All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Failure to follow these requirements could result in death or serious injury.

Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
R-410A Refrigerant under Higher Pressure than R-22! The units described in this manual use R-410A refrigerant which operates at 50 to 70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only R-410A approved service equipment. Refrigerant cylinders may contain a “dip” tube to allow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the system. For specific handling concerns with R-410A, please contact your local sales office. Failure to use R-410A approved service equipment could result in standard equipment exploding under R-410A higher pressure which could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE Use appropriate oil with R410A systems. Oil type is found at the bottom of Connection Pipe Requirements table (included in the outdoor unit installation manual). R-410A systems utilize POE (Polyolester) or PVE(Polyvinyl Ether) oil. Both oil types absorb moisture readily, yet, lubrication properties vary. Do not leave the sealed system open to atmosphere except during service for a short period of time. If the sealed system is left open longer than four hours, the compressor oil must be changed. These systems utilize strainers placed before and after the expansion device in the outdoor unit, if debris or moisture is suspected, these strainers must be changed. Do not break a vacuum with air. Do not leak check the sealed system with compressed air. Unless instructed by factory service representative, external refrigeration driers are prohibited.
USE ONLY THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE!
Important!
Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) and those containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC’s). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment. The Company advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants, including industry replacements for CFC’s such as HCFC’s and HFC’s.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices
The manufacturer believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.

Refrigeration and Condensate Piping Tips

19 Series Multi-Split

If the outdoor unit is installed lower than the indoor unit: 1. If indoor unit condensate line follows refrigeration lines, then the drain pipe termination should
be above ground in order that the end of the pipe should not dip into water. 2. Taping pipes must be done from bottom to top. Do not wrap too tightly to avoid compression of
the insulation, otherwise its effectiveness is reduced. 3. All pipes are bound together by pipe tape and secured to the wall with saddles. 4. NOTE: Oil traps are sometimes needed when the outdoor unit is installed lower than the
indoor unit. One oil trap is required for each 33 ft. (10m) of vertical gas pipe length.

Outdoor Unit Installed Lower than Indoor Unit
If the outdoor unit is installed higher than the indoor unit: 1. Taping should be done from the lower to
the upper part. Do not wrap too tightly to avoid compression of the insulation, otherwise its effectiveness is reduced. 2. All pipes are bound and taped together and also should be trapped to prevent water from returning to the room. 3. Secure all pipes to the wall with saddles. 4. NOTE: Oil traps are sometimes needed when the outdoor unit is installed higher than the indoor unit. An oil trap is needed for each 20 ft. (6m) of vertical rise on the gas pipe.

· During the connection of the indoor unit and the refrigerant pipe, never pull any joints of the indoor unit by force, otherwise the pipes may crack which would then result in leakage.
· The refrigerant pipe should be supported by brackets, in order to not place stress on the indoor and outdoor unit. If the piping connection size of the outdoor unit does not match the piping connection size of the indoor unit, use the piping connection dimension of the indoor unit. Use the appropriate supplied connector tube to make the transition at the outdoor unit. DO NOT INSTALL TRANSITION TUBES AT THE INDOOR UNIT.
· Each pipe should be labeled to tell which indoor system it belongs to avoid mistaken or inaccurate piping connections.

Installing the Refrigerant Piping
Flaring Process 1. Hold the pipe downward to prevent cuttings from entering the pipe. 2. Using an appropriate tube cutter and deburring tool, cut and deburr the refrigerant pipe. 3. Remove the flare nuts at the stop valve of the outdoor unit and inside the accessory bag of
the indoor unit, put them onto the refrigerant pipe as shown below then flare the refrigerant pipe with a flaring tool. 4. When flaring copper tubing, only use flaring tools that utilize an orbiting mandrel and clutched handle. These are typically referenced as R410A flaring tools. By using this type of flaring tool, the copper tubing is rolled while being pressed, thereby reducing the probability of copper flare cracking. 5. Check if the flare is even length, smooth and the inside is shiny with no imperfections.
Bending Pipes

88-M4THM19-1A-EN

16

19 Series Multi-Split
1. Use a refrigerant pipe bending tool to shape refrigerant piping; smaller diameter piping may allow for light hand bending, providing minimum diameter of 6 inches.
2. Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90°. 3. When pipes are repeatedly bent or stretched, the material will be prone to damage, which may
lead to refrigerant leaks. Do not bend or stretch the pipes more than three times. 4. Do not bend the pipe while insulated. First, cut the insulation with a sharp cutting tool and
expose it to the appropriate bend radius, as shown below. After bending the pipe, replace the insulation and seal it with pipe wrap tape.

Refrigerant Piping at the Indoor Units Reference the Indoor Unit Installation Guide Refrigerant Piping at the Outdoor Unit Tighten the flare nut of the connection pipe at the outdoor unit valve connector. Follow the flare nut guidelines in this manual.

NOTICE 1. To prevent distortion and breaking of the pipe, bend the pipe with a radius of curvature of 6
in. (150 mm) or more. Use a tubing bender when forming the copper tubing into a bend. 2. If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the same place, it will break.
CAUTION Connect the gas pipe after connecting the liquid pipe completely.
Insulating the Refrigerant Piping and Connections 1. The refrigerant pipes should be insulated and wrapped with appropriate insulating
material and wrapping tape. This will prevent condensation, water leakage and damage to the insulating material. 2. The connections at the indoor unit should be wrapped with insulating material. No gap is allowed on the joint of the indoor unit, as shown below.

88-M4THM19-1A-EN

Vacuum and Refrigerant Leakage Detection

19 Series Multi-Split

NOTICE
Do not purge the air with refrigerant. Use a vacuum pump to vacuum the installation!
1. When connecting refrigerant pipe to the unit or removing it from the unit, please use both a back-up wrench and the torque wrench.
2. When connecting, place the equipment specified oil type on the backside of the copper tube flare prior to tightening. Do not place oil on the flare face, as this will promote system contamination, tighten it by hand and then tighten it with the spanner or adjustable wrench.
3. Refer to the torque reference table within this document before tightening to determine the appropriate torque (over-tightening will damage the nut and lead to leakage).
4. Use dry Nitrogen to pressurize the piping circuit with 150 PSIG and allow it to hold while performing other installation processes. It is recommended to apply a soap bubble solution and observe the connection.
5. Evacuate each individual refrigeration circuit to 350 microns or below, and close off the valve to the vacuum pump. If the pressure rises above 500 microns within one minute, but not above 1500 microns within 5 minutes, moisture is present. If the pressure continues to rise above 1500 microns, a leak exists in the circuit being tested. a) If moisture is present, use triple evacuation process to eliminate the moisture. b) If a leak is present, leak check all joints and piping. Evacuation is not completed until the micron gauge does not rise above 500 microns within one minute after achieving 350 micron pressure vacuum.
6. After evacuation is complete, additional charge is to be added. a) If no additional charge is required, break the vacuum with refrigerant, then remove the gauge connectors. b) slightly open the liquid valve at the outdoor unit, allow system to equalize, then fully open the liquid valve and then open the vapor service valve.
7. After leak checking is complete, apply thermal insulation around the flare connections and all exposed refrigeration pipes. a) Seal the insulation b) Inspect the insulation to ensure no breakages are present.

NOTE: The wiring diagrams in this guide are included as a reference. The manufacturer has a policy of continuous product and
product data improvement and reserves the right to change design and specifications without notice. Always check the unit nameplate and wiring diagram for the actual unit requirements.

Wiring Precautions
Electrical Notes:
1. EACH unit should be installed with its own dedicated power supply source. The power source needs to be sized correctly for the unit capacity.
2. The rated voltage of the unit is as shown in this manual. 3. Before turning on, verify that the voltage is within the 187~252 V range (for 208/230 V, single
phase units). 4. Always use a grounded terminal and install a separate receptacle to supply power to the
air conditioner. For high voltage connections, flexible electrical conduit is recommended whenever vibration transmission may create a noise problem within the structure. 5. Use a dedicated breaker and receptacle matched to the capacity of the air conditioner.
Outdoor Wiring Connections 1. Remove the wire clip and connect the power connection wire and signal control wire terminals
according to the color coding. 2. Attach the wires to the terminals and make sure they are securely fastened. Refer to wiring

General Maintenance
Regular checks, maintenance and care should be performed by professional personnel, which will prolong the unit life span.
Outdoor Heat Exchanger
The outdoor heat exchanger should be checked and cleaned once every two months. Use a vacuum cleaner with a nylon brush to clean up dust and debris on the surface of the heat exchanger. Blow away dust by compressed air if available. Never use water to wash the heat exchanger.
Drain Pipe
Regularly check to see if the drain pipe is clogged in order to ensure drain condensate doesn’t overflow and cause water damage.
Check Before Seasonal Use
1. The inlet and outlet of the indoor and outdoor units are not clogged or obstructed. 2. The power and communication cables are securely attached and that there is no visible
damage to any of the electrical wiring. 3. The batteries of the wireless remote controller have been replaced. 4. The filter screen has been cleaned and replaced securely. 5. Apply power to the outdoor unit 8 hours before operating the unit so as to preheat the
compressor. 6. The outdoor and indoor units are installed securely. 7. If there is anything abnormal, please contact the installing dealer or qualified service
technician.
Maintenance After Seasonal Use
1. Cut off the main power supply of the unit. A power disconnect should be located near the outdoor unit.
2. Clean the indoor unit filters. 3. Clean any dust and debris on the indoor and outdoor units.
Parts Replacement
Purchase parts from the installing or servicing center or dealer if necessary.
NOTE: During leakage testing, never mix oxygen, ethyne (acetylene) or other dangerous gases into the refrigeration circuit. Nitrogen should be used for leakage testing.

After-Sales Service
In the event you have problems with the unit or require service, please contact your local installing/servicing dealer.
