For authorized service personnel only.
(1) For the room air conditioner to operate satisfactory, install it as outlined in this installation manual.
(2) Connect the indoor unit and outdoor unit with the air conditioner piping and cords available standards parts. This
installation manual describes the correct connections using the standard accessories and the parts specified in
this installation manual.
(3) Have installation work done by authorized service personnel only.
(4) Never cut the power cord, lengthen or shorten the cord, or change the plug.
(5) Also do not use an extension cord.
(6) Plug in the power cord plug firmly. If the receptacle is loose, repair it before using the room air conditioner.
(7) Do not turn on the power until all installation work is complete.
WARNING
●
Be careful not to scratch the air conditioner when handling it.
●
After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using the operating manual.
●
Let the customer keep this installation manual because it is used when the air conditioner is serviced or
moved.
●
The maximum length of the piping is 20 m. The maximum height difference of the piping is 15 m,
if the units are further apart than these, correct operation can not be guaranteed.

Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:
1. INDOOR UNIT
(1) Install the indoor unit level on a strong wall which is not subject to
vibration.
(2) The inlet and outlet ports should not be obstructed : the air should
be able to blow all over the room.
(3) Install the unit near an electric outlet or special branch circuit.
(4) Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
(5) Install the unit where connection to the outdoor unit is easy.
(6) Install the unit where the drain pipe can be easily installed.
(7) Take servicing, etc. into consideration and leave the spaces shown
in (Fig. 2). Also install the unit where the dustbox and the filter can
be removed.
2. OUTDOOR UNIT
(1) 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 air flow.)
(2) Do not install the unit where a strong wind blows or where it is very
dusty.
(3) Do not install the unit where people pass.
(4) Take your neighbors into consideration so that they are not dis-
turbed by air blowing into their windows or by noise.
(5) Provide the space shown in Fig. 2 so that the air flow is not blocked.
Also for efficient operation, leave open three of the four directions
front, rear, and both sides.
WARNING
Install at a place that can withstand the weight of the
indoor and outdoor units and install positively so that
the units will not topple or fall.
CAUTION
(1) Do not install where there is the danger of com-
bustible gas leakage.
(2) Do not install near heat sources.
(3) If children under 10 years old may approach the

CUSTOMER GUIDANCE
To avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere at the time of relocation or disposal, recover refrig-
erant by doing the cooling operation or forced cooling operation according to the following procedure.
(When the cooling operation cannot start in winter, and so on, start the forced cooling operation.)
1
Do the air purging of the charge hose by connecting the charging hose of gauge manifold to the
charging port of 3 way valve and opening the low-pressure valve slightly.
2
Close the valve stem of 2 way valve completely.
3
Start the cooling operation or following forced cooling operation.
When using the remote control unit
Press the TEST RUN button after starting the cooling operation by the remote control unit.
The operation indicator lamp and timer indicator lamp will begin to flash simultaneously during test run.
When using the MANUAL AUTO button of the indoor unit (The remote control unit is lost, and so on.)
Keep on pressing the MANUAL AUTO button of the indoor unit for more than 10 seconds.
(The forced cooling operation cannot start if the MANUAL AUTO button is not kept on pressing for
more than 10 seconds.)
4
Close the valve stem of 3 way valve when the reading on the compound pressure gage becomes
0.05~0 Mpa (0.5~0 kg/cm
2
).
5
Stop the operation.
• Press the START/STOP button of the remote control unit to stop the operation.
• Press the MANUAL AUTO button when stopping the operation from indoor unit side.
(It is not necessary to press on keeping for more than 10 seconds.)

(1)
The rated voltage of this product is 230 V AC 50 Hz.
(2)
Before turning on the power, check if the voltage is within the 220
V -10 % to 240 V +10 % range.
(3)
Always use a special branch circuit and install a special recep-
tacle to supply power to the room air conditioner.
(4)
Use a circuit breaker and receptacle matched to the capacity of
the air conditioner.
(5)
Do not extend the power cord.
(6)
Perform wiring work in accordance with standards so that the
air conditioner can be operated safely and positively.
(7)
Install a leakage circuit breaker in accordance with the related
laws and regulations and electric company standards.
CAUTION
(1)
The power source capacity must be the sum of the air conditioner current and the current of other electrical appliances. When the
current contracted capacity is insufficient, change the contracted capacity.
(2)
When the voltage is low and the air conditioner is difficult to start, contact the power company the voltage raised.
SPLIT TYPE ROOM AIR CONDITIONER
INSTALLATION MANUAL
(PART No. 9314963018-02)
(Z14LB/Z18LB)
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
(1) Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant(R22) mod-
els, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special.(See the table below.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant(R22) model with a new refrigerant R410A
model, always replace the conventional piping and flare nuts with the R410A piping and flare
nuts.
(2) Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent
erroneous charging with conventional refrigerant(R22) and for safety. Therefore, check
beforehand.[The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 1/2 threads per inch.]
(3) 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 opening by pinching,
taping, etc.
(4) 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 side whose composition is stable.
This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).
Special tools for R410A
Copper pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable
that the amount of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10m. Do not
use copper pipes having a collapsed, deformed or discolored
portion (especially on the interior surface). Otherwise, the ex-
pansion value or capillary tube may become blocked with con-
taminants.
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than
when using R22, it is necessary to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A are as shown in Table1.Never us copper pipes thinner than 0.8mm even
when it is available on the market.

Contents of change
Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a conventional gauge. To prevent erroneous
mixing of other refrigerants, the diameter of each port has been changed.
It is recommended the gauge with seals-0.1 to 5.3 MPa (-1 to 53 bar) for high pressure.
-0.1 to 3.8 MPa (-1 to 38 bar) for low pressure.
To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base size were changed.
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a vacuum pump adapter.

(1) Do not use the existing (for R22) piping and flare nuts.
• If the existing materials are used, the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle will rise and cause breakage, injury,
etc.(Use the special R410A materials.)
(2) When installing and relocating the air conditioner, do not mix gases other than the specified refrigerant(R410A)
to enter the refrigerant cycle.
• If air or other gas enters the refrigerant cycle, the pressure inside the cycle will rise to an abnormally high value
and cause breakage, injury, etc.
WARNING
CAUTION
When installing pipes shorter than 3m, sound of the outdoor unit will be transferred to the indoor unit, which will
cause large operating sound or some abnormal sound.
