Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below:
Pressure in the system rises.
Operating current rises.
Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit must be leak tested
and evacuated to remove any noncondensables and moisture from the system.

● Preparation
Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units
have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove
the service valve caps from both the gas and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Note that
both the liquid and the gas side s ervice valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this
stage.

After complying to the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power circ uit specifically for the air conditioner. As for the
method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control cover.
2) The screw which fasten the wiring in the electrical fitting case are liable to come loose
from vibrations which the unit is subjected during the couse of transportation. Check
them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could cause
burn-out of the wires.)
3) Specificatio of power source.
4) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
5) Check the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage
marked on the nameplate.
6) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power source specification.
7) Always install an earth leakage circuit breaker in a wet or moist area.
8) The following would be caused by voltage drop:
Vibration of a magnetic switch, which will damage the contact point, fuse breaking,
disturbance of the normal function of the overload.
9) The means for disconnection from a power supply shall be incorporated in the fixed
wiring and have an air gap contact separation of at least 3mm in each active(phase)
conductors.
