Refer to 

temperzone

 for recommended 

thermostats.
It is recommended electricians run a spare 
wire between Outdoor Unit and Indoor 
Unit in case 'Indoor Fan Off During De-
Ice' becomes a requirement. Leave this 
spare wire unconnected until required. 
(Not required when using 

temperzone

 

SAT Controller). Refer indoor unit's wiring 
diagram.
A 24 hour power supply is required to the 
unit. Disconnect the crankcase heater if the 
total line length is less than 8 m.

SYSTEM CHECK TESTS

1.  Leave the remote switch in the off 

position and close the mains isolating 
switch.

 

A four hour delay period is required to 
allow the crankcase heater to drive any 
liquid refrigerant out of the compressor 
oil. Bypass the crankcase heater 
thermostat (CCHT) for this period only.

2.  Check that all fan motors are free 

running.

3.  Check tightness of electrical 

connections.

4.  Check that the thermostat is correctly 

wired to the unit and is set at the desired 
temperature.

5.  Check that the air filters, if any, have 

been correctly installed.

6.  Check any supply air diffuser dampers 

are open.

START UP PROCEDURE

Use the supplied Commissioning Sheet to 
help you complete the following procedure:
1.  Switch on the unit after the four hour 

delay period has expired. Ensure the 
crankcase heater thermostat has been 
reconnected. 

2.  Check the supply voltage.
3.  Measure the current draw on the 

compressor motor and on each fan 
motor. Check all readings against the 
specified values - particularly the indoor 
fan amps if the unit is installed in a free 
blow application.

4.  Fit gauges and measure the suction and 

discharge pressures.   

Important

: Gauges must be designed 

specifically for use with R410A.

5.  Test the operation of the high pressure 

safety control by switching off the 
outdoor unit's fan.

6.  Test the operation of the reversing valve 

by running the unit in both the heating 
and cooling mode.

7.  Check that the air flow over the outdoor 

unit's coil is adequate and that the fan is 
running smoothly.

8.  Check the superheat - refer charging 

procedure.

9.  Check the supply air flow at each outlet.
10. Check condensate drains for free 

drainage and no leaks.

Pipe Length Capacity Loss

On Cooling Cycle Due to Pressure Drop
Note :  

Loss percentages are approximations only, due to piping variations.  No allowance made for vertical piping.

Charging

The unit is supplied with refrigerant 
HFC-410A (R410A) which is sufficient for 
up to 10 m of pipework between the indoor 
and outdoor units; refer wiring diagram 
specification table for amount. Add 45 g of 
HFC-410A per metre over 10 m.
Procedure:
1.  Evacuate Indoor Unit and 

interconnecting pipework to a pressure 
of 500 microns and hold for 15 mins. 

 2.  Add refrigerant, if needed, via the 

Schraeder connection on the smaller of 
the Outdoor Unit's two service valves. 

3.  Open the service valve at the Outdoor 

Unit to allow refrigerant to flow 
throughout the system.

4.  Leak check all brazed and fitted joints.
IMPORTANT :
Step 8 of the 'Start Up Procedure' requires 
you to check that the superheat on the 
suction line (where it enters the Outdoor 
Unit) is between 3°C - 5°C on cooling cycle 
with an indoor air temperature in the range 
21° - 27°C and outdoor air temperature in 
the range 24° - 35°C. If the conditions of the 
day do not allow this, use the heating cycle 
or other heat source to raise the indoor 
air temperature to about 24°C. Return to 
cooling cycle and blank off the outdoor 
coil to raise the head pressure to 400 psig 
(2760 kPag). Alter charge up or down to 
establish correct superheat.

WARNING:

This unit is designed for use ONLY with 
the refrigerant HFC -410A. The use of 
other refrigerants is NOT authorised or 
approved by the manufacturer and may 
cause operational problems such as poor 
performance and efficiency, loss of capacity, 
degradation of materials and refrigerant 
leaks. 

The use of flammable or explosive 

materials as a refrigerant creates the 
additional risks of fire and explosion 
which may result in property damage, 
personal injury or death.

Oil Charge

For line lengths in excess of 30 m, Idemitsu 
polyolvinylether oil (PVE) should be added 
to the refrigerant at the rate of 10 ml/m of 
suction piping. 

Note

: As an alternative, 

mineral oil or polyol ester oil (POE) may be 
added, but no more than 65 ml.

ELECTRICAL REqUIREMENTS

Electrical work must be done by a qualified 
electrician.  The outdoor unit must be wired 
directly from a distribution board by means 
of a circuit breaker or H.R.C. fuse, and a 
mains isolator provided - preferably close to 
the Outdoor Unit.

Note

:  DO NOT USE REWIRABLE FUSES.

Standard units are suitable for use with 
thermostats with either manual Heat/Cool 
selection or automatic changeover subject 
to the contact ratings of the thermostats. 

11.  Check compressor compartment for oil 

stains indicating refrigerant leaks.

12. Touch up all outdoor unit paintwork 

damage to prevent corrosion.

OUTDOOR UNIT CONTROLLER (OUC)

The Outdoor Unit Controller (OUC) 
includes a temperature sensing head 
pressure control which enables the system 
to compensate for outdoor ambient 
temperatures below 20°C, and heating cycle 
above 15°C. The OUC also has features 
which protect against icing or overheating 
of coils, rapid cycling of the compressor and 
loss of refrigerant charge. 
If the outdoor unit fans take some time 
to begin rotating when the system is 
powered on, or they don't appear to be 
rotating appropriately while the compressor 
is running, consult the OUC label on 
the electrical box. If necessary, refer 
to 

temperzone 

for further diagnostic 

information.

MAINTENANCE
Weekly For First Four Weeks

Check indoor unit air filters (if fitted) and 
vacuum or wash clean as necessary.

Six Monthly

1.  Check the tightness of all fan and motor 

mountings.

2.  Check the tightness of electrical 

connections

3.  Check that fan motors are free running.
4.  Check suction and discharge operating 

pressures.

5.  Replace indoor unit air filters (if fitted).
6.  Check condensate drains for free 

drainage.

Yearly

1.  Check all refrigerant piping for chafing 

and vibration.

2.  Check the operation of electric heaters if 

fitted.

3.  Check air supply at all diffusers.
4.  Check for excessive noise and vibration 

and correct as necessary.
