 2 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
ENGLISH

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air
conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions
below:

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more
electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air condi-
tioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

• For electrical work, contact the dealer, seller, a qualified electrician, or an Authorized Service Center.
- Do not disassemble or repair the product. There is risk of fire or electric shock.
• Always ground the product.
- There is risk of fire or electric shock.
• Install the panel and the cover of control box securely.
- There is risk of fire or electric shock.
• Always install a dedicated circuit and breaker.
- Improper wiring or installation may cause fire or electric shock.
• Use the correctly rated breaker or fuse.
- There is risk of fire or electric shock.
• Do not modify or extend the power cable.
- There is risk of fire or electric shock.
• Do not let the air conditioner run for a long time when the humidity is very high and a door or a win-
dow is left open.
- Moisture may condense and wet or damage furniture.
• Be cautious when unpacking and installing the product.
- Sharp edges could cause injury. Be especially careful of the case edges and the fins on the con-
denser and evaporator.

 4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ENGLISH

• Do not install the product on a defective installation stand.

- It may cause injury, accident, or damage to the product.
• Be sure the installation area does not deteriorate with age.
- If the base collapses, the air conditioner could fall with it, causing property damage, product failure,
and personal injury.
• There is a risk of fire and explosion.
- Inert gas (nitrogen) should be used when you check plumbing leaks, cleaning or repairs of pipes
etc.
If you are using combustible gases including oxygen, product may have the risk of fires and explo-
sions.

Operation
• Do not store or use flammable gas or combustibles near the product.
- There is risk of fire or failure of product.

! CAUTION
Installation
• Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installation or repair of product.
- Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of product.
• Install the drain hose to ensure that water is drained away properly.
- A bad connection may cause water leakage.
• Keep level even when installing the product.
- To avoid vibration or water leakage.
• Do not install the product where the noise or hot air from the outdoor unit could damage the neigh-
borhoods.
- It may cause a problem for your neighbors.
• Do not install the product where it will be exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly.
- It may cause corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator
fins, could cause product malfunction or inefficient operation.
• Thickness of copper pipes used are as shown “Flaring work” Table.
- Never use copper pipes thinner than that in the table even when it is available on the market
• Do not use copper pipes having a collapsed.
- Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may become blocked with contaminants.
• For R410A model, use piping, flare nut and tools which is specified for R410A refrigerant.
- Using of (R22) piping, flare nut and tools may cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigerant
cycle (piping), and possibly result in explosion and injury.
• It is desirable that the amount of residual oil less than 40 mg/10m.

! CAUTION
• Make sure to cool the filters and EEV body with a wet cloth and make sure the body tem-
perature does not exceed 120°C during brazing.
• Make sure that the other parts such as electrical box, tie wraps and wires protected from
direct brazing flames during brazing.

ENGLISH
Brazing Work

! CAUTION
• Be sure to carry out a nitrogen blow when brazing.
Brazing without carrying out nitrogen replacement or releasing nitrogen into the piping will
create large quantities of oxidized film on the inside of the pipes, adversely affecting valves
and compressors in the refrigerating system and preventing normal operation.
• When brazing while inserting nitrogen into the piping, nitrogen must be set to 0.02 MPa
with a pressure-reducing valve(just enough so that it can be felt on the skin).

• The leakage test is executed by pressurizing nitrogen gas up to 3.8MPa(38.7kgf/cm2) (The

test must be done with the service valve of the outdoor unit closed and the gas must be
pressurized at the liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe of the outdoor
unit), and the pressure of the nitrogen gas must not drop for 24 hours.
• Make sure that field pipes are fully insulated. Field pipe insulation must reach up to the
pipe insulation(D). Make sure that there is no gap between both ends in order to avoid
condensation dripping(Finish the connection with tape eventually)
• Make sure to cool the filters and EEV body with a wet cloth and make sure the body tem-
perature does not exceed 120°C during brazing.
• For more details, refer to the manual of the outdoor unit.

ENGLISH
THERMISTORS INSTALLATION
Pipe thermistors Installation
Location of the pipe thermistors
A correct installation of the thermistors is required to ensure a good operation :
1 Pipe_In (EBG61287703)
: Install the thermistor behind the distributor on the coldest pass the heat exchanger
(contact your heat exchanger dealer).
2 Pipe_Out (EBG61287704)
: Install the thermistor at the outlet of the heat exchanger as close as possible to the heat ex-
changer.

Evaluation must be done to check if the evaporator is protected against freeze-up.

Execute test operation and check for freeze-up.

Pipe Thermistors Installation

Installation of the pipe thermistor cable
1 Put the thermistor cable in a separate protective tube.
2 Always add a pull-relief to the thermistor cable to avoid strain on the thermistor cable and
loosening of the thermistor. Strain on the thermistor cable or loosening of the thermistor may
result in bad contact and incorrect temperature measurement.

Fixation of the pipe thermistors (Field work)

1 Fix the thermistor with insulating aluminum tape (Field supply) in order to ensure a good heat
transference.
2 Put the supplied piece of rubber around the thermistor (EBG61287703/04) in order to avoid
loosening of the thermistor after some years.
3 Fasten the thermistor with 2 tie wraps(Field Supply)
4 Insulate the thermistor with insulation sheet(Over 5t, Field Supply)
