coating.
- Take precautions to avoid excessive vibration or pulsation.
- The minimum floor area of the room is mentioned in the form of a table or single figure without reference to a
formula.
- After completing the field piping for split systems, pressure test the field pipework with an inert gas. Then,
vacuum test the pipework before refrigerant charging. Ensure that the testing is completed according to the
following requirements:
a. The minimum test pressure for the low side of the system must be the low side design pressure and the
minimum test pressure for the high side of the system must be the high side design pressure, unless the high
side of the system cannot be isolated from the low side of the system. If the high side cannot be isolated from the
low side of the system, the entire system must be pressure tested to the low side design pressure.
b. After removing the pressure source, maintain the test pressure for at least 1 hour, ensuring that there is no
decrease of pressure, which is indicated by the test gauge. Ensure that the test gauge resolution does not
exceed 5% of the test pressure.
c. During the evacuation test, after achieving a vacuum level specified in the manual, isolate the refrigeration
system from the vacuum pump and ensure that the pressure does not rise above 1,500 microns within 10
minutes. The appropriate vacuum pressure level is specified in the manual, and must not be less than 500
microns or the value required for compliance with national and local codes and standards. The codes and
standards may vary between residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
- Field-made refrigerant indoor joints must be tightness tested according to the following requirements: The test
method must 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 should be detected.
3. Qualification of Workers
The working personnel must be qualified to perform any maintenance, service, and repair operations. Competent
individuals must carry out working procedures that affect safety means. The competent individual must complete
the training by national training organizations or manufacturers that are accredited to teach the relevant national
competency standards set in legislation. The individual's competence must be documented by a certificate. All
training must 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. Well-Ventilated Area
Before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work, ensure that the area is in the open or is adequately
ventilated. Maintain a degree of ventilation while the work is being carried out. Ensure that the ventilation safely
disperses any released refrigerant and preferably expels it externally into the atmosphere.
5. Cabling

6. Detection of Flammable Refrigerants
Do not use potential sources of ignition for searching or detecting refrigerant leaks. Do not use a halide torch or
detector using a naked flame. Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the
refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment must be set at a percentage of the refrigerant LFL, and calibrated to
the refrigerant employed. Confirm the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for refrigerant systems:
Electronic leak detectors: This type of detector can detect refrigerant leaks. However, in the case of flammable
refrigerants, the sensitivity may not be adequate and need recalibration. Calibrate the detection equipment in a
refrigerant-free area.
Leak detection fluids: The bubble method and fluorescent method agents are examples of leak detection fluids.
These are suitable to use with most refrigerants. Avoid using detergents containing chlorine as the chlorine
may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
If a leak is suspected, remove or extinguish all naked flames.
If a refrigerant leak is found and requires brazing, recover all the refrigerant from the system or use the shut off
valves to isolate the refrigerant in a part of the system remote from the leak. See the following instructions for
removing refrigerant.
7. Removal and Evacuation
Use conventional procedures when breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose.
However, for flammable refrigerants, it is important to follow this best practice since flammability is a
consideration.
Follow this procedure:
- 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 a flame to open the circuit.
- Open the circuit.
Recover the refrigerant charge into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national
codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, purge the system with oxygen-free nitrogen to render
the appliance safe from flammable refrigerants. If needed, repeat this process several times. Do not use
compressed air or oxygen to purge refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, purge the refrigerant by breaking the vacuum in the system
with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved. Then, vent to atmosphere
and finally pull down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). Repeat this process until no refrigerant is present within
the system (optional for A2L). When using oxygen-free nitrogen, vent the system down to atmospheric pressure
to enable work to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition
sources and ventilation is available.

Note
Features
Each 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 operating abnormally. Power
on the unit again or check the circuit.
The actual functions are subject to the product that was purchased. Check the indoor display and remote
control of the air conditioner. See the Remote Controller manual for information on more features.
• Default Setting
When the air conditioner restarts after a power
failure, it will default to the factory settings
(Auto mode, Auto fan, 76°F (24°C). A power failure
may cause inconsistencies on the remote control and
panel. Use the remote control to update the status.
• Auto-Restart
If a power failure occurs, the system will immediately
stop. When power returns, the operation light on the
indoor unit will flash. Press the On/Off button on the

louver must not be set too small, as condensation
may form and drip into the machine. To reset the
louver, press the manual button, which will reset the
horizontal louver settings.
• Heat Exchanger Dust Removal
Function
This feature helps keep the outdoor coil cleaner
and may extend the duration between regular
maintenance intervals depending on the local
conditions. When the unit is turned off, a 10-
second delay occurs when the outdoor fan runs
in reverse rotation for 70 seconds to blow off
loose accumulated dust and debris.
• Refrigerant Leakage Detection
When
the system detects a refrigerant
malfunction,
the
indoor unit will automatically
display the
following error codes:
o EL0C - System lacks refrigerant.
o EHC1 - Refrigerant sensor detects
leakage.
o
o
EHC2 - Working condition of the
refrigerant sensor is out of range and
leakage is detected.
EHC3 - Working condition of the
refrigerant sensor is out of range.
o ECC1 - Other indoor unit refrigerant
sensor detects leakage (multi-zone
systems).
When "EHC1"
or "EHC2" errors occur, the
buzzer will continue to beep for 5-6 minutes
before stopping. Pressing any button on the
remote control will also stop the buzzer.
Note: "EHC1", "EHC2", "EHC3", and
"ECC1" error codes are only applicable for

The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The
unit cannot be restarted within 3 minutes of being turned off.
Cooling and Heating mode: If the operation light and PRE-DEF (pre-heating/defrost)
indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold, activating the unit's anti-cold
wind feature in order to defrost the unit.
In Cooling-only mode: If the Fan-Only indicator is lit up, the outdoor temperature is
too cold, activating the unit's anti-freeze protection in order to defrost the unit.
The unit may change its settings to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once
the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the previously selected
mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the
compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room's air and the
conditioned air can cause white mist.
When the unit restarts in Heating mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted
due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its position.
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is off or in Cooling mode. The noise is
also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in Heating mode, due to
expansion and contraction of the unit's plastic parts.
Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and caused by refrigerant
gas flowing through both the indoor and outdoor units.
Low hissing sound when the system starts, stops running, or defrosting: This noise is
normal and caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts
caused by temperature changes during operation can cause squeaking noises.
