4.4 First-Time Installation
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system cause
the following problems:
●Increases in system pressure
●Increases in operating current
●Decreases in cooling and heating efficiency
●Blocks in capillary tubing caused by moisture
in the refrigerant circuit freezing
●Corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system
caused by water
The indoor units and the pipes between
indoor and outdoor units must be tested for
leakages and evacuated to remove gas and
moisture from the system.
Gas leak check with soap water:
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral
detergent on the connections with a soft brush to
check for leakage in the pipe connecting points. If
bubbles emerge, the pipes are leaking.
1. Air Purging Using the Vacuum Pump

port.
3. Connect the charge hose of the Handle Hi to
the vacuum pump.
4. Fully open the Handle Lo of the manifold
valve.
5. Turn on the vacuum pump to begin
evacuation.
6. Conduct a 30-minute evacuation. Check
whether the compound meter indicates -
0.1Mpa(14.5Psi). If the meter does not
indicate -0.1Mpa(14.5Psi) after 30 minutes
has elapsed, continue evacuation for 20 more
minutes. If the pressure does not reach -
0.1Mpa(14.5Psi) after 50 minutes has
elapsed, check if there are any leaks.
Fully close the Handle Lo valve of the manifold
valve and turn off the vacuum pump. After 5
minutes, confirm that the gauge needle is not
moving.
7. Turn the flare nut on the 3-way valve45°
counterclockwise for 6-7 seconds. Once gas
begins to come out, tighten the flare nut.
Make sure the pressure display on the
pressure indicator is higher than atmospheric
pressure. Then remove the charge hose from
the 3-way valve.
8. Fully open the 2-wayand 3-way valves and
securely tighten the cap on the 3-way valve.
2. Adding refrigerant if the pipe length
exceeds chargeless pipe length
Procedure:
1) Connect the charge hose to the charging cylinder
and open the 2-way and 3-way valves.
With the charge hose you disconnected from the
vacuum pump, connect it to the valve at the
bottom of the cylinder.
If the refrigerant is R410A, place the cylinder
bottom-up to ensure liquid charging is possible.
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 (be
careful of the liquid refrigerant).
3) Place the charging cylinder onto the electronic
scale and record the weight.
4) Turn on the air conditioner in cooling mode.
5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set.
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.
7). Mount the valve stem caps and the service port
Use a torque wrench to tighten the service port
cap to a torque of 18N.m(13.27 ft·lbs).
Be sure to check for gas leaks.

4.5 Adding Refrigerant after Long-Term
System Operation
Procedure
1) Connect the charge hose to the 3-way service
port and open the 2-way and 3-way valve.
Connect the charge hose to the valve at the
bottom of the cylinder. If the refrigerant is R410A,
place 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) Place the charging cylinder onto the electronic
scale and record the weight.
4) Turn on the air conditioner in 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 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(13.27 ft·lbs).
Be sure to check for gas leaks.
4.6 Procedure when servicing the indoor
unit refrigeration circuit.
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 t e 2-way valve to the close position.
5). Operate the air conditioner at the cooling cycle
and stop it when the gauge indicates 0.1MPa.
6). Set the 3-way valve to the closed position
immediately
Do this quickly so that the gauge ends up indicating
0.3 to 0.5Mpa.
Disconnect the charge set, and tighten the 2-way
and 3-way valve’s stem nuts.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the 3-way valves
service port cap to a torque of 18N.m.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
2. Air purging with vacuum pump

14
1) Completely tighten the flare nuts of the indoor

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 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 (13.27 ft·lbs).
Always leak check after servicing the refrigerant
system.
For M3OF-27HFN1-M/M4OF-36HFN1-M/M5OF-
48HFN1-M
There are one low-pressure centralized valve and
one high-pressure centralized valve, it will be
more time saving when vacuum and recycle
refrigerant. But refer to the previous instruction
when vacuum and recycle refrigerant.

---- The compressor takes 1 minute to start up the
first time. Further restarts take 3 minutes.
5.3.2 Temperature Protection of Compressor
Discharge.
When the discharge temperature of the
compressor rises, the running frequency is limited
according to the following rules:
----If 105℃(221 ℉)≦T5<110℃(230 ℉),
maintain the current frequency.
----If the temperature increase and T5≧110℃
(230 ℉), decrease the frequency to a lower level
every 2 minutes till to F1.
---If T5≧115℃(239 ℉) for 10 seconds, the
compressor stops and then restart untill T5<90℃
(194 ℉).
