
details.

Checking the remote (infrared) signal reception

Press the ON/OFF button on the remote controller (6) and check that an electronic sound 
is heard from the indoor unit. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the air conditioner 
off.
• Once the compressor stops, the restart preventive device operates so the compressor 

will not operate for 3 minutes to protect the air conditioner.

4-3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION

This product is equipped with an auto restart function. When the power supply is stopped 
during operation, such as during blackouts, the function automatically starts operation in 
the previous setting once the power supply is resumed. (Refer to the operating instruc-
tions for details.)

5-1. REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE PANEL ASSEMBLY

5-3. PUMPING DOWN

When relocating or disposing of the air conditioner, pump down the system following the 
procedure below so that no refrigerant is released into the atmosphere.
1) Connect the gauge manifold valve to the service port of the stop valve on the gas pipe 

side of the outdoor unit.

2) Fully close the stop valve on the liquid pipe side of the outdoor unit.
3) Close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit almost completely so that 

it can be easily closed fully when the pressure gauge shows 0 MPa [Gauge] (0 kgf/
cm

).

4) Start the emergency COOL operation.

To start the emergency operation in COOL mode, disconnect the power supply plug 
and/or turn off the breaker. After 15 seconds, connect the power supply plug and/or 
turn on the breaker, and then press the E.O. SW once. (The emergency COOL 
operation can be performed continuously for up to 30 minutes.)

5) Fully close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit when the pressure

6) Remove gauge manifold valve quickly from service port of stop valve.
7) After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on both 

sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe. Operating without fully opening lowers the perform-
ance and this causes trouble.

8) Refer to 1-3., and charge the prescribed amount of refrigerant if needed. Be sure to 

charge slowly with liquid refrigerant. Otherwise, composition of the refrigerant in the 
system may be changed and affect performance of the air conditioner.

9) Tighten cap of service port to obtain the initial status.
10) Leak test

Caution:

• After test run or remote signal reception check, turn off the unit with the E.O. SW or 

the remote controller before turning off the power supply. Not doing so will cause the 
unit to start operation automatically when power supply is resumed.
