[5] Refrigerant Amount Adjust Mode
1. Procedures
Follow the procedures below to add or extract refrigerant as necessary depending on the operation mode.
When the function switch (SW4-3) on the main board on the outdoor unit (OC only) is turned to ON, the unit goes into the
refrigerant amount adjust mode, and the following sequence is followed.
SW4-3 on the OS is invalid, and the unit will not go into the refrigerant amount adjust mode.
Operation
When the unit is in the refrigerant amount adjust mode, the LEV on the indoor unit does not open as fully as it nor-
mally does during cooling operation to secure subcooling.
1) Adjust the refrigerant amount based on the values of TH4, TH3, TH6, and Tc, following the flowchart below. Check the TH4,
TH3, TH6, and Tc values on the OC, OS by following the flowchart. The TH4, TH3, TH6, and Tc values can be displayed by
setting the self-diagnosis switch (SW1) on the main board on the OC, OS.
2) There may be cases when the refrigerant amount may seem adequate for a short while after starting the unit in the refrigerant
amount adjust mode but turn out to be inadequate later on (when the refrigerant system stabilizes).
When the amount of refrigerant is truly adequate.
BC controller SC11 is 5ºC [9ºF] or above AND indoor unit SH is between 5 and 15ºC [9 and 27ºF] .
The refrigerant amount may seem adequate at the moment, but may turn out to be inadequate later on.
BC controller SC11 is below 5ºC [9ºF] or the indoor unit SH is below 5ºC [9ºF] .
Wait until the value of SC11 reaches 5ºC [9ºF] or above AND the SH of indoor units is between 5 and 15ºC [9 and 27ºF] to
determine if the refrigerant charge is adequate.
3) High pressure must be at least 2.0MPa [290psi] to enable a proper adjustment of refrigerant amount to be made.
4) Refrigerant amount adjust mode automatically ends 90 minutes after beginning. When this happens, by turning off the SW4-
3 and turning them back on, the unit will go back into the refrigerant amount adjust mode.
