The Refrigerant
To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the system. The used refrigerant is the fluoride R32, which is specially cleaned. The refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. Furthermore, it can lead to explosion under certain conditions. But the flammability of the refrigerant is very low. It can be ignited only by fire.
Compared to common refrigerants, R32 is a nonpolluting refrigerant with no harm to the ozonosphere. The influence upon the greenhouse effect is also lower. R32 has got very good thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy efficiency. The units therefore need a less filling.

- Place the transition duct to the air outlet of the unit and fix it with rivet.
- Connect the outlet to the duct and then tighten them with tape. Other installation details are not covered herein.
CAUTION！
- The maximum length of the duct means the maximum length of the air supply duct plus the maximum length of the return air duct.
- For the unit with the auxiliary electric heating function, if the round duct is to be adopted, then the straight length of the transition duct can not be less than 200mm.
- The duct is either rectangular or round and connected with the air inlet/outlet of the indoor unit. Among all air supply outlets, at least one should be kept open. As for the round duct, it needs a transition duct of which the size should match with the air supply outlet of the unit. After the fitting of the transition duct, it is the turn of the round duct, which is better to be kept 10 meters far away from the corresponding diffuser.

Installation of the Condensate Pipe
- The condensate pipe should keep a inclination angle of5～10°, which can facilitate the drainage of the condensate water. And the joints of the condensate pipe should be insulated by the insulation material to prevent condensing(see Fig.13).
- There is a condensate outlet on both left and right sides of the unit. Once one is confirmed to be used, the other should be clogged by a rubber plug, bundled by the binding wire and insulated by the insulation material to avoid water leakage.
- The right outlet is defaulted to be clogged with a plug.
CAUTION！
No water leakage is allowed on the joint of the condensate pipe.
Design of the Drain Pipe
- The drain pipe should always keep an inclination angle(1/50～1/100) to avoid the water gathering in some certain place.
- During the connection of the drain pipe and device, do not impose too much force on the pipe on one side of the device and the pipe should be fixed as close as to the device.
- The drain pipe can be the ordinary hard PVC pipe which can be purchased locally. During the connection, inset the end of the PVC pipe to the drain outlet, then tighten it with the drain hose and binding wire but never connect the drain outlet and the drain hose by adhesive.
- When the drain pipe is used for multiple devices, the public section of the pipe should be 100mm lower than the drain hole of each device and it is better to use the much thicker pipe for such a purpose.
Installation of the Drain Pipe
- The diameter of the drain pipe should be larger or equal to that of the refrigerant pipe (PVC pipe, outer dimater:25mm, wall thickness≥1.5mm.
- The drain pipe should be as short as possible and with at least a 1/100 degree of slope to avoid forming air pockets.
- If the proper degree of slope of the drain pipe is not allowed, a lift pipe should be installed.
- A distance 1-1.5m should be kept between the hangers to avoid the drain hose making a turn.
Insert the drain hose into the drain hole and tighten it with clamps.- Wrap the clamps with large amount of sponge for thermal insulation.
- The drain hose inside the room also should be insulated.
Precautions for the Lift Pipe
The installation height of the lift pipe should be less than 850mm. It is recommended to set an inclination angle 1°～2° for the lift pipe toward the drainage direction. If the lift pipe and the unit form a right angle, the height of the lift pipe must be less than 800mm.
Notes:
- The inclination height of the drain hose should be within 75mm so that the outlet of the drain hose does not suffer the external force.
- If multiple drain pipes converge, please follow the installation steps below.
Test for the Drainage System
- After the electric installation, please take a test for the drainage system.
- During the test, check if the water flow goes through the pipe correctly and observe carefully the joint to see if it leaks or not. If this unit is installed in the newly built house, it is suggested to take this test prior to the ceiling decoration.
Piping
- Let the flare end of the copper pipe point at the screw and then tighten the screw by hand.
- After that, tighten the screw by the torque wrench unit it clat-ters (as shown in Fig.18).
- The bending degree of the pipe can not be too small; otherwise it will crack. And please use a pipe bender to bend the pipe.
- Installation of Ordinary Nut and Tamperproof box
- Unfold the connecting pipe and bend the connecting pipe according to the required length. Open the nut cover on the indoor unit’ s pipe and align the conical mouth of the con-necting pipe with the center of the indoor unit’ s pipe. Tighten the nut by hand and then tight-en it with a torque wrench. The connecting pipe of indoor unit must be installed with the tam-perproof box that is included in delivery. Once installed, the tamperproof box cannot be removed. If you need to break the connection between indoor and outdoor units, cut the con-nector. Replace with a new one and weld again.
Notes:- The removal-proof nut and tamperproof box should be installed at the connection end of the indoor unit and be connected to the indoor unit.
- The tamperproof box should not be overlapped during installation and must be completely covered with the accompanied insulated pipe before wrapping.
- Wrap the exposed refrigerant pipe and the joints by sponge and then tighten them with the plastic tape.

Insulation for the refrigerant pipe
- The refrigerant pipe should be insulated by the insulating material and plastic tape in order to prevent condensing and leaking.
- The joints of the indoor unit should be wrapped with the insulating material and no gas is allowed on the joint of the indoor unit, as shown in Fig.19.
CAUTION！
After the pipe is protected well enough, never bend it to form a small angle; otherwise it would crack or break. - Wrapping the pipe with tape.
- Bundle the refrigerant pipe and electric wire together with tape, and separate them from the drain pipe to prevent the condensate water overflowing.
- Wrap the pipe from the bottom of the outdoor unit to the top of the pipe where it enters the wall. During the wrapping, the later circle should cover half of the former one.
- Fix the wrapped pipe on the wall with clamps.
CAUTION！
- Do not wrap the pipe too tightly; otherwise the insulation effect would be weakened. Additionally, make sure the drain hose is separated from the pipe
- After that, fill the hole on the wall with sealing material to prevent wind and rain coming into the room.

- After filling is finished, please do the leakage detection before test running; another time of leak detection should be done when it’s removed.
Safety instructions for transportation and storage
- Please use the flammable gas detector to check before unload and open the container. No fire source and smoking.
- According to the local rules and laws.
Specialist’s Manual
The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
- the charge size 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 circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
- marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings 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.
- 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, an 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 no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recover-ing or purging the system;
- that there is continuity of earth bonding.
- 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 toxic or flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with all applicable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
- 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 powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area. - Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere. - Leak detection methods
Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrig-erant and corrode the copper pipe-work. - 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. - Checks to electrical devices
- that capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking;
- that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system.
- Repairs to sealed components
During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.- Ensure that the apparatus is mounted securely.
- Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded to the point that they no longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
NOTE:The use of silicon sealant can inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
- Repair to intrinsically safe components
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 equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating.
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak. - Cabling
Check that cabling 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. - 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. - 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 reclaimed 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:
- mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders;
- all personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly;
- the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person;
- 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 manufacturer’s 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.
- Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned 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. - 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 are available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off 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 all appropriate refrigerants including, when applicable, flammable refrigerants. 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. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
- The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix refrig-erants 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 evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
