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.
11.1. Important information regarding the
refrigerant used
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the
Kyoto Protocol. Do not vent gases into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant type:
R410A
(1)
GWP
value:
1975
(1)
GWP = global warming potential
Please fill in with indelible ink,
the factory refrigerant charge of the product,
the additional refrigerant amount charged in the field and
+
the total refrigerant charge
on the refrigerant charge label supplied with the product.
The filled out label must be adhered in the proximity of the product
charging port (e.g. onto the inside of the service cover).

11.2. Precautions when adding R410A

Be sure to charge the specified amount of refrigerant in liquid state.
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.

11.3. Stop valve operation procedure

Size of stop valve
The sizes of the stop valves connected to the system are as listed in
the table below.
Type of stop valve
8 Hp
Liquid pipe
Suction gas pipe
High pressure/low
pressure gas pipe
(a) The 12 Hp model supports field piping of Ø12.7 on the accessory pipe supplied
with the unit.
(b) The 8 Hp model supports field piping of Ø19.1 on the accessory pipe supplied
with the unit.
The 10 Hp model supports field piping of Ø22.2 on the accessory pipe supplied
with the unit.
The 12~16 Hp models support field piping of Ø28.6 on the accessory pipe
supplied with the unit.
(c) The 8 Hp model supports field piping of Ø15.9 on the accessory pipe supplied
with the unit.
The 14 and 16 Hp models support field piping of Ø22.2 on the accessory pipe
supplied with the unit.
Do not open the stop valve until all piping and
electrical
steps
installation conditions" on page 14 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.

1.
Remove the cap and turn the valve counterclockwise with the
hexagon wrench.
2.
Turn it until the shaft stops.
Do not apply excessive force to the stop valve. Doing
so may break the valve body.
