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 or more.
CAUTION
●
Do not expose the unit under direct sunshine or rain. Besides,
ventilation must be good and clear of obstruction.
●
The air blown out of the unit should not point directly to animals
or plants.
●
The clearances of the unit from top, left, right and front are
speci
fi
ed in
fi
gure below. At least three of the above sides must
be open air.
●
Be sure that the hot air blown out of the unit and noise do not
disturb the neighbourhood.
●

fl
ammable gas, steam,
oil and smoke.
●
The location must be convenient for water drainage.
●
Place the outdoor unit and its connection wire at least 1m away
from the antenna or signal line of television, radio or telephone.

Installation of Hanger, 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 REFRIGERATING PIPES AFTER CONNECTION
●
The refrigerating pipes should be adjusted to fit
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.
!
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.
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. (Improper installation 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,
Air with high humidity
fl
ows
from outdoor may cause
dew drop.
!
WARNING
●
The refrigerating pipes and connecting cord
arrangement are attached.
●
The end of the refrigerating pipes are at locations
marked with “
” symbol.
Installation of Drain Hose

Installation
Hang the Indoor unit onto the mounting plate. Use the temporary
stand at the back of the Indoor unit to push its lower part
15cm forwards.
●
Place the drain hose through the hole on the wall.
●
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.

Tools Needed For Installation Work
●
Please request your s
ales ag
ent 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, may cause water leakage or unit collapse, electric shock
and
fi
re may occur.
●
When installing or removing an air conditioner, only speci
fi
ed refrigerant (R-22) 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 leading to
possibility of unit rupture.
●
Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while operating. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with
fi
re, 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., poisonous gas may occur.
●
Unauthorized modi
fi
cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If breakdown occurs please call quali
fi
ed air conditioner
technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock,
fi
re, etc.
WARNING
CAUTION
The connection of insulated
drain hose.
Please use insulated drain
hose for the indoor piping
(commercial product).
The indoor piping should be
insulated with the enclosed
insulation pipe. (If the
insulator is insufficient,
please use commercial
products).

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).
●
Remove the cap for
drain hose installation
!
CAUTION
Condensed water
may leak out if not
inserted properly.
●
A circuit breaker or fuse (10A 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 location where there is
fl
ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch
fi
re if
fl
ammable gas leaks around it.
●
Do not install the indoor unit in a machine shop or kitchen where vapor from oil or its mist
fl
ows to the indoor unit. The oil
will deposit on the heat exchanger, thereby reducing the indoor unit performance and may deform and in the worst case,
break the plastic parts of the indoor unit.
●
Please ensure smooth
fl
ow of water when installing the drain hose.
●
Piping shall be suitably supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.
