Installing The Outdoor Unit - GE Consumer & Industrial GE AIR 107 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

Install the piping hole
1. Make the piping hole (Ø100 mm for
models GE AIR 116 and GE AIR 121, and
Ø80 mm for all other models) in the wall
at a slight downwards slant.
2. Insert the piping hole sleeve into the hole
to prevent the connection piping and
wiring from being damaged while passing
through the hole.
Install the connection pipes
1. When routing the piping and wiring from
the left or right side of the indoor unit,
cut out the tailings from the chassis if
necessary (shown in Fig. 1). Cut out
tailing 1 when routing wiring only.
Cut out tailing 2 when routing both
the wiring and piping.
2. Connect the pipes with the appropriate
union pipes on the indoor unit.
3. Cover piping joints with pipe cover.
4. Insulate piping with thermal insulation
hose provided with the unit.

NOTE:
1. The connection pipes should be
connected to the indoor unit first and
the outdoor unit second.
2. Be careful when bending the connection
pipes so as not to damage them.
3. Do not bend a connection pipe more
than three times in the same location.

4. Make sure the maximum length and
height falls within the limits provided in
the specification table at the end of this
manual.
5. Leakage will occur if the torque is too
great when tightening the flare nuts.
Refer to table 3 on page 23 to identify
the appropriate torque.
Install the drain hose
1. Place the drain hose at a downward slant
for optimal drainage.
2. Do not wrench or bend the drain hose or
flood the end with water.
Last steps for installing the indoor unit
1. Wrap the piping and wiring and pull them
through the cut out tailing hole as shown
in Fig. 2.
2. Lift the surface panel of the indoor unit
and install the air cleaners.
3. Pull the piping through the connection
pipe hole and hang the two mounting
slots of the indoor unit on the proper tabs
of the rear panel and check that it is
mounted strong enough.

Installing the outdoor unit

Choose installation location
1. Select a location where noise and outflow
air will not inconvenience neighbors.
2. Select a location with sufficient ventilation.
3. The inlet and outlet should never be
blocked or covered.
4. The location should be able to withstand
the full weight and vibration of the unit.
5. Avoid installation in any area where a
danger of flammable gas or of corrosive
gas leaks exists.
6. Ensure that the installation location
conforms to the requirements of the
installation dimension diagram.
Install the connection pipe
1. On model GE AIR 326, make sure to
connect the large capacity indoor unit
(GE AIR 326 IN2) to the outdoor unit valves
identified with the letter A. The valves
identified with letters B and C correspond
to the small capacity unit (GE AIR 326 IN1).
2. Align the center of the piping flare with
the relevant valve.
3. Fasten the nut to the flare by hand and
then tighten the nut with torque wrench
to specifications listed in table below.
Refer to Fig. 3.
4. Cover piping joints with pipe cover.
5. Insulate piping with thermal insulation
hose provided with the unit.
Note: excessive tightening torque will
damage the flare surface. Use table 3 to

Electrical wiring connection
Refer to table 1 and table 2 to identify
the required electrical wiring for your
air-conditioner.
1. Remove the wiring cover.
2. Remove wire clamp(s).
3. Connect the wires to the terminal block
strictly based on the correspondence
between the wire colors and the terminal
block codes provided in table 2. Clamp
the connected cord onto the chassis.
4. Make sure each wire is connected to the
right terminal pin of the outdoor terminal
block and corresponds to the right
terminal pin of the indoor unit.
5. If the outdoor unit has a plastic connector
(wiring interface), connect the
corresponding cable and clamp the
connected cord onto the chassis.
6. Make sure that the wiring has been
connected firmly.
7. Re-assemble cover.
NOTE:
• Wrong wire connections will cause
electrical malfunction.
• Do not pull down the connecting cable
when fixing it with the wire clamp.
• Make sure the wires are securely
connected to the terminal block and the
connecting cable is firmly held by the
wire clamp.
