6.4 Installation for the first time

Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as below: Pressure in the system rises. Operating current rises. Cooling or heating efficiency drops. Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing. Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system. Therefore, the indoor units and the pipes between indoor and outdoor units must be leak tested and evacuated to remove gas and moisture from the system. Gas leak check (Soap water method): Apply soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connections or outdoor unit connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points of the piping. If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage. 1. Air purging with vacuum pump

In auto mode, the machine will choose cooling, heating or fan-only mode according to T (T =T1-Ts). T=T1-Ts T1 50 Running mode Cooling

-1<T1 T-1 Indoor fan will run at auto fan of the relevant mode. The louver operates same as in relevant mode.

Fan-only Heating

If the machine switches mode between heating and cooling, the compressor will keep stopping for 15 minutes and then choose mode according to T1-Ts. If the setting temperature is modified, the machine will choose running function again. 8.4.5 Drying mode 8.4.5.1 Indoor fan speed is fixed at breeze and cant be changed. The louver angle is the same as

in cooling mode. 8.4.5.2 Compressor running rules

8.4.5.3 Low indoor room temperature protection In drying mode, if room temperature is lower than 10, the compressor will stop and not resume until room temperature exceeds 12. 8.4.5.4 Evaporator anti-freezing protection, condenser high temperature protection and outdoor unit frequency limit are active and the same as that in cooling mode. 8.4.5.5 The outdoor fan operates the same as in cooling mode. 8.4.6 Forced operation function 8.4.6.1 Enter forced operation function: When the machine is off, pressing the touch button will carry the machine to forced auto mode. After this, pressing the button once again within 5 seconds, the machine will turn into forced cooling mode. In forced auto, forced cooling or any other operation mode, pressing touch button will turn off the 51

machine. 8.4.6.2 In forced operation mode, all general protections and remote control are available. 8.4.6.3 Operation rules: Forced cooling mode: The compressor runs at F2 frequency and indoor fan runs as breeze. After running for 30 minutes, the machine will turn to auto mode as 24 setting temperature. Forced auto mode: The action of forced auto mode is the same as normal auto mode with 24 setting temperature. 8.4.7 Timer function 8.4.7.1 Timing range is 24 hours. 8.4.7.2 Timer on. The machine will turn on automatically when reaching the setting time. 8.4.7.3 Timer off. The machine will turn off automatically when reaching the setting time. 8.4.7.4 Timer on/off. The machine will turn on automatically when reaching the setting on time, and then turn off automatically when reaching the setting off time. 8.4.7.5 Timer off/on. The machine will turn off automatically when reaching the setting off time, and then turn on automatically when reaching the setting on time. 8.4.7.6 The timer function will not change the AC current operation mode. Suppose AC is off now, it will not start up firstly after setting the timer off function. And when reaching the setting time, the timer LED will be off and the AC running mode has not been changed. 8.4.7.7 The setting time is relative time.

8.4.8 Sleep function mode 8.4.8.1 Operation time in sleep mode is 7 hours. After 7 hours the AC quits this mode and turns off. 8.4.8.2. Operation process in sleep mode is as follow: When cooling, the setting temperature rises 1 (be lower than 30) every one hour, 2 hours later the setting temperature stops rising and indoor fan is fixed as low speed. When heating, the setting temperature decreases 1 (be higher than 17) every one hour, 2 hours later the setting temperature stops rising and indoor fan is fixed as low speed. (Anti-cold wind function has the priority) 8.4.8.3 Timer setting is available 8.4.8.4 When user uses timer off function in sleep mode (or sleep function in timer off mode), if the 52

timing is less than 7 hours, sleep function will be cancelled when reaching the setting time. If the timing is more than 7 hours, the machine will not stop until reaches the setting time in sleep mode. 8.4.9 Auto-Restart function The indoor unit is equipped with auto-restart function, which is carried out through an auto-restart module. In case of a sudden power failure, the module memorizes the setting conditions before the power failure. The unit will resume the previous operation setting (not including swing function) automatically after 3 minutes when power returns. If the memorization condition is forced cooling mode, the unit will run in cooling mode for 30 minutes and turn to auto mode as 24 setting temp. If AC is off before power off and AC is required to start up now, the compressor will have 1 minute delay when power on. Other conditions, the compressor will have 3 minutes delay when restarts. 8.4.10 8 Heating(optional) In heating operation, the preset temperature of the air conditioner can be as lower as 8, which keeps the room temperature steady at 8 and prevents household things freezing when the house is unoccupied for a long time in severe cold weather.
