7.4 Installation for the first time  
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below:  
Pressure in the system rises.  
Operating current rises.  
Cooling or heating efficiency drops.  
Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.  
Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system.  
Therefore, the indoor units and the pipes between indoor and outdoor units must be leak tested and  
evacuated to remove gas and moisture from the system.  
Gas leak check (Soap water method):  
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connections and outdoor unit  
connections with a soft brush to check for leakage on the connecting points of the piping. If air bubbles  
come out, the connections have leaks and those connection points must be tightened. Recheck to  
ensure all leakage points are tightened properly and not leaking.

1) Completely tighten the flare nuts of the indoor and outdoor units, confirm that both the 2-way and  
3-way valves are set to the closed position.  
2) Connect the charge hose with the push pin of handle lo to the 3-way valves gas service port..  
3) Connect the charge hose of handle hi connection to the vacuum pump.  
4) Fully open the handle Lo of the manifold valve.  
5) Operate the vacuum pump to evacuate.  
6) Conduct evacuation for 30 minutes and check whether the compound meter indicates -0.1Mpa. If  
the meter does not indicate -0.1Mpa after pumping 30 minutes, it should be pumped 20 minutes more. If  
12  
Heat Controller, Inc.  
VMH SerieS  
Service Manual  
the pressure can’t achieve -0.1Mpa after pumping 50 minutes, please check if there are some leakage  
points. Once the meter indicates -0.1mpa, fully close the handle Lo valve of the manifold valve and stop  
the operation of the vacuum pump. Confirm that the gauge needle does not move (approximately 5  
minutes after turning off the vacuum pump).  
7) Turn the flare nut of the 3-way valves about 45° counterclockwise for 6 or 7seconds after the gas  
comes out, then tighten the flare nut again. Make sure the pressure display in the pressure indicator is a  
little higher than the atmospheric pressure. Then remove the charge hose from the 3 way valve.  
8) Fully open the 2 way valve and 3 way valve and securely tighten the cap of the 3 way valve.  
2. Air purging by refrigerant  
Procedure:  
1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the closed position.  
2). Connect the charge set and a charging cylinder to the service port of the 3-way valve.  
3). Air purge by open the valves on the charging cylinder and the charge set. Purge the air by loosening  
the flare nut on the 2-way valve approximately 45° for 3 seconds then closing it for 1 minute; repeat 3  
times. After purging the air, use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut on the 2-way valve.  
4). Check for gas leakage by checking the flare connections using the soap water method.  
5). Discharge the refrigerant by closing the valve on the charging cylinder and discharging the refrigerant  
by loosening the flare nut on the 2-way valve approximately 45° until the gauge indicates 0.3 to 0.5 Mpa.  
6). Disconnect the charge set and the charging cylinder, and set the 2-way and 3-way valves to the open  
position.  
Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate the valve stems.

3. Adding the refrigerant if the pipe length >(5m)16.5ft  
Electronic scale  
Procedure:  
1). Connect the charge hose to the charging cylinder, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.  
Connect the charge hose which you disconnected from the vacuum pump to the valve at the bottom of  
the cylinder. Because refrigerant is R410A, turn the cylinder upside down, ensuring the bottom is upward,  
to create a liquid charge.  
2). Purge the air from the charge hose.  
Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and press the check valve on the charge set to purge the air  
(be careful of the liquid refrigerant).  
3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic scale and record the weight.  
4) Operate the air conditioner in the cooling mode.  
5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with the proper amount (refer to  
table) liquid refrigerant.

6).When the electronic scale displays the proper weight (refer to the table), disconnect the charge hose  
from the 3-way valve’s service port immediately and turn off the air conditioner before disconnecting the  
hose.  
7). Replace the valve stem caps and the service port that were previously removed.  
Use torque wrench to tighten the service port cap to a torque of 18N.m.  
Be sure to check for gas leakage using soap water.  
7.5 Adding the refrigerant due to loss of charge  
Electronic scale  
Procedure:  
1). Connect the charge hose to the 3-way service port, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.  
Connect the charge hose to the valve at the bottom of the cylinder. Because the refrigerant is R-410A,  
turn the cylinder upside down, such that the bottom is upward, to ensure a liquid charge.

The compressor frequency will decrease to COOL_F4 and  
then run at COOL_F4 for 3 minutes.  
COOL_F8  
After that, the frequency will be adjusted according to the  
capacity demand, then rise to the next level up every 3  
minutes (When the frequency>COOL_F4 via capacity  
demand).  
COOL_F7  
COOL_F6  
COOL_F5  
If the current frequency is lower than COOL_F4, the frequency will not be limited.  
After 10s of the compressor start, if the current>ICOOL,the AC will display the failure for 30 seconds and stop. The AC will restart 3

8.5.5 Indoor / outdoor units communication protection  
If any indoor unit can not receive the feedback signal from the outdoor unit for 2 minutes, the AC will stop  
and display the failure code.  
8.5.6 High condenser coil temp. protection.  
When T3>149°F(T3>65°C) for 3 seconds, the compressor will stop while the indoor fan and outdoor fan will  
continue.  
When T3<126°F(T3<52°C), the protection will release and the compressor will restart after 3 minutes.  
8.5.7 Outdoor unit anti-freezing protection  
When T2B<32°F(T2B<0°C) for 4 minutes, the indoor unit capacity demand will be zero and resume to  
normal when T2B>50°F(T2B>10°C).  
8.5.8 Oil return  
Running rules:  
1. If the compressor frequency remains lower than RECOILINFRE for 2hours,the AC will increase the  
frequency to RECOILFRE for 3mins and then resume to the former frequency.

2. During the oil return process, the EXV and indoor units continue with the current running mode, the  
frequency will not be limited by the compressor discharge temp. or the current.  
8.5.9 Compressor preheating functions  
----Preheating permitting condition:  
If T4(outdoor ambient temperature) T437.4°F(T43°C) and newly powered on or if T437.4°F(T43°C)  
and compressor has stopped for over 3 hours, the compressor’s crank case heater will begin to operate.  
----Preheating mode:  
A weak current flow through the coil of compressor from the wiring terminal of compressor, heats the  
compressor without it operating via the crankcase heater.  
----Preheating release condition:  
If T4>41°(T4>5°C) or the compressor starts running, preheating function will stop.  
8.5.10 Compressor crankcase heater  
When T4<37.4°(T4<3°C) and the compressor is not running, the crankcase heater will be active.  
When T441°(T45°C) or the compressor starts up, the crankcase heater will stop working.
