C. INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT

C.1 Pre-Installation Checkpoints

Before attempting any installation, carefully consider the following points:

• Clearances and provision for servicing. Install this unit in accordance with local and national standards. Any and all work must be done by authorized personnel.

• IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air conditioner, check your local electrical codes and the information below. Your air conditioner must be connected to a power source with the same alternating current (A.C.) voltage and amperage as marked on the name plate located on the chassis. Only A.C. can be used. Direct Current (D.C.) cannot be used.

• CIRCUIT PROTECTION – Use on single outlet circuit only. An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner; therefore, it is necessary that the electrical protection is adequate. Due to momentary high current demand when the air conditioner starts, use a “TIME DELAY” fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or power company if in doubt.

• Refer to the electrical name plate located on the air conditioner chassis (see Table E.1 to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for your model.

• The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong and a

matching receptacle is required.

J.4 Remote Control Operation

Remote Control - Refer to Figure J.4.1 during operation description.

Getting Started - Install two (2) AAA batteries in the battery

compartment located on the back of the unit.

Operation - The remote control should be within 25 feet of the air conditioner for operation. Press the power button to turn the remote on. The remote will automatically power off after 15 seconds if the buttons are not being pressed. The remote must be on to control the unit.

POWER Button - Turns remote and unit on and off.

SYSTEM Button - Allows the user to sequentially select the following:

AUTO, COOL, HEAT, and FAN ONLY operations. When the button is pressed, the display indicates which mode has been selected via a display message. Note that when the heating function is not available, the system will automatically skip the HEAT mode.

FAN MODE Button - Selects between automatic (AUTO FAN) or CONTINUOUS operation. In the AUTO FAN mode, the fan only turns on and off when the compressor operates or the heat function is enabled.

NOTE: AUTO FAN is not available in the FAN ONLY Mode, the display

indicates CONTINUOUS. In the CONTINUOUS mode, fan speed is determined by your selection on the FAN SPEED button.

FAN SPEED Button - Used to sequentially select new fan speed, plus AUTO operation. When the FAN SPEED button is pressed, the fan speed icon (triangle)

changes to indicate the new speed level. Fan speed automatically varies depending on the set temperature on the control panel and the actual room temperature. For example, if there is a big difference between your set temperature and the actual room temperature, the system fan speed increases to HIGH. It remains at this speed until the room temperature matches the set temperature.

UP and DOWN Arrows - Pressing either the UP or DOWN button changes the desired room temperature. The factory preset lower and upper limits are 60 °F (16 °C) and 99 °F (37 °C). These buttons are also used to navigate between function options when using the User Menu or Maintenance Mode.

Remote Effectiveness

Handheld Remote - Has an operating range of up to 25 ft. The infrared remote control signal must have a clear path to transmit the command to the air conditioning unit. The remote signal has some ability to “bounce” off of walls and furniture similar to a television remote control. The diagram below shows the typical operating range of the control in a standard room with 8 ft high ceilings.

J.5 Start-up

This is a warm weather appliance

Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above 60 °F (15.6 °C) and below 115 °F (46.1 °C), so it won’t cool a room if it is already cool outside. If you want to cool a room in the spring or fall, select the FAN ONLY mode and set the Fresh Air/ Exhaust air control to Fresh Air. This will bring in a supply of cooler outside air.

Condensation is normal

Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the outside. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner will use most of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.

Frosting

This usually occurs because of insufﬁcient airﬂow across the coils, a dirty ﬁlter, cool damp weather, or all these. Set the SYSTEM mode to FAN ONLY and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.

Noises

All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich units are designed to operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that the chassis seal gasket (Item 13) is properly installed (refer to the Installation Instructions).

NOTICE

This unit is certiﬁed to operate in cooling mode under these maximum conditions. Any operation beyond these conditions may result in intermittent operation. Indoor temperature: 90 °F (45% relative humidity) Outdoor temperature: 110 °F (25% relative humidity) If unit is heat pump equipped, it is certiﬁed to operate in heating mode under these maximum conditions. Any operation beyond these conditions may result in intermittent operation. Indoor temperature: 80 °F (humidity does not affect operation) Outdoor temperature: 70 °F (60% relative humidity)

not of the proper rating.

• The LCDI power cord can trip (Reset

button pops out) due to disturbances on your power supply line.

• Electrical overload, overheating, or cord

pinching can trip (Reset button pops out) the LCDI power cord.

NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manu-

facturer and must not be repaired. The power cord must be replaced by trained service personnel.

• The return/ discharge air grille is blocked.

• Windows or doors to the outside are open. • Ensure that all windows and doors are closed.

• The temperature is not set at a cool

enough/ warm enough setting.

• The lter is dirty or obstructed. • Clean the lter, (see Routine Maintenance), or remove obstruction.

• The indoor coil or outdoor coil is dirty or

obstructed.

• There is excessive heat or moisture

(cooking, showers, etc.) in the room.

• The temperature of the room you are

trying to cool is extremely hot.

• Turn the unit to the on position and raise or lower temperature

setting (as appropriate) to call for operation.

• Plug into a properly grounded 3 prong receptacle. See “Electrical

Rating Tables” on Page 6 for the proper receptacle type for your unit.

• Press and release RESET (Listen for click. Reset button latches

and remains in.) to resume operation.

• Reset the circuit breaker, or replace the fuse as applicable. If

the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.

• The unit will resume normal operation once power has been

restored.

• The unit requires a dedicated outlet circuit, not shared with other

appliances.

• Do NOT use an extension cord with this or any other air condition-

er.

• Replace with a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse of the proper rat-

ing. See “Electrical Rating Tables” on Page 6 for the proper circuit breaker/ fuse rating for your unit. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.

• Press and release RESET (Listen for click. Reset button latches

room.

M.1. Troubleshooting Tips (Cont)

COMPLAINT CAUSE SOLUTION

• The outside temperature is below 60 °F

(16 °C).

• The digital control is set to fan cycling mode.

Unit Does Not Cool/ Heat Room

Sufciently, or Cycles On And Off

Too Frequently (continued).

Unit Runs Too Much.

• The air conditioner has insufcient cooling

capacity to match the heat gain of the room.

• The air conditioner has insufcient heating

capacity to match the heat loss of the room.

• This may be due to an excessive heat load

in the room.

• It may also be due to an improperly sized unit.

• This may be normal for higher efciency

(EER) air conditioners.

• You may notice that the discharge air

temperature of your new air conditioner may not seem as cold as you may be accustomed to from older units. This does not; however, indicate a reduction in the cooling capacity of the unit.

M. TROUBLESHOOTING

• Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode

when the outside temperature is below 60 °F (16 °C). The unit will not cool properly, and the unit may be damaged.

• Since the fan does not circulate the room air continuously at this

setting, the room air does not mix as well and hot (or cold) spots may result. Using the continuous fan setting is recommended to obtain optimum comfort levels.

• Check the cooling capacity of your unit to ensure it is properly

sized for the room in which it is installed. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.

• Check the heating capacity of your unit. Air conditioners are sized to

meet the cooling load, and heater size is then selected to meet the heating load. In extreme northern climates, room air conditioners may not be able to be used as a primary source of heat.

• If there are heat producing appliances in use in the room, or if the

room is heavily occupied, the unit will need to run longer to remove the additional heat.

• Be sure to use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and,

if possible, try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

• The use of higher efciency components in your new air

conditioner may result in the unit running longer than you feel it should. This may be more apparent, if it replaced an older,

less efcient, model. The actual energy usage, however, will be signicantly less when compared to older models.

• The energy efciency ratio (EER) and cooling capacity rating

(Btu/ h) listed on the unit’s rating plate are both agency certied.
