1. Safety precautions
►
Before installing the unit, make sure you read all the “Safety precautions”.
►
This equipment does not comply with the relevant technical standard
for the limitation of flicker and this may cause adverse effects on other
electrical appliances. Please provide an exclusive circuit for the air con-
dotioner and ensure, the max. impedance in this manual. Do not connect
other appliances to this circuit.
►
Please report to or take consent by the supply authority before connec-
tion to the system.
After installation work has been completed, explain the “Safety Precautions,” use,
and maintenance of the unit to the customer according to the information in the
Operation Manual and perform the test run to ensure normal operation. Both the
Installation Manual and Operation Manual must be given to the user for keeping.
These manuals must be passed on to subsequent users.
: Indicates a part which must be grounded.
Warning:
Carefully read the labels affixed to the main unit.
Warning:
• The unit must not be installed by the user. Ask a dealer or an authorized
technician to install the unit. If the unit is installed incorrectly, water leak-
age, electric shock, or fire may result.
•
For installation work, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and use
tools and pipe components specifically made for use with R410A refrigerant.
The R410A refrigerant in the HFC system is pressurized 1.6 times the pressure
of usual refrigerants. If pipe components not designed for R410A refrigerant are
used and the unit is not installed correctly, the pipes may burst and cause dam-
age or injuries. In addition, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
• The unit must be installed according to the instructions in order to mini
-
mize the risk of damage from earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An
incorrectly installed unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.
• The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its
weight. If the unit is mounted on an unstable structure, it may fall down
and cause damage or injuries.
• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken
to prevent the refrigerant concentration in the room from exceeding the
safety limit in the event of refrigerant leakage. Consult a dealer regarding
the appropriate measures to prevent the allowable concentration from be-
ing exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the concentration limit
to be exceeded, hazards due to lack of oxygen in the room may result.
• Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during operation. If refrigerant comes
into contact with a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
• All electric work must be performed by a qualified technician according to
local regulations and the instructions given in this manual. The units must
be powered by dedicated power lines and the correct voltage and circuit
breakers must be used. Power lines with insufficient capacity or incorrect
electrical work may result in electric shock or fire.
• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless
pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. If the pipes are not connected cor-
rectly, the unit will not be properly grounded and electric shock may result.
• Use only specified cables for wiring. The wiring connections must be made
securely with no tension applied on the terminal connections. Also, never
splice the cables for wiring (unless otherwise indicated in this document).
Failure to observe these instructions may result in overheating or a fire.
• The terminal block cover panel of the outdoor unit must be firmly attached.
If the cover panel is mounted incorrectly and dust and moisture enter the
unit, electric shock or fire may result.
• When installing or relocating, or servicing the air conditioner, use only the
specified refrigerant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it
with any other refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines.
If air is mixed with the refrigerant, then it can be the cause of abnormal
high pressure in the refrigerant line, and may result in an explosion and
other hazards.
The use of any refrigerant other than that specified for the system will cause
mechanical failure or system malfunction or unit breakdown. In the worst
case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.
• Use only accessories authorized by Mitsubishi Electric and ask a dealer
or an authorized technician to install them. If accessories are incorrectly
installed, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
•
Do not alter the unit. Consult a dealer for repairs. If alterations or repairs are
not performed correctly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
• The user should never attempt to repair the unit or transfer it to another
location. If the unit is installed incorrectly, water leakage, electric shock,
or fire may result. If the air conditioner must be repaired or moved, ask a
dealer or an authorized technician.
• After installation has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks. If refrig
-
erant leaks into the room and comes into contact with the flame of a heater
or portable cooking range, poisonous gases will be released.
1.1. Before installation
Caution:
• Do not use the unit in an unusual environment. If the air conditioner is
installed in areas exposed to steam, volatile oil (including machine oil), or
sulfuric gas, areas exposed to high salt content such as the seaside, or
areas where the unit will be covered by snow, the performance can be sig-
nificantly reduced and the internal parts can be damaged.
• Do not install the unit where combustible gases may leak, be produced,
flow, or accumulate. If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, fire
or explosion may result.
• The outdoor unit produces condensation during the heating operation.
Make sure to provide drainage around the outdoor unit if such condensa-
tion is likely to cause damage.
Warning:
Describes precautions that must be observed to prevent danger of injury or
death to the user.
Caution:
Describes precautions that must be observed to prevent damage to the unit.
• When installing the unit in a hospital or communications office, be pre
-
pared for noise and electronic interference. Inverters, home appliances,
high-frequency medical equipment, and radio communications equipment
can cause the air conditioner to malfunction or breakdown. The air con-
ditioner may also affect medical equipment, disturbing medical care, and
communications equipment, harming the screen display quality.
1.2. Before installation (relocation)
Caution:
• Be extremely careful when transporting or installing the units. 2 or more persons
are needed to handle the unit, as it weighs 20 kg or more. Do not grasp the pack
-
aging bands. Wear protective gloves to remove the unit from the packaging and
to move it, as you can injure your hands on the fins or the edge of other parts.
•
Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging materials. Packaging materials, such
as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause stabs or other injuries.
• The base and attachments of the outdoor unit must be periodically
checked for looseness, cracks or other damage. If such defects are left un-
corrected, the unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.
• Do not clean the air conditioner unit with water. Electric shock may result.
• Tighten all flare nuts to specification using a torque wrench. If tightened
too much, the flare nut can break after an extended period and refrigerant
can leak out.
Caution:
• Do not vent R410A into the atmosphere.
