Removal Of Air From The Pipe And Gas Leakage Inspection

Gas Leakage Inspection

Please use gas leakage detector 
to check if leakage occurs at the 
connection of Flare nut as shown 
on the right.

If gas leakage occurs, further tighten 
the connection to stop leakage. (Use 
the detector provided for R410A)

Insulation And Maintenance Of Pipe Connection

1

 The connected terminals should be completed sealed with 

heat insulator and then tied up with rubber strap.

 Please tie the pipe and power line together with vinyl tape 

as shown in the 

fi

 gure showing the installation of Indoor and 

Outdoor units. Then 

fi

 x their position with holders.

 To enchance the heat insulation and to prevent water 

condensation, please cover the outdoor part of the drain hose 
and pipe with insulation pipe.

 If room humidity is high, cover the connecting pipe with 

additional 5mm thickness insulator. This insulator shall be 
purchased from 

fi

 eld.

 Completely seal any gap with putty.

  Installation Of Remote Controller

2

  Power Source And Operation Test

3

 The remote controller can be placed in its holder which is 

fi

 xed on wall or beam.

 To operate the remote controller at its holder, please ensure 

that the unit can receive signal transmitted from the controller 
at the place where the holder is to be 

fi

 xed. The unit will beep 

when signal is received from the remote controller. The signal 
transmission is weaken by the 

fl

 orescent  light.  Therefore, 

during the installation of the remote control holder, please 
switch on the light, even during day time, to determine the 
mounting location of the holder.

Power Source

CAUTION

!

 Please make sure, that the power voltage is 220V-240V 

within the operation voltage of the unit.

 Please take under consideration, that the power capacity 

from your house distribution box is high enough for operating 
your room air conditioner.

Operation Test

  Please ensure that the air conditioner is in normal operating 

condition during the operation test.

 Explain to your customer the proper operation procedures 

as described in the user’s manual.

Procedures of using Vacuum Pump for Air Removal

   Preparation of Pipe

1

 Use a pipe cutter to cut the copper pipe.

 Jagged edge will cause leakage.

 Point the side to be trimmed downwards during trimming to 

prevent copper chips from entering the pipe.

 Before 

fl

 aring, please insert the 

fl

 are nut into the pipe.

CAUTION

!

In case of removing Flare nut of a indoor unit, 

fi

 rst remove a nut of small diameter side, or a 

seal cap of big diameter side will 

fl

 Please be careful when bending the copper pipe.

 Applied frozen grease to the connection points and then screw in 

manually. After that, use a torque wrench to tighten the connection.

WARNING

!

Power supply shall be connected at the rated voltage, otherwise the unit will be 
broken or could not reach the speci

  Carefully read through the procedures of proper installation 

before starting installation work.

Checking for the electric 
source and the voltage range

 Before installation, the power source must be checked 

and necessary wiring work must be completed. To make 
the wiring capacity proper, use the wire gauge list below 
for the wiring from a switch board of fuse box to the 
outdoor unit in consideration of the locked rotor current.

IMPORTANT

Cable length

up to 

1

25m

Wire cross-section

1.5mm

2

 The naked part of the wire core should be 10 mm and 

fi

 x it to the terminal 

tightly. Then try to pull the individual wire to check if the contact is tight. 
Improper insertion may burn the terminal.

 Be sure to use only power cables approved from the authorities in your 

country. For example in Germany: Cable type: NYM 4 x 1.5mm

2

.

 Please refer to the installation manual for wire connection to the terminals 

of the units. The cabling must meet the standards of electrical installation.

  There is a AC voltage of 220-240V between the 1 and 2 terminals. Therefore, 

before servicing, be sure to remove the plug from the AC outlet or switch 
off the main switch.
