When wiring:
Electrical shock can cause severe personal injury or death. Only a qualified, experienced electrician
should attempt to wire this system.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when
wiring. Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
When transporting:
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when
lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your finger.
When installing...
... in a wall: Make sure the wall is strong enough to hold the unit's weight.
It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support.
... in a room: Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent "sweating" that can cause dripping and water
damage to wall and floors.
... in moist or uneven locatinons: Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks provide a solid, level foundation for the
outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.
... in an area with high winds:
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
... in a snowy area(for Heat Pump Model): Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow.
Provide snow vents.
When connecting refrigerant tubing
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box(mains) before opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit
being serviced.
• Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons can result in hazards to you and others.
Installation MUST conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code NFPA
70/ANSI C1-1993 or current edition and Canadian Electrical Code Part1 CSA C.22.1.
• The information contained in the manual is intended for use by a qualified service technician familiar with safety procedures and
equipped with the proper tools and test instruments.
• Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual can result in equipment malfunction, property damage, personal
injury and/or death.

AIR PURGING
Air purging
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant
system have undesirable effects as indicated
below.
■ Pressure in the system rises.
■ Operating current rises.
■ Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
■ Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may
freeze and block capillary tubing.
■ Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigeration system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between
the indoor and outdoor unit must be leak tested
and evacuated to remove any noncondensables
and moisture from the system.
Air purging with vacuum
pump
Preparation
■
Check that each tube(both liquid and gas
side tubes) between the indoor and
outdoor units have been properly
connected and all wiring for the test run
has been completed. Remove the service
valve caps from both the gas and the liquid
side on the outdoor unit. Note that both the
liquid and the gas side service valves on
the outdoor unit are kept closed at this
stage.
Leak test
■
Connect the manifold valve(with pressure
gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to
this service port with charge hoses.
■ Pressurize the system to no more than 150
P.S.I.G. with dry nitrogen gas and close the
cylinder valve when the gauge reading
reached 150 P.S.I.G. Next, test for leaks with
liquid soap.

■ Do a leak test of all joints of the tubing(both
indoor and outdoor) and both gas and liquid side
service valves.
Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off the
soap with a clean cloth.
■ After the system is found to be free of leaks,
relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the
charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder.
When the system pressure is reduced to normal,
disconnect the hose from the cylinder.
Be sure to use a manifold valve for air
purging. If it is not available, use a stop valve
for this purpose. The "Hi" knob of the manifold
valve must always be kept close.
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a
liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be higher than its
bottom when you pressurize the system. Usually, the
cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.
CAUTION

ENGLISH
Evacuation
■
Connect the charge hose end described in the
preceding steps to the vacuum pump to
evacuate the tubing and indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve is
open. Then, run the vacuum pump.
The operation time for evacuation varies with
tubing length and capacity of the pump. The
following table shows the time required for
evacuation.
■ When the desired vacuum is reached, close the
"Lo" knob of the manifold valve and stop the
vacuum pump.
Finishing the job
■
With a service valve wrench, turn the valve stem
of liquid side valve counter-clockwise to fully
open the valve.
■ Turn the valve stem of gas side valve
counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
■ Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas side
service port slightly to release the pressure, then
remove the hose.
■ Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas side
service port and fasten the flare nut securely with an
adjustable wrench. This process is very important to
prevent leakage from the system.
■ Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid side
service valves and fasten them tight.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump.
The air conditioner is now ready to test run.

TEST RUNNING
Settlement of outdoor unit
■ Anchor the outdoor unit with a bolt and nut Ø10mm(0.39")
tightly and horizontally on a concrete or rigid mount.
■ When installing on the wall, roof or rooftop, anchor the
mounting base securely with a nail or wire assuming the
influence of wind and earthquake.
■ In the case when the vibration of the unit is conveyed to the
hose, secure the unit with an anti-vibration rubber.
1. Check that all tubing and wiring have been
properly connected.
2. Check that the gas and liquid side service valves
are fully open.
Prepare remote control
Remove the battery cover
by pulling it according to the
arrow direction.
Insert new batteries making
sure that the (+) and (–) of
battery are installed correctly.
Reattach the cover by
pushing it back into position.
NOTE:
• Use 2 AAA(1.5volt) batteries. Do not use
rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control if the
system is not going to be used for a long time.
Evaluation of the performance
Operate unit for 15~20 minutes, then check the
system refrigerant charge:
1. Measure the pressure of the gas side service
valve.
2. Measure the temperature of the intake and
discharge of air.
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.
The air conditioner is now ready for use.

Pump Down means collecting all refrigerant in the
outdoor unit without loss in refrigerant gas.
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform Pump Down procedure with the
unit cooling mode.
Pump Down Procedure
1. Connect a low-pressure gauge manifold hose to the
charge port on the gas side service valve.
2. Open the gas side service valve halfway and purge
the air from the manifold hose using the refrigerant
gas.
3. Close the liquid side service valve(all the way in).
4. Turn on the unit's operating switch and start the
cooling operation.
5. When the low-pressure gauge reading becomes 1
to 0.5kg/cm2 G(14.2 to 7.1 P.S.I.G.), fully close the
gas side valve stem and then quickly turn off the
unit. At that time, Pump Down has been completed
and all refrigerant gas will have been collected in
the outdoor unit.
