Clean up the site when finished, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have 

been left inside the unit being installed.

After installation work for the system has been completed, explain the “Safety Precautions,” the proper use 

and maintenance of this unit to the customer according to the information in all manuals that came with the 

system. All manuals and warranty information must be given to the user or left near the indoor unit.

Refrigerant Precautions

 

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the following refrigerant 

precautions must be followed.

 

As originally manufactured, this unit contains refrigerant installed by Johnson Controls. Johnson 

Controls uses only refrigerants that have been approved for use in the unit’s intended home country 

or market. Johnson Controls' distributors similarly are only authorized to provide refrigerants that 

have been approved for use in the countries or markets they serve. The refrigerant used in this unit 

is identified on the unit’s faceplate and/or in the associated manuals. Any additions of refrigerant into 

this unit must comply with the country’s requirements with regard to refrigerant use and should be 

obtained from Johnson Controls' distributors. Use of any non-approved refrigerant substitutes will void 

the warranty and will increase the potential risk of injury or death.

 

If installed in a small room, take measures to prevent the refrigerant from exceeding the maximum 

allowable concentration in the event that refrigerant gases should escape. The installation should 

meet the requirements in ASHRAE Standards 15 and 34. If refrigerant gas has leaked during the 

installation work, ventilate the room immediately. 

 

Check the design pressure for this product is 601 psi (4.15MPa). The pressure of the refrigerant 

R410A is 1.4 times higher than that of the refrigerant R22. Therefore, the refrigerant piping for 

R410A shall be thicker than that for R22. Make sure to use the specified refrigerant piping. If not, the 

refrigerant piping may rupture due to an excessive refrigerant pressure. Besides, pay attention to 

the piping thickness when using copper refrigerant piping. The thickness of copper refrigerant piping 

differs depending on its material.

 

The refrigerant R410A is adopted. The refrigerant oil tends to be affected by foreign matters such 

as moisture, oxide film, (or fat). Perform the installation work with care to prevent moisture, dust, or 

different refrigerant from entering the refrigerant cycle. Foreign matter can be introduced into the cycle 

from such parts as expansion valve and the operation may be unavailable.

 

To avoid the possibility of different refrigerant or refrigerant oil being introduced into the cycle, the 

sizes of the charging connections have been changed from R407C type and R22 type. It is necessary 

to prepare the following tools listed in Section 3 before performing the installation work. Use 

refrigerant pipes and joints that are approved for use with R410A.

 

Before installation is complete, make sure that the refrigerant leak test has been performed. If 

refrigerant gases escape into the air, turn OFF the main switch, extinguish any open flames and 

contact your service contractor. Refrigerant (fluorocarbon) for this unit is odorless. If the refrigerant 

should leak and come into contact with open flames, toxic gas could be generated. Also, because the 

fluorocarbons are heavier than air, they settle to the floor, which could cause asphyxiation.

 

When installing the unit, and connecting refrigerant piping, keep all piping runs as short as possible, 

and make sure to securely connect the refrigerant piping before the compressor starts operating. If 

the refrigerant piping is not connected, and the compressor activates with the stop valve opened, the 

refrigerant system is subjected to extremely high pressure, which can cause an explosion or fire. 

 

Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner. Do not apply excessive force to the 

flare nut when tightening. If you do, the flare nut can crack and refrigerant leakage may occur.
