the panel.
- If the cover and panel are not installed properly,
dust or water may enter the outdoor unit and fire
or electric shock may result.
When installing and moving the air condition-
er to another site, do not charge it with a
refrigerant different from the refrigerant
(R407C) specified on the unit.
- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the
original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may
malfunction and the unit may be damaged.
If the air conditioner is installed in a small
room, measures must be taken to prevent the
refrigerant concentration from exceeding the
safety limit when the refrigerant leaks.
- Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate
measures to prevent the safety limit from being
exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause
the safety limit to be exceeded, hazards due to
lack of oxygen in the room could result.

The method of connection consists of flare connections at the indoor units, brazing connections for the piping of
the outdoor unit. Note that the branched sections are brazed.
WARNING
Always use extreme care to prevent the refrigerant gas (R407C) from the leakage while using fire or
flame. If the refrigerant gas comes in contact with the flame from any source, such as a gas stove, it
breaks down and generates a poisonous gas which can cause gas poisoning. Never weld in an
unventilated room. Always conduct an inspection for gas leakage after installation of the refrigerant
piping has been completed.
1. Use the following materials for refrigeration piping.
•Material: Seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper pipe
2. Commercially available piping often contains dust and other materials. Always blow it clean with a
dry inert gas.
3. Use care to prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the piping during installation.
4. Reduce the number of bending portions as much as possible, and make bending radius as big as
possible.
5. Always use the branch piping set shown below, which are sold separately.
6. If the diameters of the branch piping of the designated refrigerant piping differs, use a pipe cutter to cut
the connecting section and then use an adapter for connecting different diameters to connect the piping.
7. Always observe the restrictions on the refrigerant piping (such as rated length, the difference between
high/low pressures, and piping diameter).
Failure to do so can result in equipment failure or a decline in heating/cooling performance.
8. A second branch cannot be made after a header. (These are shown by X.)
Areas of caution

20 Outdoor Unit
Refrigerant piping installation
9. Always use good-quality materials for brazing.
10. The Multi V Series will stop due to an abnormality like excessive or insufficient refrigerant. At such a time,
always properly charge the refrigerant to the system. When servicing, always check the notes concerning
pipe length and amount of additional refrigerant at both locations.
11. Never perform a pump down. This will not only damage the compressor but also deteriorate the per-
formance.
12. Never use refrigerant to perform an air purge. Always evacuate using a vacuum pump.
13. Always insulate the piping properly. Insufficient insulation will result in a decline in heating/cooling perfor-
mance, water drops from condensation and other such problems.
14. When connecting the refrigerant piping, make sure the service valves of the outdoor unit is completely
closed (the factory setting) and do not operate it until the refrigerant piping for the outdoor and indoor units
has been connected, a refrigerant leakage test has been performed and the evacuation process has been
completed.
15. Always use a non-oxidizing brazing material for brazing the parts. If a non-oxidizing brazing material is not
used, it could cause clogging or damage to the compressor unit.
16. Charge Nitrogen gas for pipe not to be oxidized during brazing.
17. Connect a strainer (Filter/Drier) to liquid pipe outside of service port
- strainer (Filter/Drier): DANFOSS product.
18. When recharging refrigerant, the drier in outdoor unit should be replaced.
WARNING
When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, be sure to make refrigerant recharged
after perfect evacuation.
- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and
the unit may be damaged.
CAUTION
When connecting the piping from outdoor unit(CRUN1008T0), the pipe withdraw hole of front panel
should be cut, the cutout section is so sharp that it may cause an wound on finger.
- The cut section should be eliminated and smooth.
