reversed to cooling cycle to defrost the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit.
• After 40 min heating mode operation, at 4 min interval, whether to carry out defrost control or not and the time
of defrost control are determined according to the following conditions.
1) While in heating mode operation, the maximum of the indoor pipe temperature is measured and it is com-
pared with the present indoor pipe temperature to get the difference of the indoor pipe temperatures (=the
maximum temperature of indoor pipe ? the present temperature of indoor pipe), according to which, whether
to carry out defrost control or not is determined.
2) According to the need of defrost control shown above and the elapsed time of heating mode operation at that
moment, the defrost control time is determined.
3) When the determined time of defrost control is below 7 min, heating mode operation continues without carry-
ing out defrost control. According to the procedure stated above, the determination is made again. When the
defrost control time is 7 min or longer, defrost control is then carried out.
• While in defrost control, the minimum temp of the indoor pipe is measured and it is compared with the present
temp of the indoor pipe to get the difference of the indoor pipe temperatures (=the present temperature of the
indoor pipe ? the minimum temperature of the indoor pipe). When the difference is 5°C or higher, defrost control is completed and heating mode operation is carried out.
• While in defrost control, if the defrost time determined before the start of defrost control is completed, defrost
control stops and heating mode operation is carried out regardless of the above condition.
• When the indoor pipe temp is 42°C or above, defrost control is not carried out even if the condition is one of
the defrost conditions above.

Installation
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.
1) 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
capillary 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.
2) Air purging with vacuum pump
1. 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.
2. 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.
• 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.

3. 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.
4. 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 tur n the valve stem coun-
terclockwise 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 connec-
tions by a soft brush to check for leakage of the
connecting points of the piping.
(5) If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage.

1. Air purging
Required tools : hexagonal wrench, adjustable
wrench, torque wrenches, wrench to
hold the joints, and gas leak detector.
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.
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 por t, and
then recharge with the specified amount of gas
from a gas cylinder.
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.

Do not use the existing charge set for R-22.
It is necessary to use new charge set for R410A. The pressure of R-410A is 1.6 times
higher than that of R-22. Thus, the high pressure side gauge of charge set should be used
higher pressure gauge of 50kg/cm2range.

1) Re-air purging
(Re-installation)
• Procedure
(1) Confirm that both the 2-way valve and the 3-
way valve are set to the closed position.
(2) Connect the charge set and a gas cylinder to
the service port of the 3-way valve.
– Leave the valve on the gas cylinder closed.
(3) Air purging.
– Open the valves on the gas cylinder and the
charge set. Purge the air by loosening the flare
nut on the 2-way valve approximately 45° for 3
seconds then closing it for 1 minute; repeat 3
times.
– After purging the air, use a torque wrench to
tighten the flare nut on the 2-way valve.
(4) Check for gas leakage.
– Check the flare connections for gas leakage.
(5) Discharge the refrigerant.
– Close the valve on the gas cylinder and dis-
charge the refrigerant until the gauge indicates
3 to 5 kg/cm2g.
(6) Disconnect the charge set and the gas cylin-
der, and set the 2-way and 3-way valves to the
open position.
– Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate
the valve stems.
(7) Mount the valve stem nuts and the service
port nut.
– Use torque wrench to tighten the service por t
nut to a torque of 1.8 kg.m.
– Be sure to check for gas leakage.
* CAUTION:
Do not leak the gas in the air during Air Purging.

2) Balance refrigerant of the 2-way, 3-way valves
(Gas leakage)
• Procedure
(1) Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves
are set to the back seat.
(2) Connect the charge set to the 3-way valve’s
port.
– Leave the valve on the charge set closed.
– Connect the charge hose with the push pin to
the service port.
(3) Open the valve (Lo side) on the charge set
and discharge the refrigerant until the gauge
indicates 0 kg/cm2G.
– If there is no air in the refrigerant cycle (the
pressure when the air conditioner is not running is higher than 1 kg/cm2G), discharge the
refrigerant until the gauge indicates 0.5 to 1
kg/cm2G. if this is the case, it will not be necessary to apply a evacuatin.
– Discharge the refrigerant gradually; if it is dis-
charged too suddenly, the refrigeration oil will
also be discharged.

3. Evacuation
(All amount of refrigerant leaked)
• Procedure
(1) Connect the vacuum pump to the charge set’s
center hose
(2) Evacuation for approximately one hour.
– Confirm that the gauge needle has moved
toward -76 cmHg (vacuum of 4 mmHg or less).
(3) Close the valve (Lo side) on the charge set,
turn off the vacuum pump, and confirm that
the gauge needle does not move (approximately 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum
pump).
(4) Disconnect the charge hose from the vacuum
pump.
– Vacuum pump oil.
If the vacuum pump oil becomes dirty or
depleted, replenish as needed.

4. 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 revers 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 unit is charged with R-410A.
Pay attention not to charge R-22.
\
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.
