ACDC12B Solar Air Conditioner Heat Pump Installation Manual Before installing or using your solar air conditioner, please print and read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference. Notice To Owner/Installer This unit is designed for easy installation by an experienced person. It is legal for a homeowner to install it, however we highly recommend using a licensed HVAC technician for installation.
INSTALLERS, Please read the following warnings to prevent voiding warranties: WARNING: Make sure the PV panels are wired in PARALLEL, NOT SERIES. Verify voltage is within range prior to connecting to the ODU DC breaker. WARNING: Voltage from breaker box to ODU disconnect should be 220V (measured between L1 and L2.) See page 13, figure 24.

Rooftop installation: If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof structure, be sure to level the unit. Ensure the roof structure and anchoring method is adequate for the unit location. Consult local codes regarding rooftop mounting. Recommended Tools For Installation: Level gauge Hex Wrench 5mm Screwdriver...
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Indoor unit installation 1. Fit the Installation Plate Fit the installation plate horizontally on a structurally sound part of the wall with spaces around the installation plate. If the wall is made of brick, concrete or the like use anchor bolts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Never intercross or intertwist the power wire Connective Pipe and Drainage Installation with any other wiring. 6. Run the drain hose sloping downward. Do not install the drain hose as illustrated in Fig.7. When connecting extension drain hose, insulate the connecting part of extension drain hose with a shield pipe, do not let the drain hose slack.
Outdoor Unit installation Outdoor installation precaution Install the outdoor unit on a rigid base to prevent increasing noise level and vibration. Determine the air outlet direction where the discharged air is not blocked. In the case that the installation place is exposed to strong wind such as a seaside, make sure the fan operating properly by putting the unit lengthwise along the wall or using a dust or shield plates.
REFRIGERANT PIPE CONNECTION 4. Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length. B: Burr removal Installation of Outdoor Unit 1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut Anchor the outdoor unit with a bolt and cross section of pipe/tube. nut # 10 or # 8 tightly and horizontally 2.
Electrical work Electric safety regulations for the initial Installation 1. If there is serious safety problem about the power supply, the technicians should refuse to install the air conditioner and explain to the client until the problem is solved. 2. Power voltage should be in the range of 90%~110%of rated voltage. 3.

Connecting the cable to the indoor unit NOTE: Before performing any electrical work, turn off the main power to the system. 1. The inside and outside connecting cable can be connected without removing the front grille. 2. The indoor power cord type is H05VV-F or H05V2V2-F, the outdoor power cord and interconnected cord type is H07RN-F.
ELECTRICAL WORK Installation of the solar photovoltaic system This guide contains information regarding the installation and safe handling of solar photovoltaic module. All instructions should be read and understood before attempting to install. If there is any question, please contact our support department for further explanation. The installer should conform to all the safety precautions listed in this guide when installing the module.

When disconnecting wires from a photovoltaic module that is exposed to sunlight, an electric arc may result. Such arcs may cause burns, combustion and may otherwise create problems. Therefore, be extremely careful! Photovoltaic solar modules convert light energy to direct-current electrical energy. They are designed for outdoor use.
Page 17
Solar modules produce electrical energy when light strikes on their front surface. The DC voltage may exceed 30V. If modules are connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual module voltages. If modules are connected in parallel, the total current is equal to the sum of individual module currents.

When performing installation in dry conditions, please ensure the tools used are dry. Fig 34 Abide with the safety regulations for all other components used in the system, including wiring and cables, connectors, charge c o n t r o l l e r s , inverters, storage batteries and rechargeable batteries, etc.

Electrical installation General installation Do not use modules of different configurations in the same system. The solar photovoltaic array consists of modules connected in parallel, no more than 3 modules can be used in parallel. Modules in parallel can increase the output current of the solar photovoltaic system, especially for applications requiring high currents, low voltages.

GROUNDING PRINCIPALS Equipment grounding provides protection from shock caused by a ground fault and is required for all PV systems by the NEC. A ground fault occurs when a current-carrying conductor comes into contact with the frame or chassis of an appliance or an electrical box.
AIR PURGING Air purging Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below: Pressure in the system rises. Operating current rises. Cooling or heating efficiency drops. Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing. Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.
