REFRIGERANT CHARGE
11.5. CAUTION OF THE PRESSURE BY CHECK
JOINT
When the pressure is measured, use the check joint of gas stop
valve (A), and use the check joint of liquid piping (B) in the figure
below.
At that time, connect the pressure gauge according to the
following table because of high pressure side and low pressure
side changes by operation mode.
Check Joint for Gas Stop Valve "A"
Check Joint for Piping "B"
Check Joint for Liquid Stop Valve "C"
NOTE:
Be careful that refrigerant and oil do not splash to the elec-
trical parts at removing the charge hoses.

11.6. REFRIGERANT CHARGE QUANTITY
RASC units has been charged with refrigerant for 20 m (RASC-
3HVRNE) or 30 m (RASC-5HVRNE) of pipe length. It is required
that additional refrigerant be charged according the piping
length if it is longer than 20 m (RASC-3HVRNE) or 30 m (RASC-
5HVRNE).
1. Determine an additional refrigerant quantity according to the
following procedure, and charge it into the system.
2. Record the additional refrigerant quantity to facilitate service
activities thereafter.
CAUTION:
When charging refrigerant accurately measure refrigerant
to be charged.
Overcharging or undercharging of refrigerant can cause
compressor trouble
