Seaside Applications and Installation
1. Air conditioners should not be installed in areas where corrosive gases, such as acid or alkaline gas, are
produced.
2. Do not install the product where it could be exposed to sea wind (salty wind) directly. It can result
in corrosion to the product. Particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could
cause product malfunction or inefficient performance.
3. If the outdoor unit is installed close to the seaside, ensure that it is not exposed directly to
the sea wind.
1. Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit)
1) If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind should be avoided.
Install the outdoor unit on the opposite side of the sea wind direction.
Sea wind
Sea wind
2) To install the outdoor unit on the seaside, set up a windbreaker/barrier, to lessen the unit's exposure to sea air
• It should be strong enough (like concrete) to obstruct
the wind from the sea.
Windbreaker/Barrier
• The height and width should be more than 150% of
the outdoor unit.
Sea wind
• A minimum of 70cm (27.6inches)
of space between outdoor unit and the windbreaker/
barrier for easy air flow.
3) Select a well-drained place.
Periodic ( more than once/year ) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the heat exchanger
using water is recommended.

Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out the correct flaring work by
using the following procedures.
Cut the pipes
1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes
purchased locally.
Copper
pipe
Slanted Uneven Rough
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and
the outdoor unit.

3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5 m (5.0 ft) longer than the pipe
length.

1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross
section of pipe/tube.

2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a
downward direction as you remove burrs in
order to avoid dropping burrs into the tubing.

For right rear piping
1. Route the indoor tubing and the drain hose in

3. Tape the tubing, drain hose, and the
connecting on cable. Be sure that the drain
hose is located on the lowest side of the
bundle. Locating on the upper side can cause
the condensation to overflow in the drain pan
inside the indoor unit.
If the drain hose is routed inside the room,
insulate the hose with an insulation material*
so that dripping from "sweating"(condensation)
will not damage furniture or floors.
*Foamed polyethylene or equivalent is
recommended.

connecting portion of the indoor
unit with insulation material and
secure it with two kinds of vinyl

Air Purging and Evacuation
Air Purging and Evacuation
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, the indoor/outdoor unit and connecting tube must be checked for leaks and vacuumed
to remove incondensible gas and moisture in the system.
Leak Checking
1. Do a leakage test of all joints of the
tubing(both indoor and outdoor) and both gas
and liquid side service valves with soap
bubbles.
Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off
the soap with a clean cloth.
Preparation
• Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side
tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units have
been properly connected and all wiring for the test
run has been completed. Remove the service
valve caps from both the gas and the liquid sides
on the outdoor unit. Check that both the liquid and
the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit
are kept closed at this stage.
2. After the system is found to be free of leaks,
relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the
charge hose connector at the nitrogen
cylinder. When the system pressure is
reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from
the cylinder.
Leakage test
• Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges)
and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port
with charge hoses.
Indoor unit
CAUTION: Be sure to use a
manifold valve for leak testing.
The high side manifold valve must
always be kept closed.
Outdoor unit
• Pressurize the system to no more than 150
P.S.I.G. with dry nitrogen gas and close the
cylinder valve when the gauge reading
reached 150 P.S.I.G. Next, test for leaks with
liquid soap.
Manifold valve
Pressure
CAUTION: To avoid nitrogen
entering the refrigerant system in a
liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be
higher than its bottom when you pressurize
the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in
a vertical standing position.

Air Purging and Evacuation
Evacuation
1. Connect the charge hose end described in
the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to
evacuate the tubing and indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve is
open. Then, run the vacuum pump.
Indoor unit
The operation time for evacuation varies with
tubing length and capacity of the pump.
[Each Room] The vacuum pump must be
operated less than 0.8torr (0.015 psi) of the
gage pressure.
Outdoor unit
2. When the desired vacuum is reached, close
the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve and stop
the vacuum pump.
Finishing the job
1. With a service valve wrench, turn the valve
stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise to
fully open the valve.

2. Turn the valve stem of gas side valve

3. Loosen the charge hose connected to the
gas side service port slightly to release the
pressure, then remove the hose.

Close
4. Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the
gas side service port and fasten the flare nut
securely with an adjustable wrench. This
process is very important to prevent leakage
from the system.
Vacuum pump
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 for test
running.
NOTICE
: Repeat evacuation procedure for each
indoor unit.

Charging
Charging
I
Each outdoor unit is factory charged (see rating plate) for the evaporator as well as a 7.5 m (25 ft) line
set for each indoor line.
Any time total line set is used either shorter or longer then the nominal, which is for Single Zone
= 7.5m, Dual Zone = 15m, and Tri-Zone = 22.5 (Single Zone = 25ft, Dual Zone = 50ft, and Tri
Zone = 75 ft), the line set length the refrigerant charge has to be adjusted.
I 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 20 g (0.22 oz) of R410A per meter(foot).

If you are ever uncertain of the unit charge, reclaim, evacuate and weigh in the correct charge using
the charge amount specified on the unit's rating plate, adjusting for line sets longer or shorter than
7.5 m(25 ft) for each indoor unit.

Evaluation of the performance
Operate all indoor units for 15~20 minutes, then
check the system refrigerant charge:
Intake temperature
1.Measure the pressure of one of the gas side
service valves.
Discharge air
2. Measure the temperature of the intake and
discharge of air.
3. Ensure the difference between the intake air
temperature and the discharge air is more
than 8°C(14.4°F).
4. For reference, optimum gas pressure for
cooling is shown below.

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 is
lower than shown, the system is most likely
undercharged, and charge should be added.
