RECEIVING AND INSPECTING THE UNITS • To prevent damage during movement or transportation, do not remove the units from their packaging until they arrive at the final installation location. • Prevent ropes, chains or other equipment from leaning on the units. •...
INSTALLATION General Recommendations First of all, consult the applicable standards or regulatory codes for installing the equipment in the selected location to ensure that the envisages system is compliant with these standards and regulations. In addition, prepare a careful plan of the positions of the units to prevent possible interference with any kind of pre-existing (or scheduled) equipment or facilities, such as electrical installations, water mains, sewerage systems, etc.
Installing the Indoor Units 4.3.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Before performing the installation, read these instructions carefully to ensure that you are familiar with the specifications of the unit. The dimensions and weight of the unit can be found in the cover page. The rules presented below are applicable to all installations: a) Prepare a careful plan of the positions of the units to prevent possible interference with any kind of pre-existing (or scheduled) equipment or facilities, such as electrical installations,...

4.3.2 PLACEMENT AT THE LOCATION a) The unit must only be installed at the following positions: Horizontal under the ceiling, vertical on the wall. (See Fig. 5 and 6). b) The unit’s position must permit the uniform circulation of air throughout the entire environment (Fig.
Page 8
4.3.3 REMOVING THE SIDES • Fig. 9 shows the position of the screws to be removed to disassemble the plastic sides of the indoor unit. • To access the two screws indicated by the number , it is necessary to remove the air filters from the ends.

4.3.5 DRAINING OF THE CONDENSATE Depending on whether the unit is installed on the wall (console) or ceiling (underceiling), the pipes for draining off the condensate and also the interconnection pipes must be routed differently. Fig. 11, 12 and 13 show the installations on the wall and ceiling and where these pipes must be routed, as well as where it is necessary to break the indentation in the right-hand side cover of the indoor unit.
Page 10
To guarantee efficient drainage: a) Ensure that the unit is level, with a slight inclination towards the drainage side - approximately 2 (Fig. 14). b) The unit uses gravity drainage. However, the drainage pipe must have a downward slope. Avoid the situation shown in Fig.
INTERCONNECTION PIPES Suspending and Mounting the Interconnection Pipes Always insist that the interconnection pipes are fixed appropriately by means of supports or crossbeams, preferably both. Insulate them using circular neoprene rubber and then wrap finishing tape around them (Fig. 16). IMPORTANT !!! Since the expansion system is located in the outdoor unit, it is necessary to create the...
Since the interconnection pipes are created on site, it is essential to clean and evacuate the pipes and the indoor and outdoor units. NOTE ATTENTION !!! Cleaning must be performed by circulating Never load liquid into the suction service nitrogen through the pipes of the system. valve.
Gap Between the Units In the event that there is a gap of more than IMPORTANT !!! 5m in the level of the units and the indoor unit is at the lower level, a siphon for a 3m The equivalent length limits and gap gap must be installed in the suction pipe (see indicated for the units must be respected.

To make the connection between the Remove the flange nut from the unit and refrigerant pipes of the respective service position it with care in the copper pipe. Create valves, proceed as follows: the flange at the end of the pipe using a flange.
EXPANSION SYSTEM For the capacities 20,000 to 30,000 Btu/h, the expansion is performed via a capillary located in the outdoor unit. For 40,000 Btu/h and above, the expansion is performed in the indoor unit by means of a system called the “piston”. NOTE The expansion system kit accompanies the indoor unit models 40, 50 and 60,000 Btu/h and...
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND DIAGRAMS Between the Units Electrical Installation Instructions For all indoor connections (between the units) and outdoor connections (power supply and unit), low-voltage electrical installations must be observed. The main power supply and control cables must be made of copper and/or aluminium, with PVC-type insulation for a minimum temperature of 70 The maximum distance between the two voltage points is 50m.
Electrical wiring Depending on whether the unit is installed on the wall (console) or the ceiling (underceiling), the electrical wiring of the indoor unit must be routed differently. Fig. 24 shows the positions where the existing indentation in the left-hand side cover of the indoor unit must be broken to route the wiring.

CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM The indoor units leave the factory configured for cooling only. If a cooling and heating system is installed, it is necessary to change the configuration of the equipment. The installer is able to configure the system used in the user interfaces (wireless or wired remote control).
Configuring the Unit • Check all the electrical connections (instructions and diagram of the electrical connections). • Insert the batteries into the remote control and leave it disconnected. • Connect the system to the electrical current. • Press the button of the remote control and keep them pressed down for at least 5 seconds.
Configuring the Wireless Remote Control • Insert the batteries into the remote control and leave it disconnected. • Connect the system to the electrical current. • Press the button the remote control and keep them pressed down for at least 5 seconds.
Configuring the Wired Remote Control (CRC) To enter the system configuration: • Keep the buttons pressed down (at the same time) for 5 seconds, while the CRC is in off mode. After 5 seconds, a “20” appears; this shows that the user is adjusting the first item in the software configuration.
Page 27
Configuration Item 10 - The CRC permits and displays the following modes: Disconnected (off), Ventilation (fan), Automatic (auto), Cold (cool), Dehumidification (dry) and Hot (heat). - The CRC permits and displays the following modes: Disconnected (off), Ventilation (fan), Cold (cool) and Dehumidification (dry). Configuration Item 11 On - Cancellation of the active environment sensor.
Selecting the DEFLECTOR mode (louver) To enter the deflector model selection: • Check that the CRC is ON and keep the button pressed down for 5 seconds. Then the selected setting of the deflector is displayed. • Pressing the buttons permits the user to modify the setting of the deflector between oscillating and auto.
Selecting the Addresses of the Units If the two indoor units are being installed in the same room and it is desired that they should operate independently, it is necessary to provide an individual address for each unit, so that each of them can function by means of its own remote control.
Error Codes In normal operation, the green LED, indicated by the signal receiver symbol is illuminated. When a malfunction occurs in the unit, the LED will flash at 5-second intervals. The error code is shown by the number of times the LED flashes. A pause of 5 seconds between the cycles in which the LED flashes.
60,000 Btu/h units) 4) Distance and vertical Refer technical spec For greater distances, consult your Carrier gap between the units representative. Before starting up the unit, observe the above conditions and the following items: • Check that all of the electrical connections are securely connected;...
