Charging refrigerant
5.6.1
Precautions when charging refrigerant
WARNING
▪ Only use R410A as refrigerant. Other substances may
cause explosions and accidents.
▪ R410A contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Its
global warming potential (GWP) value is 2087.5. Do
NOT vent these gases into the atmosphere.
▪ When charging refrigerant, always use protective
gloves and safety glasses.
NOTICE
If the power of some units is turned off, the charging
procedure cannot be finished properly.
NOTICE
Be sure to turn on the power 6 hours before operation in
order to have power running to the crankcase heater and
to protect the compressor.
NOTICE
If operation is performed within 12 minutes after the
compressor unit, heat exchanger unit and indoor units are
turned on, the compressor will not operate before the
communication is established in a correct way between the
compressor unit, heat exchanger unit and indoor units.
NOTICE
Before starting charging procedures:
▪ In case of 5 HP: Check if the 7‑LEDs display is as
normal (see
"6.1.4 To access mode 1 or 2" on
), and there is no malfunction code on the
user interface of the indoor unit. If a malfunction code is
present, see
"8.1 Solving problems based on error
▪ In case of 8 HP: Check if the 7‑segment display
indication of the compressor unit A1P PCB is as normal
(see
"6.1.4 To access mode 1 or 2" on page 20
). If a
malfunction code is present, see
based on error codes" on page 28
.
NOTICE
Make sure all connected units (heat exchanger unit +
indoor units) are recognised (setting [1‑5]).
5.6.2
To determine the additional refrigerant
amount
Additional refrigerant to be charged=R (kg). R should be rounded off
in units of 0.1 kg.

To charge refrigerant
Charging refrigerant consists of 2 stages:
Stage
Description
Stage 1: Pre-charging Recommended in case of larger systems.
Can be skipped, but charging will take longer
then.
Stage 2: Manual
charging
Only necessary if the determined additional
refrigerant amount is
not reached
yet by
pre-charging.
Stage 1: Pre-charging
Summary – Pre-charging
:
Refrigerant bottle
Connected to the service ports of the stop
valves. Which stop valves to use depends
on the circuits you choose to pre-charge to:
▪ Circuits 1 and 2 together (manifold with
refrigerant line splitters required).
▪ First circuit 1, then circuit 2 (or vice versa).
▪ Only circuit 1
▪ Only circuit 2
