Tubing Preparation

• Do not use contaminated or damaged copper tubing. Do not remove plastic, rubber plugs and brass nuts from the valves, fittings, tubings and coils until you are ready to connect suction or liquid line into valves or fittings.

• If any brazing work is required, ensure that the nitrogen gas is passed through coil and joints while the brazing work is done. This will eliminate soot formation on the inside wall of the copper tubing.

• Cut the copper tubing with a tube cutter. See Figure 11.

• Remove burrs from cut ends by holding tubing

downwards to prevent metal chips from entering the tubing.

• Slide the flar e nuts, for both the indoor unit and outdoor unit onto the copper tubing.

• Flare the tubing as shown in Figure 11, Figure 12 and Table 2.

• The flare must be even and not cracked or scratched.

Vacuuming and Charging

Purging the Piping and the Indoor Unit

Except for the outdoor unit which is pre-charged with refrigerant, the indoor unit and the refr igerant connection pipes must be air-purged because the air containing moisture that remains in the refrigerant cycle may cause malfunction of the compressor.

• Remove the caps from the valve and the service port.

• Connect the center of the charging gauge to the

vacuum pump.

• Connect the charging gauge to the service port of the 3-way valve. (See Figure 18.)

• Start the vacuum pump. Evacuate for approximately 30 minutes. The evacuation time varies with different vacuum pump capacity. Confirm that the charging gauge needle has moved towards -760mmHg

(-29.9”Hg).

Caution:

• If the gauge needle does n ot move to -760mmHg, be sure to check for gas leaks (using the refrigerant detector) at flare type connection of the indoor and outdoor unit and repair the leak before proceeding to the next step.

• Close the valve of the charging gauge and stop the vacuum pump.

• On the outdoor unit, open the suction valve (3 way) and liquid valve (2 way) (in anti-clockwise direction) with 4mm key for hexagon sacked screw.

Figure18. 3-way Suction Valve on Outdoor Unit

Additional Charge

The refrigerant is pre-charged in the outdoor unit. If the tubing length between the indoor and outdoor unit is no more than 25ft. than an additional charge after evacuation is not necessary. If the tubing length is more than 25ft., use additional R410A as indicated in Table 5.

Charge Operation

This operation must be done by using a gas cylinder and a precise weighing machine. The additional charge is topped-up into the outdoor unit using the suction valve via the service port. See Figure 20.

• Remove the service port cap.

• Connect the low pressure side of the charging gauge

to the suction service port center of the cylinder tank and close the high pressure side of the gauge. Purge the air from the service hose.

• Start the air conditioner unit.

• Open the gas cylinder and low pressure charging

valve.

• Whe n the required re frigerant quantity is pumpe d into the unit, close the low pressure side and the gas cylinder valve.

• Disconnect the service hose form service port.

Put

back the service port cap.

Special Precautions When Dealing With R410A Unit

R410A is a new HFC refrigerant which does not damage the ozone layer. The working pressure of this new refrigerant is 1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant (R22), thus proper installation/servicing is essential.

• Never use refrigerant other than R410A in an airconditioner which designed to operat e with R410A.

• POE oil is used as lubricant for R410A compressor, which is different from the mineral oil used for R22 compressor. During installation or servicing, extra precaution must be taken not to expose the R410A system too long to moist air. Residual POE oil in the piping and components can absorb moisture from the air.

• To prevent mischarging, the diameter of the service port on the flare valve is different from that of R22.

• Use tools and materials exclusively for refrigerant R410A. Tools exclusively for R410A are manifold valve, charging hose, pressure gauge, gas leak detector, flare tools, torque wrench, vacuum pump and refrigerant cylinder.

• As an R410A air conditioner incurs higher pressure than R22 units, it is essential to choose the copper pipes correctly. Never use copper pipes thinner than

0.8mm even though they are available in the market.

• If the refrigerant gas leakage occurs during installation/servicing, be sure to ventilate fully. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire, a poisonous gas may occur.

• When installing or removing an air conditioner, do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigerant cycle.

Unit Indicator Lights

IR Signal Receiver

When an infrared remote control operating signal is transmitted, the signal receiver on the indoor unit beeps to confirm acceptance of the signal transmission.

CAUTION

• R410A must be charged as liquid. Usually R410A

cylinder is equipped with a dip-pipe for liquid withdrawal. If there is no dip-pipe, the cylinder should be inverted so as to withdraw liquid R410A from the valve.

• Do not top-up when servicing leak, as this will

reduce the unit performance. Vacuum the unit thoroughly and then charge the unit with fresh R410A according to the amount rec ommended in the specification.

• Do not touch the compressor or refrigerant piping

when the chiller is running. If necessary wear protective gloves.

Special Features

Dry Mode

• Select this mode when the standard Cool mode does not provide sufficient dehumidification. The compressor and indoor low fan will cycle together and will operate for longer periods of time to provide the increa sed rate of dehumidification. As a result, the room temperature differential may increase slightly.

Heat Mode (Heat Pump Only)

• When the unit is switched on from cold start or defrosting cycle, the indoor fan will start to operate only after the indoor coil becomes warmer.

• When the set temperature is achieved, the indoor fan will stop as the indoor coil starts to cool.

Air Flow Control

• For more effective air circulation, you can manually adjust the air discharge grille to the left or right.

• During cool and dry mode operation, do not direct the air discharge louver downwards as it may cause condensate to drip. (See figure 24).

Hot Keep (For Heat Pump Only)

• With the Hot Keep switch OFF, the indoor fan will stop when coil temperature drops to 86ºF. With the switch ON, the fan will not stop unless coil temperature drops below 65ºF. With the switch in INTERNAL, and the unit is not heating, the fan is on for 30 seconds and off for 2 min. (See Figure 24).

• In cool mode, fan runs continuous at selected speed.

• The switch is located on front of the indoor unit, above

the ON/OFF switch (See Figure 24).

Figure 24

Overheating Protection (Heat Pump Only)

• If the indoor coil temperature exceeds 145ºF because of high ambient conditions, dirty air filter, etc., the compressor will turn off.

Frost Prevention

• If the indoor coil starts to frost in cooling mode, the compressor will stop.

• If the outdoor coil becomes frosted, heating will stop for a few minutes while the unit goes into defrost.

Fan Speed and Rated Cooling Capacity

• The rated cooling capacity is provided at the maximum fan speed.

• The cooling capacity is slightly lower when the unit is operating at MEDIUM and LOW fan speed.

Main Filters – Permanent and Washable

Air filters must be cleaned at regular intervals. Twice annually may be adequate in some areas, while twice monthly may be required in others. Areas with high dirt and lint content or heavy usage of units require more frequent filter maintenance than those areas of relative ly clean operating or low usage conditions. Unit malfunction will occur if air filters are not kept clean. Vacuum the filters from the dirty side or wash with hot water and a mild detergent. Allow the filters to dry thoroughly before replacing them. See Figure 25.

Electrostatic Air Purifying Filter

Pre-charged electrostatic polypropylene filter removes microscopic dust, smoke and small invisible particles to keep the room air clean.

Deodorizing Filter

Activated carbon filter removes unwanted smells and odors in the air and keeps the room air fresh.

IM-5WMF(SEER13)-0706

Figure 25. Installing Filters

Filter Replacement

Replace the electrostatic air purifying and deodorizing filters every 6 months or sooner if th ey turn brown.

Replacement filters can be purchased from your sales representative or distributor.

Use the new filter immediately once it has been removed from the package.

Auto Random Re-start Function

If there is a power loss to the building, the units will randomly restart when the power is restored. Control will restart at the last setting regardless of how long the power was off.

Low Ambient Kit

With this option, the unit can cool down to 32ºF outdoor temperature. (Standard units only cool down to 66ºF). To install, wire the Fan Speed Control Module (FSCM) in the outdoor unit per wiring diagram supplied with the kit. Attach the Outdoor Coil Sensor to the return bend as shown in Figure 26. Wrap sensor and return bend with insulating tape to promote accurate sensing of the refrigerant temperature. Refer also to the instructions supplied with the kit.
