Additional refrigerant
1. The amount of refrigerant put into the outdoor unit
at the factory is sufficient to fill up to 20m of
refrigerant piping work.
2. If the length of the refrigerant piping work is 20m or
less, addition of refrigerant at the installation site is
unnecessary.
3. If the length of the piping work exceeds 20m, extra
refrigerant must be added. Refer to the outdoor
installation manual for details of the extra amounts.
4. Overcharge or undercharge of refrigerant in the
outdoor unit may cause malfunction of the
compressor.

Heat insulation
1. Provide heat insulation on the refrigerant piping on
both the liquid side and gas side separately, and
ensure that all joints in the insulation are compleatly
sealed (without gap).
2. Since the temperature of the piping on the gas side
increases during heating operations, the heat
insulating material used must be able to withstand
temperatures of more than 120°C.
3. Use the pipe insulation supplied in the accessory
pack to insulate the piping connecting section on
the indoor unit side.
