Remove the service panel D (three screws) and the front piping cover A (two screws)
and rear piping cover B (five screws).
1 Perform refrigerant piping connections for the indoor/outdoor unit when the outdoor
unit's stop valve is completely closed.
2 Vacuum-purge air from the indoor unit and the connection piping.
3 After connecting the refrigerant pipes, check the connected pipes and the indoor
unit for gas leaks. (Refer to 4.4. Refrigerant pipe airtight testing method)
4 Vacuumize the refrigerant lines through the service port of the liquid and gas stop
valves. And then open the stop valves completely (for both the liquid and gas stop
valves). This will completely connect the refrigerant lines of the indoor and outdoor
units.
• If the stop valves are left closed and the unit is operated, the compressor and
control valves will be damaged.
• Use a leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks at the pipe connec-
tion sections of the outdoor unit.
• Do not use the refrigerant from the unit to purge air from the refrigerant lines.
• After the valve work is completed, tighten the valve caps to the correct torque:
20 to 25 N·m (200 to 250 kgf·cm).
Failure to replace and tighten the caps may result in refrigerant leakage. In
addition, do not damage the insides of the valve caps as they act as a seal to
prevent refrigerant leakage.
5 Use sealant to seal the ends of the thermal insulation around the pipe connection
sections to prevent water from entering the thermal insulation.
4.4. Refrigerant pipe airtight testing method
(1) Connect the testing tools.
• Make sure the stop valves A B are closed and do not open them.
• Add pressure to the refrigerant lines through the service port C of the liquid
stop valve A and the gas stop valve B.
(2) Do not add pressure to the specified pressure all at once; add pressure little by little.
1 Pressurize to 0.5 MPa (5 kgf/cm
pressure does not decrease.
2 Pressurize to 1.5 MPa (15 kgf/cm
pressure does not decrease.
3 Pressurize to 4.15 MPa (41.5 kgf/cm
perature and refrigerant pressure.
(3) If the specified pressure holds for about one day and does not decrease, the pipes
have passed the test and there are no leaks.
• If the surrounding temperature changes by 1°C, the pressure will change by
about 0.01 MPa (0.1 kgf/cm G). Make the necessary corrections.

(4) If the pressure decreases in steps (2) or (3), there is a gas leak. Look for the source
of the gas leak.
