BEFORE INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• Don’t install or operate the unit in the rooms mentioned below.
  ① Where mineral oil, like cutting oil is present.
  ② Where the air contains high levels of salt such as air near the ocean.
  ③ Where sulfurous gas is present such as that in areas of hot spring.
  ④ In vehicles or vessels.
  ⑤ Where voltage fluctuates a lot such as that in factories.
  ⑥ Where the high concentrations of vapor spray is present.
  ⑦ Where machines generating electromagnetic waves are present.
  ⑧ Where acidic or alkaline vapor is present.
  ⑨ The option boxes must be installed with entrances downward.

• Check the mentioned below, when you apply the AHU (Field supply).
  ① If the AHU (Field supply) provided in the field is exclusively for heating, you must not change the operating mode to cooling on the remote controller. If not, it can cause electric shock, injury, or death. If you want to operate in cooling mode, AHU (Field supply) must comply with the following details. (Following)
  – The insulation level of the AHU (Field supply) motor must be ‘F’ or above, and the protection level must satisfy ‘IP 54’.
  – AHU (Field supply) must have the drain pan installed.
  ② Fan speed button on the wired remote controller is not operated.
  ③ For refrigerant piping of the outdoor unit, refer to the installation manual supplied with the outdoor unit.
  ④ For installation of the wired remote controller, refer to the manual supplied with the wired remote controller.
  ⑤ For protecting the refrigerant cycle in heating, the inlet Air temperature to the Heat Exchanger has to be over 5 °C.
  ⑥ The EEV or TXV kit has to be installed on the AHU as close as possible to the Heat Exchanger.
  • AHU Communication Kit
  ① Thermistor cable and remote controller wire should be located at least 50 mm away from power supply wires and from wires to the controller. Not following this guideline may result in malfunction due to electrical noise.
  ② Use only specified wires, and tightly connect wires to the terminals. Keep wiring in neat order so that it does not obstruct other equipment. Incomplete connections could result in overheating and in the worse cases electric shock or fire.

• AHU Operation range
  – When installing the Room thermistor, always place it to the inlet of the Heat Exchanger. Otherwise, it may not operate properly.
  – Range of the inlet Air temperature to the Heat Exchanger is 18 ~ 40 °C for cooling & 5 ~ 30 °C for heating. If the temperature is under 18 °C for cooling & over 30 °C for heating, the system might operate ON and OFF because of the protection logic systems.

total capacity of 100 % Fresh Air Intake AHU should be
50~100 % of the outdoor unit.

COMMUNICATION KIT INSTALLATION

Mechanical installation

1. Open the door using the key.
   

2. Drill 4 holes in the correct position and fix the Comm. Kit box securely with 4 screws (Field supply) through the holes Ø 9 mm(11/32 inch) [Reference the length of the holes Ø 9(11/32)]

Electrical Work

Connection of the wires

1. For connection to the outdoor unit and to the controller (Field supply) :
   Pull the wires inside through the cable gland and close the nut firmly in order to ensure a good pull relief and water protection.

2. The wires require an additional pull-relief. Strap the wire with the support tie wrap.
   

3. For the wired remote controller wire and outdoor unit communication wire, remove the coating at the end of the wire to connect and use the Pin type (JOBN153) to connect to the terminal block.

CAUTION

• All field-supplied parts and materials and electric works must conform to local codes.
• Use copper wire only.
• All wiring must be performed by an authorized electrician.
• The main switch or other means for disconnection, having a contact separation in all poles, must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance to relevant local and national legislation.
• Refer to the installation manual attached to the outdoor unit for the size of the power supply electric wire connected to the outdoor unit, the capacity of the circuit breaker and switch, wiring, and wiring instructions.

THERMISTORS INSTALLATION

Pipe thermistors Installation
Location of the pipe thermistors
A correct installation of the thermistors is required to ensure a good operation :

1. Pipe_In
   : Install the thermistor behind the distributor on the coldest pass the heat exchanger (contact your heat exchanger dealer).

2.  Pipe_Out
   : Install the thermistor at the outlet of the heat exchanger as close as possible to the heat exchanger.

The evaluation must be done to check if the evaporator is protected against freeze-up.
Execute test operation and check for freeze-up.

1. Pipe_In(Suction pipe)
2. Pipe_Out(Discharge pipe)

Installation of the pipe thermistor cable

1. Put the thermistor cable in a separate protective tube.
2. Always add a pull-relief to the thermistor cable to avoid strain on the thermistor cable and loosening of the thermistor. The strain on the thermistor cable or loosening of the thermistor may result in bad contact and incorrect temperature measurement.

Fixation of the pipe thermistors (Fieldwork)

1. Fix the thermistor with insulating aluminum tape (Field supply) in order to ensure a good heat transfer.
2. Put the supplied piece of rubber around the thermistor in order to avoid loosening of the thermistor after some years.
3. Fasten the thermistor with 2 tie wraps (Field Supply)
4. Insulate the thermistor with an insulation sheet (Over 5t, Field Supply)

INSTRUCTION

• Put the thermistor wire slightly above to avoid water accumulation down of the thermistor.

• For sensing the evaporator’s temp. in the thermistor, Put the upper part of the thermistors on the evaporator, this is the most sensitive point of the thermistor.

1. Most sensitive point of the thermistor
2. Maximize the contact
