Indoor Unit Installation

Step 2-1 Attaching the mounting bracket to the wall
1 Hold the mounting bracket against the wall at the selected installation position (Step 1-3 on page 10), making sure that the screw holes align with the center of the studs in the wall. If the screw locations do not align with the studs, use wall anchors.
CAUTION
· The recommended best practice is to attach the mounting bracket directly to the studs in the wall. If you did not find a suitable location with studs (in Step 1-3 on page 10), or if the wall is concrete, you must use wall anchors of a suitable type and weight capacity, and install them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so may cause the material surrounding the joints to crumble over time and the screws to be loosened and stripped. This may result in the unit falling from the wall, which could cause physical injury or equipment damage.
2 Using a level, make sure that the mounting bracket is level, then mark the location of the screw holes on the wall.
3 If using wall anchors, install them at the screw hole positions, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
4 Using six field-supplied mounting screws and anchors (if applicable), attach the bracket to the wall.

Step 2-2 Drilling the wall penetration
1 Determine the position of the hole through which the piping bundle (consisting of power and communication cables, refrigerant pipes, and the drain hose) will pass. Consider the following: – The hole inner diameter must be 2.5 inches (65 mm). – The recommended hole location is behind the unit so that the hole and the piping bundle will not be visible in the room. The minimum distances between the hole and the mounting bracket are:

– If the hole cannot be positioned behind the unit, find a position as close to the unit as possible. The piping bundle that exits the unit and extends to the hole will need to be attached to the wall and will be visible inside the room.
– In relation to the bracket shown above, the unit is shipped with the drain hose connection on the right, the drain hose exits the unit on the left, and the refrigerant pipes are bent to exit on the left. Thus, positioning the hole to the left requires the least effort. If you position the hole to the right or below the unit, you will need to move the drain hose connection to the left and bend the pipes so that the hose and pipes exit to the right or bottom. See the figure in step 3 on page 17.

3 Based on the hole location, determine where the piping bundle (drain hose, refrigerant pipes, and cables) will exit the unit.

IMPORTANT
· When installing the unit, always connect the refrigerant pipes first, followed by the electrical cables. For disassembly, always disassemble the electric cables before the refrigerant pipes.
Two short refrigerant pipes are already attached to the MiniSplit:
· The smaller-diameter pipe is for the high-pressure, two-phase refrigerant.
· The larger-diameter pipe is for the low-pressure refrigerant vapor.

Left Right

Rear right or left <Side view>
NOTE · The left or right exit will only be used if the hole is not
positioned behind the unit.
Step 2-3 Connecting the refrigerant pipes
Connect indoor and outdoor units with field-supplied copper pipes by means of flare connections. Use insulated seamless refrigeration grade pipe only, (Cu DHP type according to ISO1337), degreased and deoxidized, suitable for operating pressures of at least 609psi and for burst pressure of at least 3000psi. Under no circumstances must sanitary type copper pipe be used.

(assembly pipe)
In Step 2-3, step 3 you determined the exit position for the piping bundle. The unit has three knockouts available for the left, right, and bottom exits. When the bundle exits directly from the rear, none of the knockouts are used.
1 If the pipes will exit directly from the rear, skip to step 3. Otherwise, cut out the appropriate knockout piece (left, right, or bottom).
2 Use a razor knife to clean the cut edges (flashing).
3 The left exit is the only position that does not require bending the pipes. For other positions, bend the pipes so that they will exit in the selected exit position.
– The bending radius should be greater than 4 inch (100 mm).
– Bend the smaller pipe gradually to prevent kinking. The larger pipe has a preinstalled spring bender to prevent kinking.
– Make sure that the pipes do not protrude from the back of the unit in a way that will make it difficult to attach the unit to the mounting bracket.
– For right and bottom exits, pull the pipes out through the selected knockout opening. For left exits, the piping connections will be made in the service space behind the indoor unit (under the cover panel).

Indoor Unit Installation

NOTE
· If you are using the right rear exit, the pipes should be long enough to extend through the wall without needing to connect the line set first. It may be easier to connect the line set outside of the building, after you have bundled the pipes and cables and passed the bundle through the wall. In this case, do not connect the line set now. Instead, complete Step 2-4 through Step 2-6, then go outside and connect the line set as described below.
4 Slowly remove the protective caps on the refrigerant pipe connections to relieve the nitrogen holding charge.
5 Connect the line set to each pipe.

Step 4-1 Performing a drain leak test
1 Pour water into the drain pan.
CAUTION
· Make sure that the water does not overflow onto the electrical connection.
2 Check for leaks at the drain connection under the cover panel.

Step 4-2 Performing pressure tests using nitrogen
1 Install the red high-side hose of an R-32-gauge manifold set to the larger liquid/vapor line’s service port.
2 Attach a pressure regulator to a tank of dry nitrogen. 3 Connect the common hose of the gauge manifold set to
the pressure regulator’s hose connection. 4 Open the service port to connect the line set to the gauge
manifold set. 5 Pressurize the line set and indoor unit with dry nitrogen to
200 psig (adjust at the pressure regulator). 6 Using a soap-bubble solution suitable for refrigeration
systems, check the four flare connections for leaks.

7 Wait 10 minutes to make sure that the pressure does not drop.
8 Increase the pressure to 400 psig and repeat steps 6 and 7.
9 Increase the pressure to 600 psig and repeat steps 6 and 7.
10 A drop in pressure during steps 7 through 9 indicates a system leak in the refrigeration line set or indoor unit. Perform a thorough leak check, repair the leak(s), and then repeat this procedure.
11 Close the gauge manifold, shut off the nitrogen tank, and remove the common hose to the pressure regulator.
12 Vent the nitrogen in lines to the atmosphere to prepare for system evacuation.

24 English

CAUTION
· Leak-detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants. The use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipework.
· If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/ extinguished.
· If leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all the refrigerants shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (using shut-off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak.
Step 4-3 Evacuating the system
The outdoor unit is loaded with sufficient R-32 refrigerant. Do not vent R-32 into atmosphere: it is a fluorinated greenhouse gas, covered by Kyoto Protocol, with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) = 675. You should evacuate the air in the indoor unit and in the pipe. If air remains in the refrigerant pipes, it affects the compressor. It may cause reduction of cooling capacity and malfunction. Use a vacuum pump.
CAUTION
· Because the system does not have filter driers, you must perform this triple evacuation procedure to remove all noncondensables and moisture from the system before charging. Failure to do so will result in reduced performance and shorter equipment life.

8 Close the gauge manifold valve, shut off the vacuum pump, and remove the common hose.
9 Connect the hose to the nitrogen pressure regulator and bleed the hose by opening the end of the common hose closest to the manifold.
10 Open the high-pressure manifold valve and slowly bring the system pressure to atmosphere (50 kPa).
11 Close the manifold and nitrogen cylinder and remove the common hose.
12 Reconnect the common hose to the vacuum pump. Repeat steps 6 through 12, alternating between breaking the vacuum with dry nitrogen and evacuating, until system evacuation has occurred three times, to the following vacuum levels:

Evacution First
Second Third

Microns 4000 2000 500

13 After evacuating to at least 500 microns for the third time, close the gauge manifold valve and wait 10 minutes, making sure that the vacuum level in the system does not decrease. If it does, a small leak is likely. Repair the leak and repeat the evacuation process.

Installation

The time required to perform each evacuation will depend on the capacity (CFM) of the vacuum pump used.

1 Install a micron vacuum gauge to the larger liquid/vapor

3 Attach a vacuum pump to the common hose of the manifold set.

4 To ensure optimal performance, verify that the vacuum pump’s oil has been changed recently.

5 With the service port closed and the manifold gauge open, start the vacuum pump and make sure that the vacuum level drops below 4000 microns (as read on the micron gauge). If it is difficult to achieve a proper vacuum, a leak in the hoses is likely. Repair the leak(s) and/ or check performance of vacuum pump, then repeat this step.

6 Open the service port to connect the system to the manifold.

7 Evacuate until 4000 microns is achieved, for at least 10 minutes.

Installation Inspection and Testing

Step 4-4 Adding refrigerant (if needed)
The outdoor unit is charged with sufficient R-32 refrigerant to support up to a 24.6 feet line set. For lengths greater than 24.6 feet, you must add 0.16 oz of refrigerant per foot of additional length, after the lines are evacuated.
1 Calculate the additional refrigerant required: Additional ounces of R32 = (Total line set feet -24.6) × 0.16
2 Connect the common hose of the manifold gauge set to the inverted R-32 refrigerant cylinder.
3 Place the refrigerant cylinder on a scale set to measure ounces.
4 Open the valve on the tank.
5 At the manifold connection, bleed the refrigerant to remove any air that may be present in the common hose.
6 Open the gauge manifold and charge the system with the amount of refrigerant calculated in step 1.
7 Close the gauge manifold valve, close the valve on the refrigerant tank, and remove the common hose.
Precautions on adding R-32 refrigerant
In addition to the conventional charging procedure, the following requirements shall be kept. · Make sure that contamination by other refrigerants
does not occur for charging. · To minimize the amount of refrigerant, keep the hoses
and lines as short as possible. · The cylinders shall be kept upright. · Make sure that the refrigeration system is earthed
before charging. · Label the system with the final system charge with
indelible ink. · Extreme care is required not to overcharge the system. · If the system must be evacuated for any reason, before
recharging system tightness must be checked with nitrogen. · After charging, check for leakage before commissioning. · Be sure to check for leakage before leaving the work area.

CAUTION
Please fill in the following with indelible ink on the refrigerant charge label supplied with this product and on this manual.

After pumping down refrigerant to inspect or relocate the outdoor unit, be sure to stop the compressor and then remove the connected pipes. – Do not operate the compressor while a valve is open due to refrigerant leakage from a pipe or an unconnected or incorrectly connected pipe. Failure to do so may cause air to flow into the compressor and too a high pressure to develop inside the refrigerant circuit, leading to an explosion or product malfunction.
1 Hold down the (Power) button on the indoor unit for 5 seconds. Beep sounds immediately to indicate that the product is ready for pump down procedure.
2 Let the compressor run for more than 5 minutes. 3 Release the valve caps on High and Low pressure side. 4 Use L-wrench to close the valve on the high pressure side. 5 After approximately 1 minute, close the valve on the low
pressure side. 6 Stop operation of the Mini-Split by pressing the
(Power) button on the indoor unit or remote control. 7 Disconnect the pipes.
CAUTION
· Compressor damage may occur if the compressor is run at a negative suction pressure.

Maintenance Procedures

Repair
Performing the gas leak tests
In case of repair of the refrigerant circuit, the following procedure must be kept to consider flammability. 1 Remove the refrigerant. 2 Flush the system with nitrogen blowing for safety 3 Repeat the previous step several times until no refrigerant is
within the system 4 Perform the repair work 5 Conduct a pressure test 6 Purge the refrigerant circuit with inert gas 7 Perform vacuuming 8 Charge with refrigerant 9 Perform a leak test 10 Perform a second leak test within one month
CAUTION
· Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used. · Flush the system with nitrogen blowing, fill the refrigerant
until the working pressure is reached, ventilate to the atmosphere, and then pull down to a vacuum state. · For the final nitrogen blowing charge, the system shall be ventilated down to the atmosphere pressure. · The procedure is vital in case of brazing on the piping. · Make sure that the outlet of the vacuum pump is not closed to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available. · Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the Mini-Split.
Component checking
· Sealed electrical equipment shall be replaced. · Particular attention shall be paid to the following to
ensure safety while working on electrical components: – The casing shall not be modified because it can
affect the level of protection. The corresponding modifications include damage to cables and seals, excessive number of connections, terminals that do not comply with original specifications, incorrect fitting of glands, etc. – Ensure that the apparatus is mounted securely. – Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded to prevent the ingress of flammable atmospheres. – Replacement parts shall be following the manufacturer’s specifications. · Intrinsically safe components must be replaced.

Decommissioning
The following requirements must be fulfilled before and while taking the decommissioning procedure:
· Only qualified, licensed professionals shall perform refrigerant recovery and decommissioning. Before decommissioning, the worker shall become familiar with the product.
· The entire refrigerant shall be recovered safely. · Before starting the process, oil and refrigerant samples
shall be taken just in case analysis is required for reuse.
· Before starting the process, a power supply must be available.
1 Be familiar with the equipment details.
2 Isolate the system electrically.
3 Before starting the process, make sure that:
· Any mechanical equipment is available for handling refrigerant cylinders.
· All PPE (personal protective equipment) is available for servicing.
· The recovery process shall be supervised by a competent person.
· The recovery equipment and cylinders comply with the standards.
4 Pump down the refrigeration system, if possible.
5 If vacuuming is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be easily removed from the parts of the system.
6 Make sure that the cylinders are placed on the scales before recovery.
7 Run the recovery system following the manufacturer’s instructions.
8 Do not overcharge the cylinders. (No more than 80 %)
9 Be sure to keep the cylinder within the maximum working pressure, even temporarily.
10 After charging, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are promptly removed from the site and all isolation valves are closed.
11 Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it is cleaned and checked.
12 After decommissioning, the system shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned. The label shall be dated and signed.
13 Ensure that there are labels on the equipment indicating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
