PREPARATION BEFORE USE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before using the air conditioner, be sure to check and preset the following.
Remote Control presetting
The remote control is NOT preset as Cooling Only Air Conditioner or Heat Pump by manufacturer.
Each time the remote control batteries are replaced, the Cooling indicator and Heating indicator will flash
alternately on the remote control LCD.
The user can preset the remote control depending on the air conditioner type purchased as follows:
Pressing any button when flashes, Heat Pump is set.
Pressing any button when flashes, Cooling Only is set.
If you don’t press any button within 12 seconds, the remote control is preset as Heat Pump automatically.
Note:
If the air conditioner you purchased is a Cooling Only one, but you preset the remote control as Heat Pump,
it doesn’t matter. But if the air conditioner you purchased is a Heat Pump one, and you preset the remote
control as Cooling Only, then you CANNOT preset the Heating operation with the remote control.
Back-light function (optional)
Pressing any button of the remote control for about 2 seconds, the back-light turns on. Once the button is released,
it automatically turns off after 10 seconds.
Note: Back-light is an optional function.

Be sure not to do the following:
How to prevent faults and accidents (fires, electric shocks and other
damage).
Do not use the power supply circuit breaker or pull off the plug to turn it
off during operation. This may cause a fire due to spark, etc.
Do not twist, pull or crush the power supply cord. Doing so may damage
the cord and cause an electric shock or fire.
Do not insert any object in the air delivery vents. This is dangerous
because the fan rotates at high speed.
It is harmful to your health if the cool air reaches you for a long time. It is
advisable to let the airflow be deflected to all the room.
Prevent the airflow from reaching the gas burners and stove.
Do not operate with wet hands.
Pay attention to such a situation.
Do not repair the appliance by yourself. If this is done incorrectly, it may
cause an electric shock, etc.
Be sure to follow this instruction.
Keep the power supply circuit breaker or plug from dirt. Connect the
power supply cord to it firmly and correctly - risk of an electric shock or
a fire break out due to insufficient contact.
Use correct power supply
Single phase model

template, make sure to follow the same direction of the holes for the roof
bolts. Fix the edges of the opening with the [-shaped aluminium bars.
Mount the attached suspending brackets with M8X50 expanding bolts on
the roof surface. Make sure to tighten the expanding bolts and nuts well.
The opening of the suspending brackets should face outward as shown:
Take the suspending poles with a nut on one end, mount them on the
fixed suspending brackets, then tighten the nuts and washers on the top
of the suspending brackets.
Fix the main unit onto the suspension poles with nuts and washers.

Air purging
After connecting the indoor and outdoor units, evacuate air and moisture from the refrigerant system using a vacuum
pump, as shown below.
How to purge air tubes:
Unscrew and remove caps from 2 and 3-way valves.
Unscrew and remove cap from service valve.
Connect vacuum pump flexible hose to the service valve.
Start the vacuum pump for 10-15 minutes until it reaches an absolute vacuum of 10 mm Hg.
With the vacuum pump still running close the low pressure knob on the vacuum pump manifold. Then stop the
vacuum pump.
Open the 2-way valve 1/4 turn, then close it after 10 seconds. Check tightness of all joints using liquid soap or an
electronic leak detector.
Turn the 2 and 3-way valves stem. Disconnect the vacuum pump flexible hose.

After evacuating the air, check for tightness of all the joints of indoor and outdoor units with a halogen detector or liquid
soap before wrapping.
Adding refrigerant:
The refrigerant volume of the models in this manual is based on using 10m connecting pipes. If your connecting pipes
are longer than 10m, additional refrigerant should be charged according to pipe length (L).
The additional refrigerant must be charged in the condition that it is running in the system. The refrigerant should be
charged to the system from the service port of the low pressure valve. Be careful not to allow air enter the system while
adding refrigerant.
IMPORTANT FOR ANY SERVICE ACTION: When charging R407C refrigerant into the system, make sure
to charge in liquid state. Otherwise, the chemical composition of the refrigerant (R407C) inside the system
may change and affect the performance of the air conditioner.

Drain pipe connection
Connect the large end (inner diameter 25mm, outer diameter 32mm) of
the drain hose to the drain port of the main unit, then clamp it well.
Measure the distance from the drain pipe to the outside of wall, then cut
a Ø 25 PVC tube (inner diameter 22mm) according to this length.
Apply epoxy glue on the small end (outer diameter 21 mm) of the drain
hose, then connect it to the PVC tube.
Direct the other end of the PVC tube to the outside of the wall, connect
to a downward pipe with a Ø 25 elbow (make sure to attach the joints
well with epoxy glue).
If the suspended section of the indoor drain pipe exceeds 2 m, a
supporting bracket should be fitted every 1-1.5 m. The drain pipe must be
inclined downward with a gradient over 1/100 to ensure correct drain
flow. The drain pipe should not have too many bends as they may prevent
water from draining.
Make sure the indoor part of the drain pipe is thermally insulated.
Otherwise, condensate may form and drip on the ceiling board.
If the indoor section of the drain pipe is too long, proceed as described.
When several units drain together, proceed as described.

Electrical work cautions
Make sure to understand the requirements on the rating label before performing electrical work. Follow the wiring
diagram while carrying out the electrical connections.
Use a special power supply and leakage protection device for the air conditioner.
The indoor and outdoor units must be earthed correctly.
All connections must be in accordance with the relevant wiring diagram, and should comply with local regulations.
Incorrect connection could result in damage to the unit or even a hazard.
Keep the cables away from the compressor or rotating fans.
Do not change the internal wiring.
Make sure to fix the wires well. Incomplete connection or fixing of wires could cause a fire.
Electrical connection:
Remove the terminal block covers from the indoor and outdoor units.
Connect the power connecting cord and control cable. Fix them with a cable clamp after connecting.
Earth the indoor and outdoor units. Incorrect earthing may cause an electric shock.
After electrical connection, replace the covers.
