WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
Never use air or gases containing oxygen for leak testing or operating refrigerant compressors. Pressurized mixtures of air or gases containing oxygen can lead to an explosion.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section during extended periods of system shutdown. This causes refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the compressor at start−up.

INSTALLATION TIPS
Ideal installation locations include: Outdoor Unit
S A location which is convenient to installation and not exposed to
strong wind.
S A location which can bear the weight of outdoor unit and where the
outdoor unit can be mounted in a level position.
S A location which provides appropriate clearances (see Fig. 3). S Do not install the indoor or outdoor units in a location with special
environmental conditions. For those applications, contact your Ductless Split representative.
Avoid sags in the suction line to prevent the formation of oil
traps. Insulate
each tube with minimum 3/8−in. (10 m m) wall thermal pipe insu lation. Inserting the tubing into the insulation before making
the co n nectio ns will
save time and improve installation quality.
1. Remove the service valve cover, if provided with the unit.
2. Cut the pipe, with a pipe cutter, at 90 degrees (see Fig. 6).
3. Remove the service connection, if provided with the unit.

2. Locate outdoor unit and connect piping and wiring.
!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
In regions with snowfall and cold temperatures, avoid installing the outdoor unit in areas where it can be covered by snow. If the outdoor unit is installed in areas where heavy snow is expected, a field supplied ice or snow stand and/or field supplied−installed wind baffle should be installed to protect the unit from snow accumulation and/or blocked air intake. Blocking the air intake may result in reduced airflow, significantly reduced performance and damage to the equipment.
NOTE: Install the outdoor unit on a rigid base to reduce noise levels and vibration. Determine the optimal air outlet direction to prevent discharged air from being blocked. If the installation site is exposed to strong winds such as a coastal areas, ensure the fan’s proper operation by installing the unit lengthwise along the wall or use dust or shield plates. If the unit needs to be suspended, the installation bracket should comply with the suspension requirements in the installation bracket diagram. The installation wall should be solid brick, concrete or the same intensity construction, or take steps to reinforce and dampen the support. The connection between the bracket and the wall as well as the bracket and the air conditioner should be firm, stable and reliable. Ensure there is no obstacle which may block the radiating air.
MAKE REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS (OUTDOOR UNIT)
IMPORTANT: Use refrigeration grade tubing ONLY. No other type of tubing may be used. Use of other types of tubing will void manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not open service valves or remove protective caps from tubing ends until all the connections are made.
Bend tubing with bending tools to avoid kinks and flat spots. Keep the tubing free of dirt, sand, moisture, and other contaminants
avoid damaging the refrigerant system.

1. Pump system down to 28 in. of mercury and allow pump to con­tinue operating for an additional 15 minutes.
2. Close service valves and shut off vacuum pump.
3. Connect a nitrogen cylinder and regulator to system and open until system pressure is 2 psig.
4. Close service valve and allow system to stand for 1 hr. During this time, dry nitrogen will be able to diffuse throughout the system absorbing moisture.
5. Repeat this procedure as indicated in Fig. 16. System will then be free of any contaminants and water vapor.

Deep Vacuum Method
The deep vacuum method requires a vacuum pump capable of pulling a vacuum of 500 microns and a vacuum gage capable of accurately measuring this vacuum depth. The deep vacuum method is the best way to assure a system is free of air and liquid water (see Fig. 15).

Perform test operation after completing gas leak and electrical safety check. See the indoor unit installation instructions and owner’s manual for additional start up information.
SYSTEM CHECKS
1. Conceal the tubing where possible.
2. Make sure that the drain tube slopes downward along its entire length.
3. Ensure all tubing and connections are properly insulated.
4. Fasten tubes to the outside wall, when possible.
5. Seal the hole through which the cables and tubing pass.
OUTDOOR UNIT
1. Are there unusual noises or vibrations during operation?
Explain the Following Items To Customer (with the aid of the Owner’s Manual):
1. Explain care and maintenance.
2. Present the installation instructions to customer.
TROUBLESHOOTING
For ease of service, the systems are equipped with diagnostic code display LEDs on both the indoor and outdoor units. The outdoor diagnostic display is two LEDs (Red and Green) on the outdoor unit board and is limited to very few errors. The indoor diagnostic display is a combination of flashing LEDs on the display panel or the front of the unit.
There may be a few error codes displayed in the indoor unit that might relate to the outdoor unit’s problems. If possible, always check the diagnostic codes displayed on the indoor unit first.
The diagnostic codes displayed in the outdoor units are listed in Table 10.
