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.

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.
C) Cut the pipes a little longer than the measured distance.
D) Cut the cable 5ft longer than the pipe length.

1. Burr removal

A) Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
B) Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid dropping burrs into the tubing.

1. Put nut on.

Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor unit, then put them on pipe/tube having completed burr removal. (It is not possible to put them on after flaring work)

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. Check them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could cause burn-out of the wires.)
3. Specification of power source.
4. Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
5. See to that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage marked on the name plate.
6. Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power source specification.
7. Always install an earth leakage circuit breaker in a wet or moist area.
8. The following would be caused by voltage drop: vibration of a magnetic switch, which will damage the contact point, fuse breaking, disturbance of the normal function of the overload protector.
9. The means for disconnection from a power supply shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring and have an air gap contact separation of at least 1/8" in each active (phase) conductors.

Purging the system

Air and moisture in the refrigeration system have undesirable effects as indicated below:

1. Pressure in the system rises.
2. Operating current rises.
3. Cooling or heating (only for models with heating function) 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 unit and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit must apply leakage test and be evacuated to remove any noncondensables and moisture from the system.

Purging the system with a 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. Oil trap should be installed every 16'-25' (no oil trap needed when outdoor unit installed at a lower place than indoor unit).
4. Pipe length and refrigerant amount for single split type air conditioner. (see tabel 2.2)

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.

1. Connect the other charge hose of manifold valve to the vacuum pump.

2. Fully open the Low Side handle of the manifold valve.

3. Operate the vacuum pump to evacuate. After starting evacuation, slightly loose the flare nut of the Low Side valve on the gas pipe side and check if the air is entering (Operation noise of the vacuum pump changes and a compound meter indicates 0 instead of minus), then tighten the flare nut. The procedure verifies if there are blocks inside the tubes.

4. Make evacuation for 15 minutes or more and check that the compound meter indicates -7-3/5 x 10 Microns Hg (-1x10 Pa). After the evacuation is completed, fully close the Low Side handle of the manifold valve and stop the operation of the vacuum pump.

5. Turn the stem of the packed valve B about 45° counterclockwise for 6\~7 seconds after the gas comes out, then tighten the flare nut again. Make sure the pressure display in the pressure indicator is

a little higher than the atmospheric pressure. This procedure verifies if the refrigerant goes through the tubes correctly.

1. Close the schrader valve, then remove the valve core tool. Replace the charging port cap.

2. Fully open the packed valve stems B and A.

3. Securely tighten the cap of the packed valve.

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. Electrical leakage check (performing during test running): During test operation after finishing installation, the serviceman can use the electric probe and multimeter to perform the electrical leakage check. Turn off the unit immediately if electrical leakage happens. Check and find out the solution ways till the unit operates properly.

Gas leak check

Soap water method

Apply a soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connection or outdoor unit connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points of the piping. If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage point.

Leak detector

Use the leak detector to check for leakage.

Caution

A: Low side valve, B: High side valve valve C and D are ends of indoor unit connection.

Initial operation test

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. When the ambient temperature is too low(lower than 63 °F), the unit cannot be controlled by the remote controller to run in cooling mode, manual operation can be taken. Manual operation is used only when the remote controller is disable or maintenance necessary.
