Note: The refrigerant pre-charged in the outdoor unit is for tubing length "L" up to 25 ft. See "Installation Diagram" page 5. See Table 6 on page 17 for additional R-22 refrigerant required on longer runs.
Tubing Preparation
Do not use contaminated or damaged copper tubing. Do not remove plastic, rubber plugs or brass nuts from the valves, fittings, tubings and coils until you are ready to connect suction or liquid line into valves or fittings. If any brazing work is required, ensure that the nitrogen gas is passed through coil and joints while the brazing work is done. This will eliminate soot formation on the inside wall of the copper tubing. Cut the copper tubing with a tube cutter (See Figure 10). Remove burrs from cut ends by holding tubing downwards to prevent metal chips from entering the tubing. Slide flare nut on tubing. Flare the tubing as shown in Figure 10, Figure 11 and Table 2. The flare must be even and not cracked or scratched. Figure 10. Cutting and Flaring Tube

Special Features
Dry mode
Select this mode when the standard Cool mode does not provide sufficient dehumidification. The compressor and indoor low fan will cycle together and will operate for longer periods of timeto provide the increased rate of dehumidification. As a result, the room temperature differential may increase slightly. When the unit is switched on from cold start or defrosting cycle, the indoor fan will start to operate only after the coil warms up. When the set temperature is achieved, the indoor fan will operate until the coil cools down. In case the coil overheats (145F), the compressor will cut out. If the indoor coil starts to frost, an LED light will blink to indicate that the unit is in defrost. The rated cooling capacity is provided at high indoor fan speed. The cooling capacity is slightly lower when the unit is operating at MEDIUM and LOW fan speed.

Overall Checking
Ensure that: 1. The unit has been mounted properly. 2. Refrigerant tubing connections have been checked for leaks. 3. Proper wiring and circuit breakers have been installed. Drainage check: Check condensate drain for leaks and proper flow. See Drain Test, page 6. Test run: Check the following items: Are all electrical plugs firmly inserted into there receptcales? Is there any abnormal sound from the unit? Is there any abnormal vibration on the unit itself or piping? Confirm that: 1. Condenser fan is running, with warm/cold air blowing off the outdoor unit. (Cooling only/Heat Pump) 2. Evaporator blower is running and discharge cool/warm air. (Cooling only/Heat Pump) Note: The control incorporates a 3 minute randum start delay in the circuit. Thus, it requires about 3 minutes before the outdoor unit will start.
