Pipe bending guidelines
Use a pipe bender for bending. All pipe bends should be as gentle
as possible (bending radius should be 30~40 mm or larger).
6.4.5
To flare the pipe end
CAUTION
▪ Incomplete flaring may cause refrigerant gas leakage.
▪ Do NOT re-use flares. Use new flares to prevent
refrigerant gas leakage.
▪ Use flare nuts that are included with the unit. Using
different flare nuts may cause refrigerant gas leakage.
1
Cut the pipe end with a pipe cutter.
2
Remove burrs with the cut surface facing down so that the
chips do NOT enter the pipe.

Connecting the electrical wiring
6.5.1
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.
6.5.2
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.
WARNING
Do NOT connect the power supply to the indoor unit. This
could result in electrical shock or fire.
WARNING
▪ Do NOT use locally purchased electrical parts inside
the product.
▪ Do NOT branch the power supply for the drain pump,
etc. from the terminal block. This could result in
electrical shock or fire.
