INSTALLATION MANUAL AIR
CONDITIONER

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the  instructions below:

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air conditioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

INSTALLATION PLACE

Select the best Location
Indoor unit

• There should not be any heat source or steam near the unit.
• There should not be any obstacles to prevent the air circulation.
• A place where air circulation in the room will be good.
• A place where drainage can be easily obtained.
• A place where noise prevention is taken into consideration.
• Do not install the unit near the door way.
• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from the wall, ceiling, or other obstacles.
• The indoor unit must keep the maintenance space.

INSTALLATION
Indoor unit installation

1. The mounting floor should be strong and solid enough to prevent it from vibration.
2. Drill the piping hole with 70mm diameter hole-core drill at either the right or the left of indoor unit. The hole should be sightly slant to the outdoor side.
3. Insert the plastic tube through the hole.
4. Cut the extruded outside part of the plastic tube, if necessary.

– When using knock-out hole to route the piping, insert the plastic cover in knock-out hole in order to prevent the piping from damaged by sharp edge of the hole.

Precautions in bending

1. If it is necessary to bend or stretch the tubing, use the spring which is attached to the tubing instead of pipe bender.
   – Please make a careful notice to make a smooth line.
   – Hold the tubing with your two hands closely and then bend or stretch it slowly not to make any crack.
   – Remember that the radius (R) should not exceed 70mm (Refer to Fig. 1)

2. Do not repeat the bending process to prevent the tubing from cracking or crushing.

3. Keep in mind that the bending part should not be cracked and make the radius (R) as long as possible (Refer to Fig. 2)

WIRING CONNECTION

Connecting the cable
Indoor unit

• The inside and outside connecting cable can be connected after opening the inlet grille.

  1. Open the inlet grille manually.
  2. Open the control cover with Driver(⊕)
  3. Connect the cables to the connector in the control box.
  4. Secure the control cover to the original position with the screw.
  5. Close the inlet grille.

LEAKAGE TEST AND EVALUATION

Vacuum drying of the connecting pipes and the indoor unit
The air which contains moisture remaining in the refrigeration cycle may cause a malfunction on the compressor.

1. Confirm that both the liquid side valve and the gas side valve are set to the closed position.
2. After connecting the piping, check the joints for gas leakage with gas leak detector.
3. Remove the service port nut, and connect the gauge manifold and the vacuum pump to the service port by the charge hose.
4. Vacuum the indoor unit and the connecting pipes until the pressure in them lowers to below 76cmHg.
5. Remove the valve stem nuts, and fully open the stems of the 2-way and 3-way valves with a hexagon wrench.
6. Tighten the valve stem nuts of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve.
7. Disconnect the charge hose and fit the nut to the service port. (Tightening torque: 1.8kg.m)

FINAL CHECK AND TEST RUN

After installing the unit, perform the final check and running test as follows:
Final check points

1. Is the unit securely mounted?
2. Is the installation location adequate?
3. Does the water piping work adequately and without leakage?
4. Are trapped drain lines installed at condensate drain connections?
5. Has the refrigeration cooling cycle been kept sealed?
6. Is the electrical wiring adequate and are the screws tightened on terminals?

After the above final checkings, prepare the running test as follows:

1. Connect compound gauges to the check joints at discharge and suction sides of the compressor.
2. Turn all switches “OFF”.
3. Turn the main switch “ON”.

Running test should be accomplished as follows:

1. Set operation switch at “FAN” and the fan will start. Check to ensure that the fan sounds normal.
2. Next, set it at “COOL” and the compressor will start. Check to ensure that the compressor sounds normal.
3. Check discharge and suction pressure on the compound gauges.
4. Check working voltage, phase balance and running current.
5. Check to ensure that the thermistor functions properly.
6. Check to ensure that the high pressure control switch functions correctly.
