5. Work Procedure
Works shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable
gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.

6. General Work Area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of
work being carried out. Working in confined spaces shall be avoided.

7. Checking For Presence Of Refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. no sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

8. Presence Of Fire Extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry power or CO2 fire
extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

9. No Ignition Sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM which involves exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. "No Smoking" signs shall be displayed.

10. Ventilated Area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any work that could produce ignition. Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction. Ventilation continue during the period that the work is carried out. Proper ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

11. Checks To The Refrigeration Equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's technical department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations using FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS:

DURASTAR.COM

R

· the actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
· the ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed; · if an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuits shall be checked for the
presence of refrigerant; · marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible, marking and signs that are
illegible shall be corrected; · refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be
exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.
12. Checks To Electrical Devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, and adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised. Initial safety checks shall include: · that capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of
sparking; · that there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or
purging the system; · that there is continuity of earth bonding; · Sealed electrical components shall be replaced if it's damage; · Intrinsically safe components must be replaced if it's damage.
13. Wiring
Check that wiring will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
14. Detection Of Flammable Refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for refrigerant systems: · Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of
FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need recalibration to a sensitivity of 0.18 oz (5 g) per year. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. · Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.

DURASTAR.COM

R

Note Examples of leak detection fluids are bubble method and fluorescent method agents.
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut o valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. See the following instructions for removal of refrigerant.

15. Evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs - or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be followed, since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to: · safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations; evacuate; · purge the circuit with NITROGEN · evacuate (requirement); · continuously flush or purge with NITROGEN when using flame to open circuit; and · open the circuit The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with OXYGEN-FREE NITROGEN (OFN) to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerant purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OXYGEN-FREE NITROGEN (OFN) and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum (requirement). This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system (requirement). When the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place.
The outlet for the vacuum pump shall not be close to any potential ignition sources, and ventilation shall be available.

16. Charging Procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed: · Works shall be undertaken with appropriate tools only (In case of uncertainty, please consult
the manufacturer of the tools for use with flammable refrigerants). · Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging
equipment. · Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in
them. · Cylinders shall be kept upright. · Ensure that the refrigeration system is grounded prior to charging the system with refrigerant. · Label the system when charging is complete (if not already). · Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system. · Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OXYGEN FREE NITROGEN · (OFN). The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. · A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.

17. Decommissioning Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of recovered refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced. · Become familiar with the equipment and its operation. · Isolate system electrically · Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
1. mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders; 2. all personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly; 3. the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person; 4. recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards. · Pump down refrigerant system, if possible. · If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system. · Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place. · Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with instructions. · Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80 % volume liquid charge) · Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily. · When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off. · Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.
18. Labeling
Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. For appliances containing FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT.
19. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated. for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant (i. e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-o valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible,cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition.

DURASTAR.COM

11

R

The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The compressor body shall not be heated by an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
20. Unventilated Areas
· An unventilated area where the appliance using FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS is installed shall be so constructed that should any refrigerant leak, it will not stagnate so as to create a fire or explosion hazard.
· If appliances connected via an air duct system to one or more rooms with A2L REFRIGERANTS are installed in a room with an area less than Amin,that room shall be without continuously operating open flames (e.g. an operating gas appliance) or other POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES (for e.g. an operating electric heater, hot surfaces). A flame-producing device may be installed in the same space if the device is provided with an active flame arrest.
· Auxiliary devices which may be a POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCE shall not be installed in the duct work. Examples of such POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES are hot surfaces with a temperature exceeding 700 °C and electric switching devices.
· Only auxiliary devices(such as certificated heater kit) approved by the appliance manufacturer or declared suitable with the refrigerant shall be installed in connecting ductwork.
· For duct connected appliances, false ceilings or drop ceilings may be used as a return air plenum if a REFRIGERANT DETECTION SYSTEM is provided in the appliance and any external connections are also provided with a sensor immediately below the return air plenum duct joint.

DUCT REQUIREMENTS
NOTE
This unit is not designed for non-ducted (free-blow) applications
· Air supply and return may be handled in one of several ways best suited to the installation (See unit dimensions for duct inlet and outlet dimensions). The vast majority of problems encountered with ducted systems can be linked to improperly designed or installed duct systems. It is critical for the function and longevity of the unit that the ductwork is correctly designed and installed.
· Use flexible duct collars to minimize the transmission of vibration/noise into the conditioned space.
· It is recommended to use lined return and supply duct near the unit when noise is a concern. · The ductwork should be assembled according to the instructions. · Wrap ductwork with insulation as specified by local codes, especially when installing in an
unconditioned space. This will avoid condensation formation and building damage. · The supply air duct connection should be properly sized by use of a transition to match the
unit opening. · All ducts should be suspended using flexible hangers and never fastened directly to the structure.
WARNING
Do not install this air handler or draw return air from where a gas-fueled appliance (i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide-producing device (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.
WARNING
There must be an airtight seal between the bottom of the air handler and the return air plenum. Use fiberglass sealing strips, foil duct tape, caulking, or an equivalent sealing method between the plenum and the air handler cabinet to ensure a tight seal.

DURASTAR.COM

29

R
CONDENSATE PIPING INSTALLATION
· Insulate all piping to prevent condensation, which could lead to water damage.
· The drainpipe is used to drain water away from the unit. If the drainpipe is bent or installed incorrectly, water may leak and cause a water-level switch malfunction.
· In HEAT mode, the outdoor unit will discharge water. Ensure that the drain hose is placed in an appropriate area to avoid water damage and icy conditions on walkways.
· DO NOT pull the drainpipe forcefully. This could disconnect it.
· Please apply sealant around the places where the wires, refrigerant pipes and condensate pipes enter the cabinet.
· Use duct tape or flexible sealant to seal closed any space around the holes where the drain lines exit the cabinet. Warm air must not be allowed to enter through any gaps or holes in the cabinet.
· After removal of drain pan plug(s), check drain hole(s) to verify that drain opening is fully open and free of any debris. Also check to make sure that no debris has fallen into the drain pan during installation that may plug up the drain opening.
· On units where the blower "draws" rather than "blows" air through the coil, traps must be installed in the condensate drain lines (primary and auxiliary, if used). Traps prevent the blower from drawing air through the drain lines into the air supply.
NOTE
A field-fabricated secondary drain pan, with a drain pipe to the outside of the building, is required in all installations over a finished living space or in any area that may be damaged by overflow from the main drain pan. The drain pan must be installed under the entire unit and its condensate drain line must be routed to a location such that the user will see the condensate discharge. For horizontal installations, a secondary drain pan-not supplied-must be installed.

REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTION
All field piping must be completed by a licensed technician and must comply with the local and national regulations.
In the event of refrigerant leakage, measures should be taken to prevent the refrigerant concentration in the room from exceeding the safe limit. If the refrigerant leaks and its concentration exceeds its proper limit, hazards due to lack of oxygen may result. Ventilate the area immediately.

WARNING
When connecting refrigerant piping, do not let substances or moisture other than specified refrigerant enter the unit or pipes. Run nitrogen through the refrigerant tubing when brazing to avoid carbon build up. The presence of foreign materials will lower the unit's capacity and can cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigeration system. This can result in explosion and personal injury.

REFRIGERANT PIPE LENGTH The length of refrigerant piping will affect the performance and efficiency of the unit. Nominal efficiency is tested with a pipe length of 25 feet (7.6 meters). A minimum pipe run of 10 feet (3 meters) is required to minimize vibration and excessive noise.
ADDING ADDITIONAL REFRIGERANT Each outdoor unit is factory charged with enough refrigerant to support up to 25' (7.5m) per zone. This is based on a one way liquid line measurement from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. Systems with line sets that exceed this length will require additional refrigerant (see the following chart). The refrigerant should be charged from the service port on the outdoor unit's low pressure valve. Additional refrigerant information can be found in the SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS at WWW.SERVICE.DURASTAR.COM. Additional refrigerant can be calculated using the following chart and formula:

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The TOTAL SYSTEM CHARGE WEIGHT should be noted on the label adjacent to the unit rating label on the outdoor unit.
OIL TRAPS Oil traps are necessary for the continued performance of the system if the indoor and outdoor units are installed at significantly different heights.
CAUTION
If oil flows back into the outdoor unit's compressor, this might cause liquid compression or deterioration of oil return. Oil traps in the rising gas piping can prevent this.

If the unit is less than 36000Btu/h an oil trap should be installed every 20ft (6m) of vertical suction line rise.
If the unit is greater than 36000Btu/h an oil trap should be installed every 32.8ft (10m)of vertical suction line rise.

Refrigerant Pipe Connection Instructions
STEP 1: CUT PIPES
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure efficient operation and minimize leaks and the need for future maintenance. 1. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units. 2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe length a little longer than the measured distance. 3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90o angle. 4. Do not damage, deform, or dent the pipe while cutting.

Oblique Rough Warped

STEP 2: REMOVE BURRS
Burrs can affect the airtight seal of the refrigerant piping connection and must be completely removed. 1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe. 2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.
Pipe Reamer
Point downward
STEP 3: FLARE PIPE ENDS
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal. 1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials
from entering the pipe. 2. Sheath pipe with insulating material. 3. Place flare nuts on both ends of the pipe. Make sure they are facing in the right direction as
you cannot change their orientation after flaring.

R
STEP 4: CONNECT PIPES
When connecting refrigerant pipes, be careful not to use excessive torque or to deform the piping in any way. You should first connect the low-pressure pipe, then the high-pressure pipe. When bending connective refrigerant piping, the minimum bending radius is 4 inches (10cm). Do not leave coils in the refrigerant line sets. Remove excess line length to ensure proper system operation.
Radius ~4" (10cm)

WARNING
Do not leave coils in the refrigerant line sets. All excess line length must be removed to ensure proper system operation.
Connecting Piping
1. Apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil on the flare part of the flare nut, but not the threads. If oil is applied to the threads the torque values can not be reached and the seal will leak.
2. Align the center of the two pipes that you will connect.

INDOOR UNIT WIRING
WARNING
Failure to follow warnings may lead to equipment damage, injury or death. Field line side wires may remain live, DO NOT perform service or maintenance until the main disconnect is pulled.

WARNING
While connecting the wires, strictly follow the wiring diagram, and refer to the nameplate for electrical information. Wire according to NEC and local codes. The refrigerant circuit can become very hot. Keep the interconnection cable away from the copper tube.
ATTENTION: CONVERSION TO 115V IS NECESSARY (IF NEEDED)
This air handler is compatible with 115V power but it requires the conversion explained on page 40. Please follow these instructions carefully. If using 208/230V power, you can continue and disregard that section.
Connect the Signal Cable
The signal cable enables communication between the indoor and outdoor units. You must first choose the right cable size before preparing it for connection. Run a continuous length of cable and avoid splicing the cable.
Cable Sizing
Use the correct size cable depending on the communication type (see page 43) · Non-polar RS485 Communication (S1/S2): 16 AWG to 20 AWG wire can be used. On new
installations or if you experience communication interference, it is stronly recommended to use 16 AWG stranded, shelded wire for the best communication. · 24V Communication: 18 AWG/ 8 conductor thermostat wire · Power Cables: Determined by the minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) and maximum over current protection (MOCP) of system and the NEC and local codes in your area. Refer to the nameplate to choose the right cable, fuse, or switch.

STEP 1. PREPARE THE CABLE FOR CONNECTION.
· Using wire strippers, strip the insulating jacket from both ends of the signal cable to reveal about 5 in (12 cm) of the wire, then strip the insulation from the ends of the wires.

STEP 2. OPEN THE FRONT PANEL OF THE UNIT.
· Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the electric control box on your indoor unit.

STEP 3. CONNECT THE WIRES TO THE TERMINALS.

· Thread the power cable and the signal cable through the wire outlet. · Match the wire colors/labels with the labels on the terminal block. Firmly screw the wires of each
wire to its corresponding terminal. Refer to the Serial Number and Wiring Diagram located on the

cover of the electric control box.

OPTIONAL FUNCTION WIRING
Condensate Overflow Switch:
The unit will accommodate a remote condensate overflow switch. To enable, remove jumper J1, and connect the installer provided condensate overflow device to CN5 per below. When an overflow condition is present, the device should open the connection, signaling the unit to turn off the system.
Alarm Output:
An alarm output (CN33) can be utilized if actions are required when a fault is present. This is a passive outlet port, so you will need to input a voltage signal. The relay is normally-open for normal operation, and closed when a fault condition is active.

CN23 J7

Humidifier Control:
To connect a humidifier, utilize the passive signal "WORK" output (CN23) port as well as the G and C wires on the controller, and wire the humidistat and humidifier per above wiring diagram. When the fan is running, the CN23 relay will be closed, which will allow power to the humidifier when the humidistat is below humidity setpoint. If the thermostat or zone controller has an HUM interface, connect the humidifier directly to the HUM and C ports.
Dehumidification Control Wiring
Dehumidification control requires external Humidistat at DH and R. Set S4-2 as OFF. When the humidity rises and exceeds the set value of the Humidistat, the 24V signal of DH changes to 0V, the cooling system starts the dehumidification operation, and the air volume drops to 80% of the nominal cooling air volume.

54

DURASTAR.COM

UV LED Wiring
The WORK port is linked with the fan. When the fan is running, the relay is closed; if an active 24V signal is required, it can be directly connected to the G and C ports.

FINAL CHECKS
WARNING
Failure to perform the test run may result in unit damage, property damage, or personal injury.
BEFORE THE TEST RUN
A test run must be performed after the entire system has been completely installed. Confirm the following points before performing the test: · Indoor and outdoor units are properly installed. · Piping and wiring are properly connected. · No obstacles near the inlet and outlet of the unit that might cause poor performance or
product malfunction. · Drainage system is unimpeded and draining to a safe location. · Insulation of piping and duct is properly installed. · Grounding wires are properly connected. · Length of the piping and additional refrigerant capacity have been recorded. · Power voltage is the correct voltage for the air handler. · Electrical Safety Checks - Confirm that the unit's electrical system is connected and
operating correctly. · Gas Leak Check - Check all flare nut connections and confirm the system is not leaking. · Confirm that the low and high pressure valves are fully open. · Check grounding work by measuring the grounding resistance by visual detection and with a
multimeter. The grounding resistance must be less than 0.1 .
ELECTRICAL SAFETY CHECKS After installation, confirm that all electrical wiring is installed in accordance with local and national regulations, and according to this installation manual.
DURING TEST RUN Using your multimeter, verify the voltage of the main power entering the system. If the main power voltage is greater than ±10% of the name plate voltage, turn off the unit and immediately call a licensed electrician to find and resolve the cause.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes, and must be installed by a licensed electrician.
GAS LEAK CHECK There are two methods to check for gas leaks: 1. Soap and Water Method - Using a soft brush, apply a soapy water or liquid detergent to all
pipe connection points on the indoor and outdoor unit. The presence of bubbles indicates a leak. 2. Leak Detector Method - If using a leak detector, refer to the device's operation manual for proper usage instructions.

TEST RUN

TEST RUN INSTRUCTIONS You should perform the test run for at least 30 minutes. 1. Connect power to the unit. 2. Press the ON/OFF button on the remote controller or wired thermostat to turn the unit on. 3. Press the MODE button to scroll through the following functions, one at a time:
· COOL - Select lowest possible temperature. · HEAT - Select highest possible temperature. 4. Let each function run for 5 minutes and perform the following checks:

LIST OF CHECKS TO PERFORM

[ X ]

Unit is Properly Grounded

[ ]

All Electrical Terminals are Properly Covered

[ ]

Indoor and Outdoor Units are Solidly Installed

[ ]

All Pipe Connection Points Do Not Leak

[ ]

Water Drains Properly from Drain Hose without leaks

[ ]

All Piping is Properly Insulated

[ ]

Unit Performs COOL Function Properly

[ ]

Unit Performs HEAT Function Properly

[ ]

There is no abnormal noise or vibration

[ ]

Indoor Unit Responds to Remote Controller or Thermostat

[ ]

5. Double check all pipe connections. During operation, the pressure of the refrigerant system will increase. This may reveal leaks that were not present during the initial leak check. Take time during the test run to recheck all pipe connection points. Refer to Gas Leak Check section for instructions.
6. Ensure the condensate flows smoothly through the drain. It may take up to one (1) minute before the unit begins to drain, depending on the drainpipe. In new buildings, this should be performed before finishing the ceiling.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS If ANY of the following conditions occur, turn off your unit immediately! · The power cord is damaged or abnormally warm · You smell a burning odor · The unit emits loud or abnormal sounds · A power fuse blows or the circuit breaker frequently trips · Water or other objects fall into or out of the unit DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THESE YOURSELF! CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY!

COMMON ISSUES

The following problems are not malfunctions and in most situations do not require repairs.

ISSUE

POSSIBLE CAUSES

The unit changes from COOL/HEAT mode to FAN mode

The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the previously selected mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature fluctuates again.

The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being turned off.

Unit does not turn on when pressing ON/OFF button

Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre-heating/Defrost) indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit's anti-cold wind is activated in order to defrost the unit.

In Cooling-only Models: If the "Fan Only" indicator is lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit's anti-freeze protection is activated in order to defrost the unit.

Outdoor units emit white mist

When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to moisture generated during the defrosting process.

Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both indoor and outdoor units.

Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noises

Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped running, or is defrosting: This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.

Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and met-

al parts caused by temperature changes during operation can cause

squeaking noises.

58

DURASTAR.COM

R

ISSUE The outdoor unit makes noises
The unit emits a bad odor
The fan of the outdoor unit does not operate Operation is erratic, unpredictable, or unit is unresponsive

POSSIBLE CAUSES The unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during operations. The unit's filters have become dirty and should be cleaned. During heating the unit may emit a bad odor. This is a result of the electric heat module (AUX) heating up and burning off small particles of dust from the cooling season. This smell will lessen after a few uses and go away when the AUX heat is off. During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation. In rare cases, interference from radio waves and remote boosters may cause the unit to malfunction. In this case, try the following: · Disconnect the power, then reconnect. · Press ON/OFF button on remote control to restart operation.

NOTE
If problem persists, contact a local dealer or your nearest customer service center. Provide them with a detailed description of the unit malfunction as well as your model number.
