• The outside diameter of the drain connection on the indoor unit is 32mm(1 1/4 inch).
  Piping material: Polyvinyl chloride pipe inner diometes Ø 25mm(1 inch) and pipe fittings

• Be sure to install heat insulation on the drain piping.
  Heat insulation material: Polyethylene foam with thickness more than 8mm(5/16 inch).

Drain test
The air conditioner uses a drain pump to drain water.
Use the following procedure to test the drain pump operation:

• Connect the main drain pipe to the exterior and leave it provisionally until the test comes to an end.
• Feed water to the flexible drain hose and check the piping for leakage.
• Be sure to check the drain pump for normal operating and noise when electrical wiring is complete.
• When the test is complete, connect the flexible drain hose to the drain port on the indoor unit.

CAUTION : The supplied flexible drain hose should not be curved, neither screwed. The curved or screwed hose may cause a leakage of water.

Attention

1. Possible drain-head height is up to 700mm(27 9/16 inch). So, it must be installed below 700mm(27 9/16 inch).

2. Keep the drain hose downward up to 1/50~1/100 inclination.
   Prevent any upward flow or reverse flow in any part.

3. 5mm(3/16 inch) or thicker formed thermal insulator is provided for the drain pipe.

4. Upward routing is not allowed.
   

5. Be sure to check the drain pump for normal operation and abnormal noise when electrical wiring is complete.

Flaring Work and Connection of Piping

Flaring work
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.

1. Cut the pipes and the cable.
   ■ Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased locally.
   ■ Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
   ■ Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
   ■ Cut the cable 1.5m(4.9ft) longer than the pipe length.

2. Burrs removal
   ■ Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
   ■ Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to downward direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid to let burrs drop in the tubing.

3. Putting nut on
   ■ Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor units, than put them on pipe/tube having completed burr removal.
   (Not possible to put them on after flaring work)

4. Flaring work
   ■ Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below.Outside diameter| A
   ---|---
   mm| inch| mm| inch
   Ø6.35| 1/4| 1.1~1.3| 0.04~0.05
   Ø9.52| 3/8| 1.5~1.7| 0.06~0.07
   Ø12.7| 1/2| 1.6~1.8| 0.06~0.07

Firmly hold copper tube in a bar(or die) as indicated dimension in the table above.

5. Check
   ■ Compare the flared work with figure.
   ■ If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the flared section and do flaring work again.

Connection of piping – Outdoor

Align the center of the piping and sufficiently tighten the flare nut by hand.
Connecting pipe order

1. A~D-UNIT gas side pipe
2. A~D-UNIT liquid side pipe

Finally, tighten the flare nut with torque wrench until the wrench clicks.

• When tightening the flare nut with torque wrench ensure the direction for tightening follows the arrow on the wrench.

Checking the Drainage, Insulating the Pipe and Special Piping

Applications

Checking the drainage

1. Remove the Air Filter.
2. Check the drainage.
   • Spray one or two glasses of water upon the evaporator.
   • Ensure that water flows drain hose of indoor unit without any leakage.
   ❈ The figure can be changed according to model.

Insulating the Pipe and Special Piping Applications

Insulate the piping by wrapping the connecting portion of the indoor unit with insulation material and secure it with two kinds of vinyl tape.

• If you want to connect an additional drain hose, the end of the drain outlet should be routed above the ground. Secure the drain hose appropriately.

In cases where the outdoor unit is installed below the indoor unit perform the following:

1. Tape the piping, drain hose and connecting cable from down to up.
2. Secure the taped piping along the exterior wall using saddle or equivalent.

In cases where the Outdoor unit is installed above the Indoor unit perform the following.

1. Tape the piping and connecting cable from down to up.
2. Secure the taped piping along the exterior wall. Form a trap to prevent water entering the room.
3. Secure the piping onto the wall using a saddle or equivalent.

Long Pipe Setting

1. Open the top cover of outdoor unit.
2. Select one of the two selectable modes as follows.
3. Set the Zone as shown in Fig.
4. Close the top cover and check whether the product works normally.

WARNING: Do not open the top cover or Set the pipe length when operating the product.

Air Purging and Evacuation

Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below.

1. Pressure in the system rises.
2. Operating current rises.
3. Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
4. Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
5. Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.
   Therefore, the indoor/outdoor unit and connecting tube must be checked for leaks, and vacuumed to remove incondensible gas and moisture in the system.

Leak Checking

Preparation

• Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the service valve caps from both the gas and the liquid sides on the outdoor unit. Check that both the liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.

Leakage test

• Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge hoses.

CAUTION: Be sure to use a manifold valve for leak testing.
The high side manifold valve must always be kept closed.

• Pressurize the system to no more than 150 P.S.I.G. with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reached 150 P.S.I.G. Next, test for leaks with liquid soap.

CAUTION: To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be higher than its bottom when you pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.

NOTICE : Leakage testing shoud be done for each indoor unit connection set, separately.

1. Do a leakage test of all joints of the tubing(both indoor and outdoor) and both gas and liquid side service valves with soap bubbles.
   Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off the soap with a clean cloth.

2. After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder. When the system pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from the cylinder.

Evacuation

1. Connect the charge hose end described in the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and indoor unit.
   Confirm the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve is open. Then, run the vacuum pump.
   The operation time for evacuation varies with tubing length and capacity of the pump.
   [Each Room] The vacuum pump must be operated less than 0.8torr of the gage pressure.

2. When the desired vacuum is reached, close the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve and stop the vacuum pump.

Finishing the job

1. With a service valve wrench, turn the valve stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
2. Turn the valve stem of gas side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
3. Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas side service port slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.
4. Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas side service port and fasten the flare nut securely with an adjustable wrench. This process is very important to prevent leakage from the system.
5. Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid side service valves and fasten them tight.

This completes air purging with a vacuum pump.
The air conditioner is now ready for test running.

NOTICE : Repeat evacuation procedure for each indoor unit.

Charging

■ Each outdoor unit is factory charged (see rating plate) for the evaporator as well as a 7.5m(25ft) line set for each indoor line.
Any time total line set is used either shorter or longer than the nominal 7.5ID No. m(25ID No. ft) line set length the refrigerant charge has to be adjusted.
■ Whether the line set is made shorter or longer you must adjust the charge based on how many ft of tubing are either added or removed based on 20g/m(0.22oz/ft) of R-410A per meter(foot).

Important:
If you are ever uncertain of the unit charge, reclaim, evacuate and weigh in the correct charge using the charge amount specified on the unit’s rating plate, adjusting for line sets longer or shorter than 7.5m(25ft) for each indoor unit.

Additional charge(g) = [(A Room Installation Length – Standard Length ) x 0.22 oz/ft
+ (B Room Installation Length – Standard Length ) x 0.22 oz/ft +.. ] – CF(Correction Factor) x 1.61 oz
❈ CF = Max. number of connectable indoor unit – Total number of connected indoor unit

❈ If the total additional charge value after calculation comes out to be negative, then do not consider additional charge.
