■
Cutting out the two slits makes it possible to install as shown in
the
figure "Field pipes in four directions"
.
(Use a metal saw to cut out the slits.)
■
To install the connecting pipe to the unit in a downward direction,
make a knockout hole by penetrating the center area around the
knockout hole using a
Ø
6 mm drill. (See
figure "Field pipes in
four directions"
.)
■
After knocking out the knock-out, it is recommended to apply
repair paint to the edge and the surrounding end surfaces to
prevent rusting.
Preventing foreign objects from entering
Plug the pipe through-holes with putty or insulating material
(procured locally) to stop up all gaps, as shown in the figure.
Insects or small animals entering the outdoor unit may cause a short
circuit in the electrical box.
Cautions for handling stop valve
■
The stop valves for indoor-outdoor connecting piping are closed
at shipment from the factory.
The names of parts of the stop valve are shown in the figure.
■
Since the side boards may be deformed if only a torque wrench
is used when loosening or tightening flare nuts, always lock the
shut-off valve with a wrench and then use a torque wrench.
Do not place wrenches on the valve cover.
Applying an excessive torque may distort the interior stop valve
surface causing gas to leak inside the valve and causing the
flare nut to crack eventually.
Do not apply force on the valve cover, this may result in a
refrigerant leak.
■
For cooling operation under low ambient temperature or any
other operation under low pressure, apply silicon pad or similar
to prevent freezing of the gas stop valve flare nut (see figure).
Freezing of the flare nut may cause refrigerant leak.
How to use the shut-off valve
Use hexagonal wrenches 4 mm and 6 mm.
■
Opening the valve
1.
Place the hex wrench on the valve bar and turn counter-
clockwise.
2.
Stop when the valve bar no longer turns. It is now open.
■
Closing the valve
1.
Place the hex wrench on the valve bar and turn clockwise.
2.
Stop when the valve bar no longer turns. It is now closed.
Cautions for handling the valve cover
■
The valve cover is sealed where indicated by the arrow.
Refer to the figure.
Take care not to damage it.
■
After operating the valve, be sure to tighten the valve cover
properly.
■
Check for refrigerant leakage after tightening the cap.
Cautions for handling service port
■
Always use a flexible charge hose with a push-rod and valve to
enable recovery of remaining refrigerant in the charge hose.
■
After the work, tighten the valve cover in place.
Tightening torque: 10.8~14.7 N•m
Precautions when connecting field piping and regarding
insulation
■
Be careful not to let the indoor and outdoor branch piping come
into contact with the compressor terminal cover.
If the liquid-side piping insulation might come into contact with it,
adjust the height as shown in the figure below. Also, make sure
the field piping does not touch the bolts or outer panels of the
compressor.
