Installation Guide
Tools Needed:
- Refrigeration manifold gauge set
- Vacuum pump
- Tube cutter and flaring tool
- Torque wrench
- Multimeter
- Level
- Drill with hole saw attachments
Step-by-Step Installation
- Site Selection: Choose appropriate location for outdoor unit with proper clearance (minimum 30cm from walls) and indoor unit placement considering ductwork routing.
- Mounting Brackets: Install wall brackets for outdoor unit using corrosion-resistant fasteners rated for unit weight plus safety factor.
- Refrigerant Piping: Connect copper refrigerant lines between indoor and outdoor units using proper insulation and ensuring no kinks or sharp bends.
- Electrical Wiring: Connect power supply (220-240V) following local electrical codes. Install dedicated circuit with proper grounding.
- Ductwork Installation: Install insulated ductwork with proper sizing (calculate CFM requirements). Ensure all joints are sealed with mastic or foil tape.
- Condensate Drain: Install condensate drain line with proper slope (minimum 1/4" per foot) and trap. Connect to approved drainage point.
- Vacuum and Charge: Evacuate system to 500 microns, hold for 15 minutes. Charge with specified refrigerant type and quantity.
- System Testing: Test all modes (cooling, heating, fan), check temperature differentials, verify thermostat operation.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System not starting | Power outage, tripped breaker, thermostat issue | Check power supply, reset circuit breaker, verify thermostat settings |
| Poor cooling/heating | Dirty filters, low refrigerant, blocked vents | Clean filters, check refrigerant charge, clear obstructions |
| Unusual noises | Loose parts, debris in fan, vibration | Tighten mounting hardware, clean fan blades, check isolation |
| Water leakage | Clogged drain line, improper slope, frozen coil | Clear drain line, ensure proper slope, check for ice buildup |
| Frequent cycling | Oversized unit, thermostat location, dirty coils | Verify unit sizing, relocate thermostat, clean evaporator coil |
| Error codes displayed | Sensor failure, communication error, component fault | Refer to error code chart, check connections, contact technician |
Common Error Codes
