Leakage test and Evacuation
Preparation
• Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units have been
properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the service valve caps
from both the gas and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Check that both the liquid and the gas side ser-

Test running
Test running
1. PRECAUTIONS IN TEST RUNNING
• The initial power supply must provide at least 90 % of the rated voltage.
Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated.
① For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heat-
CAUTION ing season. If heating operation is carried out firstly, it leads to the
trouble of compressor. Then attention must be paid.
② Carry out the test run more than 5 minutes without fail.
(Test run will be cancelled 18 minutes later automatically)
• The test run is started by pressing the room temperature checking button and down timer but-
ton for 3 seconds at the same time.
• To cancel the test run, press any button.
18 Air Conditioner
Test running
CAUTION: After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring
as follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner.
As for the method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram pasted on
the inside of control box cover.
2) Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.
3) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are
liable to come loose from vibrations to which the unit is subjected dur-
ing the course of transportation. Check them and make sure that they
are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could give rise to burn-out of
the wires.)
4) Specification of power source
5) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
6) Be sure that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent
of the rated voltage marked on the name plate.
7) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources
specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)
8) Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.
9) The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.
• Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of fuse
breaking, disturbance to the normal function of a overload protection device.
• Proper starting power is not given to the compressor.

Setting Procedure
1) Set the Dip Switch as follow after shutting the power source down.
WARNING:
• When the green LED of PCB is on, compressor is going to be off because of low
pressure.
• You should return the Dip Switch to operate normally after finishing the operation.
