Connecting The Piping Indoor 1. Prepare the indoor unit's piping and drain hose for installation through the wall. 2. Remove the plastic tubing retainer(see the illus- tration by) and pull the tubing and drain hose away from chassis. 3. Replace only the plastic tubing holder 1, not the holder 2 in the original position.

Connection Of The Cable 1. Remove the cover control from the unit by loosening the 3 screws. 2. Dismount caps on the conduit panel. 3. Temporarily mount the conduit tubes on the conduit panel. 4. Properly connect both the power sup- ply and low voltage lines to the corre- sponding terminals on the terminal block.
Page 28
After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows: 1) Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control cover.
Checking The Drainage • Pour a glass of water on the drain pan. • Ensure the water flows through the drain hose of the indoor unit without any leakage and goes out the drain exit. Connecting area Leakage checking Drain pan Leakage checking Drain piping...
Trap is required to prevent water from entering into electrical parts. 30 Room Air Conditioner In cases where the Outdoor unit is installed above the Indoor unit perform the following. • Tape the piping and connecting cable from down to up.
Air Purging Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below. • Pressure in the system rises. • Operating current rises. • Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops. • Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing. •...
• Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid side service valves and fasten them tight. This completes air purging with a vacuum pump. The air conditioner is now ready to test run. 32 Room Air Conditioner Suction Line...

Charging Each outdoor unit is factory charged (nameplate charge) for the evaporator as well as a 7.5m(25ft) line set. Any time a line set is used either shorter or longer then the nominal 7.5m(25ft) line set length the refrigerant charge has to be adjusted. Whether the line set is made shorter or longer you must adjust the charge based on how many ft of tubing are either added or removed based on 30g(0.32oz) of R-410A per meter(foot).
