—Replacement of the refrigeration cycle.
1. When replacing the refrigeration cycle, be sure to
Discharge the refrigerant system using a FreonTM
recovery System.
If there is no valve to attach the recovery system,
install one (such as a WATCO A-1) before venting the
FreonTM. Leave the valve in place after
servicing the system.
2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the
desired component, and unbraze the pinch-off tubes.
3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,
leaving the valves open.
4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.
5. Evacuate as follows.
1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure
16A.
2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns counterclockwise
and leave the valves open.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves A
and B by means of the manifold.
3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 microns of vaccum is obtained. Close
valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for
a few minutes. A rise in pressure would
indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in
the system. With valves A and B closed, stop
the vacuum pump.
4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See figure 16B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
5) The system is now ready for final charging.
6. Recharge as follows :
1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from the
High-side. If the total charge cannot be put
in the High-side, the balance will be put in the
suction line through the access valve which you
installed as the system was opened.
2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure
16B.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the
manifold connection.
3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not
take it. Close valve A.
5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the
balance of the charge.
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-side.
b. Watch the Low-side gauge; The pressure of
optimum condition is as below.(Cooling)
NOTE: If the actual pressure are higher than
shown, the system is most likely over-
charged, and charge should be removed.
If the actual pressure are lower than
shown, the system is most likely
undercharged, and charge should be
added.
c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
d. Repeat steps b. and c. until the balance of the
charge is in the system.
6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly,
use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running
and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube
cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from
the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to
set for a while, and then test the leakage of the
pinch-off connection.
NOTES
•Use vacuum pump equipped with check valve
applied to be prevented from flowing backward.
•If high vacuum equipment is used, open slowly
with the two full turns counterclockwise. This will
keep oil from foaming and being drawn into the
vacuum pump.
Do not use the existing charge set for R-22.
It is necessary to use new charge set for R-410A.
The pressure of R-410A is 1.6 times higher than
that of R-22. Thus, the high pressure side gauge of
charge set should be used higher pressure gauge
of 50kg/cm2range.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 SELECT THE BEST LOCATION
1.To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit
in installed securely and firmly.
2.Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine
directly on the unit.
3.There should be no obstacle, such as a
fence or wall, within 50cm from the back of the
cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation of the
condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the
cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
4.Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to leak
the condensed water into the room (about 10 ~
15mm or 1/4 bubble with level).
5.Install the unit with the bottom about 70 ~ 150cm
above the floor level.
3.2 CHECK OF INSTALLATION
The setting conditions must be checked prior to
initial starting.
The undermentioned items are especially important
checking points when the installation is finished.
1. Grounding wire (Green or Green and Yellow) is
provided in the power cord. The green wire must
be grounded.
2. Connect to a single-outlet 15AMP circuit.
3. To avoid vibration or noise, make sure the air
conditioner is installed securely.
4 Avoid placing furniture or draperies in front of the
air inlet and outlet.
The air conditioner must be installed level or tilted
slightly to the outside for proper water drainage.
On exceptionally hot and humid days the air
conditioner may drain condensation through
overflow.
If the air conditioner is used in hot and a high
humidity zone, exchange the HOLE RUBBER
for the DRAIN PIPE.(See figure 18, figure 19.)
All side louvers of the cabinet must remain
exposed to the outside of the structure.

Check fan motor bearings; if motor shaft will not
rotate, replace the motor.
Check voltage. See limits on this page. If not within
limits, call an electrician.
Test capacitor.
Check bearings. Does the fan blade rotate freely?
If not, replace fan motor.
Pay attention to any change from high speed to
low speed. If the speed does not change, replace
the motor.
Check grommets; if worn or missing, replace them.
If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing,
replace it.
If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing,
replace it.
Tighten it.
If knocking sounds continue when running or loose,
replace the motor. If the motor hums or noise
appears to be internal while running, replace motor.
Check voltage. See the limits on the preceeding
page. If not within limits, call an electrician.
Check the wire connections, if loose, repair or
replace the terminal. If wires are off, refer to wiring
diagram for identification, and replace. Check wire
locations. If not per wiring diagram, correct.

COMPLAINT CAUSE REMEDY
Check for continuity, refer to the wiring diagram for
terminal identification. Replace the switch if circuit is
open.
Check the position of knob If not at the coldest
setting, advance the knob to this setting and restart
unit.
Check continuity of the thermostat. Replac thermostat
if circuit is open.
Check the capacitor.
Replace if not within ±10% of manufacturers rating.
Replace if shorted, open, or damaged.
Check the compressor for open circuit or ground. If
open or grounded, replace the compressor.
Check overload if the compressor temperature is
high, cool, and retest.(If not running, replace the
compressor.)
Check the voltage. See the limits on the preced-
ing page. If not within limits, call an electrician.
Check overload if the compressor temperature
is high, cool, and retest.(If not running, replace the
compressor.)
If not running, determine the cause. Replace if
required.
Remove the cabinet. inspect the interior surface of
the condenser; if restricted, clean carefully with a
vacuum cleaner (do not damage fins) or brush. Clean
the interior base before reassembling.
If condenser fins are closed over a large area on the
coil surface, head pressures will increase, causing
the compressor to cycle. Straighten the fins or
replace the coil.
Test capacitor.
Check the terminals. If loose, repair or replace.
Check the system for a restriction.
If restricted, clean of replace.
Close if open.
Determine if the unit is properly sized for the area to
be cooled.
Check the set screw or clamp. If loose or missing,
correct.
If the blower or fan is hitting air guide, rearrange the
air handling parts.
Remove the cabinet and carefully rearrange tubing
not to contact cabinet, compressor, shroud, and
barrier.
