Fuijitsu Mini Split Condenser Question

[stasbeletsky]

Hello, I have a question regarding Guijitsu Mini split system.
I installed everything according instructions except Air Pumping and as I was reading It's required. All valves have not been opened yet. However, I tested indoor unit (turned it on) and it's working fine as fan As there is no cooling going into pipes. I will try to pump air out and check all pipe connections. But I noticed that outside unit doesnt start/work or anything. So the question is ..

Is it normal for outside unit to be silent/inactive until valves are opened?

I am hoping after purging air it will work

as the manual should say - connect wiring and pipes - pressure test ,vac then open service valves- add any additional refrigerant then run system- 3 min delay on outdoor unit running from a demand for cool/heat if not at setpoint, do not run with valves closed

Its not normal to run the system with the service valves shut...

Hope is a wonderful thing, sometimes its all we have.


Best fully follow the instructions, if you are not a tech then its best to get someone qualified to commision the system for you or it will be nothing but trouble.

Poor unit... :-(

Is it often that outside (or inside) unit malfunctioned? Is just bad luck? Covered by warranty?

Basically I purged air, tighten all connection (it was a little leak) and opened valves. So system has been charged. But outside unit is still silent.

Calling some contractors to see it in couple days.

good luck with that, warranty should be void as not installed by a qualified engineer.

Hey, thanks all for replies Basically problem was with power line ... I put 110 ... and unit (of course) didnt run except indoor fan, so i set another line (double breaker/fuse) for 220 and it works just fine... my stupid mistake... thanks again
