CAUTION
Do NOT touch the air inlet or aluminium fins of the unit.
CAUTION
▪Do NOT place any objects or equipment on top of the unit.
▪Do NOT sit, climb or stand on the unit.
NOTICE
Works executed on the outdoor unit are best done under dry weather conditions to
avoid water ingress.
In accordance with the applicable legislation, it might be necessary to provide a
logbook with the product containing at least: information on maintenance, repair
work, results of tests, stand-by periods,…
Also, at least, following information MUST be provided at an accessible place at the
product:
▪Instructions for shutting down the system in case of an emergency
▪Name and address of fire department, police and hospital
▪Name, address and day and night telephone numbers for obtaining service
In Europe, EN378 provides the necessary guidance for this logbook.

Daikin Altherma 3 R F
4P618947-1 – 2020.03
NOTICE
Make sure refrigerant piping installation complies with applicable legislation. In
Europe, EN378 is the applicable standard.
NOTICE
Make sure the field piping and connections are NOT subjected to stress.
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.
▪In case of R410A or R32 refrigerant: Toxic gas might be produced if refrigerant
gas comes into contact with fire.
▪In case of CO2 refrigerant: Refrigerant gas is toxic in high concentrations.
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: Self-
combustion 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.
▪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")
Charge with the cylinder upright.
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.

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.
Install power cables at least 1 m away from televisions or radios to prevent
interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 m 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.
