HEAT INSULATION AROUND CONNECTION PIPES REQUIREMENTS
21 41 41
CAUTION
Install heat insulation around both the gas and liquid pipes. Failure to do so may cause
water leaks.
Use heat insulation with heat resistance above 120 °C. (Reverse cycle model only)
In addition, if the humidity level at the installation location of the refrigerant piping is
expected to exceed 70%, install heat insulation around the refrigerant piping. If the
expected humidity level is 70-80%, use heat insulation that is 15 mm or thicker and if
the expected humidity exceeds 80%, use heat insulation that is 20 mm or thicker.
If heat insulation is used that is not as thick as specified, condensation may form on the
surface of the insulation.
In addition, use heat insulation with heat conductivity of 0.045 W/(m·K) or less (at 20 °C).
Connect the connection pipes according to “4. PIPE INSTALLATION I” in this installation
Manual.
INSTALLATION WORK
21
Please obtain the approval of the customer when selecting the location of installation and
installing the unit.
Selecting an installation location
21 11
WARNING
Securely install the outdoor unit at a location that can withstand the weight of the unit.
Otherwise, the outdoor unit may fall and cause injury.
Be sure to install the outdoor unit as prescribed, so that it can withstand earthquakes
and typhoons or other strong winds. Improper installation can cause the unit to topple
or fall, or other accidents.
Do not install the outdoor unit near the edge of a balcony. Otherwise, children may
climb onto the outdoor unit and fall off of the balcony.
CAUTION
Do not install the outdoor unit in the following areas:
Area with high salt content, such as at the seaside. It will deteriorate metal parts,
•
causing the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
Area filled with mineral oil or containing a large amount of splashed oil or steam,
•
such as a kitchen. It will deteriorate plastic parts, causing the parts to fail or the unit
to leak water.
Area that generates substances that adversely affect the equipment, such as
•
sulfuric gas, chlorine gas, acid, or alkali. It will cause the copper pipes and brazed
joints to corrode, which can cause refrigerant leakage.
Area containing equipment that generates electromagnetic interference. It will cause
•
the control system to malfunction, preventing the unit from operating normally.
Area that can cause combustible gas to leak, contains suspended carbon fibers or
•
flammable dust, or volatile inflammables such as paint thinner or gasoline. If gas
leaks and settles around the unit, it can cause a fire.
Area that has heat sources, vapors, or the risk of the leakage of flammable gas in
•
the vicinity.
Area where small animals may live. It may cause failure, smoke or fire if small
•
animals enter and touch internal electrical parts.
Area where animals may urinate on the unit or ammonia may be generated.
•
Please install the outdoor unit without slant.
Install the outdoor unit in a well-ventilated location away from rain or direct sunlight.
If the outdoor unit must be installed in an area within easy reach of the general public,
install as necessary a protective fence or the like to prevent their access.
Install the outdoor unit in a location that would not inconvenience your neighbors, as
they could be affected by the airflow coming out from the outlet, noise, or vibration. If it
must be installed in proximity to your neighbors, be sure to obtain their approval.
If the outdoor unit is installed in a cold region that is affected by snow accumulation,
snow fall, or freezing, take appropriate measures to protect it from those elements. To
ensure a stable operation, install inlet and outlet ducts.
Install the outdoor unit in a location that is away from exhaust or the vent ports that
discharge vapor, soot, dust, or debris.
Install the indoor unit, outdoor unit, power supply cable, connection cable, and remote
controller cable at least 1 m away from a television or radio receivers. The purpose of
this is to prevent TV reception interference or radio noise. (Even if they are installed
more than 1 m apart, you could still receive noise under some signal conditions.)

CAUTION
If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that
they cannot reach the unit.
Keep the length of the piping of the indoor and outdoor units within the allowable range.
For maintenance purposes, do not bury the piping.
Drain installation
21 21
CAUTION
Perform drain work in accordance with this Manual, and ensure that the drain water is
properly drained. If the drain work is not carried out correctly, water may drip down from
the unit, wetting the furniture.
When the outdoor temperature is 0 °C or less, do not use the accessory drain pipe
and drain cap. If the drain pipe and drain cap are used, the drain water in the pipe may
freeze in extremely cold weather. (Reverse cycle model only)

Since the drain water flows out of the outdoor unit during heating operation, install the drain
pipe and connect it to a commercial 16 mm hose. (Reverse cycle model only)
When installing the drain pipe, plug all the holes other than the drain pipe mounting hole
in the bottom of the outdoor unit with putty so there is no water leakage. (Reverse cycle

CAUTION
Select installation locations that can properly support the weight of the indoor and
outdoor units. Install the units securely so that they do not topple or fall.
WARNING
Do not install where there is the danger of combustible gas leakage.
Do not install the unit near heat source of heat, steam, or flammable gas.
If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that
they cannot reach the unit.
CAUTION
Install the unit where it will not be tilted by more than 3˚. However, do not install the unit
with it tilted towards the side containing the compressor.
When installing the outdoor unit where it may exposed to strong wind, fasten it securely.
Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:
(1) Install the outdoor unit in a location which can withstand the weight of the unit and
vibration, and which can install horizontally.
(2) Provide the indicated space to ensure good airflow.
(3) If possible, do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
(If necessary, install a blind that does not interfere with the airflow.)
(4) Do not install the unit near a source of heat, steam, or flammable gas.
(5) During heating operation, drain water flows from the outdoor unit.
Therefore, install the outdoor unit in a place where the drain water flow will not be
obstructed. (Reverse cycle model only)
(6) Do not install the unit where strong wind blows or where it is very dusty.
(7) Do not install the unit where people pass.
(8) Install the outdoor unit in a place where it will be free from being dirty or getting wet by
rain as much as possible.
(9) Install the unit where connection to the indoor unit is easy.
