people and property damage, the following
instructions must be followed.
Incorrect operation due to ignoring
instruction will cause harm or damage.
Before service the unit, be sure to
read this service manual at first.

5.4 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 efficiency drops.
●Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may
freeze and block capillary tubing.
●Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigerant system.
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
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 service
port.
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 way
valve.
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-way
valve.
Connect the charge hose which you

17
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 the weight.
4) Operate the air conditioner at the 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 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.
5.5 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-way valve.
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 the weight.
4) Operate the air conditioner at the 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.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
5.6 Re-installation while the indoor unit
need to be repaired
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.

18
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 the 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
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 service
port.
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 way valve.
5.7 Re-installation while the outdoor unit
need to be repaired
1. Evacuation for the whole system
Procedure:
1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way
valves are set to the opened position.
2). Connect the vacuum pump to 3-way valve’s
service port.
3). Evacuation for approximately one hour.
