2 | General safety precautions
WARNING
During tests, NEVER pressurize the product with a pressure higher than the maximum allowable pressure (as indicated on the nameplate of the unit).
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 might be produced if refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire.
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.
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, refrigerant MUST be treated
according to the applicable legislation.
WARNING
Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the leak test and the vacuum drying.
Possible consequence: Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor because of oxygen going into the operating compressor.
In case recharge is required, see the nameplate of the unit. It states the type of
refrigerant and necessary amount.
Installer and user reference guide
10
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:

A siphon tube is present
Charge with the cylinder upright.
(i.e., the cylinder is marked with "Liquid filling siphon attached")
A siphon tube is NOT present Charge with the cylinder upside down.
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.

2.1.4 Electrical

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

Make sure to install the required fuses or circuit breakers.Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure to do so may cause
electrical 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.
CAUTION
When connecting the power supply: connect the earth cable first, before making
the current-carrying connections.
When disconnecting the power supply: disconnect the current-carrying cables
first, before separating the earth connection.
The length of the conductors between the power supply stress relief and the
terminal block itself must be as such that the current-carrying wires are tautened before the earth wire is in case the power supply is pulled loose from the stress relief.
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
above.
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.

8.2.2 About cooling, heating, fan only, and automatic operation

Changeover cannot be made with a user interface whose display shows
"change-over under centralised control" (refer to installation and operation manual of the user interface).
When the display "change-over under centralised control" flashes, refer to
"About setting the master user interface"[431].
The fan may keep on running for about 1 minute after the heating operation
stops.
The air flow rate may adjust itself depending on the room temperature or the fan
may stop immediately. This is not a malfunction.

8.2.3 About the heating operation

It may take longer to reach the set temperature for general heating operation than for cooling operation.
The following operation is performed in order to prevent the heating capacity from dropping or cold air from blowing.
Defrost operation
8 | Operation
In heating operation, freezing of the outdoor unit's air cooled coil increases over time, restricting the energy transfer to the outdoor unit's coil. Heating capability decreases and the system needs to go into defrost operation to be able to remove frost from the outdoor unit’s coil. During defrost operation the heating capacity on the indoor unit side will temporarily drop until defrosting is completed. After defrosting, the unit will regain its full heating capacity.
If Then
RYYQ or RYMQ outdoor unit is installed
The indoor unit will continue heating operation at a reduced level during defrost operation. It will guarantee a decent comfort level indoor. A heat storage element in the outdoor unit will provide the energy to de-ice the outdoor unit's air cooled coil during defrost operation.
RXYQ outdoor unit is installed
The indoor unit will stop fan operation, the refrigerant cycle will reverse and energy from inside the building will be used to defrost the outdoor unit coil.
The indoor unit will indicate defrost operation on the display .
Hot start
In order to prevent cold air from blowing out of an indoor unit at the start of heating operation, the indoor fan is automatically stopped. The display of the user interface shows . It may take some time before the fan starts. This is not a malfunction.

8.2.4 To operate the system (WITHOUT cool/heat changeover remote control switch)

INFORMATION
The heating capacity drops when the outside temperature falls. If this happens,
use another heating device together with the unit. (When using together with appliances that produce open fire, ventilate the room constantly). Do not place appliances that produce open fire in places exposed to the air flow from the unit or under the unit.
It takes some time to heat up the room from the time the unit is started since the
unit uses a hot-air circulating system to heat the entire room.
If the hot air rises to the ceiling, leaving the area above the floor cold, we
recommend that you use the circulator (the indoor fan for circulating air). Contact your dealer for details.
