GENERAL

This INSTALLATION MANUAL briefly outlines where
and how to install the air conditioning system. Please
read over the entire set of instructions for the indoor
and outdoor units and make sure all accessory parts
listed are with the system before beginning.

1. TYPE OF COPPER PIPE AND INSULATION MATERIAL

Copper tubing for connectin the outdoor unit to the indoor
unit and insulation material is available for purchase locally.
When you purchase them, please specify the following.

A. Deoxidized annealed copper pipe for refrigerant piping as:

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT

Always make the air conditioner power supply a special branch cir-
cuit and provide a special switch and receptacle. Do not extend the
power cord.

The following items are necessary to install this air conditioner. (The
items are not included with the air conditioner and must be purchased
separately.)

 CAUTION

MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY

16 A

MAXIMUM OVERCURRENT PROTECTION

20 A

(TIME DELAY FUSE OR HACR TYPE CIRCUIT BREAKER)

ADDITIONAL CHARGE

Refrigerant suitable for a piping length of 49 ft (15 m) is charged in
the outdoor unit at the factory.
When the piping is longer than 49 ft (15 m), additional charging is necessary.
For the additional amount, see the table below.

Between 49 ft (15 m) and 66 ft (20 m), when using a connection pipe
other than that in the table, charge additional refrigerant with 0.2 oz/
ft (20g/1 m) as the criteria.

2. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS REQUIRED FOR  INSTALLATION

A. Refrigeration (armored) tape
B. Insulated staples or clamps for connecting wire

(See your local electrical codes.)

C. Putty
D. Refrigeration lubricant
E. Clamps or saddles to secure refrigerant piping

CAUTION

(1) When adding refrigerant, add the refrigerant from

the charging port at the completion of work.

(2) The maximum length of the piping is 66 ft (20 m).

If the units are further apart than this, correct
operation can not be guaranteed.

Cut each pipe to the appropriate 12” (30 cm)
to16” (40 cm) to dampen vibration between units.

B. Foamed polyethylene insulation for copper pipes as

required to precise length of piping. Wall thickness
of the insulation should not be less than 5/16” (8 mm).

C. Use insulated copper wire for field wiring.

     CAUTION

Check local electrical codes and regulations
before obtaining wire. Also, check any specified
instructions or limitations.
