automatically, e.g. after a power failure.
· Do not wear any loose-fitting clothing or jewelry and confine long hair with a cap to
decrease the potential for entanglement in machinery.
· Ensure that the wiring and its insulation has been done correctly, otherwise, it
might result in fire or electric shock.
· Never connect the grounding wire to a gas pipeline, water pipe, lightning arrester,
etc. An improper grounding device can may to electric shock and other hazards.
· Never touch any electrical appliance with wet hands or flush the unit with water
directly. There is danger of electric shock or other accidents.

CAUTION

[Failure to follow the instructions may cause minor personal injury or property damage.]
· Installation and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel who are
authorized by the supplier and are familiar with relevant local laws and regulations
and have experience in this type of equipment.
· Always keep the air inlet and supply paths unobstructed.
· Turn off the power supply if the unit will not be used for a long time.
· The air conditioning unit shall not operate in corrosive gas environment as it may
lead to damage to the unit enclosure, pipeline or electrical elements.
· Install and insulate the drain pipe according to the instructions to ensure smooth
water drainage and prevent condensation.

3 Handling and Storage

3.1 Handling and Lifting of the Unit
The performance of tools such as cranes or forklifts used for unit transportation must
meet safety requirements. The quality and transportation methods must comply with local
laws and regulations to avoid accidents. The unit or packing box should be paid special
attention to keep horizontal and avoid unnecessary damage to the components when
handling and lifting. The forklift loading and unloading port, and lifting lugs are reserved
for the unit or packaging box before delivery. Operate according to the method shown in
the figure during lifting to avoid danger or damage to the unit.
· Insert material such as hard cardboard at the position where the wire rope comes
into contact with the unit, preventing the wire rope from scratching the unit.
· Before lifting, estimate the approximate center of gravity of the unit.
· Use lifting straps with sufficient strength to carry the unit for safety.
· Hoist the unit using the lifting lugs provided at the bottom of the unit.
· Run test-liftings to ensure that the unit is balance and stable before the installation.
· Never lift the unit above personnel. This may lead to serious injury or even death.

Figure 3.1 Unit Lifting Method.

3.2 Unit Storage

1. Units and their parts should be stored in the following indoor environment:
Relative humidity: <80%
Ambient temperature: -30°C - +50°C.
Units and their parts should be kept far from dust, gas, steam or any other
chemicals that may affect their performance.
2. The unit is packaged as a whole and cannot be stacked up.
3. It is recommended to store the unit for no longer than one year in order to
guarantee trouble-free operation and the longest possible service life.
4. If the unit needs to be kept outdoors before being installed in the equipment
room,
6
 AHU
prevent the unit from being affected by dirt, rain and snow or destroyed by animals,
and do not remove the protective film on the surface of the unit. Do not expose the
unit under direct sunshine to prevent deformation of the PU board.
If the unit needs to be installed outdoors, specify this requirement when placing the order
so that the factory can take special treatment measures.

4 Installation
4.1 Installation of the Unit
1. Carefully check whether the unit is damaged before unit installation. If any of the
following cases occurs, contact the distributor as soon as possible for repairing or
replacement:
a. Impact or serious deformation of the unit.
b. Damage of internal parts;
c. Malfunction of the fan.
2. The installation of the unit shall be conducted by professionals who are familiar with
the product and understand related local regulations. Do not collide or scratch the
unit during installation.
3. For the sake of safety, the supporting structure of ceiling type unit must be strong
enough to bear the weight of the unit and the vibration during unit operation. The
unit must also be kept horizontal to prevent overflow of condensate water from the
drain pan.
4. Space of at least 700 - 800 mm should be reserved around the unit, especially at the
side of the access door (panel) and external water pipe to ease the maintenance
and installation work.
5. The drain piping and exhaust valve are set at the side of heat exchanger header.
Loosen the exhaust valve to discharge air when water is supplied and tighten it
after finish discharging. Drain all the accumulated water in the unit if the unit is to
be stopped operating for a period of time.

4.2 Installation of Water Piping System

1. Before installation, clean the water pipe. Install filter at the water inlet section to
prevent impurities from entering the heat exchanger.
2. When connecting the water inlet and outlet pipe to the unit, use a double tube
clamp to exert even force to the opposite direction at the same time. The torque
force cannot exceed 250.8 N.m (21 Kgf.m), otherwise the pipe would crack due to
twisting and lead to water leakage. The water supply/return pipe outside the unit
must be install with a valve (excluding the condensate drain pipe) to regulate the
flow and cut off the water source during unit overhauling. Thermal insulation
measures must be taken for the water pipes connected to the unit.
For the heat exchanger using cold water as medium, the lower pipe is for the water
3.
inlet, while the upper pipe is for the water outlet. Please connect the pipes
8
 AHU

according to the labels on the unit.

4.All the water pipe joints must be sealed to prevent water leakage.
5.The unit is unable to bear extra weight other than the drain pipe, water inlet and
outlet pipes.
6.The temperature of refrigerant used for standard model cannot be less than 5°C.
The condensate drain piping is located at the bottom of the unit. The U-trap should
7.
be installed according to the internal negative pressure of the unit under operation,
in order to ensure a smooth discharge of condensate and prevent external odor
from entering the cabinet.

When the internal negative

pressure is greater than 800 Pa, H
needs to be increased.

Figure 4.1 U-Trap Installation.

 AHU

4.3 Installation of the Ducting System

1. The inlet and outlet duct connected to the unit should be sealed to prevent air
leakage. Thermal insulation measures must be taken at the joint of the air outlet
flange and the ducting.
2. Install flexible connector between the air inlet/outlet and the ducting to prevent the
vibration from the unit from transmitting to the ducts or floor.
3. Support the ductwork independently of unit to prevent overloading, and excess
noise and vibration.

4.4 Electrical Wiring

The figure below shows the general wiring diagram of the EC fan. The factory only
connects the power cable and part of the signal cables. Hence, if special control
requirement is needed, please specify it while placing the order.

5 Test Run
5.1 Pre-Startup Inspection
1. Ensure that the unit is mounted securely to the supporting structure and is kept
level.
2. Check that all the ducting and piping are connected correctly to the unit.
3. Check that the electrical wiring of the fan is complete and in accordance with the
wiring diagram. Make sure that the fan is grounded.
4. Open the exhaust valve on the water return pipe and close it after air is removed
from the coil and pipeline.
5. Rotate the fan impeller manually to check whether there is any abnormal friction
sound. If yes, eliminate the cause.
6. Ensure the condensate drainage is unobstructed and properly installed.
7. Verify that the interior of the unit is clean and free from dirt, tool, or any other
foreign objects.
8. Check the condition of the filter and make sure that the duct connected to the unit
is clean.
9. Make sure that the power supply matches the device voltage.

5.2 Test Run Procedure

1. Start the test run after the pre-startup inspection has been well completed.
2. Make sure the fan operating current do not exceed the rated current.
3. Ensure low-vibration operation of the fan over the entire speed control range.
4. Check whether the condensate is drained properly without water leakage.
5. Check whether there is any abnormal air noise and air leakage.
6. Check whether the unit air flow and air pressure are normal. The cooling capacity
should be regulated according to different operating conditions.
7. If the EC fan needs to be switched off during operation, switch it off via the control
input. Do not switch the motor (e.g. in cyclic operation) on and off via power supply.
8. Disconnect the ground connection last if the EC fan is to be removed for
maintenance.

17
 AHU

6 Routine Maintenance
Note: Maintenance work can only be carried out after the unit has been completely
stopped.
Check the unit operating status on an irregular basis, and implement long-term and
effective maintenance for the unit so as to greatly improve the unit operation reliability and
service life.
1. To ensure good ventilation and achieve high heat exchange efficiency, check the
condition of air filters on a monthly basis, or on a weekly basis in places where air
environment is poor. Once the maximum pressure drop has been reached, clean or
replace the filter. The factory recommended the following maximum pressure drop:
Filter Maximum Pressure Drop (Pa)
MERV 5 (Primary Efficiency) 100
2. Inspect the condition of coil quarterly to confirm whether it is necessary to clean the
coil. Clean when fouling is observed. After the unit has been used for 2-3 years,
clear the water scale inside the pipe.
3. Check that the condensate discharge has no clogging and leaking issues.
4. Clean the drain pan and water seal elbow on an annual basis.
5. Check the flexible connector of air duct regularly. In case of air leakage, repair it in
time.
6. Inspect the wiring to make sure that the connections are tight and well insulated.
7. After checking, make sure that the EC fan terminal box is completely closed and
that all screws and cable glands have been properly tightened.
8. Inspect the fan for proper operation and soiling. Only clean when the fan is not in
motion. Do not disconnect the fan from power supply, just switch it off via control
input to prevent startup of the fan.
9. Use dry cleaning method (e.g. compressed air) to clean the fan. Deposition of dirt
on the motor housing can cause overheating of the motor, and soiling of the
impeller can cause vibration that will shorten the service life of the fan. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agent such as acid, alkali, or solvent-based cleaning agent.
10. If cleaning does not eliminate vibrations, the fan may need to be rebalanced. To
have it rebalanced, contact the supplier.
11. The fan is equipped with maintenance-free ball bearings. The lifetime lubrication of
the ball bearings is designed for a service life of at least 40,000 hours. If bearing
replacement is necessary after that period, contact the supplier.
12. Do not perform any repairs on the fan. Send it to supplier for repair or replacement.

18
 AH
13. If the unit is under prolonged downtime in winter, turn off the power supply and
fully drain the coil to prevent freezing. Compressed air can be utilized to remove
residue water in the coil. During the downtime, start and operate the EC fan at full
speed for one hour at least every four months to move the bearings and allow any
condensate that may have ingressed to evaporate.
14. To remove the service panel, do not pull it out from the bottom. Remove it slowly
from the top, otherwise the lining board of service panel would be damaged by
pulling.
