Lifting The Unit
The unit lifting procedure provided, adhere to WH&S regulations for safe and secure lifting practices in order to prevent physical injury.
Suggested lifting procedures are outlined as a reference guide to safely lift and transport the unit, however, this does not over rule the industry WH&S practices.

Location
This unit is intended for indoor installation only. It is highly recommended that this indoor unit and accessories, particularly zone barrels, be mounted in the roof cavity.
Mount the unit in a stable and rigid support wherein the weight is properly distributed, such as roof joist and rafters. Take into consideration the minimum service access clearances provided in the unit drawings.
Locate the indoor unit away from the areas where noise is a critical factor. Use rubber mounting pad (not supplied) in order to minimize the transfer of noise and vibration into building structures.
A hanging bracket assembly and rubber grommet are also available to secure the indoor unit into the roof rafters. This installation configuration is most suitable for installation that require the unit to be rigidly secured up from the roof joist.

Condensate and Safety Tray Drainage
An integrated safety drain tray is provided as a standard inclusion to your indoor unit in order to reduce the potential of condensate damage to the roof. Drain Kit (not included on some units) is provided for the condensate drain to be externally trapped from the indoor unit. Suggested condensate and safety tray drainage instructions are provided at the proceeding page for your reference.

Supply Air and Return Air Duct
The indoor unit is supplied with duct flange as standard in order to facilitate the system’s duct connection into the unit. Supply and return air duct works must be adequately sized to meet the system’s air flow and static pressure requirements. Refer to the unit drawing for supply air and return air duct dimensions, specific to your requirement.

NOTE
Fit a flexible duct connection in between the unit and the duct system, where noise and vibration is a critical consideration.

Return Air Filter
Air filters must be provided in the return air side of the unit to maintain the efficiency and prolong the operation of the unit. These are also paramount to satisfy requirement for a clean and hygienic room condition. Return Air filters must be placed in an easily accessible location for service and maintenance.

NOTE

• Return Air filters are not supplied with the unit as individual air filtration requirements vary.
• Ensure that filters are cleaned / replaced regularly.

Fan Coil With Vertical Discharge (Optional)
An upright Fan Coil with vertical supply air discharge is also available wherein installation applications require the placement of the unit down in a closet, basement or garage. Please refer to the Technical Catalogue of your indoor unit for dimensions, installation details and specifications.

Field Pipe Connections
Specifications and installation requirements for field pipe connections are contained in the Installation and Commissioning Guide of the outdoor unit that matches your indoor unit. Please refer to this guide and thoroughly understand the procedures for safe and correct indoor and outdoor connection.

Field Electrical Connection
The power supply and control communication data to the indoor unit are supplied via the outdoor unit. Please refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the outdoor unit for specifications.
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and must conform with the wiring diagram and all relevant electrical authorities.

NOTE
This indoor unit is designed to match only with an ActronAir Series outdoor unit as specified in the Technical Selection Catalogue.

Standard Indoor Fan Commissioning

Models: SCA300C/SCA300E SCA330C/SCA330E SCA340C/SCA340E

NOTE

• Commissioning of indoor fan should be carried out by a qualified/licensed installer or service technician.
• Make sure that all instructions are followed accordingly.
• Ensure that connecting duct work and air filters are properly installed.

Fan Adjustment Procedure:

1. By default, the factory setting for the standard indoor fan is 2-Speed as shown in the diagram and table below:
   As an example, SCA300C / SCA300E condenser CPU Board and Indoor Fan connections are shown.

2. An option to choose a 1-Speed Setting is available for the End User/Customer. This can be done by setting the DIP switch to SINGLE SPEED INDOOR FAN , as shown below. The factory default setting is shown on the following table:
   NOTE
   When the Indoor Fan DIP switch setting on the Condenser CPU Board is set to SINGLE SPEED INDOOR FAN , the Indoor Fan output on the Condenser CPU Board is always from the HIGH terminal output.

3. An option is also available for the End User/Customer to choose any speed by re-wiring the Indoor Fan. For example: SCA300C/SCA300E 2-Speed setting is changed from Medium and Low to High and Medium, is shown below:

4. Optional Manual Inputs are another control option available to run the units, which can be done by setting the DIP switch to MANUAL INPUTS , as shown below.
   As an example, SCA300C / SCA300E condenser CPU Board and Indoor Fan connections are shown. The factory default settings are as shown in the table below:
   NOTE
   When the Indoor Fan DIP switch setting on the Condenser CPU Board is set to MANUAL INPUTS , the Indoor Fan speed will only be a SINGLE SPEED INDOOR FAN . And the Indoor Fan output on Condenser CPU Board will always be from the HIGH terminal output.

5. The End User/Customer has also an option to change the Indoor Fan speed for the Optional Manual Inputs by re-wiring the Indoor Fan. Refer to Step 3.

EC Indoor Fan Commissioning

Models: SCA260C/SCG260E SCA290C/SCG290E SCA400C/SCG400E
