Quick Guide from the Manual

This document provides essential installation and maintenance procedures for the Temperzone ISD 211LYX ducted split system. Important Safety Warning: These units use R32 refrigerant (Class A2L), which is mildly flammable. The system must be installed and stored in a well-ventilated space away from ignition sources. Always follow local health and safety regulations and ensure all work is performed by qualified technicians.

Installation

The installation process involves both the indoor (ISD) and outdoor (OSA) units.

Indoor Unit Positioning and Mounting

Use the supplied 'L' shape brackets to hang the unit on threaded rods or suspension wires.
For separable units (ISD 171/211/251), the coil section and fan section can be separated for easier maneuvering.
Mount the coil section level to ensure the drain tray functions correctly.
Fit insulated ducting according to best practices to minimize noise and ensure proper airflow.

Drains

Install the main drain tray pipe with a minimum slope of 20mm per meter (1 in 50).
A 'U' trap is required for the condensate drain.

Outdoor Unit

Ensure adequate clearances for airflow and servicing as per the specification sheet.
Avoid installing where fan blades face prevailing winds.
Use rubber pads or optional anti-vibration mounts to minimize vibration transmission.

Refrigeration

All refrigeration work must be performed by a technician with a current Refrigerant Handling Licence.

Piping and Brazing: Use clean, sealed refrigeration-grade piping. Insulate both suction (gas) and liquid lines.
Evacuation: Evacuate the indoor unit and interconnecting pipework to a vacuum pressure of 500 microns and hold for 15 minutes.
Charging: Calculate additional refrigerant based on line length. Do not exceed the maximum charge specified.

Wiring

Power: All wiring must be fitted by qualified persons. The unit requires a dedicated circuit breaker.
Control: Communication wiring between indoor and outdoor units must be shielded twisted pair cable (22-26 AWG). Keep communication cables at least 300mm away from mains power cables to minimize interference.

Start-up Procedure

Pre-start: Ensure the thermostat is OFF. Leave the unit off for 4 hours before starting to drive refrigerant out of the compressor.
Fan Adjustment: Fan speeds can be adjusted via the UC8 controller or the SAT-3 thermostat.
Compressor: Use the SW3 push button on the UC8 controller to enter commissioning mode ('c') to reduce waiting times during start-up.

Maintenance

Weekly (First 4 weeks): Check air filters, condensate drains, and compressor compartment for oil stains (indicating leaks).
Monthly: Clean or replace air filters.
Six Monthly: Check fan/motor mountings, electrical connections, and heat exchanger coils.
Yearly: Inspect refrigerant piping for chafing, check insulation, and clean outdoor coil fins.

Troubleshooting

Water Leaks: Usually caused by poor drain trapping or incorrect slope.
Heating Issues: Check for de-icing cycles or incorrect unit sizing.
Temperature Variations: Check for drafts, bad air circulation, or incorrect BMS wiring.

Practical help

Common problems

Indoor unit spitting or leaking water

Check the drain trap, vent, and slope. Ensure the drain tray is installed correctly.

Unit does not deliver heating when needed

The unit may be in a de-icing cycle. Also, check if the unit is correctly sized for the building's heat loss.

Temperature varies significantly from setting

Check for drafts from diffusers, bad air circulation, or incorrect BMS wiring.

Before use

Ensure both units are level.
Verify refrigerant charge size is appropriate for the room size.
Check that all electrical terminals are tight.
Confirm the drain trap is fitted and tested.
Ensure the thermostat is OFF and the unit has been off for 4 hours before initial start-up.
Verify that all access panels are in place.
