GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
REFRIGERANT PUMP DOWN
11.1  General consideraons
When the refrigerant should be collected into the outdoor unit due to indoor/outdoor unit 
relocaon, collect the refrigerant as follows:
•  Aach the manifold gauge to the gas stop valve and the liquid stop valve.
•  Turn ON the power source.
•  On outdoor unit PCB set the DSW301- pin1 ON for cooling operaon. 
•  Close the Liquid stop valve on the unit and collect the refrigerant.
•  When the pressure at lower pressure side (gas stop valve) indicates -0.01 MPa (-100 mmHg), 
perform the following procedures immediately.
 ✓ Close the “gas stop valve” or the “High/ Low gas stop valve” depending on the unit series.
 ✓ Set the DSW turned ON before at the OFF side (To stop the unit operaon).
•  Turn OFF the power source.
 ! CAUTION
•  Measure the low pressure by the pressure gauge and keep it not to decrease than -0.01 MPa.  
•  If the pressure is lower than -0.01 MPa, the compressor may be faulty.
