PRECAUTION FOR USING R32 REFRIGERANT
•
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R410A, R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
When connecting fl are at indoor side, make sure that the fl are connection is used only once, if torqued up and released, the fl are must be remade. Once
the fl are connection was torqued up correctly and leak test was made, thoroughly clean and dry the surface to remove oil, dirt and grease by following
instructions of silicone sealant. Apply neutral cure (Alkoxy type) & ammonia-free silicone sealant that is non-corrosive to copper & brass to the external of the
fl ared connection to prevent the ingress of moisture on both the gas & liquid sides. (Moisture may cause freezing and premature failure of the connection)
The appliance shall be stored, installed and operated in a well ventilated room with comply to Indoor Floor Area Requirement and without any
continuously operating ignition source. Keep away from open fl ames, any operating gas appliances or any operating electric heater. Else, it may explode
and cause injury or death.
Refer to "PRECAUTION FOR USING R32 REFRIGERANT" in outdoor unit installation manual for other precautions that need to pay attention to.
INDOOR FLOOR AREA REQUIREMENT
If the total refrigerant charge in the system is <1.84 kg, no additional minimum fl oor area is required.
•
•
If the total refrigerant charge in the system is ≥1.84 kg, additional minimum fl oor area requirements is complied as described below:

B) Determine Total Floor Area of A
1. Calculate the B

C) Determine Minimum Venting Opening Area, VA
1. From Table III, calculate m
2. Then determine VA
corresponding to the calculated m

Bottom opening: - Must comply to the minimum area requirement of VA
- Opening must be located 300mm from the fl oor.
- At least 50% of required opening area must be
200mm from the fl oor.
- The bottom of the opening shall not be higher
than the point of release when the unit is installed
and must be situated 100mm above the fl oor.
- Must be as close as possible to the fl oor and lower
than H .
•
Top opening:
- The total size of the Top opening must be more
than 50% of VA
- Opening must be located 1500mm above the fl oor.
•
The height of the openings must more than 20mm.
A direct ventilation opening to outside is NOT encouraged for ventilation
