Installation Guide
Tools Needed:
- Refrigerant manifold gauge set
- Vacuum pump
- Torque wrench set
- Flaring tool kit
- Multimeter
- Tube cutter
- Leak detector
Step-by-Step Installation
- Site Preparation: Select a location with proper clearance (minimum 30cm from walls), solid mounting surface, and adequate drainage.
- Mounting Unit: Secure outdoor unit on vibration-absorbing pads or mounting brackets. Ensure level installation.
- Refrigerant Line Installation: Connect copper lines using proper flaring techniques. Apply insulation to suction line.
- Electrical Connection: Connect to dedicated circuit with proper disconnect. Follow local electrical codes.
- Drain Line Installation: Install condensate drain line with proper slope (minimum 1/4" per foot) and trap.
- Vacuum and Charge: Evacuate system to 500 microns, hold for 15 minutes. Charge with specified refrigerant amount.
- System Testing: Test operation in cooling and heating modes. Verify proper airflow and temperature differential.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not turning on | Power supply issue, tripped breaker, faulty remote | Check power supply, reset breaker, replace remote batteries |
| Insufficient cooling/heating | Dirty filters, low refrigerant, blocked airflow | Clean filters, check refrigerant charge, clear obstructions |
| Water leakage | Clogged drain line, improper installation, frozen coil | Clear drain line, check installation angle, defrost system |
| Unusual noises | Loose parts, debris in fan, compressor issues | Tighten mounting hardware, clean fan blades, check compressor |
| Frequent cycling | Dirty filters, thermostat issues, oversized unit | Clean/replace filters, calibrate thermostat, verify sizing |
| Ice formation on coils | Low airflow, low refrigerant, dirty coils | Check filters and fan, verify refrigerant charge, clean coils |
