●
In case of removing
ß
are nut of a indoor unit,
Þ
rst remove a nut of small diameter side, or seal
cap of large diameter side will
ß
y out. Free from water into the piping when working.
●
During connection, keep away from water.
●
Be sure to tighten the
ß
are nut to the speci
Þ
ed torque using a torque wrench. If the
ß
are nut is
tightened excessively, it may crack as time elapses, causing refrigerant leakage.
●
Install the unit in a stable place to minimize vibration or noise.
●
After arranging the cords and pipes, secure them in place.
Gas leakage inspection
Please use gas leakage detector to check if leakage occurs
at connection of
ß
are nut as shown on the right.
If gas leakage occurs, further tighten the connection to stop leakage.
(Use the detector provided for R410A)
Tighten all the way by hand.
Do not tighten all at once, but tighten it while
Þ
tting the
ß
ared surface to the pipe.
5. Pipe Connection
5.1 Pipe connection
Connecting the pipe to outdoor unit
(1) Remove the
ß
are nut and seal cap from the service valve.
(2) Apply refrigerator oil to the service valve and the
ß
ared
portion of the pipe.
(3) Using a wrench, security tighten.
●
Jagged edge will cause leakage.
●
Point the side to be trimmed downwards during trimming
to prevent copper chips from entering the pipe.
7. Operation test
●
Please ensure that the air conditioner is in normal operating condition during the operation test.
●
Explain to your customer the proper operation procedures as described in the user’s manual.
●
If the indoor unit does not operate, check to see that the connections are correct.
CAUTION
●
Trial run should be conducted on one unit at a time to check for incorrect wiring of connecting cord.
