Storage and Tips for Using the Remote Controller
The remote controller may be stored mounted on a wall using a suitable holder.
Note: The remote controller holder may be an optional part sold separately.

Operating the Remote Controller Sucessfully and Safely

  • Ensure no objects come between the remote controller and signal receptor of indoor unit. The signal transmission range is 25 ft.
  • Keep the remote at least 3 ft away from televisions and other electrical appliances that emit or accept signals.
  • Always direct the remote controller toward the air conditioner.
  • Don’t leave the remote exposed to sunrays.

Regarding the Airflow of the Indoor Unit
The air that is pulled in by the fan (the “return air”) enters the grille and is passed through the filter. It is then
cooled/dehumidified/heated through the heat exchanger.
The direction of the air output is manipulated up and down by the motorized louver, and left to right via manually controlled vertical deflectors. Some models may come with “dual-swing” capability,
which offers both a horizontal and vertical motorized air flow swing.

Controlling the System’s Airflow

  1. Pressing the SWING buttons activates the louver.
    • Press the Swing button to trigger the horizontal flaps to swing up and down. Press this button again to stop swing movement at the current angle.
    • Press the Swing button to trigger the vertical flaps to swing left and right. Press this button again to stop swing movement at the current angle.

  2. If the vertical deflectors (which are located underneath the flaps) are adjusted manually, they can be used to fix the airflow in a certain vertical position before turning the system on.
    Note: The SWING buttons can also be used to set a fixed angle of airflow by pressing the button once the louver moves to the desired angle.

CAUTION

  • Do not manipulate the louvers themselves manually, or serious damage may occur.
  • Deflector adjustments should be made only when the system is switched off.
  • Never poke fingers, sticks, or other objects into the air inlet/outlet vents.

COOLING Mode
Cooling mode allows the air conditioner to cool the room while also reducing the humidity of the air in the room.
To put the system into cooling mode, press the button until the symbol appears on the remote’s display.
The TEMP – and + buttons can then be used to set a temperature lower than that of the room.
Note: In cooling mode, be sure to avoid keeping the vertical louver at too sharp of a downward angle, which can lead to condensation buildup and dripping.

HEATING Mode
Heating mode allows the air conditioner to heat the room by reversing the cooling cycle. To put the system into heating mode, press the button until the symbol appears on the remote’s display.
The TEMP – and + buttons can then be used to set a temperature higher than that of the room.
Upon enabling heat mode, the indoor unit will take between 2-5 minutes for pre-heating, after which the unit will begin blowing warm air.

It is suggested to run this feature once every 3 months.

An Important Note Regarding Operating Temperatures
The system is designed to run within a certain range of temperatures, which are listed below.
There are built-in protections with the system that may stop the appliance when the ambient temperatures goes outside of these ranges.
Inverter Air Conditioner Operational Conditions

Operating Mode Temperature| COOLING Mode| HEATING Mode| DRYING Mode
---|---|---|---
Current Room Temperature| 70°F – 90°F| 45°F – 81°F| 64°F – 90°F
Ambient Outdoor Temperature| 5°F – 131°F| -22°F – 75°F| 70°F – 131°F

NOTE
After stopping and restarting the air conditioner, or after the mode is changed during operation, the system does not restart immediately, and will come on when three minutes have elapsed (as a protection for the compressor).
Full system-rated capacity and efficiency is obtained at the standard rating conditions as developed by the testing and rating agencies. Deviations from the rating conditions, especially the atmospheric conditions, will be compensated by the variable speed compressor, within certain limitations.
Heat pump systems function by exchanging energy, in the form of heat, between the indoor air and the outdoor ambient air (atmospheric). The system’s net cooling or heating capacities and efficiencies change by atmospheric conditions, as well as the indoor air conditions (such as temperatures and humidity levels).
Capacity of the system required for a specific area or application must be determined professionally using detailed calculations, which are based on several internal and external factors.

To further optimize the performance of your unit, be sure to do the following:

  • Keep doors and windows closed.
  • Limit energy usage by using TIMER ON and TIMER OFF functions.
  • Do not block air inlets or outlets.
  • Regularly inspect and clean air filters.

Maintenance of the Air Conditioner

Periodic Maintenance Is Essential For The System!
Maintaining the air conditioner will ensure that is stays efficient. Before carrying out any sort of maintenance, always ensure that the power supply to the system is turned off.
Indoor Unit
Anti-Dust Filters (Clean once every 2 weeks)

  1. Open the front panel by pulling outward and upward at the indicated location.
  2. Keep the front panel raised with one hand and take out the air filters with the other.
  3. The filters are washable and should be cleaned with warm water (under 113°F).
  4. Leave the filters to dry in a cool, dry place.
  5. Keeping the front panel raised with one hand, insert the air filters with the other.
  6. Close the front panel.

Any electrostatic or deodorizing filters, if installed, are not washable and should be replaced once every 6 months.
Interior of the Indoor Air Handler
In addition to the filters, the interior of the indoor unit itself as well as the inner coil should be inspected every season. The front panel can be disconnected and removed from the top hinge where the pegs connect. This will allow for easier inspection of the interior and behind the air filters. The interior should be cleaned with damp cloth and neutral soaps. Do not use any sort of aggressive solvents or detergents. Only a soft cloth that is lightly damp should be used.
BEFORE CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS TURN OFF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM AND DISCONNECT ITS POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMNG CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE. DO NOT SPRAY WATER DIRECTLY NEAR THE INDOOR UNIT, AS IT CAN DAMAGE INSULATION AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

  • DO obey the following tolerances depicted in the illustration below:

Indoor Unit Installation Instructions

Installation Diagram
Before proceeding, it is important to consider the following height and length restrictions:

Before starting the installation, decide on the position of both the indoor and outdoor units. Take into account the minimum clearance requirements for both the indoor and outdoor units, which can be found in their respective sections of this manual.
Install the indoor unit inside the room to be air conditioned, avoiding corridors and communal areas. Install the indoor unit at a height of at least 8 ft. off of the ground.
NOTE
Only persons and/or companies qualified and experienced in the installation, service, and repair of refrigerant products should be permitted to do so. The purchaser must ensure the system is installed carefully and correctly.
Installation of the Mounting Plate

  1. Place the included mounting plate against the wall where the system will hang that fulfills the constraints on page 22. Use a level to ensure that the plate is horizontally level.
  2. Drill 1.3” deep holes for each screw to enter, the locations are flexible but should be spaced well.
  3. Insert the plastic anchors into each of the holes.
  4. Fix the mounting plate to the wall by using the included tapping screws. Check that it is secured.

Note: The actual appearance of the mounting plate may differ slightly but the process is similar.
Drilling the Wall Hole for Piping
CHECK PAGES 43-44 FOR MOUNTING HOLE GUIDELINES ACCORDING TO THE BRACKET.

  1. With the mounting plate firmly affixed to the wall, mount the indoor unit onto the mounting plate temporarily in order to determine the location of the wall hole in the next steps.
  2. Using a pencil, lightly trace the bottom corner of the indoor unit, depending on which side exit the piping will go through (see Page 26).
  3. Take the inside unit off of the plate, and make a mark of where the hole will be (PG. 43-44), to ensure ample clearance between the tracing and bracket.
  4. Drill a 2.5” wall hole at a slight downward angle using a core drill, being careful to avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive materials. The bottom of the inside hole should be ~1/4” above the bottom of the outside hole.

Electrical Connections – Indoor Unit
All systems will include a wiring diagram affixed to the indoor unit. See Page 44 for more details.

  1. Lift up the front panel of the indoor unit.
  2. Remove the cover as indicated in the illustration.
  3. For the electrical wiring, consult the circuit diagram affixed to the elecrical cover.
  4. Connect the cables to the wiring terminal by following the numbering. Use wire gauge suitable for the electrical power input. (see name plate on the unit).

BEFORE PERFORMING ELECTRICAL WORK, READ THESE REGULATIONS

  1. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes, and must be installed by a licensed electrician.

  2. All electrical connections must be made according to the Electrical Connection Diagram located on the panels of the indoor and outdoor units.

  3. If there is a serious safety issue with the power supply, stop work immediately. Explain your reasoning to the client, and suspend all installation until the safety issue is properly resolved.

  4. Power voltage should be within 90-110% of rated voltage. Insufficient power supply can cause malfunction, electrical shock, or fire.

  5. Connect power through fixed wiring, install a surge protector and a disconnect switch box, and a dedicated circuit breaker with a capacity of 1.5 times the maximum current of the unit.

  6. A properly rated HACR-type fuse or circuit breaker that disconnects all poles and has a contact separation of at least 1/8in (3mm) must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
    The qualified technician must use an approved circuit breaker or fuse.

  7. Only connect the unit to an individual branch circuit. Do not connect another appliance to that outlet. This equipment requires its own dedicated and protected circuit.

  8. Make sure to properly ground the air conditioner.

  9. Every wire must be firmly connected. Loose wiring can cause the terminal to overheat, resulting in product malfunction and possible fire.

  10. Do not let wires touch or rest against refrigerant tubing, the compressor, or any moving parts within the unit.

WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL OR WIRING WORK, TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER TO THE SYSTEM.
Preparing the Refrigerant Piping of the Indoor Unit
The piping “pigtails” pre-attached to the indoor unit can be run in 3 different ways as shown in the illustration. Decide which type of configuration is most suitable before continuing.
By default it is routed for a left side exit as shown in #1. This method can either use the left side knockout for a side exit, or a wall hole can be drilled on the left side of the unit’s rear.
Routing it straight through the back of the system (#2) will facillitate the connections to the copper pipe extensions to be made outside. This is recommended to simplify the process.

3 is a right side exit, but is not recommended as it involves a 180° bend of

the piping, which increases the risk of kinking or collapsing the lines dramatically. Bend slowly and cautiously.
If a side-exit is chosen, there are knock-out panels on either side of the unit that can be cut out along the groove to provide a notch for the pipe to exit from. Use a cutting tool to do this.
For the method chosen, run the piping in the direction of the wall hole. Bind the copper pipes, drain pipe, and power cables together with tape, with the drain pipe at the bottom so that water can flow freely. Ensure that the bundle is exiting at a continuous downward pitch.

CAUTION

  • Do not remove the cap from the pipe until it is time to connect it, to avoid dampness or dirt from entering.
  • If the pipe is bent/pulled too often, it will become stiff. Do not bend the pipe more than three times at one point. Be extremely careful not to kink any piping.
  • When extending the coiled copper pipes, straighten them by unwinding gently, as shown in the picture.

Unwind the coil gently rather than pulling at ends

Connecting the Drain Hose
By default, the drain hose is attached to the left-hand side of unit (”left” when facing the back of the unit). However, it can also be attached to the right-hand side.

  1. To ensure proper drainage, attach the drain hose on the same side that your refrigerant piping exits the unit.
  2. Attach any drain hose extensions (sold separately) to the end of drain hose.
  3. Wrap the connection point firmly with Teflon tape to create a good seal, and to prevent leaks.
  4. For the portion of the drain hose that will remain indoors, wrap it with foam pipe insulation to prevent condensation.
  5. Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into the drain pan to make sure that water flows from the unit smoothly.

NOTE ON DRAIN HOSE PLACEMENT
Make sure to arrange the drain hose according to the illustrations.
DO NOT kink the drain hose.
DO NOT create a water trap (siphon).
**** DO NOT put the end of the drain hose in water or in a container that will collect water.

DUAL DRAIN HOLE LOCATIONS EXIST
The indoor unit has 2 drain connections on left and right sides. Either one can be utilized. One side will have a hose connected, while the other is plugged.

Connecting the Signal Cable
Color selection does not matter as much as matching number to number does. Consult the diagram affixed to the indoor and outdoor unit respectively for specific wiring instructions. There are 3 terminals (1, 2 , 3) and ground (G). Do not mix up the wires between each ends. It is vital that the colors between the indoor and outdoor unit match for each terminal.

Connection Instructions – Refrigerant Piping
Step 1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure efficient operation and minimize the need for future maintenance.

  1. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
  2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer than the measured distance.
  3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle. Refer below for bad cut examples:

DO NOT DEFORM PIPE WHILE CUTTING
Be extra careful not to damage, kink, or deform the pipe while cutting. This will drastically reduce the efficiency and capacity of the unit and may cause internal damage.
Step 2: Remove any burrs carefully.
Burrs can affect the air-tight seal of refrigerant piping connection. They must be completely removed. Follow these steps for proper deburring:

  1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
  2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.

Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.

  1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from entering the pipe.

  2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.

  3. Place flare nuts on both ends of pipe. Make sure they are facing the correct direction, because they cannot be put on or have their direction chaged after flaring.

  4. Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe when ready to perform flaring work.

  5. Clamp flare form on the end of the pipe. The end of the pipe must extend beyond the edge of the flare form in accordance with the dimensions shown in the following table: PIPING EXTENSION BEYOND FLARE FORM
    Outer Diameter of Pipe (mm)| A (mm)
    ---|---
    Min.| Max.
    Ø 6.35 (Ø 1/4”)|   0.7 (0.03”)| 1.3 (0.05”)
    Ø 9.52 (Ø 3/8”)| 1.0 (0.04”)| 1.6 (0.06”)
    Ø 12.7 (Ø 1/2”)| 1.0 (0.04”)| 1.8 (0.07”)
    Ø 16    (Ø 5/8”)| 2.0 (0.08”)| 2.2 (0.09”)
    Ø 19    (Ø 3/4”)| 2.0 (0.08”)| 2.4 (0.1”)

  6. Place flaring tool onto the form.

  7. Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise until the pipe is fully flared.

  8. Remove the flaring tool and flare form, then inspect the end of the pipe for cracks and successful, even flaring.

Step 4: Connect pipes
When connecting refrigerant pipes, be careful not to use excessive torque, or to deform the piping in any way. One should first connect the low-pressure pipe, then the high-pressure pipe.
If provided by the supplier, apply leak guard material on all flared mating surfaces.

Instructions for Connecting Piping to Outdoor Unit

  1. Unscrew the cover from the packed valve on the side of the outdoor unit.

  2. Remove protective caps from the valve ends.

  3. Align flared pipe end with each valve, and tighten the flare nut as tightly as possible by hand.

  4. Using a spanner, grab the body of the valve. Do not grab the nut that seals the service valve.
    USE SPANNER TO GRAB THE BODY OF THE SERVICE VALVE
    Torque from tightening the flare nut can snap off other parts of valve.

  5. While firmly gripping the body of the valve, use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut according to the correct torque values.

  6. Loosen the flaring nut slightly, then tighten again.

  7. Repeat Steps 3 to 6 for the remaining pipe.

MINIMUM BEND RADIUS
When bending connective refrigerant piping, the minimum bending radius is 10 cm (4”).

DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE TORQUE
Excessive force can break the nut or damage the refrigerant piping. You must not exceed the torque requirements shown in the table shown on page 29.

Air Evacuation and Bleeding the Circuit
The air and/or humidity left inside the refrigeration circuit can contaminate the refrigerant and cause abnormal spikes in pressure, leading to eventual compressor malfunction.
herefore, after having connected the indoor and outdoor units to create a closed system, it is necessary to bleed the air and humidity out of the circuit through the use of a vacuum pump.
Evacuation should be performed upon initial installation or when the unit is relocated.
BEFORE PERFORMING EVACUATION
Check to make sure that both high-pressure and low-pressure pipes between the indoor and outdoor units are connected properly in accordance with the “Refrigerant Piping Connection” section of this manual.
Check to make sure all wiring is connected properly.

Evacuation Instructions
Before using a vacuum pump and manifold gauge, read their operation manuals to become familiarized with using them properly.

  1. Unscrew and remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves.
  2. Unscrew and remove the cap from the service port.
  3. Connect the blue (low) hose of the manifold gauge to service port on the outdoor unit’s 3-way valve (use an adapter if needed). Ensure that the pin fully engages the schrader valve.
  4. Connect the yellow (middle) hose from the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump.
  5. Open the low pressure knob of the manifold gauge. Keep the high pressure knob closed.
  6. Turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate the system.
  7. Run the vacuum for at least 15 minutes, or until the Compound Meter reads -76cmHG (-100 kPa or -30 inHg).
  8. Close the low pressure knob of the manifold gauge, and turn off the vacuum pump.
  9. Wait for 5 minutes, then verify that there has been no rise in the vacuum reading.
  10. If there is a rise in the system vacuum, refer to “Gas Leak Check” section for information on how to check for leaks. If no change in vacuum reading, unscrew the cap from the service valve (high pressure valve).
  11. Insert a hexagonal wrench into the service valve (2-way valve) and open the valve by turning the wrench in a 1/4 counterclockwise turn. Wait and listen for gas to exit the system, then close the valve after 5 seconds.
  12. Watch the pressure gauge for a few minutes to make sure that there is no drop in pressure. The Pressure Gauge should now show higher than the atmospheric pressure and hold that value.
  13. Remove the charge hose from the service port.
  14. Using the hexagonal wrench, fully open both the high pressure and low pressure valves fully counterclockwise.
  15. Tighten valve caps on all three valves (service port, high pressure, low pressure) by hand. Tighten further using a torque wrench if needed.

OPEN VALVE STEMS GENTLY
When opening valve stems, turn the hexagonal wrench until it comes into contact with stopper. Do not try to force the valve to open further.

Electrical/Gas Leak Check and Test Run

ELECTRICAL SAFETY CHECKS
After installation, confirm that all electrical wiring is installed in accordance with local and national regulations, and according to the Installation Manual.
