• There should not be any obstacles to prevent
the air circulation.
• A place where air circulation in the room will be
good.
• A place where drainage can be easily obtained.
• A place where noise prevention is taken into
consideration.
• Do not install the unit near the door way.
• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from
the wall, ceiling, fence, or other obstacles.
2. Outdoor unit
• If an awning is built over the unit to prevent
direct sunlight or rain exposure, be careful that
heat radiation from the condenser is not
restricted.
• There should not be any animals or plants
which could be affected by hot air discharged.
• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from
the wall, ceiling, fence, or other obstacles.
The mounting wall should be strong and solid
enough to protect it from the vibration.
1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with
four Type "A" screws.
(If mounting the unit on the concrete wall, consider using anchor bolts.)
• Always mount the Installation plate horizontally
by aligning the marking-off line by means of the
thread and a level.
2. Drill the piping hole with 70mm dia. holecore
drill.
• Line according to the arrows marked on lower
the left and the rght side of the Installation Plate.

the outdoor unit.
• Cut the pipes a little longer than the measured
distance.
• Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the length of the
pipe.
2. Remove burrs.

• Turn the pipe end toward down to avoid the
metal powder entering the pipe.
Caution:
If burrs are not removed, they may cause a gas
leakage.
3. Flaring the pipes.
• Insert the flare nuts, mounted on the connection
ports of both indoor and outdoor unit, onto the
copper pipes. Some refrgerant gas may leak,
when the flare nuts are removed from the indoor
unit, as some gas is charged to prevent the
inside of the pipe from rusting.
• Fit the copper pipe end into the Bar of flare tool
about 0~0.5mm higher. (See illustration)
• Flare the pipe ends.

WARNING
Loose wiring may cause the terminal to overheat or
result in unit malfunction. A fire hazard may also exist.
Therefore, be sure all wiring is tightly connected.
When connecting each power wire to the corresponding
terminal, follow instructions "How to connect wiring to the
terminals" and fasten the wire tightly with the fixing screw
of the terminal plate.
How to connect wiring to the terminals
For solid core wiring (or F-cable)
(1) Cut the wire end with a wire cutter of wire-cutting pli-
ers, then strip the insulation to expose the solid wire
about 25mm(15/16")
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on
the terminal plate.
(3) Using pliers, bend the solid wire to from a loop suit-
able for the terminal screw.
(4) Shape the loop wire properly, place it on the terminal
plater and tighten securely with the terminal screw
using a screwdriver.
For strand wiring
(1) Cut the wire end with a wire cutter or wire-cutting pli-
ers, then strip the insulation to expose the strand
wiring about 10mm(3/8").
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on
the terminal plate.
(3) Using a round terminal fastener or pliers, securely
clamp each stripped wire end with a round terminal.
(4) Position the round terminal wire, and replace and
If a power plug is not to be used, provide a circuit breaker between power source and the unit as shown below.

Connect the cable to the indoor unit
1. Connect the wires to the terminals on the control
board individually according to the outdoor unit connection.
• Ensure that the color of the wires of outdoor unit and the
terminal No. are the same as those of indoor unit respectively.
(Refer to Wiring diagram on page11.)
WARNING
• Be sure to refer to the wiring diagram label inside the
cover control and carry out the correct field wiring.
Wrong wiring can cause the unit to misoperate to result
in a fire hazard.
• Check local electrical codes and any specified wiring
instructions or limitations.
2. Attach the Grille onto the cabinet.
• Grasp lower the left and right side of the Grille and
engage four tabs on the top inside edge of the chassis.
• Press the Grille toward the chassis until it will be back into
place.
1. Confirm that both the liguid side valve and gas
side valve are set to the opened position.
2. Connect the vaccum pump to the center hose of
the manifold gauge.
3. Connect the service port of the gas side valve to
the low side of the gauge.
4. Evacuation for approximately one hour.
- Confirm that the gauge needle has moved
toward-76 cmHg (vacuum of 4 mmHg or less).
5. Close the Low handle of the gauge turn off the
vacuum pump, and confirm that the gauge needle does not move(approximately 5 minutes
after turning off the vacuum pump).
6. Disconnect the charge hose from the vacuum
pump.
- Vacuum pump oil.
If the vacuum pump oil becomes dirty or depleted,replenish as needed.
7. Mount the valve caps and the service port caps.
8. Apply steps from 1 to 7 to each unit (A-unit, Bunit) by the same method.

• Procedure
1. Connect the gauge to the charging cylinder.
- Connect the charge hose which you disconnected 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 low handle on the gauge and charge
the system with liquid refrigerant.
- If the system can not be charged with the specified 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).
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.
4. Immediately disconnect the charge hose from
the gas side valve's service port.
- Stopping partway will allow the gas to be discharged.
- 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.(4.2kg.m/5.5kg.m.)
- Be sure to check for gas leakage.
6. Apply steps from 1 to 5 to each unit (A-unit, Bunit) by the same method.

Temperature difference between intake and discharge air depends on room air humidity. When the room air
humidity is relativery higher, temperature difference is smaller. When the room air humidity is relatively lower
temperature difference is larger.
2. Check temperature and pressure of refrigeration cycle.

1. The suction pressure is usually 4.5~6.0 kg/cm2G at normal condition.
2. The temperature can be measured by attaching the thermometer to the low pressure tubing and wrap it with
putty.
