Insulation And Maintenance Of Pipe Connection
1
The connected terminals should be completed sealed with
heat insulator and then tied up with rubber strap.
Please tie the pipe and power line together with plastic tape
as shown in the figure of installation of both the indoor and
outdoor units. Then fix 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.
Earth Line And Circuit Breaker

Power Source And Operation Test
3
The earth line terminal of the outdoor unit is below the
service valve.
To avoid short circuit, it is necessary to install circuit breaker
depending on the mounting location of the unit.
Do not place earth line near the following objects:
(1) Water pipe
(2) Gas pipe — There is danger of catching fire.
(3) The earth line of lightning conductor and telephone —
short circuit may occur during lightning.
Power Source
Do not make extension to the power cord.
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 fix 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.

Use a pipe cutter to cut the pipe and remove burr.
CAUTION
Remove burr
If burr is not removed, it may cause leakage.
Point the side to be trimmed downwards during trimming to prevent copper
chips from entering the pipe.
Remove the flare nut from the pipe of the indoor unit by removing the flare nut (female
side) with a spanner while holding down the half union (male side) with a spanner.
Do not crush the pipe while bending it.
Apply refrigerant oil on the connection part. After carrying out the center alignment
and manual tightening of the flare nut, tighten the flare nut securely with a torque
wrench (spanner).

Please use exclusive tool for refrigerant R410.
When removing flare nut of the indoor unit, first remove the nut of small diameter
side.
Prevent water from entering into the piping when connecting.
Be sure to tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
If the flare nut is overtightened, it may split after sometime and may cause refrigerant leak.
When using a control valve, make sure that the packing is not deteriorated and
avoid excessive tightening of the handle. Otherwise, gas may leak from the service
valve.
* Tightening torque must be as shown in the table below.
From the viewpoint of global environment
protection, air purge type should be vacuum
pump method.
1
Remove the valve head cap
of the service valve.
Remove the cap of valve core
and connect the charge hose.
Connect the vacuum pump
adapter to the vacuum pump
and connect the charge hose
to the adapter.
Loosen the spindle of the service valve with small diameter
by 1 / 4 turn and tighten the spindle immediately after 5 to 6
seconds.
Remove the charging hose from the service valve.
Unscrew the spindle of both the
service valves in anticlockwise
direction to allow the flow of
refrigerant (unscrew halfway).
Tighten the cap of valve head.
Check and make sure that there
is no gas leakage.
Fully tighten the “ Hi ” shuttle of the
manifold valve and completely unscrew
the “Lo” shuttle. Run the vacuum pump.
(Adapter is switched on)
Make sure the meter
reaches -0.1MPa (-76cmHg)
during pumping.
Closed
When pumping starts, slightly loosen
the flare nut to check if air sucked in.

From the viewpoint of global environment protection, refrigerant
should be recovered (pumped down) when the air conditioner is
transferred or removed.
Perform force-cooling operation for about 5 minutes as a
preliminary operation.
Tighten the spindle of the service valve at small diameter side in
clockwise direction.
Continue the force-cooling operation for another 1-2 minutes, and
then tighten the spindle of the service valve at large diameter side
in clockwise direction.
Stop the force-cooling operation.
Gas Leakage Inspection
Please use gas leakage detector
to check if leakage occurs at
connection of Flare nut as shown
on the right.
If gas leakage occurs , further tighten the
connection to stop leakage. (Be sure to use
R410A detector.)
After pumping for about 10 -15 minutes,
completely loosen the “ Lo ” shuttle and
switch off the vacuum pump . (Adapter is
switched off)
Otherwise the nut of big diameter side will fly out.
WARNING
Detail of Cutting the Connecting Cord
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord (Maker’s service parts) available from the manufacturer
or its service agent.
•
The naked part of the wire core should be 10mm fix 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 wire specified for the use of air-conditioner.
•
Please refer to the manual for wire connection, the wiring technique should meet the standard of the electrical
installation.
•
Leave some space in the connecting cord for maintenance purpose and be sure to secure it with the cord band.
•
Secure the connecting cord along the coated part of the wire using the cord band. Do not exert pressure on the wire as this
may cause overheating or fire.
•
There is a AC voltege of 220V between the 1 and 2(N) terminals. Therefore, before servicing, be sure to remove the plug from
the AC outlet.
CAUTION
•
For wire connection of the Indoor unit, you need to remove the front cover, the low cover
under the body of the unit and terminal cover.
•
Remove the cover from the terminal base and screw the cable.

Tightening torque reference value: 1.2 to 1.6 N
·m (12 to 16 kgf·cm)
Excessive tightening may damage the interior of the cord requiring replacement.
When putting two connecting cords
through the band.
WARNING
After wiring the indoor unit, make sure to reattach the
terminal cover.
Wiring of the Outdoor Unit
Please remove the side cover and terminal cover for wiring connection.
WARNING
•
The connecting cord must be fix with cord band
Otherwise rain water may enter and cause short circuit. Besides, an external
forcemay apply to the connection part of the connecting cord and could result
in heat and fire.
•
The terminal cover and side cover must be installed after work is
done.

CONDENSED WATER DISPOSAL OF OUTDOOR UNIT
•
There is holes on the base of Outdoor unit for condensed water to exhaust.
•
In order to flow condensed water to the drain, the unit is installed on a stand or a
block so that the unit is 100mm above the ground as shown figure. Join the drain
pipe to one hole.
•
Cover the drain hole with a drain cap. To install the drain cap, put it on the drain hole
After installation, check whether the drain pipe and drain cap cling to the base firmly.
•
Install the outdoor unit horizontally and make sure that condensate drains away.
