(3) In snowy regions, be sure to install a snow-protection hood and enclosure.
Even in regions that do not have heavy snowfall, install a snow-protection roof (such as a snow hood) if the
unit is installed in a location where snow may build up and fall from the building’s roof or other surface onto
the unit. (Install the hood so that the coolant supply opening at the top of the unit can be used.)
(4) Take care that operating noise and exhaust do not disturb neighboring buildings or homes.
In particular, install so that noise-related local environmental standards, if any, are satis
fi
ed at the border
with a neighboring dwelling.
(5) Because this gas heat pump A/C may affect other electrical devices with noise, give due consideration when
installing AC units (both indoors and outdoors) at enough distance (at least 3 m) from the main unit of TVs,
radios, stereos, intercoms, PCs, word processors, telephones, etc., as well as their antenna cables, signal
wires, power cords, etc.
(6) Select an installation location so that the length of refrigerant tubing is within the ranges shown in the table
below.
Warnings (Same for All Models)
*Always use R410A branch tubes (sold separately) when running branching tubes.
1. Warnings about using branch tubes (
) and header tubes sold separately will come packaged with
the parts sold separately, so be sure to
refer to those materials.
2. When using a T-tee branch tube
(provided by installer) (only with L3 at
2 m or less), the main tubing must be
either level or vertical. The openings of
each branch tube must be at a raised
angle from the ground when the main
tubing is level. The openings can be set
at any angle when the main tubing is
vertical, but be sure to curve a portion
of the connected tubing upward. Always
close weld the end point of the T-tee tubing. In addition, pay special attention to the insertion dimensions
for each connected tube so that refrigerant
fl
ow is not blocked at the T-tee branches. Be sure to use only
standard T-tees.
3. Do not use off the shelf Y-joints (
) for liquid tubes (branch tubes (made on site)).
