Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to downward
direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid to
let burrs drop in the tubing.

1) PRECAUTIONS IN TEST RUN
• The initial power supply must provide at least 90% of the rated voltage.
Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated.
¤
For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heating season. If heating operation
is carried out firstly, it leads to the trouble of compressor. Then attention must be paid.

¤Ł
Carry out the test run more than 5 minutes without fail.
(Test run will be cancelled 18 minutes later automatically)
(Test run will be cancelled 18 minutes later automatically)
• The test run is started by pressing the room temperature checking button and down timer button for 3 sec-
onds at the same time.
• To cancel the test run, press any button.
• After completing work, be sure to measure and record trial run properties, and store measured data, etc.
• Measuring items are room temperature, outside temperature, suction temperature, blow out temperature,

• As to the structure and appearance, check following items.
CHECK THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WHEN INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE
Caution
¡
Is the circulation of air adequate?
¡
Is the draining smooth?
¡
Is the heat insulation complete
(refrigerant and drain piping)?
¡
Is there any leakage of refrigerant?

CAUTION
After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring,
be guided by the circuit diagram pasted on the inside of control box cover.
2) Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.
3) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from
vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them and
make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could give rise to burn-out of the
wires.)
make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could give rise to burn-out of the
wires.)
4) Specification of power source
5) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
6) Be sure that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage marked
on the name plate.
7) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)
8) Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.
9) The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.
• Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of, fuse breaking, disturbance to the
normal function of a overload protection device.
• Proper starting power is not given to the compressor.
Teach the customer the operation and maintenance procedures, using the operation manual (air filter cleaning,
temperature control, etc.).
temperature control, etc.).
HAND OVER
2) Connection of power supply
1. Connect the power supply cord to the independent power supply.
• Circuit breaker is required.
2. Operate the unit for fifteen minutes or more.
3) Evaluation of the performance
1. Measure the temperature of the intake and discharge air.
2. Ensure the difference between the intake temperature and the discharge one is more than 8°C (Cooling) or
reversely (Heating).
