User Notice
◆The total capacity of the indoor units which runs at the same time can not
exceed 150% of that of the outdoor units; otherwise, the cooling (heating) effect of each
indoor unit would be poor.
◆Switch the main power on 8 hours before start the unit, helpful for a successful
startup.
◆It is a normal phenomenon that the indoor unit fan will still run for 20~70
seconds after the indoor unit receives the “stop” signal so as to make full use of
after-heat for the next operation.
◆When the running modes of the indoor and outdoor units conflict, it will be
indicated on the display of the wired controller in five seconds and then the indoor unit
will stop. In this case, they can back to the normal condition by harmonizing their
running modes: the cooling mode is compatible with the dehumidifying mode and the
fan mode can go with any other mode. If the supply power fails when the unit is running,
then the indoor unit will send the “start” signal to the outdoor unit three minutes later
after power recovery.
◆During installation, the communication cable and the power cord must not be
twisted together but instead separated with an interval of at least 2cm; otherwise the
unit is likely to run abnormally.
◆This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
◆If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

The Refrigerant
Appliance filled with flammable gas R32. For repairs, strictly follow manufacturer’s
instructions only. Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour. Read specialist’s
manual.
WARNING：
To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in
the system. The used refrigerant is the fluoride R32, which is specially cleaned.
The refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. Furthermore, it can lead to explosion
under certain conditions. But the flammability of the refrigerant is very low. It can
be ignited only by fire.
Appliance shall be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger
Compared to common refrigerants, R32 is a nonpolluting refrigerant with no harm
to the ozonosphere. The influence upon the greenhouse effect is also lower. R32
has got very good thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy
efficiency. The units therefore need a less filling.
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those
recommended by the manufacture. Should repair be necessary, contact your nea-
rest authorized Service Centre. Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel
may be dangerous. The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously

c.Installation Steps of the Round Air Supply Duct
1) Preinstall the outlet of the round duct on the transition duct and then fix it by the
self-tapping screw.
2) Place the transition duct to the air outlet of the unit and fix it with rivet.
3) Connect the outlet to the duct and then tighten them with tape. Other installation
details are not covered herein.
CAUTION！
①.The maximum length of the duct means the maximum length of the air supply
duct plus the maximum length of the return air duct.
②.For the unit with the auxiliary electric heating function, if the round duct is to be
adopted, then the straight length of the transition duct can not be less than 200mm.
③.The duct is either rectangular or round and connected with the air inlet/outlet of
the indoor unit. Among all air supply outlets, at least one should be kept open. As for
the round duct, it needs a transition duct of which the size should match with the air
supply outlet of the unit. After the fitting of the transition duct, it is the turn of the round
duct, which is better to be kept 10 meters far away from the corresponding diffuser. The
standard accessories supplied is the transition duct 200mm long and round air outlet
φ200, however, those of other specifications can be purchased.

and the other to the return air louver. For the sake of the convenience to freely adjust
the height, a cutting of canvas duct will be helpful, which can be reinforce and folded by
８＃iron wire.
d. More noise is likely to be produced in the downward return air mode than the
backward return air mode, so it is suggestive to install a silencer and a plenum box to
minimize the noise.
e. The installation method can be chose with considering the conditions of the
building and maintenance etc., as shown in Fig.12.

8 Installation of the Condensate Pipe
a. The condensate pipe should keep a inclination angle of5～10°, which can
facilitate the drainage of the condensate water. And the joints of the condensate pipe
should be insulated by the insulation material to prevent condensing(see Fig.13).
Fig.13 Thermal Insulation of the Condensate Pipe

12
b. There is a condensate outlet on both left and right sides of the unit. Once one is
confirmed to be used, the other should be clogged by a rubber plug, bundled by the
binding wire and insulated by the insulation material to avoid water leakage.
c. The right outlet is defaulted to be clogged with a plug.
CAUTION！
No water leakage is allowed on the joint of the condensate pipe.
9 Design of the Drain Pipe
a. The drain pipe should always keep an inclination angle(1/50～1/100) to avoid
the water gathering in some certain place.
b. During the connection of the drain pipe and device, do not impose too much
force on the pipe on one side of the device and the pipe should be fixed as close as to
the device.
c. The drain pipe can be the ordinary hard PVC pipe which can be purchased
locally. During the connection, inset the end of the PVC pipe to the drain outlet, then
tighten it with the drain hose and binding wire but never connect the drain outlet and the
drain hose by adhesive.
d. When the drain pipe is used for multiple devices, the public section of the pipe
should be 100mm lower than the drain hole of each device and it is better to use the
much thicker pipe for such a purpose.
10 Installation of the Drain Pipe
a. The diameter of the drain pipe should be larger or equal to that of the refrigerant
pipe (PVC pipe, outer dimater:25mm, wall thickness≥1.5mm.
b. The drain pipe should be as short as possible and with at least a 1/100 degree of
slope to avoid forming air pockets.
c. If the proper degree of slope of the drain pipe is not allowed, a lift pipe should be
installed.
d. A distance 1-1.5m should be kept between the hangers to avoid the drain hose
making a turn.

Fig.14
e. Insert the drain hose into the drain hole and tighten it with clamps.
f. Wrap the clamps with large amount of sponge for thermal insulation.
g. The drain hose inside the room also should be insulated.
Fig.15
11 Precautions for the Lift Pipe
The installation height of the lift pipe should be less than 850mm. It is
recommended to set an inclination angle 1°～2° for the lift pipe toward the drainage
direction. If the lift pipe and the unit form a right angle, the height of the lift pipe must be
less than 800mm.
