1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1. IMPORTANT! Please read before starting
This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operating standards.
As the installer or service person, it is an important part of your job to install or service the
system so it operates safely and ef
fi
ciently.
For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must:
• Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.
• Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.
• Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
• Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices given in this manual.
WARNING:
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in
severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION:
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in
personal injury and the potential for product or property damage.
• Hazard alerting symbols

If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation sites and maintenance conditions.
If you require help for a special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or your certi
fi
ed
dealer for additional instructions.
In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation or maintenance
service, including failure to follow the instructions in this document.
1.2. Special precautions
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A
QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected
and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wir-
ing diagram and these instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate
earthing (grounding) can cause accidental injury or death.
• Earth (Ground) the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points
and a possible
fi
re hazard.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to
help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin
aluminum
fi
ns on the air conditioner can cut your
fi
ngers.
When Installing...
...In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. It may be necessary
to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support
.
...In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent “sweating” that can cause drip-
ping and water damage to walls and
fl
oors.
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the
outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.
...In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame.
Provide a suitable air baf
fl
e.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use
the
fl
are method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the
fl
are and union tubes before
connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before opening the refrigerant valves.
NOTE:
Depending on the system type, liquid and gas lines may be either narrow or wide. There-
fore, to avoid confusion the refrigerant tubing for your particular model is speci
fi
ed as
either “small” or “large” rather than as “liquid” or “gas”.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main circuit breaker panel before opening the unit to check
or repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep
your
fi
ngers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you
fi
nish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of
wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced.
• After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using the operating manual.
WARNING
To avoid getting an electric shock, never touch the electrical components soon after the
power supply has been turned off. After turning off the power, always wait 10 minutes or
more before you touch the electrical components.
Installation of this product must be done by experienced service technicians or
professional installers only in accordance with this manual. Installation by non-
professional or improper installation of the product might cause serious accidents such
as injury, water leakage, electric shock, or
fi
re. If the product is installed in disregard of
the instructions in this manual, it will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not turn on the power until all work has been completed. Turning on the power before
the work is completed can cause serious accidents such as an electric shock or a
fi
re.
If refrigerant leaks when you are working, ventilate the area. If the leaking refrigerant is
exposed to a direct
fl
ame, it may produce a toxic gas.
Installation must be performed in accordance with regulations, codes, or standards for
electrical wiring and equipment in each country, region, or the installation place.
Do not use this equipment with air or any other unspeci
fi
ed refrigerant in the refrigerant
lines. Excess pressure can cause a rupture.
During installation, make sure that the refrigerant pipe is attached
fi
rmly before you
run the compressor. Do not operate the compressor under the condition of refrigerant
piping not attached properly with 2-way or 3-way valve open. This may cause abnormal
pressure in the refrigeration cycle that leads to rupture and even injury.
When installing or relocating the air conditioner, do not mix gases other than the
speci
fi
ed refrigerant (R410A) to enter the refrigerant cycle.
If air or other gas enters the refrigerant cycle, the pressure inside the cycle will rise to
an abnormally high value and cause rupture, injury, etc.
For appropriate working of the air conditioner, install it as written in this manual.
To connect indoor unit and outdoor unit, or indoor unit and branch box, use air
conditioner piping and cables available through your local distributor. This manual
describes proper connections using such installation set.
Do not modify power cable, use extension cable or branch wiring. Improper use may
cause electric shock or
fi
re by poor connection, insuf
fi
cient insulation or over current.
Do not purge the air with refrigerants but use a vacuum pump to vacuum the installation.
There is no extra refrigerant in the outdoor unit for air purging.
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources
(for example: open
fl
ames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater.
Do not pierce or burn.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an outdoor.
Using the same vacuum pump for different refrigerants may damage the vacuum pump
or the unit.
Use a clean gauge manifold, vacuum pump and charging hose for R410A exclusively.
