INSTRUCTION SHEET

(PART No. 9378590014-07)

For authorized service personnel only.

 DANGER

This mark indicates procedures which, if improperly performed, are most likely to result in the death of 
or serious injury to the user or service personnel.

 WARNING

This mark indicates procedures which, if improperly performed, might lead to the death or serious injury 
of the user.

 CAUTION

This mark indicates procedures which, if improperly performed, might possibly result in personal harm 
to the user, or damage to property.

 DANGER

Never touch electrical components immediately after the power supply has been turned off. Electrical shock may occur. 
After turning off the power, always wait 5 minutes or more before touching electrical components.

This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).

The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant models. 
However, pay careful attention to the following points:

1

  Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant models, some of the piping and 

installation and service tools are special. (See the table below.) 

 

Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant model with a new refrigerant R410A model, always replace the 
conventional piping and 

fl

 are nuts with the R410A piping and 

fl

 are nuts.

2

  Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous charging with 

conventional refrigerant and for safety. Therefore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 
1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch.]

3

  Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than with refrigerant models. Also, when 

storing the piping, securely seal the openings by pinching, taping, etc.

4

  When charging the refrigerant, take into account the slight change in the composition of the gas and liquid phases, and 

always charge from the liquid phase side whose composition is stable.

Tool name

Contents of change

Gauge manifold

Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a conventional gauge. To prevent erroneous mixing of other 
refrigerants, the diameter of each port has been changed.
It is recommended the gauge with seals –0.1 to 5.3 MPa (–76 cmHg to 53 kgf/cm

2

) for high pressure. –0.1 to 

3.8 MPa (–76 cmHg to 38 kgf/cm

2

) for low pressure.

Charge hose

To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base size were changed.

Vacuum pump

A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a vacuum pump adapter.

Gas leakage detector

may break.

(5)  See the table 1 for the terminal screw tightening torques.

The pipes are shaped by your hands. Be careful not to collapse them.
Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90

°.

When pipes are repeatedly bend or stretched, the material will harden, 
making it dif

fi

 cult to bend or stretch them any more. Do not bend or 

stretch the pipes more than three times.

 CAUTION

1

  To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends.

 

Bend the pipe with a radius of curvature of 150 mm 
or over.

2

  If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the same place, it will 

break.

2. BENDING PIPES

To prevent gas leakage, coat the 

fl

 are 

surface with alkylbenzene oil (HAB).
Do not use mineral oil.

Copper pipes

It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable that the 
amount of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10 m. Do not use copper pipes 
having a collapsed, deformed or discolored portion (especially on the interior 
surface). Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may become 
blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when 
using conventional refrigerant, it is necessary to choose adequate materials. 
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A are as shown in the table. 
Never use copper pipes thinner than that in the table even when it is 
available on the market.
