Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics should install, start-up, and service this equipment. Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as coil cleaning. All other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment. Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Keep a quenching cloth and fire extinguisher nearby when brazing. Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky equipment. Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions included in literature and attached to the unit. Consult local building codes and current editions of the National Electrical Code (NEC) NFPA 70. In Canada, refer to current editions of the Canadian electrical code CSA 22.1. 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. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death. Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label. Failure to follow this warning could result in death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Never use air or gases containing oxygen for leak testing or operating refrigerant compressors. Pressurized mixtures of air or gases containing oxygen can lead to an explosion. EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation. Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section during extended periods of system shutdown. This causes refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the compressor at start- up. GENERAL These instructions cover the installation, start-up and servicing of the multi -zone outdoor unit connected to up to five indoor fan coil units.

Refer to the product data for approved combinations. INSTALLATION TIPS Ideal installation locations include: Outdoor Unit • A location which is convenient to installation and not exposed to strong winds. • A location which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and where the outdoor unit can be mounted in a level position. • A location with appropriate clearances as outlined (see Fig. 8 — on page 8). • Do not install the indoor or outdoor units in a location with special environmental conditions. For those applications, contact your Ductless representative. OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION 1. Use a rigid base to support unit in a level position. 2. Locate the outdoor unit and connect piping and wiring. EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation. Excessive torque can break flare nut depending on installation conditions. NOTE: Install the outdoor unit on a rigid base to reduce noise levels and vibration. Determine the optimal air outlet direction to prevent discharged air from being blocked. If the installation site is exposed to strong winds such as a coastal areas, ensure the fan's proper operation by installing the unit lengthwise along the wall or use dust or shield plates. If the unit needs to be suspended, the installation bracket should comply with the suspension requirements in the installation bracket diagram. The installation wall should be solid brick, concrete or the same intensity construction, or take steps to reinforce and dampen the support. The connection between the bracket and the wall as well as the bracket and the air conditioner should be firm, stable and reliable. Ensure there is no obstacle which may block the radiating air. Strong wind 0 _ O X Fig. 10 —High Wind Installation A220007 MAKE REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS (OUTDOOR UNIT) IMPORTANT: Use refrigeration grade tubing ONLY. No other type of tubing may be used. Use of other tubing types will void the manufacturer's warranty. Piping Guide: • Do not open service valves or remove protective caps from tubing ends until all the connections are made. • Bend the tubing with bending tools to avoid kinks and flat spots. • Keep the tubing free of dirt, sand, moisture, and other contaminants to avoid damaging the refrigerant system. • Avoid sags in the suction line to prevent the formation of oil traps. Insulate each tube with minimum 3/8-in. (10 mm) wall thermal pipe insulation. Inserting the tubing into the insulation before making the connections saves time and improves installation quality. 1. The unit is equipped with multiple pairs of service valves. Each pair is clearly marked (color and letter) to identify the indoor unit circuits. In the outdoor unit wiring area, each indoor unit interconnecting terminal block is marked (letter) the same as the corresponding pair of service valves. The indoor units must be piped and wired in matched sets (A to A; B to B, etc.). NOTE: Any size indoor unit can be connected to any port number on the outdoor unit. 2. It is not required to use all of the available fan coil connections if the application does not require them at the current time. The system can be expanded at any time. 3.

Indoor units do not have to be in the run mode. The outdoor temperature should be above 41 °F (5°C) to use this feature. Press CHECK on the outdoor unit PCB board for 6 seconds until the display shows "CE" ("FA" may appear first — continue to press CHECK). The outdoor unit takes control of the indoor units and adjust fan speed(s) according to the program. Setpoint display (if available) will be "76" and outdoor unit will start the compressor and fan to dispense refrigerant to the indoor heads to determine piping setup versus physical wiring. When the controller has adjusted control so that each indoor unit is synced to its piping port (approximately 5-10 minutes, depending on temperature, unit size, etc.), "CE" is replaced with "00" on the display and the control program terminates. NOTE: The indoor units will not automatically release from the "76" setting or return to previous control. Use the indoor units' remote controllers to restore them to normal function.

Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump. Refrigerant pipes and indoor unit coils should be evacuated using the recommended 500 microns deep vacuum method. The alternate triple evacuation method may be used if the following procedure is followed. Always break a vacuum with dry nitrogen. NOTE: All units (except the 18,000 BTU model) have a Master Suction and Liquid Line Service Valve. Using Vacuum Pump 1. Completely tighten the flare nuts of the liquid and gas pipes on the indoor and outdoor side (for all fan coils) (see Fig 22 ). Outdoor Unit Refrigerant Indoor Unii Gas Side Liquid Side Service Valve Fig. 22 —Service Valves A220020 2. For size 18, DO NOT open the Gas or Liquid service valves until the evacuation is complete. For sizes 24-48, fully open all the connected individual service valves (with the line set attached). DO NOT open the Master Service Valves until the evacuation is complete (see Fig 23 ). 3. For size 18, connect the manifold gauge (low side hose) to the Individual Service Valve (5/16 port, use the adapter to fit a 1/4in hose) to evacuate each of the circuits. For sizes 24-48, connect the manifold gauge (low side hose) to the Master service valve (5/16 port, use the adapter to fit a 1/4in. hose) to evacuate all circuits at the same time (see Fig. 25). 4. Connect the charge hose to the vacuum pump. 5. Open (fully) the low pressure valve of the manifold gauge (see Fig. 25 for 18K. Fig. 24 for sizes 24K-48K). 6. Start the vacuum pump. 7. Evacuate using either the deep vacuum or the triple evacuation method (see Fig. 27 and 28). 8. After the evacuation is complete, fully close the low pressure valve of the manifold gauge and stop the vacuum pump operation. 9. Insert a hexagonal wrench into each Gas Side Service Valve for size 18 or into the Master Gas Side Service Valve for sizes 24-48 and open the valve by turning the wrench 1/4 counterclockwise. Listen for gas to exit the system (see Fig. 23). Flare nut 0 6�51 e_ Cap Valve body Valve stem Fig. 23 —Service Valve Diagram A220021 10. Reference Table 5 on page 5 when additional charge is needed. 11. Disconnect the charge hoses and manifold gauge. 12. Using a hexagonal wrench, fully open all the gas and liquid service valves for the size 18 and all the Master Gas and Liquid service valves for sizes 24-48 (see Fig. 23).
