* Make sure the rubber bushes are Properly used in knock-out holes after connecting main Power cable UU18W/UU18WE/UU24WE UU24W/UU30W CAUTION • The circuit diagram is not subject to change without notice. • Be sure to connect wires according to the wiring diagram.
LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION Air and moisture remaining 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.
LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION Indoor unit Do a leakage test of all joints of the tubing (both Indoor unit and outdoor unit) and Outdoor unit both gas and liquid side service valves. Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off the soap with a clean cloth.
TEST RUNNING TEST RUNNING Precautions In Test Running - The initial power supply must provide at least 90% of the rated voltage. Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated. CAUTION • For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heating season. If heating oper- ation is carried out firstly, it leads to the trouble of compressor.

TEST RUNNING CAUTION After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows: Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram pasted on the inside of control box cover. Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.
