6 Outdoor Unit Installation Outdoor Unit Installation Instructions Step 1: Select installation location √ √ √ √ √ The area must be free of combustible gases and chemicals. The pipe length between the outdoor and indoor units must not exceed the maximum allowable pipe length. If possible, DO NOT install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. If possible, make sure the unit is located far away from your neighbors’ property so that the noise from the unit will not disturb them.

7 Refrigerant Piping Connection Safety Precautions WARNING Refrigerant Piping Connection • All field piping must be completed by a licensed technician and must comply with local and national regulations. • When the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to prevent the refrigerant concentration in the room from exceeding the safety limit in the event of refrigerant leakage.
4. Remove the PVC tape from the ends of the NOTE: Use both a spanner and a torque wrench pipe when you're ready to perform the flaring when connecting or disconnecting pipes to/from work. the unit. 5. Clamp the flare form on the end of the pipe. The end of the pipe must extend beyond the flare form. Flare form Pipe Fig. 7.4 6. Place the flaring tool onto the form. 7. Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise until the pipe is fully flared.
8 Wiring Safety Precautions WARNING • • • • • • Wiring • • Be sure to disconnect the power supply before working on the unit. All electrical wiring must be done according to local and national regulations. Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified technician. Improper connections may cause electrical malfunction, injury, and fire. An independent circuit and single outlet must be used for this unit. DO NOT plug another appliance or charger into the same outlet.

Using wire strippers, strip the rubber jacket from both ends of the signal cable to reveal about 5.9 in (15 cm) of the wires inside. C. Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires. D.
Wiring Figure CAUTION Connect the connective cables to the terminals as identified with their respective matched numbers on the terminal block of the indoor and outdoor units. For example, see the following US models: Terminal L1(A) on the outdoor unit must connect with terminal L1 on the indoor unit. NOTE: If the client wants to perform the wiring himself, refer to the following figures. Run the main power cord through the lower line-outlet of the cord clamp.
NOTE: If the client wants to perform the wiring himself, refer to the following figures.

Model E Model F Model G CAUTION Page 19 Wiring After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows: • Never fail to delegate an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. For the method of wiring, use the circuit diagram posted on the inside of the control cover as a guide.
9 Air Evacuation Safety Precautions CAUTION • Use a vacuum pump with a gauge reading lower than -0.1 MPa and an air discharge capacity above 40 L/min. • The outdoor unit does not need vacuuming. DO NOT open the outdoor unit’s gas and liquid stop valves. • Ensure that the compound meter reads -0.1 MPa or below after 2 hours. If after 3 hours of operation the gauge reading is still above -0.1 MPa, check if there is a gas leak or water inside the pipe.
Note on Adding Refrigerant CAUTION • Refrigerant charging must be performed after wiring, vacuuming, and the leak test. DO NOT exceed the maximum allowable quantity of refrigerant or overcharge the system. Doing so may damage or impact the unit’s function. • Charging with unsuitable substances may cause explosions or accidents. Ensure that the appropriate refrigerant is used. • Refrigerant containers must be opened slowly. Always use protective gear when charging the system. • DO NOT mix refrigerant types.
Test Run Before Test Run A test run must be performed after the entire system has been completely installed. Confirm the following points before performing the test: a) The indoor and outdoor units are properly installed. b) Piping and wiring are properly connected. c) No obstacles are near the inlet and outlet of the unit that might cause poor performance or product malfunction. d) The refrigeration system does not leak. e) The drainage system is unimpeded and draining to a safe location.
Function of Automatic Wiring/Piping Correction 11 Automatic Wiring/Piping Correction Function The new product is able to automatically correct a wiring/piping error. Press the "check switch" on the outdoor unit PCB board for 5 seconds until the LED display shows "CE." This means the function is working. Approximately 5-10 minutes after the switch is pressed, "CE" will disappear, the wiring/piping error will be corrected, and the wiring/piping will be properly connected.
