No gas charge
is needed
Pipe length

Charge the prescribed
amount of gas
Tighten the cap to the service port to obtain the initial status.
Retighten the cap.
Leak test
After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on gas and liquid pipe sides.
Operating without fully opening lowers the performance and causes trouble.
Remove the gage manifold valve quickly from the service port of the stop valve.
,
,
Leave it as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure the pointer
of the gage manifold valve remains in the same position.
Check the vacuum with the gage manifold valve, then close
the gage manifold valve, and stop the vacuum pump.
Run the vacuum pump for more than 15 minutes and at this
time confirm that the pressure gage indicates –0.1 Mpa.
When vacuuming
Connect the gage manifold valve and the vacuum pump to
the service port of the stop valve on the liquid pipe side of the
outdoor unit.
Connect the refrigerant pipes (both the liquid and gas pipes)
between the indoor and the outdoor units.
Remove the service port cap of the stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas pipe.(The stop valve will not
work in its initial state fresh out of the factory (totally closed with cap on))

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 pro-
vided to clarify the operating characteristics of the air conditioner under the conditions indicated by the performance curve.
(1) GUARANTEED VOLTAGE
Rated voltage : ±10% (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
(5) Indoor intake air dry-bulb temperature : °CDB
(6) Outdoor intake air wet-bulb temperature : °CWB
(7) 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-bulb/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 room.
5. Press the EMERGENCY OPERATION switch once(twice) to start the EMERGENCY COOL(HEAT) 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.

Elctronic Controller
1. Safety Control
(1) Time Delay Safety Control
 3 minutes delay for compressor---The compressor is ceased for 3minutes to balance the pressure in the
refrigeration cycle in order to protect the compressor.
 2 minutes delay for 4-way valve---The 4-way valve is ceased for 2 minutes to prevent the
refrigerant-gas abnormal noise when the HEATING operation is OFF or switch to the other operation
mode.
 20 seconds delay for indoor fan--- When the assistant thermistor turns off, the indoor fan operates in
low speed for 20 seconds to release the heat of indoor unit.
(2) Indoor Pipe Temperature Sensor Frost Prevention Control
When the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads 0℃or below for 5 minutes, the indoor pipe temperature
sensor frost prevention control starts. The compressor and outdoor fan stop and indoor fan operates at high
speed for 3 minutes. After that, if the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads less than 5℃this control
prolonged until the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads 5℃or more.
(3) High Temperature Protection Control
During HEATING operation, the outdoor fan motor and compressor are controlled by the indoor pipe
temperature to prevent the high temperature of compressor.
Outdoor fan OFF: 52℃
Outdoor fan ON:48℃
Compressor OFF:62℃
Compressor ON:48℃
2. “I Feel” Mode Operation

(5) Defrost
Defrosting of the outdoor heat exchange is controlled by the microprocessor with detection by the defrost
sensor.
 Defrost starting conditions
When the conditions of a) or b) is satisfy, the defrosting operation starts.
a) Under the heating operation, the compressor cumulative operation time exceeds 50 minutes and the
temperature of the outdoor defrost sensor reads lower than －8℃
b) Under the heating operation, the compressor cumulative operation time exceeds 50 minutes, if the
indoor pipe temperature sensor reads lower than 40℃continuously for 2minutes.
Note: If haven’t the outdoor pipe temperature sensor that use the condition b) to defrost, against
use the condition a).
 Defrost terminating conditions
When the condition c) or d) is satisfy, the defrosting operation stops.
c) The outdoor defrost sensor reads 15℃or more.
d) The defrosting time exceeds 10 minutes.

effected by the signal of the remote controller about assistant thermistor ON/OFF buttons.
1) When the condition all of A~G are satisfy, the assistant thermistor opens.
A. Under the heating operation, the compressor operates over than 3 minutes.
B. The indoor fan operates in normal.
C. The system operates not in defrosting.
D. The assistant thermistor turn off over than 30 seconds.

8. “SLEEP” mode
When the SLEEP button is pressed, the SLEEP mode is selected as following:
 The indoor fan speed is set at the super low speed.

hour later and by 2℃2 hour later.
 When selecting HEATING operation with SLEEP mode, the set temperature will be dropped by 1℃1
hour later and 2℃2hour later.
 After the System operates in SLEEP mode for 8 hours, it will stop automatically.
9. Fan motor control
(1) Rotational frequency feedback control
The indoor fan motor is equipped with a rotational frequency sensor, and outputs signal to the
microprocessor to feedback the rotational frequency. Comparing the current rotational frequency with the
target rotational frequency, the microprocessor adjusts fan motor electric to make the current rotational
frequency close to the target rotational frequency. With this control, when the fan speed is switched, the
rotational frequency changes smoothly.
(2) When the rotational frequency feedback signal has not output for 5 seconds (or when the microprocessor
can’t detect the signal for 5 seconds), the fan motor is regarded locked-up. Then the electric current to the
fan motor is shut off. 10 seconds later, the electric current is applied to the fan motor again. During the fan
motor lock-up, the POWER indicator lamp flashes on and off to show the fan motor abnormality.
10. Auto Fan Speed Control
(1) When the auto fan speed is selected, the indoor fan motor speed is automatically controlled by the room
temperature and the set temperature.
(2) In COOLING mode, the indoor fan motor operates as following:
Fan Speed
