8.5 Indoor Unit Drain Piping
• Drain piping must have down-slope (1/50 to 1/100): be sure
not to provide up-and-down slope to prevent reversal flow.
• During drain piping connection, be careful not to exert extra
force on the drain port on the indoor unit.
• The outside diameter of the drain connection on the indoor
unit is 32mm.
• Be sure to install heat insulation on the drain piping.
Piping material: Polyvinyl chloride pipe VP-25
and pipe fittings
The air conditioner uses a drain pump to drain water.
Use the following procedure to test the drain pump operation:
• Connect the main drain pipe to the exterior
and leave it provisionally until the test
comes to an end.
• Feed water to the flexible drain hose and
check the piping for leakage.
• Be sure to check the drain pump for normal
operating and noise when electrical wiring
is complete.
• When the test is complete, connect the
flexible drain hose to the drain port on the
indoor unit.
Heat insulation material: Polyethylene foam with
thickness more than 8 mm.

neither screwed. The curved or screwed hose may
cause a leakage of water.

After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring, be guided by the
circuit diagram pasted on the inside of control box cover.
2) Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.
3) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from vibrations to which the
unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they
are loose, it could give rise to burn-out of the wires.)
4) Specification of power source
5) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
6) Be sure that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage marked on the name plate.
7) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)
8) Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.
9) The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.
• Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of, fuse breaking, disturbance to the normal function of a
overload protection device.
• Proper starting power is not given to the compressor.
