1.2. Precautions for devices that use R32
refrigerant
Caution:
•
Do not use existing refrigerant piping.
- The old refrigerant and refrigerant oil in the existing piping contain a large
amount of chlorine which may cause the refrigerant oil of the new unit to
deteriorate.
- R32 is high-pressure refrigerant and can cause the existing piping to burst.
•
Use refrigerant piping made of phosphorus deoxidized copper and copper
alloy seamless pipes and tubes. In addition, be sure that the inner and
outer surfaces of the pipes are clean and free of hazardous sulphur,
oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other
contaminant.
- Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause the refrigerant
residual oil to deteriorate.
•
Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends
of the piping sealed until just before brazing. (Store elbows and other joints
in a plastic bag.)
- If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of the oil and
compressor failure may result.
•
Apply a small amount of ester oil, ether oil, or alkyl benzene to flares. (for
indoor unit)
- Infiltration of a large amount of mineral oil may cause the refrigerant oil to
deteriorate.
•
Do not use a refrigerant other than R32.
- If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is mixed with R32, the chlorine in the
refrigerant may cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate.
•
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.
- The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant cycle and cause the
refrigerant oil to deteriorate.
•
Do not use the following tools that are used with conventional refrigerants.
(Gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, reverse flow check valve,
refrigerant charge base, refrigerant recovery equipment)
- If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerant oil are mixed in the R32, the
refrigerant may deteriorate.
- If water is mixed in the R32, the refrigerant oil may deteriorate.
- Since R32 does not contain any chlorine, gas leak detectors for conventional
refrigerants will not react to it.
•
Refrigerant R32 is flammable. Do not use a naked-flame type detector.
•
Carry a refrigerant leak detection sensor when installing or removing the
unit.
•
Do not use a charging cylinder.
- Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
•
Do not use antioxidant or leak-detection additive.
•
Be especially careful when managing the tools.
- If dust, dirt, or water gets into the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant may
deteriorate.
1.3. Before installation
Caution:
•
Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.
- If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an explosion may result.
•
Do not use the air conditioner where food, pets, plants, precision
instruments, or artwork are kept.
- The quality of the food, etc. may deteriorate.
•
Do not use the air conditioner in special environments.
- Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce the performance of the
air conditioner or damage its parts.
•
When installing the unit in a hospital, communication station, or similar
place, provide sufficient protection against noise.
- Sound pressure level does not exceed 70 dB(A). However, inverter equipment,
private power generator, high-frequency medical equipment, or radio
communication equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate
erroneously, or fail to operate. On the other hand, the air conditioner may affect
such equipment by creating noise that disturbs medical treatment or image
broadcasting.
•
Do not install the unit on or over things that are subject to water damage.
- When the room humidity exceeds 80% or when the drain pipe is clogged,
condensation may drip from the indoor unit or hydro unit. Perform collective
drainage work together with the outdoor unit, as required.
•
Do not install the unit where corrosive gas may be generated.
- Doing so can corrode the pipes, resulting in refrigerant leakage and fire.
•
Check that markings of the unit are not illegible.
- Illegible warning or caution markings may cause damage to the unit, resulting
in injury.
1.4. Before installation (relocation) -
electrical work
Caution:
•
Ground the unit.
- Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes, lightning rods, or
telephone ground lines. Improper grounding may result in electric shock.
•
Install the power cable so that tension is not applied to the cable.
- Tension may cause the cable to break and generate heat and cause a fire.
•
Install a leak circuit breaker, as required.
- If a leak circuit breaker is not installed, electric shock may result.
•
Use power line cables of sufficient current carrying capacity and rating.
- Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and cause a fire.
•
Use only a circuit breaker and fuse of the specified capacity.
- A fuse or circuit breaker of a larger capacity, or the use of substitute simple
steel or copper wire may result in a general unit failure or fire.
•
Do not wash the air conditioner units.
- Washing them may cause an electric shock.
•
Be careful that the installation base is not damaged by long use.
- If the damage is left uncorrected, the unit may fall and cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Install the drain piping according to this Installation Manual to ensure
proper drainage. Wrap thermal insulation around the pipes to prevent
condensation.
- Improper drain piping may cause water leakage causing damage to furniture
and other possessions.
•
Be very careful about transporting the product.
- One person should not carry the product. Its weight is in excess of 20 kg.
- Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use any PP bands as a
means of transportation. It is dangerous.
•
Safely dispose of the packing materials.
- Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause
stabs or other injuries.
- Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children will not play
with them. If children play with a plastic bag which has not been torn apart, they
face the risk of suffocation.
•
When air flow decrease is detected of a circulation fan beside the hydro
unit installed at the height of less than 1.8 m from the ground, the system
must be powered off within 10 seconds from the detection. Before
powering off the system, connect the contactor to the power cable of the
outdoor unit and open the contactor. For the connection procedures,
specifications, and installation location of the contactor, refer to the
manual of the outdoor unit.
1.5. Before starting the test run
Caution:
•
Turn on the power at least 12 hours before starting operation.
- Starting operation immediately after turning on the main power switch can
result in irreversible damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch turned on
during the operational season.
•
Do not touch the switches with wet fingers.
- Touching a switch with wet fingers can result in an electric shock.
•
Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately after operation.
- During and immediately after operation, the refrigerant pipes may be hot or
cold, depending on the condition of the refrigerant flowing through the
refrigerant piping, compressor, and other refrigerant cycle parts. Your hands
may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the refrigerant pipes.
•
Do not operate the air conditioner with the panels and guards removed.
- Rotating, hot, or high-voltage parts can cause injuries.
•
Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping operation.
- Always wait at least 5 minutes before turning off the power. Otherwise,
drainage water leakage or mechanical failure of sensitive parts may occur.
•
Check for refrigerant leaks before service.
- If the refrigerant leaks, fire may result.
