Lesson 1Pre-install checks: verifying unit model, matched components, refrigerant charge requirements, and tool listThis lesson covers checking indoor and outdoor unit match, label data, gas type and amount, site setup, and needed tools and gear before starting, to avoid redoing work, harm, and unsafe fits in Gambia.
Confirm indoor and outdoor model compatibilityCheck nameplate voltage, phase, and frequencyVerify factory refrigerant type and base chargeAssess site conditions and mounting constraintsPrepare tools, PPE, and test instrumentsLesson 2Commissioning documentation: recording measurements, settings, and customer handover paperworkHere you will record measured values, setup choices, and test outcomes, fill warranty and rule forms, and hand over to customer, explaining controls, upkeep, and main running limits in clear terms.
Record electrical and refrigeration readingsNote configuration and control settingsAttach photos or digital test reportsComplete warranty and compliance formsExplain operation and maintenance to userLesson 3Opening service valves, initial charge verification, measuring pressures and temperatures, and adjusting for altitude/line lengthThis lesson explains opening service valves right, checking total gas amount, measuring work pressures and line heats, and fixing for height and pipe length to keep inverter work within planned limits.

Pre-start visual and safety inspectionMonitor compressor and fan amp drawMeasure suction and discharge pressuresCheck supply-return temperature splitEvaluate noise, vibration, and airflowLesson 7Proper condensate drain installation: ensuring slope, trap formation (if required), and routing to approved discharge or pumpYou will learn how to plan and fit water drains with right slope, trap needs, covering, and guiding to okay out or pump, stopping leaks, smells, and water harm during cooling and wet air removal.
Determine drain outlet location and sizeSet continuous slope and support spacingTrap design for negative pressure unitsInsulate drain in humid environmentsTest drain flow and leak tightnessLesson 8Preparing mounting plate, drilling accurate holes, inserting anchors, and checking level and plumbThis lesson details readying the indoor fixing plate, marking layout, drilling true holes, fitting anchors, and checking level and straight so the unit drains well, seals tight, and fights shakes long-term.
Mark plate position and clearancesLocate studs or solid fixing pointsDrill wall and sleeve penetration holesInstall anchors suited to wall materialVerify plate level, plumb, and rigidityLesson 9Making copper connections: cutting, flaring procedure step-by-step, or brazing technique including flux and purge with nitrogenYou will learn right copper tube cutting, smoothing, flaring, and tightening, plus brazing ways with nitrogen clean and right flux use where needed, making sure clean, no-leak joins for inverter gas paths.
