Installation Manual

PRECAUTION

Precautions  before  reading  the  installation 
manual.
1. This  installation  manual is for the outdoor
    unit.
2. Refer to the indoor unit installation manual
    for indoor parts installation.
3.Please read the power source unit installation 
   manual to install the power source unit .
4. Please  refer  to the  refrigerant distributor 
    installation manual to install the refrigerant
    distributor.

IMPORTANT CHECKING POINTS DURING INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

Confirm  the  model  and  name  of  your air
conditioner to avoid installation mistakes.

REFRIGERANT PIPING

Separately purchased refrigerant distribu-
tor (branch connection, header branch 
pipe) should be used in the process or
refrigerant piping.
Refrigerant piping should meet the specifi-
ed diameters.
Charge nitrogen under  certain  pressure in
the refrigerant piping before welding.
Refrigerant piping should undergo the heat
insulation process.
After the installing refrigerant piping, do not
electrify the indoor unit before the airtight 
test and vacuum. 

AIRTIGHT TEST

Refrigerant  piping  must  be tested for gas 

2

proof [2.94Mpa(30kg/cm ) nitrogen]

VACUUM

Vacuum pump must be used, and vacuum-
ing should  be done from the gas side and 
liquid side simultaneously.

ADD REFRIGERANT

When the actual pipe  length is  longer  than
the base length,the every outdoor unit added
refrigerant volume is decided on the
calculating  according to the actual  length 
of  pipes.
Fill  the  form on  the outdoor unit  electric 
control  box  with  the added volume, length 
of pipes  (actual length)  and  the relative  
height  drop  between outdoor unit and indoor
unit.

WIRING

Choose

 

power

 

capacity and wire

 

diameter

according to 

the 

design

 

manual.The

 

power

 

cord

 

of the

 

air  conditioner  should be wider

than the power cord of ordinary motor. 
Never

 

enwind

 

or

 

cross

 

the

 

power

 

cord 

(380V~) with

 

signal wire (low voltage) 

between indoor and outdoor unit, or malfunction is unavoidable. 
Connect  the  indoor  unit  to the power after airtight test and vacuuming.

INSTALLATION LOCATION

CAUTION:

There is combustible gas leakage existing.
There  is  much  oil  (including engine oil) 
ingredient.

1. Please  keep  away  from  the  following 
    place, or  malfunction   of   the  machine 
    may be caused:

There  is  salty  air  surrounding(near the 
coast)
There is caustic gas (the sulfide, for exa-
mple) existing in the air (near a hotspring).
A place the heat air expelled out from the
outdoor  unit  can  reach your neighbor's 
window.
A  place  that  the  noise  interferes your 
neighbors every day life.
A  place  that  is  too  weak  to  bear  the 
weight of the unit.
Uneven place.
Insufficient ventilation place.
Near  a  private  power   station  or  high 
frequency equipment.

2. The insulation  of  the metal parts of the 
    building  and  the  air conditioner should 
    comply  with  the regulation  of  National 
    Electric Standard. 

1. Enough  repairing  space  showing below 
    should  be  left  during  installation. When 
    install  the  outdoor  unit,  set  the  power 
    equipment  at   the  side  of  the  outdoor 
    unit, please refer  to  the  power  equipm-
    ent installation manual.
2. Be sure to left  enough room for installat-
    ion and maintenance. (See Fig. Below)

          2. The top of any pile around the outdoor
unit should at least 400mm below the unit top.

REFRIGERANT PIPING

1. Please remove the  left-hand  board first for 
    the connection of the refrigerant piping is ins-
    ide the outdoor unit.(M6: 4; M4:1)
2. The pipe can be lead out through the down-
    left corner of the front of the outdoor unit or
    the soleplate gap.
3. When through out of the front, lead the pipe 
    out by wiring from the panel,and install the 
    refrigerant distributor at left or at right.

4. After through out of the soleplate, install 
    the refrigerant distributor at left,right or 
    rear direction. 

5. When through out from the front, seal the so-
    leplate gap with the rubber board to keep the
    dust and rubbish out of the unit.

Piping

Make  sure  there  is  no  any dirt  or  water 
before connecting the piping to the outdoor 
Units.
Wash the piping with high pressure nitrogen,
never use refrigerant of the outdoor unit.

Remove Dirt or Water in the Piping

Airtight Test

Charge pressured nitrogen after connecting
indoor unit/outdoor unit piping  to do airtight
test.

2

1. Pressured nitrogen [2.94MPa (30kg/cm )]
    should be used in the airtight test.
2. Tighten  high  pressure/low  pressure 
     valves before applying pressured nitrogen.
3. Apply pressure from air vent mouth on the
    high pressure/low pressure valves.
4. The high pressure/low pressure valves 
    are closed when applying pressured nitrogen.
5. The  airtight  test  should  never  use  any 
    oxygen, flammable gas or poisonous gas.

Air Purge with Vacuum Pump

Open All Valves

Refrigerant Amount to be Added

Using vacuum pump to do the vacuum,never 
using refrigerant to expel the air .
Vacuuming should be done from both liquid 
side and gas side simultaneously.

Calculate the added refrigerant according  to the 
diameter  and  the length  of  the  liquid  side
pipe  of the outdoor unit/indoor unit connection.

TEST RUNNING

The test running can not begin until the outdoor unit has been connected to the power for 12hr.

1. Sling the outdoor unit and carry it in with  
    4 steel wire (

f

6mm or more)

2. Use soft board to protect the unit surface 
    from scratch and distortion at where contact
    the steel wire.
