8. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Selecting the Installation Site Indoor Unit AVOID: areas where leakage of flammable gas may be expected. places where large amounts of oil mist exist. direct sunlight. locations near heat sources which may affect performance of the unit. locations where external air may enter the room directly.
Page 35
8. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Outdoor Unit AVOID: heat sources, exhaust fans, etc. (Fig. 2) damp, humid or uneven locations. choose a place as cool as possible. choose a place that is well ventilated and outside air temperature does not exceed maximum 115 F constantly. allow enough room around the unit for air intake/ exhaust and possible mainte- nance.
Page 36
8. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Air Discharge Chamber for Top Discharge Install the air-discharge chamber in the field when: it is difficult to keep a space of minimum 2 ft. between the air-discharge outlet and the obstacle. the air-discharge outlet is facing the side- walk and discharged hot air can annoy the passers-by.

11. PROCESSES AND FUNCTIONS Room Temperature Control The Unit adjusts room temperature by turning the outdoor unit’s compressor ON and OFF. This process is controlled by the thermostat located in the remote control unit. The figures on this and the next pages show how each part of the system performs when the room temperature changes and the thermostat activates the compressor to start (thermo ON) or stop (thermo OFF).
11. PROCESSES AND FUNCTIONS Freeze Prevention Freeze Prevention keeps the indoor heat exchange coil from freezing. Freezing reduces the efficiency of the unit, and frost buildup on the coil blocks cool air circulation from the indoor unit’s fan. MORE THAN 10 MINUTES INDOOR COIL TEMPERATURE 30 F...
11. PROCESSES AND FUNCTIONS Outdoor Fan Speed Control C4232 Type • In low outdoor temperature, the outdoor fan is set automatically from HIGH to LOW to prevent the indoor heat exchanger from freezing. • When the outdoor temperature falls below 78 F, the outdoor fan is set from HIGH to LOW automatically.
12. SERVICE PROCEDURES (1) Troubleshooting Check before and after Troubleshooting Many problems may happen because of wiring or power supply problems, so you should check these areas first. Problems here can cause false results in some of the other tests, and so should be corrected first. 1 1 1 1 1 Check power supply wiring (a) Single-phase...

• Check clogging of air filter. • Is fan speed set to LOW ? • Review cooling load estimate, if performance of air conditioner is normal. 12) Excessive Cooling. • The set temperature is too low. • Is the remote control unit installed...
12. SERVICE PROCEDURES A Sensor is Defective 1 1 1 1 1 Indoor (heat exchanger) coil temp. Sensor is defective. (a) Open (=No continuity in sensor) Compressor and outdoor fan repeat ON for 10 minutes and OFF for 6 minutes when sensor opens. (b) Short “Freeze Prevention”...
12. SERVICE PROCEDURES Checking the Electrical Components Measurement of Insulation Resistance • The electrical insulation is acceptable when the resistance exceeds 1 M . 1 1 1 1 1 Power Supply Wires Clamp the earthed wire of the Power Supply wires with a lead clip of the insu- lation resistance tester and measure the resistance by placing a probe on either of the power wires.
Page 63
12. SERVICE PROCEDURES Checking the Protective Devices • Disconnect the connector, which consists of P (plug) and S (socket) when you want to check the protective device. • Then check continuity among plug’s (and/or socket’s) terminal as in Fig. 17. •...
