(1) 
Conform to the following principles during pipe connection: Connection pipe should be as short as possible, 
so is the height difference between indoor and outdoor units. Keep the number of bends as little as possible. 
Radius of curvature should be as large as possible. 

(2) 
Weld the connection pipe between indoor and outdoor units. Please strictly follow the requirements for 
welding process. Rosin joint or pin hole is not allowed. 

(3) 
When laying the pipe, be careful not to distort it. Radius of bending parts should be over 200mm(8inch). Note 
that pipes cannot be repeatedly bent or stretched; otherwise the material will get harder. Do not bend or 
stretch the pipe for more than 3 times at the same position.

4.3.1 Flaring Process 

(1)  Use pipe cutter to cut the connection pipe in case it is unshaped. 

(2)  Keep the pipe downward in case cutting scraps get into the pipe. Clear away the burrs 

after cutting. 

(3)  Remove the flared nut connecting indoor connection pipe and outdoor unit. Then use 

flaring tool to fix the flared nut into the pipe (as shown in Fig.10). 

(4)  Check if the flared part is flaring evenly and if there is any crack. 

4.3.2 Pipe Bending 

(1)  Reshape the pipe by hand. Be careful not to damage the pipe. 

(2)  Do not bend the pipe over 90°. 

(3)  If pipe is repeatedly bent or stretched, it will get hard and difficult to bend and stretch 

again. Therefore, do not bend or stretch the bend for over 3 times. 

(4)  In case that direct bending will open cracks to the pipe, first use sharp cutter to cut the 

insulating layer, as shown in Fig. 12. Do not bend the pipe until it is exposed. When 

bending is done, wrap the pipe with insulating layer and then secure it with adhesive 

tape.

4.3.3 Indoor Pipe Connection 

(1)  Remove pipe cover and pipe plug. 

(2)  Direct the flared part of copper pipe to the center of screwed joint. Twist on the flared nut 

tightly by hand, as in Fig. 13. (Make sure indoor pipe is correctly connected. Improper location of 

the center will prevent flared nut from being securely twisted. Thread of nut will get damaged if the 

flared nut is twisted forcibly.) 

(3)  Use torque wrench to twist on the flared nut tightly until the wrench gives out a click 

sound. (Hold the handle of wrench and make it at right angle to the pipe. as in Fig. 14)

(1) 
Use sponge to wrap the un-insulated connection pipe and joint. Then tie the sponge tightly with plastic tape. 

(2) 
Connection pipe should be supported by a bearer rather than the unit. 

(3) 
The bending angle of piping should not be too small; otherwise the piping might have cracks. Please use a 
pipe bender to bend the pipe. 

(4) 
When connecting IDU with connection pipe, do not pull the big and small joints of IDU with force in case the 
capillary tube or other tubes have cracks and cause leakage.

Branch shall be isolated by insulating material that can bear 120℃(248℉)or even higher temperature. The 
attached foam of branch cannot be taken as insulating material. 

4.3.6 Thermal Insulation for Pipeline 

(1)  For multi VRF system, every copper pipe should be labeled so as to avoid 

misconnection. 

(2)  At the branch inlet, leave at least 500mm(19-3/4inch) straight pipe section. 

(3)  Thermal insulation for pipeline 

 1)  To avoid condensate or water leakage on the connection pipe, the gas pipe and liquid 

pipe must be wrapped with thermal insulating material and adhesive tape for insulation 

from the air. 

 2)  Joints of indoor and outdoor unit should be wrapped with insulating material and leave 

no gap between pipe and wall. See Fig. 20. 

 3)  When wrapping the tape, the later circle should cover half of the former one. Don’t wrap 

the rape too tight, otherwise the insulation effect will be weakened. 

 4)  After wrapping the pipe, apply sealing material to completely seal the hole on the wall. 

(1) 
Thermal insulating material shall be able bear the pipe temperature. For heat pump unit, liquid pipe should 
bear 70℃(158℉) or above and gas pipe should bear 120℃(248℉) or above. For cooling only unit, both liquid 
pipe and gas pipe should bear 70℃(158℉) or above. 

(2) 
Thermal insulating material of branches should be the same as that of the pipeline. The attached foam of 
branches cannot be taken as insulating material. 

4.3.7 Support and Protection of Pipeline 

(1) 
Support should be made for hanging connection pipe. Distance between each support cannot be over 
1m(3-1/4feet). 
(2) 
Protection against accidental damage should be made for outdoor pipeline. When pipeline exceeds 
1m(3-1/4feet), a pinch board should be added for protection. 

4.4 Disassembly of Compressor Feet 

In order to prevent unit from damage during transportation, 2 metal pieces are fitted to 

outdoor unit’s compressor feet before unit leaves factory. See fig. 21. 

DC Inverter Multi VRF System  

 
Fig. 20

Sayfa 22

DC Inverter Multi VRF System  

When installing the unit, metal pieces for transportation must be removed. (except for 

GMV-60WL/A-T(U)).Then fasten the binding nuts again and wrap back soundproofing cotton.If 

unit runs with metal pieces fitting on, compressor will shake abnormally and unit’s operating life 

will be shortened. 

4.5 Vacuum Pumping, Refrigerant Adding 

Do not purge the air with refrigerants but use a vacuum pump to vacuum the installation! There is no extra 
refrigerant in the outdoor unit for air purging!  

4.5.1 Vacuum Pumping 

(1)  Outdoor unit has been charged with refrigerant before delivery. Field-installed 

connection pipe needs to be charged with additional refrigerant. 

(2)  Confirm whether outdoor liquid and gas valves are closed. 

(3)  Use vacuum pump to withdraw the air inside indoor unit and connection pipe from the 

outdoor valve, as shown below.

(1) The refrigerant amount charged before delivery doesn’t include the amount that needs to be 

added to indoor units and the connection pipeline. 
(2) Length of connection pipe is decided on site. Therefore the amount of additional refrigerant 

shall be decided on site according to the dimension and length of field-installed liquid pipe. 
(3) Record the amount of additional refrigerant for convenience of after-sales service. 

(2)  Calculation of the amount of additional refrigerant 

Calculation method of the quantity of additional refrigerant (based on liquid pipe)

NOTICE! Liquid pipe that is within 20m(65-5/8feet) doesn’t need to be added with 

refrigerant. 

First confirm that there is no leakage from the system. When compressor is not working, 

charge additional R410a with specific amount to the unit through the filling opening of the liquid 

pipe valve of the outdoor unit. If required amount cannot be quickly filled due to pressure increase 

of the pipe, then set the unit in cooling startup and fill refrigerant from the low pressure check valve 

of the outdoor unit.

●When compressor starts, discharge temp in 
cool mode is within 70~105℃(158~221℉) 
and at least 10℃(50℉) higher than the high 
pressure saturation temp; 
●As for temp in heat mode, it is within 
65~90℃(149~194℉) and at least 10℃(50℉) 
higher than the high pressure saturation 
temp.

●In cool mode, the normal high pressure 
value is within 20℃~55℃(68~131℉). 
According to the change of ambient temp and 
system’s operating capacity, the high 
pressure value will be 10℃~30℃(50~86℉) 
higher than ambient temp. The higher 
ambient temp is, the smaller temp difference 
is. If ambient temp is 25~35℃(77~95℉) in 
cool mode, system’s high pressure value will 
be within 44~53℃(111~127℉). 
●In heat mode, if ambient temp is above -5℃
(23℉), system’s high pressure value is within 
40~52℃(104~126℉). If ambient temp is low 
and many IDUs are turned on, the high 
pressure will be lower.

8.4 Restore Factory Defaults 

(1) If you want to restore factory defaults, hold SW8 button on the main board of ODU for more 

than 10s, then all LEDs will blink for 3s. Main board will cancel all setting, including the IP 

addresses and project codes of IDU and ODU. The mark for finished debugging is “0”. 

(2) If you want to restore factory defaults and don’t need project debugging, then hold SW3 and 

SW8 on the main board of ODU for more than 10s, then all LEDs will blink for 5s. All settings 

are cleared out, including the IP addresses and project codes of IDU and ODU. The mark for 

finished debugging remains the same. 

(3) When you only want to restore the default functions, hold SW5 and SW8 button for more than 

10s, then all LED will blink for 7s. All function settings are cleared out, but IDU and ODU’s 

project codes and the mark for finished debugging remain the same. 

8.5 Static Pressure Function 

If ODU’s installation area is not convenient for releasing air and users do not have strict 

requirements for ODU noise, this function can be set to satisfy the heat exchange of ODU. 

Before power on, set codes of SA6 of main board. The relevant static pressure is:

9 Maintenance and Care 

Regular check, maintenance and care can extend unit’s service life. Please have specialized 

person in charge of the management of air conditioners. 

9.1 Outdoor Heat Exchanger 

 Outdoor heat exchanger shall be cleaned regularly, which is at least once every two months. 

You can use a dust catcher with nylon brush to clean away the dust on the heat exchanger. If 

compressed air source is available, it also can be used to clean the heat exchanger. Do not clean 

it with water. 

9.2 Drain Pipe 

Please check regularly whether drain pipe is blocked or not. Make sure condensate can be 

drained out smoothly. 

9.3 Notice before Seasonal Use 

(1)  Check whether air inlets and air outlets of indoor and outdoor units are blocked; 

(2)  Check whether ground connection is reliable or not; 

(3)  Check whether batteries in the remote controller are replaced or not; 

(4)  Check whether air filter is properly installed; 

(5)  If unit starts up after not operating for a long time, it should be power on 8 hours before 

operation starts so as to preheat the outdoor compressor; 

(6)  Check whether outdoor unit is securely installed. If there is any problem, please contact 

Gree authorized service center. 

9.4 Maintenance after Seasonal Use 

(1)  Disconnect power of the entire system; 

(2)  Clean the air filter and outer case of indoor and outdoor units; 

(3)  Clean away the dust and obstacles on indoor and outdoor units; 

(4)  If outdoor unit has rust, please apply some paint to it so as to prevent the rust from 

growing. 

9.5 Parts Replacement  

Parts and components can be obtained from nearby Gree office or Gree distributor. 

When you are conducting air tightness test and leakage test, do not mix oxygen, C2H2 or other dangerous gas into 
the refrigerant circuit. Otherwise, it may lead to danger. Use nitrogen or refrigerant to conduct the tests.
