SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

ead the follow SAFETY PRECAUTIONS carefully before installation.

lectrical work must be installed by a licensed electrician. Be sure to use the correct rating

f the power plug and main circuit for the model to be installed.

ncorrect installation due to ignoring of the instruction will cause harm or damage.

The seriousness is classified by the following indications.

This symbol indicates the possibility of death or serious injury.

The items to be followed are classified by the symbols:

Symbol with background white denotes item that is PROHIBITED from doing.

CAUTION

This symbol indicates the possibility of injury or damage to property.

WARNING

1) Engage dealer or specialist for installation. If installation done by the user is defective, it will cause water

leakage, electrical shock fire.

2) Install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water

leakage, electrical shock fire.

3) Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for installation. otherwise, it will cause the set to fall,

water leakage, electrical shock fire.

4) Install at a strong and firm location which is able to withstand the set s weight. If the strength is not enough

or installation is not properly done, the set will drop and cause injury.

5) For electrical work, follow the local national wiring standard, regulation and this installation instructions. An

independent circuit and single outlet must be used. If electrical circuit capacity is not enough or defect found

in electrical work, it will cause electrical shock fire.

6) Use the specified cable and connect tightly and clamp the cable so that no external force will be acted on

the terminal. If connection or fixing is not perfect, it will cause heat-up or fire at the connection.

7) Wiring routing must be properly arranged so that control board cover is fixed properly. If control board cover

is not fixed perfectly, it will cause heat-up at connection point of terminal, fire or electrical shock.

8) When carrying out piping connection, take care not to let air substances other than the specified

refrigerant go into refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, it will cause lower capacity, abnormal high pressure

in the refrigeration cycle, explosion and injury.

9) Do not modify the length of the power supply cord or use of extension cord, and do not share the

single outlet with other electrical appliances. Otherwise, it will cause fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION

1) This equipment must be earthed and installed with earth leakage current breaker. It may cause electrical

shock if grounding is not perfect.

2) Do not install the unit at place where leakage of flammable gas may occur. In case gas leaks and

accumulates at surrounding of the unit, it may cause fire.

3) Carry out drainage piping as mentioned in installation instructions. If drainage is not perfect, water

may enter the room and damage the furniture.

 The power wiring should always follow NEC and local codes, with respect to the unit’s, rating plate. See

installation manual for additional information. Main power connection is 208/230V/1PH~60HZ.

 The communicating cable, which connects between the indoor and outdoor units must meet all NEC and

local codes, with respect to the unit’s rating plate. We recommend using 14 AWG/4 conductor Stranded THHN

6ФФV cable.

 Oil trap should be installed per (3-5 meters)10-15ft.

 Outdoor connections are ¼” (Ф6.35 mm) liquid and 3/8” (Ф9.52 mm) gas, therefore a reducer is

provided with all 12/18k indoor sections.

NOTES:

• Do not exceed 50 ft. (15m) per each indoor unit.

• Minimum pipe lenght of 10ft (3m) is required for each indoor unit.

• Oil trap should be installed per (3-5 meters) 10-15 ft., where outdoor unit is located above indoor unit.

• Outdoor connections are 1/4” (f6.35 mm) liquid and 3/8” (f9.52 mm) gas, therefore a are nut adapter

is provided with all 12/18k indoor sections.

Read completely, then follow step by step.

Indoor unit

Do not expose the indoor unit to heat or steam.

Select a place where there are no obstacles

in front or around the unit.

Make sure that condensation drainage can

be conveniently routed away.

Do not install near a doorway.

Ensure that the proper clearance is maintained per Fig.1.

Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unnecessary damage to the wall.

Variations in pipe length may require adjustment to refrigerant charge.

There should not be any direct sunlight. Otherwise, the sun will fade the plastic cabinet and

affect its appearance. If unavoidable, sunlight prevention should be taken into consideration.

Outdoor unit

If an awning is built over the outdoor unit to

prevent direct sunlight or rain exposure,

make sure that heat radiation from the

condenser is not restricted.

Ensure that the clearance is maintained

per Fig 2.

Do not place animals and plants in the path

of the air inlet or outlet.

Take the air conditioner weight into account

and select a place where noise and vibration

will not be an issue.

Select a place so that the warm air and noise from

the air conditioner do not disturb neighbors.

1. Install the main body

A. The existing ceiling (to be horizontal)

a. Please cut a quadrangular hole of 600¡600mm

in the ceiling according to the shape of the

installation paper board. (Refer to Fig.15 & 16)

The center of the hole should be at the same

position of that of the air conditioner body.

Determine the lengths and outlets of the conn-

ecting pipe, drain pipe and cables.

To balance the ceiling and to avoid vibration,

please enforce the ceiling when necessary.

b. Please select the position of installation hooks

according to the hook holes on the installation

board.

Drill four holes of 12mm, 50~55mm deep at the

selected positions on the ceiling. Then embed

the expansible hooks(fittings).

Face the concave side of the installation hooks

toward the expansible hooks. Determine the

length of the installation hooks from the height

of ceiling, then cut off the unnecessary part.

If the ceiling is extremely high, please determine

the length of the installation hook according to

facts.

Cut the installation hook open in the middle

position, then use apropriate length of reinforcing

rod ( 12) to weld together.
