1 Refrigerant piping & refrigerant charge
14.6 REFRIGERANT CHARGING QUANTITY
In case of the actual piping length is more than the specified length, the additional refrigerant quantity should be charged according
to the table below:
RAS-2HVNP
RAS-2.5HVNP
RAS-3HVNC
RAS-3HVRNS3
1 Determine an additional refrigerant quantity according to the following procedure, and charge it into the system.
2 Record the additional refrigerant quantity to facilitate service activities thereafter.
C A U T I O N
•
When charging refrigerant accurately measure refrigerant to be charged.
•
Overcharging or undercharging of refrigerant can cause compressor trouble.
•
In case of actual piping length less than 5 m, consult your distributor.

Setting of Pipe Length DSW.
DSW2 setting will be required only when the refrigerant pipe leng-
th is shorter than 5 m or longer than 30 m. Pipe length setting
shall be performed as shown below.
