3 Installation of the Indoor Unit
Drawing of pipe
[ Rear piping ]
- Draw pipes and the drain hose, then fasten them with the adhesive tape
[Left-Left-rear piping]
- In case of left side piping, cut away, with a nipper, the lid for left piping.
-
In case of left-rear piping, bend the pipes according to the piping direction to
the mark of hole for left-rear piping which is marked on heat insulation materials. -
Insert the drain hose into the dent of heat insulation materials of indoor unit.
- Insert the indoor/outdoor electric cable from backside of indoor unit, and pull it out on the front side, then connect them.

- Indoor/outdoor electric cable and drain hose must be bound with refrigerant piping by protecting tape.
[Other direction piping]
- Cut away, with a nipper, the lid for piping according to the piping direction and then bend the pipe according to the deposition of wall hole. When bending, be careful not to crash pipes.
- Connect beforehand the indoor/outdoor electric cable, and then pull out the connected to the heat insulation of connecting part specially.
Fixing the indoor unit body
- Hang surely the unit body onto the upper notches of the mounting plate. Move the body from side to side to verify its secure fixing.
In order to fix the body onto the mounting plate, hold up the body aslant from the underside and then put it down perpendicularly.

Unloading of indoor unit body
When you unload the indoor unit, please use your hand to arise the body to leave agraffe, then lift the bottom of the body outward slightly and lift the unit aslant until it leaves the mounting plate.

4 Connecting the indoor/outdoor Electric Cable
Removing the wiring cover
- Remove terminal cover at right bottom corner of indoor unit, then take off wiring cover by removing its screws.

When connecting the cable after installing the indoor unit
- Insert from outside the room cable into left side of the wall hole, in which the pipe has already existed.
- Pull out the cable on the front side, and connect the cable making a loop.

When connecting the cable before installing the indoor unit
- Insert the cable from the back side of the unit, then pull it out on the front side.
- Loosen the screws and insert the cable ends fully into terminal block, then tighten the screws.
- Pull the cable slightly to make sure the cables have been properly inserted and tightened.
- After the cable connection, never fail to fasten the connected cable with the wiring cover.



Note
When connecting the cable, confirm the terminal number of indoor and outdoor units carefully. If wiring is not correct, proper operation can not be carried out and will cause defect.

- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualified person. The type of connecting wire is H05RN-F or H07RN-F.
- If the fuse on PC board is broken please change it with the type of T. 3.15A/250V.
- The wiring method should be in line with the local wiring standard.
- After installation, the power plug should be easily reached.
- A breaker should be incorporated into fixed wiring. The breaker should be all-pole switch and the distance between its two contacts should be not less than 3mm.
Outdoor unit
Installation of Outdoor Unit
Install according to Drawing for the installation of indoor and outdoor units
2 Connection of pipes
- To bend a pipe, give the roundness as large as possible not to crush the pipe, and the bending radius should be 30 to 40mm or longer.
- Connecting the pipe of gas side first makes working easier.
The connection pipe is specialized for R410A.
Half union
Flare nut
Forced fastening without careful centering may damage the threads and cause a leakage of gas.

Spanner
Torque wrench
| Pipe Diameter(ø) | Fastening torque |
| Liquid side6.35mm(1/4") | 18N.m |
| Liquid/Gas side9.52mm(3/8") | 42 N.m |
| Gas side 12.7mm(1/2") | 55N.m |
| Gas side 15.88mm(5/8") | 60 N.m |
Be careful that matters, such as wastes of sands, etc. shall not enter the pipe. The standard pipe length is 5m . If it is over 7m , the function of the unit will be affected. If the pipe has to be lengthened, the refrigerant should be charged, according to 20g / m . But the charge of refrigerant must be conducted by professional air conditioner engineer. Before adding additional refrigerant, perform air purging from the refrigerant pipes and indoor unit using a vacuum pump, then charge additional refrigerant.

CAUTION


Max.Elevation: Amax=10m
- In case the elevation A is more than 5m, oil trap should be installed every 5-7m
- Max. Length: Bmax=15m
- In case the pipe length B is more than 7m, the refrigerant should be charged, according to 20 g/m.
3 Connection
- Use the same method on indoor unit. Loosen the screws on terminal block and insert the plugs fully into terminal block, then tighten the screws.
- Insert the cable according to terminal number in the same manner as the indoor unit.
- If wiring is not correct, proper operation can not be carried out and controller may be damaged.
Fix the cable with a clamp.
4 Attaching Drain-Elbow
If the drain-elbow is used, please attach it as figure. (Note: Only for heat pump unit.)

5 Purging Method:To use vacuum pump
- Detach the service port's cap of 3-way valve, the valve rod's cap for 2-way valve and 3-way's, connect the service port into the projection of charge hose (low) for gaugemanifold. Then connect the projection of charge hose (center) for gaugemanifold into vacuum pump.
- Open the handle at low in gaugemanifold, operate vacuum pump. If the scale-moves of gausse (low) reach vacuum condition in a moment, check 1. again.
- Vacuumize for over 15min. And check the level gauge which should read -0.1MPa (76 cm Hg) at low pressure side. After the completion of vacuumizing, close the handle 'Lo' in gaugemanifold and stop the operation of the vacuum pump. Check condition of the scale and hold it for 1-2min. If the scale-moves back in spite of tightening, make flaring work again, the return to the beginning of 3.
-
Open the valve rod for the 2-way valve to an angle of anticlockwise 90 degrees. After 6 seconds, close the 2-way valve and make the inspection of gas leakage.
-
No gas leakage?
In case of gas leakage, tighten parts of pipe connection. If leakage stops, then proceed 6. steps
If it does not stop gas leakage, discharge whole refrigerants from the service port. After flaring work again and vacuumize, fill up prescribed refrigerant from the gas cylinder.
- Detach the charge hose from the service port, open 2-way valve and 3-way. Turn the valve rod anticlockwise until hitting lightly.
- To prevent the gas leakage, turn the service port's cap, the valve rod's cap for 2-way valve and 3-way's a little more than the point where the torque increases suddenly.
- After attaching the each caps, check the gas leakage around the caps.




CAUTION
- If the refrigerant of the air conditioner leaks, it is necessary to discharge all the refrigerant. Vacuumize first, then charge the liquid refrigerant into air conditioner according to the amount marked on the name plate.
- Please do not let other cooling medium, except specified one (R410A), or air enter into the cooling circulation system. Otherwise, there will be abnormal high pressure in the system to make it crack and lead to personal injuries.
1 Power Source Installation
- The power source must be exclusively used for air conditioner. (Over 10A)
- In the case of installing an air conditioner in a moist place, please install an earth leakage breaker.
- For installation in other places, use a circuit breaker as far as possible.
2 Cutting and Flaring Work of Piping
- Pipe cutting is carried out with a pipe cutter and burs must be removed.
After inserting the flare nut, flaring work is carried out.
