HARGING REFRIGERANT
The outdoor unit is factory charged, but depending on the length of
the piping when installed, the outdoor unit may require additional
charging.
For charging the additional refrigerant follow the procedure as
described in this chapter.
Refrigerant cannot be charged until all field wiring and field
piping has been completed.
Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the leak
test and the vacuum drying.
The refrigerant charge of the system must be less than
100 kg. This means that in case the calculated refrigerant
charge is equal to or more than 95 kg you must divide your
multiple outdoor system into smaller independent systems,
each containing less than 95 kg refrigerant charge.
For factory charge, refer to the unit name plate.

11.1. Precautions when adding R410A

Be sure to charge the specified amount of refrigerant in liquid state to
the liquid pipe.
Since this refrigerant is a mixed refrigerant, adding it in gas form may
cause the refrigerant composition to change, preventing normal
operation.
Before charging, check whether the refrigerant cylinder is
equipped with a siphon tube or not.
Charge the liquid
refrigerant with the
cylinder in upright
position.
Be sure to use tools exclusively for R410A to ensure required
pressure resistance and to prevent foreign materials from mixing
into the system.
Charging with an unsuitable substance may cause
explosions and accidents, so always make sure that the
appropriate refrigerant (R410A) is charged.
Refrigerant containers must be opened slowly.

11.2. Stop valve operation procedure

Do not open the stop valve until all piping and
electrical
steps
installation conditions" on page 15 are completed. If
the stop valve is left open without turning on the
power, it may cause refrigerant to build up in the
compressor, leading to insulation degradation.
Always use a charge hose for service port connection.
After tightening the cap, check that no refrigerant
leaks are present.
Size of stop valve
The sizes of the stop valves connected to the system are as listed in
the table below.

Turn it until the shaft stops.
Do not apply excessive force to the stop valve. Doing
so may break the valve body, as the valve is not a
backseat type. Always use the special tool.

Make sure to tighten the cap securely.
For the tightening torque, refer to the table above.

11.3. How to check how many units are connected

It is possible to find out how many indoor units are active and
connected by operating the push-button switch on the printed circuit
board (A1P) of the working outdoor unit. In a multiple outdoor unit
system, you can find out how many outdoor units are connected to
the system by using the same procedure.
Make sure that all the indoor units connected to the outdoor unit are
active.
Follow the 5-step procedure as explained below.
The LEDs on the A1P shows the operating status of the outdoor
unit and the number of indoor units that are active.

The number of units that are active can be read from the LED
display in the "Monitor Mode" procedure below.
Example: in the following procedure there are 22 units active:
