INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Install the room air conditioner as follows:

Floor Console/Under Ceiling Dual Type

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
SHEET

(PART NO. 9373244011-03)

 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.

This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).

The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:

(1) Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant (R22) models, some of the piping and

installation and service tools are special. (See the table below.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant (R22) model with a new refrigerant R410A model, always replace the
conventional piping and flare nuts with the R410A piping and flare nuts.

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

conventional refrigerant (R22) 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 (R22) 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.

Special tools for R410A

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
R22, it is necessary to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A are as shown in Table 1. Never
use copper pipes thinner than 0.8 mm (Nominal diameter is 1/4 in., 1/2 in.),
even when it is available on the market.

For authorized service personnel only.

 WARNING

(1) For the room air conditioner to operate satisfactorily, install it as outlined in this installation instruction sheet.

(2) Connect the indoor unit and outdoor unit with the room air conditioner piping and cables available standards parts. This

installation instruction sheet describes the correct connections using the installation set available from our standard parts.

(3) Installation work must be performed in accordance with national wiring standards by authorized personnel only.

(4) If refrigerant leaks while work is being carried out, ventilate the area. If the refrigerant comes in contact with a flame, it

produces a toxic gas.

(5) Do not use an extension cable.

(6) Do not turn on the power until all installation work is complete.

•••••

Be careful not to scratch the room air conditioner when handling it.

•••••

After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using the operating manual.

•••••

Let the customer keep this installation instruction sheet because it is used when the air conditioner is serviced or moved.

SELECTING THE MOUNTING POSITION

 WARNING

Install at a place that can withstand the weight of the indoor and outdoor units and install positively so that the units will not
topple or fall.

 CAUTION

(1) Do not install where there is the danger of combustible gas leakage.

(2) Do not install near heat sources.

(3) If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that they cannot reach the unit.

Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:

Refrigerant

R410A

Contents of change

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.

To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base size were changed.
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a vacuum pump adapter.

OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION

1. OUTDOOR UNIT PROCESSING

 WARNING

(1) Install the unit where it will not be tilted by more than 5˚.

(2) When installing the outdoor unit where it may exposed

to strong wind, fasten it securely.

Set the unit on a strong stand, such as one made of concrete blocks to
minimize shock and vibration.

Do not set the unit directly on the ground because it will cause trouble.

Since the drain water flows out of the outdoor unit during heating op-
eration, install the drain pipe and connect it to an commercial 16 mm
hose. (Heat & Cool model (Reverse cycle) only)

When installing the drain pipe, plug all the holes (• hole at one place)
other than the drain pipe mounting hole in the bottom of the outdoor
unit with putty so there is no water leakage. (Fig. 22) (Heat & Cool model
(Reverse cycle) only)

 CAUTION

Installation in cold regions. Do not use the accessory drain
pipe and drain cap.
(If the drain pipe and drain cap are used, the drain water in
the pipe may freeze in extremely cold weather.)

CONNECTING THE  PIPING

 WARNING

Do not use the existing (for R22) piping and flare nuts.

If the existing materials are used, the pressure inside the
refrigerant cycle will rise and cause breakage, injury, etc.
(Use the special R410A materials.)

 CAUTION

(1) Do not use mineral oil on flared part.

Prevent mineral oil from getting into the system as this
would reduce the lifetime of the units.

(2) Never use piping which has been used for previous

installations. Only use parts which are delivered with
the unit.

(3) While welding the pipes, be sure to blow dry nitrogen

gas through them.

 CAUTION

The maximum lengths of this product are shown in table 3.
If the units are further apart than this, correct operation
can not be guaranteed.

2. FLARING PROCESSING

(1) Cut the connection pipe to the necessary length with a pipe cutter.
(2) Hold the pipe downward so that cuttings will not enter the pipe and

remove the burrs.

(3) Insert the flare nut (always use the flare nut attached to the indoor

and outdoor units respectively) onto the pipe and perform the flare
processing with a flare tool.
Use the special R410A flare tool, or the conventional (for R22) flare
tool.
When using the conventional flare tool, always use an allowance ad-
justment gauge and secure the A dimension shown in table 4.
