SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ead the fol low SAFETY PRECAUTIONS carefu lly before installation. lectric al work must be installed by a licensed elect rician. Be sure to use the correct rating

f the power p lug and main circuit for the model to be instal led.

ncorrec t installation due to ignoring of the instr uction will cause harm or damage.

The serio usness is classif ied by the followin g indications.

WARNING

CAUTION

This symbol indicates the possibility of death or serious injury.

This symbol indicates the possibility of injury or damage to property.

The items to be followed are classified by the symbols:

Symbol with background white denotes item that is PROHIBITED from doing.

WARNING

1) Engage dealer or specialist for installation. If installation done by the user is defective, it will cause water leakage, electrical shock fire.

2) Install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water leakage, electrical shock fire.

3) Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for installation. otherwise, it will cause the set to fall, water leakage, electrical shock fire.

4) Install at a strong and firm location which is able to withstand the set s weight. If the strength is not enough or installation is not properly done, the set will drop and cause injury.

5) For electrical work, follow the local national wiring standard, regulation and this installation instructions. An independent circuit and single outlet must be used. If electrical circuit capacity is not enough or defect found in electrical work, it will cause electrical shock fire.

6) Use the specified cable and connect tightly and clamp the cable so that no external force will be acted on the terminal. If connection or fixing is not perfect, it will cause heat-up or fire at the connection.

7) Wiring routing must be properly arranged so that control board cover is fixed properly. If control board cover is not fixed perfectly, it will cause heat-up at connection point of terminal, fire or electrical shock.

8) When carrying out piping connection, take care not to let air substances other than the specified refrigerant go into refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, it will cause lower capacity, abnormal high pressure in the refrigeration cycle, explosion and injury.

9) Do not modify the length of the power supply cord or use of extension cord, and do not share the single outlet with other electrical appliances. Otherwise, it will cause fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION

1) This equipment must be earthed and installed with earth leakage current breaker. It may cause electrical shock if grounding is not perfect.

2) Do not install the unit at place where leakage of flammable gas may occur. In case gas leaks and accumulates at surrounding of the unit, it may cause fire.

3) Carry out drainage piping as mentioned in installation instructions. If drainage is not perfect, water may enter the room and damage the furniture.

 The power wiring should always follow NEC and local codes, with respect to the unit’s, rating plate. See

installation manual for additional information. Main power connection is 208/230V/1PH~60HZ.

 The communicating cable, which connects between the indoor and outdoor units must meet all NEC and

local codes, with respect to the unit’s rating plate. We recommend using 14 AWG/4 conductor Stranded THHN

NOTES:

• Do not exceed 50 ft. (15m) per each indoor unit.

• Minimum pipe lenght of 10ft (3m) is required for each indoor unit.

• Oil trap should be installed per (3-5 meters) 10-15 ft., where outdoor unit is located above indoor unit.

• Outdoor connections are 1/4” (f6.35 mm) liquid and 3/8” (f9.52 mm) gas, therefore a are nut adapter is provided with all 12/18k indoor sections.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Selecting Inst allatio n Place

More than 6 in.(15cm)

Read completely, then follow step by step.

Indoor unit

More than 5 in.(12cm)

Do not expo se the indoor unit to heat or steam . Select a pl ace where there are no obstacles in front or a round the unit. Make sure t hat condensation drainage can be conven iently routed away. Do not inst all near a doorway.

More than 6.5 ft.(2.0m)

Fig. 1

Ensure th at the proper clearance is maintained per F ig.1. Use a stud fi nder to locate studs to prevent u nnecessary damage to the wall. Variati ons in pipe length may require adjustment t o refrigerant charge. There sho uld not be any direct sunlight. Otherwise , the sun will fade the plastic cab inet and

affect its ap pearance . If unavoidable, sunlight pr eventi

on should b e taken into consideration.

Outdoor unit

More than 1 ft.(30cm)

If an awnin g is built over the outdoor unit to prevent d irect sunlight or rain exposure,

More than 1 ft.(30cm)

make sure t hat heat radiation from the condens er is not restricted.

Ensure th at the clearance is maintained per Fig 2.

More than 2 ft.(60cm)

Do not plac e animals and plants in the path of the air in let or outlet. Take the air co nditioner weight into account and selec t a place where noise and vibration will not be a n issue.

More than 6.5 ft.(200cm)
