Preface

Gree DC Inverter Multi VRF System, with the most advanced technologies in the world,
uses eco-friendly refrigerant R410A as its cooling medium. For correct installation and
operation, please read this manual carefully. Before reading the manual, please note that:

(1) To ensure safety when operating the units, please strictly follow the instructions in this
manual.

(2) The total capacity of running indoor units must not exceed that of the outdoor units.
Otherwise, the cooling (heating) effect of each IDU would be poor.

(3) Make sure that this manual is kept by direct operators and maintainers.

(4) In case of malfunction, please examine the following items and contact our authorized
service centers as soon as possible.

1) Air conditioner’s nameplate (model, cooling capacity, product code, ex-factory date);

2) Malfunction status (detail description of conditions before and after malfunction occurs)

(5) All units have been strictly tested and proved to be qualified before ex-factory. To
avoid damage or operation failure which may be caused by improper disassembly, please do
not disassemble units by yourself. If disassembly is needed, please contact our authorized
service centers.

(6) All graphics and information in this manual are only for reference. Manufacturer
reserves the right for changes in terms of sales or production at any time and without prior
notice.

(7) Under the standby status, the unit will consume a little power for ensuring reliability of
the complete unit, maintaining normal communication and preheating refrigerant. When the
unit won’t be used for a long time, please cut off the power of the complete unit. However,
please preheat it when operating the unit next time.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and
user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Correct Disposal of this product: This marking indicates that this product should not be
disposed with other household wastes throughout the EU. To prevent possible harm to the
environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to
promote the sustainable reuse of material resources. To return your used device, please use
the return and collection systems or contact the retailer where the product was purchased.
They can take this product for environmental safe recycling.

Heat Recovery DC Inverter Multi VRF Unit

Please install the unit
according to instructions
in this manual. Read this
manual carefully before
starting up or checking the
machine.

Installation should be
performed by distributor or
qualified personnel. Do
not install the product by
yourself. Improper
installation will result in
water leakage, electric
shock or fire hazard.

Before installation, please
check the power cord if it
complies with the power
supply requirement on the
nameplate. Make sure the
power supply is safe.

This air conditioner must
be properly grounded
through the receptacle to
avoid electric shock. The

ground wire shouldn’t be

connected with gas pipe,
water pipe, lightning
arrester or telephone line.

When installing,
specialized parts and
accessories must be
used. Otherwise, it may
result in water leakage,
electric shock or fire
hazard.

R410A refrigerant can
produce poisonous gas
once it meets fire, so
please ventilate the room
immediately if refrigerant
leaks out during
installation.

Diameter of power cord
must be large enough.
Damaged power cord or
connecting wire must be
replaced by specialized
electric cable.

After the power cord is
connected, please install
the cover of electric box to
avoid danger.

Nitrogen must be charged
according to technical
requirements.

Short circuit is forbidden.
Do not cancel the
pressure switch,
otherwise unit may be
damaged.

For units with wired
controllers, do not connect
power supply until the
wired controller is well
installed. Otherwise, the
wired controller cannot be
used.

When installation is
finished, please check
and make sure the drain
pipe, pipeline and electric
wire are all well connected
to avoid water leakage,
refrigerant leakage,
electric shock and fire
hazard.

Do not extend fingers or
objects into air outlet or
the return air grille.

If gas heater or petroleum
heater is used in the same
room, please open the
door or window to
maintain good air
circulation, otherwise an
oxygen shortage may
occur,

1 Safety Precautions

means items that must be forbidden! Otherwise, it may lead to personal injury or death or

serious damage.

means items that must be followed! Otherwise, it may lead to personal injury or property loss.

Heat Recovery DC Inverter Multi VRF Unit

Do not operate or stop the
unit by inserting or pulling
out the power plug.

Do not turn off the unit
until it runs for at least 5
minutes. Otherwise, oil
return of the compressor
will be affected.

Children are not allowed
to operate the air
conditioner.

Do not operate the air
conditioner with wet
hands.

Please turn off and unplug
your air conditioner before
cleaning. Otherwise,
electric shock or personal
injury may occur.

Do not spray water on the
air conditioner or clean it
with water, otherwise
malfunction or electric
shock may occur.

Do not expose the air
conditioner directly under
damp or corrosive
surroundings.

Connect power 8 hours
before operation. Do not
disconnect power when
you want to stop the unit
in a short period of time,
e.g. in one night. (This is
for protecting the
compressor.)

Volatile liquid like thinner
or gasoline will damage
the appearance of air
conditioner. (Please use
soft dry cloth and wet
cloth with mild detergent

to clean unit’s outer case.)

Under cool mode, do not
set the indoor temperature
too low. Keep the
difference between indoor
temp and outdoor temp
within 5℃.

If abnormal condition
occurs (e.g. unpleasant
smell), please turn off the
unit at once and
disconnect power supply.
Then contact Gree
authorized service center.
If the air conditioner
continues to operate
despite of abnormal
condition, it may be
damaged and cause
electric shock or fire
hazard.)

Do not repair the air
conditioner by yourself.
Improper repair will cause
electric shock or fire
hazard. Please contact
Gree authorized service
center and ask
professional personnel to
repair it.

Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai will not assume responsibility for any personal injury or property
loss caused by improper installation, improper test running, and unnecessary repair or not following the
instructions of this manual.

2 Product Introduction

Gree Modular Heat Recovery Multi VRF System adopts inverter compressor technology. By
changing the displacement of compressor, stepless capacity regulation can be realized. Various
product lineups are provided with capacity range from 22.4kW to 180kW, and indoor units within a
same system can operate in cooling or heating mode in the meantime. This system can be widely
used in commercial and working area and is especially applicable to places with big load change.
Gree commercial multi VRF system is absolutely your best choice.

(3) Outdoor units of Modular DC Inverter Heat Recovery System can be connected to multi VRF

indoor units, including cassette type unit, one-way cassette type unit, wall-mounted unit and
duct type unit, as shown in figure 2. When any one of the indoor units receives operating
command, outdoor unit will start operation as per required capacity. When all indoor units stop,
outdoor unit will be shut off. Please note that outdoor unit can’t be connected to indoor unit
directly. Heat pump mode exchanger must be installed between outdoor unit and indoor unit.

Normally, the pipe length from the first indoor branch to the farthest indoor unit is 40m. Under

（1）

the following conditions, the length can reach 90m:
1）Actual length of pipe in total: L1+L2×2+L3×2+L4×2+…+L9×2+a11+b11+…+d21+d22≤1000m;
2）Difference between the pipe length from the first indoor branch to the farthest indoor unit and

the pipe length from the first indoor branch to the nearest indoor unit: L12-L11≤40m.
When the maximum length of the main pipe from outdoor unit to the first indoor branch ≥90m,
