TAKE NOTE OF FUSE SPECIFICATIONS The air conditioner's circuit board (PCB) is designed with a fuse to provide overcurrent protection. The specifications of the fuse are printed on the circuit board, for example : T3.15AL/250V AC, T5AL/250V AC, T3.15A/250V AC, T5A/250V AC, T20A/250V AC, T30A/250VAC,etc.
Page 7
NOTE The nouns in this section are explained as follows: Mc: The actual refrigerant charge in the system. A: the actual room area where the appliance is installed. Amin: The required minimum room area. Mmax: The allowable maximum refrigerant charge in a room. Qmin: The minimum circulation airflow.
Page 8
Note: Take the Mc S.Okg as an example. For appliances serving one or more rooms with an air duct system, the room area calculation shall be determined based on the total area of the conditioned space (TA) connected by ducts taking into consideration that the circulating airflow distributed to all the rooms by the appliance integral indoor fan will mix and dilute the leaking refrigerant before entering any room.

a. The minimum test pressure for the low side of the system shall be the low side design pressure and the minimum test pressure for the high side of the system shall be the high side design pressure, unless the high side of the system can not be isolated from the low side of the system in which case the entire system shall be pressure tested to the low side design pressure.

9. No ignition sources No person carrying out work in relation to a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM which involves exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept at a sufficient distance from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space.
Page 13
14. Detection of flammable refrigerants Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch(or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for refrigerant systems.
Page 14
16. Charging procedures In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed: Works shall be undertaken with appropriate tools only (In case of uncertainty, please consult the manufacturer of the tools for use with flammable refrigerants) Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment.
Page 15
19. Recovery When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available.
Page 16
21. Transportation, marking and storage for units that employ flammable refrigerants a. General The following information is provided for units that employ FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS. b. Transport of equipment containing flammable refrigerants Attention is drawn to the fact that additional transportation regulations may exist with respect to equipment containing flammable gas.

WARNING There must be an airtight seal between the bottom of the air handler and the return air plenum. Use fiberglass sealing strips, foil duct tape, caulking, or equivalent sealing method between the plenum and the air handler cabinet to ensure a tight seal. Return air must not be drawn from a room where this air handler or any gas-fueled appliance (i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide-producing device (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.
