4.
Check if the unit is horizontally levelled.
•
Do not install the unit tilted. The indoor unit is equipped with a
built-in drain pump and float switch. (If the unit is tilted against the
direction of the condensate flow (the drain piping side is raised),
the float switch may malfunction and cause water to drip.)
•
Check if the unit is levelled at all four corners with a water level or
a water-filled vinyl tube as shown in
figure 12
.

Remove the paper pattern for installation. (For new ceilings
only.)

PIPING
WORK
For refrigerant piping of outdoor unit, refer to the installation manual
supplied with the outdoor unit.
Execute heat insulation work completely on both sides of the gas
piping and the liquid piping. Otherwise, this can sometimes result in
water leakage.
Before rigging tubes, check which type of refrigerant is used.
■
Use a pipe cutter and flare suitable for the used refrigerant.
■
To prevent dust, moisture or other foreign matter from infiltrating
the tube, either pinch the end, or cover it with tape.
■
Use copper alloy seamless pipes (ISO 1337).
■
The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant.
■
To prevent water leakage, execute heat insulation work
completely on both sides of the gas and liquid piping. When
using a heat pump, the temperature of the gas piping can reach
up to approximately 120°C, use insulation which is sufficiently
heat resistant.
■
Be sure to use both a spanner and torque wrench together when
connecting or disconnecting pipes to/from the unit.
■
Do not mix anything other than the specified refrigerant, such as
air, etc..., inside the refrigerant circuit.
■
Refer to
Table 1
for the dimensions of flare nut spaces and the
appropriate tightening torque. (Overtightening may damage the
flare and cause leaks.)
Table 1
■
When connecting the flare nut, coat the flare inner surface with
ether oil or ester oil and initially tighten 3 or 4 turns by hand
before tightening firmly.
■
If the refrigerant gas leaks during the work, ventilate the area. A
toxic gas is emitted by the refrigerant gas being exposed to a fire.
■
Make sure there is no refrigerant gas leak. A toxic gas may be
released by the refrigerant gas leaking indoor and being
exposed to flames from an area heater, cooking stove, etc.
■
Finally, insulate as shown in the figure below (use the supplied
accessory parts)
