Connective pipe and drainage installation Connective pipe 1. For the left-hand and right-hand piping, remove the pipe cover from the side panel. The pipe cover must be kept as it may be used when relocating the air conditioner to any other place. Pipe cover (right) Drainage 1. Run the drain hose sloping downward. Do not install the drain hose as illustrated sideward. 2.
3. Piping can easily be made by lifting the indoor unit with a cushioning material between the indoor unit and the wall. Get it out after finish piping. 4. Push the lower part of the indoor unit up on the wall, Then move the indoor unit from side to side, up and down to check if it is hooked securely. Piping and wrapping 1. Bundle the tubing, connecting cable, and drain hose with tape securely and evenly as shown in the sideward figure. 2.
Outdoor unit installation 1. Install the outdoor part of the unit on a rigid surface to avoid excess noise and vibration. 2. Direct the air vent toward an area without obstacles. 3. Install the unit at the site where it is exposed to as little wind as possible, especially in areas where it is frequently windy. 4. If the installation site is exposed to heavy winds, such as in coastal areas, place the unit along the widest part of the wall or use protective plates. 5.

Refrigerant piping connection Unit comes with 16.4 feet tubing bundle. It is not recommended to cut. If too long, loop for excess. Note: Keep original bend so not kinking of the tube occurs. Flaring work Main cause for refrigerant leakage is due to defect in the flaring work. Pipe Carry out correct flaring work using the following procedure: 1. Cut the pipes and the cable. A) Use the piping kit accessory or pipes purchased locally. B) Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
4. Flaring work. Firmly hold copper pipe in a die in the dimension shown in the table below. OUTER DIAMETER (inch) Bar Copper pipe Handle A (inch) Max.

Screw the flare nut with your fingers, and then tighten it with a spanner and torque wrench, as shown in the following figure.
Connect the cable to the indoor unit 1. The inside and outside connecting cable can be connected without removing the front grille. 2. Connecting cable between indoor unit and outdoor unit shall be approved polychloroprene sheathed flexible cord, type designation 16AWG or heavier cord. 3. Lift the indoor unit panel up, remove the electrical box cover by loosening the screw. 4. Ensure the colour of wires of outdoor unit and the terminal Nos. are the same to the indoors respectively. 5.

Caution After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows: 1. Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control cover. 2. The screws which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation.
Air purging with vacuum pump 1. 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 side on the outdoor unit. Note that both the liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage. 2. When relocating the unit to another place, perform evacuation using vacuum pump. 3.
When using the vacuum pump For method of using a manifold valve, refer to its operation manual. 1. Completely tighten the flare nuts at connection point A, B, C and D. Connect valve core removal tool to the charging port, then connect vacuum hose to valve core tool. Open the schrader valve. Note: The schrader valve is inside the charging port. 2. Connect the other charge hose of manifold valve to the vacuum pump. 3. Fully open the handle Lo of the manifold valve. 4. Operate the vacuum pump to evacuate.
Electrical safety Perform the electric safety check after completing installation: 1. Insulated resistance: The insulated resistance must be more than 2M . 2. Grounding work: After finishing grounding work, measure the grounding resistance by visual detection and grounding resistance tester. Make sure the grounding resistance is less than 4 . 3.
Test running Perform test operation after completing gas leak check at the flare nut connections and electrical safety check. 1. Connect the power, press the ON/OFF button on the remote controller to turn the unit on. 2. Use the MODE button to select COOL, HEAT(Only for models with heating function), AUTO and FAN to check if all the functions work well. 3.
