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
valves are fully closed and covered in caps in initial state.)
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.
2) Press the E.O. SW. 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 COOL mode (24°C
COOL) 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 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 instructions
for details.)
4-4. EXPLANATION TO THE USER
• Using the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, explain to the user how to use the air condi-
tioner (how to use the remote controller, how to remove the air filters, how to remove or
put the remote controller in the remote controller holder, how to clean, precautions for
operation, etc.).
• Recommend the user to read the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS carefully.
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
2
).
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
gauge shows 0.05 to 0 MPa [Gauge] (approx. 0.5 to 0 kgf/cm
2
).
6) Stop the emergency COOL operation.
Press the E.O. SW several times until all LED lamps turn off. Refer to operating instruc-
tions for details.
3) Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)
4) Check the vacuum with gauge manifold valve, then close gauge manifold valve, and stop
the vacuum pump.
5) Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure pointer gauge manifold valve remains
in the same position. Confirm that pressure gauge shows –0.101 MPa [Gauge] (–760
mmHg).
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 performance
and this causes trouble.
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.
To the user
• After installing the unit, make sure to explain the user about auto restart function.
• If auto restart function is unnecessary, it can be deactivated. Consult the service
representative to deactivate the function. Refer to the service manual for details.
4. PURGING PROCEDURES, LEAK TEST, AND TEST RUN
5. RELOCATION AND MAINTENANCE
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
5-1. REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE PANEL ASSEMBLY
5-2. REMOVING THE INDOOR UNIT
Remove the bottom of the indoor unit from the installation
plate.
When releasing the corner part, release both left and right
bottom corner part of indoor unit and pull it downward and
forward as shown in the figure on the right.
If the above method cannot be used
Remove the panel. Then, insert hexagonal wrenches into the square holes on the left and
right sides of the unit and push them up as shown in the following figure. The bottom of the
indoor unit lowers and releases the hooks.
Removal procedure
1) Remove the 2 screws which fix the panel assem-
bly.
2) Remove the panel assembly. Be sure to remove its
bottom end first.
Installation procedure
1) Install the panel assembly following the removal
procedure in reverse.
2) Be sure to press the positions as indicated by the
arrows in order to attach the assembly completely
to the unit.
