Evacuation of the Equipment

WHEN INSTALLING AN AIR CONDITIONER, BE SURE TO EVACUATE THE AIR INSIDE THE INDOOR UNIT AND
PIPES in the following procedure.
1 Connect a charging hose with a push pin to the Low side of a charging set and the service port of the 3-way
valve.
2 Connect the micron gauge between vacuum pump and service port of outdoor units.
3 Turn on the power switch of the vacuum pump and make sure that connect digital micron gauge and to pull
down to a value of 500 microns.
4 To make sure micron gauge a value 500 microns and close the low side valve of the charging set and turn off
the vacuum pump.
5 Disconnect the vacuum pump house from the service port of the 3-way valve.
6 Tighten the service port caps of the 3-way valve at a torque of 13.3 Ibf•ft (18 N•m) with a torque wrench.
7 Remove the valve caps of both of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve. Position both of the valves to "Open"
using a hexagonal wrench (5/32" (4 mm)).
8 Mount valve caps onto the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
o

If micron gauge value does not descend 500 microns, take the following measures:
- If the leak stops when the piping connections are tightened further, continue working from step 3.
- If the leak does not stop when the connections are retightened, repair location of leak.
- Do not release refrigerant during piping work for installation and reinstallation.
-
Be careful with the liquid refrigerant, it may cause frostbite.

Connect the Cable to the Outdoor Unit

1 Remove control board cover (Plastic and Metal), follow by particular plate (for E18*** model).
2 Remove top panel, follow by Control Board Cover (Plastic and Metal) (for E12*** model).
3 Remove plugs.
4 Fix the conduit connectors to the knockout holes with lock-nuts, then secure them against the side panel.
5 All wires pass through conduits & particular plate's opening hole.
6 Connecting wire between indoor unit and outdoor unit should be UL listed or CSA approved 4 conductor
wires minimum AWG16 in accordance with local electric codes.
7 Wire connection to the power supply (208/230V 60Hz) through circuit breaker.
Connect the UL listed or CSA approved wires minimum AWG14 (for E12***) and AWG12 (for E18***) to
o
the terminal board, and connect the other end of the wires to ELCB / GFCI.
8 Connect the power supply cord and connecting wire between indoor unit and outdoor unit according to the
diagram below.

same conduit but the power supply
for the outdoor unit must be in a
separate conduit to prevent potential
communication problems.
