3. Do not place animals and plants in the path of the warm air. 4. Take the weight of the air conditioner into account and select a place where noise and vibration are minimum. 5. Select a place where the warm air and noise from the air conditioner do not disturb neighbors.
Ø12.7mm(1/2") Ø6.35mm(1/4") Indoor unit Outdoor unit CAUTION: Capacity is based on standard length and maximum allowance length is on the basis of reliability. Oil trap should be installed every 16.4~23feets (5~7 meters). 14 Room Air Conditioner Standard Length Evap m(ft) 7.5(25)
Preparing Work for Installation Open panel front 1. Pull the upper part of the front panel. 2. Lift up the panel. 3. To detach the front panel, remove the two screws at the lower part. 4. Detach the front panel from the body. 5.
Drill the piping hole at either the right or the left with the hole slightly slanted to the outdoor side. 16 Room Air Conditioner 2. Look at suited horizon by horizontal meter on the horizontal setting line, and fix lightly the map by adhesive tape.
Flaring Work Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure. Cutting the pipes and the cable. 1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased locally. 2.
CAUTION: If the drain hose is routed inside the room, insulate the hose with an insulation material* so that dripping from "sweating"(condensation) will not damage furniture or floors. *Foamed polyethylene or equivalent is recommended. 18 Room Air Conditioner Smooth all round Inside is shiny without scratches = Improper flaring =...

For right piping. Follow the instruction below. Good case • Press on the upper side of clamp and unfold the tubing to downward slowly. Bad case • Following bending type from left to right may cause damage to the turbing. 20 Room Air Conditioner...
Connecting the Piping Connection Of Piping -Outdoor Put a couple drops of refrigerant oil on the face of the flare before assembling taking care not to add any contaminants. Align the center of the pipings and sufficiently tighten the flare nut by hand. Finally, tighten the flare nut with torque wrench until the wrench clicks.
Power Supply AWG(MIN) Power Model source 9k/12k 1Ø, 115V 22 Room Air Conditioner Wiring Diagram Indoor Unit Terminal (4P) L1 is neutral for 115V models. NOTICE 2. Separately wire the high and low voltage line. 3. Use heat-proof electrical wiring capable of withstanding temperatures up to 167°F(75°C).

After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows: 1) Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control cover.
Checking the Drainage To check the drainage. 1. Pour a glass of water on the evaporator. 2. Ensure the water flows through the drain hose of the indoor unit without any leakage and goes out the drain exit. Drain piping 1.
2. Secure the taped piping along the exterior wall. Form a trap to prevent water entering the room. 3. Fix the piping onto the wall by saddle or equivalent. 26 Room Air Conditioner Seal small openings around pipings with a gum type sealer. Taping...
Air Purging Air purging The air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below. 1. Pressure in the system rises. 2. Operating current rises. 3. Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops. 4. Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing. 5.
5. Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid side service valves and fasten them tight. This completes air purging with a vacuum pump. The air conditioner is now ready to test run. 28 Room Air Conditioner 2-way valve...
Charging Each outdoor unit is factory charged (nameplate charge) for the evaporator as well as a 7.5m(25ft) line set. Any time a line set is used either shorter or longer then the nominal 7.5m(25ft) line set length the refrigerant charge has to be adjusted. Whether the line set is made shorter or longer you must adjust the charge based on how many ft of tubing are either added or removed based on 20g(0.22oz) of R-410A per meter(foot).
2. Assemble connecting lead wire with controller, fix the upper part of panel front, and match the lower part of panel front. 3. Screw up panel front, and suspend the hook of panel front in the groove. 30 Room Air Conditioner Panel Front Connector...
3. Ensure the difference between the intake temperature and the discharge is more than 46.4°F(8°C) 4. For reference; the gas side pressure of optimum condition is as below.(Cooling) The air conditioner is now ready for use. Bolt Tubing connection Intake temperature Discharge air...
