Unit description
The MD 261-351 room air
conditioning units have a REMKO
MD...AT outdoor component as
well as an indoor unit MD...IT.
The outdoor component serves
to output the heat extracted by
the indoor unit from the room
being cooled. In heater operation,
the heat taken up by the outdoor
component can be discharged
by the indoor unit into the room
to be heated. In both operating
modes, the performance of the
compressor is adjusted precisely
to the requirement which thereby
regulates the set temperature with
minimal temperature variation.
This "inverter-technology" enables
power saving over a conventional
split-system and also reduces noise
emissions to a particularly low
level.
The outdoor component can be
installed outside or in indoor areas,
if certain requirements are met.
The indoor unit is designed for the
upper wall area in the interior. It
is operated via an infrared remote
control.
The outdoor component consists
of a refrigerant circuit with
compressor, fin liquefier, liquefier
fan, reverse flow valve and flow
regulator. The outdoor component
is controlled via the regulation of
the indoor unit.
The indoor unit consists of
a fin evaporator, evaporator
fan, regulation system and
condensation pan.
Floor consoles, wall consoles,
refrigerant pipes and condensation
pumps are available as accessories.

In cooling mode, the air in the room is cooled down to the adjusted
nominal temperature. The desired room temperature is set with the
▲/▼buttons in 1 °C increments. If the room temperature is 1 °C
above the selected nominal temperature, then the indoor unit starts
to cool down the air in the room. The inverter controller checks the
difference between the adjusted nominal temperature and the actual
room temperature. In the event of a greater difference, a higher cooling
performance is created. In the event of a smaller difference, a lower
cooling performance is created. This serves to maintain the air discharge
temperature and the room temperature.
If the adjusted room temperature is lower than approx. 2 °C, then the
control system turns the cooling function off. To protect the compressor,
the regulation only turns the cooling on again after a waiting period of 3
minutes.

In dehumidification mode, the room temperature is set to 24 °C. Due to
the low temperature of the refrigerant, the dew point of the air on the
evaporator is lower. The excess moisture in the air is condensed by the
evaporator, the room is dehumidified. The fan speed should be set to
automatic in order to achieve a maximum level of dehumidification. In
automatic mode, the fan is switched on and off in intervals.

HEATING Mode
In the heating mode, you can heat the room in spring or fall. The desired
room temperature is set with the ▲/▼buttons in 1 °C increments. If
the room temperature is 1 °C below the selected nominal temperature,
then the indoor unit starts to warm up the air in the room. The
inverter controller checks the difference between the adjusted nominal
temperature and the actual room temperature.
In the event of a greater difference, a higher cooling performance is
created.
In the event of a smaller difference, a lower cooling performance is
created.
This serves to maintain the air discharge temperature and the room
temperature.
If the adjusted room temperature is still exceeded by approx. 2 °C,
then the control system turns the heating function off. To protect the
compressor, the regulation only turns the heater on again after a waiting
period of 3 minutes.
In heating mode, the indoor unit fan motor is switched on after a delay,
in order to prevent the discharge of cold air.
The outdoor unit fins could crack at low external temperatures.
The reversal of the cooling circuit undertakes defrosting in intervals. The
display shows "H1" during the defrosting period.

Important points prior to
installation
■
Locate the unit in original
packaging as close as possible
to the installation point to avoid
transport damage.
■
Check the contents of the
packaging for completeness
and check the unit for visible
transport damage. Report
any damage immediately to
your contracting party and the
shipping company.
■
Lift the unit at the corners
and not on the refrigerant or
condensation connections
■
The refrigerant pipes
(injection and suction pipe),
valves and connections must be
insulated impervious to vapour
diffusion. If necessary, insulate
the condensation pipe also
■
Select an installation location
which allows air to freely
flow through the inlet and
outlet. (See section "Minimum
clearances").
■
Do not install the unit in
the immediate vicinity of
devices with intensive thermal
radiation. Installation near
sources of thermal radiation
reduces the unit output.
■
Open the blocking valves of the
refrigerant pipes only after the
installation is complete.
■
Seal off open refrigerant pipes
with suitable caps or adhesive
strips to avoid infiltration of
moisture and never kink or
compress the refrigerant pipes.
■
Avoid unnecessary bends
. This minimises the pressure
loss in the refrigerant pipes and
ensures that the compressor
oil can flow back without
obstruction.
■
Make special preparations
regarding the oil return if the
outdoor unit is located above
the indoor unit. (See section
"Oil return flow measures").
■
Add refrigerant if the basic
length of the refrigerant pipe
exceeds 5 metres.
For the quantity of additional
refrigerant, refer to chapter
"Add refrigerant".
■
Only use the union nuts for
the refrigerant pipes provided
in the delivery scope, and
remove them just shortly before
connecting them with the
refrigerant pipes.
■
Make all electrical connections
according to valid DIN and DE
regulations.
■
See electrical connection
diagram. Always attach
electrical cables properly in
electrical clamps. Otherwise a
fire could result.

mm diameter and 10 mm slope
from the inside to the outside
must be made for each indoor
unit
■
We recommend that the
inside of the hole is padded or
lined, e.g. using a PVC tube,
to prevent the pipes being
damaged.
■
After installation, the wall
opening should be closed off on
the building side with a suitable
sealant. Do not use substances
containing cement or lime!

Selection of the installation
location
Indoor unit
The indoor unit is designed for
horizontal wall installation above
doors. However, it can also be
used on the upper wall area
(min. 1.75 m from upper edge of
floor).
Outdoor component
The outdoor component is
designed for horizontal base
installation outdoors. It should
be placed on level, flat and firm
ground. The unit should also
be secured to prevent toppling.
The outdoor component can be
set up outside as well as inside a
building. For external installation,
please observe the following notes
to protect the unit from weather
conditions.
Wind
If the unit is being installed in
windy areas, ensure that the
warm outlet air discharges in the
main wind direction. If this is not
the case it may be necessary to
install a windbreak (provided by
the customer). Ensure that the
windbreak does not adversely
affect the air intake to the unit.
Windbreak

Suction pipe
Condensation pipe
Injection pipe
Installation material
The indoor unit is fastened using a
wall bracket and 4 threaded screws
(provided by the customer).
The outdoor component is
attached with 4 screws via a wall
bracket on the wall or a floor
bracket on the ground.
Rain
The unit should be at least 10 cm
off the ground when mounted on
the roof or ground. A floor bracket
is optionally available.
Sun
The liquefier on the outdoor
component radiates heat.
Exposure to direct sunlight will
further increase the temperature
of the fins and reduce the
heat output of the finned
heat exchanger. The outdoor
component should therefore be
installed as near as possible to
the north side of the building.
If necessary, take measures
to provide sufficient shade
(responsibility of customer). One
possible solution is to build a small
roof. These measures should not
affect the flow of warm outlet air.
Snow
The unit should be wall-mounted
in areas of heavy snowfall.
Installation should be at least
20 cm above the expected level
of snow to prevent snow from
entering the outdoor component.
An optional wall bracket is
available as an accessory.

Installation inside buildings
■
Ensure there is adequate heat
dissipation when placing the
outdoor component in cellars,
attics, adjoining rooms or halls
(Fig 4).
■
Install an additional fan with
a rated flow comparative to
that of the outdoor component
being installed in the room.
This is used in conjunction with
ventilation ducts to compensate
any pressure losses
(Figure 4)
■
Ensure a continuous and
unobstructed air flow from
outside, preferably using
sufficiently large air intakes
placed opposite each other
(Figure 4).

Connection of refrigerant
pipes
The on site connection of the
refrigerant pipes is made inside the
unit.
It may be necessary to fit a reducer
or flared adapter to the indoor
unit. These fittings are included
as standard. Once installed, the
connections should be made tight
against vapour diffusion.
CAUTION
The units are factory filled with
dry nitrogen to check for leaks.
The pressurised nitrogen is
released when loosening the
union nuts.
The following instructions describe
the installation of the refrigerant
circuit and the assembly of the
indoor unit and the outdoor
component.
1.
The required pipe diameters are
given in the table "Technical
data".
5. Verify that the shape of the
flange is correct(Figure 8).
6. First connect and hand-tighten
the refrigerant connections
to ensure they are correctly
seated.
7. Now fully tighten the fittings
using 2 suitably sized openended spanners. Use one
spanner to counter the force
when tightening the fitting
(Figure 9).
8. Use insulation hoses which are
designed for this temperature
range and diffusion tight.
9. Lay the refrigerant pipes from
the indoor unit to the outdoor
component. In doing so, ensure
6 Deburring the refrigerant pipe
Refrigerant pipe
that they are sufficiently
attached and take measures for
the oil return, if necessary!
10.
Observe the permitted bending
radius for the refrigerant pipes
during installation. Never bend
a pipe twice in the same place.
Brittle pipes and potential
cracking are the consequences.
NOTE
Only employ tools and
components suitable for
refrigeration applications.
11.
Use the wall or floor brackets
to fit the outdoor component
against structural parts
approved to support the static
load (refer to the installation
instructions for the brackets).
7 Flanging the refrigerant pipe
Flanging tool
2. Remove the factory-fitted
protective caps and union
nuts on the connections.
These should be used during
installation.
3. Before flanging the refrigerant
pipes, ensure that the union nut
is fitted on the pipe.
4. Prepare the laid refrigerant
pipes as shown below
(Figure 6+7).

Ensure that structure-borne
sound is not transferred to parts
of the building. Use vibration
dampers to reduce the effects
of structure-borne sound!
13.
Prepare the refrigerant pipe
for the outdoor component as
described above.
Supplementary information
for Installation
■
For the combination of the
outdoor component with some
indoor units, the connection of
the refrigerant pipes may differ.
In that case, install the provided
reducer or expansion fittings to
the indoor unit.
■
If the basic length of the
refrigerant pipe exceeds
5 m, add refrigerant when
commissioning the system for
the first time. (See chapter
"Add refrigerant").
Tightness check
Once all the connections have
been established, the pressure
gauge station is attached as
follows to the Schrader valve (if
fitted):
red = small valve
= injection pressure
blue = large valve
= suction pressure
Once connected, perform a
tightness test using dried nitrogen.
The tightness test involves
spraying a leak detection spray
onto the connections. If bubbles
are visible, the connections have
not been properly made. Retighten the connection or prepare
a new flange.
If the tightness test is successfully
completed, depressurise the
refrigerant pipes and start a
vacuum pump with an absolute
final partial pressure of min. 10
mbar to remove the air in the pipe.
Any humidity present in the pipes
is also removed.
CAUTION
A vacuum of min. 20 mbar
must be created!
The time required to generate
the vacuum is dependent on the
pipework volume
of the indoor unit and the length
of the refrigerant pipes. This
always takes at least 60 minutes.
Once any foreign gases and
humidity have been completely
extracted from the system, the
valves on the pressure gauge
station are closed and the valves
on the outdoor component are
opened as described in the chapter
on "Commissioning".
Page 22
REMKO MD

Condensation
connection
Due to the dew point shortfall,
condensation forms on the
evaporator during the cooling operation and on the liquefier
during heating operation.
Below the evaporator is a catch
pan, which must be connected
with a drain.
The lower part of the outdoor
component housing is formed in
the shape of a collection tray. The
condensate connection included
in the scope of delivery is to be
attached here.
■
The condensation pipe should
have a fall of min. 2 %.
(Fig. 10).
If necessary, fit vapour diffusion
tight insulation.
■
The condensation pipe from
the unit should run freely
into the drainage pipe. If the
condensation runs directly
into a sewer pipe, fit a trap to
prevent any unpleasant odours.
■
When operating the unit at
ambient temperatures below
0 °C , make sure to route the
condensation pipe freeze proof.
The lower part of the housing
is also to be kept frost free by
the customer, in order to ensure
permanent draining of the
condensate.
If necessary, fit supplementary
pipe heating.
■
After completed routing, check
for unobstructed condensation
discharge and ensure that a
permanent seal is provided.
10
Fall of condensation pipe
minimum
2% fall
The condensation hose is designed
to be installed on the left side
(view from front).
Electrical connection
Mains cable must be installed as
voltage supply to the indoor unit
and a control cable to the outdoor
component, with appropriate
safeguards.
CAUTION
All electrical installation work
should be performed by specialist contractors. Isolate the
voltage supply when connecting the electrical terminals.
The device's scope of delivery
includes a five metre long, fourcore control cable for connecting
the indoor unit to the outdoor
component. The control cable to
the outdoor component contains
a data line which serves to realise
communication between the
indoor unit and the outdoor
component. This is used for
controlling the cooling and heating
performance and for forwarding
fault indications to the indoor unit.

23
If an optionally available
condensation pump is used on
the unit, then - for the shut
off contact of the pump - an
additional relay to increase the
switching power to shut off the
compressor might be needed.
■
Control cables should be
screened if laid in areas exposed
to strong magnetic fields.
■
Details concerning the electrical
protection of the system are
given in the section on technical
data.
