Indoor unit installation It is recommended to install theY-joint before installing the indoor unit. 1. Place the pattern sheet on the ceiling at the spot where you want to install the indoor unit. • Since the diagram is made of paper, it may shrink or stretch slightly due to temperature or humidity.
Purging the unit On delivery, the indoor unit is loaded with inert gas. All this gas must be purged before connecting the assembly piping. To purge the inert gas, proceed as follows. Unscrew the pinch pipe at the end of each refrigerant pipe. Wet cloth Result : All inert gas escapes from the indoor unit.
Cutting/Flaring the pipes 1. Make sure that you prepared the required tools. (pipe cutter, reamer, flaring tool and pipe holder) 2. If you want to shorten the pipe, cut it using a pipe cutter ensuring that the cut edge remains at 90° with the side of the pipe.
Performing leak test & insulation Leak test LEAK TEST WITH NITROGEN (before opening valves) In order to detect basic refrigerant leaks, before recreating the vacuum and recirculating the R410A, it’s responsible of installer to pressurize the whole system Leak check with nitrogen (using a pressure regulator) at a pressure above 4.1MPa (gauge).
