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 figure showing the installation of 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.

  Installation Of Remote Controller

  Power Source And Operation Test

3

The remote controller can be placed in its holder which is
fixed 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 fixed. The unit will beep
when signal is received from the remote controller. The signal
transmission is weaken by the fluorescent 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 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.

The controller must
be hooked onto the
hook at the lower
part of the holder.
Push in the remote

Procedures of using Vacuum Pump for Air Removal

As shown in right figure, 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” shuttle of the manifold valve and completely unscrew the
“Lo” shuttle. Run the vacuum pump for about 10–15 minutes, then completely
tighten the “Lo” shuttle and switch off the vacuum pump.

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

Remove the charge hose and tighten the cap of valve head. 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.

How to Remove The Front Cover

Recommend to use
R410A flaring tool.

CAUTION

!

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

1

Remove the front panel.

Please remove and attach the front panel by both hands.

After opening the front panel by both hands.

Undo the right arm while pushing it inside.

Slide the front panel to right as shown in figure. Then
remove while pulling it to front.

How to Attach the Front Cover

After covering the front cover to the unit, certainly hook at
the upper portion (three places). Then, check that the drain
pan is certainly attached. Push the center of front cover in
the direction of arrow.

Fix the front cover at lower portion by screws and attach
the caps.

Attach the front panel.

Certainly insert the left shaft of the front panel to the hole
of the front cover. Next insert the right shaft as same as
the left.

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”.

Method to remove electrical cover

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

The naked part of the wire core should be 10 mm and 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 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.
