NOTICE
To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more than the specified amount of
refrigerant.
Prerequisite: Before charging refrigerant, make sure the refrigerant piping is
connected and checked (leak test and vacuum drying).
1 Connect the refrigerant cylinder to the service port.
2 Charge the additional refrigerant amount.
3 Open the gas stop valve.
If pump down is needed in case of dismantling or relocating the system, see
"16.2To pump down"[470] for more details.

f GWP = Global Warming Potential
NOTICE
Applicable legislation on fluorinated greenhouse gases requires that the refrigerant
charge of the unit is indicated both in weight and CO
2
equivalent.
Formula to calculate the quantity in CO
2
equivalent tonnes: GWP value of the
refrigerant × total refrigerant charge [in kg] / 1000
Use the GWP value mentioned on the refrigerant charge label.
2 Fix the label on the inside of the outdoor unit near the gas and liquid stop
valves.
8.8 To check for refrigerant leaks after charging
INFORMATION
Applicable ONLY for combination with indoor units CVXM-A9, FVXM-A9.
All field made refrigerant joints must be tested for tightness.
No leak shall be detected with a test method that has a sensitivity of 5 grams
refrigerant per year or better, at a pressure of at least 0.25times the maximum
working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit name plate).
