The Refrigerant
To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the system. The used refrigerant is the fluoride R32, which is specially cleaned. The refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. Furthermore, it can leads to explosion under certain conditions. But the flammability of the refrigerant is very low. It can be ignited only by fire. Compared to common refrigerants, R32 is a nonpolluting refrigerant with no harm to the ozonosphere. The influence upon the greenhouse effect is also lower. R32 has got very good thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy efficiency. The units therefore need a less filling.
WARNING
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacture. Should repair be necessary, contact your nearest authorized Service Centre. Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be dangerous. The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources. (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater.) Do not pierce or burn. Appliance shall be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger than X m2. (Please refer to table “a” in section of ” Safety Operation of Inflammable Refrigerant” for Space X.) Appliance filled with flammable gas R32. For repairs, strictly follow manufacturer’s instructions only. Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour. Read specialist’s manual.

Precautions
WARNING
Attachment Installation must be performed by qualified professionals. Otherwise, it may cause personal injury or damage. Must follow the electric safety regulations when installing the unit. According to the local safety regulations, use qualified power supply circuit and circuit break. Do install the circuit break. If not, it may cause malfunction. An all-pole disconnection switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles should be connected in fixed wiring. Including an circuit break with suitable capacity, please note the following table. Air switch should be included magnet buckle and heating buckle function, it can protect the circuit-short and overload. Air Conditioner should be properly grounded. Incorrect grounding may cause electric shock. Don’t use unqualified power cord. Make sure the power supply matches with the requirement of air conditioner. Unstable power supply or incorrect wiring may result in electric shock, fire hazard or malfunction. Please install proper power supply cables before using the air conditioner. Properly connect the live wire, neutral wire and grounding wire of power socket. Be sure to cut off the power supply before proceeding any work related to electricity and safety.

Safety precautions for installing and relocating the unit
To ensure safety, please be mindful of the following precautions.
Warning
When installing or relocating the unit, be sure to keep the refrigerant circuit free from air or substances other than the specified refrigerant. Any presence of air or other foreign substance in the refrigerant circuit will cause system pressure rise or compressor rupture, resulting in injury.
When installing or moving this unit, do not charge the refrigerant which is not comply with that on the nameplate or unqualified refrigerant. Otherwise, it may cause abnormal operation, wrong action, mechanical malfunction or even series safety accident.
When refrigerant needs to be recovered during relocating or repairing the unit, be sure that the unit is running in cooling mode.Then, fully close the valve at high pressure side (liquid valve).About 30-40 seconds later, fully close the valve at low pressure side (gas valve), immediately stop the unit and disconnect power. Please note that the time for refrigerant recovery should not exceed 1 minute. If refrigerant recovery takes too much time, air may be sucked in and cause pressure rise or compressor rupture, resulting in injury.
During refrigerant recovery, make sure that liquid valve and gas valve are fully closed and power is disconnected before detaching the connection pipe. If compressor starts running when stop valve is open and connection pipe is not yet connected, air will be sucked in and cause pressure rise or compressor rupture, resulting in injury.
When installing the unit, make sure that connection pipe is securely connected before the compressor starts running. If compressor starts running when stop valve is open and connection pipe is not yet connected, air will be sucked in and cause pressure rise or compressor rupture, resulting in injury.
Prohibit installing the unit at the place where there may be leaked corrosive gas or flammable gas. If there leaked gas around the unit, it may cause explosion and other accidents.
Do not use extension cords for electrical connections. If the electric wire is not long enough, please contact a local service center authorized and ask for a proper electric wire. Poor connections may lead to electric shock or fire.
Use the specified types of wires for electrical connections between the indoor and outdoor units. Firmly clamp the wires so that their terminals receive no external stresses. Electric wires with insufficient capacity, wrong wire connections and insecure wire terminals may cause electric shock or fire.

Test operation

1. Preparation of test operation

The client approves the air conditioner.

Specify the important notes for air conditioner to the client.

2. Method of test operation

Put through the power, press ON/OFF button on the remote controller to start

operation.

Press MODE button to select AUTO, COOL, DRY, FAN and HEAT to check

whether the operation is normal or not. If the ambient temperature is lower than 16 , the air conditioner can’t

start cooling.

Configuration of connection pipe
1. Standard length of connection pipe 5ma7.5ma8m
2. Min. length of connection pipe For the unit with standard connection pipe of 5m, there is no limitation for the min. length of connection pipe. For the unit with standard connection pipe of 7.5m and 8m, the min. length of connection pipe is 3m.
3. The calculation method of additional refrigerant oil and refrigerant charging amount after prolonging connection pipe After the length of connection pipe is prolonged for 10m at the basis of standard length, you should add 5ml of refrigerant oil for each additional 5m of connection pipe. The calculation method of additional refrigerant charging amount (on the basis of liquid pipe): (1) Additional refrigerant charging amount= prolonged length of liquid pipe × additional refrigerant charging amount per meter (2) Basing on the length of standard pipe, add refrigerant according to the requirement as shown in the table. The additional refrigerant charging amount per meter is different according to the diameter of liquid pipe. See Sheet 2.

Pipe expanding method

Note:

Improper pipe expanding is the main cause of refrigerant leakage. Please expand the pipe according to the following steps:

A: Cut the pipe
the distance of indoor unit and outdoor unit. Cut the required pipe with pipe cutter.

E: Expand the port Expand the port with expander.
