13.3. ConnectingthePCconguratortotheoutdoorunit
Connection of the optional PC congurator cable to the outdoor unit
has to be done on A1P. Connect the EKPCCAB* cable to the 5-pin
blue connector X27A.
CAUTION
Works executed on the outdoor unit are best done under dry weather
conditions to avoid water ingress.

14. Charging refrigerant
14.1. Precautions
NOTE
• Refrigerant cannot be charged until eld wiring has been completed.
• Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the leak test and
the vacuum drying.
• When charging a system, care shall be taken that its maximum
permissible charge is never exceeded, in view of the danger of
liquid hammer.
• Charging with an unsuitable substance may cause explosions and
accidents, so always ensure that the appropriate refrigerant R410A
is charged.
• Refrigerant containers shall be opened slowly.
• Always use protective gloves and protect your eyes when charging
refrigerant.
• When the refrigerant system is to be opened, refrigerant must be
treated according to the applicable legislation.
DANGER
See Safety considerations on pagei.
• To avoid compressor breakdown. Do not charge the refrigerant
more than the specied amount.
• This outdoor unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending
on pipe sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional
charging of refrigerant. See 14.2. Calculating the additional refriger-
ant charge.
• In case recharge is required, refer to the nameplate of the unit.
It states the type of refrigerant and necessary amount.
14.2. Calculating the additional refrigerant charge
NOTE
The refrigerant charge of the system must be less than 210 lbs.
(100 kg). This means that in case the calculated total refrigerant
charge is equal to or more than 209 lbs. (95 kg) you must divide your
multiple outdoor system into smaller independent systems, each
containing less than 209 lbs. (95 kg) refrigerant charge. For factory
charge, refer to the unit nameplate.
14.2.1. How to calculate the additional refrigerant to be charged
Additional refrigerant to be charged=R (lbs.). R should be rounded off
in units of 0.1 lbs.
R=[(X
