Connect the manifold gauge to the liquid
side pipe and gas side pipe (when installing
outdoor units in module).
When installing outdoor units in module, connect the manifold
gauge to liquid side pipe and the gas side pipe.
Perform vacuum drying of the liquid side pipe
and gas side pipe (when installing outdoor
units in module) using a vacuum pump.
Make sure that check valve is installed to prevent pump oil from
