The wall you select should be strong and solid
enough to prevent vibration
1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with four
type A screws. If mounting the unit on a concrete
wall, use anchor bolts.
• Mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning
the centerline using a level.
2. Measure the wall and mark the centerline. It is
also important to use caution concerning the
location of the installation plate-routing of the
wiring to power outlets is through the walls typically. Drilling the hole through the wall for piping connections must be done safely.
• Drill the piping hole with a ø70mm hole core drill.
Drill the piping hole at either the right or the left
with the hole slightly slanted to the outdoor side.
• Open the Front Grille.
• Pass Telephone Control Cord Wire through the hole
which the power cord goes through.

AIR PURGING
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 cap-
illary 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.
Air purging with vacuum pump
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.
Leak test
• 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.
• Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges) and dry
nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge hoses.
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.
• 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.
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) 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 turn the valve stem counter-
clockwise 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 connections by a
soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points
of the piping.
(5) If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage.
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.
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.

Operation
• While in compressor off, the indoor fan repeats low airflow speed and pause.
• While the intake air temp is between compressor on temp. and compressor off temp., 10-min dehumidification
operation and 4-min compressor off repeat.
Compressor ON Temp.➲ Setting Temp+0.5°C
Compressor OFF Temp.➲ Setting Temp-0.5°C
• In 10-min dehumidification operation, the indoor fan operates with the low airflow speed.
■ Heating Mode Operation
• When the intake air temp reaches +3°C above the setting temp, the compressor is turned off. When reaches
the setting temp, the compressor is turned on.
Compressor ON Temp.➲ Setting Temp.
Compressor OFF Temp.➲ Setting Temp.+3°C
• While in compressor on, the indoor fan is off when the indoor pipe temp. is below 20°C, when above 28°C , it
operates with the low or setting airflow speed. When the indoor pipe temp is between 20°C and 28°C, it operates with Super-Low(while in sleep mode, with the medium airflow speed).
• While in compressor off, the indoor fan is off when the indoor pipe temp is below 33°C, when above 35°C , it
operates with the low airflow speed.
• If overloaded while in heating mode operation, in order to prevent the compressor from OLP operation, the
outdoor fan is turned on/off according to the indoor pipe temp.
• While in defrost control, both of the indoor and outdoor fans are turned off.
■ Defrost Control
• While in heating mode operation in order to protect the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit from freezing,
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.
• While in defrost control, the compressor is on and the indoor fan, the outdoor fan, and the 4 way valve are off.
