TABLE OF CONTENTS

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air

conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions

below:

• 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 con-

ditioner 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.

- Please make sure to leave no gaps on the top, bottom, left or right

sides between the remote controller and backplate.

- Before assembly with the backplate, arrange the Cable not to

interfere with circuit parts.

Remove remote controller by inserting a

screwdriver into the lower separating holes and

twisting to release the controller from backplate.

- There are two separating holes. Please individually separate one

at a time.

- Please be careful not to damage the inside

components when separating.

4. Please refer to the following directions when connecting the indoor unit and the

wired remote controller together.

1) Please connect the cables as shown in the figure below when connecting the plug type cable from the

indoor unit’s C/BOX and the housing type of the extension cable.

2) When connecting Terminal Blocks of the indoor C/BOX and the wired remote controller with the extension

cable, refer to the steps below.

①

Remove the screw on the cable which is fastened to the wired remote controller’s Terminal Block by

loosening with a screw driver.

②

Remove the housing of the provided 32ft extension cable with a cutting nipper and peel it as shown in the

figure below. (when purchasing the extension cable at the site directly, please peel it as shown in the figure

below.)

5. Please use an extension cable if the distance between the wired remote controller

and the indoor unit is longer than 32ft(10 m).

③

Make sure each wire is securely fastened under each screw terminal and the wires are not in contact with

each other.

④

Please connect the Terminal blocks of indoor unit’s C/BOX and wired remote controller by referring to the

images and contents shown below.

Connect the yellow(signal) part of the wired remote controller’s terminal block and the ‘YL’ part of the indoor

unit’s terminal block.

Connect the red(12V) part of the wired remote controller’s terminal block and the ‘RD’ part of the indoor

unit’s terminal block.

Connect the black(GND) part of the wired remote controller’s terminal block and the ‘BK’ part of the indoor

unit’s terminal block.

In case of loosened screws or insufficient contact between the terminal and the wire, remote controller

may not function properly.

When the power is off on the remote controller, check the connection between the remote controller and

Terminal Block.

Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will

strip the head and make proper tightening impossible.

Over-tightening the terminal screws may break wires and terminal block structure.

• Installation work must be performed in accordance with the national wiring standards and local by

authorized personnel only.

• Installations must comply with the applicable local/national or international standards.

• AWG#22, 3 core shielded is recommended when using the large hole in the center of the back plate.

• AWG#24, 3 core shielded is recommended when using the side or top knock-out of the back plate.

CAUTION

When installing the wired remote controller, do not bury it in the wall.

(It can cause damage in the temperature sensor.)

Do not install the cable to be 164ft(50 m) or longer. (It can cause communication error.)

Remote controller installation

Since the room temperature sensor is in the remote controller, the remote controller box

should be installed in a place away from direct sunlight, high humidity and direct supply of

cold air to maintain proper space temperature. Install the remote controller about 5ft(1.5m)

above the floor in an area with good air circulation at an average temperature.

Do not install the remote controller where it can be affected by:

- Drafts, or dead spots behind doors and in corners.

- Hot or cold air from ducts.

- Radiant heat from sun or appliances.

- Concealed pipes and chimneys.

- Uncontrolled areas such as an outside wall behind the remote controller.

- This remote controller is equipped with LCD display. For proper display of the remote

controller LCD's, the remote controller should be installed properly as shown in Fig.1.

(The standard height is 4~5 ft (1.2~1.5 m) from floor level.)

Installation of Indoor, Outdoor Unit

Pipe bending

Annealed copper pipe with small diameter ( ø6.35 or ø9.52) can be easily bent manually. In this

case, secure large R(radius) for the bend section and gradually bend pipe. If annealed copper pipe

is large in diameter ( ø15.88 or ø19.05), bend pipe with bender. Use bender appropriate for the pipe

diameter.

Brazing

In refrigerant piping, bending (in particular, acute bending) must be minimized to reduce piping

resistance. Bending is, however, necessary in some places by virtue of the installation position of

devices auxiliary to the packaged air conditioner, or of the building structure, piping distance or

finishing appearance. If a more acute bend is required than that attainable by pipe bender, perform

brazing using ready-made elbow. Aside from this function, brazing also serves to connect straight

pipes, generally using ready-made sockets. While brazing, protect piping against heat with wet cloth

to avoid damaging valve packing or burning thermal insulator with burner heat. While brazing, blow

iner

t gas (nitrogen gas or carbonic gas) to prevent formation of oxidation film in copper piping;

otherwise, the refrigerant circuit will clog. The blowing of nitrogen gas (or carbonic gas) through 3-

way valves is described in the following:

Refrigerant piping(Flare piping)

When connecting piping, be sure to keep piping dry(keep piping away from water), clean (keep

piping away from dust) and airtight (avoid refrigerant leakage).

When connecting piping on rainy days or making a through-hole in wall, take due care to prevent

water or plaster from entering piping.

Water enters Plaster enters

CAUTION:

• This procedure is designed to prevent formation of oxidation film by

filling piping with inert gas. Note that excessive gas pressure will

generate pinholes at brazed points.

(Nitrogen gas: Supply pressure 0.05~0.1 kg/cm

• When supplying inert gas, be sure to open one end of piping.
