14.1.1 Pump Down Operation (SW1)
Operate the pump down process according to the following procedure.
o
Confirm the valve on the liquid side and gas side are open.
o
Press PUMP DOWN button (SW1) on the Service PCB inside the outdoor unit for more than 5 seconds.
Pump down (cooling) operation is performed for 15 minutes.
o
Set the liquid side 3 way valve to close position and wait until the pressure gauge indicates 0.01MPa
(0.1kg/cm
2
G).
o
Immediate set the gas side valve to close position and then press the PUMP DOWN button (SW1) to stop the
pump down operation.
NOTE: Pump down operation will stop automatically after 15 minutes if PUMP DOWN switch (SW1) is not pressed
again. Pump down operation is not started within 3 minutes after compressor is stopped.

14.1.2 Test Run Operation
Test operation can be carried out using TEST OPERATION button (SW2) on the Service PCB inside the outdoor
unit.
For Cooling test, press the TEST OPERATION button (SW2) for 5 seconds or more but less than 10 seconds,
LED1 and LED 2 will illuminate when shift into cooling test operation.
For Heating test, press the TEST OPERATION button (SW2) for more than 10 seconds, LED 1 and LED 3 will
illuminate when shift into heating test operation.
Press the TEST OPERATION button (SW2) again to cancel test operation.

14.1.3 Wiring Error Check
The unit capable to correct the wiring error automatically by following procedures.
o
Confirm the valve on the liquid side and gas side is open.
o
Press WIRING CHECK button (SW3) on the Service PCB inside the outdoor unit for more than 10 seconds
to start wiring check operation.
o
Wiring check process will complete in approximately 20 - 25 minutes. However, wiring check operation will
not start within 3 minutes after compressor is stopped. When outdoor air temperature is less than 5°C or unit
has abnormality, wiring check will not start. (See NOTE 2)

NOTE:
1. For two rooms, LED 4,5 and 6 are not illuminated, for three rooms, LED 5 and 6 are not illuminated and for
four rooms, LED 6 is not illuminated after wiring operation complete.
2. If the outdoor air temperature is less than 5°C or unit has abnormality, wiring operation will not start.
3. After wiring check operation is complete, LED indication will illuminated until normal operation starts.
4. Follow the product diagnosis procedure. (Check the diagnostic label at the cabinet side plate.)
5. When LED 1 only illuminate, indicates that outdoor unit is operating normally.
