When wiring:
Electrical shock can cause severe personal injury or death. Only a qualified, experienced electrician should attempt to wire this system.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
When transporting:
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your finger.
When installing...
... in a wall: Make sure the wall is strong enough to hold the unit's weight.
It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support.
... in a room: Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent "sweating" that can cause
dripping and water damage to wall and floors.
... in moist or uneven locatinons: Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks provide a solid,
level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.
... in an area with high winds: Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal
frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
... in a snowy area(for Heat Pump Model): Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is
higher than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When connecting refrigerant tubing
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box(mains) before opening the unit to check or repair
electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have
been left inside the unit being serviced.
Special warnings
WARNING
• Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons can result in hazards to you and others. Installation MUST conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code NFPA 70/ANSI C1-1993 or current edition and Canadian Electrical Code Part1 CSA C.22.1.

Flaring work
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable.
1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased locally.
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m (5.0ft) longer than the pipe length.
Burrs removal
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid dropping burrs into the tubing.
Putting nut on
• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor unit, then put them on pipe/tube having completed burr removal. (not possible to put them on after flaring work)
Flaring work
• Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown

Flaring Work and Connection of Piping
Check
1. Compare the flared work with the figure by.
2. If a flared section is defective, cut it off and do flaring work again.
Indoor
1. Prepare the indoor unit's piping and drain hose for installation through the wall.
2. Remove the plastic tubing retainer(see the illustration by) and pull the tubing and drain hose away from chassis.
3. Replace only the plastic tubing holder 1, not the holder 2 in the original position.
1. Route the indoor tubing and the drain hose in the direction of rear right.
2.
Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit from the outdoor unit through the piping hole.
• Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.
• Make a small loop with the cable for easy connection later.
3.Tape the tubing, drain hose, and the connecting cable.Be sure that the drain hose is located at the lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the uper side can cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.
If the drain hose is routed inside the room, insulate the hose with an insulation material* so that dripping from "sweating"(condensation) will not damage furniture or floors. *Foamed polyethylene or equivalent is recommended.

Air Purging and Evacuation
Air Purging and Evacuation
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below.
1. Pressure in the system rises.
2. Operating current rises.
3. Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
4. Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
5.Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system. Therefore, the indoor/outdoor unit and connecting tube must be checked for leak tight, and vacuumed to remove incondensible gas and moisture in the system.
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. Check that both the liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.
Leakage test
• Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge hoses.
CAUTION: Be sure to use a
manifold valve for leak testing. The high side manifold valve must always be kept closed.
• Pressurize the system to no more than 150
P.S.I.G.with dr y nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reached 150 P.S.I.G.Next, test for leaks with liquid soap.
CAUTION:
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.
:
Leakage test shoud be done for
each indoor unit connection set, separately.
1. Do a leakage 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.
2. 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.

1. 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, r un 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.
2.When the desired vacuum is reached, close the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve and stop the vacuum pump.
Finishing the job
1.With a ser vice valve wrench, turn the valve stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
2.Turn the valve stem of gas side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
3. Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas side service por t slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.
4. Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas side service por t and fasten the flare nut securely with an adjustable wrench.This process is very important to prevent leakage from the system.
5. 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 for test running.
: Repeat evacuation procedure for each
indoor unit.

Charging
■ Each outdoor unit is factory charged (nameplate charge) for the evaporator as well as a
7.5m(25ft) line set for each indoor line. Any time total line set is used either shorter or longer then the nominal 22.5m(75ft: for tri-zone) line set length the refrigerant charge has to be adjusted.
■ Whether the line set is made shor ter or longer you must adjust the charge based on how many ft of tubing are either added or removed based on 20g(0.22oz) of R-410A per meter(foot).
Example: A 80ft line set is used for tri - zone 5 additional ft X 0.22 ounces per foot= add 1.1
ounces of R-410A
Important:
If you are ever uncertain of the unit charge, reclaim, evacuate and weigh in the correct charge using the unit nameplate charge adjusting for line sets longer or shorter than 7.5m(25ft) for each indoor unit.

Test Running
1. Check that all tubing and wiring have been properly connected.
2. Check that the gas and liquid side service valves are fully open.
Prepare remote control
Remove the battery cover by pulling it according to the arrow direction. Insert new batteries making sure that the (+) and (–) of battery are installed correctly. Reattach the cover by pushing it back into position.
:
• Use 2 AAA(1.5volt) batteries.Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control if the system is not going to be used for a long time.
Evaluation of the performance
Operate all indoor units for 15~20 minutes, then check the system refrigerant charge:
1.Measure the pressure of one of the gas side
service valves.
2. Measure the temperature of the intake and
discharge of air.
3. Ensure the difference between the intake
temperature and the discharge is more than 8°C(14.4°F).
4. For reference, the gas side pressure of
optimum condition is as below.(Cooling)
:
If the actual pressure are higher than shown, the system is most likely over-charged, and charge should be removed.If the actual pressure are lower than shown, the system is most likely undercharged, and charge should be added.
: For maximum product life and efficiency this unit has been designed, in the heating mode, to lock-out at outdoor temperatures below 26-29°F. At outdoor temperatures below 26-29°F. another means of heating the conditioned space must be provided.
