    Sizing Sizing of the Mini Split to the room is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. DuctlessAire recommends a 12,000 Btu/h capacity per 200 to 250 Sq Ft of room size. Do not exceed this sizing guideline. Installing large capacity systems in small rooms will lead to short cycling of the compressor as the supply airflow from the unit to “bounces back”...
  • Page 5 MINIMUM of 6ft from the floor so that the airflow from the unit is unimpeded. Sensible Heat and Humidity DuctlessAire units are designed to provide an approximate SHR of 0.66. Be aware that low humidity conditions will further reduce unit performance, requiring either additional higher fan speeds to be programmed into the unit, or introduction of some latent load into the room, e.g.
  • Page 6: Commercial, Offices, Shops, Churches Etc

    Again Sizing and Location of the Mini Split to the room is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. DuctlessAire recommends a 12,000 Btu/h capacity for each 350 to 450 Sq Ft of the Room Do not exceed this sizing guideline for the same reason as the computer room...

    1.3 Residential Sizing Sizing and Location of the Mini Split to the room is still EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. DuctlessAire recommends a 12,000 Btu/h capacity for each 500 to 600 Sq Ft of the Room for most applications inside the house.

  • Page 9: Sun Rooms Or 4 Season Rooms

    The throw of the 9 or 12,000 Btu/h units is approximately 15 feet, and the 18 or 24,000 Btu/h units have a throw of approximately 25 feet. Sun Rooms are a great application for DuctlessAire Mini Split units however there are several items that must be addressed to make the installation a success.
  • Page 10: Low Ambient Cooling

    Raychem #CCH-1 or 2 bellyband types MUST be installed. For cooling operation below 32 DegF, and down to a minimum of 0 DegF, DuctlessAire recommends that Wind Baffles be installed on both the Coil Inlet and Fan Outlet of the Outdoor unit.
  • Page 11 Service Manual The Temperature sensing probe should be securely attached on or adjacent to a return bend on the condenser coil that measures 100 DegF in normal operation. In practice this works out to be the 3 Return bend down from the top of the coil. Securely strap the probe to the bend or tube and insulate to ensure accurate temperature sensing.

  • Page 15: Heat Pump

    Service Manual 1.6 Heat Pump DuctlessAire Heat Pump units are NOT fitted with any type of auxiliary heating for back up heat during periods of time when the outdoor ambient is too cold to allow for full capacity operation. Basically the colder the air outside, the lower the capacity and supply air temperature provided by your DuctlessAire Heat Pump.
  • Page 16 Defrost DuctlessAire units feature “Demand Defrost” which allows the unit to choose when to enter into defrost, not just every 30, 60 or 90 minutes as most heat pumps An Outdoor coil temperature sensor is located in the Outdoor unit, it MUST be connected back to the Indoor PCB, the sensor will assist in determining if defrost is required.
  • Page 17 Reversing Valve The reversing or 4 way valve is energized for HEATING in a DuctlessAire unit. If the unit does not produce heat when in the Heat Pump mode, check for line voltage starting at the Indoor unit terminal, and follow that voltage out via the interconnecting wire to the solenoid coil on the valve.

Annotation: during the sleep operation, if the unit receives the timing time that has been adjusted, the twinkling of the 8LED on the display screen means that the status is being changed, if the unit receives that the set temperature has been adjusted, the 8LED will be lighten, the air conditioning will be adjusted to the operation status the same as the status before the sleep during the changing...
  • Page 20: Anti-Mildewing Operation Function

    Service Manual I The “sleep” and “turbo” can not be operated at the same time, that is to say there is no sleep function during the turbo operation, and there is no turbo function in the sleep status. Anti- mildewing operation function If the air conditioning is shut down during the cooling operation under the cooling,dehumidify or automation mode, then the air conditioning will execute the anti- mildewing operation function.

  • Page 28: Adding Refrigerant Charge

    3.5 Adding Refrigerant Charge If the unit interconnect length exceeds the standard charge length of the system, additional refrigerant must be added to the system. DuctlessAire systems are charged for a 25ft line set as standard. The additional refrigerant MUST BE WEIGHED INTO THE SYSTEM, as these are critically charged systems.

    Service Manual the system if the unit has not been in the cooling mode for at least 4 hours. To connect from the 18” condensate hose provided on the Indoor unit we recommend an ø 5/8” ID or ¾” OD clear flexible PVC hose, this will provide a tight interference fit on the unit connection and allow standard rigid copper or PVC piping (depending on local codes) to be used for the remainder of the drain.
