Refrigerant Charge & Room Area Limitations
For the purpose of determining the room area (A) when calculating the maximum allowable refrigerant charge
(Mmax) in an unventilated space, the following shall apply:
The room area (A) should be defined as the room area enclosed by the projection to the floor of the walls,
partitions, and doors of the space in which the appliance is installed. Spaces connected by only drop ceilings,
ductwork, or similar connections should not be considered a single space.
For units mounted higher than 5.9 feet (1.8 m), the spaces divided by partition walls that are no higher than 5.2
feet (1.6 m) should be considered a single space.
For fixed appliances, the rooms on the same floor and connected by an open passageway between the spaces
can be considered a single room when determining compliance to Amin, if the passageway complies with all of
the following:
• It is a permanent opening.
• It extends to the floor.
• It is intended for people to walk through.
For fixed appliances, the area of the adjacent rooms on the same floor that are connected by permanent
openings in the walls and/or doors between occupied spaces, including gaps between the wall and floor, can be
considered a single room when determining compliance to Amin. The following must be met:
The space must have appropriate openings according to Sec. 2.
The minimum opening area for natural ventilation Anvmin must not be less than the following:

1. Installation
(Where refrigerant pipes are allowed)
- Any individual who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit must hold a valid certificate
from an industry-accredited assessment authority. The certificate authorizes the individual's competence for
handling refrigerants safely in accordance with the specifications of an industry recognized assessment.
- Maintenance and repairs requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel must be carried out under the
supervision of the individual competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
- Keep the installation of the pipe-work to a minimum.
- Protect the pipe-work from physical damage.
- Ensure that the refrigerant pipes comply with national gas regulations.
- Ensure that the mechanical connections are accessible for maintenance purposes.
- Do not allow foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) from entering the piping. In addition, when storing the piping,
securely seal the opening by pinching, taping, etc.
- Competent individuals must carry out all working procedures that affect safety.
- Store the appliance in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for
operation.
- Test the joints using detection equipment with a capability of 5g/year of refrigerant or better. After installation,
ensure that the equipment is at a standstill and maintained under operating pressure, or at least the minimum
standstill pressure.
- In cases that require mechanical ventilation, ensure that the ventilation openings are kept clear of obstruction.
- Leak Detection System Installed: Power the unit except for service.
For units with refrigerant sensors, when the sensor detects refrigerant leakage, the indoor unit will display an
error code and emit a buzzing sound, the outdoor unit's compressor will immediately stop, and the indoor fan will
start running. The service life of the refrigerant sensor is 15 years. When the refrigerant sensor malfunctions, the
indoor unit will display the "FHCC" error code. The refrigerant sensor cannot be repaired and can only be
replaced by the manufacturer. Replace the sensor with one specified by the manufacturer.
(Applicable to units with refrigerant sensors only.)
2. When a flammable refrigerant is used, the requirements for the installation space of the appliance and/or
ventilation are determined according to the:
- Mass charge amount (M) used in the appliance.
- Installation location.
- Ventilation type of the location or appliance.
- Protect the piping material and pipe routing from physical damage during operation and service. Ensure that
the piping material and pipe routing are in compliance with national and local codes and standards, such as
ASHRAE 15, IAPMO Uniform Mechanical Code, ICC International Mechanical Code, or CSA B52. All field joints
must be accessible for inspection prior to being covered or enclosed.
- Protect piping, fittings, and protection devices from adverse environmental effects. For example, water
collecting and freezing in relief pipes or the accumulation of dirt and debris.
Air Conditioner Installation & User Manual
Safety Precautions
1
- Ensure that the piping in the refrigerant system is designed and installed to minimize the likelihood of hydraulic
shock damaging the system.
- Before applying any insulation, protect the steel pipes and components against corrosion with a rustproof
coating.
- Take precautions to avoid excessive vibration or pulsation.
- The minimum floor area of the room is mentioned in the form of a table or single figure without reference to a
formula.
- After completing the field piping for split systems, pressure test the field pipework with an inert gas. Then,
vacuum test the pipework before refrigerant charging. Ensure that the testing is completed according to the
following requirements:
a. The minimum test pressure for the low side of the system must be the low side design pressure and the
minimum test pressure for the high side of the system must be the high side design pressure, unless the high
side of the system cannot be isolated from the low side of the system. If the high side cannot be isolated from the
low side of the system, the entire system must be pressure tested to the low side design pressure.
b. After removing the pressure source, maintain the test pressure for at least 1 hour, ensuring that there is no
decrease of pressure, which is indicated by the test gauge. Ensure that the test gauge resolution does not
exceed 5% of the test pressure.
c. During the evacuation test, after achieving a vacuum level specified in the manual, isolate the refrigeration
system from the vacuum pump and ensure that the pressure does not rise above 1,500 microns within 10
minutes. The appropriate vacuum pressure level is specified in the manual, and must not be less than 500
microns or the value required for compliance with national and local codes and standards. The codes and
standards may vary between residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
- Field-made refrigerant indoor joints must be tightness tested according to the following requirements: The test
method must have a sensitivity of 5 grams per year of refrigerant or better under a pressure of at least 0.25 times
the maximum allowable pressure. No leak should be detected.
3. Qualification of Workers
The working personnel must be qualified to perform any maintenance, service, and repair operations. Competent
individuals must carry out working procedures that affect safety means. The competent individual must complete
the training by national training organizations or manufacturers that are accredited to teach the relevant national
competency standards set in legislation. The individual's competence must be documented by a certificate. All
training must follow the ANNEX HH requirements of UL 60335-2-40 4th Edition.
Examples for such working procedures are:
- breaking into the refrigerating circuit.
- opening of sealed components.
- opening of ventilated enclosures.
4. Well-Ventilated Area
Before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work, ensure that the area is in the open or is adequately
ventilated. Maintain a degree of ventilation while the work is being carried out. Ensure that the ventilation safely
disperses any released refrigerant and preferably expels it externally into the atmosphere.
5. Cabling
Confirm that the cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or any
other adverse environmental effects. The check should also take into account the effects of aging or continual
vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

6. Detection of Flammable Refrigerants
Do not use potential sources of ignition for searching or detecting refrigerant leaks. Do not use a halide torch or
detector using a naked flame. Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the
refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment must be set at a percentage of the refrigerant LFL, and calibrated to
the refrigerant employed. Confirm the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for refrigerant systems:
Electronic leak detectors: This type of detector can detect refrigerant leaks. However, in the case of flammable
refrigerants, the sensitivity may not be adequate and need recalibration. Calibrate the detection equipment in a
refrigerant-free area.
Leak detection fluids: The bubble method and fluorescent method agents are examples of leak detection
fluids. These are suitable to use with most refrigerants. Avoid using detergents containing chlorine as the
chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
If a leak is suspected, remove or extinguish all naked flames.
If a refrigerant leak is found and requires brazing, recover all the refrigerant from the system or use the shut off
valves to isolate the refrigerant in a part of the system remote from the leak. See the following instructions for
removing refrigerant.
7. Removal and Evacuation
Use conventional procedures when breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose.
However, for flammable refrigerants, it is important to follow this best practice since flammability is a
consideration.
Follow this procedure:
- Safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations.
- Evacuate.
- Purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L).
- Evacuate (optional for A2L).
- Continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using a flame to open the circuit.
- Open the circuit.
Recover the refrigerant charge into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national
codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, purge the system with oxygen-free nitrogen to render
the appliance safe from flammable refrigerants. If needed, repeat this process several times. Do not use
compressed air or oxygen to purge refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, purge the refrigerant by breaking the vacuum in the system
with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved. Then, vent to atmosphere
and finally pull down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). Repeat this process until no refrigerant is present within
the system (optional for A2L). When using oxygen-free nitrogen, vent the system down to atmospheric pressure
to enable work to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition
sources and ventilation is available.

8. Charging Procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, follow these requirements:
- Use only appropriate tools when completing work. In case of uncertainty, consult the manufacturer of the tools
for information on use with flammable refrigerants.
- Ensure that the contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses
or lines must be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
- Keep the cylinders upright.
- Ensure that the refrigerant system is earthed before charging the system with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Take extreme care to not overfill the refrigeration system.
- Prior to recharging the system, it must be pressure tested with oxygen-free nitrogen. Leak test the system after
completing the charging but prior to commissioning. Carry out a follow up leak test before leaving the site.
9. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good
practice to remove refrigerants safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total
system charge are available. Designate all the cylinders intended to be used.
Servicing Information
1. Inspect the Area
Before working on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are required to ensure that the risk
of ignition is minimized. The following precautions must be complied with prior to conducting repairs on the
system.
2. Work Procedure
To minimize the risk of flammable gas or vapor presence, conduct work using controlled procedures.
3. General Work Area
Inform all maintenance staff and individuals working in the local area about the nature of the work being
performed. Avoid working in confined spaces. Section off the area around the workspace. Ensure that the area
is safe by controlling flammable materials.
4. Check for Refrigerant
Check the area with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work to ensure that the technician is
aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment is suitable for flammable
refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed, or intrinsically safe.
5. Fire Extinguisher
If conducting hot work on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts is needed, appropriate fire
extinguishing equipment must be available. Keep a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging
area.

6. No Ignition Sources
Individuals carrying out work involving exposed pipework on a refrigerant system are prohibited from using any
sources of ignition that may lead to a risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, such as cigarette
smoking, must be performed at a sufficient distance from the installation or maintenance site. Before conducting
work on the equipment, the surrounding area must be surveyed to ensure that there are no flammable hazards
or ignition risks. No Smoking signs must be displayed.
7. Well-Ventilated Area
Ensure that the area is open and well-ventilated before accessing the system or performing any work that
generates heat. Ventilation must be maintained to a certain degree while work is being carried out. The
ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and expel it externally into the atmosphere.
8. Inspect the Refrigeration Equipment
When changing electrical components, they must be fit-for-purpose and meet the correct specifications. Follow
the manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines at all times. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's
technical department for assistance.
For installations using flammable refrigerants, check the following:
- Ensure that the charge size is appropriate for the room in which the refrigerant-containing parts are installed.
- Confirm the ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and not obstructed.
- If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, check the secondary circuit for the presence of refrigerant.
- Confirm the equipment markings are visible and legible. Correct markings and signs that are illegible.
- Install the refrigeration pipe or components in a position that minimizes the risk of corrosion from harmful
substances, unless constructed of corrosion-resistant materials and suitably protected.
9. Inspect the Electrical Devices
Repairing and maintaining electrical components must include initial safety checks and component inspections.
If a fault exists that could compromise safety, do not connect the electrical supply to the circuit until the fault is
resolved. If the fault cannot be immediately corrected but it is necessary to continue operation, a temporary
solution must be implemented. If a temporary solution is implemented, it must be reported to the owner of the
equipment, ensuring both parties are informed.
Initial safety checks must include the following:
- Confirm the capacitors are discharged. Ensure that this is done in a safe manner to avoid the possibility of
sparking.
- Ensure that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering, or purging the
system.
- Confirm there is continuity of earth bonding.
10. Replace Sealed Electrical Components If It's Damaged.
11. Replace Intrinsically Safe Components If It's Damaged.
12. Cabling
Confirm that the cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or
any other adverse environmental effects. The check should also take into account the effects of aging or
continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

13. Detection of Flammable Refrigerants
Do not use potential sources of ignition for searching or detecting refrigerant leaks. Do not use a halide torch or
detector using a naked flame. Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the
refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment must be set at a percentage of the refrigerant LFL, and calibrated to
the refrigerant employed. Confirm the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum).
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for refrigerant systems:
Electronic leak detectors: This detector can detect refrigerant leaks. However, in the case of flammable
refrigerants, the sensitivity may not be adequate and need recalibration. Calibrate the detection equipment in a
refrigerant-free area.
Leak detection fluids: The bubble method and fluorescent method agents are examples of leak detection fluids.
These are suitable to use with most refrigerants. Avoid using detergents containing chlorine as the chlorine may
react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
If a leak is suspected, remove or extinguish all naked flames.
If a refrigerant leak is found and requires brazing, recover all the refrigerant from the system or use the shut off
valves to isolate the refrigerant in a part of the system remote from the leak. See the following instructions for
removing refrigerant.
14. Removal and Evacuation
Use conventional procedures when breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose.
However, for flammable refrigerants, it is important to follow this best practice since flammability is a
consideration.
Follow this procedure:
- Safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations.
- Evacuate.
- Purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L).
- Evacuate (optional for A2L).
- Continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using a flame to open the circuit.
- Open the circuit.
Recover the refrigerant charge into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national
codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, purge the system with oxygen-free nitrogen to render
the appliance safe from flammable refrigerants. If needed, repeat this process several times. Do not use
compressed air or oxygen to purge refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, purge the refrigerant by breaking the vacuum in the system
with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved. Then, vent to atmosphere
and finally pull down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). Repeat this process until no refrigerant is within the system
(optional for A2L). When using oxygen-free nitrogen, vent the system down to atmospheric pressure to enable
work to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and
ventilation is available.

15. Charging Procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, follow these requirements:
- Use only appropriate tools when completing work. In case of uncertainty, consult the manufacturer of the tools
for use with flammable refrigerants.
- Ensure that the contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses
or lines must be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
- Keep the cylinders upright.
- Ensure that the refrigerant system is earthed before charging the system with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Take extreme care to not overfill the refrigeration system.
- Prior to recharging the system, it must be pressure tested with oxygen-free nitrogen. Leak test the system after
completing the charging but prior to commissioning. Carry out a follow up leak test before leaving the site.
16. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment
and all its details. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to carrying out
the task, take an oil and refrigerant sample in case an analysis is required prior to re-using the recovered
refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operations.
b) Isolate the system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that
- Mechanical handling equipment is available for handling refrigerant cylinders.
- All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly.
- A competent individual is supervising the recovery process at all times.
- Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down the refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that the refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the
system.
f) Make sure that the cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate it in accordance with the instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80% volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process is completed, make sure that the cylinders and
equipment are removed from the site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
k) Do not charge recovered refrigerant into another refrigeration system, unless it has been cleaned and
checked.

17. Labeling
Label the equipment stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. Make sure to date and
sign the label. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, ensure that there are labels on the equipment
stating it contains flammable refrigerant.
18. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good
practice to remove refrigerants safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total
system charge are available. Designate all the cylinders intended to be used for the recovered refrigerant and
label them for that refrigerant (i.e., special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders must be complete
with pressure-relief valves. The associated shut-off valves must be in good working order. Evacuate empty
recovery cylinders and, if possible, allow them to cool before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment must be in good working condition with a set of instructions concerning the equipment
that is at hand. In addition, the recovery equipment must be suitable for the recovery of the flammable
refrigerant. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales must be
available and in good working order. Hoses must be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good
condition.
The recovered refrigerant must be processed according to local legislation in the correct recovery cylinder. In
addition, the relevant waste transfer note must be arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in the recovery unit and
especially not in the cylinders.
If removing compressors or compressor oils, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to
make sure that flammable refrigerant does not remain with the lubricant. The compressor body must not be
heated by an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system,
it must be carried out safely.
19. Transportation, Marking, and Storage for Units
- Transport equipment containing flammable refrigerants (Compliance with the transport regulations).
- Mark the equipment using signs (Compliance with local regulations).
- Dispose of equipment using flammable refrigerants (Compliance with national regulations).
- Store the equipment/appliance (Compliance with the manufacturer's instructions).
- Store packed (unsold) equipment. Construct the storage package protection in a way that potential
mechanical damage to the equipment inside the package will not cause a leak of the refrigerant charge. Local
regulations determine the maximum amount of equipment permitted to be stored together.

The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The
unit cannot be restarted within 3 minutes of being turned off.
Cooling and Heating mode: If the operation light and PRE-DEF (pre-heating/defrost)
indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold, activating the unit's anti-cold
wind feature in order to defrost the unit.
In Cooling-only mode: If the Fan-Only indicator is lit up, the outdoor temperature is
too cold, activating the unit's anti-freeze protection in order to defrost the unit.
The unit may change its settings to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once
the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the previously selected
mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the
compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room's air and the
conditioned air can cause white mist.
When the unit restarts in Heating mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted
due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its position.
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is off or in Cooling mode. The noise is
also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in Heating mode, due to
expansion and contraction of the unit's plastic parts.
Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and caused by refrigerant
gas flowing through both the indoor and outdoor units.
Low hissing sound when the system starts, stops running, or defrosting: This noise is
normal and caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts
caused by temperature changes during operation can cause squeaking noises.
