Installation
Connecting the Refrigerating Pipe other than at the back
of the Indoor Unit
Insert the pipe through the wall hole.
The upper part of the Indoor unit is hung on the hanger.
The projection at the lower part of the Indoor unit is
hooked onto the hanger.
After the refrigerating pipe is connected, cover the pipe
connection with the auxiliary insulation sheet, which has
been removed on earlier stage, with its split line on the top.
Wrap the tape without any space.

Wrap the pipe connection with tape so that there is no
gap between heat insulation sheet.
Insert the drain hose and fresh air in exhaust hose into
the wall hole. Especially in case of horizontally backward
piping, insert the hose following the explanation below.
Connect the connecting cord. (Refer to "Connection of
Power Cord" on Page 12)
Form connecting cord and refrigerating pipe and put them
in the space on the lower side of the rear surface of the
indoor unit. Fix them with the pipe support.
Remove the temporary stand under the indoor unit and fit
the lower part of the indoor unit in the fixing tab on the
mounting plate.

Remove of Air from the Pipe and Gas Leakage Inspection
As shown in figure on the right, remove the cap
of valve head and valve core and then connect

them to the vacuum pump and manifold valve.
Fully tighten the "Hi" shuttle of the manifold valve
and completely unscrew the "Lo" shuttle. Run

the vacuum pump for about 10-15 minutes, then
completely tighten the "Lo" shuttle and switch off
the vacuum pump.
Completely unscrew the spindle of the service
valve (at 2 places) in anti-clockwise direction to

allow the flow of coolant (using Hexagonal
Wrench key).
Remove the Charge hose and tighten the cap of

valve head. The task is then completed.
Gas Leakage Inspection
Please use gas leakage detector to check if leakage
occurs at the connection of Flare nut as shown on the
right.
If gas leakage occurs, further tighten the connection to
stop leakage.

If the bottom of the indoor unit cannot be pushed due to
the member such as horizontal rail above the head jamb,
remove the front cover and insert a screwdriver into the
hole for removal of indoor unit. Then,
upwards while holding down the upper part of the hole and
pull the indoor unit towards you. When horizontal piping
is used, be careful not to damage the pipe and F cable
with the tip of the screwdriver during this operation.
Please refer to page 16 on how to remove the front cover.
If the pipe support is installed on the left side viewing from
the front of the indoor unit, remove the lower side of the
pipe support.

Drainage Check
After the indoor unit is installed, Please ensure the smooth
flow of condensed water of the Indoor unit during
installation. (Careless work may result in water leakage.)
During drainage work, install the drain
pipe to ensure smooth drainage. Make
sure to carry out drainage check.
( C a r e l e s s w o r k m a y r e s u l t i n w a t e r

• Please mount the outdoor unit on stable ground to
prevent vibration and increase of noise level.
• Decide the location for piping after sorting out the
different types of pipe available.
• Open the side plate by unscrewing the screws as

Pipe Connection
• In case of removing flare nut of an indoor unit, first remove a nut of small diameter side, or a seal cap of big
diameter side will fly out. Prevent water from entering into the piping when working.
• Please be careful when bending the copper pipe.
• Screw in manually while adjusting the centre. After that, use a torque wrench to tighten the connection.

Connecting Cord
The naked part of the wire core should be 10mm and fix it to the
terminal tightly. Then try to pull the individual wire to check if the
contact is tight. Improper insertion may burn the terminal.
Be sure to use only power cables approved from the authorities
in your country.
Please refer to the installation manual for wire connection to the
terminals of the units. The cabling must meet the standards of
WARNING
electrical installation.
There is an AC voltage of 220-240V between the L and N
terminals. Therefore, before servicing, be sure to remove the
plug from the AC outlet or switch off the main switch.
Do not make any conection in the middle of the connecting
cable. It may cause the wire overheating, emit smoke and fire.
Wiring of the Indoor Unit
For wire connection of the indoor unit, you need to
remove front panel and electrical cover.

Wiring of the Outdoor Unit
• Please remove the side cover for wire connection.
• If you cannot attach the side cover due to the connecting

causes short circuit or faults.
• The connecting cord should not touch to service valve
and pipes. (It becomes high temperature in heating
operation.)
Checking for the electric source and the voltage range
• Before installation, the power source must be checked
and necessary wiring work must be completed. To
make the proper wiring capacity, use the wire
