Hitachi’s air conditioners are designed and manufactured based on using the specified refrigerants. The applicable
refrigerants are specified to each unit models. However, in the global sites, it is revealed that charging different type
of refrigerants instead of the specified refrigerants. This action may cause mechanical troubles, malfunction and
failure, and in the worst case, it endangers safety seriously and may cause a fire or an explosion.
Therefore, Do Not charge the non-specified refrigerants or others in the refrigerant cycle of the unit as follows:
˗Hydrocarbon Refrigerants such as Propane or etc.
˗Oxygen, Flammable Gases such as Acetylene or etc.
˗Poisonous Gases.
The types of charging refrigerants are indicated in the Installation and Maintenance Manuals, Technical Catalogs,
Service Manuals and the specification label in the each unit. Be aware that Hitachi does not take any
responsibility for unit failure, troubles of malfunction, and any accidents caused by charging the
non-specified refrigerants or others such as above.

PREPARATION
1. PREPARATION
1.1 Initial Check
Required Materials –Measure, Architectural
Information Regarding Installation Location.
Installation Location –Confirm that the final
Installation location is provided with convenient
piping and wiring work. Strong water runoff should
be avoided.
Installation Space –Check for obstacles, which
restrict condenser airflow or hamper maintenance
work in the space specified in Fig. 1.
Foundation –Check to ensure that the foundation
is flat, level, and sufficiently strong, taking into
account the maximum foundation gradient (Fig. 2)
and the unit weight balance. Confirm elevation
provision for the unit on a solid base with an iron
frame or concrete curbs shown in Fig. 3, in order
to obtain proper clearance beneath the unit for
either rooftop or on-the-ground installation.
Additionally, for on-the-ground installation, provide
a gravel or concrete space around the condenser
air intake, in order to avoid airflow obstruction due
to grass or other vegetation.
Unit –Check to ensure that the unit has been
transported without damage. File a damage claim
with the transportation companies if mishandling
due to transportation company negligence is
suspected.
1.2 Transportation
Secure the route to the final installation location by
confirming the packing dimensions (see "Unit

Transportation –Transport the unit as close to
the final installation location as practical before
unpacking is performed. Keep the unit upright.
When transporting the unit after unpacking has
been performed, take note of the following.
Rolling –Place three equal - sized rollers under
the base frames. Each roller must carry both of the
outer frames, and must be situated to balance the
unit (refer to the center of gravity in Fig. 4).
Lifting by Forklift –Insert the forks under the
base frames from the indicated direction in Fig.4.
Lift the unit, exercising care to catch both of the
outer frames.
Rigging –Apply spreader bars to the top of the
unit, in order to prevent damage to the unit due to
cable scratches.
Unpacking –Follow the instructions marked on
the packing

2.1 Ducting Arrangement
Tools and Instruments –General tools for
ducting.
Connection –Pre-drilled duct flanges are
provided at the supply and return air duct
connections. A field-supplied or optional filter box
with filter must be installed at a proper location in
the return air duct. It is recommended that flexible
duct connections be installed to minimize sound
and vibration transmission. All ducts running
outside must be sufficiently insulated and
weatherproofed.
2.2 Condensate Drain Piping
Tools and Instruments –General piping tools.
Drain Trap –A female piping thread screw
connection is provided at side of the unit.
Dimension "L" in Fig. 5 should be sufficiently
longer than the negative fan pressure at the drain
connection (50mm to 100mm, depending on the
return air duct design). Always fill the trap with
water.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
3. ELECTRICAL WIRING
Tools and Instruments – One set of wiring tools,
electrical tester (Clamp meter).
Schedule Check – Confirm that the field selected
electrical components (main power switch, fuses,
wires, conduit connections, wire terminals) are
properly selected according to "Electrical Data" in
Technical Catalog , and ensure that they complyⅠ
with national and local codes. It is recommended
that the main power switch be locked at the OFF
position, to prevent against accidental supply of
the power during unit servicing.
Service Panel – Access to the magnetic switch
box is provided from the service panel, which is
fixed with screws (see the panel location in the
Operation Instructions.)
3.1 Main Power Wiring Procedures
Confirm that electrical power is not being
supplied to the installation location prior to any
electrical installation work.
1. Install the field-supplied main switch box at the
properly selected location.
2. Install conduit connectors in the hole for power
wiring (knockout holes).
3. Lead the main power wires and the earthing
wire through the connector to the screw
terminals for main power and earthing in the
magnetic switch box. The neutral wire to 380V
and 415V power supplies should also be led
through the connector. Firmly connect the
wires with wire terminals to the unit screw
terminals R(L1),S(L2) and T(L3) and also
Mp(N) for 380V and 415V power supplies
according to Fig. 6 or the wiring label attached
to the magnetic switch box.
A scroll compressor is equipped. Because that
the rotation direction of the orbiting scroll of the
HITACHI scroll type compressor is fixed,
therefore a reverse & single phase sequence
protection relay is equipped in this unit. If each
phase R, S or T of the power source is
incorrectly connected, the compressor does not
start due to the activation of the reverse & single
phase sequence protection relay. Therefore, in
order to check the correct wiring connection, the
utilization of a phase sequence indicator is
recommended when the unit is started after
installation of the unit.
(1) If the phase is wrong, exchange two of the
three wires connected from the main power
source to the main terminals of the unit as
indicated with dotted lines, and then check the
rotation direction of the phase sequence
indicator once again. Do not exchange the
wires in the unit in order to protect the
compressor against the reversal rotation.
(2) Do not operate the compressor by depressing
the button of the magnetic switch for the
compressor.
A three-phase condenser fan motor is equipped;
therefore, the fan motor rotation should be
checked. Interchange two of the three main
power source wires, if incorrect rotation is
detected during initial start-up.
3.2 Control Wiring
Install the optional room thermostat at a suitable
location in the space to be air-conditioned.
Connect the control wires between the unit
terminals and the thermostat terminals according
to Fig. 6 or the wiring label. If a locally-supplied
thermostat and switch are installed, connect the
wiring according Technical Catalog Ⅰ.
