NEVER short-circuit the low pressure switch duringpump down operation.11.3 To pump downDANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSIONPump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pumpdown the system, and there is a leakage in the refrigerantcircuit:▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function,with which you can collect all refrigerant from thesystem into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence:Self-combustion and explosion of the compressorbecause of air going into the operating compressor.▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit'scompressor does NOT have to operate.1 Turn ON the main power supply switch.2 Make sure the liquid stop valve and the gas stop valve areopen.3 Press the pump down button (BS4) for at least 8 seconds. BS4is located on the PCB in the outdoor unit (see wiring diagram).Result: The compressor and outdoor unit fan startautomatically, and the indoor unit fan might start automatically.4 ±2 minutes after the compressor started, close the liquid stopvalve. If it is not closed properly during compressor operation,the system cannot be pumped down.5 Once the compressor stops (after 2~5 minutes), close the gasstop valve.Result: The pump down operation is finished. The userinterface may display " " and the indoor pump may continueoperating. This is NOT a malfunction. Even if you press the ONbutton on the user interface, the unit will NOT start. To restartthe unit, turn OFF the main power supply switch and turn it ONagain.6 Turn OFF the main power supply switch.NOTICEMake sure to reopen both stop valves before restarting theunit.
