Flaring Work
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the
following procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable.
1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes
purchased locally.

3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.

CAUTION:
• The above circuit diagram is subject to change without notice.
• The earth wire should be longer than the common wires.
• When installing, refer to the circuit diagram behind the panel front of the
indoor unit.
• Connect the wires firmly so that they may not be pulled out easily.
• Connect the wires according to color codes, referring to the wiring diagram.
CAUTION: The power cord connected to the "A" unit should be selected
according to the following specifications(Type "B" approved by HAR or

Air Purging
Air purging
The air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below.
1. Pressure in the system rises.
2. Operating current rises.
3. Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
4. Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
5. Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.
Therefore, after evacuating the system, take a leak test for the piping and tubing between the
indoor and outdoor unit.
Installation Manual 27
Installation
Test Running
1. Check that all tubing and wiring are properly connected.
2. Check that the gas and liquid side service valves are fully open.
Prepare remote controller
1. Remove the battery cover by pulling it
according to the arrow direction.
2. Insert new batteries making sure that the (+)
and (–) of battery are installed correctly.
3. Reattach the cover by pushing it back into
position.
NOTICE
• Use 2 AAA(1.5volt) batteries. Do not use
rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote
controller if the system is not used for a long
time.
NOTICE If the actual pressure is 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.
PUMP DOWN
This is performed when the unit is relocated or the refrigerant circuit is serviced.
Pump Down means collecting all refrigerant into the outdoor unit without the loss of refrigerant.
