BS Plug Wiring
Wiring Instructions: Should it be necessary to change the plug please
note the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
GREEN AND YELLOW - EARTH
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
1. The BLUE wire is the NEUTRAL and must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
2. The BROWN wire is the LIVE and must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
3. The GREEN/YELLOW is the EARTH and must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter E or or coloured GREEN or
GREEN/YELLOW.
4. Always ensure that the cord grip is positioned and fastened correctly.
If a 13A (BS 1363) fused plug is used it must be fitted with a 13A fuse. If in
doubt consult a qualified electrician.

WORKING
PRINCIPLE
Under function of fan motor, indoor airflow changed into cooled air through
evaporator then blew out, while the indoor airflow changed into heated air though
condenser then blew out. There are 2 flues designed on structure of this unit:
heated air is discharged from rear air outlet vent on back air conditioner while
cooled air from front air outlet vent of the unit. After guide louver, gentle and steady
cooled airflow is produced to reach needed cooling effect.
Working principle
3
When only used as dehumidifier, remember
to take off heat discharge pipe from unit and
install it onto unit when the unit is used as
air conditioner. Since partial indoor air will
be heated
as heat air and discharged to outside by
discharge pipe after cycling then outdoor air
will enter to maintain balance air pressure,
thus the air conditioner will only lower
temperature of partial regional air of indoor
room instead of turning entire indoor air to a
lower temperature.
Usage Location
1. Where room area is smaller than 15m2, and wall (or building) has well heat insulation
effect. As shown in following figure, if unit is in shown location, the cooling effect will be
better.
2. If room area is larger than 20m2, for example workshop or factory, the unit can only offer
cooled air to partial area(as shown in following figure),and people in this area can enjoy
better cooling effect.

OPERATING METHODS
Location Requirements Of The temp. range of this unit is
the Unit 16° C - 30°C
Unit Setup Place the unit on horizontal floor when using and maintain a
distance for above 50cm from walls, surface of flammable
objects or other obstructions.
Power Check before connecting power:
The normal running fluctuation range of voltage of the unit is

prevent sudden drop of voltage when the unit is running.
It is necessary to exchange broken power hose by special
power hose. When it is necessary to change power hose or
maintain, please contact the seller and have them repaired by
professional personnel.
Earth must be conducted reliably and should connect to special
earthing equipments in building to ensure well earth.
Do not replace fuse by steel or copper and capacity for fuse
should be proper. It is forbidden to fix power on blade or sharp
objects to prevent creepage leaded by mangled wire.
Circuitry must be installed and fixed by professional personnel
following the national wiring regulations. Creepage protect
switch with enough capacity and 10A solenoid heat tripping air
switch must be contained in circuitry. It is forbidden to connect
earth wire to water pipe or gas pipe, plug off power plug or cut
off power supply when the unit is not going to be used.

DRAINAGE METHOD
During the process of cooling or drying, excess condensation will occur inside the unit, although the water
will be evaporated by the coil for maximum efficiency. In very warm temperature or high humidity condition,
it will require water drainage. When the internal water tank is full the buzzer will beep 8 times as a warning,”
“water full indicator will light up on the panel with H8 displayed on LED display window and the unit will
stop working. For the unit to resume operation water should be drained out of the unit from the drainage
hose. Remove the drain hose from the clamp and release the excess water at downward slope by removing
the rubber plug. The unit will resume running when the water is completely drained from the unit out of the
hose or the drain port.
INSTALLATION OF DRAINAGE HOSE
Note: The drainage hose must be installed before operating the unit otherwise a blockage may occur
affecting the normal operation of the unit.
- Drain Hose included:
- Installation of Drain Hose
1. Remove drain cap (B) from drain port (A).
12
2. Attach the drain hose clamp (C) to the back panel of the air conditioner near the drain port
(A) with the screw provided.
3. Attach one end of the drain hose (D) to the drain port (A) with the clip (E). Make sure the
hose is fully inserted into the drain port (A).
4. Insert the rubber plug (F) into the other end of the drain hose (D) and secure with clip (E).
5. Snap the free end of the drain hose (D) into the drain hose clamp (C).
