Multi-Split Cassette Type Indoor Unit

User Notice
◆When operating, the entire capacity of the cooperating indoor unit should be not larger than
150% of outdoor unit. Otherwise, it will cause the shortage of cooling (heating) capacity.
◆A Breaker(or fuse) need to be installed in every indoor unit, and the capacity should in according
with indoor unit’s electrical parameter; all the indoor units are required to be centralized controlled by
a total Switch, this Switch can cut off the electric power supply in case of emergency. The Breaker(or
fuse) on each indoor units have the function of short circuit prevention and abnormal overload avoiding,
it should be connected in normal situation. The total switch controlling the power supply of all the
indoor units. Before clearing and maintenance job being carried out to the indoor units, it is very
important to turn off the total power supply switch.
◆In order to turn on the units successfully, the main power switch should be opened 8 hours
before the operation.
◆After receiving the turn off signal, every indoor unit will continue to work for 20-70sec to make
use of the rest cool air or the rest heat air in the heat exchanger, while preparing for the next operation.
And this is normal.
◆When the selected operating mode of the indoor unit are clash with the operating mode of the
outdoor unit, the malfunction light will blink after 5s on the indoor unit or remote controller showing
that the operation clash, then the indoor unit will stop. At this time, change the operation mode of the
indoor unit to the one that would not clash with the outdoor operating mode to make the operation
normal. The cooling mode is not clash with the dry mode, while the fan mode is not clash with any
mode.
◆The appliance shall not be installed in the laundry.
◆An all-pole disconnection switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles should
be connected in xed wiring.
◆Information regarding transport/storage temperature (-25-55°C) is missing.
◆Main switch provided by end user: main switch handle should be black or gray, it can be locked
in “OFF” position with padlock.
◆The main disconnection device should be explained in user manual and the height should be
recommended at 0.6-1.7m. over current protection is required(EN 60947-3, EN 60947-2).
◆The cooling range of the unit is the outdoor environment temp.-5~48°C DB, the heating range of
the unit( only for the heat pump type unit) is the outdoor environment temp. -15~27°C WB.
This product must not be disposed together with the domestic waste. This product has to be
disposed at an authorized place for recycling of electrical and electronic appliances.

◆Please make sure that the unit is installed in the place that can bear the weight of it adequately. If the
place is not strong enough, the air conditioner may drop and cause casualty event.
◆ Don’t spray or smear any oil paint or insecticide on the surface of unit, otherwise, re may be leaded.
◆ Do not ret the conditioner. Please contact the agency or prefect ional personnel to repair or move the
conditioner.
An all-pole disconnection switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles should be
connected in xed wiring.
Note!:
◆Please check and make sure that the cord, drainage pipe and tubes are connected in the correct way to
prevent leakage of water, refrigerant, electric shock or re.
◆The main power must connectable to the earth in order to assure the conditioner earthing effectively
and to prevent electric shock. Please don’t connect the earthing line with the gas pipe, water pipe, lightening
rod or the connecting line of telephone.

★Select install location of the indoor unit
1. Obstruct should put away from the intake or outlet vent of the indoor unit so that the airow can be
blown though all the room.
2. Make sure that the installation had accord with the requirement of the schematic diagram of installation
spaces.
3. Select the place where can stand 4 times of the weight of the indoor unit and would not increase the
operating noise and oscillate.
4. The horizontally of the installation place should be guaranteed.
5. Select the place where easy drain condensated coagulated water, and easy connect with outdoor unit.
6. Make sure that there are enough space for care and maintenance. Make sure that the weight between
the indoor unit and ground is above 1800mm.
7. When installing the steeve bolt, check if the install place can stand the weight 4 times of the unit’s. If
not, reinforce before installation. (Refer to the install cardboard and nd where should be reinforced)
Note!
There will be lots of lampblack and dust stick on the acentric, heat exchanger and water pump in dining
room and kitchen, which would reduce the capacity of heat exchanger, lead water leakage and abnormal
operation of the water pump. The following treatment should be taken under this circumstance:
1. Ensure that the smoke trap above cooker has enough capacity to obviate lampblack to prevent the
indraft of the lampblack by the air conditioner.
2. Keep the air conditioner far from the kitchen so that the lampblack would not be indraft by the air
conditioner.
★Important notice:
◆To guarantee the good performance, the unit must be installed by professional personnel according
with this instruction.
◆
Please contact the local ALPICAIR special nominated repair department before installation. Any malfunction

◆ Install the install cardboard on the unit by bolt (3 piece), and x the angle of the drainage pipe at the
outlet vent by bolt.
3 Adjust the unit to the suitable install place. (Refer to the g.3)
4 Check if the unit is horizontal.
◆Inner drainage pump and bobber switch are included in the indoor unit, check if 4 angle of every unit
are horizontal by water lever. (If the unit is slant toward the opposite of the coagulate water ow, there may be
malfunction of the bobber switch and lead water drop.)
5 Backout the gasket anchor board used to prevent gasket break off and tighten the nut on it.
6 Backout the install cardboard.
Fig.4
Note!
Please do tighten the nuts and bolts to prevent air conditioner break off.
★Connection of the refrigerant pipe
◆When connect the pipe to the unit or backout it from the unit, please do use both spanner and torque
wrench. as shown in g.5.
◆ When connect, smear both inside and outside of the are nut with freeze motor oil, screw it by hand
and then tighten it with spanner.
◆Refer to form 1 to check if the wrench had been tightened (too tight would mangle the nut and lead
leakage).
◆Examine the connection pipe to see if it had gas leakage, then take the treatment of heat insulation, as
shown in the g.5.
◆Only use median sponge to entwine the wiring interface of the gas pipe and heat preservation sheath of
the gas collection tube.
