6.3 Pipe length and the elevation
Caution:
The capacity test is based on the standard length and the maximum permissive length is based on the
system reliability.

6.4 Installation for the first time
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as below:
● Pressure in the system rises.
● Operating current rises.
● Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
● Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
● Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system.
Therefore, the indoor units and the pipes between indoor and outdoor units must be leak tested
and evacuated to remove gas and moisture from the system.
Gas leak check (Soap water method):
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connections or outdoor unit
connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points of the piping. If bubbles
come out, the pipes have leakage.

the meter does not indicate -0.1Mpa after pumping 30 minutes, it should be pumped 20 minutes more. If
the pressure can’t achieve -0.1Mpa after pumping 50 minutes, please check if there are some leakage
points.
Fully close the handle Lo valve of the manifold valve and stop the operation of the vacuum pump.
Confirm that the gauge needle does not move (approximately 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum
pump).
7) Turn the flare nut of the 3-way valves about 45° counterclockwise for 6 or 7seconds after the gas
coming out, then tighten the flare nut again. Make sure the pressure display in the pressure indicator is
a little higher than the atmosphere pressure. Then remove the charge hose from the 3 way valve.

frequency limit are active and the same as that in cooling mode.
When the machine is off, pressing the touch button will carry the machine to forced auto mode. If
pressing the button once again within 5 seconds, the machine will turn into forced cooling mode.
In forced auto, forced cooling or any other operation mode, pressing touch button will turn off the
machine.
[Link] In forced operation mode, all general protections and remote control are available.
The compressor runs at F2 frequency and indoor fan runs as breeze. After running for 30 minutes. the
The action of forced auto mode is the same as normal auto mode with 24℃ setting temperature.

8.4.7 Timer function
[Link] Timer on. The machine will turn on automatically when reaching the setting time.
[Link] Timer off. The machine will turn off automatically when reaching the setting time.
[Link] Timer on/off. The machine will turn on automatically when reaching the setting “on” time, and
then turn off automatically when reaching the setting “off” time.
[Link] Timer off/on. The machine will turn off automatically when reaching the setting “off” time, and
[Link] The timer function will not change the AC current operation mode. Suppose AC is off now, it will
not start up firstly after setting the “timer off” function. And when reaching the setting time, the timer
LED will be off and the AC running mode has not been changed.
[Link] Operation time in sleep mode is 7 hours. After 7 hours the AC quits this mode and turns off.
When cooling, the setting temperature rises 1℃ (be lower than 30℃) every one hour, 2 hours later the
setting temperature stops rising and indoor fan is fixed as low speed.
When heating, the setting temperature decreases 1℃ (be higher than 17℃) every one hour, 2 hours
later the setting temperature stops rising and indoor fan is fixed as low speed. (Anti-cold wind function
[Link] When user uses timer off function in sleep mode (or sleep function in timer off mode), if the
timing is less than 7 hours, sleep function will be cancelled when reaching the setting time. If the timing
is more than 7 hours, the machine will not stop until reaches the setting time in sleep mode.
The indoor unit is equipped with auto-restart function, which is carried out through an auto-restart
module. In case of a sudden power failure, the module memorizes the setting conditions before the
power failure. The unit will resume the previous operation setting (not including swing function)
If AC is off before power off and AC is required to start up now, the compressor will have 1 minute
delay when power on. Other conditions, the compressor will have 3 minutes delay when restarts.
8.4.10 8℃ Heating(optional)
In heating operation, the preset temperature of the air conditioner can be as lower as 8℃, which keeps
the room temperature steady at 8℃ and prevents household things freezing when the house is
1) If the indoor PCB receives the signal which results from pressing the FOLLOW ME button on
remote controller, the buzzer will emit a sound and this indicates the follow me function is initiated. But
when the indoor PCB receives signal which sent from remote controller every 3 minutes, the buzzer
will not respond. When the unit is running with follow me function, the PCB will control the unit
according to the temperature from follow me signal, and the temperature collection function of room
temperature sensor will be shielded, but the error detective function of room temperature sensor will
be still valid.
2) When the follow me function is available, the PCB will control the unit according to the room
3) The PCB will take action to the mode change information from remote controller signal, but it
4) When the unit is running with follow me function, if the PCB doesn’t receive any signal from
remote controller for 7 minutes or pressing FOLLOW ME button again, the follow me function will be
turned off automatically, and the temperature collection function of room temperature sensor will be
available, the PCB will control the unit according to the room temperature detected from its own room
For heat pump models which are provided with this function, after running in cooling or drying mode, if
the user press “Self Clean” button on remote controller, firstly, indoor unit runs in fan only mode for a
59
while, then low heat operation and finally runs in fan only again. This function can keep the inside of
indoor unit dry and prevent breeding of mold.
With this new technology, the display area will show “EC” when the outdoor unit detects refrigerant
leakage.
When starting the unit again after shutting down, its louver will restore to the angle originally set by the
user, but the precondition is that the angle must be within the allowable range, if it exceeds, it will
memorize the maximum angle of the louver. During operation, if the power fails or the end user shuts
down the unit in the turbo mode, the louver will restore to the default angle.
With the built-in infrared sensor, the indoor unit detects human movement. The AC will turn off if you
leave the room for 30 minutes and turn on automatically when you come back, which helps saving
more energy.

The PCB will detect the voltage of power supply and adjust the compressor running frequency to

In the first 10 seconds after power on, this protection is inactive.
When this protection happens, it will last 3 minutes and then the PCB will detect the power supply
voltage again.

Connect discharge resistance (approx.100Ω 40W) or soldering iron (plug) between +, - terminals of the electrolytic
capacitor on the contrary side of the outdoor PCB.
Note: The picture above is only for reference. The plug of your side may be different.
