When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the
fl
are method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the
fl
are and union tubes before
connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before opening the refrigerant valves.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main circuit breaker panel before opening the unit to check or
repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your
fi
ngers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you
fi
nish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of
wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced.
• After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using the operating manual.
WARNING
Never touch electrical components immediately after the power supply has been turned
off. Electrical shock may occur. After turning off the power, always wait 10 minutes or
more before touching electrical components.
• Be sure to read this manual thoroughly before installation.
• The warnings and precautions indicated in this Manual contain important information
pertaining to your safety. Be sure to observe them.
• Hand this Manual, together with the operating manual, to the customer. Request the
customer to keep them on hand for future use, such as for relocating or repairing the unit.
WARNING
• Installation of this product must be done by experienced service technicians or profes-
sional installers only in accordance with this manual. Installation by non-professional
or improper installation of the product might cause serious accidents such as injury,
water leakage, electric shock, or
fi
re. If the product is installed in disregard of the
instructions in this manual, it will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Do not turn on the power until all work has been completed. Turning on the power be-
fore the work is completed can cause serious accidents such as electric shock or
fi
re.
• If refrigerant leaks when you are working, ventilate the area. If the leaking refrigerant
is exposed to a direct
fl
ame, it may produce a toxic gas.
• Installation must be performed in accordance with regulations, codes, or standards for
electrical wiring and equipment in each country, region, or the installation place.
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bag or thin
fi
lm used as the packaging
material away from young children.

CAUTION
• Read carefully all safety information written in this manual before you install or use the
air conditioner.
• Install the product by following local codes and regulations in force at the place of
installation, and the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
• This product is part of a set constituting an air conditioner. The product must not be
installed alone or be installed with a device not authorized by the manufacturer.
• Always use a separate power supply line protected by a circuit breaker operating on
all wires with a distance between contact of 1/8 in (3 mm) for this product.
• To protect the persons, earth (ground) the product correctly, and use the power cable
combined with an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB).
• This product is not explosion proof, and therefore should not be installed in an explo-
sive atmosphere.
• This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Always consult experienced service
technicians for repairing.
• When moving or relocating the air conditioner, consult experienced service technicians
for disconnection and reinstallation of the product.
• Do not touch the aluminum
fi
ns of heat exchanger built-in the indoor or outdoor unit to
avoid personal injury when you install or maintain the unit.
• Do not place any other electrical products or household belongings under the product.
Condensation dripping from the product might get them wet, and may cause damage
or malfunction to the property.
• Be careful not to scratch the air conditioner when handling it.
2. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
2. 1. Precautions for using R410A refrigerant
• The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant
(R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
• Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refriger-
ant (R22) models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special.
(Refer to the following table.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant (R22) model with a new refriger-
ant R410A model, always replace the conventional piping and
fl
are nuts with the
R410A piping and
fl
are nuts.
• Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to
prevent erroneous charging with conventional refrigerant (R22) and for safety. There-
fore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 1/2-20 UNF.]
• Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than
with refrigerant (R22) models. Also, when storing the piping, securely seal the open-
ing by pinching, taping, etc.
• When charging the refrigerant, take into account the slight change in the composition
of the gas and liquid phases. And always charge from the liquid phase where refriger-
ant composition is stable.
2. 2. Installation tools
Tool name
Contents of change
Gauge manifold
Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a R22
gauge. To prevent erroneous mixing of other refrigerants,
the diameter of each port has been changed.
It is recommended to use gauge with seals -30 inHg to 768
psi (-0.1 to 5.3 MPa) for high pressure.
-30 inHg to 551 psi (-0.1 to 3.8 MPa) for low pressure.
Charge hose
To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base
size were changed.
Vacuum pump
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a
vacuum pump adapter.
Gas leakage detector
Special gas leakage detector for HFC refrigerant R410A.
■
Copper pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable that the amount of residual
oil is less than 0.004 oz/100 ft (40 mg/10 m). Do not use copper pipes having a collapsed,
deformed or discolored portion (especially on the interior surface). Otherwise, the expansion
value or capillary tube may become blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when using R22, it is neces-
sary to choose adequate materials.
WARNING
• Do not use the existing (for R22) piping and
fl
are nuts.
If the existing materials are used, the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle will rise
and cause failure, injury, etc. (Use the special R410A materials.)
• Use (re
fi
ll or replace with) speci
fi
ed refrigerant (R410A) only. Use of unspeci
fi
ed refrig-
erant can cause product malfunction, burst, or injury.
• Do not mix any gas or impurities except speci
fi
ed refrigerant (R410A). In
fl
ow of air or
application of unspeci
fi
ed material makes the internal pressure of the refrigerant cycle
too high, and may cause product malfunction, burst of piping, or injury.
2. 3. Accessories
WARNING
For installation purposes, be sure to use the parts supplied by the manufacturer or other
prescribed parts.
The use of non-prescribed parts can cause serious accidents such as the unit falling,
water leakage, electric shock, or
fi
re.
• The following installation parts are furnished. Use them as required.
• Keep the Installation Manual in a safe place and do not discard any other accessories
until the installation work has been completed.
