Indoor unit installation Indoor unit installation Refrigerant pipe work must be done before installing the indoor unit. Location Access for servicing is an important factor in the location of any air handler. Provide a minimum of 30 inches (762 mm) in front of the appliance for access to the control box, heating elements, blower and air filters.
Page 15
Locate appliance where control wiring can be easily routed to the controller and where the wiring will not be damaged. Locate appliance where refrigerant lines can be easily routed from the evaporator coil to the system. Locate the appliance where condensate lines can be easily routed to an available drain. Be sure to route condensate drain piping so as not to obstruct access to the air filter.

Page 17
Typical Closet Installations Provisions shall be made to permit the air in the rooms and the living spaces to return to the air handler. Failure to comply may cause a reduction in the amount of return air available to the blower, causing reduced air flow resulting in improper heating and cooling of the living space.
Page 18
Indoor unit installation Horizontal right application (left to right) The unit is shipped to be installed without modification in a right to left configuration. For left to right applications: Remove the unit access panels Remove the cooling coil after disassembling bracket coil and plate. Move the condensate drain pan to the right side of the unit chassis.
Page 19
How to change the position of the wires Please change the position of the refrigerant detection sensor as shown in the image below. Please proceed with the fixing way of the wires according to the position of the drain pan as shown in the image below. Use a cable tie to attach the refrigerant detector wires to the third hairpin turn on the coil.
Page 20
Indoor unit installation Closet installation Prior to installing the air handler make sure holes are cut into the floor for refrigerant tubing, drain line, electrical wiring, and control wiring. Remove the top shipping cover and corner posts. Remove the bottom shipping cover. Remove the blower and control box access panel (door).
Refrigerant piping NOTE • The evaporator coil liquid and suction pipes are closed and comes filled with high pressure nitrogen. Before opening the liquid and suction pipe ends you must first release the high pressure nitrogen using the service port on the suction pipe.
Performing leak test & insulation Performing leak test & insulation Leak test LEAK TEST WITH NITROGEN (before opening valves) To detect basic refrigerant leaks, before creating a vacuum and circulating the R-32, its the responsibility of the installer to pressurize the whole system with nitrogen (using a pressure regulator) at a pressure above 29.0 PSI (0.2 MPa), less than 594.7 PSI (4.1 MPa) LEAK TEST WITH R-32 (after opening valves) Before opening valves, discharge all the nitrogen in the system and create a vacuum.
Page 23
Insulation Once you have checked that there are no leaks in the system, you can insulate the piping and hose. • To avoid condensation problems, place 0.51” (T13.0mm) or thicker Acrylonitrile Leak check Butadien Rubber separately around each refrigerant pipe. •...
Performing leak test & insulation Select the insulation of the refrigerant pipe. • Insulate the gas side and liquid side pipe referring to the thickness according to the pipe size. • Indoor temperature of 86 °F(30 °C) and humidity of 85% is the standard condition. If install in a high humidity condition,use one grade thicker insulator by referring to the table below.
Drain pipe installation The air handler “A” coil drain pan has two ¾” NPT (Φ19.05mm) female primary and two secondary connections (left or right hand). The horizontal pan has two ¾” NPT (Φ19.05mm) females, one primary and one secondary. Piping from each fitting used is to have 2 inches (50.8mm) minimum trap and each runs in such a manner as to provide enough slope for adequate drainage to a visible area.
Water leakage test Water leakage test Pour water into the condensate pan. Make sure that draining is done properly by checking end of the drain pipe. If water leakage occurs, make sure the indoor unit is level. Also verify the drain pipe is installed with a downward slope away from the indoor unit.
Wiring Work WARNING • For personal safety be sure to turn the electrical power “OFF” at the main entrance (Home Circuit Breaker Box) and at the unit control box circuit breakers before attempting any service or maintenance operations. Homeowners should never attempt to perform any maintenance which requires opening the air handler control box door.

Wiring Work Power supply wiring with accessory electric heat kit Before wiring work, you must turn off all power source. Indoor unit power should be supplied through the breaker (ELCB or MCCB+ELB ) separate from the outdoor power. ELCB : Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker MCCB : Molded Case Circuit Breaker ELB : Earth Leakage Breaker Only copper power cables should be used.
Page 29
Carefully pass the accessory heating element through the rectangular opening in the discharge of the air handler and secure the heating element with the screws from step 8. Heating element support rod must be seated in the hole on the opposite side of the discharge.
Page 30
Wiring Work 18 Remove the wiring diagram from the accessory heat kit. Remove the paper that covers the adhesive back and place the electric heat wiring diagram over the wiring diagram located on the blower housing. Route temperature sensor from the accessory electric heat kit to the lower section of the AHU cabinet. Attach the sensor to the bottom of the suction pipe as shown below with included wire ties.
Page 31
Power supply connections If the air handler has been installed prior to installing the electric heaters or if an older unit is being replaced, the supply power wires must be checked to make sure the wires are the proper sizes to handle the current load for the heaters. Refer to table below for correct wire size.
