2 Important! Please Read Before Starting This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operating standards. As the installer or service person, it is an important part of your job to install or service the system so it operates safely and efficiently. For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must: Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning. Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown. Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes. Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices given in this manual. This symbol refers to a hazard or WARNING unsafe practice which can result in severe personal injury or death. This symbol refers to a hazard or CAUTION unsafe practice which can result in personal injury or product or property damage. If Necessary, Get Help These instructions are all you need for most installation sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or your certified dealer for additional instructions. In Case of Improper Installation The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation or maintenance service, including failure to follow the instructions in this document. Special Precautions WARNING When Wiring ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM. Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected and checked. Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death. Ground the unit following local electrical codes. Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard. When Transporting Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers. When Installing In a Ceiling or Wall Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the units weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support. In a Room Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent sweating that can cause dripping and water damage to walls and floors. In Moist or Uneven Locations Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration. In an Area with High Winds Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle. In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems) Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow. Provide snow vents. When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing Use the flare method for connecting tubing. Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leakfree connection. Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run. When Servicing Turn the power off at the main power box (mains) before opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wiring. Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts. Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced. Others CAUTION Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas. Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can produce dangerously toxic gas. i ii

19 7-1 Cool Mode Operation (RT - SPT) [ o c] over 3 min over 5 min COMP ON OFF OFAN ON OFF H over 30 sec IFAN M L RV ON OFF In Cool Mode, the operation of the Compressor (COMP), Outdoor Fan (OFAN) and Indoor Fan (IFAN) are determined by the difference between the Room Temperature (RT) and the Set Point Temperature (SPT) as in the graph above. Notes: 1. In this graph, the IFAN is operating in the Auto Fan Speed setting. If the user has selected the low, medium or high fan speed, the IFAN will run constantly at that speed only. 2. In addition to the value of (RT-SPT), the operations of the relays are also controlled by protection delays. For example, (a) the minimum On/Off time of the COMP is 5 min and 3 min respectively, and (b) the IFAN can change speed only after it has operated at the same speed for 30 sec. 16

20 7-2 Heat Mode Operation (RT - SPT) [ o c] COMP ON OFF H 30 sec IFAN M L OFF RV ON OFF Note 1 Note 2 The Heat Mode operation is similar to the Cool Mode operation. The COMP, OFAN and IFAN are mainly controlled by the value of (RT SPT). In the graph above, the IFAN is operating in Auto Fan speed mode. Therefore, the IFAN speed changes automatically according to the (RT - SPT). Note 1: The 30s IFAN operation is for purging the heat from the in-coil after COMP has stopped. Note 2: The IFAN will not be turned on until the in-coil temperature is high enough (as shown in the graph below) to prevent the unit from supplying cool air. IFAN Speed Any Low Stop ICT = Any = Low = In-coil Temperature Hi, Med or Low fan speed which is selected by the user. In Auto Fan Speed Mode, the fan speed is selected by the unit automatically instead. The indoor fan is forced to operate at low speed ICT [ o c] 17

21 7-3 Auto (Cool/Heat) Mode Operation (RT - SPT) [ o c] COMP & OFAN ON OFF ON RV OFF Auto Heat Mode Auto Cool Mode Auto Heat Mode In Auto Mode, the unit switches between the Auto Cooling Mode and Auto Heating Mode automatically to maintain the room temperature (RT) at the set point temperature (SPT). 18

22 7-4 Dry Mode Operation (RT - SPT) [ o c] Time [min] -2 DRY DRY-ON DRY-OFF IFAN COMP & OFAN LOW OFF ON OFF 5 minutes COMP ON time Max 15 minutes 3.5 min Max 15 minutes 6 min (Note 1) (Note 2) In Dry Mode, the unit operates in a mild cool mode to lower the humidity of the room. In order to maintain a high efficiency in the drying operation without over lowering the room temperature excessively, the Dry Mode is different from the Cool Mode in two ways. 1. The IFAN is forced to operate at low speed only. And, the IFAN is turned off with the COMP. 2. The unit operates in either the Dry-on state or the Dry-off state. If RT = SPT, the unit will operate in Dry-off state. The COMP is forced to operate for 6 min after it has stopped working for 15 min. If RT > SPT, the unit will operate in Dry-on state. The COMP is forced off for 3.5 min after it has been working for 15 min. Note 1: COMP is forced off in Dry-on state. Note 2: COMP is forced to operate in Dry-off state. 7-5 Fan Mode Operation In Fan Mode, the indoor fan is turned on to improve the air circulation in the room. COMP and OFAN remain OFF all the time. Note: If the user has selected the Auto Fan Speed setting, the IFAN speed would be selected by the unit automatically according to the difference between RT and SPT, as in Cool Mode. 19

23 7-6 Protection Operations in Cool and Dry Modes 1. Indoor Coil Defrost Protection The in-coil defrost protection can prevent the ice formation at the in-coil when the ambient temperature is low. ICT [ o c] t1 t2 t3 OFAN ON OFF COMP ON OFF IFAN ON OFF t1 = 5 min minimum for each COMP starting t2 = OFAN cycling (alternate between ON and OFF every 30 sec) for 20 min maximum t3 = COMP and OFAN stop for 10 min minimum 20 17

24 2. Outdoor Coil High Pressure Protection The out-coil high pressure protection prevent the build up of high pressure at the out-coil during cooling operation. OCT [ o c] COMP ANY OFF COMP is forced OFF OFAN ANY ON OFAN follow operation of COMP OFAN is forced ON (Note 1) IFAN ANY L IFAN is forced LOW OPER LED ON BLINK Note 1: In some applications, the outdoor fan and the compressor are controlled together by the COMP relay output from the controller. In this case, it will take more time for the out-coil to cool down during the high pressure protection, because the outdoor fan will be turned off with the compressor instead of working as in the graph above. 21

25 7-7 Protection Operations in Heat Mode Outdoor Coil Deice Protection The deice process is controlled by an Ice Detection Algorithm (IDA). The IDA is an unique control algorithm incorporated to maintain optimal utilization of the heat pump capacity, especially in below-zero outdoor temperature condition. The out-coil deicing will be activated not only by static temperature detection as normally done, but also while ice forming is detected on the out-coil. COMP to ON DI = 40 (or 10) DT = 5 1 Activate DDt setting Routine Start counting TLD DTF = 0 No OCT < DOC? No TLD > DI & OCT < DST (during last 3 minutes) Yes DDT and DTF information from Deicing Dynamic Threshold setting routine DTF=1 & OCT < DDT No (during last 3 minutes) & ICT < 40 deg Yes Yes Deicer activation (see Notes) Deicer activation (see Notes) LDT > DT + TimeD No LDT < DT-TimeD or LDT < DTmin No Yes Yes DI = TLD - DIT DI = TLD + DIT DI = TLD No DI < DImin Yes DI = DImin No DI > DImax Yes DI = DImax DT = LDT 1 22

In Dynamic Temp Detection, the ice formation will be detected by (i) Compare the OCT with a Deicing Dynamic Temperature Threshold, and (ii) Detect the drop in ICT which accompany the ice formation. 2. The Static Temp Detection will be done by comparing the OCT with a Deicing Static Temperature Threshold. The Deicing Data Record is used to determine the time delay between two deicing cycles. In general, the time delay will be increased if the last deicing cycle can be completed quickly. 23
