Part Number 059 044

To ensure optimum performance and customer satisfaction, please read these instructions
carefully.

All Defy Console type air-conditioners are tested and rated using the standard Defy wall
sleeve and louvre assembly. Units can safely operate up to 43

°C outdoor temperature. They

have been designed to produce the rated capacity at the lowest power consumption under
International Standard Rating conditions.(ISO5151) at 27°C DB, 19°C WB indoor and 35°
C DB, 24°C WB outdoor, at sea level and with a 230V 50Hz power supply.

To achieve this performance, the following should be noted:

• Smooth curved louvers are used to maximise the condenser airflow requirements.

• Air deflectors which guide the air leaving the unit away from the return air openings are fitted

onto the condenser coil to minimise hot air re-circulation.

• Open cell foam strips are fitted to the condenser end plates and fit tight up against the louvre.

These strips effectively prevent unwanted air from entering or leaving the compartments.

• To prevent rain water from entering via the wall sleeve, the bottom panel of the sleeve slants

outwards . Weep holes at the lower edge allow rainwater to drain away freely.

Architectural and aesthetic requirements often necessitate the use of non standard louver assem­blies. As these could influence the performance of the units, we undertake to test, free of charge,
any proposed designs in our calorimeter facility

When specifying non standard louver s, please bear the following in mind:
Defy Appliances Limited, manufactures special wall sleeves without louvers. This sleeve is shorter
than standard and thus minimises the gap between the condensing unit and the outside grille
Should the factory fitted foam strips not locate against the louver, insulated divider plates must be
fitted to prevent hot air re-circulation. It is also recommended to remove the side deflectors from
the condenser coil and reposition them directly behind the louvre.

Units installed with flush mounted louvers, need an insulated wall spacer collar to fill the gap be­tween the indoor unit and the outside wall. In this instance part of the con densing section will pro­trude into the room. It is im portant therefore to insulate the condens ing section and to ensure that
there are no gaps where heat and noise from the compressor and condenser could enter the room.

Installation notes.

Silhouette Console Installation instructions

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

• Remove the filter assembly.

• Loosen the two screws at the bottom corners of the access cover and remove it.

• Loosen the two screws at either end of the fan deck.

• Disconnect the multi-plug and slide the fan deck out.

• Protect the deck against dust generated during the installation process.

• Secure the unit to the wall using at least four of the fixing holes provided. ( See sketch above )

• Ensure that the unit is properly and accurately fitted to the wall sleeve assembly.

• Should the factory fitted condenser coil foam seals not butt up to the louver assembly, insulated divider

plates must be fitted to prevent hot air re-circulation back into the condenser section.

• It is also advisable to remove the side deflectors from the condenser coil and fit them directly behind the

louvre.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

• A 16A mains cable is connected to the indoor

unit.

• If this cable is too short, a qualified electrician

should replace it.

• An interconnecting cable complying with local

wiring codes, should be connected between the
indoor and outdoor units.

1. Connect the brown wire to terminal 1

2. Connect the blue wire to terminal 2

3. Connect the earth wire to the terminal marked

INSTALLATION OF THE INDOOR UNIT.

• Select the most suitable position for uniform air

distribution, and one that requires the shortest in­terconnecting tubing and condensate drain pipe.
When the required interconnecting piping is longer
than 9m. an additional 20g/m of refrigerant should
be added. The maximum recommended pipe length
is 16 m. For longer lengths please refer to the pipe
sizing manuals.

• The unit must be installed at least 100mm above

floor level. Ensure that the return air outlet under­neath the unit is not obstructed.

• The unit is supplied with 2 loose and two fixed

brackets for wall mounting. The brackets at the
rear may be removed and there are mounting holes
behind the fan assembly or optional mounting feet
are available for free standing installations, if wall
mounting is not a suitable option.

• Two openings are provided for the refrigerant piping and condensate drain tube. Both openings are on

the right hand side of the unit and cater for rear or bottom entry.

• The copper tube connections are situated behind the fan deck assembly. To remove the assembly please

proceed as follows:­(a) Disconnect the unit from the electrical power supply.
(b) Remove the filter and the front access panel by removing the two screws at the bottom of the panel.
(c) Pull the 4 pin connector plug apart without unscrewing the electrical connections. Remove the four

screws securing the fan assembly and pull the assembly out carefully.

(d) The liquid and suction lines will now be visible. The copper tubes should be fitted with flare nuts

and stoppers.

(e) Measure and prepare the interconnecting piping prior to removing the stoppers. Ensure that the in-

terconnecting pipes are fully insulated. After connecting, insulate the fittings with non drip tape to
prevent sweating. NOTE: The unit has been pumped down after testing and only a small hold-

ing charge of R22 refrigerant will be in the indoor unit. Please take precautions when remov­ing the stoppers.

(f)

Connect a 19mm (internal diameter) drain pipe to the drain connection. Insulate the drain pipe
where sweating could cause damage. Ensure the drain pipe is slanted to allow easy flow. Do not use
traps for the condensate drain.

(g)

For service and warranty purposes a duplicate serial sticker is located on the control panel door.

NOTE.

• An electrical isolator must be installed close to

the condensing unit.

• Ensure that the supply voltage is 230V 50 Hz.

• The unit must be earthed.

• Field wiring and connections must comply with

local codes.

• Only connect one unit to a circuit and use only

the recommended circuit breaker size.

• The evaporator and condenser must be con-

nected through the same circuit breaker.

• Please consult a qualified electrician.

• Ensure that the voltage is 230V 50Hz. Also check that the model and capacity matches those of the in-

door unit.

• Select a position for the outdoor unit which allows for the shortest possible unobstructed pipe length.

Ensure that the air intake and discharge are unobstructed and that there is enough room for servicing.

• Provide a concrete base or sturdy mounting plate and bolt the unit down using anti-vibration pads to

reduce vibration and noise.

• Due to the use of resilient, rubber compressor mountings, it is no longer necessary to remove the outer

cover and loosen the compressor mounting nuts.

• Two service valves are provided for ease of installation and servicing. They have gauge ports and

Schrader valves.

• Connect, evacuate and charge the unit in the following manner:-

(a) Connect the piping between the indoor and outdoor units. Use a drop of ref rigerant oil when form-

ing the flares and ensure that they are without burrs and are of the correct shape and size.

(b) Connect the suction and discharge gauges to the gauge ports and evacuate the piping and the indoor

unit using a good vacuum pump.

(c) When a low vacuum has been achieved, close the valves and the gauge manifolds and fully open

the liquid and suction service valves with an allan key.

(d) Test for leaks before operating the unit.

NOTE:- The condensing unit has a full gas charge of R22 refrigerant which should be suffi­cient for a back-to-back installation with 1/4” and 1/2” copper tubing. When the required in­terconnecting piping is more than 9m, an additional 20g/m of refrigerant must be added.

(e) The additional refrigerant can be added either immediately after evacuation of the system or in va-

pour form when the unit is running.

(f) Start up of the unit: Set the thermostat to the coldest position with the fan on maximum and push

the Heating / Cooling button. A 2.5 to 3.0 minute time delay will be experienced before the com­pressor starts.

(g) Run the unit and observe the pressures and temperatures.

SERVICE TIP

• The condensing temperature should be approximately 16°C to 18°C higher than the outdoor ambient

temperature. The above should not be used as a charging method and is only a guide for new air-cooled
split systems and air-cooled units with clean condensers and an unrestricted airflow.

• Operate the unit using all functions i.e.; fan only, heating, cooling and at various fan speeds. Ensure

that the unit operates efficiently and quietly. Disconnect the gauges and check that all the screws that
were removed have been replaced.

• Advise the customer how to operate the unit and explain the various features.
