SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read the following before installation. Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Understand these signal words: DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS C UTION • The unit should be installed and serviced only by trained, qualified installers and service mechanics. Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning coils.All other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. •...
INSTALLATION SITE INSTRUCTIONS Step 1 Installation Site of Indoor Unit Select a site that allows for the following: • Ensure the installation complies with the installation minimum dimensions and meets the minimum and maximum connecting piping length and maximum change in elevation. •...
INSTALLATION OF INDOOR UNIT Step 2 Piping Design and Layout The piping design and layout are critical factors for the overall performance and reliability of the system. Find the desired locations for each indoor unit and the outdoor unit. Measure and record the piping length (L1,L2, L3….Ln) from the outdoor unit to each indoor unit. NOTE: Min.

INSTALLATION OF INDOOR UNIT Step 4 Drill Hole in Wall for Interconnecting Piping, Drain & Wiring If indoor unit refrigerant piping is going to exit from the rear: 1. It is recommended that the refrigerant pipe flare connectors extend through the wall to the outside.
OUTDOOR UNIT PREPARATION Step 5 Install Ground Pad or Wall Hangers 1. Determine proper location for outdoor unit. 2. Follow all instructions provided by manufacturer for installing wall hangers or ground pad. 3. Verify the wall hangers or ground pad can safely support the weight of the outdoor unit. 4.
INSTALLATION OF REFRIGERANT PIPING Step 6 Piping Connections C UTION Use refrigeration grade tubing ONLY. No other type of tubing may be used. Use of other types of tubing will void manufacturer’s warranty. Make sure there is enough piping to cover the required length between the outdoor and indoor unit. Piping Preparation •...
INSTALLATION OF REFRIGERANT PIPING Step 6 (Cont’d) Piping and Drain Hose Connections to Indoor Unit NOTE: For maximum serviceability, it is recommended to have refrigerant pipe flare connections and the drain connection on the outside. 1. Feed refrigerant pipes, drain hose and interconnecting wires assembly through wall hole from outdoor to the indoor space.

INSTALLATION OF POWER AND WIRING Step 9 (Cont’d) Multiple Port Wiring Diagram (Reference Only) 6. Tightly connect main power wires to outdoor unit terminal block per wiring diagram above. 7. Secure all wires inside wire clamp/strain reliefs.Verify wires are secure, not loose and no external force on wires affects the connections at the terminals.
INSTALLATION OF POWER AND WIRING Local codes may require a disconnect switch within sight of the indoor unit. Use a DFS Disconnect Switch Accessory Kit (Part No: DFS-SWITCH-A) to break wires going to the N(1), 2, 3, terminals on the indoor unit, as shown in the wiring diagram below: C UTION Never break or interrupt the ground wire with a switch or disconnect device.
VACUUM TESTING Step 10 Leaking Test Leak test each indoor unit, one unit at a time. Repeat the leak test sequence for each indoor unit. 1. Connect the charging hose of the manifold valve to charge the end of the low-pressure valve. 2.
Page 25
VACUUM TESTING 5. Evacuate using either deep vacuum or triple evacuation method. 6. After evacuation is complete, fully close the low side of manifold gauge and stop operation of vacuum pump. 7. The factory charge contained in the outdoor unit is good for up to 25 ft. (8 m) of line length. NOTE: For refrigerant lines longer than 25 ft (8 m), add add’l refrigerant per foot of extra piping up to the maximum allowable length.
START-UP Step 12 Installing Photocatalytic Filter (optional) 1. Lift front panel and remove air filter. (Fig. a). 2. Attach photocatalytic filter onto air filter. (Fig. b). 3. Install air filter as shown; close panel. (Fig. c). Air Filter Photocatalytic Filter Fig.

START-UP Indoor Unit 1. Do all Remote Control buttons function properly? 2. Do the display panel lights work properly? 3. Does the swing louver function properly? 4. Does the drain work? Outdoor Unit 1. Push the mode button to COOL and adjust the room setting to 61° F deg. Wait up to 3 minutes from compressor time guard.
TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting This unit has onboard diagnostics. Informational and error codes will be displayed on the LED display on the front panel of the indoor unit in place of the temperature display.The unit will provide informational codes to alert the user of special system operations. Informational codes are not signs of system malfunctions or failures.
