Evacuation
Evacuate with the ball valve of the outdoor unit closed and evacuate both the
connection piping and the indoor unit from the service port provided on the ball
valve of the outdoor unit using a vacuum pump. (Always evacuate from the
service port of both the liquid pipe and the gas pipe.) After the vacuum reaches
5 Torr, continue evacuation for at least one hour or more.
* Never perform air purging using refrigerant.
Note:
•
Always add an appropriate amount of refrigerant. Also always seal the
system with liquid refrigerant. Too much or too little refrigerant will cause
trouble.
•
Use a gauge manifold, charging hose, and other parts for the refrigerant
indicated on the unit.
•
Use a graviometer. (One that can measure down to 0.1 kg.)

-6.4. Thermal insulation of refrigerant piping
Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid pipe and gas
pipe separately with enough thickness heat-resistant polyethylene, so that no gap
is observed in the joint between indoor unit and insulating material, and insulating
materials themselves. When insulation work is insufficient, there is a possibility of
condensation drip, etc. Pay special attention to insulation work to ceiling plenum.
Glass fiber + Steel wire
Ad Heat - resistant polyethylene foam + Adhesive tape
Indoor
Vinyl tape
Floor exposed
Water-proof hemp cloth + Bronze asphalt
Outdoor
Water-proof hemp cloth + Zinc plate + Oily
paint
Note:
•
When using polyethylene cover as covering material, asphalt roofing shall
not be required.
•
No heat insulation must be provided for electric wires.
Penetrations
When filling a gap with mortar, cover the penetration part with steel plate so that
the insulation material will not be caved in. For this part, use incombustible materi-
als for both insulation and covering. (Vinyl covering should not be used.)

-7.1. Caution
1
Follow ordinance of your governmental organization for technical standard re-
lated to electrical equipment, wiring regulations and guidance of each electric
power company.
2
Set up the outdoor unit so that the wiring for the remote controller and the M-
NET (MELANS) wiring do not produce electrical interference with the power
supply cable. (Do not route them together in the same conduit.)
3
Be sure to provide designated grounding work to outdoor unit.
4
Give some allowance to wiring for electrical part box of indoor and outdoor
units, because the box is sometimes removed at the time of service work.

Wiring
5
In the indoor/outdoor connection wiring, the power and signals wiring are con-
tained in the same multiconductor cable. Since the cable is polarized, be sure
the connection is according to the terminal number.
6
For detailed information about the power supply cable, see the manual sup-
plied with the indoor unit.
