3211.4.3. EVACUATION OF THE EQUIPMENTWHEN INSTALLING AN AIR CONDITIONER, BE SURE TO EVACUATE THE AIR INSIDE THE INDOOR UNIT AND PIPES in thefollowing procedure.1. Connect a charging hose with a push pin to the Low side of a charging set and the service port of the 3-way valve.• Be sure to connect the end of the charging hose with the push pin to the service port.2. Connect the center hose of the charging set to a vacuum pump.3. Turn on the power switch of the vacuum pump and make sure that the needle in the gauge moves from 0 cmHg (0 MPa) to-76 cmHg (-0.1 MPa). Then evacuate the air approximately ten minutes.4. Close the Low side valve of the charging set and turn off the vacuum pump. Make sure that the needle in the gauge does notmove after approximately five minutes.Note: BE SURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE IN ORDER TO AVOID REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKAGE.5. Disconnect the charging hose from the vacuum pump and from the service port of the 3-way valve.6. Tighten the service port caps of the 3-way valve at a torque of 18 NOm with a torque wrench.7. Remove the valve caps of both of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve. Position both of the valves to “OPEN” using a hexagonalwrench (4 mm).8. Mount valve caps onto the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.• Be sure to check for gas leakage.11.4.4. CONNECT THE CABLE TO THE OUTDOOR UNIT1. Remove the control board cover from the unit by loosening the screw.2. Connecting cable between indoor unit and outdoor unit shall be approved polychloroprene sheathed 4 (S18HKH/S24HKH) x2.5 mm2 flexible cord, type designation 245 IEC 57 or heavier cord.3. Secure the cable onto the control board with the holder (clamper).4. Attach the control board cover back to the original position with the screw.11.4.5. PIPE INSULATION1. Please carry out insulation at pipe connection portion as mentioned in Indoor/Outdoor Unit Installation Diagram. Please wrapthe insulated piping end to prevent water from going inside the piping.2. If drain hose or connecting piping is in the room (where dew may form), please increase the insulation by using POLY-EFOAM with thickness 6 mm or above.CAUTION• If gauge needle does not move from 0 cmHg (0 MPa) to -76 cmHg (-0.1 MPa), in step above take the following measure:• If the leak stops when the piping connections are tightened further, continue working from step .• If the leak does not stop when the connections are retightened, repair the location of leak.• Do not release refrigerant during piping work for installation and reinstallation. Take care of the liquid refrigerant, it may cause frostbite.
