●
Need a connecting work for refrigerant pipe, drain pipe and connecting cable in the ceiling
after suspending the indoor unit. Arrange drain pipe, refrigerant pipe and connecting cable
in their installation position.
●
For
fi
nishing of opening on ceiling, arrange with builder in detail.
●
If ceiling is already completed, connecting cables between indoor and outdoor, piping and
drain piping must be done before
fi
tting indoor unit.
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.
●
In case drain piping cannot be done smoothly due to obstacles, it can also be arranged
outside of the main unit as shown in the drawing below.
!
CAUTION
●
The rubber strap used for fixing the
insulator should not be tied with great force.
Otherwise, this will damage heat insulation
and causes water condensation.
Connecting the pipe to the indoor unit
Remove the
fl
are nut and seal cap.
By loosening the
fl
are nut at the pipe end, the refrigerant is discharged in a small amount.
The arrangement has been made for shipment, and the discharge of refrigerant is never a
trouble to the equipment.
When the
fl
are nut is removed, never fail to remove the seal cap. If not removed, the
refrigerant will not be circulated, which result the compressor drive motor will possibly be burnt.
Apply refrigerator oil to the union and the
fl
ared portion of the pipe.
Wrap
fl
are insulation, bind top and bottom
fl
are insulation by binder.
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.
!
CAUTION
Connecting of drain pipe
●
Securely glue connection part of
drain hose and PVC pipe, using PVC
adhesive.
●
If gluing of drain hose and PVC pipe
is too weak, water leakage may occur.
Be sure to wrap generally-available
insulator (10mm or more of foamed
polyethylene) around drain hose,
inside the house, for insulation heat.
●
Checking drain and water leakage.
Perform after connecting power.
●
If checking of drainage is omitted,
water drop may occur.
●
Add water to water pan of indoor unit
as shown below.
●
Perform test running of drain pump
to check drainage operation.
