In case of a multiple outdoor system, turn on the power of all out-
door units.
Make sure to turn ON the power 6 hours before starting the opera-
tion. This is necessary to warm the crankcase by the electric heater.
If operation is performed within 12 minutes after the indoor and
outdoor units are turned on, the compressor will not operate before
the communication is established in a correct way between outdoor
unit(s) and indoor units.
Before starting charging procedures, check if the segment display
indication of the main printed circuit board (A1P) is as normal (see

There are two methods to charge additional refrigerant. Use the se-
lected method following the described procedure below.

in such a case.
Follow the steps as described below and take into account whether
you want to use the automatic charge function or not.

If the additional refrigerant charge is larger than 22 lbs. (10 kg),
perform step 3 till the end of the procedure.
3 Pre-charging can be done without compressor running by con-
necting the refrigerant tank only to the liquid stop valve service port
(open valve C). Make sure that all outdoor unit stop valves, as well
as valves A and C are closed.

above pre-charging procedure, close valve B.
b) If the total amount of refrigerant could not be charged by
precharging, then close valve B and go to step 5. Follow step 6
depending on the chosen charging method.
INFORMATION
If the total additional refrigerant amount was reached in step 4 (by
pre-charging only), record the amount of refrigerant that was added
on the additional refrigerant charge label provided with the unit and
attach it on the back side of the front panel. Perform the test procedure
