NOTICE
Take the following precautions on refrigerant piping into account:
▪ Avoid anything but the designated refrigerant to get mixed into the refrigerant
cycle (e.g. air).
▪ Only use R32 when adding refrigerant.
▪ Only use installation tools (e.g. manifold gauge set) that are exclusively used for
R32 installations to withstand the pressure and to prevent foreign materials (e.g.
mineral oils and moisture) from mixing into the system.
▪ Install the piping so that the flare is NOT subjected to mechanical stress.
▪ Protect the piping as described in the following table to prevent dirt, liquid or
dust from entering the piping.
▪ Use caution when passing copper tubes through walls (see figure below).

INFORMATION
Do NOT open the refrigerant stop valve before checking the refrigerant piping. When
you need to charge additional refrigerant it is recommended to open the refrigerant
stop valve after charging.
WARNING
Connect the refrigerant piping securely before running the compressor. If the
refrigerant piping is NOT connected and the stop valve is open when the compressor
is run, air will be sucked in. This will cause abnormal pressure in the refrigeration
cycle, which may result in equipment damage and even injury.
7.2.3 Guidelines when connecting the refrigerant piping
Take the following guidelines into account when connecting pipes:
▪ Coat the flare inner surface with ether oil or ester oil when connecting a flare
nut. Tighten 3 or 4 turns by hand, before tightening firmly.
▪ ALWAYS use 2 wrenches together when loosening a flare nut.
▪ ALWAYS use a spanner and torque wrench together to tighten the flare nut when
connecting the piping. This to prevent nut cracking and leaks.

NOTICE
It is recommended that the refrigerant piping between indoor and outdoor unit is
installed in a ducting or the refrigerant piping is wrapped with finishing tape.
7.3 Checking the refrigerant piping
7.3.1 About checking the refrigerant piping
The outdoor unit's internal refrigerant piping has been factory tested for leaks. You
only have to check the outdoor unit's external refrigerant piping.
Before checking the refrigerant piping
Make sure the refrigerant piping is connected between the outdoor unit and the
indoor unit.
Typical workflow
Checking the refrigerant piping typically consists of the following stages:
1
Checking for leaks in the refrigerant piping.
2
Performing vacuum drying to remove all moisture, air or nitrogen from the
refrigerant piping.
If there is a possibility of moisture being present in the refrigerant piping (for
example, water may have entered the piping), first carry out the vacuum drying
procedure below until all moisture has been removed.
7.3.2 Precautions when checking the refrigerant piping
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the following chapters:
▪ "2 General safety precautions" [4 5]
▪ "7.1 Preparing refrigerant piping" [4 35]
NOTICE
Use a 2-stage vacuum pump with a non-return valve that can evacuate to a gauge
pressure of −100.7 kPa (−1.007 bar)(5 Torr absolute). Make sure the pump oil does
not flow oppositely into the system while the pump is not working.
NOTICE
Use this vacuum pump for R32 exclusively. Using the same pump for other
refrigerants may damage the pump and the unit.
NOTICE
▪ Connect the vacuum pump to the service port of the gas stop valve.
▪ Make sure that the gas stop valve and liquid stop valve are firmly closed before
performing the leak test or vacuum drying.

7.3.3 To check for leaks
NOTICE
Do NOT exceed the unit's maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate).
NOTICE
Make sure to use a recommended bubble test solution from your wholesaler. Do not
use soap water, which may cause cracking of flare nuts (soap water may contain salt,
which absorbs moisture that will freeze when the piping gets cold), and/or lead to
corrosion of flared joints (soap water may contain ammonia which causes a corrosive
effect between the brass flare nut and the copper flare).
1
Charge the system with nitrogen gas up to a gauge pressure of at least
200 kPa (2 bar). It is recommended to pressurize to 3000 kPa (30 bar) in order
to detect small leaks.
2
Check for leaks by applying the bubble test solution to all connections.
3
Discharge all nitrogen gas.

16 Disposal
NOTICE
Do NOT try to dismantle the system yourself: dismantling of the system, treatment of
the refrigerant, oil and other parts MUST comply with applicable legislation. Units
MUST be treated at a specialised treatment facility for reuse, recycling and recovery.
16.1 Overview: Disposal
Typical workflow
Disposing of the system typically consists of the following stages:
1
Pumping down the system.
2
Bringing the system to a specialized treatment facility.
INFORMATION
For more details, see the service manual.
16.2 To pump down
Example: To protect the environment, pump down when relocating the unit or
when disposing of the unit.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump down the system, and there
is a leak in the refrigerant circuit:
▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function, with which you can collect
all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence: Self-
combustion and explosion of the compressor because of air going into the
operating compressor.
▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's compressor does NOT have to
operate.
NOTICE
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before removing the refrigerant
piping. If the compressor is still running and the stop valve is open during pump
down, air will be sucked into the system. Compressor breakdown or damage to the
system can result due to abnormal pressure in the refrigerant cycle.
Pump down operation will extract all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor
unit.
1
Remove the valve cap from the liquid stop valve and the gas stop valve.
2
Carry out forced cooling. See "16.3 To start and stop forced cooling" [4 67].
3
After 5 to 10 minutes (after only 1 or 2 minutes in case of very low ambient
temperatures (<−10°C)), close the liquid stop valve with a hexagonal wrench.
4
Check on the manifold if the vacuum is reached.
5
After 2-3 minutes, close the gas stop valve and stop forced cooling.
