Information Servicing

1. Checks to the area
   Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.

2. Work procedure
   Works shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.

3. General work area
   All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. work in confined spaces shall be avoided.

4. Checking for presence of refrigerant
   The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants (no sparking, adequately sealed, or intrinsically safe).

5. Presence of fire extinguisher
   If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry power or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

6. No ignition sources
   No person carrying out work in relation to a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM which involves exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.

7. Ventilated area
   Ensure that the area is in the open or that it adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

8. Checks to the refrigeration equipment
   Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations using FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS:
   • The actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
   • The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;
   • If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuits shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
   • Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible, marking and signs that are illegible shall be corrected;
   • Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.

9. Checks to electrical devices
   Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, and adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
   Initial safety checks shall include:
   • That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking
   • That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system
   • That there is continuity of earth bonding

10. Sealed electrical components shall be replaced.

11. Intrinsically safe components must be replaced.

12. Cabling
    Check that cabling is not subjected to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

13. Detection of flammable refrigerants
    Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
    The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for refrigerant systems. Electronic leak detectors that have a sensitivity of 1/8 oz (5g) may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used.
    Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use in external leak detection.
    NOTE: Examples of leak detection fluids are as follows:
    • Bubble method
    • Fluorescent method agents
    If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished.
    If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. See the following instructions of removal of refrigerant.

14. Removal and evacuation
    When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be followed, since flammability is a consideration.
    The following procedure shall be adhered to:
    a. safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;
    b. evacuate;
    c. purge the circuit with nitrogen;
    d. evacuate;
    e. continuously flush or purge with nitrogen when using flame to open circuit; and open the circuit.
    The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. Charging must be performed by liquid charging method. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems.
    For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system (optional for A2L). When the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable
    work to take place.
    The outlet for the vacuum pump shall not be close to any potential ignition sources, and ventilation shall be available.

15. Charging procedures
    In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed:
    • Works shall be undertaken with appropriate tools only. If uncertain, consult the manufacturer of the tools for use with flammable refrigerants.
    • Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
    • Charging must be performed by liquid charging method.
    • Ensure that the refrigeration system is grounded prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
    • Label the system when charging is complete.
    • Extreme care shall be taken to avoid overfilling the refrigeration system.
    • Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure tested with oxygen free nitrogen (OFN). The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but before commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.

16. Decommissioning
    Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of recovered refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
    a. Become familiar with the equipment and its operation
    b. Isolate system electrically
    c. Before attempting the procedure, ensure the following:
    • Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders
    • All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly
    • The recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person
    • Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards
    d. Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
    e. If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
    f. Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
    g. Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with instructions.
    h. Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80% volume liquid charge).
    i. Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder.
    j. When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process complete, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
    k. Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

17. Labeling
    Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. For appliances containing FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT.

18. Recovery
    When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
    When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant (i. e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
    The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition.
    The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
    If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The compressor body shall not be heated by an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.

19. Transportation, marking, and storage for units
    a. Transport of equipment containing flammable refrigerants.
    Compliance with the transport regulations.
    b. Marking of equipment using signs.
    Compliance with local regulations.
    c. Disposal of equipment using flammable refrigerants.
    Compliance with national regulations.
    d. Storage of equipment/appliances
    The storage of equipment should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
    e. Storage of packed (unsold) equipment
    Storage package protection should be constructed such that mechanical damage to the equipment inside the package will not cause a leak of the refrigerant charge. The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together will be determined by local regulations.

Some models are designed with a louver angle memory function. When the unit restarts after a power failure, the angle of the horizontal louvers will automatically return to the previous position.
The angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small as condensation may form and drip into the machine. To reset the louver, press the manual button, which will reset the horizontal louver settings.
Heat Exchanger Dust Removal Function
This feature helps keep the outdoor coil cleaner and may extend the duration between regular maintenance intervals depending on local conditions. When the unit is turned off, a 10 seconds delay occurs and the outdoor fan runs in reverse rotation for 70  seconds to blow off loose accumulated dust and debris.
Sleep Operation
The SLEEP function is used to decrease energy use while you sleep (and you do not need the same temperature settings to stay comfortable). This function can only be activated via remote control. And the Sleep function is not available in FAN or DRY mode.
Press the SLEEP button when you are ready to go to sleep. When in COOL mode, the unit will increase the temperature by 2°F (1°C) after 1 hour, and will increase an additional 2°F (1°C) after another hour.
When in HEAT mode, the unit will decrease the temperature by 2°F (1°C) after 1 hour, and will decrease an additional 2°F (1°C) after another hour.
The sleep feature will stop after 8 hours and the system will keep running with final situation.

Refrigerant Leakage Detection

• When the system detects a malfunction of the refrigerant, the indoor unit will automatically display the following error codes:
  “EL0C (System lacks refrigerant)” ,
  “EHC1 (Refrigerant sensor detects leakage)”,
  “EHC2 (Working condition of the refrigerant sensor is out of range and leakage is detected)”, “EHC3 (Working condition of the refrigerant sensor is out of range)”, or “ECC1 (Other indoor unit refrigerant sensor detects leakage (Multi-zone)”.

• When “EHC1” or “EHC2” error occurs, the buzzer will continue to beep for 5 to 6 minutes before stopping. You can also press any button on the remote controller to stop the buzzer.

protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being turned off.
Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre- heating/Defrost) indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit’s anti-cold wind is activated in order to defrost the unit.
In Cooling-only Models: If the “Fan Only” indicator is lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit’s anti-freeze protection is activated in order to defrost the unit.
The unit changes from COOL/ HEAT mode to FAN mode| The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the previously selected mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
The indoor unit emits white mist| In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room’s air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
Both the indoor and outdoor units emit white mist| When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
The indoor unit makes noises| A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its position.
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in COOL mode. The noise is also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noises| Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both indoor and outdoor units.
Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped running, or is defrosting: This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts caused by temperature changes during operation can cause squeaking noises.
The outdoor unit makes noises| The unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
Dust is emitted from either the indoor or outdoor unit| The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity.
The unit emits a bad odor| The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during operations.
The unit’s filters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
The fan of the outdoor unit does not operate| During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation.
Leak Detection| Leak Detection System installed. Unit must be powered except for service. For the unit with refrigerant sensor, when the refrigerant sensor detects refrigerant leakage, the indoor unit will display a error code and emit a buzzing sound, the compressor of outdoor unit will immediately stop, and the indoor fan will start running. The service life of the refrigerant sensor is 15 years. When the refrigerant sensor malfunctions, the indoor unit will display the error code FHCC. The refrigerant sensor can not be repaired and can only be replaced by the manufacture. It shall only be replaced with the sensor specified by the manufacture.
