2.3 Units Installation
2.3.1 Installation Positions of Condensing Units
● Outdoor Unit must be xed on stable and solid surface of oor.
● Don’t install Outdoor Unit under window or between buildings, and prevent the operation
noise from room.
● There should be no obstructions at both air inlet and outlet of indoor and outdoor units for
maintaining well air ventilation.
● When installing indoor unit, make sure that the hanging parts at top are strong enough to
stand the weight of unit.
2.3.2 Matters Need Attention
● Before installation, make sure that the power supply comply with nameplate and check the
security of the power supply.
● Do not use or place combustible and explosive gas or liquid near the air conditioner.
● Do not attempt to install Air Conditioner by yourself to guarantee the air Conditioner can be
permanent use.
● In the event of malfunction(burning smell, etc.),stop operation immediately and turn off the
power switch.
● Do not insert ngers or objects into the outlet port or inlet grillers.
● Do not check or repair the air Conditioner when it is running.
● Do not sprinkle water on the air Conditioner or operate it with wet hands.
● Do not climb or place objects on the air conditioner.

2.4 Installation Recommendations
NOTE: In some cases noise in the living area has been traced to gas pulsations from improper
installation of equipment.
1). Locate unit away from windows, patios, decks, etc. where unit operation sound may disturb
customer.
2). Ensure that vapor and liquid tube diameters are appropriate for unit capacity.
3). Run refrigerant tubes as directly as possible by avoiding unnecessary turns and bends.
4). Leave some slack between structure and unit to absorb vibration.
5). When passing refrigerant tubes through the wall, seal opening with RTV or other pliable
silicon--based caulk.(See Fig. 5.)
6). Avoid direct tubing contact with water pipes, duct work, oor joists, wall studs, oors, and
walls.
7). Do not suspend refrigerant tubing from joists and studs with a rigid wire or strap which comes
in direct contact with tubing. (See Fig. 5.)
8). Ensure that tubing insulation is pliable and completely surrounds vapor tube.
9). When necessary, use hanger straps which are 1 in. wide and conform to shape of tubing
insulation. (See Fig. 5.)
10). Isolate hanger straps from insulation by using metal sleeves bent to conform to shape of
insulation.
When outdoor unit is connected to factory--approved indoor unit, outdoor unit contains system
refrigerant charge good for 25 ft.
For proper unit operation, check refrigerant charge using charging information located on
control box cover and/or in the Check Charge section of this instruction.
NOTE: Avoid contact between tubing and structure

3.4 Braze Line Set
To help protect service valve seals during brazing,wrap water saturated cloths around
service valve bodies and copper tube stubs. Water saturated cloths must remain water saturated
throughout the brazing and cool−down process.
Braze line to the service valve.
When brazing line set to
service valves, point flame
away from service valve.

3.5 Preparation for Next Step
After all connections have been brazed, disconnect manifold gauge set from service ports.
Apply water saturated cloths to both services valves to cool piping. Once piping is cool, remove all
water saturated cloths.Reinstall service cap and core.Refer to the unit installation instructions for
the next step in preparing the unit.
4. Check Piston
There is a piston located in outdoor condensing unit, please verify the piston size based on the
below table. When matching with air handler, please make sure replace this piston in air handler.
