Preface
Gree DC Inverter Multi VRF System, with the most advanced technologies in the world,
uses eco-friendly refrigerant R410A as its cooling medium. For correct installation and
operation, please read this manual carefully. Before reading the manual, please note that:
(1) To ensure safety when operating the units, please strictly follow the instructions in this
manual.
(2) The total capacity of running indoor units must not exceed that of the outdoor units.
Otherwise, the cooling (heating) effect of each IDU would be poor.
(3) Make sure that this manual is kept by direct operators and maintainers.
(4) In case of malfunction, please examine the following items and contact our authorized
service centers as soon as possible.
1)Air conditioner’s nameplate (model, cooling capacity, product code, ex-factory date);
2) Malfunction status (detail description of conditions before and after malfunction occurs)
(5) All units have been strictly tested and proved to be qualified before ex-factory. To
avoid damage or operation failure which may be caused by improper disassembly, please do
not disassemble units by yourself. If disassembly is needed, please contact our authorized
service centers.
(6) All graphics and information in this manual are only for reference. Manufacturer
reserves the right for changes in terms of sales or production at any time and without prior
notice.
(7) Under the standby status, the unit will consume a little power for ensuring reliability of
the complete unit, maintaining normal communication and preheating refrigerant. When the
unit won’t be used for a long time, please cut off the power of the complete unit. However,
please preheat it when operating the unit next time.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and

1 Safety Precautions
means items that must be forbidden! Otherwise, it may lead to personal injury or death or
serious damage.
means items that must be followed! Otherwise, it may lead to personal injury or property loss.
Please install the unit
according to instructions
in this manual. Read this
manual carefully before
starting up or checking the
machine.
Installation should be
performed by distributor or
qualified personnel. Do
not install the product by
yourself. Improper
installation will result in
water leakage, electric
shock or fire hazard.
Before installation, please
check the power cord if it
complies with the power
supply requirement on the
nameplate. Make sure the
power supply is safe.
This air conditioner must
be properly grounded
through the receptacle to
avoid electric shock. The
ground wire shouldn’t be
connected with gas pipe,
water pipe, lightning
arrester or telephone line.
When installing,
specialized parts and
accessories must be
used. Otherwise, it may
result in water leakage,
electric shock or fire
hazard.
R410A refrigerant can
produce poisonous gas
once it meets fire, so
please ventilate the room
immediately if refrigerant
leaks out during
installation.
Diameter of power cord
must be large enough.
Damaged power cord or
connecting wire must be
replaced by specialized
electric cable.
After the power cord is
connected, please install
the cover of electric box to
avoid danger.
Nitrogen must be charged
according to technical
requirements.
Short circuit is forbidden.
Do not cancel the
pressure switch,
otherwise unit may be
damaged.
For units with wired
controllers, do not connect
power supply until the
wired controller is well
installed. Otherwise, the
wired controller cannot be
used.
When installation is
finished, please check
and make sure the drain
pipe, pipeline and electric
wire are all well connected
to avoid water leakage,
refrigerant leakage,
electric shock and fire
hazard.
Do not extend fingers or
objects into air outlet or
the return air grille.
If gas heater or petroleum
heater is used in the same
room, please open the
door or window to
maintain good air
circulation, otherwise an
oxygen shortage may
occur,

compressor.)
Volatile liquid like thinner
or gasoline will damage
the appearance of air
conditioner. (Please use
soft dry cloth and wet
cloth with mild detergent
to clean unit’s outer case.)
Under cool mode, do not
set the indoor temperature
too low. Keep the
difference between indoor
temp and outdoor temp
within 5℃.
If abnormal condition
occurs (e.g. unpleasant
smell), please turn off the
unit at once and
disconnect power supply.
Then contact Gree
authorized service center.
If the air conditioner
continues to operate
despite of abnormal
condition, it may be

(3) Outdoor units of Modular DC Inverter Heat Recovery System can be connected to multi VRF
indoor units, including cassette type unit, one-way cassette type unit, wall-mounted unit and
duct type unit, as shown in figure 2. When any one of the indoor units receives operating
command, outdoor unit will start operation as per required capacity. When all indoor units stop,
outdoor unit will be shut off. Please note that outdoor unit can’t be connected to indoor unit
directly. Heat pump mode exchanger must be installed between outdoor unit and indoor unit.

Never do this! This symbol indicates the possibility of death or serious injury.
Always do this! This symbol indicates the possibility of personal injury or property damage.
Select a location which is
strong enough to hold
unit’s weight so that unit
can stand still and erect.
Make sure the unit is not
exposed to sun and rain.
And the location can resist
dust, typhoon and
earthquake.
Please keep the unit away
from inflammable,
explosive and corrosive
gas or waste gas.
Make sure the location
has space for heat
exchange and
maintenance so that unit
can operate reliably with
good ventilation.
ODU and IDU should stay
together as close as
possible to shorten the
length of refrigerant pipe
and reduce bend angles.
Select a location which is
out of children’s reach.
Keep the unit away from
children.
