Outdoor Unit Installation

NOTE ON DRAINPIPE INSTALLATION
• When using an extended drainpipe, tighten
the indoor connection with an additional
protection tube. This prevents it from
pulling loose.
• The drainpipe should slope downward at a
gradient of at least 1/100 to prevent water
from flowing back into the air conditioner.
•
The drainpipe is used to drain water away from
the unit. Improper installation may cause unit
and property damage.
CAUTION
• Insulate all piping to prevent condensation,
which could lead to water damage.
• If the drainpipe is bent or installed
incorrectly, water may leak and cause a
water-level switch malfunction.
• In HEAT mode, the outdoor unit will
discharge water. Ensure that the drain hose
is placed in an appropriate area to avoid
water damage and slippage.
• DO NOT pull the drainpipe forcefully. This
could disconnect it.
NOTE ON PURCHASING PIPES
Installation requires a polyethylene tube
(exterior diameter = 3.7-3.9cm, interior diameter
= 3.2cm), which can be obtained at your local
hardware store or dealer.

3. Using a 65-mm (2.5”) core drill, drill a hole in
the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at
a slight downward angle, so that the outdoor
end of the hole is lower than the indoor end
by about 12mm (0.5”). This will ensure proper
water drainage (See Fig. 6.4). Place the
protective wall cu in the hole. This protects
the edges of the hole and will help seal it
once you nish installation.

Drainpipe Installation

Refrigerant Piping Connection
Safety Precautions
WARNING
•All eld piping must be completed by a
licensed technician and must comply with
the local and national regulations.
•When the air conditioner is installed in a
small room, measures must be taken to
prevent the refrigerant concentration in
the room from exceeding the safety limit
in the event of refrigerant leakage. If the
refrigerant leaks and its concentration
exceeds its proper limit, hazards due to
lack of oxygen may result.
•When installing the refrigeration system,
ensure that air, dust, moisture or foreign
substances do not enter the refrigerant
circuit. Contamination in the system may
cause poor operating capacity, high
pressure in the refrigeration cycle,
explosion or injury.
•Ventilate the area immediately if there is
refrigerant leakage during the installation.
Leaked refrigerant gas is both toxic and
flammable. Ensure there is no refrigerant
leakage after completing the installation
work.
Notes On Pipe Length and Elevation
Ensure that the length of the refrigerant pipe, the
number of bends, and the drop height between
the indoor and outdoor units meets the
requirements shown in Table 7.1:

CAUTION
• The branching pipe must be installed
horizontally. An angle of more than 10° may
cause malfunction.
• DO NOT install the connecting pipe until
both indoor and outdoor units have been
installed.
• Insulate both the gas and liquid piping to
prevent water leakage.
Step1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra
care to cut and flare them properly. This will
ensure efficient operation and minimize the
need for future maintenance.
1. Measure the distance between the indoor
and outdoor units.
2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little
longer than the measured distance.
CAUTION
DO NOT deform pipe while cutting. Be extra
careful not to damage, dent, or deform the pipe
while cutting. This will drastically reduce the
heating efficiency of the unit.
1. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect
90° angle. Refer to Fig. 7.1 for examples of
bad cuts.
Oblique Rough Warped
90°

Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight
seal.
1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal
the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign
materials from entering the pipe.
2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
3. Place flare nuts on both ends of pipe.
Make sure they are facing in the right
direction, because you can’t put them on
or change their direction after flaring.
See Fig. 7.3

Step 4: Connect pipes
Connect the copper pipes to the indoor unit first,
then connect it to the outdoor unit. You should
first connect the low-pressure pipe, then the high-
pressure pipe.
1.
When connecting the flare nuts, apply a
thin coat of refrigeration oil to the flared
ends of the pipes.
2. Align the center of the two pipes that you
will connect.

•Ensure that main power supply connection
is made through a switch that disconnects
all poles, with contact gap of at least 3mm
(0.118”).
• DO NOT modify the length of the power
cord or use an extension cord.
CAUTION
•Connect the outdoor wires before
connecting the indoor wires.
•Make sure you ground the unit. The
grounding wire should be located away
from gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods,
telephone wires or other grounding wires.
Improper grounding may cause electrical
shock.
• DO NOT connect the unit to the power
source until all wiring and piping is
completed.
•Make sure that you do not cross your
electrical wiring with your signal wiring.
This may cause distortion and interference.
To prevent distortion when the compressor starts
(you can nd the unit’s power information on
the rating sticker):
•The unit must be connected to the main
outlet. Normally, the power supply must
have a impedance of 32 ohms.
•No other equipment should be connected
to the same power circuit.
