▪ Make sure the area is well ventilated. Do NOT block any
ventilation openings.
▪ Make sure the unit is level.
Do NOT install the unit in the following places:
▪ In potentially explosive atmospheres.
▪ In places where there is machinery that emits electromagnetic
waves. Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system,
and cause malfunction of the equipment.
▪ In places where there is a risk of fire due to the leakage of
flammable gases (example: thinner or gasoline), carbon fibre,
ignitable dust.
▪ In places where corrosive gas (example: sulphurous acid gas) is
produced. Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause
the refrigerant to leak.
Instructions for equipment using R32 refrigerant
WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The refrigerant inside this unit is mildly flammable.
WARNING
▪ Do NOT pierce or burn.
▪ Do NOT use means to accelerate the defrosting
process or to clean the equipment, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that R32 refrigerant does NOT contain an
odour.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical
damage and in a well-ventilated room without continuously
operating ignition sources (example: open flames, an
operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater)
and have a room size as specified below.
WARNING
Make sure installation, servicing, maintenance and repair
comply with instructions from Daikin and with applicable
legislation (for example national gas regulation) and are
executed only by authorised persons.
WARNING
If one or more rooms are connected to the unit using a
duct system, make sure:
▪ there are no operating ignition sources (example: open
flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating
electric heater) in case the floor area is less than the
minimum floor area A (m²).
▪ no auxiliary devices, which may be a potential ignition
source, are installed in the duct work (example: hot
surfaces with a temperature exceeding 700°C and
electric switching device);
▪ only auxiliary devices approved by the manufacturer
are used in the duct work;
▪ air inlet AND outlet are connected directly to the same
room by ducting. Do NOT use spaces such as a false
ceiling as a duct for the air inlet or outlet.
NOTICE
▪ Precautions shall be taken to avoid excessive vibration
or pulsation to refrigeration piping.
▪ Protection devices, piping and fittings shall be
protected as far as possible against adverse
environmental effects.
▪ Provision shall be made for expansion and contraction
of long runs of piping.
▪ Piping in refrigerating systems shall be designed and
installed such as to minimise the likelihood of hydraulic
shock damaging the system.
▪ The indoor equipment and pipes shall be securely
mounted and guarded such that accidental rupture of
equipment or pipes cannot occur from events such as
moving furniture or reconstruction activities.
CAUTION
Do NOT use potential sources of ignition in searching for
or detection of refrigerant leaks.
NOTICE
▪ Do NOT re-use joints which have been used already.
▪ Joints made in installation between parts of refrigerant
system shall be accessible for maintenance purposes.
Installation space requirements
WARNING
If appliances contain R32 refrigerant, the floor area of the
room in which the appliances are installed, operated and
stored MUST be larger than the minimum floor area
defined in table below A (m
2
). This applies to:
▪ Indoor units
without
a refrigerant leakage sensor; in
case of indoor units
with
refrigerant leakage sensor,
consult the installation manual
▪ Outdoor units installed or stored indoors (e.g. winter
garden, garage, machinery room)
▪ Pipework in unventilated spaces
NOTICE
▪ Pipework shall be protected from physical damage.
▪ Installation of pipework shall be kept to a minimum.
To determine the minimum floor area
1
Determine the total refrigerant charge in the system (= factory
refrigerant charge
+
additional refrigerant amount
charged).

Determine which graph or table to use.
▪ For indoor units: Is the unit ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted or
floor-standing?
▪ For outdoor units installed or stored indoors, and field piping
in unventilated spaces, this depends on the installation
height:
If the installation height is…
Then use the graph or table for…
