Operate the air conditioner again by pressing the Power button.
Problem Solution • Check whether doors or windows are open. This may cause poor cooling performance. Close the doors and windows. • Check whether the air conditioner is turned on immediately after the cooling operation Cool air does not stops. In this case, only the fan runs to come out of the protect the outdoor unit compressor. air conditioner. • Check whether the pipe length is too long. When the pipe length exceeds the maximum pipe length, the cooling performance may decrease.
Troubleshooting Problem Solution Cleaning and Maintenance The remote control does not work. • Replace the batteries in the remote control with new ones. • Make sure that nothing is blocking the remote control sensor. • Check whether there are strong lighting apparatus near the air conditioner.

Installation Safety Information on Installation Carefully follow the precautions listed below because they are essential to guarantee the safety of both the air conditioner and the workers. • The unit contains moving parts, which should always be kept out of the reach of children. • • Always disconnect the air conditioner from the power supply before servicing it or accessing its internal components. Do not attempt to repair, move, alter or reinstall the unit.
• When installing the outdoor unit at the seaside, make sure that it is not directly exposed to sea breeze. If you cannot find an adequate place free from direct sea breeze, construct a protection wall or a protective fence. –– Install the outdoor unit in a place (such as near buildings etc.) where it can be protected from sea breeze. Failure to do so may cause a damage to the outdoor unit. • Always make sure that the power supply is compliant with current safety standards.
Preparation Step 1.1 Choosing the installation location Overview of installation location requirements CAUTION • Comply with the length and height limits described in the figure above. Minimum clearances for the outdoor unit Wall 100 mm or more 125 mm or more 125 mm or more Minimum clearance in mm 300 Drain hose hole You can select the direction of draining (left or right).
Step 1.
Preparation Optional accessories Insulated assembly pipe, Ø 6.35 mm (1) Insulated assembly pipe, Ø 12.70 mm (1) 18 Drain Hose, 2 m long (1) NOTE Insulated assembly pipe, Ø 9.52 mm (1) 09/12 Insulated assembly pipe, Ø 15.88 mm (1) 24 • A flare nut is attached to the end of each pipe of an evaporator or a service port. Use flare nuts when connecting the pipes. • Wire assembly cables are optional. If they are not supplied, use standard cables.
2 Drill the hole. CAUTION Right Left Rear right or left • Be sure to drill only one hole. • Make sure that the hole slants downwards so that the drain hose slants downwards to drain water well. Wall Bottom right Indoor unit CAUTION • Drain hose If changing the pipe direction from left to right, do not drastically bent it but slowly turn it in the opposite direction as shown. Otherwise, the pipe may be damaged in the process.
Indoor Unit Installation Step 2.1 Connecting the cables (assembly cable) NOTE • Each wire is labelled with the corresponding terminal number. • Use shield cable (Category 5; less than 50pF/m) for noisy environmental site. • Power supply cords of parts of appliances for outdoor use shall not be lighter than polychloroprene sheathed flexible cord. (Code designation IEC: 60245 IEC 66/ CENELEC: H07RN-F, IEC: 60227 IEC 53/CENELEC: H05VV-F) • Power & Communication cable shall not exceed 30m.
Step 2.2 Optional: Extending the power cable 1 • The compression dimension should be 8.0. Prepare the following tools. Tools Spec Compression dimension Shape Crimping pliers MH-14 Connection sleeve (mm) 20xØ7.0 (HxOD) Insulation tape Width 18 mm Contraction tube (mm) 50xØ8.0 (LxOD) • After compressing it, pull both sides of the wire to make sure it is firmly pressed.
Indoor Unit Installation WARNING • CAUTION In case of extending the electric wire, please DO NOT use a round-shaped pressing socket. –– Incomplete wire connections can cause electric shock or a fire. Step 2.3 Installing and connecting the drain hose 1 Install the drain hose. • Make sure that the indoor unit is in upright position when you pour water to check for leakage. Make sure that the water does not overflow onto the electrical part.
Step 2.5 Optional: Changing the direction of the drain hose Drain pan outlet Rubber cap Pour water in the direction of arrow. There are 2 refrigerant pipes of different diameters: • The smaller one is for the liquid refrigerant • The larger one is for the gas refrigerant A short liquid refrigerant pipe and a short gas refrigerant pipe are already fitted to the air conditioner.
Indoor Unit Installation NOTE • Flare nut The pipe will be insulated and fixed permanently into position after finishing the installation and the gas leak test. For further details. see Step 4.1 Performing the gas leak tests on page 43. Indoor outlet pipe (Unit: mm) CAUTION • • Connecting pipe Outer diameter (mm) Torque (N•m) Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench according to specified method. If the flare nut is over-tightened, the flare may break and cause refrigerant gas leakage.
NOTE • Excessive torque may cause gas leakage. When extending the pipe with welding or brazing, ensure that nitrogen is used during the welding or brazing process. The joint must be accessible and serviceable. • Tighten the flare nut at the specified torque. If the flare nut is over-tightened, it may break to cause leakage of refrigerant gas. CAUTION (Unit : mm) Step 2.
Outdoor Unit Installation Step 3.1 Fixing the outdoor unit in place Optional: Fixing the outdoor unit to a wall with a rack Soft rubber designed to cut off vibration from rack to wall (not supplied with product) Y X Rubber leg (Unit : mm) Model X Y 90 700 275 12/18 770 300 24 845 363 1 Place the outdoor unit as directed on the top of the unit to let the discharged air out properly. 2 Fix the outdoor unit in level to an appropriate support using anchor bolts.
CAUTION • Control box Remove the screw for the control box cover 1 When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When recovering the refrigerant, ground the compressor first before removing the connection pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor works with the stop valve open, the pipe inhales the air and it makes the pressure inside of the refrigerant cycle abnormally high. It may cause explosion and injury. Leave the system in the standby mode.
Outdoor Unit Installation 3 Open the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge anticlockwise. 4 Evacuate the air in the connected pipes using the vacuum pump for about 15 minutes. 5 R-410A is a mixed type of refrigerant. It is necessary for recharging under conditions of liquid. When recharging refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, take the following instructions: Before recharging, check whether the cylinder has a siphon or not.
Installation Inspection Step 4.1 Performing the gas leak tests 1 Before inspecting the leakage, use a torque wrench to close the cap for the stop valve. (Comply with a tightening torque for each size of the diameter, and tighten the cap firmly to prevent any leakage.) Test parts for the indoor unit Tightening torque for body cap (Refer to the table) Spindle Step 4.
WARNING After installing the product, be sure to perform leak tests on the piping connections.After pumping down refrigerant to inspect or relocate the outdoor unit, be sure to stop the compressor and then remove the connected pipes. ‐ Do not operate the compressor while a valve is open due to refrigerant leakage from a pipe or an unconnected or incorrectly connected pipe.
