Installation
The wall you select should be strong and solid
enough to prevent vibration
1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with four
type A screws. If mounting the unit on a concrete
wall, use anchor bolts.
• Mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning
the centerline using a level.
2. Measure the wall and mark the centerline. It is
also important to use caution concerning the
location of the installation plate-routing of the
wiring to power outlets is through the walls typically. Drilling the hole through the wall for piping connections must be done safely.
• Drill the piping hole with a ø70mm hole core drill.
Drill the piping hole at either the right or the left
with the hole slightly slanted to the outdoor side.
• Open the Front Grille.
• Pass Telephone Control Cord Wire through the hole
which the power cord goes through.
• Connect Telephone Control Cord Wire to the phone jack
of telephone PCB of Control Box.
• Fix Telephone Control Cord Wire inside Control box so
as not to disconnect.

Air purging
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have
undesirable effects as indicated below.
• Pressure in the system rises.
• Operating current rises.
• Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
• Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block cap-
illary tubing.
• Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration
system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and
outdoor unit must be leak tested and evacuated to remove
any noncondensables and moisture from the system.
• Do a leak test of all joints of the tubing(both indoor and outdoor) and both gas and liquid side service valves.
Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off the soap with a
clean cloth.
• After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve the
nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose connector
at the nitrogen cylinder. When the system pressure is
reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from the cylinder.
Preparation
• Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes)
between the indoor and outdoor units have been properly
connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the service valve caps from both the gas and
the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Note that both the liquid
and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are
kept closed at this stage.
Leak test
• Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges) and dry
nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge hoses.
• Pressurize the system to no more than 150 P.S.I.G. with
dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when the
gauge reading reached 150 P.S.I.G. Next, test for leaks
with liquid soap.
Air Purging
Air purging
Air purging with vacuum pump
Be sure to use a manifold valve for air purging. If it is not
available, use a stop valve for this purpose. The "Hi" knob
of the manifold valve must always be kept close.
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid
state, the top of the cylinder must be higher than its bottom
when you pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is
used in a vertical standing position.

Air purging
Evacuation
• Connect the charge hose end described in the preceding
steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and
indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve is open. Then,
run the vacuum pump.
The operation time for evacuation varies with tubing length
and capacity of the pump. The following table shows the
time required for evacuation.
• When the desired vacuum is reached, close the "Lo" knob
of the manifold valve and stop the vacuum pump.
Finishing the job
• With a service valve wrench, turn the valve stem of liquid
side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
• Turn the valve stem of gas side valve counter-clockwise to
fully open the valve.
• Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas side service
port slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.
• Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas side service
port and fasten the flare nut securely with an adjustable
wrench. This process is very important to prevent leakage
from the system.
• Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid side service
valves and fasten them tight.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump.
The air conditioner is now ready to test run.
(1) Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves.
(2) Remove the service-port cap from the 3-way valve.
(3) To open the 2-way valve turn the valve stem counter-
clockwise approximately 90°, wait for about 2~3 sec, and
close it.
(4) Apply a soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the
indoor unit connection or outdoor unit connections by a
soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points
of the piping.
(5) If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage.

The additional gas for air purging has been charged
in the outdoor unit.
However, if the flare connections have not be done
correctly and there gas leaks, a gas cylinder and the
charge set will be needed.
The air in the indoor unit and in the piping must be
purged. If air remains in the refrigeration pipes, it will
affect the compressor, reduce to cooling capacity,
and could lead to a malfunction.
• Procedure
(1) Recheck the piping connections.
(2) Open the valve stem of the 2-way valve coun-
terclockwise approximately 90°, wait 10 seconds, and then set it to closed position.
– Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate
the valve stem.
(3) Check for gas leakage.
– Check the flare connections for gas leakage.
(4) Purge the air from the system.
– Set the 2-way valve to the open position and
remove the cap from the 3-way valve’s service
port.
– Using the hexagonal wrench to press the valve
core pin, discharge for three seconds and then
wait for one minute. Repeat this three times.
(5) Use torque wrench to tighten the service port
nut to a torque of 1.8kg.cm.
(6) Set the 3-way valve to the back seat.
(7) Mount the valve stem nuts to the 2-way and 3-
way valves.
(8) Check for gas leakage.
– At this time, especially check for gas leakage
from the 2-way and 3-way valve’s stem nuts,
and from the service port nut.
Service port nut:
Be sure, using a torque wrench to tighten the service port nut (after using the service port), so that it prevents the
gas leakage from the refrigeration cycle.
CAUTION:
Do not leak the gas in the air during Air purging.
CAUTION:
If gas leakage are discovered
in step (3) above, take the following
mesures :
If the gas leaks stop when the piping connections
are tightened further, continue working from step (4).
If the gas leaks do not stop when the connections
are retightened, repair the location of the leak, discharge all of the gas through the service port, and
then recharge with the specified amount of gas from
a gas cylinder.

Gas Charging
(After Evacuation)
• Procedure
(1) Connect the charge hose to the charging
cylinder.
– Connect the charge hose which you dis-con-
nected from the vacuum pump to the valve at
the bottom of the cylinder.
– If you are using a gas cylinder, also use a
scale and reverse the cylinder so that the system can be charged with liquid.
(2) Purge the air from the charge hose.
– Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder
and press the check valve on the charge set to
purge the air. (Be careful of the liquid refrigerant). The procedure is the same if using a gas
cylinder.
(3) Open the valve (Lo side on the charge set and
charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
– If the system can not be charged with the spec-
ified amount of refrigerant, it can be charged
with a little at a time (approximately 150g each
time) while operating the air conditioner in the
cooling cycle; however, one time is not sufficient, wait approximately 1 minute and then
repeat the procedure (pumping down-pin).
(4) Immediately disconnect the charge hose from
the 3-way valve’s service port.
– Stopping partway will allow the gas to be dis-
charged.
– If the system has been charged with liquid
refrigerant while operating the air conditioner
turn off the air conditioner before disconnecting
the hose.
(5) Mount the valve stem nuts and the service
port nut.
– Use torque wrench to tighten the service port
nut to a torque of 1.8 kg.m.
– Be sure to check for gas leakage.
\
This is different from previous procedures.
Because you are charging with liquid refrigerant
from the gas side, absolutely do not attempt to
charge with larger amounts of liquid refrigerant
while operating the air conditioner.
