6.4 Initial Installation
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have
undesirable effects as below:
Pressure in the system rises.
Operating current rises.
Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may
freeze and block capillary tubing.
Water may lead to corrosion of parts
in the refrigerant system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and the pipes
between indoor and outdoor units must be
leak tested and evacuated to remove gas and
moisture from the system.
Gas leak check (soap and water method):
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral detergent
on the indoor unit connections or outdoor unit
connections by a soft brush to check for
leakage of the connecting points of the piping.
If bubbles form, the pipes have leakage.
5) Evacuate for 30 minutes and check that
micron gauge reads <500 microns. If not, it
should be pumped 20 minutes more. If the
pressure can’t achieve <500 microns after
pumping 50 minutes, please check for
leakage points. Fully close the handle valve
of the low pressure manifold set and stop the
operation of the vacuum pump. Confirm that
the gauge needle does not move above 500
microns (approximately 5 minutes after
turning off the vacuum pump).
6) Turn the flare nut of the 3-way valves about
45° counterclockwise for 6 or 7seconds after
the gas coming out, then tighten the flare nut
again. Make sure the pressure display in the
pressure indicator is a little higher than the
atmosphere pressure. Then remove the
charge hose from the 3-way valve.
7) Fully open the 2-way valve and 3-way valve
and securely tighten the cap of the 3-way
valve.
1. Air purging with vacuum pump
1) Completely tighten the flare nuts of the
indoor and outdoor units, confirm that both
the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the
closed position.
2) Connect the low pressure charge hose to
the 3-way valve's gas service port.
3) Connect the high pressure hose to the
vacuum pump.
4) Fully open the handle of the low pressure
manifold valve.
6.5 Adding the refrigerant after running the system for many years
Procedure
1) Connect the charge hose to the 3-way
service port, open the 2-way valve and the
3-way valve. Connect the charge hose to
the valve at the bottom of the cylinder. Turn
the cylinder bottom up to ensure liquid
charge.
2) Purge the air from the charge hose. Open
the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and
press the check valve on the charge set to
purge the air (be careful of the liquid
refrigerant).
10

3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic
scale and record the weight.
4) Operate the air conditioner in the cooling
mode.
5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set
and charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
6) When the electronic scale displays the proper
weight (refer to the gauge and the pressure
of the low side), disconnect the charge hose
from the 3-way valve’s service port
immediately and turn off the air conditioner
before disconnecting the hose.
7) Mount the valve stem caps and the service
port. Use torque wrench to tighten the
service port cap to a torque of 13F.P.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
6.6 Re-installation if the indoor unit has been repaired
1. Air purging with vacuum pump
5) Operate the vacuum pump to evacuate.
6) Evacuate for 30 minutes and check
whether the compound meter indicates
500 microns. If the meter does not indicate
500 microns after pumping 30 minutes, it
should be pumped 20 minutes more. If the
pressure can’t achieve 500 microns after
pumping 50 minutes, please check for
leakage points. Fully close the low
pressure valve of the manifold and stop the
operation of the vacuum pump. Confirm
that the gauge needle does not move
(approximately 5 minutes after turning off
the vacuum pump).
7) Turn the flare nut of the 3-way valves
about 45° counterclockwise for 6 or 7
seconds after the gas coming out, then
tighten the flare nut again. Make sure the
pressure display in the pressure indicator
is a little higher than the atmosphere
pressure. Then remove the charge hose
from the 3-way valve.
8) Fully open the 2-way valve and 3-way
valve and securely tighten the cap of the
3-way valve.
1) Completely tighten the flare nuts of the
indoor and outdoor units, confirm that both
the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the
closed position.
2) Connect the low pressure charge hose to
the 3-way valve's gas service port.
3) Connect the high pressure charge hose to
the vacuum pump.
4) Fully open the low pressure handle of the
manifold.

valve’s service port.
3) Evacuate for approximately one hour.
Confirm that the compound meter
indicates <500 microns.
4) Close the valve (Low side) on the
charge set, turn off the vacuum pump,
and confirm that the gauge needle
does not move (approximately 5
minutes after turning off the vacuum
pump).
5) Disconnect the charge hose from the
vacuum pump.
2. Refrigerant charging
Procedure:
1) Connect the charge hose to the charging
cylinder, open the 2-way valve and the 3-
way valve. Connect the charge hose
which you disconnected from the vacuum
pump to the valve at the bottom of the
cylinder. Turn the cylinder bottom up to
ensure liquid charge.
2) Purge the air from the charge hose. Open
the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and
press the check valve on the charge set
to purge the air (be careful of the liquid
refrigerant).
3) Put the charging cylinder onto the
electronic scale and record the weight.
4) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge
set and charge the system with liquid
refrigerant. If the system cannot be
charged with the specified amount of
refrigerant, or can be charged with a little
at a time (approximately 5oz. each time),
while operating the air conditioner in the
cooling cycle, wait approximately one
minute and then repeat the procedure.
5) When the electronic scale displays the
proper weight, disconnect the charge
hose from the 3-way valve’s service port

In forced auto, forced cooling or any other operation mode, pressing touch button will turn
off the machine.
8.4.6.2 In forced operation mode, all general protections and remote control are available.
8.4.6.3 Operation rules: Forced cooling mode: The compressor runs at F2 frequency and indoor fan runs as breeze. After running for 30 minutes. the machine will turn to auto mode as 24°C(75.2°F) setting temperature. Forced auto mode: The action of forced auto mode is the same as normal auto mode with 24°C(75.2°F) setting temperature.
8.4.7 Auto-Restart function
The indoor unit is equipped with auto-restart function, which is carried out through an auto­restart module. In case of a sudden power failure, the module memorizes the setting conditions before the power failure. The unit will resume the previous operation setting (not including swing function) automatically after 3 minutes when power returns. If the memorization condition is forced cooling mode, the unit will run in cooling mode for 30 minutes and turn to auto mode as 24°C(75.2° F) setting temp. If AC is off before power off and AC is required to start up now, the compressor will have 1 minute delay when power on. Other conditions, the compressor will have 3 minutes delay when restarting.
8.4.5.4 The outdoor fan operates the same as in cooling mode.
8.4.6 Forced operation function
8.4.6.1 Enter forced operation function: When the machine is off, pressing the touch button will carry the machine to forced auto mode. If pressing the button once again within 5 seconds, the machine will turn into forced cooling mode.
8.4.8 Refrigerant Leakage Detection
With this new technology, the display area will
show “EC” when the outdoor unit detects
refrigerant leakage.
8.4.9 8°C Heating (optional)
When the compressor is running, the indoor
fan motor will run without anti-cold air function.
When the compressor is off, the indoor
fan motor is off.
