  • Page 4  Lightning and other electromagnetic radiation sources may affect the operation of the unit. During these conditions, disconnect the power supply and then power on after the influence has been eliminated.  The operation parameters and protection device settings have been set during production; these settings must only be changed by a qualified engineer with understanding of their usage as incorrect settings could disable the unit’s protection features leading to damage of the unit.
  • Page 5: How Air Conditioners Work

    HOW AIR CONDITIONERS WORK COOLING MODE The compressor (6) in the external unit compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high- pressure gas. When this gas flows along the cooling fins of the condenser (7), heat is exuded and the gas condenses into a liquid, which is then led to the evaporator (1) in the indoor unit. The liquid expands into a gas at a low temperature and low pressure.
