Wrap the insulation material around the connecting portion. 1. Overlap the connection pipe heat insulation and the indoor unit pipe heat insulation material. Bind them together with vinyl tape so that there may be no gap. 2. Wrap the area which accommodates the rear piping housing section with vinyl tape.
Installation Information. For left piping. Follow the instruction below. Good case • Press on the upper side of clamp and unfold the tubing to downward slowly. Bad case • Following bending type from right to left may cause damage to the tubing. 18 Room Air Conditioner...
Outdoor Align the center of the pipings and sufficiently tighten the flare nut by hand. Finally, tighten the flare nut with torque wrench until the wrench clicks. • When tightening the flare nut with torque wrench, ensure the direction for tightening follows the arrow on the wrench.

According to 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 To check the drainage. 1. Pour a glass of water on the evaporator. 2. Ensure the water flows through the drain hose of the indoor unit without any leakage and goes out the drain exit. Drain piping 1.
2. Secure the taped piping along the exterior wall. Form a trap to prevent water entering the room. 3. Fix the piping onto the wall by saddle or equivalent. 24 Room Air Conditioner Seal small openings Seal small openings around pipings with a around pipings with a gum type sealant.
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.
5. 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. 26 Room Air Conditioner 2-way valve...
