2TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
ENGLISH
• Excessive cooling may be harmful to your health and may consume more electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air condition-
er is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION 17
ENGLISH
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated 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 refrigeration system.
Therefore, the indoor/outdoor unit and connecting tube must be checked for leak tight, and vacu-
umed to remove incondensible gas and moisture in the system.
Preparation
- Check that each tube (both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units
have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run have been completed. Remove the
service valve caps from both the gas and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Check that both the
liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.
Leakage test
- Connect the manifold valve (with pressure gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service
port with charge hoses.
- Pressurize the system to no more than 3.8 MPa with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder
valve when the gauge reading reached 3.8 MPa Next, test for leaks with liquid soap.
CAUTION
Be sure to use a manifold valve for leakage test. If it is not available, use a stop valve for this
purpose. The "Hi" knob of the manifold valve must always be kept close.
!
CAUTION
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must
be higher than its bottom when you pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in a ver-
tical standing position.

18 LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION
ENGLISH
Evacuation
- Connect the charge hose end described in the
preceding steps to the vacuum pump to evac-
uate the tubing and indoor unit. Confirm the
"Lo and Hi" knob of the manifold valve is open.
Then, run the vacuum pump. The operation
time for evacuation varies with tubing length
and capacity of the pump. The following table
shows the time required for evacuation.
- When the desired vacuum is reached, close
the "Lo and Hi" knob of the manifold valve
and stop the vacuum pump.
Finishing the job
- With a service valve wrench, turn the valve
stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise
to fully open the valve.
- Turn the valve stem of gas side valve count-
er-clockwise to fully open the valve.
- Loosen the charge hose connected to the
gas side service port slightly to release the
pressure, then remove the hose.
- Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the
gas side service port and fasten the flare nut
securely with an adjustable wrench. This
process is very important to prevent leakage
from the system.
- Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid
side service valves and fasten them tight.
This completes air purging with a vacuum
pump.
The air conditioner is now ready to test run.
1Do a leakage test of all joints of the tubing
(both Indoor unit and outdoor unit) and
both gas and liquid side service valves.
Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe
off the soap with a clean cloth.
2After the system is found to be free of
leaks, relieve the nitrogen pressure by
loosening the charge hose connector at
the nitrogen cylinder. When the system
pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect
the hose from the cylinder.

1Precautions In Test Running
- The initial power supply must provide at least 90% of the rated voltage.
Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated.
CHECK THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WHEN INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE
- After completing work, be sure to measure and record trial run properties, and store measured
data, etc.
- Measuring items are room temperature, outside temperature, suction temperature, blow out
temperature, wind velocity, wind volume, voltage, current, presence of abnormal vibration and
noise, operating pressure, piping temperature, compressive pressure.
- As to the structure and appearance, check following items.
- The test run is started by pressing the room temperature checking button and down timer
button for 3 seconds at the same time.
- To cancel the test run, press any button.
CAUTION
• For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heating season. If heating oper-
ation is carried out firstly, it leads to the trouble of compressor. Then attention must be paid.
• Carry out the test run more than 5 minutes without fail.
(Test run will be cancelled 18 minutes later automatically)

2Connection of power supply
- Connect the power supply cord to the independent power supply.
Circuit breaker is required.
- Operate the unit for fifteen minutes or more.
3Evaluation of the performance
- Measure the temperature of the intake and discharge air.
- Ensure the difference between the intake temperature
and the discharge one is more than 8°C (Cooling) or
reversely (Heating).

HAND OVER
Teach the customer the operation and maintenance procedures, using the operation manual
(air filter cleaning, temperature control, etc.).
CAUTION
After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner. As for the method of
wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram pasted on the inside of control box cover.
2Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.
3The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose
from vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check
them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could give rise to
burn-out of the wires.)
4Specification of power source
5Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
6Be sure that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage
marked on the name plate.
7Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)
8Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.
9The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.
- Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of fuse breaking, distur-
bance to the normal function of a overload protection device.
- Proper starting power is not given to the compressor.
10 Use only 1 remote-controller contained in indoor unit, when using simultaneous operation
system as shown below.
After setting the ESP value in the Ceiling Concealed Duct Type Indoor Unit, the main power
turns off and then remove the remote controller. (Only for synchro combination, over
36kBtu/h)
