Troubleshooting
Safety

Electricity power is still kept in capacitors even the power supply is shut off. Do not forget to discharge the electricity
power in capacitor.

Electrolytic Capacitors
(HIGH VOLTAGE! CAUTION!)

For other models, please connect discharge resistance (approx.100Ω 40W) or soldering iron (plug) between +, -
terminals of the electrolytic capacitor on the contrary side of the outdoor PCB.

Note: The picture above is only for reference. The plug of your side may be different.

Additional refrigerant charge

 After the vacuum drying process is carried out, the additional refrigerant charge process
need to be performed.
 The outdoor unit is factory charged with refrigerant. The additional refrigerant charge volume
is decided by the diameter and length of the liquid pipe between indoor and outdoor unit.
Refer the following
formula to calculate the charge volume.
Diameter of liquid pipe (mm) Φ6.35 Φ9.52 Φ12.7
Formula V=15g/m×(L-5) V=30g/m×(L-5) V=60g/m×(L-5)

V: Additional refrigerant charge volume (g).

L : The length of the liquid pipe (m).

Note:
 Refrigerant may only be charged after performed the vacuum drying process.
 Always use gloves and glasses to protect your hands and eyes during the charge work.
 Use electronic scale or fluid infusion apparatus to weight refrigerant to be recharged. Be
sure to avoid extra refrigerant charged, it may cause liquid hammer of the compressor or
protections.
 Use supplementing flexible pipe to connect refrigerant cylinder, pressure gauge and outdoor
unit. And the refrigerant should be charged in liquid state. Before recharging, The air in the flexible
pipe and manifold gauge should be exhausted.
 After finished refrigerant recharge process, check whether there is refrigerant leakage at the
connection joint part.(Using gas leakage detector or soap water to detect).
