PETSITE-12000-BTU-Mini-Split-Air-Conditioner-Pre-Charged-Inverter-Heat-Pump-
System- \(19\)

  • Vacuum Pumping Method (R410A refrigerant evacuation must use the vacuum pumping method) Before working on the air conditioner, remove the cover of the stop valve(gas and liquid valves)and be sure to re-tighten themafterwards. (to prevent the potential air leakage)

PETSITE-12000-BTU-Mini-Split-Air-Conditioner-Pre-Charged-Inverter-Heat-Pump-
System- \(20\)

  1. To prevent air leakage and spilling tighten all connecting nut of all flare tubes.
  2. Connect the stop valve, charge hose, manifold valve, and vacuum pump.
  3. Fully open the handle Lo of the manifold valve and apply vacuum for at least 15 minutes and check that the compound vacuum gauge reads -0.1MPa(-76cmHg).
  4. After applying vacuum, fully open the stop valve with a hex wrench.
  5. Check that both indoor and outdoor connections are free of air leakage.

IMPORTANT: The unit with the quick connectors does not require vacuum pumping.

Outdoor condensation drainage(Heat pump type only)

When the unit is heating, the condensing water and defrosting water can be out reliably through the drain hose.

Installation: Install the outdoor drain elbow in @ 25 hole on the base plate, and joint the drain hose to the elbow, so that the waste water formed in the outdoor unit can be drained out to a proper plate.

Leak test of the refrigerant
Depending on the installation method, the following methods may be used to check for suspect leak, on areas such as the four connections of the outdoor unit and the cores of the cut-off valves and t-valves:

  1. Bubble method: Apply of spray a uniform layer of soap water over the suspected leak spot and observe carefully for bubble.
  2. Instrument method: Checking for leak by pointing the probe of the leak detector according to the instruction to the suspect points of leak.

Test Operation

Test Operation Preparation:

  • Verify that all piping and connection cables are well connected.
  • Confirm that the values at the gas side and the liquid-side are fully open.
  • Connect the power cable to an independent power socket.
  • Install batteries in remote control.

Test Operation Method:

  1. Turn on the power and push the ON/OFF switch button of the remote controller to start the air conditioner.
  2. Select COOL, HEAT (not available on cool-only models), SWING and other operation modes with the remote controller and see if the operation is ok.
