• Make sure that a separate power supply circuit is provided 

for this unit and that all electrical work is carried out by 
qualified personnel according to local, state, and national 
regulations. An insufficient power supply capacity or 
improper electrical construction may lead to electric shock 
or fire.

• Make sure that all wiring is secured, that specified wires are 

used, and that no external forces act on the terminal 
connections or wires. Improper connections or installation 
may result in fire.

• When wiring, position the wires so that the electrical wiring 

box cover can be securely fastened. Improper positioning of 
the electrical wiring box cover may result in electric shock, 
fire, or the terminals overheating.

• Before touching electrical parts, turn off the unit.

• The circuit must be protected with safety devices in 

accordance with local and national codes, i.e. a circuit 
breaker.

• Securely fasten the outdoor unit terminal cover (panel). If the 

terminal cover/panel is not installed properly, dust or water 
may enter the outdoor unit causing fire or electric shock.

• When installing or relocating the system, keep the 

refrigerant circuit free from substances other than the 
specified refrigerant (R410A) such as air. Any presence of 
air or other foreign substance in the refrigerant circuit can 
cause an abnormal pressure rise or rupture, resulting in 
injury.

• Do not change the setting of the protection devices. If the 

pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protection device is 
shorted and operated forcibly, or parts other than those 
specified by Daikin are used, fire or explosion may occur.

CAUTION

• Do not touch the switch with wet fingers. Touching a switch 

with wet fingers can cause electric shock.

• Do not allow children to play on or around the unit to prevent 

injury.

• The heat exchanger fins are sharp enough to cut. To avoid 

injury wear gloves or cover the fins while working around 
them.

• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately 

after operation as the refrigerant pipes may be hot or cold, 
depending on the condition of the refrigerant flowing through 
the refrigerant piping, compressor, and other refrigerant 
cycle parts. Your hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you 
touch the refrigerant pipes. To avoid injury, give the pipes 
time to return to normal temperature or, if you must touch 
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.

• Install drain piping to ensure proper drainage. Improper 

drain piping may result in water leakage and property 
damage.

• Insulate piping to prevent condensation.

• Be careful when transporting the product.

• Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping 

operation. Always wait for at least 5 minutes before turning 
off the power. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.

• Do not use a charging cylinder. Using a charging cylinder 

may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.

• Refrigerant R410A in the system must be kept clean, dry, 

and tight.

(a) Clean and Dry -- Foreign materials (including mineral oils 

such as SUNISO oil or moisture) should be prevented 
from getting into the system.

(b) Tight -- R410A does not contain any chlorine, does not 

destroy the ozone layer, and does not reduce the earth’s 
protection again harmful ultraviolet radiation. R410A can 
contribute to the greenhouse effect if it is released. 
Therefore take proper measures to check for the tightness 
of the refrigerant piping installation. Read the chapter 

Refrigerant Piping Work

 and follow the procedures.

• Since R410A is a blend, the required additional refrigerant 

must be charged in its liquid state. If the refrigerant is 
charged in a state of gas, its composition can change and 
the system will not work properly.

• The indoor unit is for R410A. See the catalog for indoor 

models that can be connected. Normal operation is not 
possible when connected to other units.

• Remote controller (wireless kit) transmitting distance can be 

shorter than expected in rooms with electronic fluorescent 
lamps (inverter or rapid start types). Install the indoor unit far 
away from fluorescent lamps as much as possible.

• Indoor units are for indoor installation only. Outdoor units 

can be installed either outdoors or indoors.

• Do not install the air conditioner or heat pump in the 

following locations:
(a) Where a mineral oil mist or oil spray or vapor is produced, 

for example, in a kitchen. 
Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall off or result in water 
leakage.

(b) Where corrosive gas, such as sulfurous acid gas, is 

produced. 
Corroding copper pipes or soldered parts may result in 
refrigerant leakage.

(c) Near machinery emitting electromagnetic waves. 

Electromagnetic waves may disturb the operation of the 
control system and cause the unit to malfunction.

(d) Where flammable gas may leak, where there is carbon 

fiber, or ignitable dust suspension in the air, or where 
volatile flammables such as thinner or gasoline are 
handled. Operating the unit in such conditions can cause 
a fire.

• Take adequate measures to prevent the outdoor unit from 

being used as a shelter by small animals. Small animals 
making contact with electrical parts can cause malfunctions, 
smoke, or fire. Instruct the user to keep the area around the 
unit clean.

NOTE

• The indoor unit should be positioned where the unit and inter-

unit wires (outdoor to indoor) are at least 3.3ft (1m) away from 
any televisions or radios. (The unit may cause interference with 
the picture or sound.) Depending on the radio waves, a distance 
of 3.3ft (1m) may not be sufficient to eliminate the noise.

• Dismantling the unit, treatment of the refrigerant, oil and 

additional parts must be done in accordance with the 
relevant local, state, and national regulations.

• Do not use the following tools that are used with 

conventional refrigerants: gauge manifold, charge hose, gas 
leak detector, reverse flow check valve, refrigerant charge 
base, vacuum gauge, or refrigerant recovery equipment.

• If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil are mixed 

in R410A, the refrigerant may deteriorate.

• This air conditioner or heat pump is an appliance that should 

not be accessible to the general public.

• As design pressure is 604 psi, the wall thickness of field-

installed pipes should be selected in accordance with the 
relevant local, state, and national regulations.
