Removal Of Air From The Pipe And Gas Leakage Inspection

Gas Leakage Inspection

Please use gas leakage detector to check 
if leakage occurs at the connection of Flare 
nut as shown on the right.

If gas leakage occurs, further tighten the 
connection to stop leakage. (Use the 
detector provided for R410A)

Procedures of using Vacuum Pump for Air Removal

As shown in right  gure, remove the cap of 
valve core. Then, connect the charge hose. 
Remove the cap of valve head. Connect the 
vacuum pump adapter to the vacuum pump 
and connect the charge hose to the adapter.

Fully tighten the “Hi” knob of the manifold 
valve and completely unscrew the “Lo” knob. 
Run the vacuum pump for about 10~15 
minutes, then completely tighten the “Lo” 
knob and switch off the vacuum pump.

2

Remove the charge hose and tighten the cap 
of valve core. Check the cap’s periphery if 
there is any gas leakage. 

3

Completely unscrew the spindle of the 
service valve (at 2 places) in anti-clockwise 
direction to allow the  ow of refrigerant (using 
Hexagonal Wrench key).

Re-cap the service valve and tighten using 
wrench. Check the cap’s periphery if there is 
any gas leakage. The task is then completed.

   Preparation of Pipe

1

 Use a pipe cutter to cut 

  the copper pipe.

 Jagged edge will cause leakage.

 Point the side to be trimmed downwards during trimming to prevent copper 

chips from entering the pipe.

 Before  aring, please put on the  are  nut.

In case of removing  are nut of an Indoor unit,  rst remove a nut 
of small diameter side, or a seal cap of big diameter side will  y 
out. Prevent water from entering into the piping when working.

When the meter reaches - 101KPa 
(-76cmHg) during pumping, fully 
tighten the shuttle.

When pumping starts, slightly loosen the 
 are nut to check of air sucked in. Then 
tighten the  are  nut.

WARNING

 If you cannot attach the side cover due to the connecting cord, 

press the connecting cord in direction to the front panel to  x  it.

 Be sure that the hooks of the side cover is  xed in certainly. 

Otherwise water leakage may occur and this causes short circuit 
or faults.

  The connecting cord should not touch to service valve and pipes. 

(It becomes high temperature in heating operation.)

Checking for the electric source and the voltage range

 Before installation, the power source must be checked and necessary wiring work 

must be completed. To make the wiring capacity proper, use the wire gauges list 
below for the lead-in from a pole transformer and for the wiring from a switch board 
of fuse box to the main switch and outdoor unit in consideration of the locked rotor 
current.

  Investigate the power supply capacity and other 

electrical conditions at the installation location.

  Depending on the model of room air conditioner 

to be installed, request the customer to make 
arrangements for the necessary electrical work 
etc.

  The electrical work includes the wiring work 

up the outdoor. In localities where electrical 
conditions are poor, use of a voltage regulation 
is recommended.

 

 THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Procedures of Wiring

Wiring of The Outdoor Unit

 Please remove the side cover for wire connection.

!

In case that power is supplied from Outdoor Unit

Earth terminal

N C D

Power supply shall be connected at the rated voltage, otherwise the unit will be 
broken or could not reach the speci ed  capacity.

L

 The naked part of the wire core should be 10 mm and  x it to the terminal 

tightly. Then try to pull the individual wire to check if the contact is tight. 
Improper insertion may burn the terminal.

  Be sure to use only power cables approved from the authorities in your country. 

For example in Germany: Cable type: NYM 3x1.5mm

2

 Please refer to the installation manual for wire connection to the terminals of 

the units. The cabling must meet the standards of electrical installation.

 There is a AC voltage of 230V between the L and N terminals. Therefore, 

before servicing, be sure to remove the plug from the AC outlet or switch off 
the main switch.

Insulation And Maintenance Of Pipe Connection

1

 The connected terminals should be completely sealed with heat insulator and 

then tied up with rubber strap.

 Please tie the pipe and power line together with vinyl tape as shown in the 

 gure showing the installation of Indoor and Outdoor units. Then  x  their 
position with holders.

 To enchance the heat insulation and to prevent water condensation, please 

cover the outdoor part of the drain hose and pipe with insulation pipe.

 Completely seal any gap with putty.

  Power Source And Operation Test

Power Source

!

 Please use a new socket. Accident may occur due to the use of old socket 

because of poor contact.

 Please plug in and then remove the plug for 2 – 3 times. This is to ensure 

that the plug is completely plugged into the socket.

 Keep additional length for the power cord and do not render the plug under 

external force as this may cause poor contact.

 Do not  x the power cord with U-shape nail.

Operation Test

 Please ensure that the air conditioner is in normal operating condition during 

the operation test.

 Explain to your customer the proper operation procedures as described in 

the user’s manual.
