1. INTRODUCTION TO REFRIGERANT R407C ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY The Montreal Protocol regulation calls for the phase-out of HCFCs by the year 2030 to prevent the ozone layer from further depletion. R407C is an environment friendly refrigerant to replace R22. The operating characteristics of R407C system bears close similarity to that of R22.

MODEL : A4LC 30/40/50C, A4LC 30/40/50CR All dimensions in mm Sharp edges and coil surfaces may cause injury. Wear protective Caution gloves when handling the unit.
5. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN DEALING WITH REFRIGERRANT R407C UNIT What is new refrigerant R407C? R407C is a zeotropic refrigerant mixture which has zero ozone depletion potential and thus conformed to the Montreal Protocol regulation. It requires Polyol ester oil (POE) oil for its compressor's lubricant.

Ensure that the compressor is not expose to open air for more than the recommended time specified by its manufacturer (typically less than 10 minutes). Removed the seal-plugs only when the compressor is about to be brazed. The system should be thoroughly vacuumed to 1.0 Pa (-700mmHg) or lower. This vacuuming level is more stringent than R22 system so as to ensure no incompressible gas and moisture in the system.
6. INSTALLATION Caution Sharp edges and coil surface are potential injury hazard. Avoid from contact with them. (1) INSTALLATION OF INDOOR UNIT For installation of indoor unit, please refer to the indoor unit technical manual. (2) INSTALLATION OF OUTDOOR UNIT As condensing temperature rises, evaporating temperature rises and cooling capacity drops.

INSTALLATION CLEARANCE • Outdoor units must be installed such that there is no short circuit of the hot discharge air or obstruction to smooth air flow. Select the coolest possible place where intake air should not be hotter than the outside temperature (max. 45°C) Minimum Distance Series I 150 mm...
(4) WIRING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS • Wiring regulations on wire diameters differ from country to country. Please refer to your LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES for field wiring rules. Be sure that installation comply with such rules and regulations. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS • Ensure that the rated voltage of the unit corresponds to the name plate before carrying out proper wiring according to the wiring diagram.

Caution R407C must be charged as liquid. Usually R407C cylinder is equipped with a dip-pipe for liquid withdrawal. If there is no dip-pipe, the cylinder should be inverted so as to withdraw liquid R407C from the valve. Caution Do not top-up when servicing leak, as this will reduce the unit performance. Vacuum the unit thoroughly and then charge the unit with fresh R407C according to the amount recommended in the specification.

Caution Avoid prolong exposure of an opened compressor, or the internal part of refrigerant piping to moist air. The POE oil in the compressor and piping can absorb moisture from air. (7) OVERALL CHECKING • Ensure the following, in particular : 1) The unit is mounted solidly and rigid in position.
7. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE Caution Disconnect from Main Supply before Servicing the air conditioner The unit is designed to give a long life operation with minimum maintenance required. However, it should be regularly checked and the following items should be given due attention. Components Maintenance Procedure Recommended Schedule...
Page 19
PRE-START UP MAINTENANCE (AFTER EXTENDED SHUTDOWN) Inspect thoroughly and clean indoor and outdoor units. Clean or replace air filters. Clean condensate drain line. Clean clogged indoor and outdoor coils. Check fan imbalance before operation. Tighten all wiring connections and panels. Check for refrigerant leakage The design of the outdoor series allows servicing to be carried out readily and easily.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING When any air-conditioner malfunction is noted, immediately switch off the power supply to the unit, and contact the local dealer, if necessary. Some simple troubleshooting tips are given below : FAULT CAUSE • Protection against the frequent starting. Wait 3 or 1.

The most common causes of air conditioner failure to “start" are:- a) Voltage not within ±10% of rated voltage. b) Power supply interrupted. c) Control settings improper. d) Air conditioner is disconnected from main power source. e) Fuse blown or circuit breaker off. II) DIAGNOSIS OF REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT / APPLICATION There might be some cases where the unit starts running but does not perform satisfactory, i.e.
