7. Test run
7.1. Before test run
I_ After completing
installation
and the wiring
and piping of the indoor and
outdoor
units, check for refrigerant
leakage,
looseness
in the power supply
or control wiring, wrong polarity, and no disconnection
of one phase in the
supply.
I_ Use a 500-volt
megohmmeter
to check that the resistance
between
the
power supply terminals
and ground
is at least 1.0MQ.
I_ Do not carry out this test on the control wiring (tow voltage circuit) terminals.
Warning:
Do not use the air conditioner
if the insulation
resistance
is less than 1.0MQ.
Insulation
resistance
After installation
or after the power source to the unit has been cut for an extended
period, the insulation
resistance will drop below 1 M£_ due to refrigerant
accumulat-
ing in the compressor.
This is not a malfunction.
Perform the following
procedures.
1. Remove the wires from the compressor
and measure the insulation resistance
of
the compressor.
2. If the insulation
resistance
is below 1 M_, the compressor
is faulty or the resis-
tance dropped due the accumulation
of refrigerant
in the compressor.
3. After connecting
the wires to the compressor,
the compressor
will start to warm
up after power is supplied. After supplying
power for the times indicated
below,
measure the insulation
resistance
again.
• The insulation
resistance
drops due to accumulation
of refrigerant
in the com-
pressor.
The resistance
will rise above 1 M£_ after the compressor
is warmed
up for two to three hours.
(The time necessary
to warm up the compressor
varies according
to atmo-
spheric conditions and refrigerant
accumulation.)
• To operate the compressor
with refrigerant
accumulated
in the compressor,
the
compressor
must be warmed up at least 12 hours to prevent breakdown.
4. If the insulation
resistance
rises above 1 M_, the compressor
is not faulty.
_,Caution:
• The compressor
will not operate
unless the power
supply
phase connection
is correct.
• Turn on the power at least 12 hours before
starting
operation.
- Starting operation
immediately
after turning on the main power switch can result
in severe damage
to internal
parts. Keep the power switch turned on during the
operational
season.
1_ The followings
must be checked
as well.
• The outdoor unit is not faulty. LED1 and LED2 on the control board of the outdoor
unit flash when the outdoor unit is faulty.
• Both the gas and liquid stop valves are completely
open.
• A protective sheet covers the surface of the DiP switch panel on the control board of
the outdoor unit. Remove the protective sheet to operate the DIP switches easily.
• Make sure that the all of the SW5 DIP switches for function changes
on the con-
trol board of the outdoor unit are set to OFF. If all of the SW5 switches are not set
to OFF, record the settings and then set all of the switches to OFF. Begin recov-
ering the refrigerant.
After moving the unit to a new location and completing
the
test run, set the SW5 switches to the previously
recorded settings.

* After performing
the test run, set SW4-1 to OFF.
• After power is supplied, a small clicking noise may be heard from the inside of
the outdoor unit. The electronic
expansion
valve is opening and closing. The unit
is not faulty.
• A few seconds
after the compressor
starts, a clanging noise may be heard from
the inside of the outdoor unit. The noise is coming from the check valve due to
the small difference
in pressure
in the pipes. The unit is not faulty.
The test run operation
mode cannot
be changed
by DIP switch SW4-2 during
the test run. (To change
the test run operation
mode during
the test run, stop
the test run by DIP switch
SW4-1. After changing
the test run operation
mode,
resume the test run by switch
SW4-1.)
7.2.2. Using remote controller
Refer to the indoor unit installation manual.
