THE CHOICE OF MOUNTING SITE 

(Please note the following matters and obtain permission from customer before installation).

WARNING

!

O

 

The unit should be mounted at stable, non-vibratory location which can 
provide full support to the unit.

WARNING

!

O

 

The Outdoor unit must be mounted at a location which can support heavy weight. 
Otherwise, noise and vibration will increase.

!

O

No nearby heat source and no obstruction near the air outlet is allowed.

O

  The clearance distances from top, right and left are speci ed in  gure below.

O

  The location must be convenient for water drainage and pipe connection with 

the Outdoor unit.

O

  To avoid interference from noise please place the unit and its remote controller 

at least 1m from the radio, television and inverter type  uorescent  lamp.

O

  To avoid any error in signal transmission from the remote controller, please put 

the controller far away from high-frequency machines and high-power wireless 
systems.

O

  The installation height of indoor unit must be 2.3m or more.

CAUTION

!

O

  Do not expose the unit under direct sunshine or rain. Besides, ventilation must be 

good and clear of obstruction.

O

  The air blown out of the unit should not point directly to animals or plants.

O

 The clearances of the unit from top, left, right and front are speci ed in  gure 

below. At least 3 of the above sides must be open air.

O

 Be sure that the hot air blown out of the unit and noise do not disturb the 

neighbourhood.

O

  Do not install at a location where there is  ammable gas, steam, oil and smoke.

O

  The location must be convenient for water drainage.

O

  Place the Outdoor unit and its connecting cord at least 1m away from the antenna

Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.

O

  The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.

WARNING ........ Incorrect methods of installation may cause death or serious injury.

CAUTION ......... Improper installation may result in serious consequence.

Be sure that the unit operates in proper condition after installation. Explain to customer the proper way of operating the unit as 
described in the user’s guide.

WARNING

O

 

Please request your sales agent or quali ed technician ti install your unit. Water leakage, sort circuit or  re may occur if you do the 
installtion work yourself.

O

 

Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may cause 
water leakage, electric shock and  re.

O

 

Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not, the units 
may collapse and impose danger.

O

 

Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installtion and the methods described in the installation manual when dealing 
with the electrical work. Use power cables approved by the authorities of your country.

O

 

Be sure to use speci ed wire for the connection indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight after the 
conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating and  re.

O

 

Please use the speci ed components for installtion work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakege, electric shock and 
 re may occur.

O

 

Be sure to use the speci ed piping set for R-22. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.

O

 

When installing or removing an air conditioner, only speci ed refrigerant (R-22) shall be allowed, do not allow air or moisture to 
remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a rupture may 
be caused.

O

 

Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with  re, a poisonous gas 
may occur.

O

 

After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into 
the room, coming into contact with  re in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonuos gas may occur.

O

 

Unauthorized modi cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a quali ed air conditoner 
technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and  re,  etc.

O

 

A circuit breaker or fuse (20A time delay) must be installed. Without a circuit breaker or fuse the danger of electric shock exists.
A main switch with a contact gap of more than 3.5mm has to be installed in the power supply line to the outdoor unit.

O

 

Piping shall be suitable supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.

O

 

Do not install the unit near a location where there is  ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch  re if 
 ammable gas leaks around it.

O

 

For installation of front panel RAI-ZCPM, please follow exactly the instruction in the manual.

O

 

Please ensure smooth  ow of water when installing the drain hose.

CAUTION

CAUTION

The installtion 
height of indoor 
unit must be 2.3m 
or more.

In case the pipe lenght is more than 5m, add refrigerant 
R22 at 35 gram per every meter exceeds. However, 
pipe lenght shall not exceed 50m.

Be sure to 
completely 
seal any 
gap with 
putty. 

The indoor piping should be 
insulated with the enclosed 
insulation pipe. (If the 
insulator is insuf cient, please 
use commercial products).

O

  The difference in 

height between the 
indoor and outdoor 
unit should be kept 
below 30m.

O

  The connecting 

pipe, no matter big 
or small, should 
all be insulated 
with insulation pipe 
and then wrapped 
with vinyl tape. 
(The insulator will 
deteriorate if it is 
not wrapped with 
tape).

Drain Pipe 
Must be installed 
seperately. 
Insulate indoor part 
of pipe to prevent 
condensation.

CAUTION

O

Check the level of the drain pan using a water level to avoid incorrect opera-

tion of the drain discharge mechanism in the indoor unit. The drain piping 
side of the indoor unit must be approximately 5mm lower than the other part. 

O

Tighten the nuts of the suspension brackets after the adjustment is completed. 

Apply LOCK-TIGHT paint* to the bolts and nuts in order to prevent them 
from loosening. If not done, abnormal noises or sounds may occur and the 
indoor unit may fall down.

LOCK-TIGHT paint*: Paint the lock bolts and nuts. Adjust the indoor unit to the                
correct position while checking with the checking scales (factory-supplied).
