5.6.2 Charging refrigerant
The outside unit is factory charged with refrigerant, but depending on
the field piping you have to charge additional refrigerant.
Make sure the outside unit's external refrigerant piping is checked
(leak test, vacuum drying).
Charging additional refrigerant typically consists of the following
stages:
1 Determining how much you have to charge additionally.
2 Charging additional refrigerant (pre-charging and/or charging).
5.6.3 To determine the additional refrigerant
amount
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 module system into
smaller independent systems, each containing less than
209 lbs (95 kg) refrigerant charge. For factory charge, refer
to the unit name plate.
