VRV 5 safety valve unit
4P749917-1 – 2023.09
When the R32 sensor in the SV unit detects a refrigerant leak, the SVS output will
close and activate the alarm. An error message will display on the remote
controllers of the connected indoor units. See "21Troubleshooting"[4118].

SV unit test run
Before SV unit operation, it is required to perform a test run that simulates a
refrigerant leak. See "18.3SV unit test run"[4110] for more details.
13.4.3 Natural ventilation
Natural ventilation is a safety measure where ventilation is made to a place where
sufficient air is available to dilute the leaked refrigerant such as a large space.
The duct connection must be replaced with the duct closing plate accessory (see
"14.5.2To install the duct closing plate"[473]).
The natural ventilation safety measure can be applied by following the steps
below:
Step1 – Determine total room area, which is the total area of the space that has
natural ventilation and the space in which the SV unit is installed:
The respective room area can be determined by projecting the walls, doors and
partitions to the floor and calculating the enclosed area. Spaces connected only
through false ceilings, ductwork, or similar connections are not considered a single
space.
Step 2 – Use the graph or table below to determine the total refrigerant charge
limit in the system:
Note: Round down the derived values.
