When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing

WARNING

•

When performing piping work do not
mix air except for specified refrigerant
(R410A) in refrigeration cycle. It
causes capacity down, and risk of
explosion and injury due to high
tension inside the refrigerant cycle.

• Refrigerant gas leakage may cause fire.

• Do not add or replace refrigerant
other than specified type. It may
cause product damage, burst and
injury, etc.

• Ventilate the room well, in the event
that is refrigerant gas leaks during
the installation. Be careful not to allow
contact of the refrigerant gas with a
flame as this will cause the generation
of poisonous gas.

• Keep all tubing runs as short as
possible.

• Use the flare method for connecting
tubing.

• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the
matching surfaces of the flare and union
tubes before connecting them, then
tighten the nut with a torque wrench for
a leak-free connection.

• Check carefully for leaks before starting
the test run.

• Do not leak refrigerant while piping
work for an installation or re-installation,
and while repairing refrigeration parts.
Handle liquid refrigerant carefully as it
may cause frostbite.

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.

WARNING

• This product must not be
modified or disassembled under
any circumstances. Modified or
disassembled unit may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.

• Do not clean inside the indoor and
outdoor units by users. Engage
authorized dealer or specialist for
cleaning.

• In case of malfunction of this
appliance, do not repair by yourself.
Contact the sales dealer or service
dealer for repair.

CAUTION

• Do not touch the air inlet or the
sharp aluminum fins of the
outdoor unit. You may get injured.

• Ventilate any enclosed areas when
installing or testing the refrigeration
system. Escaped refrigerant gas,
on contact with fire or heat, can
produce dangerously toxic gas.

• Confirm after installation that no
refrigerant gas is leaking. If the gas
comes in contact with a burning
stove, gas water heater, electric
room heater or other heat source,
it can cause the generation of
poisonous gas.

Others

CAUTION

• Do not sit or step on the unit, you
may fall down accidentally.

• Do not touch the air inlet or the
sharp aluminum fins of the
outdoor unit. You may get injured.

• Do not stick any object into the
FAN CASE.
You may be injured and the unit
may be damaged.

2. SELECTING THE INSTALLATION SITE

AMP Air Conditioning

www.ampair.co.uk | [e-mail]

Indoor Unit

AVOID:

● areas where leakage of flammable gas may be expected.

● places where large amounts of oil mist exist.

● direct sunlight.

● locations near heat sources which may affect the

performance of the unit.

● locations where external air may enter the room directly.
This may cause “condensation” on the air discharge ports,
causing them to spray or drip water.

● locations where the remote controller will be splashed with
water or affected by dampness or humidity.

● installing the remote controller behind curtains or furniture.

● locations where high-frequency emissions are generated.

DO:

● select an appropriate position from which every corner of the
room can be uniformly cooled.

● select a location where the ceiling is strong enough to
support the weight of the unit.

● select a location where tubing and drain pipe have the
shortest run to the outdoor unit.

● allow room for operation and maintenance as well as
unrestricted air flow around the unit.

● install the unit within the maximum elevation difference
above or below the outdoor unit and within a total tubing
length (L) from the outdoor unit as detailed in the installation
manual packed with the outdoor unit.

● allow room for mounting the remote controller about 1 m (3.3
ft.) off the floor, in an area that is not in direct sunlight nor in
the flow of cool air from the indoor unit.

● The elevation (Slim Low Static Ducted) between the bottom
unit and the floor surface should be at least 2.4 m (8 feet).

● If the elevation (Slim Low Static Ducted) between them is
less than 2.4 m (8 feet), install a filter or a protective device
(field supply) not to touch the electrical parts or fan with
hands.
