1 Safety Precautions
WARNING! This mark indicates procedures which, if improperly performed, might lead to the
death or serious injury of the user.
CAUTION! This mark indicates procedures which, if improperly performed, might possibly result
in personal harm to the user, or damage to property.
WARNING!
(1). Installation should be left to the dealer or another professional. Improper installation may cause
water leakage, electrical shock, or re.
(2). Install the air conditioner according to the instructions given in this manual. Incomplete installation
may cause water leakage, electrical shock, or re.
(3). Be sure to use the supplied or specied installation parts. Use of other parts may cause the unit to
come to lose, water leakage, electrical shock, or re.
(4). Install the air conditioner on a solid base that can support the weight of the unit. An inadequate base
or incomplete installation may cause injury in the event the unit falls off the base.
(5). Electrical work should be carried out in accordance with the installation manual and the national
electrical wiring rules or code of practice. Insufcient capacity or incomplete electrical work may
cause electrical shock or re.
(6). Be sure to use a dedicated power circuit. Never use a power supply shared by another appliance.
(7). For wiring, use a cable length enough to cover the entire distance with no connection. Do not use
an extension cord. Do not put other loads on the power supply, use a dedicated power circuit.
(Failure to do so may cause abnormal heat, electric shock or re.)
(8). Use the specied types of wires for electrical connections between the indoor and outdoor units.
Firmly clamp the interconnecting wires so their terminals receive no external stresses. Incomplete
connections or clamping may cause terminal overheating or re.
(9). After connecting interconnecting and supply wiring be sure to shape the cables so that they do not
put undue force on the electrical covers or panels. Install covers over the wires. Incomplete cover
installation may cause terminal overheating, electrical shock, or re.
(10). If any refrigerant has leaked out during the installation work, ventilate the room. (The refrigerant
produces a toxic gas if exposed to ames.)
(11). After all installation is complete, check to make sure that no refrigerant is leaking out. (The
refrigerant produces a toxic gas if exposed to ames.)
(12). When installing or relocating the system, be sure to keep the refrigerant circuit free from
substances other than the specied refrigerant (R410A), such as air. (Any presence of air or other
foreign substance in the refrigerant circuit causes an abnormal pressure rise or rupture, resulting in
injury.)
(13). During pump-down, stop the compressor before removing the refrigerant piping. If the compressor
is still running and the stop valve is open during pump-down, air will be sucked in when the
refrigerant piping is removed, causing abnormal pressure in the freezer cycle which will lead to
breakage and even injury.

(14). During installation, attach the refrigerant piping securely before running the compressor. If the
compressor is not attached and the stop valve is open during pump-down, air will be sucked in
when the compressor is run, causing abnormal pressure in the freezer cycle which will lead to
breakage and even injury.
(15). Be sure to establish an earth. Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, arrester, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock, or re. A high surge current from lightning or other
sources may cause damage to the air conditioner.
(16). Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker. Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in
electric shocks, or re.
(17). This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
(18). Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
(19). If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
CAUTION!
(1). Do not install the air conditioner in a place where there is danger of exposure to inammable gas
leakage. If the gas leaks and builds up around the unit, it may catch re.
(2). Establish drain piping according to the instructions of this manual. Inadequate piping may cause
ooding.
(3). Tighten the are nut according to the specied method such as with a torque wrench. If the are
nut is tightened too hard, the are nut may crack after a long time and cause refrigerant leakage.

4.3 Installation of the Connection Pipe
4.3.1 Flare Processing
(1). Cut the connection pipe with the pipe cutter and remove the burrs.
(2). Hold the pipe downward to prevent cuttings from entering the pipe.
(3). Remove the are nuts at the stop valve of the outdoor unit and inside the accessory bag of
the indoor unit, then insert them to the connection pipe, after that, are the connection pipe
with a aring tool.
(4). Check if the are part is spread evenly and there are no cracks (see Fig.12).
Fig.12
4.3.2 Bending Pipes
(1). The pipes are shaped by your hands. Be careful not to collapse them.
Fig.13
(2). Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90°.
(3). When pipes are repeatedly bent or stretched, the material
will harden, making it difcult to bend or stretch them any
more. Do not bend or stretch the pipes more than three
times.
(4). When bending the pipe, do not bend it as is. The pipe
will be collapsed. In this case, cut the heat insulating pipe with a sharp cutter as shown in
Fig.14, and bend it after exposing the pipe. After bending the pipe as you want, be sure to
put the heat insulating pipe back on the pipe, and secure it with tape.

CAUTION!
① .
To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends. Bend the pipe with a radius of curvature of 150
mm or over.
② .
If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the same place, it will break.
4.3.3 Connecting the Pipe at the Indoor Unit Side
Detach the caps and plugs from the pipes.
CAUTION!
① .
Be sure to apply the pipe against the port on the indoor unit correctly. If the centering is improper,
the flare nut cannot be tightened smoothly. If the flare nut is forced to turn, the threads will be
damaged.
② .
Do not remove the are nut until the connection pipe is to be connected so as to prevent dust and
impurities from coming into the pipe system.
When connecting the pipe to the unit or removing it from the unit, please do use both the
spanner and the torque wrench.(Fig.15)
When connecting, smear both inside and outside of the are nut with refrigeration oil, screw it
hand tight and then tighten it with the spanner.
Refer to Table 9 to check if the wrench has been tightened properly (too tight would mangle the
nut and lead to leakage).
Examine the connection pipe to see if it leaks, then take the treatment of heat insulation, as
shown in the Fig.15.
Use the medium-sized sponge to insulate the coupler of the gas pipe.

If the outdoor unit is installed lower than
the indoor unit (See Fig.18)
(1). A drain pipe should be above ground
and the end of the pipe does not
dip into water. All pipes must be
restrained to the wall by saddles.
(2). Taping pipes must be done from
bottom to top.
(3). All pipes are bound together by tape
and restrained to wall by saddles.
If the outdoor unit is installed higher than
the indoor unit (See Fig.19)
(1). Taping should be done from lower to
the upper part.
(2). All pipes are bound and taped
together and also should be trapped
to prevent water from returning to the
room.
(3). Restraint all pipes to the wall with
saddles.
4.4 Vacuum and Gas Leakage Inspection
CAUTION!
Do not purge the air with refrigerants but use a vacuum pump to vacuum the installation! There is no
extra refrigerant in the outdoor unit for air purging!
4.4.1 Vacuum
(1). Remove the caps of the liquid valve, gas valve and also the service port.
(2). Connect the hose at the low pressure side of the manifold valve assembly to the service
port of the unit’s gas valve, and meanwhile the gas and liquid valves should be kept closed
in case of refrigerant leak.
(3). Connect the hose used for evacuation to the vacuum pump.
(4). Open the switch at the lower pressure side of the manifold valve assembly and start the
vacuum pump. Meanwhile, the switch at the high pressure side of the manifold valve
assembly should be kept closed, otherwise evacuation would fail.

DC Inverter U-match Series Cassette Type Unit
16
(5). The evacuation duration depends on the unit’s capacity, generally, 15 minutes for the 12K
units, 20 minutes for the 18K units, 30 minutes for the 24/30/36K units, 45 minutes for the
45/50/60 units. And verify if the pressure gauge at the low pressure side of the manifold
valve assembly reads -1.0Mp (-75cmHg), if not, it indicates there is leak somewhere. Then,
close the switch fully and then stop the vacuum pump.
(6). Wait for some time to see if the system pressure can remain unchanged, 3 minutes for the
units less than 18K, 5 minutes for the 18K~24K units, 10 minutes for the units more than
45K. During this time, the reading of the pressure gauge at the low pressure side can not
be larger than 0.005Mp (0.38cmHg).
(7). Slightly open the liquid valve and let some refrigerant go to the connection pipe to balance
the pressure inside and outside of the connection pipe, so that air will not come into the
connection pipe when removing the hose. Note that the gas and liquid valve can be opened
fully only after the manifold valve assembly is removed.
(8). Place back the caps of the liquid valve, gas valve and also the service port.
