User Notice
The total capacity of the indoor units which runs at the same time can not exceed
150% of that of the outdoor units, otherwise, the cooling (heating) effect of each
indoor unit would be poor.
Switch the main power on 8 hours before starting the unit, helpful for a successful
startup.
It is a normal phenomenon that the indoor unit fan will still run for 20~70 seconds
after the indoor unit receives the “stop” signal so as to make full use of after-heat
for the next operation.
When the running modes of the indoor and outdoor units conflict, it will be
indicated on the display of the wired controller in five seconds and then the indoor
unit will stop. In this case, they can back to the normal condition by harmonizing
their running modes: the cooling mode is compatible with the dehumidifying mode
and the fan mode can go with any other mode. If the supply power fails when the
unit is running, then the indoor unit will send the “start” signal to the outdoor unit
three minutes later after power recovery.
Do not frequently power on/off the unit, otherwise it would cause the compressor,
fan, mainboard, electrostatic expansion valve, or other important component
damaged, and then make the unit fail.
During installation, the communication cable and the power cord must not be
twisted together but instead separated with an interval of at least 2cm, otherwise
the unit is likely to run abnormally.
Cautions for the Debugging and Maintenance Personnel.
During debugging and maintenance, prior to the startup of the compressor make
sure the heating belt of the compressor has been energized for at least eight
hours! Once the compressor is started, it must be guaranteed that it works
continuously for at least 30 minutes, otherwise it would be damaged!

may crack, which then would result in leakage.
②.
The refrigerant pipe should be supported by brackets, that is, don’t let the unit
withstand the weight of it.
CAUTION!
For the Multi system air conditioner unit, each pipe should be labeled to tell which
system it belongs to avoid mistaken inaccurate piping.
(5) Installation of the Protection Layer of the Refrigerant Pipe
1) The refrigerant pipe should be insulated by the insulating material and plastic
tape in order to prevent condensation and water leakage.
2) The joints of the indoor unit should be wrapped with the insulating material
and no gap is allowed on the joint of the indoor unit, as shown in Fig.8.
Fig. 8
CAUTION!
After the pipe is protected well enough, never bend it to form a small angle,
otherwise it would crack or break.
(6) Wrap the Pipe with Tape

them from the drain pipe to prevent the condensate water overflowing.
2) Wrap the pipe from the bottom of the outdoor unit to the top of the pipe where
Page 16
11
it enters the wall. During the wrapping, the later circle should cover half of the
former one.
3) Fix the wrapped pipe on the wall with clamps.
CAUTION!
①.
Do not wrap the pipe too tightly, otherwise the insulation effect would be
weakened. Additionally, make sure the drain hose is separated from the pipe.
②.
After that, fill the hole on the wall with sealing material to prevent wind and rain
coming into the room.
2.4 Refrigerant Charging and Trial Running
(1) Refrigerant Charging
1) The refrigerant has been charged into the outdoor unit before shipment, while
additional refrigerant still need be charged into the refrigerant pipe during the
field installation.
2) Check if the liquid valve and the gas valve of the outdoor unit are closed fully.
3) As shown in the following figure (Fig.9), expel the gas inside the indoor unit
and refrigerant pipe out by the vacuum pump.
Fig. 9
4) When the compressor is not running, charge the R410A refrigerant into the
refrigerant pipe from the liquid valve of the outdoor unit (do not do it from the
gas valve).
(2) Calculation of the Additional Refrigerant Chargeing

Notes：
①.
The refrigerant charge mentioned in the table above is not included those
charged additionally in the indoor unit and the refrigerant pipe.
②.
The amount of the additional refrigerant charge is dependent on the diameter
and length of the liquid refrigerant pipe which is decided by the actual yield
installation requirement.
③.
Record the additional refrigerant charge for future maintenance.
2) Calculation of the Additional Refrigerant Charge
If the total refrigerant pipe length (liquid pipe) is smaller than that listed in the table
below, no additional refrigerant will be charged.

3 Working Principles of the Unit
Schematic Diagram of Multi system series Inverter Heat Pump
Fig. 11 Schematic Diagram of Multi system Series Inverter Heat Pump
The outdoor and indoor units start to work once the power is switched on. During
the cooling operation, the low temperature, low pressure refrigerant gas from the heat
exchanger of each indoor unit gets together and then is taken into the compressor to be
compressed into high temperature, high pressure gas, which will soon go to the heat
exchanger of the outdoor unit to exchange heat with the outdoor air and then is turned
into refrigerant liquid. After passing through the throttling device, the temperature and
pressure of the refrigerant liquid will further decrease and then go the main valve. After
that, it will be divided and go to the heat exchanger of each indoor unit to exchange
heat with the air which needs to be conditioned. Consequently, the refrigerant liquid
become low temperature, low pressure refrigerant gas again. Such a refrigeration cycle
goes round and round to achieve the desired cooling purpose. During the heating
operation, the four-way valve is involved to make the refrigeration cycle run reversely.
Page 21
16
The refrigerant radiates heat in the heat exchanger of the indoor unit (so do the electric
heating devices) and absorb heat in the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit for a heat
pump heating cycle so as to achieve the desired heating purpose.
4 Parts and Components of the Unit
System Structure
Fig. 12
For the Multi system air conditioner unit, one outdoor unit is able to drive up to
four or five indoor units which can be cassette type, duct type,
wall-mounted or floor ceiling type. Among them, the cassette type and the
wall-mounted indoor units should be controlled by the remote controller, while the
ducted type can be controlled by either the remote controller or the wired controller. The
outdoor unit will run as long as any one indoor unit receives the running command, and
all indoor units stop once the outdoor unit is turned off.
