Refuse installation if not present. 5. The air conditioner must be powered by a dedicated branch line, and distribution wiring must comply with regulations.
During Installation:
1. Use neoprene wires for power connection (indoor/outdoor units). Do not lengthen or cut wires. Arrange power cords neatly. 2. Use yellow/green wire for grounding with sufficient diameter. Do not connect to water pipes, gas pipes, or lightning protection wires. 3. Follow the electrical circuit diagram inside the machine and verify connections. 4. Select connection positions between indoor and outdoor units to avoid direct sunlight.
WARNING: Do not wire in the middle of the power cord. Cutting and extending the power cord is dangerous. Improper wiring is a primary cause of accidents.
Installation of Indoor Unit:
Fixing Hanging Plate:
- Choose a sturdy wall and use a level to ensure the hanging plate is horizontal. Indoor units must be installed level to prevent water leakage.
- Leave adequate space around the unit.
- Fix the hanging plate with at least 5 screws (≥2 on the left, ≥3 on the right).
- Test the security of the hanging plate by pulling it.
Drilling Holes on Walls:
1. Hole diameter: 60-80mm. The outer side of the opening should be lower than the inner side to prevent rainwater backflow. 2. Avoid drilling through existing pipelines or steel bars within the wall.
Piping Operation:
1. Combine refrigerant pipes, drainage pipes, and indoor/outdoor wires, then wrap with wrapping tape. 2. Place the drainage hose below the connecting pipe; route wires in the middle of the upper part of the connecting pipe. 3. Piping can extend rear, right, left, lower, or rear-left. 4. Do not lift or bend the drainage hose. 5. Do not wrap the drainage hose tightly. 6. Tie tightly with binding tape from the elbow, ensuring overlap of 1/2 width. 7. If piping is from the left, wrap tape 1cm inside the unit.
Indoor Unit Installation (Piping): Pass the pipeline through the wall, install the unit from top to bottom on the hanging board, and secure the lower part with hooks. Ensure the drainage pipe is not raised. Install the wall cover correctly.
Installation of Outdoor Unit:
- Install in a stable location (e.g., on concrete).
- Use shockproof rubber pads if vibration occurs.
- The outdoor unit cannot be directly installed on the ground.
- Install on a bracket with sufficient strength and stability, fixed with expansion bolts.
- Leave sufficient space around the outdoor unit.
Connection of Pipelines:
The refrigerant pipeline connects the indoor and outdoor units. If the pipeline length exceeds 25ft (7.5m), additional refrigerant is needed. For lengths up to 25ft (7.5m), no replenishment is needed. For lengths over 25ft (7.5m), replenish 0.13oz/ft.
Pipe Connection Details: 1. Indoor Unit Connection: Connect thick and thin pipes to the indoor unit. Align centers and tighten connecting nuts by hand for 3-4 turns. Use two wrenches for final tightening according to torque specifications (1/4 pipe: 15-21 N.m; 3/8 pipe: 35-40 N.m; 1/2 pipe: 40-46 N.m). Excessive tightening can damage flares. 2. Outdoor Unit Connection: Connect the pipeline to the shut-off valve using the same method as the indoor unit connection. Use a wrench to clamp the valve body and a torque wrench for the connecting nut.
Drainage Pipeline:
Ensure a downward tilt for condensate water discharge. Avoid situations where the pipe is raised high, trapped air, the end is immersed in water, or the distance from the ground is less than 5cm.
If the indoor unit drainage pipe is not long enough, use the attached drainage hose. If the drainage hose passes through indoors, wrap it with insulation material to prevent condensation.
Indoor Unit Drainage Experiment:
Pour water into the indoor unit evaporator. If it flows out of the wall pipe, it is normal.
Trial Operation Procedure:
Before trial operation, check wiring, piping, shut-off valve status, and grounding. When turning on power, the indoor unit beeps. Use the remote control to test heating (set to 25°C when room temp is 0-20°C) and cooling (set to 16°C when room temp is 20-45°C).
Trial Operation Inspection:
Indoor Unit: Check for normal noise, indicator lights, and drainage. Outdoor Unit: Check for abnormal sound/vibration, impact of sound/wind/water on neighbors, and gas leakage. Remote Control: Check if all buttons work and if the indoor unit beeps upon signal transmission.
Troubleshooting
Electrical Wiring Diagram:
The diagram shows connections for power input (To Power), Indoor Unit, and Outdoor Unit, specifying wire colors like BK (Black), WH (White), Y/G (Yellow/Green), BN (Brown), BU (Blue), RD (Red).
Common Phenomena and Faults:
Phenomenon | Reason |
---|---|
Unable to operate | Check power plug, remote control operation, and voltage. If power is unstable or out due to thunderstorms, unplug and wait 3 minutes before plugging back in or suspend use. |
The compressor stops running during operation | In dehumidification mode, the compressor cycles. Check if indoor temperature has reached the set temperature. Check for unstable voltage. |
In heating mode without heating blowing out | Check if the compressor is in the delay phase (for protection). Wait after compressor starts. Heating system may prevent cold air blow-out. Check if defrosting is occurring; heating will resume automatically. |
Poor cooling or heating effect | Check if the filter screen is dirty. Check if air conditioning inlet and outlet are blocked. Check if room temperature is too low in heating mode. |
High operating noise | May be the sound of refrigerant flowing in the pipeline or refrigerant backflow during defrosting. |
Remote control display is abnormal | Check battery polarity and if buttons are stuck. Remove and reinstall the battery. |
Air conditioner leaks condensate | Dew may form at the air outlet during prolonged operation. Water droplets from connecting pipes/valves are normal in high humidity. Do not place valuables under the indoor unit. |
For fault codes of the frequency converter, refer to the description inside the outdoor unit top cover.
Installation Notes: 1. Recognize wire colors, serial numbers, and diameters. Ensure correct correspondence between indoor and outdoor unit power connection wires to avoid damage or accidents. 2. The yellow/green line is the grounding wire; ensure reliable grounding to prevent electric shock. 3. Securely fix the power supply connection line with a cable pressing plate. Straighten wires and wrap excess neatly to prevent wear. 4. Ensure screws on wiring terminals are tightened. Gently pull wires to confirm security. 5. If connecting wires are short, replace with longer ones of compliant diameter and color. Do not extend short wires.
Test Run:
After confirming pipeline joints are tightened, proceed with pipeline cleaning and air exhaust.
Vacuum Pumping and Leak Detection:
- Remove nuts from two-way and three-way valves. Connect the low-pressure hose of the pressure gauge to the maintenance port (shut-off valves closed).
- Fully open the low-pressure switch on the pressure gauge and activate the vacuum valve.
- Vacuum for approximately ten minutes. Confirm pressure gauge reads -0.1 Mpa. Turn off the low-pressure switch and vacuum pump. If pressure does not rise within 5 minutes, proceed; otherwise, vacuum again.
- After vacuuming, open the two-way valve shut-off valve counterclockwise, hold for ten seconds, then close for leak detection. Reconnect piping if a leak is found.
- Quickly unscrew the low-pressure hose and open the two-way and three-way valves with a Hex key.
- Tighten the nut onto the valve body.
Indoor Unit Drainage Experiment:
