INSTALLING THE OUTDOOR UNIT

Location
Use bolts to secure the unit to a flat, solid floor.
When mounting the unit on a wall or the roof, make sure the support is firmly secured so that it cannot move in the event of intense vibrations or a strong wind.

• Do not install the outdoor unit in pits or air vents

Installing the pipes
Use suitable connecting pipes and equipment for the refrigerant R410A.

The refrigerant pipes must not exceed the maximum heights 15m(18K&24K), 25m(30K&36K&42K).
Wrap all the refrigerant pipes and joints.
Tighten the connections using two wrenches working in opposite directions.

Caution: Installation Must be Performed in Accordance with the NEC/CEC by Authorized Personnel Only.
Install the drain fitting and the drain hose (for model with heat pump only)
Condensation is produced and flows from the outdoor unit when the appliance is operating in the heating mode. In order not to disturb neighbours and to respect the environment,install a drain fitting and a drain hose to channel the condensate water.
Install the drain fitting and rubber washer on the outdoor unit chassis and connect a drain hose to it as shown in the figure.

BLEEDING

Humid air left inside the refrigerant circuit can cause compressor malfunction.
After having connected the indoor and outdoor units, bleed the air and humidity from the refrigerant circuit using a vacuum pump.

1. Unscrew and remove the caps from the 2-way and 3- way valves.

2. Unscrew and remove the cap from the service valve.

3. Connect the vacuum pump hose to the service valve.

4. Operate the vacuum pump for 10-15 minutes until an absolute vacuum of 10 mm Hg has been reached.

5. With the vacuum pump still in operation, close the low-pressure knob on the vacuum pump coupling.
   Stop the vacuum pump.

6. Open the 2-way valve by 1/4 turn and then close it after 10 seconds. Check all the joints for leaks using liquid soap or an electronic leak device.

7. Turn the body of the 2-way and 3-way valves. Discon nect the vacuum pump hose.

8. Replace and tighten all the caps on the valves.

When the adaptor is required for the connection of indoor unit and the 24K、30K、36K、42K outdoor unit, the method of pipe connection as follows:

MAINTENANCE

Use suitable instruments for the refrigerant R410A.
Do not use any other refrigerant than R410A.
Do not use mineral oils to clean the unit.

INSTALLATION DIMENSION DIAGRAM

The installation must be done by trained and qualified service personnel with reliability according to this manual.
Contact service center before installation to avoid the malfunction due to unprofessional installation.
When picking up and moving the units, you must be guided by trained and qualified person.
Ensure that the recommended space is left around the appliance.

Fix the support of outdoor unit (select it according to the actual installation situation)

1. Select installation location according to the house structure.
2. Fix the support of outdoor unit on the selected location with expansion screws.

NOTICE:

• Take sufficient protective measures when installing the outdoor unit.
• Make sure the support can withstand at least four times of the unit weight.
• The outdoor unit should be installed at least 1.18in above the floor in order to install drain joint. (for the model with heating tube, the installation height should be no less than 7.87in.)
• For the unit with cooling capacity of 2300W ~ 5000W, 6 expansion screws are needed; for the unit with cooling capacity of 6000W~ 8000W, 8 expansion screws are needed; for the unit with cooling capacity of 10000W~16000W, 10 expansion screws are needed. As for the shape of drainage joint, please refer to the current product.
• Do not install the drainage joint in the severe cold area. Otherwise, it will be frosted and then cause malfunction.

CHECK AFTER INSTALLATION

effect
Is the thermal insulation of the unit sufficient?| May cause condensation and water dropping
Is the drainage smooth?| May cause condensation and water dropping
Does the power supply voltage accord with the rated voltage specified on the nameplate?| The unit may bread down or the components may be burned out
Are the lines and pipelines correctly installed?| The unit may bread down or the components may be burned out
Has the unit been safely grounded?| Risk of electrical leakage
Are the models of lines in conformity with requirements?| The unit may bread down or the components may be burned out
Are there any obstacles near the air inlet and outlet of the indoor and out- door units?| The unit may bread down or the components may be burned out
Have the length of refrigerating pipe and refrigerant charge amount been recorded?| It is not easy to decide the charge amount of refrigerant.
