flammable refrigerants, i.e. no sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
background
09
6. No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM which
involves exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner
that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including
cigarette smoking, should be kept suciently far away from the site of installation,
repairing, removing and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released
to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment
is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks.
“No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.
7. Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it it adequately ventilated before breaking
into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue
during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse
any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
8. Checks to the refrigeration equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose
and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and
service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical
department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations
using FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS:
the actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which
the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
the ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not
obstructed;
if an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuits shall be
checked for the presence of refrigerant;
marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible, marking and signs
that are illegible shall be corrected;
9. Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks
and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise
safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is
satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is
necessary to continue operation, and adequate temporary solution shall be used.
This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include:
that capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking
that there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering or purging the system;
that there is continuity of earth bonding.
10. Sealed electrical components shall be replaced.
11. Intrinsically safe components must be replaced.
refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are
unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant
containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials
which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against
being so corroded.
background
10
12. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental eects. The check shall
also take into account the eects of aging or continual vibration from sources such
as compressors or fans.
13. Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching
for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch(or any other detector using a
naked flame) shall not be used.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for refrigerant
systems. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the
case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may
need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free
area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for
the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the
LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the
appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed.
Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of
detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the
refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are
- bubble method,
- fluorescent method agents.
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall
be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut o valves) in a part of
the system remote from the leak. See the following instructions of removal of
refrigerant.
14. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs - or for any other purpose
conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is
important that best practice be followed, since flammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;
evacuate;
purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L);
evacuate (optional for A2L);
continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using flame to open circuit; and
open the circuit
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if
venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing
flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to
render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to be
repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging
refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be
achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and
continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere,
and finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be
repeated until no refrigerant is within thesystem (optional for A2L). When the final
oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to
atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place.
The outlet for the vacuum pump shall not be close to any potential ignition sources,
and ventilation shall be available.
background
11
15. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall
be followed:
Works shall be undertaken with appropriate tools only (In case of uncertainty,
please consult the manufacturer of the tools for use with flammable refrigerants)
Ensure that contamination of dierent refrigerants does not occur when using
charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the
amount of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept upright.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with
refrigerant.
Label the system when charging is complete(if not already).
Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with oxygen free
nitrogen(OFN). The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but
prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving
the site.
16. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely
familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that
all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and
refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of
recovered refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task
is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate system electrically
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant
cylinders;
all personal protetive equipment is available and being used correctly;
the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person;
recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed
from various parts of the system.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g)Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with instructions.
h)Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80% volume liquid charge)
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make
sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all
isolation valves on the equipment are closed o.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system
unless it has been cleaned and checked.
17. Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied
of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. For appliances containing
FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, ensure that there are labels on the equipment
stating the equipment contains FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT.
18. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning,
it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant
recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for
holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated
background
12
for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i. e. special cylinders
for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief
valve and associated shut-o valves in good working order. Empty recovery
cylinders are evacuated and, if possible,cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions
concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of
the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. In
addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working
order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good
condition.
The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation in the
correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not
mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does
not remain within the lubricant. The compressor body shall not be heated by an
open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this process. When oil is drained
from a system, it shall be carried out safely.

This feature avoids direct air flow blowing on
the body and make you feel indulging in
silky coolness.
Active Clean function
-- The Active Clean Technology washes away
dust when it adheres to the heat exchanger by
automatically freezing and then rapidly thawing
the frost. A “pi-pi” sound will be heard.
The Active clean operation is used to produce
more condensed water to improve the cleaning
eect, and the cold air will blow out. After
cleaning, the internal wind wheel then keeps
operating with hot air to blow-dry the
evaporator, thus keeping the inside clean.
-- When this function is turned on, the indoor
unit display window appears “CL ” , after 20
to 45 minutes, the unit will turn o
automatically and cancel Active Clean function.
This feature helps keep the outdoor coil cleaner
and may extend the duration between regular
maintenance intervals depending on local
conditions. When the unit is turned o, a 10
second delay occours then the outdoor fan runs
in reverse rotation for 70 seconds to blow o
loose accumulated dust and debris.
Every time the air conditioner is powered on, a buzzing sound will be heard to indicate that the
product has been powered on normally. If there is no sound, it is possible that the unit is abnormal.
Please power on again or check the circuit.
The actual functions are subject to the product you purchased, please check the indoor display and
remote control of your AC. See the <Remote Controller Manual> for more features.

standards, which may vary between residential, commercial,and industrial
buildings.
- field-made refrigerant joints indoors shall be tightness tested according to the
following requirements: The test method shall have a sensitivity of 5 grams per
year of refrigerant or better under a pressure of at least 0,25 times the
maximum allowable pressure. No leak shall be detected.
3 . Qualification of workers
Any maintenance, service and repair operations must be required qualification
of the working personnel. Every working procedure that aects safety means
shall only be carried out by competent persons that joined the training and
achieved competence should be documented by a certificate. The training of
these procedures is carried out by national training organizations or
manufacturers that are accredited to teach the relevant national competency
standards that may be set in legislation. All training shall follow the ANNEX HH
requirements of UL 60335-2-40 4th Edition.
Examples for such working procedures are:
• breaking into the refrigerating circuit;
• opening of sealed components;
• opening of ventilated enclosures.
4. Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it it adequately ventilated before breaking
into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue
during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse
any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
5. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental eects. The check shall
also take into account the eects of aging or continual vibration from sources such
as compressors or fans.
6. Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching
for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch(or any other detector using a
naked flame) shall not be used.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for refrigerant
systems. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in
the case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or
may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-
free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is
suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a
percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant
employed, and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed.
Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of
detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the
refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
background

7. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs - or for any other purpose
conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is
important that best practice be followed, since flammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;
evacuate;
purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L);
evacuate (optional for A2L);
continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using flame to open circuit; and
open the circuit
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if
venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing
flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to
render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to
be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging
refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be
achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and
continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere,
and finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be
repeated until no refrigerant is within thesystem (optional for A2L). When the final
oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to
atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place.
The outlet for the vacuum pump shall not be close to any potential ignition sources,
and ventilation shall be available.
8. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall
be followed:
Works shall be undertaken with appropriate tools only (In case of uncertainty,
please consult the manufacturer of the tools for use with flammable refrigerants)
Ensure that contamination of dierent refrigerants does not occur when using
charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the
amount of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept upright.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with
refrigerant.
Label the system when charging is complete(if not already).
Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with oxygen free nitrogen
(OFN). The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to
commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
9. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning,
it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant
recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for
holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated.
NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are
- bubble method,
- fluorescent method agents.
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall
be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut o valves) in a part of
the system remote from the leak. See the following instructions of removal of
refrigerant.

Note on Pipe Length
Connection Instructions – Refrigerant Piping
Step 1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra
care to cut and flare them properly. This will
ensure efficient operation and minimize the
need for future maintenance.
Measure the distance between the indoor
and outdoor units.
Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little
longer than the measured distance.
Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect
90° angle.
Oblique Rough Warped
90°
The length of refrigerant piping will aect the performance and energy eciency of the unit. Nominal
eciency is tested on units with a pipe length of 25ft(7.5m). A minimum pipe run of 9.84ft(3m) is
required to minimise vibration & excessive noise. Connection Instructions – Refrigerant Piping.
WARNING
WHEN CONNECTING REFRIGERANT PIPING, DO NOT LET SUBSTANCES OR
GASES OTHER THAN THE SPECIFIED REFRIGERANT ENTER THE UNIT. THE
PRESENCE OF OTHER GASES OR SUBSTANCES WILL LOWER THE UNIT’S
CAPACITY, AND CAN CAUSE ABNORMALLY HIGH PRESSURE IN THE
REFRIGERATION CYCLE. THIS CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION AND INJURY.

Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent
burrs from falling into the pipe.
Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all
burrs from the cut section of the pipe.
After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal
the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign
materials from entering the pipe.
Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
Place flare nuts on both ends of pipe. Make
sure they are facing in the right direction,
because you can’t put them on or change
their direction after flaring.
Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe when
ready to perform flaring work.
Clamp flare form on the end of the pipe.
The end of the pipe must extend beyond the
edge of the flare form in accordance with the
dimensions shown in the table below.
Place flaring tool onto the form.
Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise
until the pipe is fully flared.
Remove the flaring tool and flare form, then
inspect the end of the pipe for cracks and
even flaring.
MUST BE CHECK OVER THE END OF THE PIPE FOR CRACKS AND EVEN
FLARING. ENSURE THE PIPE IS SEALED.

Evacuation Instructions
Air Evacuation
53
NOTE
:
PREPARATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Air and foreign matter in the refrigerant circuit can cause abnormal rises in pressure, which can damage
the air conditioner, reduce its eciency, and cause injury. Ensure to evacuate the air inside the indoor
unit and pipes with vacuum pump. Use a vacuum pump and manifold gauge to evacuate the
refrigerant circuit, removing any non-condensable gas and moisture from the system. Evacuation
should be performed upon initial installation and when unit is relocated. Incorrect installation due to
ignoring of the Instruction will cause serious problem to the machine.
BEFORE PERFORMING EVACUATION
Make sure the connective pipes between the indoor and outdoor units are connected properly.
Check to make sure all wiring is connected properly.

If there is a change in system pressure, refer to Gas Leak
Check section for information on how to check for leaks.
If there is no change in system pressure, unscrew the cap
from the packed valve (high pressure valve).
Insert hexagonal wrench into the packed valve(high
pressure valve) and open the valve by turning the wrench
in a 1/4 counterclockwise turn. Listen for gas to exit the
system, then close the valve after 5 seconds.
Watch the Pressure Gauge for one minute to make sure
that there is no change in pressure. The Pressure Gauge
should read slightly higher than atmospheric pressure.
Remove the charge hose from the service port.
Using hexagonal wrench, fully open both the high
pressure and low pressure valves.
Tighten valve caps on all three valves (service port, high
pressure, low pressure) by hand. You may tighten it
further using a torque wrench if needed.
NOTE
Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The standard pipe length is
25ft(7.5m). The refrigerant should be charged from the service port on the outdoor unit’s low pressure
valve. The additional refrigerant to be charged can be calculated using the following formula:
