1.
Check if the piping connections are secure.
2.
Check that the stems of 2-way valve and 3-way valve are closed
fully.
3.
Connect the gauge manifold charge hose to the charging port
of the 3-way valve (side with the projection for pushing in the
valve core).
4.
Open the low pressure side valve of the gauge manifold fully.
5.
Operate the vacuum pump and start pump down.
6.
Slowly loosen the flare nut of the 3-way valve and check if air
enters, then retighten the flare nut.
(When the flare nut is loosened the operating sound of the
vacuum pump changes and the reading of the compound
pressure gauge goes from minus to zero.)
OUTDOOR UNIT
OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
AIR PURGE
Always use a vacuum pump to purge the air.
Refrigerant for purging the air is not charged in the
outdoor unit at the factory.
Close the high pressure side valve of the gauge manifold fully and do
not operate it during the following work.
●
Set the unit on a strong stand, such as one made of concrete blocks
to minimize shock and vibration.
●
Do not set the unit directly on the ground because it will cause trouble.
Connector cover removal
●
Remove the two mounting screws.
Installing the connector cover
(1) After inserting the three front hooks, then insert the rear hook.
(2) Tighten the two mounting screws.

7.
Pump down the system for at least 15 minutes, then check if the
compound pressure gauge reads -0.1 MPa (-76 cmHg, -1 bar).
8.
At the end of pump down, close the low pressure side gauge of
the gauge manifold fully and stop the vacuum pump.
9.
Slowly loosen the valve stem of the 3-way valve. When the
compound pressure gauge reading reaches 0.1-0.2 MPa,
retighten the valve stem and disconnect the charge hose
from the 3-way valve charging port.
(If the stem of the 3-way valve is opened fully before the
charge hose is disconnected, it may be difficult to disconnect
the charge hose.)
ELECTRICAL WIRING (OUTDOOR UNIT)
1. Remove the screws, then remove the control box cover.
2. Fasten the Inter unit wire harness and power supply to the conduit holder using the lock nut.
3. Connect inter-unit wire harness and power supply to the terminal.
Refer to the wiring diagram
4. Use the screws to install the control box cover.
WARNING
Be sure to comply with local codes while run-
ning the wire from the indoor unit to the out-
door unit (size of wire and wiring method, etc. ).
Every wire must be connected firmly.
No wire should be allowed to touch refrigerant
tubing, the compressor or any moving part.
Loose wiring may cause the terminal to over-
heat or result in unit malfunction. A fire hazard
may also exist. Therefore, be sure all wiring is
tightly connected.
Connect wires to the matching numbers of
terminals.
NOTE:
•
Connector trade size for this unit is 1/2” (12.7 mm). The connec-
tor can be bought at a hardware store. Refer to
“
How to connect
wiring to the terminals
”
for instructions on connecting depend-
ing on the wire type you are using.
•
The fuse located in the outdoor unit provides power supply pro-
tection and may blow when power is applied if the system has
been incorrectly wired.

WARNING
(1) Install the unit where it will not be tilted by more
than 5°.
(2) When installing the outdoor unit where it may ex-
posed to strong wind, fasten it securely.

10. Fully open the valve stems of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve
using a hexagon wrench. (After the valve stem begins to turn,
turn it with a torque of less than 2.17ft •lbs (30 kgf•cm) until it
stops turning.)
11. Firmly tighten the 2-way valve and 3-way valve blank cap and
the charging port cap.
