four times of the unit weight.
● The outdoor unit should be installed at least
3cm above the oor in order to install drain
joint.
● For the unit with cooling capacity of 2300W
~5000W, 6 expansion screws are needed;
for the unit with cooling capacity of 6000W
~8000W, 8 expansion screws are needed;
for the unit with cooling capacity of 10000W
~16000W, 10 expansion screws are needed.
at least 3cm above the floor

2. Fix the power connection wire and signal control wire with wire clip (only for
cooling and heating unit).
Note:
● Never cut the power connection wire to prolong or shorten the distance.
Step six: neaten the pipes
1. The pipes should be placed along the wall,
bent reasonably and hidden possibly. Min.
semidiameter of bending the pipe is 10cm.
2. If the outdoor unit is higher than the wall
hole, you must set a U-shaped curve in the
pipe before pipe goes into the room, in
order to prevent rain from getting into the
room.
Outdoor Condensate Drainage
U-shaped curve
drain hose

During heating operation, the condensate and defrosting
water should be drained out reliably through the drain hose.
Install the outdoor drain connector in a Φ25 hole on
the base plate and attach the drain hose to the connector
so that the waste water formed in the outdoor unit can be
drained out. The hole diameter 25 must be plugged.
Whether to plug other holes will be determined by the dealers
to actual conditions.
The 18K QD、24K QE UNIT drainage hole
consists of two Φ25 and two kidney holes (see the fig.1). The
drain plug consists of one Φ25 and two kidney plugs.

Vacuum pumping
Use vacuum pump
1. Remove the valve caps on
the liquid valve and gas
valve and the nut of refri gerant charging vent.
2. Connect the charging hose
of piezometer to the refri gerant charging vent of gas
valve and then connect the
other charging hose to the
vacuum pump.
3. Open the piezometer com pletely and operate for
10-15min to check if the
pressure of piezometer re mains in -0.1MPa.
4. Close the vacuum pump
and maintain this status for
1-2min to check if the pres sure of piezometer remains
in -0.1MPa. If the pressure decreases, there may be leakage.
5. Remove the piezometer, open the valve core of liquid valve and gas valve
completely with inner hexagon spanner.
6. Tighten the screw caps of valves and refrigerant charging vent.
7. Reinstall the handle.

Leakage detection
1. With leakage detector:
Check if there is leakage with leakage detector.
2. With soap water:
If leakage detector is not available, please use soap water for leakage detection.
Apply soap water at the suspected position and keep the soap water for more
than 3min. If there are air bubbles coming out of this position, there's a leakage.

4. The additional refrigerant oil and refrigerant charging required after prolonging
connection pipe
● After the length of connection pipe is prolonged for 10m at the basis of
standard length, you should add 5ml of refrigerant oil for each additional 5m
of connection pipe.
● The calculation method of additional refrigerant charging amount (on the basis
of liquid pipe):
Additional refrigerant charging amount = prolonged length of liquid pipe ×
additional refrigerant charging amount per meter
● Basing on the length of standard pipe, add refrigerant according to the
requirement as shown in the table. The additional refrigerant charging amount
per meter is different according to the diameter of liquid pipe. See the
following sheet.
