Step 5: Set the static pressure for the outdoor unit.
When the indoor and outdoor units are powered on, and the unit is to be commissioned, set the
static pressure mode for the unit according to the design requirements for the outdoor static pressure of
the project. Five static pressure modes are available: The factory default static pressure mode 0
represents 0 Pa outdoor static pressure, mode 1 represents 30 Pa, mode 2 represents 50 Pa, mode 3
represents 80 Pa, and mode 4 represents 110 Pa.
Each basic module can be set separately or uniformly by the master module. When basic modules
are set separately, the static pressure value of each module can be different; when the modules are set
uniformly, the static pressure value of each module remains the same. When a static pressure value is
set in either of the two modes, the previous mode setting limit is automatically released. The static
pressure value of each basic module is subject to the last received set value. The setting procedure is as
follows:
When the unit is to be commissioned, press and hold the SW1 up button on the master unit for over

This mode is selected when an indoor unit is faulty,
Indoor unit pipeline refrigerant
01 and the refrigerant in the indoor unit pipeline needs
recycle
to be recycled to the outdoor unit.
This mode is selected when a basic module is
faulty, and the refrigerant in the basic module
02 Basic module refrigerant recycle
needs to be recycled to other pipelines and
modules.
After entering refrigerant recycle, the outdoor unit automatically starts, and recycles the refrigerant
to the pipeline of the outdoor unit or indoor unit.
Setting steps:
Step 1: Enter A2 refrigerant recycle, and ensure that the master module displays as follows:

Fault diagnosis:
Check the engineering SN of indoor units, as the indoor units having the same numbers generate
the same fault. However, the fault is displayed and required to be removed only when the commissioning
software, centralized controller and remote monitoring are connected.
In the case of non-centralized control, the conflict in terms of the engineering SNs of some indoor
units, if any, do not affect the operation of themselves and of the entire system.
Possible causes:
■ The same engineering SN is configured for different indoor units;
■ The main board of indoor unit is from another unit.
Troubleshooting:
There are several ways to reset the conflicting engineering SN of an indoor unit:
by commissioning software;
by wired controller;
by commissioning the remote controller;
by pressing the Reset button on the main board of indoor unit so that the system reassigns the

Fault diagnosis:
When the difference between the air discharge temperature of compressor and the temperature at
the high pressure is below 10°C, the unit stops running to ensure safe operation.
Possible causes:
■ The compressor's temperature sensor for air discharge operates improperly;
■ The electronic expansion valve of indoor unit operates improperly in cooling mode;
■ The electronic expansion valve of outdoor unit operates improperly in heating mode;
■ Excessive refrigerant in the unit.
Troubleshooting:
Step 1: Check whether the air discharge pipe and shell roof temperature sensor of each
compressor are installed firmly, and whether the protection sponge is fastened.
Then, check whether the resistance corresponding to each temperature is normal based on the
temperature - resistance table of temperature sensor. If not, replace the temperature sensor.
Step 2: If the unit is in cooling mode:
First, inspect the indoor electronic expansion valve:
ķ When the electronic expansion valve of the indoor unit is closed to 0PLS, if the temperature
difference between the inlet and outlet pipes of the indoor unit coil and the temperature at the
low pressure is less than 10°C, it indicates that the unit operates improperly.
Solution: First, make sure that the EXV coil is connected properly, and then power off the unit.
Power on to reset the unit and check the resetting action. If unable to reset the unit, replace the coil or
the main board. If able to reset the unit normally despite the problem, replace the electronic expansion
valve.
ĸ Check whether the electronic expansion valve of the indoor unit operates properly: If the
electronic expansion valve is open to 200PLS, the temperature of the outlet pipe of indoor unit
coil is smaller than that of the inlet pipe by over 1°C, and the difference between the discharge
temperature of the compressor or the shell roof temperature of the compressor and the high
pressure temperature is less than 10°C.
Solution: First, make sure that the EXV coil is connected properly, and then power off the unit.
Power on to reset the unit and check the resetting action. If unable to reset the unit, replace the coil or
the main board. If able to reset the unit normally despite the problem, replace the electronic expansion
valve.
Next, inspect the outdoor subcooler electronic expansion valve:
After confirming that the EXV coil is connected properly, power off the unit. Then power on to reset
the unit and check the resetting action.
Step 3: If the unit is in heating mode, check the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit first.

After confirming that the EXV coil is connected properly, power off the unit. Then power on to reset
the unit and check the resetting action. If unable to reset the unit, replace the coil or the main board. If
able to reset the unit normally, inspect other parts of the unit.
Step 4: Check whether the refrigerant is added in accordance with the design requirements, as
excessive refrigerant may trigger system protection.
Solution: Add refrigerant in accordance with the design requirements.

Fault diagnosis:
When the compressor's discharge temperature detected by the temperature sensors on the
discharge pipes and on the top of the compressor is above 118°C, the unit stops running to ensure safe
operation.
Possible causes:
■ Check valve of the outdoor unit is closed;
■ The electronic expansion valve operates improperly;
■ Abnormal outdoor or indoor fans;
■ Clogging of indoor filter or air duct (cooling mode);
■ The ambient temperature where the unit operates exceeds the limit;
■ Insufficient refrigerant in the unit;
■ Clogging of unit pipes.
Troubleshooting:
Step 1: Inspect and make sure that the check valves of the gas pipe and liquid pipe of the outdoor
unit are fully opened.
Step 2: Power on the units based on the capacity and number of indoor units enabled previously in
the case of protection state. After confirming that the EXV coil is connected properly, power off the unit.
Then power on to reset the unit and check the resetting action. If unable to reset the unit, replace the coil
or the main board. If able to reset the unit normally, inspect other parts of the unit.
Step 3: Power on the units based on the capacity and number of indoor units enabled previously in
the case of protection state. Observe whether the indoor and outdoor fans are operating properly
according to the rotational speed displayed by the commissioning software. If not, replace the motor or
motor drive module (outdoor fan).
Step 4: In the case of cooling mode, check whether the filter of the indoor unit is dirty or clogged or
whether the air resistance is too high (the air resistance is designed to be larger than the static pressure
of the unit as required).
Step 5: Check whether the air return temperature of the unit exceeds the limit during operation
(requirements in cooling mode: outdoor ambient temperature -5°C to 48°C, indoor ambient temperature
14°C to 25°C; requirements in heating mode: outdoor ambient temperature -25°C to 24°C, indoor
ambient temperature 15°C to 27°C).
Step 6: Check whether the refrigerant is added in accordance with the design requirements, as
insufficient refrigerant may trigger system protection.
Step 7: Power on the units based on the capacity and number of indoor units enabled previously in
the case of protection state. Check whether the pipeline or expansion valve is blocked according to the
parameters of the indoor and outdoor units and the temperature of the pipelines (touch with hands).

Chapter 4 Maintenance
During the maintenance of a modular unit, all the outside units must be powered on and off
concurrently. Avoid doing so to only some of the outdoor units.
Since the concentration of refrigerant is greater than that of air, pay attention to the spaces where
the refrigerant may residue, for example, the basement.
2 Refrigerant Charging
Total refrigerant charging amount R= Pipeline charging amount A + Σ charging amount B of every
module.
204
Lennox VRF HE DC Inverter Units Service Manual
Notes:
ķ Rated capacity configuration rate of indoor unit and outdoor unit C = sum of indoor unit rated
cooling capacity / sum of outdoor unit rated cooling capacity.
ĸ If all indoor units are all fresh air indoor units, the added refrigerant amount for each module B
is 0kg(0 LBS).
Ĺ If all fresh air indoor units are mixed with the general VRF indoor units, charge the refrigerant
according to the refrigerant-charging method of the general indoor unit.
For example1:
Outdoor unit consists of one 28kW module and one 45kW module. Five 14kW duct type units are
used as indoor units.
IDU/ODU rated capacity collocation ratio C=14.0×5/(28.0+45.0)=96%. The quantity of included IDUs
is more than 4 sets. Please refer to the above table.
Additional refrigerant quantity B for 28kW module is 2.0 kg(4.41 LBS).
Suppose the Pipeline charging amount A=∑Liquid pipe length × refrigerant charging amount of
every 1m liquid pipe=20kg(44.1 LBS).
Total refrigerant charging amount R=20+6=26kg(49.83 LBS).
For example 2:
Outdoor unit is a 45kW module and the indoor unit is a 45kW fresh air unit. The quantity (B) of
refrigerant added to this module is 0kg(0 LBS).

Step 5: Open the high pressure gauge valve (the low pressure gauge valve remains closed), charge
the system with refrigerant, and record the weight change of the refrigerant tank.
Step 6: When refrigerant tank is over and the refrigerant can’t be charged to the system any more,
record the current weight of m2.
Step 7: Close the high pressure gauge valve and replace the refrigerant tank.
Step 8: Re-execute "step 3".
Step 9: Repeat "step 5" and "step 6" to record the weight of m3 before charging refrigerant and the
weight of m4 after charging refrigerant.
Step 10: If the refrigerant cannot be continuously charged into the system and the calculated added
amount of refrigerant has not been fully charged into the system, record current total pre-charging
amount:
m=(m1-m2) +(m3-m4) +…+(mn-1-mn)
Remained refrigerant for start-up charging m`=M-m
“M” is the calculated total required refrigerant-charging volume.
If the amount of pre-charging refrigerant “m” has reached the total added amount of refrigerant for
the system, close the refrigerant tank valve immediately to complete the refrigerant-charging work. Skip
to the "step 11".
Step 11: Complete the refrigerant-charging work and remove the pressure gauge, etc.
207
Lennox VRF HE DC Inverter Units Service Manual
Step 2: Fully open the liquid pipe valve and gas pipe valve of each module.
Step 3: Make the complete unit enter into debugging operation by the debugging software or the
main board of outdoor unit. (see the debugging part for the specific operation).
Step 4: When it comes to the procedure of charging refrigerant, open the refrigerant tank valve and
charge the residual refrigerant “m`”.
Step 5: When all refrigerant has been charged, close the refrigerant tank valve and wait until the
automatic debugging for the complete unit is finished.
Step 6: Once debugging is finished, disassemble the pressure gauge, etc., to complete the
refrigerant-charging work.

of the compressor
must be intact.
Check whether the models of the new and old compressors on the nameplates are the same.
Check the sealing rubber blocks of components such as the oil separator and gas separator. If any
sealing rubber block is missing, use rubber tap to seal it in order to make sure that the vessel is dry and
sealed.
273
Lennox VRF HE DC Inverter Units Service Manual
Make sure that the compressor's lubricant is sealed reliably. Hitachi compressors adopt the
FVC68D dedicated lubricant, which is highly hygroscopic. Therefore, the lubricant has a strict
requirement on lubricant sealing.
(2) Tools
1) Get nitrogen ready. Comply with the nitrogen charging and welding regulations during the
welding. Make sure that the nitrogen is sufficient. The suggested nitrogen pressure is above 2.0
MPa.
2) Get welding rods ready. In addition, special welding rods with the silver content of above 5%
are required to weld the compressor as the compressor air inlet and outlet adopt copper-coated
steel pipes, which require special welding rods and welding flux.
3) Get welding tools ready. Assess the nitrogen and acetylene quantity necessary for the
welding according to the part to be welded. Prevent repeated welding of the same places.
4) Get all the auxiliary service tools ready, including hex key, diagonal pliers, pincer pliers,
needle-nosed pliers, multimeter, pressure gauge, Phillips screwdriver, slotted screwdriver, at least
two wrenches, insulating tape, and cable ties.
Step 2: Power-off
If the replacement of the compressor is necessary according to the above-mentioned conditions,
switch off the power of the ODU, disconnect the power cable, disconnect the ODU from the power and
wrap the power cables with insulating tapes, and put a warning sign at the power switch to prevent
electric shocks.
Step 3: Removing electric parts
Mark the compressor cables, temperature sensors and auxiliary electric heater properly while
removing them so that the parts can be rewired correctly later.
Step 4: Checking lubricant quality

Low pressure
measurement
valve
Before discharging refrigerant and dismantling the unit, collect the refrigeration oil in the system
from the low-pressure measurement valve using the following method. Connect one end of a rubber
hose to the low-pressure measurement valve and the other one to a transparent container. Since that
the container contains the mixture of the refrigerant and lubricant and the refrigerant volatilizes, do not
seal the container. Otherwise, the high pressure in the container may lead to breaking of the container or
even an explosion.
Record the oil quantity after the lubricant is fully discharged.
Step 5: Discharging refrigerant
The refrigerant in the system needs to be discharged from the high and low pressure sides of the
system concurrently. If the refrigerant is discharged from one side only, the sealed scroll will hinder the
refrigerant from being fully discharged. Do not discharge the refrigerant too fast (in no shorter than 12h).
Otherwise, a large amount of lubricant will be discharged together with the refrigerant as well.

ĸ Place the compressor at a position above the level of the ground, pour oil from the
compressor exhaust port, and use a beverage bottle or other transparent container (with a volume of
over 150 ml) to store oil.
Note that the angle between the axial position of the compressor and the horizontal plane should
not exceed 20 degrees to prevent the compressor from falling and injuring people.
Ĺ Place the collected compressor oil in a bright place to check if it contains impurities and
discolors, and smell the compressor oil. Normal lubricant has no obvious pungent odor.
After removing the compressor and oil, check the oil quality separately. If it is contaminated, replace
the compressor, oil separator and gas-liquid separator. If the color of the oil turns black, check the other
modules in the system using the same method.
Check the compressor that needs to be replaced, and ensure that pipe openings of the damaged
compressor are sealed with tape or the like in time to ensure that the compressor is in good condition for
further analysis.
Step 7: Checking system parts
When the system oil is polluted, it is necessary to confirm the parts of the unit, including the oil
separator, gas-liquid separator and storage tank.
1) Checking oil separator
Remove the oil separator according to the procedure of step 4, discharge oil from the oil separator,
use the container to hold the oil, and seal the container for return to the factory for inspection.

the oil separator
4. Remove the oil
separator fixing bolt
After removing the gas-liquid separator, check whether the gas-liquid separator contains impurities
or other substances. The checking procedure is described as follows:
278
Lennox VRF HE DC Inverter Units Service Manual
Note: The outlet pipe of the
gas liquid separator must be
placed under the inlet pipe
when the liquid in the gas
liquid separator is being
drained.
It is also necessary to use a transparent container to hold the impurities in the gas-liquid separator,
observe the impurity color and seal the container, and return it to the factory to check the impurity
composition.
If the compressor is damaged and needs to be replaced, the gas-liquid separator must be replaced
at the same time. It needs to be replaced regardless of whether it contains impurities or has any other
exceptions.
3) Checking the compressor oil-return pipeline
Remove the compressor oil-return pipeline and check the amount of oil and impurities in the
pipeline.
Check the system components that need to be replaced, and ensure that pipe openings of the
damaged components are sealed with tape or the like in time to ensure that they are in good condition
for further analysis.
279
Lennox VRF HE DC Inverter Units Service Manual
Collect the amount of compressor oil poured out from the oil separator, gas-liquid separator and oil
equalizer, and make relevant records to facilitate the replacement of compressors, gas-liquid separator
and other components, and adding of lubricant to the system. The total amount of oil that is poured out of
the system needs to be supplemented with additional oil after repair.
Step 8: Removing pipeline system
After checking the parts that need to be replaced, check whether there is any abnormality in the
system pipeline. Use nitrogen to blow the main pipeline and focus on detecting and removing the oil
passages.
ķ Removing the oil return pipeline.
Remove the other piping components according to the actual conditions. If the components are not
replaced immediately after removing the pipeline, use tape to seal the pipeline to prevent moisture and
impurities from contaminating the system.
280
Lennox VRF HE DC Inverter Units Service Manual
Before replacing the compressors, make sure that the models of the compressors to be replaced
are same as the models of the new compressors. The new compressors must be installed at the same
places of the respective old compressors and wired correctly. We recommend you replace the
281
Lennox VRF HE DC Inverter Units Service Manual
The compressors must be wired in accordance with the wiring at the factory. The control varies by
compressors. If the wiring is incorrect or the two compressors are reversed, the unit may be damaged.
Step 10: Checking/replacing gas-liquid separator
Ć Note: If a damaged compressor in the system needs to be replaced, the gas-liquid separator
must be replaced at the same time to avoid abnormal conditions inside the gas-liquid separator, which
may affect the safety and reliability of the system.
Place the gas-liquid separator in a suitable position on the chassis, connect the gas-liquid separator
inlet and outlet pipes, and then connect the nitrogen port on the gas-liquid separator connection pipe.
The nitrogen position can be selected according to the site conditions. Use the bypass interface or
directly connect it to the inlet and outlet pipes of the gas-liquid separator. When the pipelines are large,
they can be fixed by tape. Make sure that the nitrogen can flow smoothly through the gas-liquid
separator.

Compressor refrigeration oil plays an important role in the normal operation of compressor. The
lubricant with the correct model number and quality must be used in accordance with the requirements
of Lennox after-sales and technical departments. The recharging amount must be correct.
Step 15: System vacuuming
After adding the appropriate lubricant, it is necessary to continue vacuuming the unit. Make sure
that the pressure after vacuuming reaches the absolute pressure of 0 kgf/cm2 and the gauge pressure is
-1 kgf/cm2. Only in this way, can the water in the pipeline system be fully evaporated.
Recommended specifications of vacuum pump are as follows:
Purpose
Model Maximum vacuum discharge
Air discharge Vacuum drying
Oil-lubricating rotor
100 L/min Yes Yes
pump
Non-oil rotor pump 50 L/min Yes Yes
Use a vacuum pump to vacuum the unit from the gas and liquid valves simultaneously. The
pressure gauge must be connected when vacuuming. When the unit pressure reaches the absolute
pressure 0 kgf/cm2 and the gauge pressure is -1 kgf/cm2, continue to vacuum the unit for 0.5-1h. Then,
close the high and low pressure gauge knob and stop the vacuum pump for 1h, If the pressure does not
change, the refrigerant can be charged. If the pressure rises by over 0.1 kgf/cm2, recheck the system for
leakage.
Step 16: Charging refrigerant
Charge the unit with the correct refrigerant. Only use high-quality refrigerant made by qualified
manufacturers. The refrigerant package must be intact and the printing must be clear. Measure the
refrigerant pressure before charging the refrigerant. The refrigerant quality can be judged according to
