PERFORMANCE CURVES7
The standard data contained in these specifications apply only to the operation of the air conditioner under normal conditions.
Since operating conditions vary according to the areas where these units are installed. The following information has been
provided to clarify the operating characteristics of the air conditioner under the conditions indicated by the performance curve.
(1) GUARANTEED VOLTAGE
198 ~ 264V, 50Hz
(2) AIR FLOW
Air flow should be set at MAX.
(3) MAIN READINGS
(1) Indoor intake air wet-bulb temperature : °CWB
(2) Indoor outlet air wet-bulb temperature : °CWB
(3) Outdoor intake air dry-bulb temperature : °CDB
(4) Total input: W
Indoor air wet/dry-bulb temperature difference on the left side of the chart on next page shows the difference between the
indoor intake air wet/dry-bulb temperature and the indoor outlet air wet/dry-bulb temperature for your reference at service.

How to measure the indoor air wet/dry-bulb temperature difference
1. Attach at least 2 sets of wet and-dry-bulb thermometers to the indoor air intake as shown in the figure, and at least 2 sets
of wet and dry-bulb thermometers to the indoor air outlet. The thermometers must be attached to the position where air
speed is high.
2. Attach at least 2 sets of wet and dry-bulb thermometers to the outdoor air intake.
Cover the thermometers to prevent direct rays of the sun.
3. Check that the air filter is cleaned.
4. Open windows and doors of the room.
5. Press the EMERGENCY OPERATION switch once to start the EMERGENCY COOL MODE.
6. When system stabilizes after more than 15 minutes, measure temperature and take an average temperature.
7. 10 minutes later, measure temperature again and check that the temperature does not change.

TROUBLESHOOTING8
8-1. Cautions on troubleshooting
1. Before troubleshooting, check the following:
1) Check the power supply voltage.
2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for mis-wiring.
2. Take care the following during servicing.
1).Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn off the main unit first with the remote controller, and then after con-
firming the horizontal vane is closed, turn off the breaker and / or disconnect the power plug.
2) Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before removing the front panel,
the cabinet, the top panel and the electronic control P.C. board.
3) When removing the electronic control P.C. board, hold the edge of the
board with care NOT to apply stress on the components.
4) When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, hold the housing of the
connector. DO NOT pull the lead wires.
