Installation
Indoor unit
1. Do not have any heat or steam near the unit.
2. Select a place where there are no obstacles in front
of the unit.
3. Make sure that condensation drainage can be conve-
niently routed away.
4. Do not install near a doorway.
5. Ensure that the interval between a wall and the left
(or right) of the unit is more than 50cm. The unit
should be installed as high as possible on the wall,
allowing a minimum of 10cm from ceiling.
6. Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unneces-
sary damage to the wall.
Outdoor unit
1. If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct
sunlight or rain exposure, make sure that heat radia-
tion from the condenser is not restricted.
2. Ensure that the space around the back and sides is
more than 10cm. The front of the unit should have
more than 70cm of space.
3. Do not place animals and plants in the path of the
warm air.
4. Take the weight of the air conditioner into account
and select a place where noise and vibration are min-
imum.
5. Select a place where the warm air and noise from the
air conditioner do not disturb neighbors.

Installation
The wall you select should be strong and solid
enough to prevent vibration
1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with
type "A" screws. If mounting the unit on a concrete
wall, use anchor bolts.
•Mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning
the centerline using a level.
2. Measure the wall and mark the centerline. It is also
important to use caution concerning the location of
the installation plate-routing of the wiring to power
outlets is through the walls typically. Drilling the
hole through the wall for piping connections must
be done safely.

Flaring Work
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable.
1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased locally.
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor
unit.
3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
Burrs removal
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of
pipe/tube.
2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward direction
as you remove burrs in order to avoid dropping burrs into the
tubing.
Putting nut on
•Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor unit, then
put them on pipe/tube having completed burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
Flaring work
1. Firmly hold copper pipe in a die in the dimension shown in the table below.
2. Carry out flaring work with the flaring tool.

Check
1. Compare the flared work with the figure by.
2. If a flared section is defective, cut it off and do flaring
work again.
Indoor
1. Prepare the indoor unit's piping and drain hose for installation through the wall.
2. Remove the plastic tubing retainer(see the illustration
by) and pull the tubing and drain hose away from
chassis.
3. Replace only the plastic tubing holder 1, not the hold-
er 2 in the original position.
1. Route the indoor tubing and the drain hose in the
direction of rear right.
2.
Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit from the
outdoor unit through the piping hole.
•Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.
•Make a small loop with the cable for easy connec-
tion later.
3. Tape the tubing, drain hose, and the connecting
cable. Be sure that the drain hose is located at the
lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the uper side
can cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.
If the drain hose is routed inside the room, insulate the
hose with an insulation material* so that dripping from
"sweating"(condensation) will not damage furniture or
floors.
*Foamed polyethylene or equivalent is recommended.

4. Indoor unit installation
Hook the indoor unit onto the upper portion of the
installation plate.(Engage the two hooks of the rear
top of the indoor unit with the upper edge of the
installation plate.) Ensure that the hooks are properly
seated on the installation plate by moving it left and
right.

the installation plate until the hooks engage into their
slots(clicking sound).
Connecting the piping to the indoor unit and drain
hose to drain pipe.
1. Align the center of the pipes and sufficiently tighten
the flare nut by hand.
2. Tighten the flare nut with a wrench.
3. Mount the clamp on the boss with a type "B"
screw.(optional)
4. When extending the drain hose at the indoor unit,
install the drain pipe.
Wrap the insulation material around the connecting
portion.
1. Overlap the connection pipe insulation material and
the indoor unit pipe insulation material. Bind them
together with vinyl tape so that there may be no gap.
2. Wrap the area which accommodates the rear piping
housing section with vinyl tape.
3. Bundle the piping and drain hose together by wrap-
ping them with vinyl tape for enough to cover where
they fit into the rear piping housing section.

Connect the cable to the Indoor unit.
Connecting the cable between indoor unit and outdoor unit
Connect the cable to the indoor unit by connecting the wires to the terminals on the control board individually
according to the outdoor unit connection. (Ensure that the color of the wires of the outdoor unit and the terminal No.
are the same as those of the indoor unit.)
•The above circuit diagram is subject to change without notice.
•The earth wire should be longer than the common wires.
•When installing, refer to the circuit diagram behind the panel front of the indoor unit.
•Connect the wires firmly so that they may not be pulled out easily.
•Connect the wires according to color codes, referring to the wiring diagram.
If a power plug is not used, provide a circuit
breaker between power source and the unit as
shown by.
The power cord connected to the "A" unit should be selected according to the following specifications(Type "B"
approved by HAR or SAA).
The power connecting cable connecting the indoor and outdoor unit should be selected according to the following

trol board individually.
Secure the cable onto the control board with
the cord clamp.
Refix the control cover to the original position

After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring,
be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control cover.
2) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from vibrations
to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them and make sure that they are
all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could cause burn-out of the wires.)
3) Specification of power source.
4) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
5) See to that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage marked on the
name plate.
6) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power source specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness. (Refer to page 21))
7) Always install an earth leakage circuit breaker in a wet or moist area.
8) The following would be caused by voltage drop.
•Vibration of a magnetic switch, which will damage the contact point, fuse breaking, disturbance of the normal func-
tion of the overload.
9) The means for disconnection from a power supply shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring and have an air
gap contact separation of at least 3mm in each active(phase) conductors.
