Table 5.3 The relations between H, A and L are as follows.
Drain Joint Installation
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. 5.12 – A ), do the following:
- Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will connect to the outdoor unit.
- Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit.
- Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place facing the front of the unit.
- Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to redirect water from the unit during heating mode.
If the drain joint doesn’t come with a rubber seal (see Fig. 5.12 – B ), do the following:
- Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit. The drain joint will click in place.
- Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to redirect water from the unit during heating mode.
NOTE: Make sure the water drains to a safe location where it will not cause water damage or a slipping hazard.
Notes On Drilling Hole In Wall
You must drill a hole in the wall for the refrigerant piping, and the signal
cable that will connect the indoor and outdoor units.
-
Determine the location of the wall hole based on the location of the outdoor unit.
-
Using a 65-mm (2.5”) core drill, drill a hole in the wall.
NOTE: When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive components. -
Place the protective wall cuff in the hole.
This protects the edges of the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation process.
Drainpipe Installation
The drainpipe is used to drain water from the unit. Improper installation may cause unit and property damage.
CAUTION
- Insulate all piping to prevent condensation, which could lead to water damage.
- If the drainpipe is bent or installed incorrectly, water may leak and cause a malfunction of the water- level switch.
- In HEAT mode, the outdoor unit will discharge water. Ensure that the drain hose is placed in an appropriate area to avoid water damage and slippage due to frozen drain water.
- DO NOT pull the drainpipe forcefully as this could cause it to disconnect.
NOTE ON PURCHASING PIPES
This installation requires a polyethylene tube (outside diameter = 3.7-3.9cm,
inside diameter = 3.2cm), which can be obtained at your local hardware store
or from your dealer.
Indoor Drainpipe Installation
Install the drainpipe as shown in Figure 6.2.
- Cover the drainpipe with heat insulation to prevent condensation and leakage.
- Attach the mouth of the drain hose to the unit’s outlet pipe. Sheath the mouth of the hose and clip it firmly with a pipe clasp. (Fig 6.1) NOTE ON DRAINPIPE INSTALLATION
- When using an extended drainpipe, tighten the indoor connection with an additional protection tube to prevent it from pulling loose.
- The drainpipe should slope downward at a gradient of at least 1/100 to prevent water from flowing back into the air conditioner.
- To prevent the pipe from sagging, space hanging wires every 1-1.5m (40-59”).
- If the outlet of the drainpipe is higher than the body’s pump joint, provide a lift pipe for the exhaust outlet of the indoor unit. The lift pipe must be installed no higher than 75cm (29.5”) from the ceiling board and the distance between the unit and the lift pipe must be less than 30cm (11.8”). Incorrect installation could cause water to flow back into the unit and flood.
- To prevent air bubbles, keep the drain hose level or slightly tilted up (<75mm / 3”). NOTE: When connecting multiple drainpipes, install the pipes as shown in Fig 6.4.
- Using a 65-mm (2.5”) core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slight downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole is lower than the indoor end by about 12mm (0.5”). This will ensure proper water drainage (See Fig. 6.5). Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges of the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation process. NOTE: When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive components.
- Pass the drain hose through the wall hole. Make sure the water drains to a safe location where it will not cause water damage or a slipping hazard.
NOTE: The drainpipe outlet should be at least 5cm (1.9”) above the ground. If it touches the ground, the unit may become blocked and malfunction. If you discharge the water directly into a sewer, make sure that the drain has a U or S pipe to catch odors that might otherwise come back into the house.
Refrigerant Piping Connection
Safety Precautions
WARNING
- All field piping must be completed by a licensed technician and must comply with the local and national regulations. When the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to prevent the refrigerant concentration in the room from exceeding the safety limit in the event of refrigerant leakage. If the refrigerant leaks and its concentration exceeds its proper limit, hazards due to lack of oxygen may result.
- When installing the refrigeration system, ensure that air, dust, moisture or foreign substances do not enter the refrigerant circuit. Contamination in the system may cause poor operating capacity, high pressure in the refrigeration cycle, explosion or injury.
- Ventilate the area immediately if there is refrigerant leakage during the installation. Leaked refrigerant gas is both toxic and flammable. Ensure there is no refrigerant leakage after completing the installation work.
Notes On Pipe Length and Elevation
Ensure that the length of the refrigerant pipe, the number of bends, and the drop height between the indoor and outdoor units meets the requirements shown in your outdoor IOM.
CAUTION
Mark the data plate with the Orifice installed(for some models).
- Please purchase the fittings according to the requirements in the manual strictly.
- Refer to the diagram when installing.
CAUTION
-
Oil traps
If the indoor unit is installed higher than the outdoor unit:- If oil flows back into the outdoor unit’s compressor, this might cause liquid compression or deterioration of oil return. Oil traps in the rising gas piping can prevent this.
An oil trap should be installed every 10m (32.8ft) of vertical suction line riser. (See Fig. 7.2)
- If oil flows back into the outdoor unit’s compressor, this might cause liquid compression or deterioration of oil return. Oil traps in the rising gas piping can prevent this.
The indoor unit is installed higher than the outdoor unit
CAUTION
If the outdoor unit is installed higher than the indoor unit:
- It is recommended that vertical suction risers not be upsized. Proper oil return to the compressor should be maintained with suction gas velocity. If velocities drop below7.62m/s
(1500fpm (feet per minute)), oil return will be decreased. An oil trap should be installed every 6m(20ft) of vertical suction line riser. (See Fig. 7.3) The outdoor unit is installed higher than the indoor unit

Refrigerant Piping Connection Instructions
CAUTION
- The branching pipe must be installed horizontally. An angle of more than 10° may cause malfunction.
- DO NOT install the connecting pipe until both indoor and outdoor units have been installed.
- Insulate both the gas and liquid piping to prevent water leakage.
Step1: 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.
- Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
- Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer than the measured distance.
CAUTION
DO NOT deform pipe while cutting. Be extra careful not to damage, dent, or deform the pipe while cutting. This will drastically reduce the heating efficiency of the unit.
- Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle. Refer to Fig. 7.4 for examples of bad cuts
Step 2: Remove burrs.
Burrs can affect the air-tight seal of refrigerant piping connection. They
must be completely removed.
- Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
- 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.
- After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from entering the pipe.
- Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
- Place flare nuts on both ends of pipe. Make sure they are facing in the right direction, because you can’t put them on or change their direction after flaring. See Fig. 7.6
- Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe when ready to perform flaring work.
- Clamp flare form on the end of the pipe. The end of the pipe must extend beyond the flare form.
- Place flaring tool onto the form.
- Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise until the pipe is fully flared. Flare the pipe in accordance with the dimensions shown in table 7.3.

Remove the flaring tool and flare form, then inspect the end of the pipe for cracks and even flaring.
Step 4: Connect pipes
Connect the copper pipes to the indoor unit first, then connect it to the
outdoor unit. You should first connect the low-pressure pipe, then the high-
pressure pipe.
-
When connecting the flare nuts, apply a thin coat of refrigeration oil to the flared ends of the pipes.
-
Align the center of the two pipes that you will connect.
-
Tighten the flare nut as tightly as possible by hand.
-
Using a spanner, grip the nut on the unit tubing.
-
While firmly gripping the nut, use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut according to the torque values in table 7.3.
NOTE: Use both a spanner and a torque wrench when connecting or disconnecting pipes to/from the unit. CAUTION- Wrap insulation around the piping. Direct contact with the bare piping may result in burns or frostbite.
- Make sure the pipe is properly connected. Over tightening may damage the bell mouth and under tightening may lead to leakage.
NOTE ON MINIMUM BEND RADIUS
Carefully bend the tubing in the middle according to the diagram below. DO NOT bend the tubing more than 90° or more than 3 times.
-
After connecting the copper pipes to the indoor unit, wrap the power cable, signal cable and the piping together with binding tape.
NOTE: DO NOT intertwine signal cable with other wires. While bundling these items together, do not intertwine or cross the signal cable with any other wiring. -
Thread this pipeline through the wall and connect it to the outdoor unit.
-
Insulate all the piping, including the valves of the outdoor unit.
-
Open the stop valves of the outdoor unit to start the flow of the refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor unit.
CAUTION
Check to make sure there is no refrigerant leak after completing the installation work. If there is a refrigerant leak, ventilate the area immediately and evacuate the system (refer to the Air Evacuation section of this manual).

Air Evacuation
Safety Precautions
CAUTION
- Use a vacuum pump with a gauge reading lower than -0.1MPa and an air discharge capacity above 40L/min.
- The outdoor unit does not need vacuuming. DO NOT open the outdoor unit’s gas and liquid stop valves.
- Ensure that the Compound Meter reads – 0.1MPa or below after 2 hours. If after three hours of operation and the gauge reading is still above -0.1MPa, check if there is a gas leak or water inside the pipe. If there is no leakage, perform another evacuation for 1 or 2 hours.
- DO NOT use refrigerant gas to evacuate the system.
Evacuation Instructions
Before using manifold gauge and vacuum pump, read their operation manuals to familiarize yourself with how to use them properly.
-
Connect the charge hose of the manifold gauge to service port on the outdoor unit’s low pressure valve.
-
Connect another charge hose from the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump.
-
Open the Low Pressure side of the manifold gauge.Keep the High Pressure side closed.
-
Turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate the system.
-
Run the vacuum for at least 15 minutes, or until the Compound Meter reads -76cmHG (-1x105Pa).
-
Close the Low Pressure side of the manifold gauge, and turn off the vacuum pump.
-
Wait for 5 minutes, then check that there has been no change in system pressure.
NOTE: If there is no change in system pressure, unscrew the cap from the packed valve (high pressure valve). If there is a change in system pressure, there may be a gas leak. -
Insert hexagonal wrench into the packed valve (high pressure valve) and open the valve by turning the wrench in a 1/4 counterclockwise turn. Listen for gas to exit the system, then close the valve after 5 seconds.
-
Watch the Pressure Gauge for one minute to make sure that there is no change in pressure. The Pressure Gauge should read slightly higher than atmospheric pressure.
-
Remove the charge hose from the service port.
-
Using hexagonal wrench, fully open both the high pressure and low pressure valves.
OPEN VALVE STEMS GENTLY W
hen opening valve stems, turn the hexagonal wrench until it hits against the stopper. DO NOT try to force the valve to open further. -
Tighten valve caps by hand, then tighten it using the proper tool.
Note On Adding Refrigerant
CAUTION
- Refrigerant charging must be performed after wiring, vacuuming and the leak test.
- DO NOT exceed the maximum allowable quantity of refrigerant or overcharge the system. Doing so can damage or impact the unit’s function.
- Charging with unsuitable substances may cause explosions or accidents. Ensure that the appropriate refrigerant is used.
- Refrigerant containers must be opened slowly. Always use protective gear when charging the system.
- DO NOT mix refrigerants types.
Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The
standard pipe length varies according to local regulations. For example, in
North America, the standard pipe length is 7.5m (25’) In other areas, the
standard pipe length is 5m (16‘). The additional refrigerant to be charged can
be calculated using the following formula:
Liquid Side Diameter
| φ6.35(1/4”)| φ9.52(3/8”)| φ12.7(1/2”)
---|---|---|---
R410A:
(orifice tube in the outdoor unit):
| (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x15g(0.16oZ)/m(ft)| (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x30g(0.32oZ)/m(ft)| (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x65g(0.69oZ)/m(ft)
Panel Installation
CAUTION
DO NOT place the panel facedown on the floor, against a wall, or on uneven
surfaces.
Step 1: Remove the front grille.
- Push both of the tabs towards the middle simultaneously to unlock the hook on the grille.
- Hold the grille at a 45° angle, lift it up slightly and detach it from the main body.
Step 2: Remove the installation covers at the four corners by sliding them outwards.
Step 3: Install the panel
Align the front panel to the main body, taking into account the position of
the piping and drain sides. Hang the four latches of the decorative panel to
the hooks of the indoor unit. Tighten the panel hook screws evenly at the four
corners. (See Fig 10.3)
NOTE: Tighten the screws until the thickness of the sponge between the
main body and the panel reduces to 4-6mm (0.2-0.3”). The edge of the panel
should be in contact with the ceiling well.
Adjust the panel by turning it to the arrowed direction shown in Fig 10.3 so that the ceiling opening is completely covered.
