WARNING

During tests, NEVER pressurize the product with a pressure higher than the maximum allowable pressure (as indicated on the nameplate of the unit).

▪ The unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending on pipe

sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional charging of refrigerant.

▪ Only use tools exclusively for the refrigerant type used in the

system, this to ensure pressure resistance and prevent foreign materials from entering into the system.

▪ Charge the liquid refrigerant as follows:

If Then

A siphon tube is present

(i.e., the cylinder is marked with "Liquid filling siphon attached")

A siphon tube is NOT present Charge with the cylinder upside

▪ Open refrigerant cylinders slowly.

▪ Charge the refrigerant in liquid form. Adding it in gas form may

prevent normal operation.

CAUTION

When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or when pausing, close the valve of the refrigerant tank immediately. If the valve is not closed immediately, remaining pressure might charge additional refrigerant. Possible consequence: Incorrect refrigerant amount.

Charge with the cylinder upright.

down.

WARNING

Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks:

▪ Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room

can lead to oxygen deficiency.

▪ Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes

into contact with fire.

WARNING

Always recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the installation.

NOTICE

After all the piping has been connected, make sure there is no gas leak. Use nitrogen to perform a gas leak detection.

NOTICE

▪ To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more

than the specified amount of refrigerant.

▪ When the refrigerant system is to be opened,

2 About the documentation

1.3.6 Electrical

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

▪ Turn OFF all power supply before removing the

switch box cover, connecting electrical wiring or touching electrical parts.

▪ Disconnect the power supply for more than 1 minute,

and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical components before servicing. The voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC before you can touch electrical components. For the location of the terminals, see the wiring diagram.

▪ Do NOT touch electrical components with wet hands.

▪ Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service

cover is removed.

WARNING

If NOT factory installed, a main switch or other means for disconnection, having a contact separation in all poles providing full disconnection under overvoltage category III condition, shall be installed in the fixed wiring.

WARNING

▪ ONLY use copper wires.

▪ Make sure the field wiring complies with the applicable

legislation.

▪ All field wiring must be performed in accordance with

the wiring diagram supplied with the product.

▪ NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they

do not come in contact with the piping and sharp edges. Make sure no external pressure is applied to the terminal connections.

▪ Make sure to install earth wiring. Do NOT earth the unit

to a utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth. Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock.

▪ Make sure to use a dedicated power circuit. NEVER

use a power supply shared by another appliance.

▪ Make sure to install the required fuses or circuit

breakers.

▪ Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure

to do so may cause electric shock or fire.

▪ When installing the earth leakage protector, make sure

it is compatible with the inverter (resistant to high frequency electric noise) to avoid unnecessary opening of the earth leakage protector.

NOTICE

Precautions when laying power wiring:

▪ Do not connect wiring of different thicknesses to the

power terminal block (slack in the power wiring may cause abnormal heat).

▪ When connecting wiring which is the same thickness,

do as shown in the figure below.

▪ For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect

firmly, then secure to prevent outside pressure being exerted on the terminal board.

▪ Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the

terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will damage the head and make proper tightening impossible.

▪ Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

Install power cables at least 1metre away from televisions or radios to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1metre may not be sufficient.

WARNING

▪ After finishing the electrical work, confirm that each

electrical component and terminal inside the electrical components box is connected securely.

▪ Make sure all covers are closed before starting up the

unit.

NOTICE

Only applicable if the power supply is three‑phase, and the compressor has an ON/OFF starting method.

If there exists the possibility of reversed phase after a momentary black out and the power goes on and off while the product is operating, attach a reversed phase protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed phase can break the compressor and other parts.

5.2.3 Securing safety against refrigerant leaks

5 Preparation

a Direction of the refrigerant flow b Room where refrigerant leak has occurred (outflow of all

the refrigerant from the system)

Pay special attention to places, such as basements etc., where refrigerant can stay, since refrigerant is heavier than air.

To check the maximum concentration level

Check the maximum concentration level in accordance with steps 1 to 4 below and take whatever action is necessary to comply.

1 Calculate the amount of refrigerant (kg) charged to each system

separately.

Formula A+B=C

A Amount of refrigerant in a single unit system

(amount of refrigerant with which the system is charged before leaving the factory)

B Additional charging amount (amount of

refrigerant added locally in accordance with the length or diameter of the refrigerant piping)

C Total amount of refrigerant (kg) in the

system

NOTICE

Where a single refrigerant facility is divided into 2 entirely independent refrigerant systems, use the amount of refrigerant with which each separate system is charged.

2 Calculate the volume of the room (m3) where the indoor unit is

installed. In a case such as the following, calculate the volume of (D), (E) as a single room or as the smallest room.

D Where there are no smaller room divisions:

About safety against refrigerant leaks

The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regulations or standards. The following standards may be applicable if local regulations are not available.

This system uses R410A as refrigerant. R410A itself is an entirely safe non-toxic, non-combustible refrigerant. Nevertheless care must be taken to ensure that air conditioning facilities are installed in a room which is sufficiently large. This assures that the maximum concentration level of refrigerant gas is not exceeded, in the unlikely event of major leak in the system and this in accordance to the local applicable regulations and standards.

About the maximum concentration level

The maximum charge of refrigerant and the calculation of the maximum concentration of refrigerant is directly related to the humanly occupied space in to which it could leak.

The unit of measurement of the concentration is kg/m3 (the weight in kg of the refrigerant gas in 1m3 volume of the occupied space).

Compliance to the local applicable regulations and standards for the maximum allowable concentration level is required.

According to the appropriate European Standard, the maximum allowed concentration level of refrigerant to a humanly space for R410A is limited to 0.44 kg/m3.

5.3 Preparing refrigerant piping

5.3.1 Refrigerant piping requirements

INFORMATION

Also read the precautions and requirements in the "General safety precautions" chapter.

NOTICE

The refrigerant R410A requires strict cautions for keeping the system clean, dry and tight.

▪ Clean and dry: foreign materials (including mineral oils

or moisture) should be prevented from getting mixed into the system.

▪ Tight: R410A does not contain any chlorine, does not

destroy the ozone layer, and does not reduce earth's protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation. R410A can contribute slightly to the greenhouse effect if it is released. Therefore we should take special attention to check the tightness of the installation.

NOTICE

The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper for refrigerant.

▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must

be ≤30 mg/10 m.

5.3.3 To select the piping size

Determine the proper size referring to following tables and reference figure (only for indication).

1 Outdoor unit 2 Refrigerant branch kits

3-1~3-4 VRVDX indoor units

A Piping between outdoor unit and (first) refrigerant branch

kit

B-1 B-2 Piping between refrigerant branch kits

C-1~C-4 Piping between refrigerant branch kit and indoor unit

In case the required pipe sizes (inch sizes) are not available, it is also allowed to use other diameters (mm sizes), taken the following into account:

▪ Select the pipe size nearest to the required size.

▪ Use the suitable adapters for the change-over from inch tomm

pipes (field supply).

▪ The additional refrigerant calculation has to be adjusted as

mentioned in "6.7.3 To determine the additional refrigerant

amount"on page22.

A: Piping between outdoor unit and (first) refrigerant branch kit

When the equivalent pipe length between outdoor and indoor units is 90m or more, the size of the main gas pipe must be increased (sizeup). If the recommended gas pipe (size-up) is not available, you must use the standard size (which might result in a small capacity decrease).

6.4.5 To flare the pipe end

CAUTION

▪ Incomplete flaring may cause refrigerant gas leakage.

▪ Do NOT re-use flares. Use new flares to prevent

refrigerant gas leakage.

▪ Use flare nuts that are included with the unit. Using

different flare nuts may cause refrigerant gas leakage.

1 Cut the pipe end with a pipe cutter.

chips do not enter the pipe.

a Cut exactly at right angles. b Remove burrs.

3 Remove the flare nut from the stop valve and put the flare nut

on the pipe.

4 Flare the pipe. Set exactly at the position as shown in the

following illustration.

6.4.6 To braze the pipe end

NOTICE

Precautions when connecting field piping. Add brazing material as shown in the figure.

▪ When brazing, blow through with nitrogen to prevent creation of

large quantities of oxidised film on the inside of the piping. This film adversely affects valves and compressors in the refrigerating system and prevents proper operation.

▪ Set the nitrogen pressure to 20kPa (just enough so it can be felt

on the skin) with a pressure-reducing valve.

a Refrigerant piping b Part to be brazed c Taping d Manual valve e Pressure-reducing valve

f Nitrogen

▪ Do NOT use anti-oxidants when brazing pipe joints.

Residue can clog pipes and break equipment.

▪ Do NOT use flux when brazing copper-to-copper refrigerant

piping. Use phosphor copper brazing filler alloy (BCuP), which does not require flux. Flux has an extremely harmful influence on refrigerant piping systems. For instance, if chlorine based flux is used, it will cause pipe corrosion or, in particular, if the flux contains fluorine, it will deteriorate the refrigerant oil.
