WARNING, and CAUTION. These words are used with the
safety−alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious
hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal
injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe
practices which may result in minor personal injury or
product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight
suggestions which will result in enhanced installation,
reliability, or operation.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.

WARNING
Installing, starting up, and servicing air−conditioning
equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures,
electrical components, and equipment location (roofs,
elevated structures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics
should install, start−up, and service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance
functions such as cleaning coils. All other operations should
be performed by trained service personnel.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the
literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment.
!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant
pipe in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there
must be a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve
connections on the outdoor units. If more than the
recommended length is buried, refrigerant may migrate
to the cooler buried section during extended periods of
system shutdown. This causes refrigerant slugging and
could possibly damage the compressor at start−up.

Refrigerant Line Routing
The refrigerant lines may be routed in any of the four directions
shown in Figure 4.
For maximum serviceability, it is recommended to have
refrigerant line flare connections and the drain connection on the
outside of the wall that the fan coil is mounted on.

If piping is going through the right or left side:
Use a small saw blade to carefully remove the corresponding
plastic covering on side panel and drill the appropriate size hole
where the pipe is going through the wall. See table above.

application.
General Guidelines
The units are shipped with full charge of R−410A refrigerant. All
charges, line sizing, and capacitiies are based on runs of 25ft.
(7.6m). For runs over 25ft. (7.6m) consult long line section for
charge adjustments.
Refrigerant lines should not be buried in the ground. If it is necessary to bury the lines, not more than 36 inches (914mm)
should be buried. Provide a minimum of 6 inch (152mm) vertical
rise to service valves to prevent refrigerant migration.
Both lines must be insulated. Use a minimum of ½ inch
(12.7mm) thick insulation. Closed−cell insulation is recommen-
1/2 in. (13 mm)

ded in al long−line applications.
Special consideration should be given to isolating interconnect-
ing tubing from the building structure. Isolate the tubing so that
vibration or noise is not transmitted into the structure.
* Charge is for piping that runs up to 25 ft. (7.6 m)
** For piping runs greater than 25 ft. (7.6 m), add this amount of charge per foot of extra piping, up to the allowable length, specified in the above table.

Deep Vacuum Method
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump.
Refrigerant tubes and indoor coil should be evacuated using the
recommended deep vacuum method of 500 microns. The
alternate triple evacuation method may be used if the procedure
outlined below is followed. Always break a vacuum with dry
nitrogen.
charge hose to a charge port of the low side service valve.
(See Fig. 13.)
Connect charge hose to vacuum pump.
Fully open the low side of manifold gage. (See Fig. 14)
Start vacuum pump
Evacuate using either deep vacuum or triple evacuation method.
After evacuation is complete, fully close the low side of manifold
gage and stop operation of vacuum pump.
The factory charge contained in the outdoor unit is good for up to
25 ft. (8 m) of line length. For refrigerant lines longer than 25 ft
(8 m), add 0.1 oz. per foot of extra piping up to the maximum
allowable length.
Disconnect charge hose from charge connection of the low side
service valve.
Fully open service valves B and A.
Securely tighten caps of service valves.

The deep vacuum method requires a vacuum pump capable of
pulling a vacuum of 500 microns and a vacuum gage capable of
accurately measuring this vacuum depth. The deep vacuum
method is the most positive way of assuring a system is free of
air and liquid water. (See Fig. 15)

Triple Evacuation Method
The triple evacuation method should only be used when vacuum
pump is only capable of pumping down to 28 in. of mercury
vacuum and system does not contain any liquid water.
Refer to Fig. 16 and proceed as follows:
Pump system down to 28 in. of mercury and allow pump to continue operating for an additional 15 minutes.
Close service valves and shut off vacuum pump.
Connect a nitrogen cylinder and regulator to system and open
until system pressure is 2 psig.
Close service valve and allow system to stand for 1 hr. During
this time, dry nitrogen will be able to diffuse throughout the system absorbing moisture.
Repeat this procedure as indicated in Fig. 16. System will then
be free of any contaminants and water vapor.

Once energized, in no case should the compressor be restarted
within less than 3 minutes. In the situation that memory function
is available, for the first energization, if the compressor is at stop
before de−energization, the compressor will be started without a
3−minute lag; if the compressor is in operation before
de−energization, the compressor will be started with a 3−minute
lag; and once started, the compressor will not be stopped within
6 minutes regardless of changes in room temperature;

command has not set a timed function, the system will
remember the last remote control command and operate
accordingly. If the last remote control command has set a timed
function and the power supply is interrupted before the time
expires, the system will remember the timed function of the last
remote control command, the timed time will be recounted from
power on. If the last remote control command has set a timed
function, the time is up and the system is started or stopped
according to the set time when the power supply is interrupted,
the system will remember the operation status before the power
supply was interrupted, and not carry out the timed action; The
time clock will not be remembered.
Detection of Temperature Sensor Malfunction
(1) Indoor Temperature Sensor
Malfunctions of the temperature sensor can be detected at any
time.
(2) Indoor Pipe Temperature Sensor
During defrost, a temperature sensor malfunction will not be
detected. Five minutes after finishing defrost, the system will
again begin to detect temperature sensor malfunctions. At all
other times, a temperature sensor malfunction will be detected.
1. When a short−circuit occurs to the temperature sensor for 30
seconds: The temperature sensor overheats. In this case to
protect the system, the entire unit will stop. At the same time, the
temperature protection and temperature sensor malfunction will
be shown.
2. When an open circuit of the temperature sensor occurs for
30s: The unit will stop and the temperature sensor malfunction
will be displayed
Frequency Control
When starting the compressor, or when conditions have varied
due to the changes in the room, the frequency must be initialized
according to the DD value of the indoor unit and the Q value of
the indoor unit. Q value: Indoor unit output determined from
indoor unit volume, air flow rate and other factors.
Compressor Protection Function
When turning the compressor from OFF to ON, the system will
ramp the frequency up from a lower starting limit to protect the
compressor.
Input Current Control
Detects an input current with the current transformer as the
compressor is running, and sets the upper frequency limit from
the input current.
In the case of a heat pump, this control is the upper limit control
function of the frequency, which takes priority over the lower limit
of four way valves activation compensation.
Freeze−up Protection Control
During cooling operation, the signals being sent from the indoor
unit allow operating frequency limitation and then prevent
freezing of the indoor heat exchanger.
Heating Peak−cut Control: Heat−Pump Only
During heating operation, the signals being sent from the indoor
unit allow operating frequency limitation and prevent abnormally
high pressure.
Defrost Control: Heat Pump Only
Defrosting is carried out by the cooling cycle (reverse cycle). The
defrost time must be complete or the outdoor heat exchanger
temperature must be more than its preset value when finishing.
Conditions for Starting Defrost
The starting conditions must be determined by the outdoor air
temperature and heat exchanger temperature. When the system
is in heating operation, 6 minutes after the compressor is started,
and more than 44 minutes of accumulated time has passed
since the start of the operation or end of defrost.
Conditions for Canceling Defrost
The heat exchanger temperature must be between (39°F−72°F)
Fan Control
Fan control is carried out according to the following priority.
1. Fan ON control for electric component cooling fan
2. Fan control when defrosting
3. Fan OFF delay when stopped
4. ON/OFF control in cooling operation
5. Speed control when frequency adjustment function is working
6. Fan control in forced operation
7. Fan control in indoor/outdoor unit silent operation
8. Fan control in powerful mode
9. Fan control in normal operation
Fan OFF Control when Stopped
* Fan OFF delay for 60 seconds must be made when the
compressor is stopped.
Speed Control in indoor/outdoor unit silent operation
1. When in Cooling Operation
When the outdoor air temperature is lower than 99°F, the speed
tap must be set to Low.
2. When in Heating Operation
When the outdoor air temperature is higher than 39°F, the speed
tap must be set to Low (only for heat pump model).
Figure 18 - Compressor Frequency (When the compressor
is turned off, it cannot be turned back on for 3 minutes ((ex-
cept after defrost)).
Discharge Pipe Control
The discharge pipe temperature is used as the compressor’s
internal temperature. If the discharge pipe temperature rises
above a certain level, the operating frequency upper limit is set
to keep this temperature from going up further.

Analysis or processing of some of the malfunction display:
1 Compressor discharge protection
Possible causes: shortage of refrigerant; blockage of air filter; poor
ventilation or air flow short circuit of condenser; the system has
non−condensing gas (such as air, water etc.); blockage of capillary
assy (including filter); malfunction of metering device; leakage inside four−way valve causes incorrect operation; malfunction of
compressor; malfunction of protection relay; malfunction of discharge sensor; outdoor temperature too high.
Processing method: refer to the malfunction analysis in the above
section.
2 Low voltage over−current protection
Possible cause: Sudden drop of supply voltage.
3 Communication malfunction
Processing method: Check if communicating signal cable is connected reliably.
4 Sensor open or short circuit
Processing method: check whether sensor is normal, connected
with the corresponding position on the controller and if damage of
lead wire is found.
5 Compressor over load protection
Possible causes: insufficient or too much refrigerant; blockage of
capillary or metering device and increase of suction temp.; improper running of compressor, stuck bearing, damage of discharge
valve; malfunction of protector.
Processing method: adjust refrigerant amount; replace the capillary or metering device; replace the compressor; use universal
meter to check if the contactor of compressor is fine when it is not
overheated, if not replace the protector.
6 System malfunction
i.e. overload protection. When tube temperature (check the temperature of outdoor heat exchanger when cooling and check the
temperature of indoor heat exchanger when heating) is too high,
protection will be activated.
Possible causes: Outdoor temperature is too high when cooling; insufficient outdoor air circulation; refrigerant flow malfunction.
Please refer to the malfunction analysis in the previous section for
handling method.
7 IPM Module protection
Precessing method: Once the module malfunction happens, if it
persists for a long time and cannot be self cancelled, cut off the
power and turn off the unit, and then re−energize the unit again after
about 10 min. After repeating the procedure for several times, if the
malfunction still exists, replace the module.
