Using a vacuum pump
Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-fl ow prevention function so that inside oil of the pump does not fl ow backward into pipes of the air conditioner when the pump stops.
(If oil inside of the vacuum pump enters the air conditioner, which use R32, refrigeration cycle trouble may result.)

  1. Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve to the service port of the packed valve at gas side.
  2. Connect the charge hose to the port of the vacuum pump.
  3. Open fully the low pressure side handle of the gauge manifold valve.
  4. Operate the vacuum pump to start evacuating. Perform evacuating for about 15 minutes if the piping length is 20 meters. (15 minutes for 20 meters) (assuming a pump capacity of 27 liters per minute) Then confi rm that the compound pressure gauge reading is –101 kPa (–76 cmHg).
  5. Close the low pressure side valve handle of the gauge manifold valve.
  6. Open fully the valve stem of the packed valves (both gas and liquid sides).
  7. Remove the charging hose from the service port.
  8. Securely tighten the caps on the packed valves.

CAUTION

Gas Leak Test

Check the fl are nut connections for the gas leak with a gas leak detector or soap water.

Remote Control A-B Selection

  • When two indoor units are installed in the same room or adjacent two rooms, if operating a unit, two units may receive the remote control signal simultaneously and operate. In this case, the operation can be preserved by setting either one remote control to B setting. (Both are set to A setting in factory shipment.)
  • The remote control signal is not received when the settings of indoor unit and remote control are different.
  • There is no relation between A setting/B setting and A room/B room when connecting the piping and cables.

To separate using of remote control for each indoor unit in case of 2 air conditioner are installed near.

Remote Control B Setup.

  1. Press [RESET] button on the indoor unit to turn the air conditioner ON.
  2. Point the remote control at the indoor unit.
  3. Push and hold [CHECK] button on the Remote Control by the tip of the pencil. “00” will be shown on the display (Picture 1).
  4. Press [MODE] during pushing [CHECK]. “B” will show on the display and “00” will disappear and the air conditioner will turn OFF. The Remote Control B is memorized (Picture 2).

Note :

  1. Repeat above step to reset Remote Control to be A.
  2. Remote Control A have not “A” display.

APPENDIX

Work instructions

The existing R22 and R410A piping can be reused for inverter R32 product installations.

WARNING: Confirming the existence of scratches or dents on the existing pipes and confirming the reliability of the pipe strength are conventionally referred to the local site.
If the specified conditions can be cleared, it is possible to update existing R22 and R410A pipes to those for R32 models.

Basic conditions needed to reuse existing pipes
Check and observe the presence of three conditions in the refrigerant piping works.

  1. Dry (There is no moisture inside of the pipes.)
  2. Clean (There is no dust inside of the pipes.)
  3. Tight (There are no refrigerant leaks.)

Restrictions for use of existing pipes
In the following cases, the existing pipes should not be reused as they are. Clean the existing pipes or exchange them with new pipes.

  1. When a scratch or dent is heavy, be sure to use new pipes for the refrigerant piping works.
  2. When the existing pipe thickness is thinner than the specified “Pipe diameter and thickness,” be sure to use new pipes for the refrigerant piping works.
    • The operating pressure of R32 is high (1.6 times that of R22). If there is a scratch or dent on the pipe or a thinner pipe is used, the pressure strength may be inadequate, which may cause the pipe to break in the worst case.
  • Pipe diameter and thickness (mm)Pipe outer diameter Ø6.4 Ø9.5 Ø12.7
    Thickness R32, R410A 0.8 0.8

    R22
    3. When the outdoor unit was left with the pipes disconnected, or the gas leaked from the pipes and the pipes were not repaired and refilled.

    • There is the possibility of rain water or air, including moisture, entering the pipe.
    1. When refrigerant cannot be recovered using a refrigerant recovery unit.
      • There is the possibility that a large quantity of dirty oil or moisture remains inside the pipes.
    2. When a commercially available dryer is attached to the existing pipes.
      • There is the possibility that copper green rust has been generated.
    3. When the existing air conditioner is removed after refrigerant has been recovered. Check if the oil is judged to be clearly different from normal oil.
      • The refrigerator oil is copper rust green in color: There is the possibility that moisture has mixed with  the oil and rust has been generated inside the pipe.
      • There is discolored oil, a large quantity of residue, or a bad smell.
      • A large quantity of shiny metal dust or other wear residue can be seen in the refrigerant oil.
    4. When the air conditioner has a history of the compressor failing and being replaced.
      • When discolored oil, a large quantity of residue, shiny metal dust, or other wear residue or mixture of foreign matter is observed, trouble will occur.
    5. When temporary installation and removal of the air conditioner are repeated such as when leased etc.
    6. If the type of refrigerator oil of the existing air conditioner is other than the following oil (Mineral oil), Suniso, Freol-S, MS (Synthetic oil), alkyl benzene (HAB, Barrel-freeze), ester series, PVE only of ether series.
      • The winding-insulation of the compressor may deteriorate.

NOTE
The above descriptions are results have been confirmed by our company and represent our views on our air conditioners, but do not guarantee the use of the existing pipes of air conditioners that have adopted R32 in other companies.

Curing of pipes
When removing and opening the indoor or outdoor unit for a long time, cure the pipes as follows:

  • Otherwise rust may be generated when moisture or foreign matter due to condensation enters the pipes.
  • The rust cannot be removed by cleaning, and new pipes are necessary.
Placement location Term Curing manner
Outdoors 1 month or more Pinching
Less than 1 month Pinching or taping
Indoors Every time
