NOTES:
①.Based upon W/nominal tonnage, dry coil and filter should be installed.
②.Use 0.96 as approximate SCFM correction factor for wet coil.
2.6 Dip switch configuration
Set the indoor fan speed through the eight dip switches of the indoor main control
board. The higher level, the higher speed of the indoor unit fan. Operation Instruction is
below:
Dip switch settings must be completed before power on the unit.
After the unit is shut down or stopped at the temperature point, the indoor unit will
delay for a few minutes and then shut down. The refrigeration can realize the drying
function, relieve the mold of the air duct, and the heating can blow the waste heat and
relieve the heat accumulation in the air duct.
During installation and debugging, pay attention to check whether the temperature
controller has set the fan delay and shutdown time. If the temperature controller has
been set, the actual delay and shutdown time of the fan is equal to the temperature
controller setting time plus the fan delay time of the indoor unit.

poisoning resulting from the exhaust emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in
an enclosed area such as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide
producing device is operated therein, there must be adequate ventilation directly to
outside.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which can occur
if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in the enclosed area.
Carbon monoxide emission can be (re)circulated throughout the building if the furnace
or air handler is operating in any mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.
4 Installation
4.1 Unit Inspection
Upon delivery, inspect the unit for damage. Any damage must be reported
immediately to the carrier. Do not install such an equipment damaged by freight which
determines the integrity and safety of the unit.
Please check the equipment model number to ensure the unit is appropriately
sized for the condensing unit.

If an incorrect unit is supplied, it must not be installed and it is to be returned to the
supplier. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the installation of incorrectly
delivered units. The evaporator coil contains high-pressure inert gas for holding charge.
4.2 Location
This air handler is designed for indoor installation only. Do not install
it outdoors.
When installing the air handler, take consideration to minimize the length of
refrigerant tubing as much as possible. Do not install the air handler in a location either
above or below the condenser that violates the instructions provided with the condenser.
Service clearance is to take precedence. Allow a minimum of 24” in front of the unit for
service clearance. When installing in an area directly over a finished ceiling (such as an
attic), an emergency drain pan is required directly under the unit. See local and state
codes for requirements. When installing this unit in an area that may become wet,
elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-porous material. In installations that may lead to
physical damage (i.e. a garage) it is advised to install a protective barrier to prevent
such damage.
This air handler is designed for a complete supply and return ductwork system. Do
not operate this product without all ductwork attached.
Based upon the actual conditions, if air handler is installed as Fig. A, the air
handler should be concealed in a specific room or space and make sure the air handler
is not accessible to the general public.
Based upon the actual conditions, if air handler is installed as Fig. B, make sure
that there is enough space for care and maintenance and the height between the air
handler and ground is above 2500mm. And the air handler is not accessible to the
general public. And the air handler should be maintained horizontal 5° angle to ensure
smooth drainage.

4.4 Condensate Removal
(1) It is not allowed to connect the condensate drain pipe into waste pipe or other
pipelines which are likely to produce corrosive or peculiar smell to prevent the
smell from entering indoors or corrupt the unit.
(2) It is not allowed to connect the condensate drain pipe into rain pipe to prevent rain
water from pouring in and cause property loss or personal injury.
(3) Condensate drain pipe should be connected into special drain system for air
conditioner.
(4) The drain pan has primary and secondary drain connection. Condensate removal
is performed by attaching a 3/4” PVC pipe to the evaporator coil pan and
terminated in accordance with local or state Plumbing/HVAC codes. The
installation must include a “P” style trap that is located closely to the evaporator
coil. Do not over-tighten the drain connection in order to prevent possible damage
to the evaporator drain pan. See the following figure for details of a typical
condensate line “P” trap.
