WARNING During pump down operation, stop the compressor before remove the refrigeration piping. (Removal of compressor while compressor is operating and valves are opened will cause suck-in of air, abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.) After completion of installation or service, confirm there is no leakage or refrigerant gas.

10. Installation Instruction 10.1 Indoor Unit 10.1.1 Selecting the Installation Location Indoor Unit Location for securing the mounting panel. Before choosing the installation site, obtain user approval. Do not install the unit in excessive oil fume area such as kitchen, workshop and etc. There should not be any heat source or steam near the unit.
10.1.2 Selection of Pipe and Heat Insulation Materials When using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following: Insulation material: Polyethylene foam Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052 W/mK (0.035 to 0.045kcal/mh°C) Refrigerant gas pipe’s surface temperature reaches 110°C max. Choose heat insulation materials that will withstand this temperature.
10.1.3.1.3 Drain piping Use commercial rigid polyvinyl chloride pipe (general VP-20 pipe, outer diameter 26 mm, inner diameter 20 mm) for the drain pipe. The drain hose (outer diameter 18 mm at connecting end, 220 mm long) is supplied with the indoor unit. Prepare the drain pipe picture below position.

Once refrigerant piping and drain piping connections are complete, fill in the gap of the through hole with putty. A gap can lead to condensation on the refrigerant pipe, and drain pipe, and the entry of insects into the pipes. Attach the front panel and front grille in their original positions once all connections are complete.
10.1.3.2.4 Indoor unit installation Remove the front grille. Remove the 7 screws. Remove the upper casing (2 tabs). Remove the side casings (2 tabs on each side). Attach the indoor unit to the wall and secure using screws in 6 locations (M4 x 25L). Use drain pan edge for horizontal projection of the indoor unit.
10.1.3.3.3 Changing upward air flow limit dipswitch Change the upward air flow limit dipswitch (SW2-4) to ON to limit the upward air flow. Remove the front grille. Switch the dipswitch (SW2-4) on the PCB in the electrical equipment box to ON. How to set and use the switch Switch number SW2-4...

10.1.5.1 Checking for gas leakage Check for leakage of gas after air purging. 10.1.5.2 Insulating the refrigerant piping Attach the pipe after checking for gas leakage, described above. Cut the insulated portion of the on-site piping, matching it up with the connecting portion. Secure the slit on the auxiliary pipe side with the butt joint on the connection pipe using the tape, making sure there are no gaps.
10.2 Outdoor Unit 10.2.1 Selecting the Installation Location Before choosing the installation site, obtain user approval. If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct sunlight or rain, be careful that heat radiation from the condenser is not obstructed. There should not be any animal or plant which could be affected by hot air discharged.
10.2.3 Connecting the Refrigerant Piping Decide piping length and then cut by using pipe cutter. Remove burrs from cut edge. Make flare after inserting the flare nut (locate at valve) onto the copper pipe. Align center of pipe to valve and then tighten with torque wrench to the specified torque as stated in the table. Do not overtighten, overtightening may cause gas leakage Piping size Torque...
Disconnect the charging hose from the vacuum pump and from the service port of the 3-way valve. Tighten the service port caps of the 3-way valve at a torque of 18 N•m with a torque wrench. Remove the valve caps of both of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve. Position both of the valves to “OPEN” using a hexagonal wrench (4 mm).

10.2.8 Auto switch operation The following operations can be performed by pressing the “AUTO” switch. AUTO OPERATION MODE The Auto operation will be activated immediately once the Auto Switch is pressed. TEST RUN OPERATION (FOR PUMP DOWN/SERVICING PURPOSE) The Test Run operation will be activated if the Auto Switch is pressed continuously for more than 5 sec.
11. Protection Control 11.1 Protection Control For All Operations 11.1.1 Restart Control (Time Delay Safety Control) The Compressor will not turn on within 3 minutes from the moment operation stops, although the unit is turned on again by pressing OFF/ON button at remote control within this period. This control is not applicable if the power supply is cut off and on again.

11.1.4 Compressor Overheating Prevention Control Instructed frequency for compressor operation will be regulated by compressor discharge temperature. The changes of frequency are as below. If compressor discharge temperature exceeds 107°C, compressor will be stopped, occurs 4 times per 20 minutes, timer LED will be blinking.
11.2 Protection Control For Cooling & Soft Dry Operation 11.2.1 Outdoor Air Temperature Control The compressor operating frequency is regulated in accordance to the outdoor air temperature as shown in the diagram below. This control will begin 1 minute after the compressor starts. Compressor frequency will adjust base on outdoor air temperature.
11.2.6 Odor Cut Control To reduce the odor released from the unit. Start Condition AUTO FAN Speed is selected during COOL or DRY operation. During freeze prevention control and timer preliminary operation, this control is not applicable. Control content Depends on compressor conditions: 1.
12. Disassembly and Assembly Instructions WARNING High Voltage is generated in the electrical parts area by the capacitor. Ensure that the capacitor has discharged sufficiently before proceeding with repair work. Failure to heed this caution may result in electric shocks. 12.1 Outdoor Electronic Controller Removal Procedure 12.1.1 CU-E9PFE...
