1. The pipes should be placed along the wall,
bent reasonably and hidden possibly. Min.
semidiameter of bending the pipe is 10cm.
2. If the outdoor unit is higher than the wall
hole, you must set a U-shaped curve in the
pipe before pipe goes into the room, in
order to prevent rain from getting into the
room.

Vacuum pumping
Leakage detection
1. Remove the valve caps on
the liquid valve and gas
valve and the nut of refri-
gerant charging vent.
2. Connect the charging hose
of piezometer to the refri-
gerant charging vent of gas
valve and then connect the
other charging hose to the
vacuum pump.
3. Open the piezometer com-
pletely and operate for
10-15min to check if the
pressure of piezometer re-
mains in -0.1MPa.
4. Close the vacuum pump
and maintain this status for
1-2min to check if the pres-
sure of piezometer remains
in -0.1MPa. If the pressure decreases, there may be leakage.
5. Remove the piezometer, open the valve core of liquid valve and gas valve
completely with inner hexagon spanner.
6. Tighten the screw caps of valves and refrigerant charging vent.
7. Reinstall the handle.

Check if there is leakage with leakage detector.
2. With soap water:
If leakage detector is not available, please use soap water for leakage detection.
Apply soap water at the suspected position and keep the soap water for more
than 3min. If there are air bubbles coming out of this position, there's a leakage.
