1 Safety Precaution
Please take note of the safety item as followings before and after installation process:
1
1 Preparation before Installation
To check the electrical power supply condition, electrical power supply shall meet the requirement of local concerned rule and regulation;
The tolerance of voltage shall be less than ±10% based on the nominal voltage, It is not allowed to share the same power cable for
welding, which will cause the vibration of power supply;
To install the equipment , it is a must to have professional technician or Engineer to conduct the installation, otherwise, If installation is
completely improperly, will cause units leakage of water, electric power and cause fire accident etc;
Please follow up the installation instruction of this manual to avoid any leakage of water, electric power and cause fire
To set up an independent electrical power supply cable and meet the local concerned rule and regulation;
Before installation of outdoor units, it shall build a solid base in the ground, also to take some measure to prevent the typhoon, earthquake
etc;
The floor or base for installation of units shall be strong enough to support the weight of outdoor units; If intensity is not enough will cause
unnecessary damage of units and loss;
To prepare the installation kits and protection kits , such as glove, uniform to avoid any kind of injury;
1
2 Safety Notice on processing of installation
Do not touch the fins of heat exchanger; Improper installation will cause body injury and fins damage to cause low heat exchange
efficiency;
Do fix the outdoor unit tightly, to avoid any vibration; The cover panel of controller box shall be fixed tightly to avoid any dirt, water to enter
to cause some failure and damage;
When installing the indoors units, please be sure the use the air filter and electrical heater provided by the supplier;
When installing the units, in case the leakage of refrigerant, please open the window and door for good ventilation; to avoid any fire
because of the poisonous gas may occurred;
If the indoor unit is installed in a confined limited space, it shall take prevent measure to avoid leakage of refrigerant;
Cable of electrical power shall be far away from water, humidity, to avoid leakage of power and fire accidence;
Do not change any protector setting, otherwise it will cause units failure , fire or explosion;
Do not use the addition to check leakage of refrigerant;
Please do not pull the cable of electrical power too tight, otherwise it will cause the breakage of cable;
To ensure the cable can support sufficient ampere and power consumption;
Units earthling is a must, to avoid any leakage of electrical power ; do not to connect earth line with telephone line;
Indoor condensing water shall be drainage in proper way, to avoid dripping of condensing water, it shall have the insulation material to
wrap the outside layer of piping;

units;
After proper installation, it shall check the air tightness, to make sure no leakage of piping;
1
3 Notice of test operation
Before running the units, it shall to start the main switch for 12 hours, if not do in this way, it will cause the damage of components; The
power shall be in standby condition if units are required to operation frequently;
Do not to contact the main power switch if the hand is wet to avoid leakage of electrical power;
Do not to remove the front panel or protection guard when units is on operation; the high speed running part of the operation units will
cause unnecessary damage and injury;
Do not the touch the refrigerant piping when units is running or just stop running, to avoid unnecessary hurt for hand because the piping
maybe too hot or too cold;

Ensure that the wall is strong enough to withstand the weight of the unit. Otherwise, it is necessary to reinforce the wall with plates,
beams or pillars;
Use the level gauge for horizontal mounting, and fix it with 4suitable screws;
In case the rear piping draws out, drill a hole 65mm in diameter with a cone drill, slightly lower on the outside wall;
Mount the unit onto the installation plate
Hook the indoor unit onto the upper portion of the installation plate (Engage the two hooks at the rear top of the indoor unit with the
upper edge of the installation plate). Ensure that the hooks are property seated on the installation plate by moving it to the left and right.
Water drainage piping
The indoor drain pipe must be in a downward gradient for smooth drainage. Avoid situations that are likely to cause water to leak.

6.2.6 Installation of condensing water pump
To check the accessories are ready
Install the anti-vibrating mounting bracket and the pump
The bracket’ figure is as following:
Fix the bracket, there is a groove in the side of the pump, hitch the pump onto the bracket. Make sure the pump set steady and
vertical;
Water level and the state of the pump
According the water level detected by the pump self, the pump determine its work state, as following:
When the detected level is higher then 18mm, the pump start run; When the detected level is higher then 21mm, the pump send an
alarm signal to the controller of the indoor unit, and the pump continue pumping; When the detected level is lower then 12mm, the pump
stop run;
To reduce the water amount in the water plate of the indoor unit, the pump’s inlet should be lower then the drainage of the indoor unit,
as following, recommend :2mm
h
6mm ;
Wire connecting
a) Connect power supply cable to the pump;
b) Connect pump Live, Neutral and Earth terminals to the mains power supply;
c) The pump must be still powered when the indoor unit is off;
d) Connect the alarm wire to the indoor unit’s controller;

1 Notes for piping installation
1
Copper tube material: to check the thickness and diameter , ensure the clearness of the copper tube;
2
To machine to vacuum the unit, It is not allowed to use refrigerant to vacuum the units;
3
Do not use the 2
nd
refrigerant piping;
4
Do not use any detergent to clean the refrigerant piping;
5
To seal the outlet of the copper tube , to avoid any dust or dirt or water to enter inside;
6
When install the piping work, to ensure not do it in raining day;
7
To avoid the bending and turning of piping;
8
For welding requirement, to use the right welding material to ensure the quality;
9
Copper tube insulation is a must to ensure the heat exchange efficiency, to avoid the drop of condensing water;
10
When installing the refrigerant piping, all ball valve shall be in constant closed status, before completing the leakage test and vacuum
processing, it is not allowed to open the ball valve;
11
When move or relocate the units, in charge the right refrigerant and ensure the refrigerant weight is requested as shown in nameplate;

To change the hallow seal pad;
To fix the flange connector and hallow sealed pad and fixed ball valve of gas side with screw bolt;
2
Liquid side ball valve connecting: to expand the copper tube outlet, and connect the ball valve connector;
3
Vacuum and in charge refrigerant, ensure to open the valve completely
4
To calculate the additional refrigerant, and in charge to units accordingly;
5
To check the looseness to avoid leakage of refrigerant;
