●When refrigerant pipe diameter is different from that of outdoor unit union (for 18K&24K indoorunit),
additional transfer connector needs to be used on outdoor unit union.

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 efficiencydrops.
●Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillarytubing.
●Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerantsystem.
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

17
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 serviceport..
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 wayvalve.

2. Adding the refrigerant if the pipe length >5m
Procedure:
1). Connect the charge hose to the charging cylinder, open the 2-way valve and the 3-wayvalve.
Connect the charge hose which you disconnected from the vacuum pump to the valve at the bottom of the
cylinder. If the refrigerant is R410A, make the cylinder bottom up to ensure the liquid charge.
2). Purge the air from the charge hose.
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 theweight.
4) Operate the air conditioner at the cooling mode.
5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with liquidrefrigerant.
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.
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.

8.5 Adding the refrigerant after running the system for many years
Procedure:
1). Connect the charge hose to the 3-way service port, open the 2-way valve and the 3-wayvalve.
Connect the charge hose to the valve at the bottom of the cylinder. If the refrigerant is R410A, make the
cylinder bottom up to ensure liquid charge.
2). Purge the air from the charge hose.
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 theweight.
4) Operate the air conditioner at the cooling mode.
5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with liquidrefrigerant.
6).When the electronic scale displays the proper weight (refer to the gauge and the pressure of the low side),
disconnect the charge hose from the 3-way valve’s service port immediately and turn off the air conditioner
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.
