The charge in the outdoor units corresponds to the
maximum distances between the outdoor unit and the
hydraulic unit defined in
. If the distances are
greater, an additional charge of R410A is required.
The additional charge depends on the distance between the
outdoor unit and the hydraulic unit for each type of appliance.
The additional charge of R410A must necessarily be
made by an approved refrigeration engineer.
• Example for a HP Comfort 10:
An outdoor unit 17 m away from the hydraulic unit will
require an additional charge of :
Additional charge = (17 - 15) x 40 = 80 g.
The charge must be introduced after creating the vacuum
and before the hydraulic unit is filled with gas, as follows :
- Disconnect the vacuum pump (yellow hose) and
connect a bottle of R410A instead
in the liquid
extraction position
- Open the bottle’s valve.
- Bleed the yellow hose by loosening it slightly on the
manifold side.
- Place the bottle on scales with a minimum accuracy
of 10 g. Note the weight.
- Carefully open the blue valve slightly and check the
value shown on the scales.
- As soon as the value displayed has dropped by the
value for the calculated additional charge, close the
bottle and disconnect it.
- Then rapidly disconnect the hose connected to the appliance.
- Proceed to fill the hydraulic unit with gas.
"
Warning
• Only use R410A !
• Only use tools suitable for R410A
(set of manometers).
• Always charge in the liquid phase.
• Never exceed the length or the maximum difference
in level.

Pump down operation
(Refrigerant collecting operation)
Perform the following procedures to collect the
refrigerant.
-
1
- Turn OFF the start/stop switch
(ref.
3
).
-
2
- Remove the front panel.
Then turn ON the DIP SW 1 on the interface card.
-
3
- Turn ON the start/stop switch.
(Green and Red LED on the board start flashing ;
1 sec. on / 1 sec. off repeated).
-
4
- The outdoor unit begins cooling operation
about
3
minutes
after
switching
ON.
Close the liquid valve on the outdoor unit 1 minute
after operation starts.
-
5
- Close the gas valve on the outdoor unit 1-2 minutes
after closing the liquid valve, while the outdoor unit
keeps running.
-
6
- Disconnect the power supply.
Remarks :
- Make sure to turn OFF the start/stop switch before
touching DIP SW.
- The pump down operation cannot be activated even
if DIP SW is changed while heat pump's power is on.
- Do not forget to turn back DIP SW 1 on the interface
card to OFF, after the pump down operation has been
completed.
- When the pump down operation is repeated,
temporarily turn OFF the start/stop switch after opening
the closed valves (both liquid and gas).
- Then turn ON the start/stop switch again after
2 - 3 minutes and perform the pump down operation.
