Working principle and special functions for cooling

Principle:

Air conditioners absorb heat in the room and transmits it to the outdoor unit, so that indoor ambient temperatures are decreased. Its cooling capacity will increase or decrease according to outdoor ambient temperature.

Anti-freezing function

If the unit is running in COOL mode and in low ambient temperature, frost may be formed on the heat exchanger. When indoor heater exchanger temperature decreases below zero, the indoor unit microcomputer will stop the compressor running to protect the unit.

Working principle and special functions for heating

Principle:

* Air conditioners absorb heat from outdoors and transmit it to the indoor unit, increasing room temperature. Heating capacity will decrease in lower ambient temperatures.

Defrosting:

* When outdoor temperature is low but high humidity, frost may form on the outdoor unit during extended operation, affecting heating efficiency. The air conditioner operation may stop for 8-10mins during auto defrosting function.
* During the auto defrosting, the fan motors of indoor unit and outdoor unit will stop.
* During auto defrosting, the indoor indicator flashes and the outdoor unit may emit vapour. This is not a malfunction.
* After defrosting has finished, the heating operation will recover automatically.

Anti-freezing function:

In "HEAT" mode, if in the following situations, the operation of indoor unit maybe delayed until the heat exchanger has achieved a certain temperature.

(Within 3mins)

1. Heating starts. 2. After Auto defrosting finished. 3. Heating under the low temperature.

Troubleshooting

Warning

The air conditioner is not user serviceable. Incorrect repair may cause electric shock or fire, so please contact an Authorized Service Center for professional repair. Following checks prior to contact may save your time and costs.

Symptom	Troubleshooting
Air conditioner does not run if attempt to immediately restart after a stop.	To protect the air conditioner upon immediate restart after a stop, the microcomputer controller will delay the unit for 3 minutes before the air conditioner will run.
Air conditioner blows out bad smell when it is initially started.	The air conditioner itself has no bad smell. If a bad smell has been accumulated from the environment, clean the air filter.If smells persist, contact your Approved Service Centre to arrange cleaning.
You may hear “Water Flowing” noise	When the air conditioner is started, or the compressor is started or stopped during running or the air conditioner is stopped, sometimes you may hear fluid gurgling noises. This is not a fault - it is the sound of flowing refrigerant.
Sometimes a thin mist will flow out of the outlet when air conditioner is running under cooling mode.	This might occur when indoor temperature and humidity are high. This is because the indoor air is quickly cooled down. After a period of time, the mist will disappear with the decrease of indoor temperature and humidity.
You may hear a slight cracking sound when the air conditioner is started or stopped.	This is the sound of friction caused by expansion nd/or contractiona of panel or other parts due to the change of temperature.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Troubleshooting
The unit will not run	Has the power been shut down?Has the circuit breaker device tripped off?Have the wiring or connections been damaged?Please report to an authorised air conditioner contractor.Is the Timer correctly used?
Cooling(Heating) efficiency is not good.	Is Temp. setting suitable?Are inlet and outlet vents obstructed?Is there too much dust accumulated and obstructing the filter?Are the windows and doors closed?Is the fan speed set at low speed?Are there any other heat sources in the room?

2. Take off wire clamp, connect and fix power connect cord to terminal of line bank. Wiring should fit that of indoor unit.
3. Fix the power connection cable with wire clamp, for cooling and heating unit, then use the wire clamp to fix the signal control wire, then connect the corresponding connector.
4. Ensure if wire has been fixed well.
5. Replace access plate (either right hand side or front) on the outdoor unit.

NOTE:

• Incorrect wiring may cause unit failure.
• After the cable has been fitted, make sure there is free space between the connection and fixing place on the lead wire.

Air purging and leakage test

● Air purging and leakage test

1. Connect charging hose of manifold valve to charge end of low pressure valve (both high/low pressure valves must be tightly shut).
2. Connect joint of charging hose to vacuum pump.
3. Fully open handle of Lo manifold valve.
4. Open the vacuum pump to evacuate. At the beginning, slightly loosen joint nut of low pressure valve to check if there is air coming inside. (If noise of vacuum pump has been changed, the reading of multimeter is 0) Then tighten the nut.

5. Keep evacuating for more than 15mins and make sure the reading of multi-meter is -1.0 × 10^5 pa (-76cmHg).

6. Fully open high/low pressure valves.

7. Remove charging hose from charging end of low pressure valve.
8. Tighten bonnet of low-pressure valve. (As shown in Fig.5)

Installing the Outdoor Unit

● Leak hunting

Use soapy graste detection meter to check whether the joints are leaking.

Fig.6

Outdoor condensation drainage (Heat pump type only)

When the unit is heating, the condensing water and defrosting water can be drained out reliably through the drain hose.

Installation: Install the outdoor drain elbow in ∅ 25 hole on the base plate, and attach the drain hose to the elbow, so that the waste water formed in the outdoor unit can be drained out satisfactorily.
