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.

  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.

Screw

Insulating plate

Cord band

Securely screw in the power cord and connecting cord so that it will not get 
loose or disconnect.
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.
