ENGLISH
CAUTION
• The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regula­tions for the designed pressure 3.8Mpa(551.1psi).
• Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state. If the refrigerant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system will not work properly.
• Do not place the refrigerant container under the direct rays of the sun to prevent it from exploding.
• For high-pressure refrigerant, any unapproved pipe must not be used.
• Do not heat pipes more than necessary to prevent them from softening.
• Be careful not to install wrongly to minimize economic loss because it is expensive in comparison with R22.
The refrigerant R410A has the property of higher operating pressure in comparison with R22. Therefore, all materials have the characteristics of higher resisting pressure than R22 ones and this characteristic should be also considered during the installation. R410A is an azeotrope of R32 and R125 mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of R410A is 0.

INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable
- Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes pur­chased locally.
- Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
- Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
- Cut the cable 1.5m(4.92ft) longer than the pipe length.
Burrs removal
- Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
- Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to down­ward direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid to let burrs drop in the tubing.
Flaring work
- Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below.
Firmly hold copper tube in a bar(or die) as in­dicated dimension in the table above.
Check
- Compare the flared work with figure below.
- If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the flared section and do flaring work again.

Precautions when connecting pipes
- See the following table for flare part machining dimensions.
- When connecting the flare nuts, apply refrigerant oil to the inside and outside of the flares and turn them three or four times at first. (Use ester oil or ether oil.)
-
See the following table for tightening torque.(Applying too much torque may cause the flares to crack.)
- After all the piping has been connected, use nitrogen to perform a gas leak check.
1 Remove the cap and turn the valve counter clockwise with the hexagon wrench.
2 Turn it until the shaft stops.
Do not apply excessive force to the shutoff valve. Doing so may break the valve body, as the valve is not a backseat type. Always use the special tool.
3 Make sure to tighten the cap securely.

CAUTION
• Always use a charge hose for service port connection.
• After tightening the cap, check that no refrigerant leaks are present.
• When loosening a flare nut, always use two wrenches in combination, When connecting the piping, always use a spanner and torque wrench in combination to tighten the flare nut.
• When connecting a flare nut, coat the flare(inner and outer faces) with oil for R410A(PVE) and hand tighten the nut 3 to 4 turns as the initial tightening.

Precautions in high humidity circumstance: This air conditioner has been tested according to the "ISO Conditions with Mist" and confirmed that there is not any default. However, if it is operated for a long time in high humid atmosphere (dew point temperature: more than 73.4°F), water drops are liable to fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according to the fol­lowing procedure:
- Heat insulation material to be prepared... EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Meth­ylene)-over 248°F the heat-resistance temperature.
- Add the insulation over 10mm(0.39 inch) thickness at high humidity environment.
Closing shutoff valve
1 Remove the cap and turn the valve clockwise with the hexagon wrench.
2 Securely tighten the valve until the shaft contacts the main body seal.

Plumbing materials and storage methods
Pipe must be able to obtain the specified thickness and should be used with low impurities. Also when handling storage, pipe must be careful to prevent a fracture, deformity and wound. Should not be mixed with contaminations such as dust, moisture.
Refrigerant piping on three principles
Drying Cleanliness Airtight
Should be no moisture inside No dust inside.
There is no refrigerant leak-

Cause failure
- Significant hydrolysis of re­frigerant oil
- Degradation of refrigerant oil
- Poor insulation of the com­pressor
- Do not cold and warm
- Clogging of EEV, Capillary
- Degradation of refrigerant oil
- Poor insulation of the com­pressor
- Do not cold and warm
- Clogging of EEV, Capillary
- Gas shortages
- Degradation of refrigerant oil
- Poor insulation of the com­pressor
- Do not cold and warm
Counter­measure
- No moisture in the pipe
- Until the connection is completed, the plumbing pipe entrance should be strictly controlled.
- Stop plumbing at rainy day.
- Pipe entrance should be taken side or bottom.
- When removal burr after cutting pipe, pipe entrance should be taken down.
- Pipe entrance should be fitted cap when pass through the walls.
- No dust in the pipe.
- Until the connection is completed, the plumbing pipe entrance should be strictly controlled.
- Pipe entrance should be taken side or bottom.
- When removal burr after cutting pipe, pipe entrance should be taken down.
- Pipe entrance should be fitted cap when pass through the walls.
- Airtightness test should be.
- Brazing operations to com­ply with standards.
- Flare to comply with stan­dards.
- Flange connections to comply with standards.

Nitrogen substitution method
Welding, as when heating without nitrogen substitution a large amount of the oxide film is formed on the internal piping.
The oxide film is a caused by clogging EEV, Capillary, oil hole of accumulator and suction hole of oil pump in compressor.
It prevents normal operation of the compressor. In order to avoid this problem, Welding should be done after replacing air by nitrogen gas. When welding plumbing pipe, the work is required.
1 Always use the nitrogen.(not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, and a Chevron gas):
Please use the following nitrogen pressure 0.02Mpa(2.9psi) Oxygen – Promotes oxidative degradation of refrigerant oil. Because it is flammable, it is strictly prohibited to use Carbon dioxide – Degrade the drying characteristics of gas Chevron Gas – Toxic gas occurs when exposed to direct flame.
2 Always use a pressure reducing valve.
3. Please do not use commercially available antioxidant. The residual material seems to be the oxide scale is observed. In fact, due to the organic acids generated by oxidation of the alcohol contained in the anti­oxidants, ants nest corrosion occurs. (causes of organic acid  alcohol + copper + water + temperature)

Precautions on Pipe connection / Valve operation
Pipe connection is done by connecting from the end of the pipe to the branching pipes, and the refrigerant pipe coming out of the outdoor unit is divided at the end to connect to each indoor unit. Flare connection for the indoor unit, and welding connection for the outdoor pipe and the branching parts.
- Use hexagonal wrench to open/close the valve.
CAUTION
Please block the pipe knock outs of the front and side panels after installing the pipes. (Animals or foreign objects may be brought in to damage wires.)
!
WARNING
• Always careful not to leak the refrigerant during welding.
• The refrigerant generates poisonous gas harmful to human body if combusted.
• Do not perform welding in a closed space.
• Be sure to close the cap of the service port to prevent gas leakage after the work.
