PROCEDURE
6. Mounting the Branch Box
(mm) (1) Install the suspension bolts (procure locally) at the specified pitch (Fig. 4-2, 4-3).
(2) Fit the washers and nuts ( , , procure locally) to the suspension bolts.
(Fig. 6-1)
(3) Hang the unit on the suspension bolts.
(4) Fully tighten the nuts (check ceiling height).
(5) Use a level to adjust the branch box to the horizontal.
When unit is hung and nuts tightened.

7. Installing refrigerant piping
Connect the liquid and gas pipes of each indoor unit to the same end con-
nection numbers as indicated on the indoor unit flare connection section of
each Branch Box. If connected to wrong end connection numbers, it doesn’t
work normally. (Fig. 7-1)
When connecting indoor units, make sure to connect refrigerant pipes and
connection wires to the appropriate connection ports marked with match-
ing alphabets. (Ex. A, B, C, D, E)
Note:
Be sure to mark all the local refrigerant piping (liquid pipes, gas pipes, etc.) for
each indoor unit designating clearly which room it belongs in. (Ex. A, B, C, D, E)
List indoor unit model names in the name plate on the control box of Branch
Box (for identification purposes).
To prevent water dripping from the refrigerant piping, install sufficient ther-
mal insulation.
When using commercially available refrigerant piping, ensure that both liq-
uid and gas piping are wrapped with commercially available thermal insula-
tion materials (insulation materials at least 12 mm thick and able to with-
stand temperatures in excess of 100 °C).
Refer to the installation manual of the outdoor unit when creating a vacuum
and opening or closing valves.
(1) Remove the flared nuts and caps from the branch box.
(2) Flare the ends of the liquid and gas piping, and apply refrigeration oil (procure
locally) to the flared seat.
(3) Connect the refrigerant piping immediately. Always tighten the flared nuts to the
torque specified in the table below using a torque wrench and double spanner.
(4) Press the pipe covers and on the liquid piping against the unit and wrap to
hold in place.
(5) Press the pipe covers and on the gas piping against the unit and wrap to
hold in place.
(6) Apply the supplied bands at a position 10 - 20 mm from each end of the pipe
covers ( ).
(7) If the indoor unit is not connected, fit the supplied pipe covers (with caps, and
) to the branch box refrigerant piping connections to prevent condensation drip-
ping from the pipes.
(8) Clamp the pipe covers ( ) in place with the supplied bands .
