6.1 Preparing the installation site
Do NOT install the unit in places often used as work place. In case of construction
works (e.g. grinding works) where a lot of dust is created, the unit MUST be
covered.
Choose an installation location with sufficient space for carrying the unit in and out
of the site.
CAUTION
▪ Check if the installation location can support the unit's weight. Poor installation is
hazardous. It can also cause vibrations or unusual operating noise.
▪ Provide sufficient service space.
▪ Do NOT install the unit so that it is in contact with a ceiling or a wall, as this may
cause vibrations.
▪ Choose a location where the operation noise or the hot/cold air discharged from
the unit will not disturb anyone.
▪ Provide sufficient space around the unit for servicing and air circulation.
▪ Avoid areas where flammable gas or product might leak.
▪ Install units, power cables and communication wiring at least 3 m away from
televisions or radios to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a
distance of 3m may not be sufficient.
Do NOT place objects below the indoor and/or outdoor unit that may get wet.
Otherwise condensation on the unit or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain
blockage may cause dripping, and objects under the unit may get dirty or damaged.

7.3.2 Precautions when checking the refrigerant piping
Typical workflow
Checking the refrigerant piping typically consists of the following stages:
1Checking for leaks in the refrigerant piping.
2Performing vacuum drying to remove all moisture, air or nitrogen from the
refrigerant piping.
If there is a possibility of moisture being present in the refrigerant piping (for
example, water may have entered the piping), first carry out the vacuum drying
procedure below until all moisture has been removed.
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the following chapters:
Use a 2-stage vacuum pump with a non-return valve that can evacuate to a gauge
pressure of −100.7kPa (−1.007bar)(5Torr absolute). Make sure the pump oil does
not flow oppositely into the system while the pump is not working.
7.3.3 To check for leaks
NOTICE
Use this vacuum pump for R32 exclusively. Using the same pump for other
refrigerants may damage the pump and the unit.
NOTICE
▪ Connect the vacuum pump to the service port of the gas stop valve.
▪ Make sure that the gas stop valve and liquid stop valve are firmly closed before
performing the leak test or vacuum drying.
NOTICE
Do NOT exceed the unit's maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate).
NOTICE
Make sure to use a recommended bubble test solution from your wholesaler. Do not
use soap water, which may cause cracking of flare nuts (soap water may contain salt,
which absorbs moisture that will freeze when the piping gets cold), and/or lead to
corrosion of flared joints (soap water may contain ammonia which causes a corrosive
effect between the brass flare nut and the copper flare).
Installer reference guide

14.3 Checklist for yearly maintenance of the outdoor unit
The heat exchanger of the outdoor unit can get blocked up due to dust, dirt,
leaves, etc. It is recommended to clean the heat exchanger yearly. A blocked
heat exchanger can lead to too low pressure or too high pressure leading to
worse performance.
14.4 About the compressor
When servicing the compressor keep in mind following precautions:
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
▪ Use this compressor on a grounded system only.
▪ Turn the power off before servicing the compressor.
▪ Reattach the switch box cover and service lid after servicing.

14 | Maintenance and service
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
▪ Use a pipe cutter to remove the compressor.
▪ Do NOT use the brazing torch.
▪ Use approved refrigerants and lubricants only.
This chapter describes what you have to do in case of problems.
It contains information about solving problems based on symptoms.
Before troubleshooting
Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the unit and look for obvious defects such
as loose connections or defective wiring.
WARNING
▪ When carrying out an inspection on the switch box of the unit, ALWAYS make
sure that the unit is disconnected from the mains. Turn off the respective circuit
breaker.
▪ When a safety device was activated, stop the unit and find out why the safety
device was activated before resetting it. NEVER shunt safety devices or change
their values to a value other than the factory default setting. If you are unable to
find the cause of the problem, call your dealer.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
WARNING
Prevent hazards due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out: power to this
appliance MUST NOT be supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly turned ON and OFF by the utility.
DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING
15.3 Solving problems based on symptoms
15.3.1 Symptom: Indoor units fall, vibrate or make noise
▪ When the unit is not operating, the LEDs on the PCB are turned off in order to
save power.
▪ Even when the LEDs are off, the terminal block and the PCB may be powered.

16 Disposal
16.1 Overview: Disposal
NOTICE
Do NOT try to dismantle the system yourself: dismantling of the system, treatment of
the refrigerant, oil and other parts MUST comply with applicable legislation. Units
MUST be treated at a specialised treatment facility for reuse, recycling and recovery.
Typical workflow
Disposing of the system typically consists of the following stages:
1Pumping down the system.
2Bringing the system to a specialized treatment facility.
INFORMATION
For more details, see the service manual.
16.2 To pump down
Example: To protect the environment, pump down when relocating the unit or
when disposing of the unit.
Pump down operation will extract all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor
unit.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump down the system, and there
is a leak in the refrigerant circuit:
▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function, with which you can collect
all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence: Selfcombustion and explosion of the compressor because of air going into the
operating compressor.
▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's compressor does NOT have to
operate.
NOTICE
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before removing the refrigerant
piping. If the compressor is still running and the stop valve is open during pump
down, air will be sucked into the system. Compressor breakdown or damage to the
system can result due to abnormal pressure in the refrigerant cycle.
