Opening the refrigerant connectors
Open the refrigerant taps of the external unit following this order:
• IN tap of motor-condensing unit
• OUT tap of motor-condensing unit
Filling with refrigerant (when necessary)
If distance covered by refrigerant lines is more than 5 m, refrigerant must be added. This operation
must be done after completing installation and start-up of the unit. While compressor is running,
connect the charge cylinder to the low pressure (suction) gas side of compressor and fill with the
right quantity as per table 2.

Oil charge (when necessary)
The compressor is supplied with an initial oil charge. The standard oil charge for the use of the
refrigerants R407C and R134a is a polyester (POE) lubricant Copeland 3MA (32 cSt). In the field,
the oil level could be topped up with ICI Emkarate RL 32 F or Mobil EAL Arctic 22 CC, if 3MA is not
available.
Rotary compressor with R407C is supplied with ester oil VG74.
Reciprocating compressor with R407C is supplied with polyester lubricant.
