Installation of the Indoor Unit

Electrical wiring and installation must conform to all national and local codes. Voltage supply fluctuation must not exceed 10% of rated voltage. Ensure that the location is convenient for wiring, piping and drainage. The indoor unit must be installed near the center of the room with no obstacles in path of the discharge or return air. See Figure 2 for minimum clearances. The suspending structure must be stronge enough to avoid amplifying noise and vibration. The height above the finished ceiling must be 13 3/4" minimum (See Figure 4). Avoid excessive heat. Do not install close to steam or hot water pipes. Figure 2. Indoor Unit Minimum Clearances

Water Level Switch

This normally closed switch will open and turn off the compressor if the condensate level gets to high. If it closes within 5 minutes, the compressor will turn back on. If the switch does not close for more than 5 minutes, the system will warn user regarding the fault and the compressor is not allowed to cut in. If the switch is confirmed opened twice within 30 minutes, the compressor will stay off and indicator lights will show fault (See Mode and Diagnostic Chart, page 21).

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

Evacuating and Charging

Evacuating the tubing and the indoor unit
The outdoor unit is pre-charged with refrigerant R-22. The indoor unit and the refrigerant connection tubing must be evacuated as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Remove the 3 caps from the valves on the outdoor unit. Connect the center of the charging gauge to the vacuum pump. Connect the charging gauge to the service port of the 3-way valve (See Figure 13). Start the pump and evacuate to -760 mm Hg (-29.9" Hg). Close the valve of the changing gauge and stop the vacuum pump. On the outdoor unit, open both valves using a 4 mm Allen wrench. (See Figure 12.) Table 6: Additional R-22 ounces per ft. (when tubing length "L" is more than 25 feet - see Installation Diagram on page 5)

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.
