GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Preface
This manual specifies safe operation requirements for GMV5 series VRF units from perspectives of
engineering and installation, commissioning and maintenance, as well as basic principles and
implementation methods. Professional operators must abide by relevant national (local) safety
requirements and technical specifications set forth in this manual during operations; otherwise, the air
conditioning system may fail or be damaged, and personnel safety accident may also occur.

Chapter 1 Introduction to Basic Features


of Units
I. Basic Operating Principle
Outdoor units of GMV5 VRF air conditioner can be implemented by combining multiple modules in
parallel. Similarly, indoor units (IDUs) consist of multiple units connecting in parallel. The operating
principle is as follows: When an IDU is operating in cooling mode, the outdoor unit (ODU) can
correspondingly enable the outdoor module based on the operating load requirement of the IDU. The
outdoor heat exchanger serves as a system condenser, and the heat exchangers of cooling IDUs are
connected in parallel to serve as a system evaporator. The circulation of air supply and air return of the
IDU is performed to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity. When an IDU is operating in heating
mode, all four-way valves in the ODU module are switched into energized status. The outdoor heat
exchange serves as the system evaporator, and the heat exchanger of the IDU serves as the system
condenser. The circulation of air supply and air return of the IDU is performed to adjust the indoor
temperature and humidity.

Note:
(1) The circuit breaker and power cable specifications are selected based on the maximum power
(maximum current) of the units.
(2) The power cable specifications are obtained under the conditions that the ambient temperature is
40℃, the working temperature of multi-core copper cable (for example, YJV cable) is 90℃, and the
cable is exposed in cable troughs. In different applications, adjust the specifications based on national
standards.
(3) Only copper conductor cable can be used.
(4) The sectional area of a wire is applicable for a distance range of up to 15 m. If the distance is greater
than 15 m, increase the sectional area of the wire correspondingly to prevent the wire from being burned
due to overload current and to avoid fire.
(5) The circuit breaker specifications are obtained under the conditions that the ambient temperature is
40℃ when the circuit breaker is working. In different applications, adjust the specifications based on the
circuit breaker manual.
(6) The circuit breaker must support magnetic release and thermal release at the same time to protect
the system from short circuit and overload.

VI. Basic Requirement for Pipe Connection


1. Outdoor units adopt the modular combination design of individual cooling system, that is, units
are connected by using pipes in parallel during installation. The tubing system used among modules
includes air pipes, liquid pipes and oil equalizing pipes.

GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Note:
(1) Functions of oil check valve: During after-sale maintenance, the oil check valve can be used to
extract lubricating oil samples, which are further detected to analyze the oil quality in the system.
The oil check valve can also serve as the inlet for lubricating oil charging. Stop the system for at least
12 hours before the extracting of lubricating oil from the system; otherwise, overheat oil may burn the
operator.
(2) Functions of low-pressure check valve: It is mainly used for low pressure detection of the system and
refrigerant charging during after-sale maintenance.

VII. Precautions on Refrigerant Leakage


Personnel related to air conditioning engineering design and installation operators must abide by
the safety requirement for preventing refrigerant leakage specified in local laws and regulations. If such
safety requirement is unavailable in local documents, the design and operation must be implemented
based on the following principles: GMV5 series VRF units adopt the R410A refrigerant, which is
nonflammable and nontoxic. However, the space for refrigerant leakage must be sufficient to ensure that
the refrigerant concentration does not exceed that specified in the safety requirement; otherwise, people
involved can be stifled by the refrigerant.
The maximum refrigerant charge and maximum refrigerant concentration in the system are
calculated directly based on the size of the air conditioning space. The unit of refrigerant concentration is
1 kg/m³.

1) Flow direction of refrigerant leakage.


2) Room for refrigerant leakage. 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.
Method for calculating the maximum concentration of refrigerant:
(1) Calculate the refrigerant charge quantity of each system.
Charge quantity of an ODU upon delivery (for the system consisting of multiple modules in parallel,
the accumulative charge quantity of modules upon delivery is used) + Onsite charge quantity = Total
refrigerant charge quantity in the system (kg)
(2) Calculate the volume of maximum air conditioning space (m³).
Volume of air conditioning space (m³) = Len gth x Width x Height
Note: The length, width and height here refer to the effective length, width and height of the indoor
space.
(3) Calculate the maximum refrigerant concentration of the refrigeration system.
Total refrigerant quantity of the system
------------------≤ Maximum supported concentration (kg/m³)
Minimum volume of air conditioning space
Note: If the maximum supported refrigerant concentration is not available in relevant local standard,
use 0.3kg /m³as the maximum supported refrigerant con centration.
(4) If the maximum refrigerant concentration exceeds the allowed threshold, the refrigeration system
must be redesigned. In this case, separate the refrigeration system into multiple small-capacity
refrigeration systems, or contact local Gree sales company.

Chapter 2 Installation
Part 1 Engineering Installation
Preparation
I. Installation Safety
Personnel and property safety are highly concerned during the entire installation process.
Installation implementation must abide by relevant national safety regulations to ensure personnel and
property safety.
All personnel involved in the installation must attend safety education courses and pass
corresponding safety examinations before installation. Only qualified personnel can attend the
installation. Relevant personnel must be held responsible for any violation of the regulation.

II. Importance of Installation Engineering


VRF air conditioning systems use refrigerant, instead of other agent, to directly evaporate to carry
out the system heat. High level of pipe cleanness and dryness is required in the system. Since various
pipes need to be prepared and laid out onsite, carelessness or maloperation during installation may
leave impurities, water, or dust inside refrigerant pipes. If the design fails to meet the requirement,
various problems may occur in the system or even lead to system breakdown.
Problems that usually occur during installation are as follows:

Understand the special requirement (if any) for unit installation before implementation to ensure
installation quality. Relevant installers must have corresponding engineering construction qualifications.
Special type operators involved in the engineering implementation, such as welders, electricians,
and refrigeration mechanics must have relevant operating licenses and are accredited with vocational
qualification certification.

22
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

III. Cooperation Between Different


Professions
A quality installation of air conditioning engineering depends on careful organization and close
cooperation between different professions such as architecture, structure, electric, water supply and
drainage, fire-fighting, and decoration. Pipes must be laid in places away from any automatic spray head
for fire-fighting, and must be reasonably arranged to ensure that the pipes fit the electric, luminaries, and
decoration.
1. Requirements for cooperation with civil engineering:
The riser should be installed in the air conditioning tube well, and the horizontal pipe should be
placed in the ceiling, if possible.
A place should be reserved for the ODU base to prevent the waterproof layer or insulating layer on
the roof from being damaged in later phase of installation.
At places on walls or floors where pipes need to go through, holes or casing should be preserved. If
the pipe needs to go through a bearing beam, a steel casing must be prepared.
2. Requirements for cooperation with decoration engineering:
The air conditioning installation should not damage the bearing structure or the decorative style. Air
conditioning pipes should be laid out along the bottom of the beam as possible. If pipes meet one
another at the same elevation, process based on the following principles:
Drain pipes enjoy the highest priority. Air ducts and pressure pipes should leave places for gravity
pipes.
Air ducts and small pipes should leave places for major pipes.
3. Requirements for cooperation with electric:
After the capacity of air conditioning unit is determined, check the following aspects with relevant
electric design personnel:
Whether the electrical load is designed based on the requirement of the air conditioning unit;
Whether the power cable and circuit breaker meet the unit requirement and abide by relevant
national safety regulations;
Whether the regional power supply quality (including voltage fluctuation and interference noise)
meet the international requirement.
Any nonconformity must be resolved through coordination.

IV. Onsite Review of Design Drawing


Installation personnel must carefully read and understand the design scheme and drawings
provided by engineering designers, and prepare detailed and feasible construction organization design
after reviewing the onsite status.
The following aspects of working drawing must be reviewed:
1. The loads of indoor and ODUs must match. The gross rated capacity of the IDU should be set to
a value that is 50% to 135% of the rated capacity of the ODU. In actual conditions, if the capacity of
concurrently operating IDUs exceeds 100% of the rated capacity of the ODU, the air conditioning system
fails to meet the requirement. Note: Configuration in excess of the capacity of the IDUs can affect the
comfort for users. The more the excess is, the lower the adjustment capacity of an air conditioning unit
will be. When the capacity exceeds 135% of the configured value, the system reliability can be affected.
Therefore, relevant regulations on capacity limit must be strictly followed.
2. The difference of level between an ODU and an IDU, and that between IDUs must be set within
the designed range.
3. Pipe bend for trapped oil is required for air pipe riser in the unit to ensure normal circulation in the
unit lubricating system.
4. The pipe diameter and manifold type in the cooling system must meet relevant technical
specifications.
5. The drainage method of unit condensate water must be reasonable; the pipeline slope must
follow the design requirement of unit.
6. The air duct direction and air flow are reasonably organized.
7. The configuration specifications, type, and control method of power cables should meet the
design requirement of unit.
8. The arrangement, total length, and control method of control line should meet the design
requirement of unit.
Note: Engineering construction personnel must strictly abide by the design drawings. If any design
cannot be implemented during construction and needs to be modified, contact the designer first for
approval and prepare a written document, that is, the design modification record.

5. During the installation of the ODU, induced and exhaust pipes must be connected. In addition, the
aperture opening rate of shutters must be at least 80%, and the angle between the shutters and the
horizontal plane should be less than 20°. Requirements for installing exhaust air duct are as follows:
i. Basic requirement for connecting an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct
When an ODU needs to be connected to the static pressure ventilating duct, the ventilating duct must be
reasonably designed. The pressure loss caused by the ventilating duct must be calculated. In addition, a
proper type of ventilating duct is necessary. To connect he static pressure ventilating duct to the ODU,
three basic parts are required: (1) ODU; (2) canvas; and (3) steel-plate ventilating duct. The ODU must
be interconnected with the ventilating duct through canvas to prevent abnormal vibration and noise
generated by the steel-plate ventilating duct. The joint part must be tightly sealed with tin foil to avoid air
leakage.
ii. Preparations for connecting an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct
(1) The ODU is installed properly based on the unit installation requirement.
(2) The steel-plate ventilating duct is designed based on the unit and engineering requirement, and is
installed properly according to the engineering standards.
(3) Based on the unit dimensions and the size of steel-plate ventilating duct, prepare materials such as
canvas casing, tin foil, steel bar and tapping screw, as well as tools such as hand-operated electric drill,
air screw driver and screwdriver.
iii. Basic operation of connecting an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct
Two methods are available to connect an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct.
Method 1: Reserve the unit top case. Detailed operations are as follows:
a) Install the ODU (2) and steel-plate ventilating duct (1). Use an air screw driver or screwdriver to
unfasten the tapping screws that fixing the top case component (3), and then remove the top case
component. Take out the grille from the top of the top case component and leave the top case.
b) Put the canvas casing inside out (4). Cover one end of the canvas casing over the unit
downward until the canvas end face is aligned with the unit or a bit higher than the top of the unit. Then,
put the top case back (3) and tightly press the canvas casing (4). Use tapping screws to fix the top case
onto the unit (3).
c) Pull up the canvas casing reversely (4) and use the steel bar (5) to press the canvas casing
tightly onto the counter flange of the steel-plate ventilating duct (1). Use a hand-operated electric drill to
drill holes and fasten the parts by using tapping screws.
d) Use the tin foil to seal the joints and check the joints' reliability.

37
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Step 1 Step 2

Step 3 Step 4

Step 5 Step 6

Method 2: Remove the unit top case. Detailed operations are as follows:
(1) Install the ODU (2) and steel-plate ventilating duct (1). Take out the grille from the top of the top
case component. Use the prepared canvas casing inside out (4) to cover the surroundings over
the top of the unit. Keep the top of canvas casing (4) 30 to 50 mm higher over the top of the
38
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

unit.
(2) Use a steel bar to press tightly the canvas casing (4) around the top case of the unit. Use a
hand-operated electric drill to drill holes and fasten the canvas casing onto the unit through
steel bar by using tapping screws.
(3) Pull up the canvas casing reversely and use the steel bar to press the canvas casing tightly
onto the counter flange of the steel-plate ventilating duct. Use a hand-operated electric drill to
drill holes and fasten the parts by using tapping screws.
(4) Use the tin foil to seal the joints and check the joints' reliability.

Note: Remove the grille on the top case when connecting an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct;
otherwise, the air volume, especially the unit operating performance will be affected. For method 2,
since drills are required on the top case, the powder coated protective layer on the top case will be
damaged. As a result, the anti-corrosion performance of the unit top case will be reduced.

Step 1Step 2

Step 3 Step 4

6. When the effective area of air intake is less than 70% of the total air intake area of all ODUs, an
induced draft fan is also required. The total air input of induced draft fan should be no less than 80% of
the total supply air rate.

Part 6 Pipe Installation and Insulation


I. Pipe Installation for the Cooling System
1. Precautions on Pipe Direction Design
Refrigerant pipe layout must be designed in accordance with the following principles:
1) The air conditioning installation should not damage the bearing structure or the decorative style.
Air conditioning pipes should be laid out along the bottom of beam as possible. If pipes meet one
another at the same elevation, process based on the following principles:
Drain pipes enjoy the highest priority. Air ducts and pressure pipes should leave places for gravity
pipes.
Air ducts and small pipes should leave places for major pipes.
2) The refrigerant pipe layout must be optimal in actual engineering with minimum pipe length and
bends. In this way, the performance of the unit can be maximized.
3) The refrigerant pipe cannot affect air discharge and return of internal units. The minimum
distance between the refrigerant pipe with an insulation layer and the air return box is 300 mm. If the air
return or manhole is at the right lower part of the unit, the minimum distance is 150 mm. When the
refrigerant pipe needs to be laid at the air outlet side, avoid laying the pipe at the front of the air outlet.
The refrigerant pipe cannot connect to any part of the unit except the joint points. If the preceding
principles are not followed, performance of the unit will be affected and running noises will be increased.
The distance cannot
be less than 300 mm.

Return air inlet


Refrigerant pipe or other pipes

Air outlet

Indoor unit

4) The refrigerant pipe must be laid away from the manhole of the unit so that sufficient space can
be reserved for maintenance.
5) The riser should be installed in the air conditioning tube well, and the horizontal pipe should be
placed in the ceiling, if possible.
2. Processing to Refrigerant Pipes
2.1 Cut-off and Burring
Use a special-purpose pipe cutter to cut copper pipes instead of using a hacksaw.
Cut the pipes gently to ensure that the copper pipe does not deform.
55
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

After cutting the pipes, use a slicker to grater bur the pipes with the pipe opening inclining downward
so that the copper scales do not fall into the pipe.
Allowable deviation: Skewness of the cross section cannot exceed 1% of the copper pipe caliber.
If the copper pipe is not used immediately after cut-off, cover it with a sealing cap or adhesive tape.
2.2 Pipe Cleaning
Cleaning with a piece of silk cloth: Wrap a thin steel wire with a piece of clean silk cloth. Crumple the
cloth into a lump with diameter larger than the pipe calibre. Apply several drops of chlorylene to the cloth.
Push the cloth in from one end of the pipe and pull out from the other end. Every time the cloth is pulled
out, remove the dust and sundries with chlorylene. Wash repeatedly until the pipe is clean. This method
applies to straight pipes.
Cleaning with nitrogen: Blow off all dust and sundries in the pipe with nitrogen. This method applies
to coils.
After cleaning, cover the both ends of the pipe with a sealing cap or adhesive tape.
2.3 Pipe Bending
Processing methods:
Manual bending: applies to thin copper pipes (Φ6.35 mm to Φ12.7 mm)
Mechanical bending: applicable range (Φ6.35mm to Φ54.1mm)
Requirements:
The radius of the bending pipe must exceed 3.5D. The ratio of the short diameter after bending to
the original diameter must exceed 2/3.
Precautions:
During bending, there must be no corrugation or deformation inside the pipe.
The welding point of the pipe should not be at the bending part. The distance between the nozzle
welding joint and the bending part should be less than 100 mm.
2.4 Pipe Expanding
Pipe expanding is used to provide a welding point for pipe connection. Requirements on pipe
expanding are as follows:
2.4.1 All burrs and sundries inside the pipe must be cleared after cut-off.
2.4.2 Before pipe expanding, apply appropriate amount of lubricant on the surface of the pipe. (The
lubricant must meet the refrigerant system‘s requirements.)
2.4.3 Pipe expanding length must be in accordance with the insertion depth of the caliber.
2.4.4 To avoid leakage due to straight lines at the expanding point, turn round the copper pipe and
then make corrections.
2.4.5 Apply appropriate force during pipe expanding to avoid crack.
2.5 Flaring
Another mode of pipe connection is flare opening connection, which requires pipe flaring before
connection. Before pipe flaring, apply appropriate amount of lubricant on the surface of the opening to
ensure smooth pass of flaring nuts and avoid pipe distortion. (The lubricant must meet the refrigerant
system‘s requirements.) The concentricity must be ensured after pipe flaring. The sealing face must be
intact without any burr, crack, or wrinkle.
Requirements on pipe flaring are as follows:
a) End faces of the copper pipe are smooth.
b) Burrs and turnups inside the pipe opening must be cleared.
c) Install flaring nuts in the pipe before pipe flaring.

56
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

d) The flared opening must be concentric with the main pipe. No eccentricity is allowed.
e) Put the pipe into the root of the pipe expander.
f) Longitudinal cracks cannot be generated.
3. Installation of Refrigerant Pipes
3.1 Operation Sequence
The sequence for installing the refrigerant pipe is as follows:
Preparing and installing the support, hanger, and bracket – Piping according to the drawing –
Cleaning the pipe – Processing the pipe – Adding an insulation sleeve – Connecting the pipe – Fixing the
pipe – Blowing contaminants in the pipe system – Performing a air-tightness test – Performing insulation
3.2 Construction of Built-in Metal Fittings
3.2.1 Construction of supports, hangers, and brackets for pipes: These parts must be fixed securely
in reasonable type and style without any tilt. The surface is clean without any dirt. The parts embedded
into the wall or floor cannot be painted or coated and must be free from grease stains.
3.2.2 Construction of fixing bolts for devices: Ensure sufficient rigidity for the devices. Take
anticorrosive measures for exposed part of built-in fittings. If the foundation must be waterproof, takes
waterproof measures.
3.2.3 Construction of steel casings: Equip a steel casing for all pipes which are led through the wall
or floor. Pipe welding joints cannot be placed inside the sleeve. The steel casing must be parallel with the
bottom of the wall or floor but be 20 mm or more above the bottom. The diameter of the steel casing
must be determined based on the thickness of the insulation layer and the inclination degree of the
condensate water pipe. Fill the gap between the pipe and the sleeve with flexible and non-flammable
materials. The sleeve cannot be used as a support point of the pipe.
3.2.4 Operation Sequence
Drawing of built- Making Installing built-in
in metal fittings ink lines metal fittings

If possible, make ink lines on the ground and project them to the top of the building.
3.2.5 Installing Built-in Metal Fittings
Select built-in metal fittings in accordance with local regulations.
3.2.6 Installing Expansion Bolts
Use expansion bolts when built-in metal fittings are unavailable due to design change.
3.2.7 Installing Expansion Bolts
If the foot pedal is 2 m or more from the ground, there must be three points of support.
The foot pedal must be tightened securely with the ladder.
Do not perform operations on the top of the ladder.
3.3 Shaping and Fixing of Pipes
When installing refrigerant pipes, ensure that the directions and branches are correct with minimum
length. Use minimum number of braze welding junctions and elbows. Alignment and insulation after
installation cannot affect the pipe location and elevation. There shall not be flat bending or corrugation on
the pipe after piping.
Use angle steel support, bracket, round steel hanger, U-type pipe clip, or flat steel to fix pipes
outside the insulation layer. It is better that the insulation materials be not compressed to ensure good
insulation.
The style and workmanship of supports, hangers, and brackets must follow the standard T616
HVAC Systems Design Handbook.

57
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

The minimum distance between supports, hangers, and brackets is listed in the table below:
External Diameter of the
Pipe (mm) ф≤16 40>ф≥19.05 ф≥40
Distance between
Horizontal Pipes (mm) 1000 1500 2000
Distance between Vertical
Pipes (mm) 1500 2000 2500
The pipe led through a wall or beam must be fixed by a support, hanger, or bracket on both ends at
the position 300 mm away from the hole.
3.4 Pipe Connection
3.4.1 Flaring Connection
The refrigerant pipes and IDUs are connected by using the flare opening. Therefore, the quality of
flaring connection must be ensured. The flaring depth of the bell mouth cannot be smaller than the
caliber. The flaring direction must face towards the direction of medium flow. Use two torque wrenches to
fasten the connection.
3.4.2 Socket Welding
The gap between socket components should be proper to ensure that the connection will not loose
from the friction surface. The flaring direction of the socket component must face towards the direction of
medium flow .During pipe connect, protect the braze welding part according the length specified below:

A: External Diameter of B: Minimum Insertion D-A: Gap between Pipes

3.4.2 Bell Socket Welding
The bell socket welding is another form of socket welding. It uses the sleeve or pipe in a larger size
for welding. The insertion depth cannot be smaller than that required by socket welding.
3.4.5 Flange Connection
The pipes with large caliber and the devices are always connected by using a flange, which must be
clean and intact. Before installation, apply lubricant on the surface of the flange. Two flanges must be
symmetrical. Fasten with screws at the diagonal direction to avoid inclination.
3.5 Welding Protection
Aerate with nitrogen before and during welding and keep aerating for 30 s after the welding is
finished.

58
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Equip a pressure regulator valve to the nitrogen cylinder.


The nitrogen flow is above 4-6 L/min (pressure of 0.02 to 0.05 MPa) and must be regulated based
on the pipe caliber.
3.6 Requirements on Manifold Installation
Manifolds are used to divert refrigerant. Requirements on manifold installation are as follows:
A. Ensure that the manifold is close to the IDU to reduce impact on refrigerant assignment by IDU
branches.
B. The manifold must be that specified by the manufacture and match with the devices.
C. Ensure that the manifold model is correct.
D. Manifolds can be laid in the following ways:
D1. Horizontal installation: The three ports must be on the same level. The shaping size and
assembly angle cannot be changed.
D2. Vertical installation: The direction can be upwards or downwards. Three ports must be on the
same elevation without inclination.

G. The Y-type manifold has an attached pipe used to adjust the diameter of different pipes. If the
pipe size on site does not match the size of the manifold junction, use the pipe cutter to cut at the middle
of the pipe and remove burrs. Then insert the copper pipe to proper depth. A concave bag for positioning
is available to the manifold purchased from Gree.

H. Because the manifold structure is complex, perform with care to ensure tight insulation.
3.7 Pipe Cleaning by Nitrogen
Before connecting the flare opening of the pipe to the IDU, connect the pressure regulator valve on
the nitrogen cylinder to the liquid pipe in the outdoor pipe system. Regulate the nitrogen pressure to
about 5 kgf/cm²and blow nitrogen into the pipe for 1 minute . Repeat this operation for three times till the
dirt and water are discharged. After cleaning the liquid pipe, perform the same operation to clean the gas
pipe.
Leave the pipe disconnected

3.9 Filter and Drier Installation for the ODU


As the piping for the VRF system is complex, it is recommended that a filter is installed for the gas
pipe and a drier is installed for the liquid pipe during construction. This ensures aridity and cleanness of
the piping system and further improves the operation stability of the system.
The procedure is as follows:
First, weld a stop valve with the corresponding caliber to the gas pipe and liquid pipe at the position
relatively close to the ODU and easy for operation.
Second, install a filter (100 mesh/ft2) between the added stop valve outside the gas pipe and the
stop valve of the ODU. Then install a drier filter between the added stop valve outside the liquid pipe and
the stop valve of the ODU.
Lastly, after the test run is complete,
To remove the filter from the gas pipe after starting all IDUs and keeping them running cooling mode
for 24 hours: (1) Power off all units. (2) Turn off the two stop valves of the gas pipe. (3) Remove the filter.
(4) Short connect with a copper pipe with the same caliber and vacuumize the pipe. (5) Open the two
stop valves and keep normal running.
To remove the drier filter from the liquid pipe after starting all IDUs and keeping them running in
heating mode for 24 hours: (1) Power off all units. (2) Turn off the two stop valves of the liquid pipe. (3)
Remove the drier filter. (4) Short connect with a copper pipe with the same caliber and vacuumize the
pipe. (5) Turn on the two stop valves and keep normal running.

Part 8: Vacuumization and Desiccation for


the Refrigerant System
Works for the refrigerant system include cleaning and desiccating the pipes, performing an air-tightness
test, and perfusing refrigerant.

I. Air-tightness Test
1. Importance of the Air-tightness Test
Air-tightness of the multi-module air conditioning system mainly refers to the tightness of the refrigerant
pipes, which ensures secure and reliable running of the air conditioner.
Refrigerant leakage may affect functions of the air conditions or even damage the compressor and make
the system to break down. Therefore, a air-tightness test must be performed. If refrigerant leakage is
detected after the system is installed, it is very difficult to locate the leaking point as the suspending
ceiling has been decorated. Therefore, the air-tightness test must be performed before ceiling sealing for
indoor decoration is finished.
2. Procedure for Performing the Air-tightness Test
Stop valves of the gas and liquid pipes of the ODU are turned off at delivery.
Before test, apply a small amount of required lubricant on the block nut and pipe terminals and use two
wrenches to fix the block nut.
The ODU pipes cannot be connected when the air-tightness test is being performed.
The test pressure for R410A system is 4.0 MPa. Use dry nitrogen as media for the air-tightness test.
Increase the pressure slowly by following the steps below:
Step 1: Increase the pressure to 0.5 MPa. Stop for 5 minutes and then perform air-tightness check. Major
leakage may be detected.
Step 2: Increase the pressure to 1.5 MPa. Stop for 5 minutes and then perform air-tightness check. Minor
leakage may be detected.
Step 3: Increase the pressure for R410A system to 4.15 MPa. Stop for 5 minutes and then perform
strength check. Slight leakage or blow holes may be detected.After increasing the pressure to the test
pressure, keep the pressure for 24 hours and check whether it decreases. If the pressure does not
decrease, it meets the requirement.
3. Precautions:
a. The measuring range of the test pressure gauge for R410A system must be above 4.5 MPa.
b. Record the value displayed on the pressure gauge, ambient temperature, and test time.
c. Pressure correction: The pressure changes by 0.01 MPa when the temperature changes by 1°C.
d. The pressure meets the requirement if it does not change.
e. If the pressure must be kept for a long time, decrease the pressure to 0.5 MPa or lower. High pressure
for a long time may cause leakage at the welding point or safety hazard.
f. Before performing the air-tightness test to the refrigerant pipes, do not conduct insulation or wrapping
at the welding or flaring opening joints of the IDU. The pressure must be increased simultaneously for
pipes on outdoor sides and cannot be increased for pipes on one side.

4. Note: Before performing the air-tightness test, do not conduct insulation or wrapping at the welding
joints.

73
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

II. Vacuumization and Desiccation for the


System
1. Requirements on the Vacuum Pump
The vacuum pump for different refrigerant systems cannot be the same.
The ultimate vacuum degree of the vacuum pump should reach -0.1 MPa.
The air discharge capacity of the vacuum pump must be greater than 4 L/S.
The precision of the vacuum pump must be greater than 0.02 mmHg.
The system vacuum pump must be equipped with a check valve.
2. Procedure and Precautions for Vacuumization and Desiccation
2.1 Procedure
a. Before vacuumization, ensure that the stop valves of the gas and liquid pipes are turned off.
b. Use the perfusing duct to connect the regulator valve and vacuum pump to detection connectors of
the gas pipe and liquid pipe.
c. Vacuumize for 4 hours and check whether the vacuum degree reaches -0.1 MPa or more. If not,
leakage may exist. Perform leakage check again. If no leakage exists, continue to vacuumize for 2
hours.
f. If the vacuum degree cannot be kept after vacuumization is performed for twice, there may be water
in the pipe when it is confirmed that no leakage exists. In this case, discharge water by means of
vacuum breaking. Perfuse nitrogen at 0.05 MPa to the pipe. Vacuumize for 2 hours and keep
vacuuming for 1 hour. If the vacuum degree of -0.1 MPa cannot be reached, repeat this operation till
water is discharged.
g. After vacuumization, turn off the regulator valve and keep for 1 hour. Ensure that the pressure of the
regulator valve does not increase.
2.2. Precautions:
a. The gas pipe and liquid pipe must be vacuumized at the same time.

b. Turn off the valve before powering off the vacuum pump.
c. Keep vacuuming for 2 hours. The vacuum meets the requirement if the pressure displayed by the
vacuum gauge does not increase.
d. The units parallel connected to the module and oil-equalizing pipe also need to be vacuumized.

Note:
(1) Rated capacity configuration rate C for IDUs and ODUs = Sum of rated cooling capacity of IDUs/Sum
of rated cooling capacity of ODUs
(2) If all IDUs are fresh air IDUs in GMV-NX series, the quantity of refrigerant perfused for each module
(B) is 0 kg.

Examples
Example 1:
The ODU consists of modules GMV-280WM/B-X, GMV-400WM/B-X, and GMV-450WM/B-X. The IDU
consists of 8 pieces of GMV-ND140PLS/A-T.
Rated capacity configuration rate C for IDUs and ODUs = 140 x 8/(280+400+450) = 99%. The number of
IDUs is greater than 4, according to the above table,
The quantity of refrigerant perfused for module GMV-280WM/B-X (B) is 2.0kg.
The quantity of refrigerant perfused for module GMV-400WM/B-X (B) is 3.5kg.
The quantity of refrigerant perfused for module GMV-450WM/B-X (B) is 3.5kg.
Therefore,
∑ Quantity of refrigerant perfused for each module (B) = 2.0+3.5+3.5 = 9.0 kg

Assume that the quantity of refrigerant perfused for the pipe (A) = ∑ Length of the liquid pipe x Quantity
of refrigerant perfused for the liquid pipe per meter = 25 kg
Total quantity of refrigerant perfused for the system (R) = 25+9 = 34 kg

Example 2:

GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

(X4.0)-M. The quantity of perfused refrigerant for this module is 0 kg.


Therefore,
∑ Quantity of refrigerant perfused for each module (B) = 0 kg

Assume that the quantity of refrigerant perfused for the pipe (A) = ∑ Length of the liquid pipe x Quantity
of refrigerant perfused for the liquid pipe per meter = 5kg
Total quantity of refrigerant perfused for the system (R) = 5+0= 5 kg

II. Method for Perfusing Refrigerant


Refrigerant perfusion for the VRF system is classified into pre-perfusion and perfusion during running.
1. Refrigerant Pre-perfusion
Step 1: Connect the high pressure gauge pipe to the detection opening of the liquid pipe, the low
pressure gauge pipe to the detection opening of the gas pipe, and the medium gauge pipe to the
vacuum pump. Power on the vacuum pump to perform vacuumization and desiccation.
Step 2: After vacuumization and desiccation are finished, turn off valves of the high pressure gauge and
low pressure gauge. Disconnect the medium gauge pipe from the vacuum pump and connect it
to the refrigerant tank.
Step 3: Properly loosen the joint between the medium gauge pipe and the pressure gauge and slightly
turn on the valve of the refrigerant tank. Vacuumize the medium gauge pipe. After that, fasten
the joint and turn on the valve of the refrigerant tank completely.
Step 4: If the refrigerant tank is not equipped with a siphon, reverse the refrigerant tank and place it on
the electronic scale. Then record the current weight (m1). If the refrigerant tank is equipped with
a siphon, record the current weight (m1) directly.

Step 5: Turn on the valve of the high pressure gauge (while keep the valve of the high pressure gauge
turned off) and then perfuse refrigerant to the system. Record the change of weight of the
refrigerant tank.
Step 6: When all refrigerant in the refrigerant tank is perfused, record the current weight m2.
Step 7: Turn off the valve of the high pressure gauge and replace the refrigerant tank.
Step 8: Perform step 3 again.
Step 9: Perform step 5 and step 6 again. Record the weight before perfusion m3 and weight after
perfusion m4.
Step 10:If there is no sufficient refrigerant and the calculated quantity of refrigerant is not fulfilled for the
system, record the current total perfusion quantity.
76
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

m=(m1-m2)+(m3-m4)+…+(mn-1-mn)
Quantity of refrigerant to be perfused during running m`=M-m
M is the required total quantity
If the pre-perfusion quantity (m) reaches the required total quantity for the system, turn off the valve of
the refrigerant tank immediately to finish perfusing and proceed with step 11.
Step 11: Remove the pressure gauge.

2. Refrigerant Perfusion During Running


Step 1: Turn off the valve of the refrigerant tank and reconnect the pressure gauge pipe. Disconnect the
low pressure gauge pipe from the detection valve opening of the gas liquid and connect it to the
low pressure detection valve, as shown in the following figure.

Step 2: Turn on the valves for the liquid and gas pipes of each module completely. For the modular unit,
the oil-equalizing valve of each module also needs to be turned on.

Part 3 Commissioning Process


Note:
! It is forbidden to directly connect the compressor with power supply and forcibly power it on
during commissioning and maintenance.
! Engineering commissioning operations must be performed on the GMV5 serial unit. Otherwise,
the unit cannot properly run.
! Before commissioning is completed, the main board of ODU displays "module address 0F A0"
and that of IDU displays “A0”.
! A module must be set to master module and only one can be set during commissioning.
! An IDU must be set to master IDU and only one can be set during commissioning.
! Other functions can use the factory settings if there are not special engineering requirements.

I. Necessity of VRF Engineering


Commissioning
Different form ordinary air conditioning units, the VRF system raises high design requirements and easily
incurs operation-affected factors such as impurities and water during engineering installation. Due to the
requirements on engineering design/installation complexity and high-precise system control,
commissioning is mandatory after engineering installation. Only a qualified unit can be delivered for use.

II. Required Files and Tools for Engineering


Commissioning
1. Required Tools for Engineering Commissioning of GREE VRF
Inner hexagon spanner Digital thermometer
Shifting spanner Noise meter
Cross screwdriver Clamp meter
Straight screwdriver Digital multimeter
Vacuum pump Electricity meter
Electronic balance Timer
System high and low pressure gauges
for corresponding refrigerants Step ladder
Wind-speed transmitter
The GMV5 VRF provides two commissioning methods. One is to perform commissioning by pressing
buttons on the main board of ODU. The other is to perform commissioning on a PC through professional
software. Parameters of the ODU and IDU can be simultaneously displayed with the second method.
(For details about these methods, refer to respective instructions.)
2. Commissioning Files
The following commissioning files are required to record installation and commissioning of units:
pre-commissioning scheme determination meeting minutes, commissioning personnel record tables,
commissioning system appearance check record tables, commissioning data record tables, and
commissioning reports. See attached tables for file formats.

III. Engineering Commissioning Procedures


Step 1: Pre-commissioning Preparations
1.1 Overall Commissioning Plan
Before commissioning, the person-in-charge should learn about the overall engineering progress plan,
overall workload of engineering commissioning, possible influence factors in achieving the
commissioning progress, and required labors and materials.
1.2 Composition of Commissioning Members
Commissioning members comprise aftersales commissioning personnel and installation personnel.
All commissioning participants must take part in professional training courses before unit commissioning.
All participants can be grouped as required and each group should include at least professional

100
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

commissioning personnel and assistants.


1.3 Preparations of Commissioning Tools and Instruments
a. Make sure that the following tools or instruments are prepared before commissioning.
b. Make sure that the commissioning software is correct before commissioning.
The professional aftersales commissioning software provided by GREE should be used for
commissioning of GREE VRF system.
c. Make sure that all required files and parameter records are prepared.
Step 2: Pre-commissioning Check
Installation environment check covers the heat exchange environment of unit and electromagnetic
radiant components. All requirements should comply with national and local electrical standards. For any
installation incompliance, records should be made for providing an analysis basis during refrigerating
system testing.
2.2 Installation Appearance Check
Installation appearance check covers whether pipeline installation complies with specifications, whether
refrigerant pipes and condensing drainage pipes are thermal insulated, and whether
Refrigerant pipes should be tidily installed, with outdoor and indoor disperse pipes leaning in the
required scope. For any installation incompliance, records should be made for providing an analysis
basis during refrigerating system testing.
Refrigerant pipes and condensing drainage pipes should not be exposed. If any pipe is exposed, an
immediate amendment is required to avoid serious loss.
2.3 Refrigerating System Check
1) Before commissioning, make sure that the stop valve of each module reaches the maximum opening
degree. Check whether there is any refrigerator oil leakage around the valve. If there is, immediately
check for leakage with soap bubbles or leak detectors. If confirming that leakage exists, immediately
stop commissioning and solve the problem before continuing commissioning.

2) Check system refrigerants before startup.


Before the system is started, connect the liquid-tube valve of ODU with a high pressure gauge and the
air-tube valve of ODU with a low pressure gauge, and then read their values. In this case, high pressure
and low pressure of the system should be in balance status, and the difference between the saturation
temperature corresponding to the balanced pressure value and the environment temperature (the higher
in outdoor and indoor temperatures is taken as environment temperature) should not be larger than 5°C.
If the difference is larger than 5°C, it is required to check the ODU for leakage.
Note: Guarantee that the system has never been started before this test. Otherwise, the high pressure
value will be over-higher than the environment temperature or the low pressure value will be over-lower
than the environment temperature.
Example:
The outdoor environment temperature is 30°C and the indoor environment temperature is 28°C. The
pressure gauges connected with the system show that the high pressure value is 28°C and the low
pressure value is 27°C. The difference between the o utdoor environment temperature and either
pressure value is less than 5°C. It indicates that the system standby pressure is normal.

101
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

2.4 Electrical System Check


1) Check for high electromagnetic interference, dusts, and acidic or alkaline gas in the unit
environment.
a. The air conditioning unit can neither share the same power supply system with the equipment
containing variable-frequency drives, nor reside near the equipment generating high electromagnetic
interference. Otherwise, the air conditioning unit may fail to properly work due to interference. If this case
exists, records should be made. In the case of serious influence, the air conditioning unit must be
relocated or relevant measures must be taken.
b. Prevent acidic or alkaline gas/liquid from rusting cables of the air conditioning unit.
2) Check the installation appearance of power cables.
Check whether power cables of indoor and ODUs are installed according to vendor requirements and
whether cable connectors are reliably connected. Except the connection part of patch panels, wire
exposure is not allowed on any connection part of power cables.
3) Check the power capacity required for the unit.
The air conditioning unit works at a current much larger than the rated current (the working current
changes in a large scope in different conditions). The power grid provides unstable voltages and the line
power factor decreases. Therefore, the power capacity should not be less than the maximum power of
the unit.
4) Check air switches and fuse links for their models and using methods.
a. Commercial air conditioning units must be installed with independent air switches, fuse links, and
similar protectors. Reasonable models and using methods should be selected for air switches and fuse
links.
Remarks:
a1. Air switches work for overload and short-circuit protection. Air switches provide a less breaking
current than fuse links and air switches react more slowly than fuse links. The advantage of air switches
is that they can be manually reset after a protection action.
a2. Fuse links only work for short-circuit protection. They provide a large breaking current and act slowly.
However, fuses must be replaced after a protection action.
b. Select air switch models according to the power cable diameter and air switch specifications. In
general, the rated current of air switches should be larger than or equal to the load current calculated
based on the line, and less than or equal to the persistent current rating allowed by the conductor.
5) Check components in the electric box.
In the case of unit power-off, visually check whether any component in the electric box drops during
transportation. Then, check whether any component or cable is loose or drops by hand. For a
large-scale unit, power cable terminals of the patch panel and cable terminals connected with
connectors must be tightened with a sleeve spanner or screwdriver, and tightened once more after two
months of normal operation. Auxiliary contacts of AC connectors cannot be removed because they have
been debugged upon factory departure.
6) Check the input power.
a. Power consistency check: Measure the power supply to be connected with the air conditioning unit for
its voltage, frequency, three-phase voltage unbalance factor, and frequency offset. Specifications of the
power supply should be consistent with power specifications displayed on the unit nameplate. The
fluctuation range of voltage should be within ±10%.

102
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

b. Phase sequence check:


b1. After powering on the unit, measure the grounded voltage value of N-bit on the power patch panel
and the voltage value between every two of L1, L2, and L3 bits. In general, the voltage between N-bit
and L1/L2/L3-bit should approach 220 V and the voltage between every two of L1, L2, and L3 bits should
approach 380 V. If the measurement result does not match the above-mentioned normal value, check
whether the external power cable is inversely connected between the N wire and one of L wires.
b2. Observe the code displayed on the digital LED of the main board AP1. If the fault code ―U3‖ is
displayed, it indicates that the phase sequence of the external power cable connected with the air
conditioning unit is incorrect. Power off the unit and exchange any two phases among L1, L2, and L3 bits
on one end of the external power cable. Power on the unit and observe the code again. The fault code
―U3‖ should disappear.
2.5 Communication System Check
1) The following communication contents must be checked again before commissioning:

2) Communication cables cannot be laid out in the same trough as power cables. Communication cables
should be independently laid out in hard fire-resistant PVC tubes. The parallel spacing between
communication cables and strong electric wires should be larger than 20 cm.

3.1 Precautions
1) Before starting commissioning, make sure that the unit compressor has been preheated for more than
eight hours and check whether preheating is normal by touching. Commissioning can be started only
when preheating is normal. Otherwise, the compressor may be damaged. Commissioning must be
performed or guided by professional personnel.

104
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Has the compressor


been preheated for
more than eight
hours?

2) When unit commissioning is started, the system automatically selects an operation mode according to
the environment temperature:
Cooling mode when the outdoor environment temperature is higher than 20°C.
Heating mode when the outdoor environment temperature is lower than 20°C.
3) Before starting commissioning, make sure again that stop valves of all basic modules of the ODU
have been completely opened.
4) During commissioning, the front panel of ODU must be completely covered. Otherwise,
commissioning accuracy may be affected (as shown in the following figure).

5) Before commissioning, make sure that appending refrigerants to pipes has finished completely or for
more than 70%.

Note: In commissioning status, press and hold "SW3" and "SW4" simultaneously for more than
five seconds to enter the no-wired-controller commissioning mode. In this mode, the system
does not detect the communication status between the wired controller and IDU.
3.2 Commissioning Operation Mode
The GMV5 VRF provides two commissioning methods. One is to perform commissioning through the
main board of ODU. The other is to perform commissioning on a PC through professional software.
Parameters of the ODU and IDU can be simultaneously displayed and historical data can be stored and
queried with the second method. (For details about these methods, refer to respective instructions.)
3.2.1 Commissioning Through the Main Board of ODU
When unit commissioning is performed through the main board of ODU, the main board provides
the following commissioning operation functions:
Step 1: Completely cover the front panel of ODU and open commissioning windows of all basic
modules.

Step 2: In power-off status of ODU, set the ODU to a corresponding static pressure mode according to
static pressure design requirements for outdoor engineering. For details about the setting method, see
the "Outdoor Fan Static Pressure Setting DIP Switch (SA6_ESP_S)" section. If there are not static
pressure requirements, retain the factory settings.
Step 3: In power-off status of ODU, set one module of ODU to master unit and other modules to
sub-modules. For details about the setting method, see the "Master Unit Setting DIP Switch
(SA8_MASTER-S)" section.
Step 4: If centralized control is required, set the centralized control address in power-off status of ODU.
For details about the setting method, see the "Centralized Control Address DIP Switch (SA2_Addr-CC)"
section. If centralized control is not required, retain the factory settings.
Step 5: Power on all outdoor and IDUs. If LED3 displays ―A0‖ on main boards of all modules of ODU and
the wired controller of each IDU displays ―A0‖, it indicates that the unit is in non-commissioning status.

109
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Step 6: Find the module with its address being ―01‖, which is the master unit. On the master unit, press
and hold "SW7" for more than five seconds to enter unit commissioning.

Step 7: Wait for the unit to automatically operate commissioning steps 01 and 02.

Note: During commissioning, users must listen to the operating sound of outdoor and indoor fans and
compressors to check for exceptions.
3.4 Operations after Commissioning
Sort and save data. Make detailed records of exceptions and troubleshooting methods during
commissioning for later maintenance and query. At last, make a commissioning report and hand it over
to users.
3.5 Precautions to Let Users Know after Commissioning
 Let users know where the master IDU is located and stick a label to the master IDU. Tell users that
modes of other IDUs are limited by the mode of master IDU.
 An ODU that has been in power-off status for more than 24 hours should be preheated for more than
eight hours before startup to prevent damaging compressors.

Note: Solution of C5 fault when multiple cooling systems are controlled in a centralized way
When multiple cooling systems are controlled in a centralized way, the C5 fault, i.e. project
number conflict, may occur on different cooling systems. In such case, set project numbers of
each system and solve the fault as follows:
1) Project number conflict:
When multiple systems are controlled in a centralized way, if two or more IDUs share the same
project number, the engineer number conflict occurs. In that case, IDUs cannot be switched to
varied modes or be turned on or off. The whole device cannot be started before the conflict is
solved. The commissioning software will show the following page:

When the project number conflict occurs, you can use the communicator or remote controller to
revise project numbers and solve the conflict. See the manual of the communicator or remote
controller for the method.
③Setting of auto project number deviation on ODU's main board (recommended)
You can set auto IDU project number deviation via the ODU's main board as follows:

IDU project numbers in all systems will automatically deviate. The conflict will be solved in about
1 minute and the system will work properly.
The automatic deviation function only works when it is enabled on the controlling unit in the
system, of which the centralized control address is 00000.
Note: When there are only a few conflicting IDUs, manual setting is recommended. This method
only applies to conflicting IDUs and does only affect other IDUs' project numbers.
In case of many conflicting IDUs, auto deviation is recommended. This method is faster, but may
change project numbers of normal IDUs. This method applies for the first commissioning after
installation.

When the system shows high exhaust temperature protection for compressor, the IDU will show high
exhaust temperature fault E4, while the IDU will show the specific faulty compressor.
For example, when high exhaust temperature protection is enabled on compressor 2# of module 3# of
the ODU, IDUs will show E4 and the module will show E6, indicating that high exhaust temperature
protection is enabled on compressor 2#.

I. Cautions on Controller AP1 Replacement
1. Cautions on ODU AP1 Replacement
1.1 Distinguishing Master Module from Slave Module
Before replacing ODU AP1, determine the module is a master ODU or a slave ODU. They can be
distinguished based on:
①―Master module DIP state (SA8_MASTER-S)‖
Every cooling system has only one master module (set in power-off state). When a DIP is ―ON‖, the
corresponding position is ―0‖; when the DIP is ―OFF‖, the corresponding position is ―1‖. If
SA8_MASTER-S is set to ―00‖, it indicates a master module; if it is set to ―10‖, it indicates a slave module
(as shown in the figure below).

DIP setting DIP setting


position position

DIP setting DIP setting

Master module state Slave module state

②AP1 LED
When a master module is powered on, LED1 is displayed as ―01‖. For a slave module, LED1 is
displayed as ―02‖, ―03‖ or ―04‖ (as shown in the figure below).

Or Or

LED1 display state LED1 display state LED1 display state LED1 display state

Master module state Slave module state Slave module state Slave module state

1.2 Cautions on Replacement of Master ODU AP1


Before replacing master module AP1, make the following preparations:
①Master module DIP setting
Set the new AP1 identical to the faulty AP1. Note that settings must be performed when the master ODU
is powered off and they will take effect after the ODU is powered on. Settings that are performed in
power-on state are invalid.
②Communication state check
After AP1 DIP setting and all wiring, power on the master ODU AP1 and check whether D3 and D4 LEDs
are flashing. See the figure below:

IDU and ODU Inter-system Main


Power Running Reserved

GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

is faulty. Check communication lines connecting the ODU and IDUs.


Note: After AP1 is replaced, you should power on the ODU and IDUs at the same time or power on the
ODU first; otherwise, ―CC does not have module‖ will be prompted and a ―C0 fault‖ alarm will be reported
by the IDUs.
③Master ODU engineering debug setting
Debug the entire system after master module AP1 replacement.
④System parameter setting
After system debug, reset system parameters. For details, refer to section 1 ―ODU Function Setting‖, in
part II, chapter III.
1.3 Cautions on Replacement of Slave ODU AP1
Before replacing slave module AP1, set DIP identical to that of the faulty AP1, check wiring, and then
power on the AP1.
2. Cautions on IDU AP1 Replacement
Before replacing IDU AP1, determine the module is a master IDU or a slave IDU.
2.1 AP1 DIP Setting and Jumper Cap Confirmation
Whatever the AP1 you replace is a master IDU AP1 or a slave IDU AP1, after it is replaced,
check original DIP setting and model.
Configure capacity DIP for the new AP1 and confirm its jumper cap, fan overload detect
terminal, and overflow detect terminal. They should be kept identical to those of the faulty
AP1.
Their positions and corresponding silkscreen are as follows:
Capacity DIP: S1 (Capacity)
Jumper cap: U22 (Jump)
Overflow detect terminal: CN35(WATER-DTCT)
Fan overload detect terminal: CN36(OVC-FAN)

2.2. Restoring AP1 Engineering Parameters to Factory Settings (This Step Is Not
Required for Original Packaged Parts)
After wiring, whatever the AP1 is a master IDU AP1 or a slave IDU AP1, the new AP1 must
be restored to factory settings. There are three methods to restore engineering parameter
settings:
① If the IDU is configured with wired control, set P35 and P36 to default values.
② If the IDU is configured with wireless control, use the special control YV1L1 to set P35
and P36 to default values.
③ If the IDU is configured with wireless control and special control, you can restore
engineering settings through the AP1 SW1 button. After AP1 is powered on, press and
hold SW1 for 5 seconds. If a tick sound is heard, release the button.

173
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

SW1

2.3 Cautions on Replacement of Master IDU AP1


If the AP1 of the master IDU needs to be replaced, after the IDU is powered on, ―No master
IDU (L7)‖ or ―Project number conflict (C5)‖ alarm may be reported.
①Troubleshoot for ―no master IDU (L7)‖ fault

Number

Auto

Method 1: If the IDU is configured with wired control, stop the IDU (except for lock mode) and press and
hold the ―MODE‖ button for 5 seconds to enter setting mode. After setting, the ―Master‖ icon will be
highlighted and the wired control buzzer will beep once.
Method 2: If the IDU is configured with lamp board or wired control, set to fan mode, 30°C/86 °F, and
press and hold ―-‖ and ―+‖ consecutively three times within 5 seconds. The IDU and wired control will
identify it as a master IDU setting command, and show ―set master IDU success (UC)‖ (5 seconds) and
highlight the ―Master‖ icon respectively.
Method 3: If the IDU is configured with the Debugger, set the IDU to master IDU through this software.
②Troubleshoot for ―project number conflict (C5)‖

174
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Number

Auto

If this fault occurs, the number of the new AP1 is identical to that of a unit within the network. Manually
change it to the original number of the faulty AP1 or a unique number. There are three methods to
change project number:
Method 1: If the IDU is configured with wired control, set P42 to a new project number.
Method 2: If the IDU is configured with lamp board, use the special control YV1L1 to set P42 to a new
project number.
Method 3: If the IDU is configured with the Debugger, configure a new project number through this
software.
Tip:
If there are N units within the network, the units should be numbered from N+1.
Special situation:
In some cases, the created project number is identical to that of a unit within the network. In this case,
you can use the ―one-key IDU project number reset‖ function. However, this function will cause the
project number of the entire system to be re-distributed; thus, original number will be changed. If you do
not expect this result, forbid the use of this function and replace the AP1 again.
Methods to use the ―one-key IDU project number reset‖ function:
Method 1: If the IDU is configured with wired control, set P45 to reset IDU project number through one
key function.
Method 2: If the IDU is configured with lamp board, use the special control YV1L1 to set P45 and reset
IDU project number through one key function.
Method 3: On the AP1 of the master ODU, press and hold SW5 for 10 seconds at least to clear all
project numbers of the IDUs and then redistribute project numbers. Other parameters are kept
unchanged.

GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

2.4 Cautions on Replacement of Slave IDU AP1


If the AP1 of a slave IDU needs to be replaced, after it is powered on, ―Project number
conflict (C5)‖ alarm may be reported. Refer to section 2.3 ―Cautions on Replacement of
Master IDU AP1‖ to address the issue.
3. Cautions on Wired Control Replacement
3.1. Cautions on Wired Control XK46 Replacement
(1) If the wired control to be replaced controls only one IDU, directly replace the control.
(2) If the wired control to be replaced controls multiple IDUs, perform the steps below first:
Set the wired control parameter ―P14‖ to change the number of managed IDUs to the actual quantity the
control manages. For example, if the wired control manages 3 IDUs, set this parameter to 3. If you keep
the default value 1, the LCD displays L9 (as shown in the figure below).

Auto

(3) If there are two wired controls controlling one or multiple IDUs, perform the steps below first:
Set the wired control parameter ―P13‖ to change the address of one control to 01 (master) and that of the
other control to 02 (slave); otherwise, a CP (multiple master wired controls) fault alarm will be reported
(as shown in the figure below).

Auto

After setting, the LCD displays the icon, as shown in the figure below.

Auto

176
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Note: All wired controls are set to master wired controls by default.
(4) If the AP1 of the master IDU is replaced,
Reset the master IDU through the wired control; otherwise, the LCD displays L7 (no master IDU). There
are two methods to set the IDU:
①In shut mode, press and hold the ―MODE‖ button for 5 seconds and set the IDU corresponding to this
wired control to a master IDU. After setting, the ―Main‖ icon is highlighted.
②Set the wired control parameter ―P10‖ to 1.
3.2. Cautions on Wired Control XK49 Replacement
To replace the wired control XK49, in addition to the preceding handling steps specific for XK46, you
should also configure access control.
(1) If the wired control does not need an access control system, set switch ―1‖ for DIP S1 at the bottom of
the wired control to digital end (neglect switch ―2‖).
(2) If the wired control needs an access control system, set switch ―1‖ for DIP S1 at the bottom of the
wired control to ON (neglect switch ―2‖) and connect the access control card interface to ports N and L or
ports VCC and GND of the wiring terminal. The following should be noted:
①Ports N and L are power interfaces of 100-240V~50/60Hz access control.
②Ports VCC and GND are power interfaces of DC 5-24V access control.
③Either of them can be selected at one time.

II. Compressor Replacement and Cautions


1. Determining Compressor Fault
1.1 Precondition: Units can be normally started.
Step 1:
If units can be normally started, start the units so as to measure line current of the faulty compressor.
Use a pressure gauge to measure pressure of various valves and connect the gauge to a PC for viewing
test data. Verify the current data in the figures below against the current recommended. For inverter
compressors, current will be deviated 10% while rate of turn and operating condition vary.
①For inverter compressors E655DHD-65D2YG and E705DHD-72D2YG:
The figure below shows current curves that change with evaporating temperature and condensing
temperature while the compressors work at 30 Hz.

Step 2:
Check whether the compressor sounds sharp or rubs. Compare the sound of the faulty compressor with
that of normal ones.
Step 3:
Check whether the electric expansion valves of ODUs and the 4-way valves act, and whether the oil
return pipes and oil balance valves 1 and 2 are normal. Touch the pipelines next to the return capillary
tubes to check whether there is oil flowing.
Check method for each part:
①Electric expansion valve: This valve will reset for each power-on or power-off action. Touch the valve
and you will feel its vibration during the reset action. A crack sound will be heard as well.

②Four-way valve: While this valve is normally running, the four copper pipes connected to it will suffer
different temperature. When a unit switches to act the valve, you will feel obvious vibration and hear
sound.

Here is the position of a 4-way


valve within a unit. DO NOT
touch it. The exhaust pipe it

Watch out for scald!

Labels on the 4-way valve and their meanings: D – connects to exhaust; E – connects to IDU evaporator;
S – connects to intake of gas separator; C – connects to condenser. When the system is cooling, the
pipe at side C works at high pressure high temperature, the pipes at sides E and S work at low pressure
low temperature; when the system is heating, the pipe at side E works at high pressure high temperature,
the pipes at sides C and S work at low pressure low temperature. The pipe at side D connects to exhaust
and it is always working at high pressure high temperature. When units are starting, defrosting, or
returning oil, the valve will vibrate obviously. DO NOT touch the pipe; or, you may be scalded.

③Oil balance solenoid valve: This valve can be operated based on its state that is shown through the
monitoring software and actual situation. When this valve is opened, the coil will be heated and lubricant
at both sides of the valve flows.

Step 4:
Test the compressor drive, namely the IPM module, to see whether it is normal.
1. Disconnect the power supply. Five minutes later, remove the line of the faulty compressor.
2. Set a multimeter to gear diode. As shown in the figure below, put the black test probe to pad P (on the
left of pad U (BL)) and the red test probe to pad U (BL) (make sure the moisture proof tape is removed).
In normal cases, the multimeter should read 0.39±0.3 V. If it is ―0‖ or infinitely great, the IPM module is
faulty.

181
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

3. As shown in the figure below, put the black test probe to pad P and the red test probe to pad V (YE)
(make sure the moisture proof tape is removed). In normal cases, the multimeter should read 0.39±0.3 V.
If it is ―0‖ or infinitely great, the IPM module is faulty.

4. As shown in the figure below, put the black test probe to pad P and the red test probe to pad W (RD)
(make sure the moisture proof tape is removed). In normal cases, the multimeter should read 0.39±0.3 V.
If it is ―0‖ or infinitely great, the IPM module is faulty.

5. As shown in the figure below, put the black test probe to pad U (BL) and the red test probe to pad NU
(make sure the moisture proof tape is removed). In normal cases, the multimeter should read 0.39±0.3 V.
If it is ―0‖ or infinitely great, the IPM module is faulty.

182
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

6. As shown in the figure below, put the black test probe to pad V (YE) and the red test probe to pad NV
(make sure the moisture proof tape is removed). In normal cases, the multimeter should read 0.39±0.3 V.
If it is ―0‖ or infinitely great, the IPM module is faulty.

183
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

7. As shown in the figure below, put the black test probe to pad W (RD) and the red test probe to pad NW
(make sure the moisture proof tape is removed). In normal cases, the multimeter should read 0.39±0.3 V.
If it is ―0‖ or infinitely great, the IPM module is faulty.

1.2 Precondition: Units cannot be normally started.


Step 1:
Disconnect the power supply of the units and open the electric junction box of the compressor to see
whether wiring of the compressor is intact.
Step 2:
Measure resistance between two wiring terminals (U, V, W). The resistance value range should be
0.5~2.0 Ω.

Measure
resistance
between two
wiring terminals
using a multimeter

Measure the
resistance to earth of
each wiring terminal
one after another

Measure the resistance to earth of each wiring terminal. The value should be 10 MΩ. If not, the
compressor has an internal fault.
Step 3:
Check the solenoid valves of the system, include electric expansion valves, oil return valves, and oil
balance valves. Refer to the preceding section for the test method.
Step 4:
Check the IPM module. Refer to the preceding section for the test method.

184
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

2. Compressor Replacement (GMV-450WM/A)


Step 1: Disconnect power supply.
Turn off the power switch of the ODUs and disconnect the line of the power supply and the power line of
the ODUs. Meanwhile, cover the power line with tape for insulation and put a warning sign beside the
power switch to prevent electric shock.
Step 2: Clear electric parts (do not need to disassemble the electric box).
Before removing compressors‘ lines, temperature sensors, and electric heaters, mark them so that you
will reconnect them in a correct manner after clearing. The removed electric box must be covered and
protected from wind and sun.

For GMV5 series, only GMV-400WM/B and GMV-450WM/B units are configured with the left electric box,
which contains mainly the drive of the compressor E405DHD-38D2YG. After the box is removed, take
care with the removal of electric parts‘ lines. DO NOT pull the lines with excessive force; or they may be
broken. The removed electric box must be protected for dustproof and waterproof purposes.

185
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Step 3: Check oil quality.

Oil checking
valve

Before releasing the refrigerant, get some freezing oil through the oil checking valve. Connect a rubber
hose to the oil checking valve at one end and a glass container at the other end. Open the oil checking
valve. Control oil flow speed. Since the oil is a mixture of volatile refrigerant and lubricant, DO NOT cover
the container; or it may explode.
After the lubricant is fully gasified, record the volume of oil.

Step 4: Release refrigerant.


Refrigerant should be released from the high pressure side and low pressure side at the same time. If it
is released from one side only, the scroll is sealed, causing the refrigerant to fail to be released
completely. Control the release speed (it is expected to release for 12 hours or more). If too fast, massive
lubricant will be discharged with the refrigerant. Make sure to mark the valves.

After the compressor and oil separator are removed, check oil quality. If oils are contaminated, replace
the compressor, oil separator, and gas/liquid separator. If oil changes to black, check oils of other
modular units. The check procedure is similar to the preceding.
Note: Before replacing the faulty compressors, make sure to block their openings with tapes. They
should be kept intact for further analysis.

Step 5: Check system parts.


If system oil is contaminated, check unit parts, including oil separator, gas/liquid separator, and storage
tank.
1. Check oil separator.
Remove the oil separator. For the removal procedure, refer to step 4. Tilt the separator to draw oil out
into a container. Block the container for further factory inspection.

out from the gas separator,
make sure to keep the
outlet downward.

This angle should


not exceed 20°.

Use a glass container to hold the liquid. Check liquid impurities and colours and block the container for
further factory inspection.
※ Note: If the compressor needs replacement, the gas/liquid separator needs replacement as
well, regardless whether the separator contains impurities or has faults or not.

※ Note: Volumes of oils drawn out from the oil separator, gas separator, and oil balancer should
be recorded. After faulty compressors and parts are replaced, you should fill new oils of
equivalent amount into the compressors and parts.

Step 6: Clear pipeline system.


Check pipelines for abnormalities. Charge nitrogen into the main pipeline and clear the pipeline system.

For other pipeline parts, clear them based on actual situation. If you do not replace the parts immediately,
make sure to block the pipes with tapes, preventing air moistures and impurities from contaminating
them.
Step 7: Preparations.
1. Prepare new parts.
In the course of moving compressors, do not lay them down or put them upside down. The tilt angle
should be less than 30°. Make sure oil will not overflow from the oil balance opening. The inlet and outlet
194
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

should be blocked. If the sealing rubber is not available, cover them with tape to prevent direct contact of
oil and air.

The rubbers
used for
blocking the
inlet and outlet
of compressors
must be intact

The cover of the


electric box
should be intact

Note: The new compressor must be consistent with the faulty one in model.

Warning
Prevention against electric shock

Turn power off before servicing. Use this compressor on a grounded system only.

AND-NOT
Prohibition

DO NOT put flammable or explosive gas into the compressor.

Check the rubbers for oil separator, gas separator, oil balancer, and drying filter. If they are lost during
transportation, cover the parts with tape to keep the compressor dry and airtight inside.

195
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

The sealing
rubbers for
various parts
must be intact

Note: Compressor lubricant must be kept completely airtight. Hitachi compressors use special
lubricant FVC68D whose moisture absorption capability is high. Requirements on air-tightness
of these compressors are higher.
2. Prepare other materials.
(1) Prepare nitrogen. Prepare enough nitrogen. They will be used during welding. Nitrogen pressure
should be 2.0 MPa at least.
(2) Prepare welding rods. In addition to ordinary welding rods, you should also prepare special welding
rods (containing 5% or more silver). Compressors‘ inlets and outlets are made of copper plated steels,
which require special welding rods and materials.
(3) Prepare gases for welding. Oxygen and acetylene of proper amount should be determined with
consideration of actual welding positions. Try to finish the welding task once. Avoid repeated welding.
(4) Prepare tools, including hexagon, diagonal pliers, combination pliers, needle nose pliers, multimeter,
pressure gauge, Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, wrenches (at least two), PVC insulation tape,
and tielines (multiple).

Step 8: Install a new gas/liquid separator.


Note: If a faulty compressor needs replacement, the gas/liquid separator needs replacement as
well. This is to avoid abnormality from happening inside the gas separator, and affecting system
safety and reliability.
Put the gas/liquid separator on a chassis and connect the inlet pipe of the gas separator with the outlet
pipe. Then, connect the pipe to a nitrogen source. The nitrogen source can be connected based on
actual situation, for example, you can add a bypass interface or directly connect the nitrogen source to
the inlet/outlet pipe. If the pipe is big, cover it with tape as well. Make sure nitrogen can smoothly flow
through the gas separator.

Step 9: Install a new oil balancer.


The original oil balancer, if is found to have no impurities or other objects, can be used further more. This
part serves as a container and it does not have complex structure. However, if it contains impurities or
other objects, replace it. This is because a dirty oil balancer cannot be thoroughly cleaned.

GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

Note: Keep wiring identical to factory installation. Control varies with compressors. Wrong
wiring or inverse connection of the compressors may cause damage to units.
Cautions on replacement of compressors:
1) Before installing new compressors, remove the sealing rubbers and weld the compressors with
corresponding pipes. During welding, charge nitrogen into the pipes. Since compressors‘ suction
and discharge pipes are made of copper plated steels, you need to prepare special welding rods
(containing 5% or more silver). Welding clearance should be controlled within 0.1~0.3mm, avoiding
blockage or loose welding. During welding, control pipe openings from being over-heated.
2) After the pipeline system is welded, use special supports and bolts to fix the compressors, ensuring
stability of the compressors during running.
3) Power lines of the compressors should be wired following the factory installation. You can refer to
the wiring diagram. Phase sequence error and inverse connection of compressors are not allowed.
In particular, if there are two inverter compressors GMV-400WM/B-X and GMV-450WM/B-X that
need replacement, pay attention to wiring. Control varies with compressors. Inverse connection of
the compressors may cause damage to units.

Step 12: System check.


1. Check welding joints for abnormalities.
2. Charge nitrogen into the system for leakage detection. If you are maintaining ODUs and the IDU
system is normal, you can charge nitrogen into the ODU system only. Note that nitrogen should be
charged from both the high pressure side and low pressure side. You are advised to charge through all
valves. Nitrogen pressure should be larger than 20 kgf. Then, charge soapsuds into the system and
check specially the weld joints for leakage.
3. Finally, charge nitrogen into the system again for pressure check. Close all valves and keep system
pressure up to 25 kgf for more than 12 hours. If the pressure remains unchanged, you can extract all air.
Otherwise, you should find the leakage points first.

※ While determining system pressure change, take temperature into consideration. For 1°C
temperature change, pressure will change by 0.01 MPa accordingly. Suppose that nitrogen pressure
reaches 2.5 MPa at 30°C, 12 hours later, temperature decreases to 25°C and pressure decreases to
2.43 MPa accordingly. The system is regarded qualified despite the pressure decrease.

Step 13: Fill lubricant.


Quantity of lubricant that is needed is subject to the total draw amount from compressors and parts. The
fill amount should be equivalent to the draw amount. If the draw amount is too little or too much, clear all
lubricant first and determine fill amount by referring to Appendix 1 (accessory list).
Fill amount is determined by two factors: the number of compressors replaced and the draw amount
from each part. For replacement of one compressor, 1.5 L lubricant should be added. The fill amount
should be equal to or a little larger than the draw amount.
Examples:
(1) For GMV-450WM/B-X units, one compressor is replaced; lubricant that is drawn from the gas
separator is 1 L and lubricant that is drawn from the oil separator is 0.7 L. Then, the total required
amount is 1.5 L + 1 L + 0.7 L = 3.2 L. You should add 3.2 L lubricant into the system.
(2) For GMV-280WM/B-X units, one compressor is replaced; gas separator and other filters are replaced
as well; pipes have been charged with nitrogen for cleaning. Since the maintenance work involves most
of the parts, there is little residual lubricant inside the system. You are advised to clear the residual
lubricant and add 3.5 L new lubricant into the system (determined by referring to the accessory list).
Specific procedure is as follows:
1) GMV5 series units use FVC68D lubricant. Make sure to confirm the trademark of the lubricant first.
Lubricant of other trademarks is not allowed.
2) Open all valves and extract air for 30 minutes or longer.
3) Connect a rubber hose to the oil checking valve at one end. Open the container that holds lubricant
and pour lubricant into a measuring glass. If the glass is too small to hold the lubricant of a required
amount, measure the lubricant portion by portion. Record volume of each portion and then put the
other end of the rubber hose into the glass.
4) Keep on extracting air and open the oil checking valve. The lubricant will be pressed into the low
pressure side of units.
5) If the lubricant is added portion by portion, close the oil checking valve first and then measure
another portion of lubricant. In the course of repeated measuring and adding, keep the extraction
action.
200

Note: Lubricant is of great importance to the normal running of compressors. You should follow
Gree’s requirement to add qualified lubricant of the specified trademark and ensure properness
of fill amount.

Step 14: Vacuum-pump.


After lubricant is added, keep on extracting air through a vacuum pump till the internal pressure reaches
the absolute pressure 0 kgf/cm2 and the pressure gauge reads -1 kgf/cm2. This is to ensure that
moistures inside the pipeline system are completely vaporized.
Vacuum pumps of the specifications below are recommended:
Max. Discharge Purpose
Type
Rate For air discharge For vacuum drying
Lubricant driven pump 100 L/min Applicable Applicable
Lubricant free pump 50 L/min Applicable Applicable
Open all valves in order that the vacuum pump extracts air through all the valves, during which, connect
the units to a pressure gauge. When the internal pressure reaches 0 kgf/cm 2 and the pressure gauge
reads -1 kgf/cm2, keep on the extraction action for 0.5~1.0 hour more. Finally, turn off the rotary switch of
the gauge and close the pump. One hour later, if the pressure remains the same, fill refrigerant. If the
pressure increases to 0.1 kgf/cm2 or higher, conduct leakage check again.

Step 15: Fill refrigerant.


Before filling refrigerant, check its manufacturer, package, and print information. Besides, check
refrigerant pressure and quality against the saturation pressure / temperature list.
1. Measure and check the pressure of the entire refrigerant product against the saturation pressure /
temperature list. Verify temperature parameter. If the difference between the actual temperature and the
parameter value is 3°C or more, the refrige rant quality is unsatisfactory.

202
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

2. If the refrigerant is proved satisfactory, fill refrigerant of the combined amount of the rated amount
(specified on the nameplate) and the calculated refrigerant loss amount.
For a multi-modular unit system, if only the refrigerant of an ODU is drawn out, add 80% refrigerant of
the rated fill amount (specified on the nameplate of the ODU) and start the system for a debugging test.
Step 16: Install electric parts.
Install the electric box and connect various parts to the electric box by referring to the marks made
beforehand and the wiring diagram on the back of the box. Wire the compressors and corresponding
electric heating belts.
Note: Wires should be checked against the wiring diagram beforehand so that they can be
connected correctly.
Step 17: Start for debugging.
Start the units and set them to run in refrigerating full-start, refrigerating single-start, heating full-start,
and heating single-start modes respectively. Duration for each running mode should be 30 minutes at
least. After the debug, analyze data and adjust the unit system, to ensure indexes of the entire system.
For details about each index, please consult after-sale persons and technicians.

III. Cautions on Compressor Drive


Replacement
1. Disconnect the power supply of the system. Set a multimeter to the AC voltage gear and measure
voltage between two of the lines (L1, L2, L3, and N). The measuring result should be 0 V
(sometimes, multimeters may be faulty and read false values). Set a mark beside the power supply
for warning.
2. Measure compressor drive DC bus voltage between two wire terminals of P, U, V, W and N. Set the
multimeter to the DC voltage gear and measure the voltage between P and N. The voltage should
be lower than 36 V. If no multimeter is available, wait for 20 minutes before performing the steps
below.

Note: The blue squares


indicate pads.

3. Disconnect all lines of the compressor drive, including: compressor line; communication line
between the master unit and the drive; communication line between the compressor drive and fan
drive; compressor drive output 18 VDC; bridge rectifier output P; bridge rectifier output N;
compressor drive output 540 VDC; reactor‘s wiring terminal; bridge rectifier input AC inlead;

Chapter 5 Remote Control


Part 1 Engineering Debugger
1. Overview
With quick increase of comprehensive constructions and large buildings, central air conditioning systems
of the buildings are not only increased in number and diversified in model but also sparsely distributed,
which makes centralized management and maintenance difficult to realize. Gree Debugger, integrated
with electronic communication technology and PC software technology, helps monitor, control, and
debug central air conditioning units all round, making sparse distribution not an issue and realizing
centralized control and management. Managers, needless to go to the site to set and manage all units,
can perform running state query, unit start/stop, temperature adjustment, and other operations using a
PC, improving working efficiency and reducing manpower, material, and management input.
At present, Gree Debugger can be used to comprehensively monitor and control Gree multi units. So
long as users have a PC, they can monitor and control air conditioning units through the software. Gree
Debugger is an effective intelligent management tool for air conditioning systems and also a tool for
engineering setup and after-sale debugging. With Gree Debugger, users can debug air conditioners on
site, understand units' running state, and conveniently analyze units' health conditions, not only
improving users' working efficiency and reducing maintenance difficulty and cost but also improving
customers' service quality and speed.
2. System Networking

Gree Debugger is applicable to both single-system network and multi-system network. In a


single-system network, the software can control both IDUs and ODUs. In a multi-system network,
however, the software can control the master ODU only.
2.1 Composition of System Network
From the network topology, it can be seen that Gree debugging network is composed of three parts:
Control PC part in the monitor room, including Gree Debugger and USB Converter Driver installed in the
PCs.
USB data conversion part, mainly converts air conditioning units' communication mode into PC
recognizable mode. Devices include USB data converters and USB data lines.
Air conditioning unit part, mainly composed of air conditioning units, including ODUs, IDUs, and lines. If
the lines are not long enough, the transfer board accompanied with Gree Debugger can help connect the
lines together. In a single-system network, the converter can be connected to an IDU or an ODU. In a
multi-system network, however, the converter can be connected to a master ODU only.

239
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

3.2.3 LEDs and Interfaces


Power LED: a red LED. When it is on, it indicates that the converter is normally supplied with power;
when it is off, it indicates that the converter's power supply is abnormal.
Communication LEDs: two yellow LEDs. When a PC is delivering data, the data transmitting LED will
flash; when an air conditioning unit is uploading data to the PC, the data receiving LED will flash.
Function LEDs: three green LEDs:
If the RS485 to USB LED is steady on, it indicates that the converter is working in RS485 mode.
If the CAN to USB LED is steady on, it indicates that the converter is working in CAN mode.
If the HBS to USB LED is steady on, it indicates that the converter is working in HBS mode.
USB interface: connects to a USB data line.
CAN interface: When air conditioners work in CAN mode, they are connected to the converter over this
CAN interface. This interface is not distinguished by polarity. Thus, the two contacts C1 and C2 can be
used interchangeably.
HBS interface: When air conditioners work in HBS mode, they are connected to the converter over this
HBS interface. This interface is not distinguished by polarity. At present, Gree Debugger and monitor
software do not support this interface.
240
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

RS485 interface: When air conditioners work in RS485 mode, they are connected to the converter over
this RS485 interface. This interface is distinguished by polarity. Thus, the two contacts A and B cannot
be used interchangeably.
3.2.4 Precautions
The converter should be installed indoors and prevented from being hit. It is recommended that the
converter is installed in the monitor room with PCs.
The converter does not need to be connected to a power supply. It is powered by the PC via the USB
interface.
3.3 COM Interface Board
This board mainly transfers data. Providing a transfer function, the board serves to connect units with
control PCs when they are too distant to communicate.
3.4 Lines
3.4.1 USB Data Line
A USB data line is connecting to a USB interface of a PC at one end and to another USB interface of a
converter at the other end. See the following figure:

3.4.2 Connecting Line


Gree Debugger is accompanied with two lines: 1 m and 5.5 m. They are completely the same except the
length. The line is connecting to the COM interface of an air conditioning unit at one end and to the CAN
interface of a converter at the other end, as shown in the following figure. The air conditioning unit can be
either an IDU or an ODU.

The power input should be 100VAC-240VAC, 50/60Hz.

Do not touch the input port of the power supply when the gateway is energized.
Modbus gateway is recommended to install near air conditioning units so as to shorten their
communication distance. The maximum allowable communication distance of them is 500 m. For
the communication distance between Modbus gateway and Gree CAC Remote Monitoring
System/BMS system, we can use optoelectronic isolated repeaters for expansion.
The power lines and communication lines of Modbus gateways should be laid separately; otherwise,
Modbus gateways may become faulty. In the preceding figure, the thin dotted line indicates
communication lines and the thick dotted line indicates strong current lines; they are for reference
only.
Control cabinets should be designed to satisfy Modbus gateways both in number and layout as well
276
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

as location.
Each Modbus gateway should be supplied with power independently. Therefore, you should install
as many 220V AC power sockets as possible in the control cabinet. It is not allowed to connect
multiple Modbus gateways to a same power socket.
Make sure to keep at least 15 cm between communication lines and strong current lines. It is
forbidden to bind them together. If their distance is less than 15 cm, put them into shield tubes
respectively to prevent electromagnetic disturbance.
The control cabinet must be installed indoors. Avoid knock or exposure to sunshine or rain. It should
be locked as well to avoid body contact.

(4) Function DIP Switch-RS485 Bus Matched Resistance Setting


The seventh position of this function DIP switch is used to set the matched resistance for the RS485 bus
(herein, it is the Modbus bus)

281
GMV5 DC INVERTER VRF UNITS SERVICE MANUAL

The RS485 bus should be terminated with a matched resistance to avoid signal reflex along the
transmission line.
In application of the Modbus gateway, an upper unit as the terminal unit is usually coupled with a RS485
matched resistance, so this gateway is factory defaulted to be without a matched resistance.
When the Modbus gateway is required to be set with a matched resistance, the seventh position of this
DIP switch should be set as shown in the figure above to ―0‖ and the gateway should be located at the
end of the RS485 bus.

(5) Function DIP Switch-First IDU No. Setting


As shown in the topological air conditioning network, each IDU has an identification number.
The sixth position of the function DIP switch is intended to set the first IDU number which is used to
define the range of the IDUs under the control of the gateway.
The number of IDUs ranges from 1 to 255.
When the first IDU number is set to ―1‖, it indicates the range of the IDUs under the control of the
gateway is 1 through 128.
When the first IDU number is set to ―129‖, it indicates the range of the IDUs under the control of the
gateway is 129 through 255.
When the IDU number is beyond the range defined by the gateway, it should be modified.
The following figure shows how to set the No. of the first IDU underthe control of the gateway:

Notes: the total length of L2 cannot exceed 500m and a matched resistance shall be added at
both ends.
4.4.2 How to Configure the Gateway
Note: Before configuring BACnet, download JRE or JDK from the Oracle website first, which will
assist you in configuring BACnet via a browser.
One BACnet gateway can connect up to 8 ODUs and 48 IDUs (that is, when the IDUs are more than 48
or the ODUs are more than 8, another gateway will be required). Specific relation exists between the air
conditioning units and the gateway and there is always a minimal IDU number and a minimal ODU
number for a gateway. Suppose the minimal IDU number is M, then all IDUs will be numbered among M
to M+47. Suppose the minimal IDU number is N, then all IDUs will be numbered among N to N+7. During
field installation, when only IDUs or ODUs are present for a gateway, then it will fail to process the data
from them.
The gateway shall be configured after its installation, however, before this please set the IP address of
the PC the same with that of the BACnet gateway. See Appendix A for more details.
(1) Open the IE browser and input the default IP address http://192.168.1.150 into the address field.
(2) The default username and password are both ―Config‖.

After input, press the ―ENTER‖ button to go to the setting page as shown below. The configurable objects
include the minimum IDU number, the minimum ODU number, CAN IP, BACnet IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway address. Then, click the ―Confirm‖ button.
