INSTALLATION MANUAL
• Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.
• The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.
WARNING ...... Incorrect methods of installation may cause death or serious injury.
Make sure to connect earth line.
CAUTION ....... Improper installation may result in serious consequence.
This sign indicates prohibition.
Be sure that the unit operates in proper condition after installation. Explain to customer the proper operation and maintenance of the unit
as described in the user’s guide. Ask customers to keep this installation manual together with the instruction manual.
WARNING
• Please request your sales agent or quali
fi
ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or
fi
re may occur if you do the installation work
yourself.
• Please observe the installation stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may cause water leakage, electric
shock and
fi
re.
• Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not, the units may collapse and
impose danger.
• Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when dealing with the electrical
work. Use cables which are approved of
fi
cial in your country. Be sure to use the speci
fi
ed circuit. A short circuit and
fi
re may occur due to the use of
low quality wire or improper work.
• Be sure to use the speci
fi
ed cables for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight after the conductors of
the wire are inserted into the terminals to prevent the external force is being applied to the connection section of the terminal base. Improper insertion
and loose contact may cause over-heating and
fi
re.
• Please use the speci
fi
ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the unit may collapse or water leakage, electric shock,
fi
re or stronger vibration
may occur.
• Be sure to use the speci
fi
ed piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.
• When installing or transferring an air conditioner to another location, make sure that air other than the speci
fi
ed refrigerant (R410A) does not enter the
refrigeration cycle. If other air should enter, the pressure level of the refrigeration cycle may increase abnormally which could result in a rupture and injury.
• Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with
fi
re, a poisonous gas may occur.
• After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming
into contact with
fi
re in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
• Unauthorized modi
fi
cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a quali
fi
ed air conditioner technician or electrician.
Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and
fi
re, etc.
• Be sure to connect the earth line from the power supply wire to the outdoor unit and between the outdoor and indoor unit. Do not
connect the earth line to the gas tube, water pipe, lighting rod or the earth line of the telephone unit. Improper earthing may cause
electric shocks.
• When
fi
nishing the refrigerant collection (pumping down), stop the compressor and then remove the coolant pipe. If you remove the refrigerant pipe
while the compressor is operating and the service valve is released, air is sucked and a pressure in the freezing cycle system will build up steeply,
causing an explosion or injury.
• When installing the unit, be sure to install the refrigerant pipe before starting the compressor.
If the refrigerant pipe is not installed and the compressor is operated with the service valve released, air is sucked and the pressure level of the
refrigeration cycle may increase abnormally which could result in a rupture and injury.
CAUTION
• A circuit breaker must be installed in the house distribution box for the direct connected power supply cables to the outdoor unit. In case of other
installations a main switch with a contact gap or more than 3mm has to be installed. Without a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.
• Do not install the unit near a location where there is
fl
ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch
fi
re if
fl
ammable gas leaks
around it.
• Please ensure smooth
fl
ow of water when installing the drain hose. Improper installing may wet your furniture.
• An IEC approved power cord should be used. Power cord type: NYM.
