Formula to calculate additional charge volume
※
If you obtain a negative figure as a result of calculation, no additional refrigerant needs to be charged.
Example) When an 60 is installed in a 10m long existing pipe system (liquid
φ
9.52, gas
φ
12.7),
the quantity of refrigerant to charge additionally should be (10m-5m) x 0.06kg/m = 0.3 kg.
7) Additional refrigerant charge
Additional charge volume (kg) = { Main length (m) – Factory charged volume 15 (m) } x 0.02 (kg/m)
*When an additional charge volume calculation result is negative,
it is not necessary to charge refrigerant additionally.
8) Heating and condensation prevention
(1) Dress refrigerant pipes (both gas and liquid pipes) for heat insulation and prevention of dew condensation.
･
Improper heat insulation/anti-dew dressing can result in a water leak or dripping causing damage to household effects, etc.
(2) Use a heat insulating material that can withstand 120 ℃ or a higher temperature. Poor heat insulating capacity can cause heat insulation problems or cable
deterioration.
･
All gas pipes must be securely heat insulated in order to prevent damage from dripping water that comes from the condensation formed on them during a cooling operation
or personal injury from burns because their surface can reach quite a high temperature due to discharged gas flowing inside during a heating operation.
･
Wrap indoor units’ flare joints with heat insulating parts (pipe cover) for heat insulation (both gas and liquid pipes).
･
Give heat insulation to both gas and liquid side pipes. Bundle a heat insulating material and a pipe tightly together so that no gaps may be left between them and wrap them
together with a connecting cable by a dressing tape.
･
Both gas and liquid pipes need to be dressed with 20 mm or thicker heat insulation materials above the ceiling where relative humidity exceeds 70%.

4) On-site piping work
IMPORTANT
How to remove the side cover
● Carry out the on site piping work with the operation valve fully closed.
●
Give sufficient protection to a pipe end (compressed and blazed, or with an adhesive tape) so
that water or foreign matters may not enter the piping.
●
Bend a pipe to a radius as large as practical.(R100~R150) Do not bend a pipe repeatedly to correct
its form.
● Flare connection is used between the unit and refrigerant pipe. Flare a pipe after engaging a
flare nut onto it. Flare dimensions for R410A are different from those for conventional R407C.
Although we recommend the use of flaring tools designed specifically for R410A, conventional
flaring tools can also be used by adjusting the measurement of protrusion B with a protrusion
control gauge.
● Tighten a flare joint securely with a double spanner.
Please remove the screw of a side cover and remove to the front.

5) Air tightness test
①
Although outdoor and indoor units themselves have been tested for air tightness at the factory, check the connecting pipes after the installation work for air tightness from the
operation valve’s check joint equipped on the outdoor unit side. While conducting a test, keep the operation valve shut all the time.
a) Raise the pressure to 0.5 MPa, and then stop. Leave it for five minutes to see if the pressure drops.
b) Then raise the pressure to 1.5 MPa, and stop. Leave it for five more minutes to see if the pressure drops.
c) Then raise the pressure to the specified level (4.15 MPa), and record the ambient temperature and the pressure.
d) If no pressure drop is observed with an installation pressurized to the specified level and left for about one day, it is acceptable. When the ambient Temperature fall 1
℃
, the pressure
also fall approximately 0.01 MPa. The pressure, if changed, should be compensated for.
e) If a pressure drop is observed in checking e) and a) – d), a leak exists somewhere. Find a leak by applying bubble test liquid to welded parts and flare joints and repair it. After
repair, conduct an air-tightness test again.
② In conducting an air-tightness test, use nitrogen gas and pressurize the system with nitrogen gas from the gas side. Do not use a medium other than nitrogen gas under any circumstances.

(2) Charging refrigerant
● Since R410A refrigerant must be charged in the liquid phase, you should charge it, keeping the container
cylinder upside down or using a refrigerant cylinder equipped with a siphon tube.
●
Charge refrigerant always from the liquid side service port with the operation valve shut. When you find it
difficult to charge a required amount, fully open the outdoor unit valves on both liquid and gas sides and
charge refrigerant from the gas (suction) side service port, while running the unit in the cooling mode. In
doing so, care must be taken so that refrigerant may be discharged from the cylinder in the liquid phase all
the time. When the cylinder valve is throttled down or a dedicated conversion tool to change liquid-phase
refrigerant into mist is used to protect the compressor, however, adjust charge conditions so that
refrigerant will gasify upon entering the unit.
●
In charging refrigerant, always charge a calculated volume by using a scale to measure the charge volume.
●
When refrigerant is charged with the unit being run, complete a charge operation within 30 minutes.
Running the unit with an insufficient quantity of refrigerant for a long time can cause a compressor failure.
Pay attention to the following points in addition to the above for the R410A and compatible machines.
○
To prevent a different oil from entering, assign dedicated tools, etc. to each refrigerant type. Under no circumstances must a
gauge manifold and a charge hose in particular be shared with other refrigerant types (R22, R407C, etc.).
○
Use a counterflow prevention adapter to prevent vacuum pump oil from entering the refrigerant system.

4) On-site piping work
IMPORTANT
How to remove the side cover
● Carry out the on site piping work with the operation valve fully closed.
● Give sufficient protection to a pipe end (compressed and blazed, or with an adhesive tape) so
that water or foreign matters may not enter the piping.
● Bend a pipe to a radius as large as practical.(R100~R150) Do not bend a pipe repeatedly to correct
its form.
● Flare connection is used between the unit and refrigerant pipe. Flare a pipe after engaging a
flare nut onto it. Flare dimensions for R410A are different from those for conventional R407C.
Although we recommend the use of flaring tools designed specifically for R410A, conventional
flaring tools can also be used by adjusting the measurement of protrusion B with a protrusion
control gauge.
● Tighten a flare joint securely with a double spanner.
Please remove the screw of a side cover and remove to the front.

Do not hold the valve cap area with a spanner.
5) Air tightness test
① Although outdoor and indoor units themselves have been tested for air tightness at the factory, check the connecting pipes after the installation work for air tightness from the
operation valve’s check joint equipped on the outdoor unit side. While conducting a test, keep the operation valve shut all the time.
a) Raise the pressure to 0.5 MPa, and then stop. Leave it for five minutes to see if the pressure drops.
b) Then raise the pressure to 1.5 MPa, and stop. Leave it for five more minutes to see if the pressure drops.
c) Then raise the pressure to the specified level (4.15 MPa), and record the ambient temperature and the pressure.
d) If no pressure drop is observed with an installation pressurized to the specified level and left for about one day, it is acceptable. When the ambient Temperature fall 1 ℃ , the pressure
also fall approximately 0.01 MPa. The pressure, if changed, should be compensated for.
e) If a pressure drop is observed in checking e) and a) – d), a leak exists somewhere. Find a leak by applying bubble test liquid to welded parts and flare joints and repair it. After
repair, conduct an air-tightness test again.
②
In conducting an air-tightness test, use nitrogen gas and pressurize the system with nitrogen gas from the gas side. Do not use a medium other than nitrogen gas under any circumstances.

Charging refrigerant
●
Since R410A refrigerant must be charged in the liquid phase, you should charge it, keeping the container
cylinder upside down or using a refrigerant cylinder equipped with a siphon tube.
●
Charge refrigerant always from the liquid side service port with the operation valve shut. When you find it
difficult to charge a required amount, fully open the outdoor unit valves on both liquid and gas sides and
charge refrigerant from the gas (suction) side service port, while running the unit in the cooling mode. In
doing so, care must be taken so that refrigerant may be discharged from the cylinder in the liquid phase all
the time. When the cylinder valve is throttled down or a dedicated conversion tool to change liquid-phase
refrigerant into mist is used to protect the compressor, however, adjust charge conditions so that
refrigerant will gasify upon entering the unit.
●
In charging refrigerant, always charge a calculated volume by using a scale to measure the charge volume.
●
When refrigerant is charged with the unit being run, complete a charge operation within 30 minutes.
Running the unit with an insufficient quantity of refrigerant for a long time can cause a compressor failure.
Pay attention to the following points in addition to the above for the R410A and compatible machines.
○
To prevent a different oil from entering, assign dedicated tools, etc. to each refrigerant type. Under no circumstances must a
gauge manifold and a charge hose in particular be shared with other refrigerant types (R22, R407C, etc.).
○
Use a counterflow prevention adapter to prevent vacuum pump oil from entering the refrigerant system.

When condensed water needs to be
led to a drain, etc., install the unit on
a flat base (supplied separately as an
optional part) or concrete blocks.
Then, please secure space for the drain
elbow and the drain hose.
● Execute drain piping by using a drain elbow and drain
grommets supplied separately as optional parts, where
water drained from the outdoor unit is a problem.
●
Water may drip where there is a larger amount of drain
water. Seal around the drain elbow and drain grommets
with putty or adequate caulking material.
● Condensed water may flow out from vicinity of operation
valve or connected pipes.
Do not put a grommet
on this hole.
This is a supplementary
drain hole to discharge
drain water, when a large
quantity of it is gathered.
CAUTION
Clearance
Where you are likely to have several days of sub-zero
temperatures in a row, do not use a drain elbow and
drain grommets. (There is a risk of drain water
freezing inside and blocking the drain.)
