Evacuation
• Connect the charge hose end described in the preceding
steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and
indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve is open. Then,
run the vacuum pump.
The operation time for evacuation varies with tubing length
and capacity of the pump. The following table shows the
time required for evacuation.

• When the desired vacuum is reached, close the "Lo" knob
of the manifold valve and stop the vacuum pump.
Finishing the job
• With a service valve wrench, turn the valve stem of liquid
side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
• Turn the valve stem of gas side valve counter-clockwise to
fully open the valve.
• Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas side service
port slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.
• Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas side service
port and fasten the flare nut securely with an adjustable
wrench. This process is very important to prevent leakage
from the system.

from the system.
• Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid side service
valves and fasten them tight.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump.

(3) To open the 2-way valve turn the valve stem counter-
clockwise approximately 90°, wait for about 2~3 sec, and

TEST RUNNING
1. Check that all tubing and wiring have been properly con-
nected.
2. Check that the gas and liquid side service valves are fully
open.
Settlement of outdoor unit
• Anchor the outdoor unit with a bolt and nut(ø10mm) tightly
and horizontally on a concrete or rigid mount.
• When installing on the wall, roof or rooftop, anchor the
mounting base securely with a nail or wire assuming the
influence of wind and earthquake.

• In the case when the vibration of the unit is conveyed to the
hose, secure the unit with an anti-vibration bushing.
NOTE: If the actual pressure is higher than shown, the system is
most likely over-charged, and charge should be removed.
If the actual pressure are lower than shown, the system is
most likely undercharged, and charge should be added.
If the actual pressure are lower than shown, the system is
most likely undercharged, and charge should be added.

Pump Down Procedure
1. Connect a low-pressure gauge manifold hose to the
charge port on the gas side service valve.
2. Open the gas side service valve halfway and purge the air
from the manifold hose using the refrigerant gas.
3. Close the liquid side service valve(all the way in).
4. Turn on the unit's operating switch and start the cooling
operation.
5. When the low-pressure gauge reading becomes 1 to

• While in compressor off, the indoor fan is off when the indoor pipe temp is below 33°C, when above 35°C , it
operates with the low airflow speed.
• If overloaded while in heating mode operation, in order to prevent the compressor from OLP operation, the
outdoor fan is turned on/off according to the indoor pipe temp.
• While in defrost control, both of the indoor and outdoor fans are turned off.
■ Defrost Control

reversed to cooling cycle to defrost the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit.
• After 40 min heating mode operation, at 4 min interval, whether to carry out defrost control or not and the time
of defrost control are determined according to the following conditions.
1) While in heating mode operation, the maximum of the indoor pipe temperature is measured and it is com-
pared with the present indoor pipe temperature to get the difference of the indoor pipe temperatures (=the
maximum temperature of indoor pipe ? the present temperature of indoor pipe), according to which, whether
to carry out defrost control or not is determined.

to carry out defrost control or not is determined.
2) According to the need of defrost control shown above and the elapsed time of heating mode operation at that
moment, the defrost control time is determined.
3) When the determined time of defrost control is below 7 min, heating mode operation continues without carry-
ing out defrost control. According to the procedure stated above, the determination is made again. When the
defrost control time is 7 min or longer, defrost control is then carried out.

indoor pipe ? the minimum temperature of the indoor pipe). When the difference is 5°C or higher, defrost con-
trol is completed and heating mode operation is carried out.

trol is completed and heating mode operation is carried out.
• While in defrost control, if the defrost time determined before the start of defrost control is completed, defrost
control stops and heating mode operation is carried out regardless of the above condition.
• When the indoor pipe temp is 42°C or above, defrost control is not carried out even if the condition is one of
the defrost conditions above.
• While in defrost control, the compressor is on and the indoor fan, the outdoor fan, and the 4 way valve are off.
