Installation

1. Installation of Indoor, Outdoor unit

1) Selection of the best location

1. 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, fence, or other obstacles.

1. More than 5 cm
2. More than eye-level

2. Outdoor unit.

• If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct sunlight or rain exposure, be careful that heat radiation from the condenser is not restricted.
• There should not be any animals or plants which could be affected by hot air discharged.
• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from the wall, ceiling, fence, or other obstacles.

1. More than 10 cm
2. More than 70 cm

3. Piping length and the elevation

2) Indoor Unit Installation

The mounting wall should be strong and solid enough to prevent it from the vibration.

1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with four Type “A” screws.

(if mounting the unit on the concrete wall, consider using anchor bolts.)

• Always mount the Installation plate horizontally by aligning the marking-off line by means of the thread and a level.

5. Type “A” screw

2. Drill the piping hole with 70mm dia. hole core drill.

• For right rear piping, draw a line in the direction of the arrow marked “A” and make another line extended from the bottom line of installation plate.
  The meeting point of two lines is the center of the hole.

• For left rear piping, draw a line extended left from the bottom line of the installation plate.
  This is the center line of any hole for the left rear installation.

• Drill the Piping hole at either the right or the left and the hole should be slightly slanted to the outdoor side.

2. Piping and Drainage of Indoor Unit

1) Preparation of Pipings

1. Cut the pipes and the cable.

1. Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased locally.

2. Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.

3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.

4. Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the length of the pipe.

5. Pipe cutter

6. Slanted

7. Rough

2. Remove burrs.

• Remove burrs from cut edges of pipes.
• Turn the pipe end toward down to avoid the metal powder entering the pipe.

Caution:
If burrs are not removed, they may cause a gas leakage.

1. Pipe
2. Reamer
3. Point down

3. Flaring the pipes.

• Insert the flare nuts, mounted on the connection ports of both indoor and outdoor unit, onto the copper pipes. Some gas may leak, when the flare nuts are removed from the indoor unit, as some gas is charged to prevent the inside of the pipe from rusting.
• Fit the copper pipe end into the Bar of flare tool about 0.5~1.0mm higher. (See illustration)
• Flare the pipe ends.

“A”; ø15.88 mm (⅝“) ; 0~1.0mm
ø12.7 mm (½“) ; 0~0.5mm
ø9.52 mm (⅜“) ; 0~0.5mm

2. Handle
3. Yoke
4. Cone
5. Red arrow mark

7. Copper pipe

4. Tape the flaring portion to protect it from the dust or damages.

= Improper flaring =

1. Inclined
2. Surface damaged
3. Cracked
4. Uneven thickness

When properly flared, the internal surface of the flare will evenly shine and be of even thickness.
After the flare part comes into contact with the connectors, carefully check the flare finish.

2) Connection of Pipings

1. Remove the indoor tubing with Drain hose from the hole

• Remove tubing holder and pull the tubing out of the chassis.

2. Replace the tubing holder into original position.

3. Route the tubing and the drain hose straight backwards.

4. Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit through the piping hole.

• Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.
• Make a small loop with the cable for easy connection later.

5. Tape the tubing, drain hose and the connecting cable. Be sure that drain hose locates at the lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the upper side can be a reason that drain water overflows drain pan inside the unit.

CAUTION:

• The power supply cord connected to the outdoor unit should be complied with 2.5mm² conductors.
  (Type H07RN-F, TUV or VDE Approval)

• The connecting cable connected to the indoor and outdoor unit should be complied with 0.75mm² conductors.
  (Type H05RN-F, TUV or VDE Approval)

• This appliance must be installed in accordance with current National Wiring Regulations.

• Connecting cable between indoor unit and outdoor unit shall be approved and the size of conductor shall be in accordance with local law.

2. Attach the Grille onto the cabinet.

• Grasp the lower left and right side of the Grille and engage four tabs on the top inside edge of the chassis.
• Press the Grille toward the chassis until it will be back into place.

3) Form the pipings

1. Wrap the connecting portion of indoor unit with the Insulation material and secure it with two Plastic Bands.(for the right pipings)

• If you want to connect an additional drain hose, the end of the drain-outlet should keep distance from the ground.(Do not dip it into water, and fix it on the wall to avoid swinging in the wind.)

In case of the Outdoor unit being installed below position of the Indoor unit.

2. Tape the Pipings, drain hose and Connecting Cable from down to up.

3. Form the pipings gathered by taping along the exterior wall and fix it onto the wall by saddle or equivalent.

5. Air Purging

1) Air purging

The air which contains moisture remaining in the refrigeration cycle may cause a malfunction on the compressor.

1. Remove the caps from the gas side and liquid side valves.
2. Remove the service-port cap from the gas side valve.
3. Turn the valve stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise approx. 90° and hold it there for ten seconds, then close it.
4. Check a gas-leakage of the connecting portion of the pipings.

CAUTION: Do not leak the gas in the air during air purging. Use vacuum pump as far as possible.

3. 6. To purge the air, push the pin on the service port of gas side valve for three seconds with a hexagonal wrench and set it free for one minute.
   Repeat this three times.

7. Set the both liquid and gas side valves to open position with the Hexagonal wrench for the unit operation.

8. Checking a gas leakage
(1) Connect the manifold gauge to the service port of gas side valve.
Measure the pressure.
(2) Keep it for 5-10 minutes.
Ensure if the pressure indicated on the gauge is as same as that of measured at first time.

  (Two “R03” or “AAA” dry-cell batteries or equivalent.)

• Be sure that the (+) and (-) directions are correct.

• Be sure that both batteries are new.
  Re-attach the cover.

• Slide it back into position.

3. Operate the unit for fifteen minutes or more.

CAUTION:
This appliance must be installed in accordance with current National Wiring Regulations.
Connecting cable between indoor unit and outdoor unit shall be approved and the size of conductor shall be in accordance with local law.

Settlement of Outdoor Unit

• Anchor the outdoor unit with a bolt and nut (ø10cm) tightly and horizontally on a concrete or rigid mount.
• When installing on the wall, roof or rooftop, anchor the mounting base securely with a nail or wire assuming the influence of wind and earthquake.
• In the case when the vibration of the unit is conveyed to the house, settle the unit with an anti-vibration rubber.

2) Evaluation of the performance

1. Measure the temperature of the intake and discharge air.

2. Ensure the difference between the intake temperature and the discharge one is more than 8°C (Cooling) or reversely (Heating).

1. Bolt
2. Tubing connection
