●
A circuit breaker or fuse (16A time delay) must be installed. Without a circuit breaker or fuse the danger of electric shock exists.
A main switch with a contact gap of more than 3mm has to be installed in the power supply line to the outdoor unit.
●
Do not install the unit near a location where there is
fl
ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch
fi
re if
fl
ammable gas leaks around it.
●
Please ensure smooth
fl
ow of water when installing the drain hose.
●
Piping shall be suitable supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.

SAFETY PRECAUTION
●
Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.
●
The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.

WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
●
Please request your sales agent or quali
fi
ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or
fi
re may occur if
you do the installation work yourself.
●
Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may
cause water leakage, electric shock and
fi
re.
●
Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not,
the units may collapse and impose danger.
●
Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when
dealing with the electrical work. Use power cables approved by the authorities of your country.
●
Be sure to use the speci
fi
ed wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight
after the conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating
and
fi
re.
●
Please use the speci
fi
ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage, electric shock
and
fi
re may occur.
●
Be sure to use the speci
fi
ed piping set for R-410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.
●
When installing or removing an air conditioner, only speci
fi
ed refrigerant (R410A) shall be allowed, do not allow air or moisture
to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a
rupture may be caused.
●
Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with
fi
re, a poisonous
gas may occur.
●
After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas
leaks into the room, coming into contact with
fi
re in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
●
Unauthorized modi
fi
cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a quali
fi
ed air
conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and
fi
re, etc.
FOR SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY
THE CHOICE OF MOUNTING SITE
(Please note the following matters and obtain permission from customer before installation).
WARNING
!
●
The unit should be mounted at stable, non-vibratory location which can provide full support to the unit.
CAUTION
!
●
No nearby heat source and no obstruction near the air outlet is allowed.
●
The clearance distances from top, right and left are speci
fi
ed in
fi
gure below.
●
The location must be convenient for water drainage and pipe connection with the Outdoor unit.
●
To avoid interference from noise please place the unit and its remote controller at least 1m from the radio, television and
inverter type
fl
uorescent lamp.
●
To avoid any error in signal transmission from the remote controller, please put the controller far away from high-frequency
machines and high-power wireless systems.
●
The installation height of indoor unit must be 2.3m.

CAUTION
•
The installation height of indoor
unit must be 2.3m or more.
Direction of Piping
There are 6 directions allowed, namely,
horizontally perpendicular to the unit,
vertically down from right, horizontally
out from right and horizontally out to left.
Don’t form the piping downward at the
left of the unit.
Be sure to
completely
seal any
gap with
putty.
The connection of insulated drain hose.
Please use insulated drain hose for
the indoor piping (commercial product).
●
The connecting pipe, no matter
big or small, should all be
insulated with insulation pipe
and then wrapped with vinyl tape.
(The insulator will deteriorate if it
is not wrapped with tape).
The indoor piping should
b e i n s u l a t e d w i t h t h e
enclosed insulation pipe. (If
the insulator is insuf
fi
cient,
please use commersial
products).

Installation of Mounting Plate, Wall Penetration and Installation of Protection Pipe
1
CAUTION
!
●
The draining of the water container inside the indoor unit can be done from the left.
Therefore the mounting plate must be
fi
xed horizontally or slightly tilted towards the
side of drain hose. Otherwise, condensed water may over
fl
ow the water container.
Direct Mounting On The Wall
●
Please use hidden beams in the wall to hold the mounting plate.
Wall Penetration and Installation of Protection Pipe
●
Drill a ø 65mm hole on
wall which is slightly tilted
towards the outdoor side.
Drill the wall at a small
angle.
●
Cut the protection pipe
according to the wall
thickness.
●
Empty gap in the sleeve
of protection pipe should
be completely sealed with
putty to avoid dripping of
rain water into the room.
Installation of the Indoor Unit
2
VERTICALLY DOWNWARD PIPING
Preparation
●
Connect connecting cord.
●
Pull out the pipe, connecting cord and drain hose.
Installation
●
The upper part of the Indoor unit is hanged on the mounting plate.
●
The projection at the lower part of the Indoor unit is hooked onto the mounting plate.
Please pull the lower part of
the Indoor unit outwards to
check if the unit is hooked
onto the mounting plate.
Improper installation may
cause vibration and noise.
!
CAUTION
HORIZONTAL PIPING
Preparation
Change of Drain Hose and Installation Procedures.
●
Exchange the location of drain hose and drain cap during horizontal piping as shown in
fi
gure below. Be sure to plug in the drain hose until the insulating material folds upon
itself.
●
Please use pliers to pull out the drain cap.
(This is an easier way to remove the drain cap).
INSTALLATION OF REFRIGERATING PIPES AFTER CONNECTION
●
The refrigerating pipes should be adjusted to
fi
t
into the hole on the wall and then ready for further
connection.
●
The terminals of 2 connected pipes must be covered
with insulator used for terminal connection. Then the
pipes are wrapped with insulation pipe.
●
Connect the connecting cord after removing electrical
cover. (Refer to “CONNECTION OF POWER CORD”)
●
After adjustment,
fi
t the connecting cord and pipes
into the space available under the indoor unit. Use
holder to hold them tight.
!
CAUTION
●
The rubber strap used for
fi
xing the insulator should
not be tied with great force.
Otherwise, this will damage
heat insulation and causes
water condensation.
●
Holder can be attached at the either of 2 places.
Please select the easier position.
THE CONNECTION OF REFRIGERATING PIPE DURING THE
INSTALLATION OF INDOOR UNIT
Preparation To Install Refrigerating Pipes
!
CAUTION
●
Please
fi
x in the plastic core
after
fl
aring to avoid plastic
chips entering the pipes.
CAUTION
!
You are free to choose the side (left or right) for the installation of drain
hose. Please ensure the smooth
fl
ow of condensed water of the Indoor
unit during installation. (Carelessness may result in water leakage.)
!
CAUTION
Be sure that the
drain hose is not
loosely connected
or bend.
Be sure that the wire is not
in contact with any metal
in the wall. Please use
the protection pipe as wire
passing through the hollow
part of the wall so as to
prevent the possibility of
damaged by mouse.
Unless it seals completely,
any air with high humidity
flows from outdoor and
any dew may drop.
!
WARNING
●
The refrigerating pipes and connecting cord
transform and are attached.
●
The end of the refrigerating pipes are at locations
marked with “
” symbol.
Installation of Drain Hose

●
Wrap the refrigerating pipes with insulation pipe after connecting
refrigerating pipe.
●
Connect the connecting cord after removing electrical cover.
(Refer to “Connection of Power Cord”)
●
After adjustment, the connecting cord and refrigerating pipes
are placed into the space available under the Indoor unit.
●
The projection of Indoor unit must hook to the mounting plate.

gure. Then smoothen the edges of
openings with a
fi
le.
●
Turn the piping while holding down the lower
portion of pipe-support by hand.
