4 Installation
▪ Drain pan heater. You can use the drain pan heater option
(EKDPH008CA) to prevent freezing-up of the drain pan. For the
installation instructions, see the installation manual of the drain
pan heater.
4.2.4 To prevent the outdoor unit from falling
over
In case the unit is installed in places where strong wind can tilt the
unit, take following measure:
1 Prepare 2 cables as indicated in the following illustration (field
supply).
2 Place the 2 cables over the outdoor unit.
3 Insert a rubber sheet between the cables and the outdoor unit
to prevent the cable from scratching the paint (field supply).
4 Attach the cable's ends. Tighten those ends.

Checking the refrigerant piping

4.4.1

To check for leaks

NOTICE
Do NOT exceed the unit's maximum working pressure (see
"PS High" on the unit name plate).
NOTICE
Make sure to use a recommended bubble test solution
from your wholesaler. Do not use soap water, which may
cause cracking of flare nuts (soap water may contain salt,
which absorbs moisture that will freeze when the piping
gets cold), and/or lead to corrosion of flared joints (soap
water may contain ammonia which causes a corrosive
effect between the brass flare nut and the copper flare).
1 Charge the system with nitrogen gas up to a gauge pressure of
at least 200 kPa (2 bar). It is recommended to pressurize to
3000 kPa (30 bar) in order to detect small leaks.
2 Check for leaks by applying the bubble test solution to all
connections.
3 Discharge all nitrogen gas.
4.4.2

To perform vacuum drying

1 Vacuum the system until the pressure on the manifold indicates
−0.1 MPa (−1 bar).
2 Leave as is for 4-5 minutes and check the pressure:
If the pressure...
Does not change
1×
Then...
There is no moisture in the
system. This procedure is
finished.
