4P561154-1A – 2020.10
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: 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:

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
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.
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.
