To connect the refrigerant piping to the
indoor unit
CAUTION
Install the refrigerant piping or components in a position
where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance
which may corrode components containing refrigerant,
unless the components are constructed of materials that
are inherently resistant to corrosion or are suitably
protected against corrosion.
WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The R32 refrigerant (if applicable) in this unit is mildly
flammable. Refer to the outdoor unit specifications for the
type of refrigerant to be used.
▪
Pipe length
. Keep refrigerant piping as short as possible.
▪
Flare connections

6.4.1
About connecting the electrical wiring
Typical workflow
Connecting the electrical wiring typically consists of the following
stages:
1
Making sure the power supply system complies with the
electrical specifications of the units.
2
Connecting the electrical wiring to the outdoor unit.
3
Connecting the electrical wiring to the indoor unit.
4
Connecting the main power supply.
6.4.2
Precautions when connecting the
electrical wiring
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
following chapters:
▪ General safety precautions
▪ Preparation
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
WARNING
ALWAYS use multicore cable for power supply cables.
WARNING
Use an all-pole disconnection type breaker with at least
3 mm between the contact point gaps that provide full
disconnection under overvoltage category III.
WARNING
If the supply cord is damaged, it MUST be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
6.4.3
Guidelines when connecting the electrical
wiring
Keep the following in mind:
▪ If stranded conductor wires are used, install a round crimp-style
terminal on the end of the wire. Place the round crimp-style
terminal on the wire up to the covered part and fasten the terminal
with the appropriate tool.
