WARNING
CAUTION
Do not install the air conditioner at any place where there is a danger of flammable gas leakage. In the event of
a gas leakage, build-up of gas near the air conditioner may cause a fire to break out.
While following the instructions in this installation manual, install drain piping to ensure proper drainage and
insulate piping to prevent condensation. Improper drain piping may result in indoor water leakage and property
damage.
Tighten the flare nut according to the specified method such as with a torque wrench. If the flare nut is too tight,
it may crack after prolonged use, causing refrigerant leakage.
Make sure to provide for adequate measures in order to pr e vent that the outdoor unit be used as a shelter by
small animals.
Small animals making contact with electrical parts can cause malfunctions, smoke or fire. Please instruct the
customer to keep the area around the unit clean.
The temperature of refrigerant circuit will be high, please keep the connecting pipework correctly insulated to
avoid injury.
The installation of the indoor unit and the connecting pipe is not allowed on the indoor side.
To be installed at the position where the air delivered from the unit can reach every corner of the room;
To avoid being affected by the outdoor air;
To avoid blockage to the air inlet or outlet of the unit;
To avoid too much oil smoke or steam;
To avoid possible generation, inflow, lingering or leakage of flammable gases;
To avoid high-frequency facilities (such as high frequency arc welders, etc.);
To avoid the places where acid solutions are frequently used;
To avoid the places where some special sprayers (sulfides) are frequently used.
Not to install on top of the musical instruments, TV,computer etc. valuable appliance. Not to install a fire
alarming device near the air outlet of the unit (during operation, the fire alarm device might be erroneously
triggered by the warm air from the unit);
To take into consideration the operational convenience and safety in installation, it is recommended to ensure
enough space between the unit and the walls.
Attention: If there are some additional function devices to install on the air conditioner, Be sure add to the
installation space for the function devices.
Either the indoor unit or the outdoor unit can be higher, but the height difference must comply the stated
requirements.
Try to reduce the bending of the piping line as much as possible so as to avoid possible negative impacts upon
the performances of the units.
Pipelines can be connected in the directions of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as indicated in Fig. 1. When the pipelines are
connected to the directions of3, 4 and 5, a groove for the pipes has to be opened at the proper place on the base
stand.
1. Installation of wall-mounting plate
Fix the wall-mounting plate firmly on the wall with screws. Make sure of the leveling of the plate. Slanted wall-
mounting plate might jeopardize the smooth discharge of the condensed water.
2. Drill holes on the wall Drill holes at places slightly below the wall-mounting plate, with hole diameter of
65mm(2-3/5″) and the outer edge of the hole 5-10mm(1/5-2/5″) lower (Fig.2) so that the condensed water can
smoothly flow out. Cut the wall penetrating pipe to proper length according to the thickness of the wall (3-
5mm(1/10-1/5) longer than the wall thickness) and insert the pipe as indicated in Fig.2.
3. Installation of drain pipe Install the pipelines of the indoor unit in accordance with the direction of the wall
holes. Wrap tightly the drain pipe and the pipelines with tape. Make sure that the drain pipe is underneath the
pipelines. (Fig.3) (When the drain pipe passes the room interior, some condensed water might occur to its
surfaces if the humidity is very high).
4. Installation of indoor unit Pass the connection wires, connecting pipelines and drain pipe through the wall hole.
Hang the indoor unit on the hooks at the top of the wall-mounting plate so that the hooks at the bottom of the
indoor unit match the hooks of the wall-mounting plate. (Fig.4)
Inspections:
a. Check if the hooks at the top and bottom are firmly fixed.
b. Check if the position of the master unit is properly leveled.
c. The drain pipe should not curve upward (Fig.5).
d. The drain pipe should be at the lower part of the wall pipes (Fig. 5).
Try to ship the product to the installation location in its original package;
As the gravity center of the unit is not at the installation center, special caution should be taken when using
hoisting cables to lift it up;
During shipping, the outdoor unit must not be slanted to over 45 degrees (Do not store the unit in a horizontal
way).
Use expansion bolts to fix the mounting supports on the wall;
Use bolts and nuts to fix the outdoor unit firmly on the supports and keep on the same level;
If the unit is installed on the wall or at the rooftop, the supports have to be firmly fixed so as to resist earthquake
or strong wind.
1. Remove the dust caps from the indoor and outdoor units, and the connecting pipe.
2. Align the joint counter of connecting pipe with the proper indoor and outdoor joint conic surfaces, tighten the
connecting nut manually.Then,make it secure with a wrench as shown Fig.7 ,applying to above torque Table 1.
a) Take off the valve covers from the stop valve and T-branch valve.
b) Take off the auxiliary cover from the T-branch valve.
c) Turn the stop valve (on small pipe using a hexagon wrench (Allen key), anti clock-wise to an angle of 90
degrees (Quarter of a turn) keep open for 4-5 seconds and then CLOSE the valve fully.
d) Check whether there is any refrigerant leakage from the pipe connections.
e) Next, push the ‘tyre inflator’ style valve on the T-branch (Larger pipe side) for 3-4 seconds using a
screwdriver or similar, to expel any left over air. CAUTION: Gas might be cold. If you notice a slight oily residue
on the tip of the screwdriver this is normal, do not worry and do not push in for more than 5 seconds even if no
oil is present.
f) VERY IMPORTANT – Finally open the stop and T-branch valves with a Hexagon Key (Allen Key) fully anti
clock-wise to allow the gas/ refrigerant to freely circulate around the system. They might be stiff, so be sure to
open them fully and carefully. Then replace the 3 valve covers tightly.
Adding Refrigent
Refrigerant must be added if the pipe measures more than 6 metres in length. This can only be added by a
professional airconditioning engineer.
Note: Do not connect the wires incorrectly, otherwise this may cause electrical damage to the unit. The appliance
should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or simply qualified personnel only to avoid a hazard. The plug
should be accessible after installing the appliance.
Finishing touches
Connect to the power source, check if the function selection keys on the remote controller are working properly.
Check if the room temperature adiustments and timer settings are working properly.
Check if the drain is smooth. Pour water into the drip tray and follow this through the drain.
Check if there is any abnormal noise or vibration during operation.
Check if there is leakage of refrigerant or an oily substance on any of the joints.
Check the indoor dust filters every 3 months, vacuum with a brush or wash in warm water with washing up
liquid only, dry naturally.
Check the outdoor unit and ensure no plants or leaves/ sticks etc. can obstruct the fan operating and that air
can flow freely through the rear cooling fins. Wash the fins gently with a hosepipe to remove grit and dust that
can collect on the fins. Isolate from power supply first and allow to dry before reconnecting.
Your system should be serviced and refrigerant levels checked annually (for larger systems this may be
required more often, by law, check with us first), please contact us to arrange this. If you have extended
warranty, you MUST have an annual service to qualify for warranty.
If you ever notice a reduction in cooling or heating efficiency, first check the filters, if they are clear, please
contact us.
Switch off if any error codes occur and contact us immediately, otherwise further damage may occur which will be
outside the scope of warranty. In wintertime you may notice steam rising from the outdoor unit during defrost, this
is normal. It is also common for the outdoor unit to drip water in the winter; this is the moisture condensing on the
cold copper coils. Please contact us if you have any doubts about the correct operation of your system. You must
contact us first for any service or warranty issues, no unauthorized work should be carried out on your system, any
such unauthorized work will not be paid by us and may invalidate any warranty.
IMPORTANT
Items to note:
Fix the machine firmly; otherwise it may produce noise and vibration, or blow over in high winds.
If using wall brackets for the outdoor unit, bolt the unit to the brackets securely, check all bolts and
serviceability of brackets and all fixings often, service or replace as required to prevent bracket failure and
injury or death. Air Conditioning Centre cannot accept any liability for damage to property or persons caused by
insufficient servicing or checking fastness and safety of all components.
Install the outdoor unit where it will not disturb your neighbor us. You may require planning permission in some
areas, if in doubt always check first with your Local Council before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: When switching between heating and cooling modes, switch off system for 3 minutes before
changing the mode to allow the refrigerant to settle.
When using heating mode, the indoor unit fan will not operate until sufficient heat has been generated by the
outdoor unit, this may take several minutes initially each time heating is selected. Please be patient and wait for
the indoor unit fan to operate and blow warm air.
AUTO MODE is designed to keep the room at a rough ambient temperature using heating and cooling. This is
more useful if you are leaving the room unattended and just want to keep it at an average temperature as it is
not that precise for temperature accuracy. The idea is designed to use minimal electricity so the temperature
range is +/- 5 degrees either way from where you have set it, this avoids the machine heating and cooling all
day and ‘fighting’ itself using lots of power unnecessarily. You will find that if you are occupying the room then
either cooling mode or heating mode will give a more accurate temperature.
