TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

ENGLISH

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more electricity.

• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.

• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.

• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air conditioner is used for many hours.

• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

• Make sure that ventilation fan is enough

to cover all noxious gases from this place.

• Ensure enough distance from the cook-

ing room to install the air conditioner in such a place where it may not suck oily steam.

2. Avoid installng air conditioner in such places where cooking oil or iron powder is generated.

3. Avoid places where inflammable gas is generated.

4. Avoid place where noxious gas is generated.

5. Avoid places near high frequency generators.

- Minimum thickness of the insulation for the connecting pipe shall be 10 mm.

- If the Installation Plates are fixed to horizontal line, the indoor unit after installing will be declined to the bottomside.

CAUTION

Front of view

- The unit must be horizontal or inclined at angle.

- The inclination should be less than or equal to 1° or in between 10 to 20 mm inclined in drain direction as shown in fig.

Ceiling

10~20 mm

Side of view

- The unit must be inclined to the bottomside of the unit when finished installation.

THE INDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Indoor unit drain piping

- Drain piping must have down-slope (1/50 to 1/100): be sure not to provide up-and-down slope to prevent reversal flow.

- During drain piping connection, be careful not to exert extra force on the drain port on the indoor unit.

- Remove the rubber stopple before connecting drain hose.

- Hook on the bracket after connecting the drain hose as below.

- Be sure to execute heat insulation on the drain piping.

Heat insulation material: Polyethylene foam with thickness more than 8 mm.

Drain piping

- The drain hose should point downward for easy drain flow.

- Do not make drain piping like the following.

Drain test

Use the following procedure to test the drain pump operation:

- Set the air direction louvers up-and-down to the position(horizontally) by hand.

- Pour a glass of water on the evaporator using a kettle.

- Ensure the water flows through the drain hose of the indoor unit without any leakage and goes out the drain exit.

Heat insulation

Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resistance (over 120 °C).

Precautions in high humidity circumstance: This air conditioner has been tested according to the "KS Standard 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 23 °C), water drops are liable to fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according to the following procedure:

- Heat insulation material to be prepared... Adiabatic glass wool with thickness 10 to 20 mm.

- Stick glass wool on all air conditioners that are located in ceiling atmosphere.

- Remove the control box cover for electrical connection between the indoor and out door unit

- Use the cord clamper to fix the cord.

Connect the wires to the terminals on the control board individually according to the outdoor unit connection.

Control box cover

• The connecting cable connected to the indoor and outdoor unit should be complied with the following specifications (Rubber insulation, type H05RN-F approved by HAR or SAA).

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer of its service agent.

Precautions when laying power wiring Use round pressure terminals for connections

to the power terminal block.

When none are available, follow the below instruction

- Do not connect wiring of different thicknesses to the power terminal block. (Slack in the power wiring may cause abnormal heat.)

- When connecting wiring which is the same thickness, do as shown in the figure below.

- For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect firmly, then secure to prevent outside pressure being exerted on the terminal block.

- Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will strip the head and make proper tighterning impossible.

- Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

Round pressure terminal

Power wire

Connect same thickness

wiring to both sides.

It is forbidden to

connect two to one

side.

It is forbidden to

connect wiring of

different thicknesses.

TEST RUNNING

ENGLISH

Connection of power supply

Check the following items when installation is complete

Precautions in test running

TEST RUNNING

- The initial power supply must provide at least 90 % of the rated voltage. Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated.

Connect the power supply cord to the independent power supply.

- Circuit breaker is required. Operate the unit for 15 minutes or more.

Evaluation of the performance

Measure the temperature of the intake and discharge air.

Ensure the difference between the intake temperature and the discharge one is more than 8 °C (Cooling) or reversely (Heating).

After completing work, be sure to measure and record trial run properties, and store measured data, etc.

Measuring items are room temperature, outside temperature, suction temperature, blow out temperature, wind velocity, wind volume,

voltage, current, presence of abnormal vibration and noise, operating pressure, piping temperature, compressive pressure.

As to the structure and appearance, check following items.

- Is the circulation of air adequate?

- Is the draining smooth?

- Is the heat insulation completed (refrigerant and drain piping)?

- Is there any leakage of refrigerant?

- Is the remote controller switch operated?

- Is there any faulty wiring?

- Are not terminal screws loosened?

M4......118 N.cm {12 kgf.cm}

M5......196 N.cm {20 kgf.cm}

M6......245 N.cm {25 kgf.cm}

M8......588 N.cm {60 kgf.cm}

- To cancel the test run, press any button.

• For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heating season. If heating operation is carried out firstly, it leads to the trouble of compressor. Then attention must be paid.

• Carry out the test run more than 5 minutes without fail. (Test run will be cancelled 18 minutes later automatically)

CAUTION

Thermometer

TEST RUNNING

ENGLISH

Hand over

Teach the customer the operation and maintenance procedures, using the operation manual (air filter cleaning, temperature control, etc.).

After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:

• Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram pasted on the inside of control box cover.

• Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.

• The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could give rise to burnout of the wires.)

• Specification of power source.

• Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.

• Be sure that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage marked on the name plate.

• Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources specification. (Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)

• Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.

• The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.

- Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of, fuse breaking, disturbance to the normal function of a overload protection device.

- Proper starting power is not given to the compressor.

• Use only 1 remote-controller contained in indoor unit, when you combine to use both ceiling suspended type indoor unit and different Indoor units combinations.
