CONDENSED WATER DISPOSAL OF OUTDOOR UNIT
There is holes on the base of Outdoor unit for condensed water to exhaust.
In order to flow condensed water to the drain, the unit is installed on a stand or a
block so that the unit is 100mm above the ground as shown figure. Join the drain
pipe to one hole.
Cover the drain hole with a bush. To install the bush, put it on the drain hole as
shown in the figure and press the both sides of the bush to fit into the hole.
After installation, check whether the drain pipe and bush cling to the base firmly.

Install the outdoor unit horizontally and make sure that condensate drains away.
When removing flare nut of the indoor unit, first remove the nut of small diameter
side.
Otherwise the nut of big diameter side will fly out.
Prevent water from entering into the piping when connecting.
Be sure to tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
If the flare nut is overtightened, it may split after sometime and may cause refrigerant leak.
When using a control valve, make sure that the packing is not deteriorated and
avoid excessive tightening of the handle. Otherwise, gas may leak from the service
valve.

Removal Of Air From The Pipe And Gas Leakage Inspection
From the viewpoint of global environment
protection, air purge type should be vacuum
pump method.
Fully tighten the " Hi " shuttle of the
manifold valve and completely unscrew
the "Lo" shuttle. Run the vacuum pump.

Wiring of the Outdoor Unit
Please remove the side cover and terminal cover for wiring connection.
WARNING
The connecting cord must be fix with cord band
Otherwise rain water may enter and cause short circuit. Besides, an external
forcemay apply to the connection part of the connecting cord and could result
in heat and fire.
The terminal cover and side cover must be installed after work is
done.
CAUTION
Outdoor supply cords shall not be lighter than polychloroprene
sheathed flexible cord with code designation 60245 IEC 57.

In case of using in chilly area
Especially, in case that there are many snows by very cold in chilly area, condensed
water freezes on the base and may result not to drain. In this case, please remove
the bush and the drain pipe at the bottom of unit. (Left and center near discharge
portion of air, each 1 place). It becomes smooth drain.
Ensure that the distance from the drain hole to the ground is 250 mm or more.
Force-cooling operation
When the service switch of the outdoor unit is pressed for 1 or
more seconds, the force-cooling operation starts. Use this mode
when performing the failure diagnosis or collecting refrigerant into
the outdoor unit.

Works to be done when transferring or removing air conditioner
From the viewpoint of global environment protection, refrigerant
should be recovered (pumped down) when the air conditioner is
transferred or removed.
Perform force-cooling operation for about 5 minutes as a
preliminary operation.
Tighten the spindle of the service valve at small diameter side in
clockwise direction.
Continue the force-cooling operation for another 1-2 minutes, and
then tighten the spindle of the service valve at large diameter side
in clockwise direction.
Stop the force-cooling operation.

Be sure to use only wire specified for the use of air-conditioner.
Please refer to the manual for wire connection, the wiring technique should meet the standard of the electrical
installation.
Leave some space in the connecting cord for maintenance purpose and be sure to secure it with the cord band.
Secure the connecting cord along the coated part of the wire using the cord band. Do not exert pressure on the wire as this
may cause overheating or fire.
There is a AC voltege of 220V between the A and B terminals. Therefore, before servicing, be sure to remove the plug from
the AC outlet.

Insulation And Maintenance Of Pipe Connection
The connected terminals should be completed sealed with
heat insulator and then tied up with rubber strap.
Please tie the pipe and power line together with plastic tape
as shown in the figure of installation of both the indoor and
outdoor units. Then fix 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.

Earth Line And Circuit Breaker
erminal cover
The earth line terminal of the outdoor unit is below the
service valve.
To avoid short circuit, it is necessary to install circuit breaker
depending on the mounting location of the unit.
Do not place earth line near the following objects:
(1) Water pipe
(2) Gas pipe — There is danger of catching fire.
(3) The earth line of lightning conductor and telephone —
short circuit may occur during lightning.

Preparation of Pipe
Use a pipe cutter to cut the pipe and remove burr.
Remove burr
If burr is not removed, it may cause leakage.
Point the side to be trimmed downwards during trimming to prevent copper
chips from entering the pipe.
Before flaring,please put on the flare nut.

Pipe Connection
Remove the flare nut from the pipe of the indoor unit by removing the flare nut (female
side) with a spanner while holding down the half union (male side) with a spanner.
Do not crush the pipe while bending it.
Apply refrigerant oil on the connection part. After carrying out the center alignment
and manual tightening of the flare nut, tighten the flare nut securely with a torque
wrench (spanner).
