Installation Check

How to Secure the Drain Pipe

1. To avoid vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installedsecurely and firmly.

2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly on theunit.If the unit receives direct sunlight, build an awning to shade thecabinet.

3. There should be no obstacle, like a fence, within 20" whichmight restrict heat radiation from the condenser.

4. To prevent reducing performance, install the unit so that louversof the cabinet are not blocked.

5. Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to leak the con-densed water into the room (about 1/2" or 1/4 bubble with level).

6. Install the unit with its bottom portion 30~60" above the floorlevel.

7. Stuff the foam between the top of the unit and the wall to pre-vent air and insects from getting into the room.

8. The power cord must be connected to an independent circuit.The green wire must be grounded.

9. Connect the drain tube to the base pan hole in the rear side ifyou need to drain (consult a dealer).Plastic hose or equivalent may be connected to the drain tube.

The setting conditions must be checked prior to initial starting.The following items are especially important check points when the installation is finished.1. Grounding wire (Green or Green and Yellow) is provided in the power cord. The green wire must be grounded.2. Connect to a single-outlet 15A circuit.

(or 20A circuit for Electric Heater Model)3. To avoid vibration or noise, make sure the air conditioner is installed securely.4 Avoid placing furniture or draperies in front of the air inlet and outlet.

In humid weather, excess water may cause the BASE PAN to overflow. To drainthe water, remove the DRAIN CAP and secure the DRAIN PIPE to the rear holeof the BASE PAN. Press the drain pipe into the hole by pushing down and awayfrom the fins to avoid injury.

Optional 1. Install the drain pan over the corner of the cabinet where you removed

the plug with 4 (or 2) screws.2. Connect the drain hose to the outlet located at the bottom of the drain

pan. You can purchase the drain hose or tubing locally to satisfy yourparticular needs. (Drain hose is not supplied).

3. Select the most appropriate connection from among the following figures(by considering the hole of the unit) to fit drain pan to your own unit.

— Replacement of the refrigeration cycle.1. When replacing the refrigeration cycle, be sure to

Discharge the refrigerant system using a FreonTM

recovery System.If there is no valve to attach the recovery system,install one (such as a WATCO A-1) before ventingthe FreonTM. Leave the valve in place after servicing the system.

2. After discharging the unit completely, remove thedesired component, and unbraze the pinch-offtubes.

3. Braze service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,leaving the valves open.

4. Braze the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.5. Evacuate as follows.

1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure28A.

2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold valves A and B with two full turns counterclock-wise and leave the valves open.The vacuum pump is now pulling through valvesA and B up to valve C by means of the manifoldand entire system.

CAUTION: If high vacuum equip-ment is used, just crack valves A

and B for a few minutes, then open slowlywith the two full turns counterclockwise.This will keep oil from foaming and beingdrawn into the vacuum pump.

3) Operate the vacuum pump vaccum for 20 to 30minutes, until 600 microns of vaccum isobtained. Close valves A and B, and observevacuum gauge for a few minutes. A rise in pres-sure would indicate a possible leak or moistureremaining in the system. With valves A and Bclosed, stop the vacuum pump.

4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump andplace it on the charging cylinder. See figure29B.Open valve C.Discharge the line at the manifold connection.

5) The system is now ready for final charging.

6. Recharge as follows :1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from

the High-side. If the total charge cannot be put in the High-side, the balance will be put in the suction line through the access valve which you installed as the system was opened.

2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure 28B.With valve C open, discharge the hose at themanifold connection.

3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to enter the system. Valve B is still closed.

4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not take it. Close valve A.

5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the balance of the charge.a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-

side.b. Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to

rise to 30 lbs.c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.d. Repeat steps b. and c. until the balance of the

charge is in the system.6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly,

use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos brazing and braze pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to set for a while, and then test the leakage of the pinch-off connection.

Connect wire. Refer to wiring diagram for terminalidentification. Repair or replace loose terminal.

Test capacitor.Replace if not within ±10% of manufacturer's rating.Replace if shorted, open, or damaged.

Fan blade hitting shroud or blower wheel hittingscroll. Realign assembly.

Units using slinger ring for condenser fan must have1/4 to 5/16 inch clearance to the base. If it hits thebase, shim up the bottom of the fan motor withmounting screw(s).

Check fan motor bearings; if motor shaft will notrotate, replace the motor.

Check voltage. If not within limits, call an electrician.

Test capacitor.Check bearings. Does the fan blade rotate freely?If not, replace fan motor.

Pay attention to any change from high speed tolow speed. If the speed does not change, replace themotor.

If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing,replace it.

If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing,replace it.

Tighten it.

If knocking sounds continue when running or loose,replace the motor. If the motor hums or noiseappears to be internal while running, replace motor.

Check voltage. If not within limits, call an electrician.

Check the wire connections, if loose, repair orreplace the terminal. If wires are off, refer to wiringdiagram for identification, and replace. Check wirelocations. If not per wiring diagram, correct.

Check the TEMP control. If not at the lowest number,set TEMP control to this setting and restart the unit. Check the continuity of the thermistor. Replace thethermistor if the circuit is open.

Check the capacitor.Replace if not within ±10% of manufacturers rating.Replace if shorted, open, or damaged.

Check the compressor for open circuit or ground. Ifopen or grounded, replace the compressor.

Check the compressor overload, if externally mount-ed. Replace if open. (If the compressor temperatureis high, remove the overload, cool it, and retest.)

Check the voltage.If not within limits, call an electrician.

Check overload, if externally mounted.Replace if open. (If the compressor temperature ishigh, remove the overload, cool, and retest.)

If not running, determine the cause. Replace ifrequired.

Remove the cabinet. inspect the interior surface ofthe condenser; if restricted, clean carefully with a vac-uum cleaner (do not damage fins) or brush. Clean theinterior base before reassembling.

If condenser fins are closed over a large area on thecoil surface, head pressures will increase, causingthe compressor to overload. Straighten the fins orreplace the coil.

Test capacitor.

Check the terminals. If loose, repair or replace.

Check the system for a restriction.

If restricted, clean of replace.

Close if open.

Determine if the unit is properly sized for the area tobe cooled.

Check the set screw or clamp. If loose or missing,correct. If the turbo or fan is hitting air guide,rearrange the air handling parts.

Remove the cabinet carefully and rearrange tubingnot to contact cabinet, compressor, shroud, and barri-er.
