Installation Guidelines

Unpack and inspect all components. Ensure proper location selection for optimal performance.

  1. Outdoor Unit Placement: Install on stable, level surface with adequate clearance for airflow and service access.
  2. Indoor Unit Mounting: Secure to wall or ceiling according to mounting template, ensuring level installation.
  3. Refrigerant Piping: Connect using flare fittings; perform proper evacuation and charging procedures.
  4. Electrical Connections: Connect power and communication cables following local electrical codes.
  5. Drain Line Installation: Route condensate drain line with proper slope away from the unit.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by qualified HVAC technicians only. Improper installation can cause injury, property damage, or system failure.

First-Time Setup & Commissioning

Power on system; perform initial setup and system check.

  1. Power Up: Turn on circuit breaker; outdoor unit should initialize with indicator lights.
  2. Remote Control Setup: Install batteries; pair with indoor unit if required.
  3. Test Operation: Run system in cooling and heating modes to verify proper function.
  4. System Settings: Configure temperature units, fan speeds, and operational preferences.
  5. Commissioning Check: Verify refrigerant charge, airflow, and drainage operation.

CAUTION! Do not operate system without proper refrigerant charge. Ensure all electrical connections are secure before powering on.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access controls via remote controller or optional wall-mounted thermostat.

Remote Controller: POWER, MODE (Auto/Cool/Heat/Dry/Fan), TEMPERATURE ▲/▼, FAN SPEED, TIMER, SWING, ECO, SLEEP, FILTER RESET.

Basic Settings: Temperature setpoint, Operation mode selection, Fan speed (Auto/Low/Medium/High), Louver direction (manual or auto swing). Advanced Settings: Timer programming (on/off schedules), Follow Me function activation, Eco mode settings, Filter reset indicator, Self-cleaning operation (if equipped).

Connecting System Components

Proper connection between outdoor unit, indoor unit(s), and controls is critical for system operation.

  1. Turn off all power before making any connections.
  2. Connect refrigerant piping using proper flaring tools and torque specifications.
  3. Run communication cable between outdoor and indoor units in separate conduit from power lines.
  4. Connect power wiring to designated terminals following wiring diagram.
  5. Install drain line with continuous downward slope (minimum 1/4" per foot).

Tip: Label all wires during installation for easier future service. Use only copper piping approved for R-410A refrigerant.

Operating Modes & Functions

System supports multiple operating modes for year-round comfort.

  1. Cooling Mode: Press MODE until snowflake icon appears; set desired temperature.
  2. Heating Mode: Press MODE until sun icon appears; set desired temperature.
  3. Dry Mode: Dehumidification without significant cooling; ideal for humid conditions.
  4. Fan Only: Circulates air without heating or cooling.
  5. Auto Mode: System automatically selects heating or cooling based on room temperature.
  6. Timer Function: Program unit to turn on/off at specific times.
  7. Swing Function: Adjust vertical/horizontal air flow direction.
  8. Sleep Mode: Gradually adjusts temperature for comfortable sleeping.
  9. Eco Mode: Optimizes operation for energy savings.
  10. Quick Start: Rapidly reaches set temperature when first turned on.

WARNING! Do not switch between heating and cooling modes rapidly. Allow system to complete cycle before changing modes.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

  1. Air Filter Cleaning: Remove and clean filters every 2-4 weeks during operation.
  2. Indoor Unit Cleaning: Wipe exterior with soft, damp cloth; clean condensate drain pan.
  3. Outdoor Unit Maintenance: Keep area clear of debris; clean coil annually.
  4. System Inspection: Check refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and mounting annually.
  5. Professional Service: Schedule annual maintenance by qualified technician.

Care & Cleaning
