Step 2 Remove the needle valve bonnet from the outdoor unit, and connect the other end of the hose
to the outdoor unit needle valve, as shown in Figure 2-20.

Figure 2-20 Checking the outdoor unit pressure

 If the pressure gauge reading is no less than 0.3 MPa, the unit is airtight. Then open the
pressure gauge valve where the hose is connected to discharge nitrogen. After the
discharge is complete, remove the hose and reinstall the valve bonnet.
 If the pressure gauge reading is less than 0.3 MPa, pipes have leakage points, and you
need to contact Huawei technical support.
Step 3 (Skip this step for units with no low-temperature component) Remove the bonnets of the three
needle valves on the low-temperature component, and connect the other end of the hose to the
three needle valves in turn, as shown in Figure 2-20.

before powering it on again.

3.4 Control Mode


Figure 3-4 shows the fan driver control modes.
Upon receiving a running command from the primary control module, a fan driver starts the
fan if the condensing pressure reaches Pon.
 If the condensing pressure reaches Pon, a fan driver starts the fan, and the fan rotates at
the FreqOn frequency.
 If the condensing pressure is between Pon and Pmax, the fan rotation frequency changes
almost linearly as the condensing pressure changes.
 If the condensing pressure exceeds Pmax, the fan rotates at full speed, and the fan
rotation frequency is FreqMax.
 When the condensing pressure decreases from Pon to a value between Poff and Pon, the
fan rotation frequency changes almost linearly as the condensing pressure changes.

 If the condensing pressure drops below Poff, the fan driver stops output and shuts down
the fan.
 Curve parameters must be set as instructed by Figure 3-4.
