Specific installer safety
instructions
Always observe the following safety instructions and regulations.
7])
WARNING
Installation shall be done by an installer, the choice of
materials and installation shall comply with the applicable
legislation. In Europe, EN378 is the applicable standard.
Installation site (see
"4.1 Preparing the installation site"
CAUTION
▪ Check if the installation location can support the unit's
weight. Poor installation is hazardous. It can also cause
vibrations or unusual operating noise.
▪ Provide sufficient service space.
▪ Do NOT install the unit so that it is in contact with a
ceiling or a wall, as this may cause vibrations.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical
damage and in a well-ventilated room without continuously
operating ignition sources (e.g. open flames, an operating
gas appliance, or an operating electric heater). The room
size shall be as specified in the General safety precaution.
Piping installation (see
8])
CAUTION
Piping and joints of a split system shall be made with
permanent joints when inside an occupied space except
joints directly connecting the piping to the indoor units.
CAUTION
▪ No brazing or welding on site for units with R32
refrigerant charge during shipment.
▪ During installation of the refrigeration system, joining of
parts with at least one part charged shall be performed
taking into account the following requirements: inside
occupied spaces non-permanent joints are NOT
allowed for R32 refrigerant except for site made joints
directly connecting the indoor unit to piping. Site made
joints directly connecting piping to indoor units shall be
of non-permanent type.
WARNING
Connect the refrigerant piping securely before running the
compressor. If the refrigerant piping is NOT connected and
the stop valve is open when the compressor is run, air will
be sucked in. This will cause abnormal pressure in the
refrigeration cycle, which may result in equipment damage
and even injury.
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.
CAUTION
Do NOT open the valves before flaring is complete. This
would cause refrigerant gas leakage.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Do NOT open the stop valves before the vacuum drying is
finished.
Charging refrigerant (see
9])
WARNING
▪ The refrigerant inside the unit is mildly flammable, but
normally does NOT leak. If the refrigerant leaks in the
room and comes in contact with fire from a burner, a
heater, or a cooker, this may result in fire, or the
formation of a harmful gas.
▪ Turn OFF any combustible heating devices, ventilate
the room, and contact the dealer where you purchased
the unit.
▪ Do NOT use the unit until a service person confirms
that the part from which the refrigerant leaked has been
repaired.
WARNING
▪ Only use R32 as refrigerant. Other substances may
cause explosions and accidents.
▪ R32 contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Its global
warming potential (GWP) value is 675. Do NOT vent
these gases into the atmosphere.
▪ When charging refrigerant, ALWAYS use protective
gloves and safety glasses.
WARNING
NEVER directly touch any accidental leaking refrigerant.
This could result in severe wounds caused by frostbite.
Electrical installation (see
WARNING
The appliance MUST be installed in accordance with
national wiring regulations.
WARNING
▪ All wiring MUST be performed by an authorised
electrician and MUST comply with the national wiring
regulation.
▪ Make electrical connections to the fixed wiring.
▪ All components procured on-site and all electrical
construction MUST comply with the applicable
legislation.
WARNING
▪ If the power supply has a missing or wrong N-phase,
equipment might break down.
▪ Establish proper earthing. Do NOT earth the unit to a
utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earthing may cause electrical shocks.
▪ Install the required fuses or circuit breakers.
▪ Secure the electrical wiring with cable ties so that the
cables do NOT come in contact with sharp edges or
piping, particularly on the high-pressure side.
▪ Do NOT use taped wires, extension cords, or
connections from a star system. They can cause
overheating, electrical shocks or fire.
▪ Do NOT install a phase advancing capacitor, because
this unit is equipped with an inverter. A phase
advancing capacitor will reduce performance and may
cause accidents.
