1-3. SPECIFICATIONS
1-3-1. POWER SUPPLY AND INDOOR/OUTDOOR WIRE CONNECTION
+ Power should be taken from an exclusive branched circuit.
¢ Wiring work should be based on applicable technical standards.
* Wiring connections should be made following the diagram.
* Securely tighten screws.
Connecting wires and the ground wire
« Use solid conductor AWG14 or stranded conductor AWG14.
+ Use double insulated copper wire with 600 V insulation.
+ Use copper conductors only.
* Follow local electrical codes.
Power supply cable and ground wire
« Use solid or stranded conductor AWG14.
+ Use copper conductors only.
* Follow local electrical codes.
Note:
When the indoor unit is powered from the outdoor unit, depending on local code, a
disconnect switch needs to be installed to a power supply circuit.
1-3-2. REFRIGERANT PIPES
* To prevent condensation, insulate the two refrigerant pipes.
« Refrigerant pipe bending radius must be 4 in. (100 mm) or more.
Z\ CAUTION
Be sure to use the insulation of specified thickness (table on the right). Excessive insula-
tion may cause incorrect installation of the indoor unit, and too little insulation may cause
condensate to form.
The unit has flared connections on both indoor and outdoor sides.
Remove the valve cover from the outdoor unit, then connect the pipe.
Refrigerant pipes are used to connect the indoor and outdoor units.
Be careful not to crush or over bend the pipe in pipe bending.
* Refrigerant adjustment... If pipe length exceeds 25 ft. (7.5 m), additional refrigerant
(R410A) charge is required.

blowing snow. In areas with heavy snow, please install
a canopy, a pedestal and/or baffle boards.
Electrical specifications
Note:
* It is advisable to make a piping loop near outdoor unit
so as to reduce vibration.
+ For increased efficiency, install the outdoor unit in a
location where continuous direct sunlight or excessive
water can be avoided as much as possible.
Note:
When operating the air conditioner in low outside tem-
perature, be sure to follow the instructions described
below.
* Never install the outdoor unit in a place where its air
inlet/outlet side may be exposed directly to wind.
* To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor
unit with its air inlet side facing the wall and a baffle
board on the air outlet side.
Avoid the following places for installation where air
conditioner trouble is liable to occur.
+ Where flammable gas could leak.
+ Where there is an excessive amount of machine oil
in the air.
* Salty places such as the seaside.
+ Where sulfide gas is generated such as a hot
spring.
+ Where there is high-frequency or wireless equipment.

2-1. ATTACHING THE INSTALLATION PLATE
Find a stud in the wall to attach installation plate (1) horizontally on the wall with screws (2).
* To prevent installation plate (1) from vibrating, be sure to install the attachment screws
in the holes indicated in the illustration. For added support, additional screws may also
be installed in other holes.
+ When the indoor unit is to be attached to a concrete wall using recessed bolts, secure
installation plate (1) using 7/16 in. x 13/16 in. - 7/16 in. x 1 in. (11 mm x 20 mm: 11 mm
x 26 mm) oval hole (17-3/4 in. [450 mm] pitch).
+ Ifthe recessed bolt is too long, change it for a shorter one (field-supplied).
2-2. DRILLING
1) Determine where the holes will be located on the wall.
2) Drill a @ 3 in. (75 mm) hole. The outdoor side should be 6/32 to 9/32 in. (5 to 7 mm)
lower than the indoor side.
3) Insert wall hole sleeve (C).
2-3. CONNECTING WIRES FOR INDOOR UNIT
Note:
When the indoor unit is powered from the outdoor unit, a disconnect switch may need to
be installed to power supply circuit (between indoor and outdoor unit) depending on local
code.
1) Remove the front panel. (Refer to 5-1.)
2) Hook the upper part of the indoor unit on the installation plate.
3) Remove electrical cover.
4) Remove SW TB cover.
5) Remove corner box.
6) Remove display panel and conduit cover.
7) Fix conduit pipe (for rear piping) / elbow joint (for right, left, or downward piping) to con-
duit plate with lock nut. The thread part of installed conduit pipe / elbow joint appearing
inside should be less than 3/8 in. (10 mm). (Fig. 1) Elbow joint should appear less than
4-3/16 in. (30 mm) outside. (Fig. 2)
8) Process the end of ground wire (Fig. 3). Connect it to the ground terminal of electrical
parts box.
9) Process the end of indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A) (Fig. 3). Fix it to terminal
block. Be careful not to make mis-wiring. Fix the wire to the terminal block securely so
that no part of its core is appeared, and no external force is conveyed to the connecting
section of the terminal block.
10) Firmly tighten the terminal screws to prevent them from loosening. After tightening, pull
the wires lightly to confirm that they do not move.
11) Reinstall display panel and conduit cover.
12) According to the piping direction, cut off the shaded part of the left side of box (Fig. 4)
or corner box (Fig. 5).
13) Reinstall SW TB cover.
14) Reinstall electrical cover.
15) Reinstall front panel.

2-4. PIPE FORMING AND DRAIN PIPING
2-4-1. PIPE FORMING
+ Place the drain hose below the refrigerant piping.
+ Make sure that the drain hose is not crowded or bent.
* Do not pull the hose when applying the tape.
+ When the drain hose passes the room, be sure to wrap it with insulation material (field-
supplied).
Note:
Make sure not to damage the cover of refrigerant pipe when attaching it back on with
screws.
Left or left-rear piping
Note:
Be sure to reattach the drain hose and the drain cap if the piping is being installed on left
or bottom left of unit, otherwise, water could drip down from the drain hose.
1) Place the refrigerant piping and the drain hose together, then firmly apply felt tape (7)
from the end.
Felt tape (7) overlap width should be 1/3 the tape width. Use a bandage stopper at the
end of felt tape (7).
2) Pull out the drain cap at the back right of the indoor unit. (Fig. 1)
* Hold the convex section at the end and pull the drain cap.
3) Pull out the drain hose at the back left of the indoor unit. (Fig. 2)
* Hold the claw marked by the arrows and pull out the drain hose forward.
4) Put the drain cap into the section to which the drain hose is to be attached at the rear of
the indoor unit. (Fig. 3)
* Insert a screwdriver into the hole on the cap and insert the cap fully into the drain
pan.
5) Insert the drain hose fully into the drain pan at the back right of the indoor unit. (Fig. 4)
* Check if the hose is hooked securely to the projection of its inserting part at the
drain pan.
6) Insert the drain hose into wall hole sleeve (C), and attach the upper part of indoor unit
onto the installation plate (1). Then, shift the indoor unit completely to the left to make
placing the piping in the back of the unit easier.
7) Cut out a part of packing material, hook it onto the back rib, and use it as a spacer to lift
the indoor unit. (Fig. 5)
8) Connect the refrigerant piping with the extension pipe (B).
9) Attach the lower part of the indoor unit into the installation plate (1).
Rear or bottom piping
1) Place the refrigerant piping and the drain hose together, then firmly apply piping tape (G)
from the end.
2) Insert the piping and the drain hose into the wall hole sleeve (C), and attach the upper
part of the indoor unit on the installation plate (1).
3) Check if the indoor unit is attached securely on the installation plate (1) by moving the
unit to left and right.
4) Attach the lower part of the indoor unit into the installation plate (1).
Right piping
Note:
Before performing the following, make sure that wiring is completed, and the conduit cover
is installed. (Refer to 2-3.)
1) Place the refrigerant piping and the drain hose together, shift them to left side of the
unit, and then firmly apply piping tape (G) from the end.
2) Insert the piping and the drain hose into the wall hole sleeve (C), and attach the upper
part of the indoor unit on the installation plate (1).
3) Check if the indoor unit is attached securely on the installation plate (1) by moving the
