SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH. ONLYA QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED
ELECTRICIAN SHOULDATTEMPTTO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are com-
pleted or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Care-
fully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when wiring.
Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause acciden-
tal injury or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at
connection points and a possible fire hazard.
5 cm or over
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 pre-
vent 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 pinch-
ing, 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).
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units.
Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce
strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air con-
ditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing...
...In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight.
It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to
provide added support.
...In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent “sweating”
that can cause dripping and water damage to walls and floors.
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level
foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and ab-
normal vibration.
...In an Area with HighWinds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame.
Provide a suitable air baffle.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting
snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting RefrigerantTubing
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and
union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut with a
torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
NOTE:
Depending on the system type, liquid and gas lines may be either nar-
row or wide. Therefore, to avoid confusion the refrigerant tubing for
your particular model is specified as either “small” or “large” rather
than as “liquid” or “gas”.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main circuit breaker panel before open-
ing the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no
metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit being
serviced.
• After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using
the operating manual.
(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 17ft (5m), sound of the outdoor unit will be transferred to the indoor unit, which
will cause large operating sound or some abnormal sound.
Special tools for R410A
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.

Copper pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desir-
able 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). Oth-
erwise, the expansion value or capillary tube may become
blocked with contaminants.
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 the table. Never use copper pipes thinner than that in
the table even when it is available on the market.
