Mounting Plate Type A

Mounting Plate Type B

Step 2: Drill Piping Hole

1 Determine hole positions according to the diagram. Drill one (1) hole ( 55 or 70 mm) in the wall at a slight downward slant to the outdoor side.

Piping hole	Model
Φ55 mm	Cooling capacity <4500W
Φ70 mm	Cooling capacity >4500W

2 The inclination must be between 5 - 10mm in order to ensure a good drain of condensed water generated by the indoor unit.

3 Insert the wall pipe into the hole to prevent and wiring from being damaged when passing through the whole.
4 Always use a wall hole conduit when drilling metal grids, metal plates or the like.
5 For cooling capacity over 4500W models, remove and dispose the two polystyrene lateral rear supports from the indoor unit before the installation.

Step 3: Installation of Drain Hose

1 Connect the drain hose to the outlet pipe of the indoor unit. Bind the joint with vinyl tape.

2 Put the drain hose into insulating pipe.

3 Wrap the insulating pipe with wide vinyl tape to prevent the shift of insulating pipe. Slant the drain hose downward slightly for smooth drainage of condensing water.

caution

1 The insulating tube should be connected reliably with the sleeve outside the outlet pipe.
2 The drain hose should be slanted downward slightly, without distortion, bulge or fluctuation.

3 Do not put the outlet in the water.

Step 4: Installation of Indoor Unit

The piping can be output from right, rear right, left or rear left.

1 When routing the piping and wiring from the left or right side of indoor unit, cut off the tailings from the chassis when necessary (see figure below).

• Cut off the tailings 1 when routing the wiring only.
• Cut off the tailings 1 and tailings 2 when routing both the wiring and piping.

2 The drain hose can be connected at two different positions. Use the most convenient position and, if necessary, exchange the position of drain cap and drain hose.

- The drain hose is connected at the rear left side of the indoor unit when you receive the product.

- Follow the instruction as below for exchanging the position of drain cap and drain hose in case from left side to right.

(a) Pull out the drain cap at the rear right of the indoor unit.

(b) Pull out the drain hose at the rear left of the indoor unit.

(c) Put the drain cap into the drain hole at the rear left of the indoor unit.

(d) Insert the drain hose into the drain hole at the rear right of the indoor unit.

3 Pipe arrangement

- Arrange the pipe in the most convenient direction and position.

Piping on the rear right side

- Do not route both refrigerant piping and drain hose from the right side to the left side to prevent big gap between the indoor unit and the wall.

4 Take out the piping from body case, wrap the piping, power cords, drain hose with the tape and then make them pass through the piping hose.

Do not put any object in the drain pan located in the rear of the indoor unit, as the condensed water is gathered there and piped out of the room.

caution

• Connect the indoor unit first, then the outdoor unit.

• Do not plug the cable to the indoor unit. That must be done later.

• Turn lightly the cable to make the connection easier later.

• Be careful not to let the drain hose become slack.
  • Heat insulate the connecting pipe.
• Be sure that the drain hose is located at the lowest side of the buddle. Locating at the upper side can cause drain pan to overflow inside unit.
• Never cross connect or interwind the power wire with any other wiring.
• Do not allow the piping to be exposed out from the back of the indoor unit.
• If part of the drain hose is positioned inside the room, wrap it with insulating materials so as to prevent condensed water from dropping.

5 Hang the mounting slots of the indoor unit on the upper hooks of the mounting plate and check if it is firm enough.

To ease the piping installation, put a spacer between the indoor unit and the wall.

Remove the spacer once finished.

6 Press the lower left and right sides of the unit against the mounting plate until the lower hooks engage into their slots.

Ensure the unit is firmly fitted.

  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 has been completed. Remove the service valve caps from both gas and liquid sides on the outdoor unit.
• For detailed data of pipe length and refrigerant amount, please refer to page 6.

caution

• Both liquid and gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.
• When relocate the unit to another place, performevacuation using vacuum pump.
  • Make sure the refrigerant added into the air conditioner is in liquid form in any case.

Caution in Handing the Stop Valve

• Operation of opening stop valve: Open the valve stem until it hits against the stopper. Do not try to open it further.
• Operation of closing stop valve: Securely tighten the valve stem with a special tool. Then securely tighten the valve stem cap with a spanner or the like.

Refrigerant

i tips and information

• A: Low pressure valve (3-way) - gas side.
• B: High pressure valve (2-way) - liquid side.
• C and D: they are the ends of indoor unit connection

Refer to the valve cap tightening torque value as below:

Outer diam. (mm)	Torque (N.m)	Additional Torque (N.m)
Φ 6.35 (1/4")	15.7 (1.6kg.m)	19.6 (2.0kg.m)
Φ 9.52 (3/8")	29.4 (3.0kg.m)	34.3 (3.5kg.m)
Φ 12.70 (1/2")	49.0 (5.0kg.m)	53.9 (5.5kg.m)
Φ 15.88 (5/8")	73.6 (7.5kg.m)	78.6 (8.0kg.m)

When Using the Vacuum Pump

1 Completely tighten the flare nuts on A, B, C and D, connect the manifold valve charge hose (blue) to the charge port of the low pressure valve (3-way valve) on the gas pipe side.
2 Connect the other charge hose (yellow) of manifold to the vacuum pump.
3 Fully open the handle Lo of the manifold valve.
4 Open the vacuum pump for vacuumization. At the beginning, slightly loose the flare nut of the low pressure valve to check if there is air coming inside (If operation noise of the vacuum pump has been changed, the reading of multimeter is 0 instead of minus). Then tighten the flare nut.
5 Keep vacuuming for more than 15 minutes and make sure the reading of multimeter is -1.0 x 10⁵ Pa (-76cmHg). Then fully close the handle Lo of manifold valve and stop the operation of the vacuum pump.
6 Turn the stem of the stop valve B (2-way valve) about 45° counterclockwise for 6\~7 seconds after the gas coming out, then tighten the flare nut again. Make sure the pressure display in the pressure indicator is a little higher than the atmosphere pressure.
7 Remove the charge hose from the low pressure charge port.
8 Fully open the valve stems of A (3-way valve) and B (2-way valve).
9 Securely tighten the stem cap.

Test and Running

Gas Leakage Check

1 Soap water method:

Apply soap water or liquid neutral detergent on all valves and pipe connections (A, B, C and D, refer to the figure below) involved in installation by a soft brush to check for leakage.

If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage.

2 Leak detector

Use the leak detector to check for leakage.

Electrical Safety Check

Perform the electric safe check after completing the installation:

1 Earthing work

After finishing earthing work, measure the earthing resistance by visual detection and earthing resistance tester.

2 Electrical leakage check

(performing during test running)

During test operation after finishing installation, the service person can use the electric probe and multimeter to perform the electrical leakage check. Turn off the unit immediately if refrigerant leakage happens. Check and find out the solution ways till the unit operate properly.

Operation Test

1 Before Operation Test

- Do not switch on power before installation is finished completely.

• Electric wiring must be connected correctly and securely.

- Stop valves of the connection pipes should be fully opened.

- All the impurities such as scraps and waste must be cleared from the unit.

2 Operation Test Method

- Switch on power and press "ON/OFF" button on the remote controller to start the operation.

- Press MODE button to select the COOL, HEAT (if applicable), FAN to check if all the functions work well.

- When the ambient temperature is lower than 16°C), the unit can not be set on the remote control to work in COOL mode. Please use the Emergency Operation mode which is used only when the remote is unavailable or in case of maintenance.

Pump Done

When relocating or disposing of the air conditioner, pump down the system following the procedure below so that no refrigerant is released into the atmosphere.

• Connect the hose of manifold valve to the charge port of stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
• Close the stop valve on the gas pipe side almost completely.
• Fully close the stop valve on the liquid pipe side.
• Turn on the unit in COOL mode.
• Fully close the stop valve on the gas pipe side when the pressure gauge shows 1 - 0.5 kgf/cm ² (100 \~ 50 kPa).
• Stop the test run operation by turn the unit off and all the refrigerant gas have been collected in the outdoor unit.
