TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

ENGLISH

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more

electricity.

• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.

• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.

• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air

conditioner is used for many hours.

• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the

air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

- There is risk of fire or failure of product.

CAUTION

Installation

• Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installation or repair of product.

- Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of product.

• Install the drain hose to ensure that water is drained away properly.

- A bad connection may cause water leakage.

• Keep level even when installing the product.

- To avoid vibration or water leakage.

neighborhoods.

- It may cause a problem for your neighbors.

• Do not install the product where it will be exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly.

- It may cause corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator

fins, could cause product malfunction or inefficient operation.

• Thickness of copper pipes used are as shown “Flaring work” Table.

- Never use copper pipes thinner than that in the table even when it is available on the market

• Do not use copper pipes having a collapsed.

- Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may become blocked with contaminants.

• For R410A model, use piping, flare nut and tools which is specified for R410A refrigerant.

- Using of (R22) piping, flare nut and tools may cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigerant

cycle (piping), and possibly result in explosion and injury.

• It is desirable that the amount of residual oil less than 40 mg/10m.

2 Weld the connector pipe (not provided) at the outdoor unit.

3 When connecting the outdoor unit's connector pipe and the EEV KIT pipe, be sure to use a

socket (not provided) that meets the necessary specifications.

4 As the size of the EEV KIT pipe and the outdoor unit's connector pipe could vary, check the

sizes beforehand and use a socket that meets the necessary specifications.

5 When welding, make sure to follow the safety precautions at all times.

6 Be sure to insulate 'A' part after welding with insulation (15T or more).

CAUTION

• Be sure to pass nitrogen through when welding parts together. Failure to do so could lead

to the compressor not working properly or becoming damaged.

• It is essential that the part be wrapped with a wet towel before and after welding. Failure

to do so could result in the part becoming damaged.

• Use a protective panel or be especially cautious not to let welding sparks come in contact

with the AHU panel.

• After welding, be sure to test for any leakage.

• Failure to properly insulate after welding may result in leakage.

EEV KIT INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

When conducting welding, you must pass nitrogen through at about 0.02 MPa (0.2 kg/cm

Before proceeding to weld, you must remove all the air from inside the pipe using nitrogen.

Failure to use nitrogen results in the occurrence of oxidation inside the pipe, leading to the

malfunction of the compressor and blocking of the strainer.

WARNING

• While welding, always be careful that no refrigerant leaks.

• When refrigerant combusts, it creates a toxic gas that is harmful to the body.

• Do not conduct welding in an enclosed area.

• After welding a pipe, be sure to test for any leakage.

LEAK TEST AND VACUUM

ENGLISH

Leak test

Leak tests are carried out to standards identical with the MULTI-V leak test.

Leak tests are carried out by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8MPa (38.7 kgf/cm

). Refer to the

following picture for test methods.

(The service valve should be closed when carrying out tests and pressurizing liquid and gas

pipes.)

After nitrogen gas has been pressurized, pressure must not drop during a 24 hour period.

Vacuum

Vacuum testing is conducted to standards identical with the MULTI-V vacuum test.

As shown in the picture below, with the outdoor unit's service valve closed, use the vacuum

pump to perform vacuuming of the AHU and connector pipe from the stop valve's service port.

Vacuuming must always be conducted from the service port of liquid and gas pipes.

After maintaining a vacuum level of 5 Torr for one hour, there should be no change in the

vacuum level for another hour.

(If there is a change in the vacuum level, there could be a leak or moisture inside the pipe)

If there is a possibility of moisture inside the pipe, a vacuum must be maintained for 2 hours,

after which 0.05 Mpa (0.5 kgf/cm2) of nitrogen gas is injected.

After this, a vacuum is should be performed for at least one hour, maintained for an hour once 5

Torr is reached, and then the vacuum gauge is checked for changes.

※ Refrigerant should never be used for air purging.

※ Perform vacuuming using a vacuum pump with a vacuum gauge attached.

- Perform a calculation to add a precise amount of refrigerant.

- Adding an imprecise amount of refrigerant could cause problems for the product.

- If the amount of added refrigerant goes beyond of ±10%, burning of the compressor and

poor performance of the indoor unit could occur.

WARNING

• Pipes that must be vacuumed: gas pipe, liquid pipe

• When installing or moving the product to another location, do not fill with any refrigerants

besides the regulated refrigerant (R410A).

• Mixing the original refrigerant with a different refrigerant can cause malfunctioning or

damage to the refrigerant cycle.

• If injecting gaseous R410A, you should change the refrigerant composition you use to a

liquid form.

Please call the installing contractor of your product, as warranty service will be

provided by them.
