INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

3. Piping and Drainage of Indoor Unit

1) Preparation of pipings

1. Cut the pipes and the cable.

• Use the pipes purchased locally.

• Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.

• Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.

• Cut the cable 1.5m(5.0 ft) longer than the length of the pipe.

2. Remove burrs.

• Remove burrs from cut edges of pipes.

• 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 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 0.5~1.0mm higher. (See illustration)

• Make a flare at the end of copper pipe with a flare tool*.

* Use "RIDGID" or equivalent.

4. Tape the flaring portion to protect it from the dust or damages.

6. 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 corrossion 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.

1)Air Purging with a Vacuum Pump

§ Preparation

Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units has been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the valve caps from both the gas and the liquid side service valves on the outdoor unit. Note that both liquid and gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.

§ Leak test

1. 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 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.

2. 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.

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 vertial standing position.

3. 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.

4. After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve

the nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose connnector at the nitrogen cylinder. When the system pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from the cylinder.

§ Evacuation

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, run the vacuum pump. The operation time for evacuation varied with the tubing length and capacity of the pump. The following table shows the amount of time for evacuation. Allow the pump to operate until the system has been evacuated down to 300 microns. Allow the pump to continue running for an additional 15 minutes. Turn off the pump and leave the connections secured to the two service valves. After 5 minutes, if the system fails to hold 500 microns or less, check all connections for tight fit and repeat the evacuation procedure.

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 service 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 port slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.

4. 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 gas leakage from the system.

5. Replace the vlave caps at both gas and liquid side

service valves and fasten them securely tight.

This complete air purging with a vacuum pump. The air conditoner is now ready to test run.

Bolt

Tubing connection

(1) Check that all tubing and wiring have been properly connected. (2) Check that the gas and liquid side service valves are fully open.

Evaluation of the performance

Operate unit for 15~20 minutes, then check the system refrigerant charge:

(1) Measure the pressure of the gas side service valve. (2) Measure the outside ambient air temperature. (3) For reference; the gas side pressure of optimum condition is as below;

NOTE:
