● Refrigerant pipe diameter is different according to indoor unit to be connected. When using the
extension pipe, refer to the tables below.
● When refrigerant pipe diameter is different from that of outdoor unit union (for 18K indoor unit), additional

8.4 Installation for the first time
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as below:
● Pressure in the system rises.
● Operating current rises.
● Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
● Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
● Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system.
Therefore, the indoor units and the pipes between indoor and outdoor units must be leak tested and
evacuated to remove gas and moisture from the system.
Gas leak check (Soap water method):
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connections or outdoor unit
connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points of the piping. If bubbles come out,
the pipes have leakage.
1. Air purging with vacuum pump

1) Completely tighten the flare nuts of the indoor and outdoor units, confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way
valves are set to the closed position.
2) Connect the charge hose with the push pin of handle lo to the 3-way valves gas service port..
3) Connect the charge hose of handle hi connection to the vacuum pump.
4) Fully open the handle Lo of the manifold valve.
5) Operate the vacuum pump to evacuate.
6) Make evacuation for 30 minutes and check whether the compound meter indicates -0.1Mpa. If
the meter does not indicate -0.1Mpa after pumping 30 minutes, it should be pumped 20 minutes more. If the
pressure can’t achieve -0.1Mpa after pumping 50 minutes, please check if there are some leakage points.
Fully close the handle Lo valve of the manifold valve and stop the operation of the vacuum pump. Confirm
that the gauge needle does not move (approximately 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum pump).
7) Turn the flare nut of the 3-way valves about 45° counterclockwise for 6 or 7seconds after the gas
coming out, then tighten the flare nut again. Make sure the pressure display in the pressure indicator is a
little higher than the atmosphere pressure. Then remove the charge hose from the 3 way valve.
8) Fully open the 2 way valve and 3 way valve and securely tighten the cap of the 3 way valve.
2. Air purging by refrigerant

Procedure:
1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the closed position.

2-way valve approximately 45’ for 3 seconds then closing it for 1 minute; repeat 3 times.
After purging the air, use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut on the 2-way valve.
4). Check the gas leakage.
Check the flare connections for gas leakage.
5). Discharge the refrigerant.
Close the valve on the charging cylinder and discharge the refrigerant by loosening the flare nut on the
2-way valve approximately 45’ until the gauge indicates 0.3 to 0.5 Mpa.
6). Disconnect the charge set and the charging cylinder, and set the 2-way and 3-way valves to the open
position.
Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate the valve stems.
7). Mount the valve stems nuts and the service port cap.

Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and press the check valve on the charge set to purge the air (be
careful of the liquid refrigerant).
3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic scale and record the weight.
4) Operate the air conditioner at the cooling mode.
5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
6).When the electronic scale displays the proper weight (refer to the table), disconnect the charge hose from
the 3-way valve’s service port immediately and turn off the air conditioner before disconnecting the hose.

before disconnecting the hose.
7). Mount the valve stem caps and the service port
Use torque wrench to tighten the service port cap to a torque of 18N.m.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
8.6 Re-installation while the indoor unit need to be repaired
1. Collecting the refrigerant into the outdoor unit

Procedure
1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the opened position
Remove the valve stem caps and confirm that the valve stems are in the opened position.
Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate the valve stems.
2). Connect the charge hose with the push pin of handle lo to the 3-way valves gas service port.
3). Air purging of the charge hose.
Open the handle Lo valve of the manifold valve slightly to purge air from the charge hose for 5 seconds and
then close it quickly.
4). Set the 2-way valve to the close position.

8.7 Re-installation while the outdoor unit need to be repaired
1. Evacuation for the whole system

Procedure:
1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the opened position.
2). Connect the vacuum pump to 3-way valve’s service port.
3). Evacuation for approximately one hour. Confirm that the compound meter indicates -0.1Mpa.

Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and press the check valve on the charge set to purge the air (be
careful of the liquid refrigerant).
3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic scale and record the weight.
4). Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with liquid refrigerant
If the system cannot be charge with the specified amount of refrigerant, or can be charged with a little at a
time (approximately 150g each time) , operating the air conditioner in the cooling cycle; however, one time is
not sufficient, wait approximately 1 minute and then repeat the procedure.
5).When the electronic scale displays the proper weight, disconnect the charge hose from the 3-way valve’s
service port immediately
If the system has been charged with liquid refrigerant while operating the air conditioner, turn off the air
conditioner before disconnecting the hose.
6). Mounted the valve stem caps and the service port
Use torque wrench to tighten the service port cap to a torque of 18N.m.
Be sure to check for gas leakage

For M5OD-42HFN1-Q.There are one low-pressure centralized valve and one high-pressure centralized
valve, it will be more time saving when vacumm and recycle refrigerant. But refer to the previous instruction
when vacumm and recycle refrigerant.

Decrease the frequency to COOL_F4 and run at COOL_F4 for
3 minutes.
After that, the frequency will be adjusted according to the
capacity demand and rise to the upper level every 3 minutes
(When the frequency>COOL_F4 via capacity demand).
If the current frequency is lower than COOL_F4, the frequency will not be limited.
After 10s of the compressor start, if the current>ICOOL, the AC will display the failure for 30 seconds and stop. The AC
will restart 3 minutes later.
Decrease the frequency to HEAT_F4 and run at HEAT_F4 for

3 minutes.
After that, the frequency will be adjusted according to the
capacity demand and rise to the upper level every 3 minutes
(When the frequency>Heat_F4 via capacity demand).
If the current frequency is lower than HEAT_F4, the frequency will not be limited.
After 10s of the compressor start, if the current>IHEAT, the AC will display the failure for 30 seconds and stop. The AC
will restart 3 minutes later.
9.5.5 Indoor / outdoor units communication protection
If the indoor units can not receive the feedback signal from the outdoor units for 2 minutes, the AC will stop
and display the failure.
9.5.6 High condenser coil temp. protection.
When T3>65℃ for 3 seconds, the compressor will stop while the indoor fan and outdoor fan will continue.
When T3<52℃, the protection will release and the compressor will restart after 3 minutes.
9.5.7 Outdoor unit anti-freezing protection
For other models: When T2B<0℃ for 250 seconds, the indoor unit capacity demand will be zero and resume
to normal when T2B>10℃.
For M2OD-16HFN1-Q,M2OD-18HFN1-Q,M5OD-42HFN1-Q: When T2<4℃ for 250 seconds or T2<0℃,
the indoor unit capacity demand will be zero and resume to normal when T2>8℃ and the time of protection
is no less than 3 minutes.
9.5.8 Oil return
Running rules:
1. If the compressor frequency keeps lower than RET_OIL_FREQ1_ADD for RET_OIL_TIME1_ADD, the
AC will rise the frequency to RET_OIL_FREQ2_ADD for RET_OIL_TIME2_ADD and then resume to
former frequency.
2. The EXV will keep 300p while the indoor units will keep the current running mode.
If the outdoor ambient is higher than TempT4HeatLimit_ADD during the oil return, the AC quit oil return.
