• information on servicing

  1. Checking the area
     Before starting work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary so as to ensure the risk of ignition is minimized. When repairing the refrigeration system, the following precautions must be taken before starting work on the system.

  2. Work procedure
     Work must follow a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being present while work is in progress.

  3. General work area
     All maintenance staff and others working in the vicinity of the appliance must be instructed on the nature of the work being carried out. Work in confined spaces must be avoided. The area around the workspace must be cordoned off. Ensure that conditions within the area have been made safe by checking for flammable material.

  4. Checking for the presence of refrigerant
     The area must be checked using an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work so as to ensure the technician is aware of any potentially flammable atmosphere. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

  5. Fire extinguishers
     If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment must be available. Keep a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

  6. No ignition sources
     Anyone doing work on a refrigeration system that involves exposing any pipework that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant must not use any sources of ignition in such a manner that there is a potential risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the installation site and during repair work, removal, and disposal as flammable refrigerant may be released into the surrounding atmosphere during such operations. Before work takes place, the area around the equipment must be surveyed to make sure there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. No Smoking signs must be displayed.

  7. Ventilated area
     Ensure that the area is in the open or ventilated adequately before opening the system or conducting any hot work. Some ventilation must be provided while work is in progress.
     The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and, ideally, expel it into the atmosphere outdoors.

  8. Checking the refrigeration equipment
     Electrical components that are being replaced must be fit for purpose and to the correct specification. The manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines must be followed at all times. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. The following checks must be carried out for installations using flammable refrigerants:
     The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the parts containing refrigerant are installed;
     The ventilation system and vents are operating adequately and are not obstructed; If an indirect refrigeration circuit is being used, the secondary circuit must be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
     The labeling of the equipment is still visible and legible. Labels and signs that are illegible must be replaced; Refrigeration pipes or components are installed in a location where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance that may corrode components containing refrigerant unless such components are made from materials that are inherently resistant to corrosion or suitably protected against corrosion.

  9. Checking electrical devices
     Repair and maintenance of electrical components must include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If there is a fault that could compromise the safety, no power supply is to must be connected to the circuit until the matter has been rectified. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but the continuing operation is necessary, an adequate temporary solution must be employed. This must be reported to the owner of the equipment so that all parties are advised. Initial safety checks must include: Discharge of capacitors: this must be done safely manner to prevent sparking; Ensuring that no live electrical components or wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system; That there is continuity of earth bonding.

• Repairs to sealed components

  1. When repairing sealed components, all power supplies must be disconnected from the equipment being worked on prior to removal of any sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to maintain a power supply to equipment during servicing, a permanently operating form of leak detection must be located at the most critical point so as to provide prior warning of any potentially hazardous situation.
  2. Particular attention must be paid to the following so as to ensure that working on electrical components does not result in alteration of the casing in such a way that the level of protection is affected. This must include damage to cables, excessive numbers of connections, terminals not made to the original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.
     Ensure that the apparatus is mounted securely. Ensure that seals or sealants have not degraded such that they no longer prevent the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
     NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.

• Repairing intrinsically safe components
  Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus must be at the correct rating. Components must only be replaced with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of leaked refrigerant in the atmosphere.

• Cabling
  Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental impact. The check must also take into account the effects of ageing or constant vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

• Detection of flammable refrigerants
  Under no circumstances should potential sources of ignition be used when searching for or detecting refrigerant leaks. Halide torches (or any other detectors that use naked flames) must not be used.

• Leak detection methods
  The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but their sensitivity may be inadequate or they may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment must be calibrated a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment must be set at a percentage
  of the LFL of the refrigerant and must be calibrated to the refrigerant used, and the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum) must be confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants, but detergents containing chlorine must be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipework. All naked flames must be removed/extinguished if a leak is suspected. If a refrigerant leak is found that requires brazing, all the refrigerant must be recovered from the system or isolated (by means of shut-off valves) in a part of the system not affected by the leak. Oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN) must then be passed through the system both before and during the brazing process.

• Removal and evacuation
  Conventional procedures must be used when accessing the refrigerant circuit for repairs or any other purpose. However, it is important to ensure that best practice is followed as flammability must be considered. The following procedure must be adhered to: Remove the refrigerant; Purge the circuit with inert gas; Evacuate the circuit; Purge again with inert gas; Open the circuit by means of cutting or brazing.
  The refrigerant charge must be recovered to the correct recovery cylinders. The system must be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen must not be used for this task. Flushing must take place by breaking the vacuum in the system using OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to the atmosphere, and finally reducing the pressure to vacuum pressure. This process must be repeated until there is no refrigerant left in the system. When the final OFN charge is used, the system must be vented to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations are to take place on the pipework.
  Ensure that the socket for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and that ventilation is available.

• Charging procedures
  Besides conventional charging procedures, the following requirements must be met. Ensure that there is no contamination of different refrigerants when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines must be as short as possible so as to minimize the amount of refrigerant inside them. Cylinders must be kept upright. Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant. Label the system when charging is complete (unless it is already labelled). Extreme care must be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
  The system must be pressure-tested using OFN prior to recharging. The system must be tested for leaks on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow-up leak test must be carried out prior to leaving the site.

• Decommissioning
  Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential for the technician to be completely familiar with the equipment and all its details. Ensuring that all refrigerants are recovered safely is recommended good practice. Prior to the task being carried out, oil and refrigerant samples must be taken in case analysis is required prior to reuse of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential to ensure that electricity is available before starting the task.
  a) Familiarise yourself with the equipment and its operation.
  b) Isolate the system electrically.
  c) Before attempting the procedure, ensure that:
  Mechanical equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders; All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly; The recovery process is supervised by a competent person at all times; Recovery equipment and cylinders are compliant with the appropriate standards.
  d) Pump down the refrigerant system, if possible.
  e) If a vacuum is not possible, create a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
  f) Make sure the cylinder is placed on the scales before recovery takes place.
  g) Start the recovery machine and operate it in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
  h) Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80% liquid charge by volume).
  i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
  j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and equipment are removed from the site promptly and that all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
  k) Recovered refrigerant must not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

• Labelling
  Equipment must be labelled, stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label must be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating that the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

• Recovery
  When removing refrigerant from a system for either servicing or decommissioning, ensuring that all refrigerants are removed safely is recommended good practice.
  When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are used. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders is available for holding the total system charge. All cylinders to be used must be designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders must be complete with pressure relief valves and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
  The recovery equipment must be in good working order, with instructions relating to the equipment being used, and it must be suitable for recovery of flammable refrigerants. A set of calibrated weighing scales must also be available and in good working order. Hoses must come complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and be in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order and has been maintained properly, and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of refrigerant release. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer.
  The recovered refrigerant must be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note must be arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units, and particularly not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level so as to ensure that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process must be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the supplier. Only electric heating to the compressor body is to be used in order to accelerate this process. Oil must be drained from systems safely.

NOTE ABOUT FLUORINATED GASES

• Fluorinated greenhouse gases are contained in hermetically sealed equipment. For specific information on the type, quantity and CO2 equivalent in tonnes of fluorinated greenhouse gas (on some models), please refer to the relevant label on the unit itself.
• Installation, servicing, maintenance and repair of this unit must be performed by a certified technician.
• The product must be removed and recycled by a certified technician.

HOW TO USE BASIC FUNCTIONS

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
The operating temperature range for units is 17-30 °C (62 °F-86 °F). You can increase or decrease the set temperature in 1 °C (1 °F) increments.

AUTO operation
In AUTO mode, the unit will automatically select COOL, FAN or DRY mode based on the set temperature.

1. Press the MODE button to select AUTO mode.
2. Set your preferred temperature using the Temp or Temp button.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to start the unit.
   NOTE: FAN SPEED cannot be set in AUTO mode.

COOL operation

1. Press the MODE button to select COOL mode.
2. Set your preferred temperature using the Temp or Temp button.
3. Press the FAN button to select the fan speed: AUTO, LOW, MED or HIGH.
4. Press the ON/OFF button to start the unit.

DRY operation (dehumidifying)

1. Press the MODE button to select DRY mode.
2. Set your preferred temperature using the Temp or Temp button.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to start the unit.

FAN operation

1. Press the MODE button to select FAN mode.
2. Press the FAN button to select the fan speed: AUTO, LOW, MED, or HIGH.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to start the unit.
   NOTE: The temperature cannot be set in FAN mode. This is why the LCD screen on your remote control will not display temperature.

SETTING THE TIMER FUNCTION

Your air conditioning unit has two timer-related functions:

• TIMER ON — sets the amount of time after which the unit will turn on automatically.
• TIMER OFF — sets the amount of time after which the unit will turn off automatically.

TIMER ON function
The TIMER ON function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will turn on automatically, such as when you come home from work.

1. Press the TIMER ON button. By default, the last time period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours) will appear in the display.
   Note: This number indicates the number of hours after the current time at which you want the unit to turn on. For example, if you set TIMER ON for 2 hours, “2.0h” will appear on the screen and the unit will turn on after 2 hours.

2.  Press the TIMER ON button repeatedly to set the time when you want the unit to turn on.

3. Wait 2 seconds, then the TIMER ON function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the temperature display.

Example: Setting the unit to turn on after 2.5 hours.

TIMER OFF function
The TIMER OFF function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will turn off automatically, such as when you wake up.

1. Press the TIMER OFF button. By default, the last time period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours) will appear in the display.
   Note: This number indicates the number of hours after the current time at which you want the unit to turn off. For example, if you set TIMER OFF for 2 hours, “2.0h” will appear on the screen and the unit will turn off after 2 hours.

2. Press the TIMER OFF button repeatedly to set the time when you want the unit to turn off.

3. Wait 2 seconds, then the TIMER OFF function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the temperature display.

Setting both TIMER ON and TIMER OFF at the same time
Bear in mind that the time periods you set for both functions refer to hours after the current time. For example, let us assume that the current time is 1:00pm and you want the unit to turn on automatically at 7:00pm. You want it to operate for 2 hours, then turn off automatically at 9:00 pm.
Proceed as follows:

NOTE: When setting the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF functions, up to 10 hours, the time will increase in 30-minute increments with each press. It will increase in 1-hour increments after 10 hours and up to 24 hours. The timer will revert to zero after 24 hours. You can disable either function by setting the timer to “0.0h”.

HOW TO USE ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

FOLLOW ME function
The FOLLOW ME function allows
the remote control to measure the temperature at its current location. When using the AUTO or COOL function, measuring the ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of from the indoor unit itself) will allow the air conditioner to optimise the temperature around you and ensure maximum comfort.

1. Press the FOLLOW ME button to enable this function. The remote control will send a temperature signal to the unit every three minutes.
2. Press the FOLLOW ME button again to disable this function.

NOTE:

• The button designs are based on a typical model and may be slightly different to the actual model you purchased. The design of the buttons on your device takes precedence.

• All the functions described are executed by the unit. If the unit does not have a feature installed, nothing will happen when you press the relevant button on the remote control.

• If there are discrepancies between “Remote control illustration” and the User Manual, the User Manual description will take precedence.

• The device should comply with local and national regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

• This equipment has been tested and found to be compliant with relevant EMC limits. These
  limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and may radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications unless it is installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception –which can be determined by turning the equipment off and back on – the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by means of one or more of the following measures:

  • Realign or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
  • Connect the equipment to a socket on a circuit that is different to the one to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
