WARNING
The naked part of the wire core should be 10 mm and À x 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. For example in Germany: Cable type: NYM
3x1.5mm

.
Please refer to the installation manual for wire connection to
the terminals of the units. The cabling must meet the standards
of electrical installation.
There is a AC voltage of 230V 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.
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 wiring capacity proper,
use the wire gauges list below for the lead-in from a pole transformer
and for the wiring from a switch board of fuse box to the main switch
and outdoor unit in consideration of the locked rotor current.

Insulation And Maintenance Of Pipe Connection
The connected terminals should be completely sealed with
heat insulator and then tied up with rubber strap.
Please tie the pipe and power line together with vinyl tape
as shown in the À gure showing the installation of Indoor and
Outdoor units. Then À x their position with holders.
To enchance the heat insulation and to prevent water
condensation, please cover the outdoor part of the drain hose
and pipe with insulation pipe.
Completely seal any gap with putty.

Power Source And Operation Test
Power Source
CAUTION
Please use a new socket. Accident may occur due to the
use of old socket because of poor contact.
Please plug in and then remove the plug for 2 – 3 times.
This is to ensure that the plug is completely plugged into
the socket.
Keep additional length for the power cord and do not
render the plug under external force as this may cause
poor contact.
Do not À x the power cord with U-shape nail.

Wiring Of The Indoor Unit
For wire connection of the Indoor unit, you need to
remove front panel and electrical cover.
Method to remove front panel
Refer to "FINAL STAGE OF INSTALLATION – How to
Remove The Front Cover".
Method to remove the low cover
Pull the cover at
1
and
shown by arrows to remove the cover.
After remove the screw
and cover, and put the
connecting cords and À x
the cover with screw.

Installation Of Remote Controller
The remote controller can be placed in its holder which is
À xed on wall or beam.
To operate the remote controller at its holder, please ensure
that the unit can receive signal transmitted from the controller
at the place where the holder is to be À xed. The unit will beep
when signal is received from the remote controller. The signal
transmission is weaken by the Á uorescent light. Therefore,
during the installation of the remote control holder, please
switch on the light, even during day time, to determine the
mounting location of the holder.
The remote controller
must be slide in
the remote controller
holder, in the direction
as shown in the À gure,
until it hooks at the
lower end of the remote
controller holder.
Screw (2 pieces)
Operation Test
Please ensure that the air conditioner is in normal operating
condition during the operation test.
Explain to your customer the proper operation procedures
as described in the user's manual.

Removal Of Air From The Pipe And Gas Leakage Inspection
Procedures of using Vacuum Pump for Air Removal
As shown in right À gure, remove the cap of valve core. Then, connect the charge hose.
1
Remove the cap of valve head. Connect the vacuum pump adapter to the vacuum pump
and connect the charge hose to the adapter.
Fully tighten the "Hi" knob of the manifold valve and completely unscrew the "Lo" knob.
2
Run the vacuum pump for about 10~15 minutes, then completely tighten the "Lo" knob
and switch off the vacuum pump.
Remove the charge hose and tighten the cap of valve core. Check the cap's periphery
