Electrical Safety Checks
BEFORE TEST RUN
DURING TEST RUN
After installation, confirm that all electrical wiring is
installed in accordance with local and national
regulations, and according to the Installation
Manual.
Check Grounding Work
Measure grounding resistance by visual detection
and with grounding resistance tester. Grounding
resistance must be less than 4.
Note: This may not be required for some locations
in the US.
Check for Electrical Leakage
During the Test Run, use an electroprobe and
multimeter to perform a comprehensive electrical
leakage test.
If electrical leakage is detected, turn off the unit
immediately and call a licensed electrician to find
and resolve the cause of the leakage.
Note: This may not be required for some locations
in the US.
There are two different methods to check for
gaseous leaks.
Soap and Water Method
Using a soft brush, apply soapy water or liquid
detergent to all pipe connection points on the
indoor unit and outdoor unit. The presence of
bubbles indicates a leak.
Leak Detector Method
If using leak detector, refer to the device’s opera-
tion manual for proper usage instructions.
