The traditional conventional air conditioners repeat "the start" and "the stop" during the thermostat cycle off and causes the room temperature to be unstable. Incorporating fuzzy logic control into the McQuay Inverter design enables greater flexibility in handling the system control.

Page 26
Figure 1 B) OUTDOOR UNIT As condensing temperature rises, evaporating temperature rises and cooling capacity drops. In order to achieve maximum cooling capacity, the location selected for outdoor unit should fulfill the following requirements: • Install the condensing (outdoor) unit in such a way that hot air distributed by the outdoor condensing unit cannot be drawn in again (as in the case of short circuit of hot discharge air).
Page 27
• A place capable of bearing the weight of the outdoor unit and isolating noise and vibration. • A place protected from direct sunlight. Otherwise use an awning for protection, if necessary. • The location must not be susceptible to dust or oil mist. 2.
Page 28
CAUTION : • If the condensing unit is operated in an atmosphere containing oils(including machine oils), salt(coastal area), sulphide gas(near hot spring, oil refinery plant), such substances may lead to failure of the unit. • If there is any obstacle higher than 2m, or if there is any obstruction at the upper part of the unit, please allow more space than the figure indicated in the above table.
Page 29
4. INDOOR UNIT PREPARATION • The refrigerant piping can be routed to the unit in 5 directions, by using the cut outs in the unit casing. • Carefully bend the pipes to the required position to align with the hole. For right hand and rear side draw out, hold the bottom of the piping and fix direction before shaping it to the desired position.
Page 30
7. CONDENSED WATER DISPOSAL OF OUTDOOR UNIT (HEAT PUMP UNIT ONLY) • There are 2 holes on the base of Outdoor Unit for condensed water to flow out. Insert the drain elbow to one of the holes. • To install the drain elbow, first insert one portion of the hook to the base (portion A), then pull the drain elbow in the direction shown by the arrow while inserting the other portion to the base.

10. SPECIAL PRECAUTION FOR R410A SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN DEALING WITH REFRIGERANT R410A UNIT 1) WHAT IS NEW REFRIGERANT R410A? R410A is a new HFC refrigerant which does not damage the ozone layer. The working pressure of this new refrigerant is 1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant (R22), thus proper installation / servicing is essential.
Page 35
d) When charging R410A, ensure that only liquid is being withdrawn from the cylinder or can. This is to ensure that only the original composition of R410A is being delivered into the system. The liquid composition can be different from the vapor composition. Invert cylinder Dip-pipe without dip-pipe...

11. VACUUMING AND CHARGING PURGING THE PIPING AND THE INDOOR UNIT Except for the outdoor unit which is pre-charged with refrigerant, the indoor unit and the refrigerant connection pipes must be air-purged because the air containing moisture that remains in the refrigerant cycle may cause malfunction of the compressor.

Warning • Disconnect from the main power supply before servicing the air conditioner unit. • DO NOT pull out the power cord when the power is ON. This may cause serious electrical shocks which may result in fire hazards.

By means of diagnostic flow chart: Generally, there are two kinds of problems, i.e. starting failure and insufficient cooling/heating. “Starting failure” is caused by electrical defect while improper application or defects in refrigerant circuit causes “Insufficient cooling / heating”. i) Diagnosis of Electric Circuit The most common causes of air conditioner failure to “start”...
Page 42
ii ) Diagnosis of Refrigerant Circuit / Application There might be some causes where the unit starts running but does not perform satisfactorily, i.e. insufficient cooling. Judgement could be made by measuring temperature difference of indoor unit’s intake and discharge air as well as running current.

Normal Running Mode Condition (Applicable to Inverter System Only) If the air conditioner unit has no faulty indications and the compressor is running at normal mode, the outdoor P.C.Board’s LED indication will blink at a slower paste. The table below shows the significant meaning of different running mode and limitation for this air conditioner unit.
