Evacuation
(1) Attach the charge hose end described in the preceding
steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and
indoor unit. Confirm that the "Lo" knob of the manifold
valve is open. Then, run the vacuum pump. The operation
time for evacuation varies with the tubing length and
capacity of the pump. The following table shows the
amount of time for evacuation:
Required time for evacuation
when 30 gal/h vacuum pump is used
If tubing length is
less than 15 m
45 min. or more
Evacuation is not necessary for the balance tube if only 1
outdoor unit is installed.
NOT E
The required time in the above table is calculated based on the
assumption that the ideal (or target) vacuum condition is less
than –101 kPa (–755 mmHg, 5 Torr).
(2) When the desired vacuum is reached, close the "Lo"
knob of the manifold valve and turn off the vacuum pump.
Confirm that the gauge pressure is under –101 kPa
(–755 mmHg, 5 Torr) after 4 to 5 minutes of vacuum pump
operation. (Fig. 6-4)

Charging additional refrigerant
● Charging additional refrigerant (calculated from the liquid
tube length as shown in Section 1-8 "Additional Refrigerant
Charge") using the liquid tube service valve. (Fig. 6-5)
● Use a balance or scale to measure the refrigerant accurately.
● If the additional refrigerant charge amount cannot be
charged at once, charge the remaining refrigerant in liquid
form by using the suction tube service valve with the system
in Cooling mode at the time of test run. (Fig. 6-6)
● Close the valve on the cylinder containing R410A.
