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.

  Installation Of Remote Controller

  Power Source And Operation Test

3

 The remote controller can be placed in its holder which is 

 xed on wall or beam.

 To operate the remote controller at its holder, please ensure 

that the unit can receive signal transmitted from the controller 
at the place where the holder is to be  xed. The unit will beep 
when signal is received from the remote controller. The signal 
transmission is weaken by the  uorescent  light.  Therefore, 
during the installation of the remote control holder, please 
switch on the light, even during day time, to determine the 
mounting location of the holder.

Power Source

CAUTION

!

 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

 THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE 

EARTHED.

WARNING

!

 Recommend to use 

R410A  aring tool.

CAUTION

!

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.

Wiring Of The Indoor Unit

  For wire connection of the Indoor unit, you need to 

remove front panel and electrical cover.

Method to remove front panel

  Refer to “FINAL STAGE OF INSTALLATION – How to 

Remove The Front Cover”.

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

 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.

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. (Be sure to use R410A detector)

 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

.

 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.

How to remove the Front Cover

 1  Remove the front panel.

 

Pull up the front panel 

  

by holding it at both lower 

  

sides with both hands.

 

When the front panel full 

  

open, pull the inner part of 

  

the right arm outward and 

  

pull the panel forward while 

  

closing it gradually. 

 2  Remove the pre- lters.

 

Push upward to release the claws and pull out the Pre-
 lter.

 3  After removing two caps and two screws, rotate the 

horizontal louver towards you a bit. Then, pull the center 
of the front cover to release the claws.

 4  Pull the side faces (lower sections) of the front cover 

towards you as shown in the  gure and remove the cover.

How to attach the Front Cover

Check to ensure that the drain pan is securely attached.

To install the front cover onto the unit, push two points 
from the center to lock the two claws in the direction as 
shown in the image below. Then, hook the four claws at 
upper side of the front cover securely. 

Tighten the two screws, then attach the two caps.

Install the pre- lters.

5    Slide the shafts on the left then on the right arms of the 

front panel along the step on the front cover. Please insert 
the shafts into the holes untill they stop. After checking 
the shafts are securely inserted, close the front panel.
