INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R410A REFRIGERANT
• This room air conditioner adopts an HFC refrigerant (R410A) which never destroys the ozone layer.
• Pay particular attention to the following points, though the basic installation procedure is same as that for R22 conditioners.
As R410A has working pressure approximate 1.6 times as high as that of R22, some special tools and piping parts/materi-
als are required. Refer to the table below.
Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R410A refrigerant during storage and installa-
tion, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than R22.
For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts/materials specifically designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant
piping.)
Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent
composition change.
NOTE : The unit of pressure has been changed to MPa on the international system of units (SI unit system).
The conversion factor is: 1 (MPa [Gauge]) =10.2 (kgf/cm2[Gauge])
New Specification Current Specification
The incompatible refrigerant oil easily separates from
refrigerant and is in the upper layer inside the suction muffler.
Raising position of the oil back hole enables to back the
refrigerant oil of the upper layer to flow back to the
compressor.
Since refrigerant and refrigerant oil are compatible with
each other, refrigerant oil backs to the compressor through
the lower position oil back hole.

R410A tools Can R22 tools be used?
Gas leak detector
R410A has high pressures beyond the measurement range of existing
gauges. Port diameters have been changed to prevent any other refrigerant
from being charged into the unit.
Hose material and cap size have been changed to improve the pressure
resistance.
Dedicated for HFC refrigerant.
6.35 mm and 9.52 mm
Description
Clamp bar hole has been enlarged to reinforce the spring strength in the tool.
Provided for flaring work (to be used with R22 flare tool).
Provided to prevent the back flow of oil. This adapter enables you to use
vacuum pumps.
It is difficult to measure R410A with a charging cylinder because the
refrigerant bubbles due to high pressure and high-speed vaporization

1. Tools dedicated for the air conditioner with R410A refrigerant
The following tools are required for R410A refrigerant. Some R22 tools can be substituted for R410A tools.
The diameter of the service port on the stop valve in outdoor unit has been changed to prevent any other refrigerant being
charged into the unit. Cap size has been changed from 7/16 UNF with 20 threads to 1/2 UNF with 20 threads.

• Use a copper pipe or a copper-alloy seamless pipe with a thickness of 0.8 mm. Never use any pipe with a thickness less
than 0.8 mm, as the pressure resistance is insufficient.
Flaring work and flare nut
Flaring work for R410A pipe differs from that for R22 pipe.
For details of flaring work, refer to Installation manual “FLARING WORK”.
3. Refrigerant oil
Apply the special refrigerant oil (accessories: packed with indoor unit) to the flare and the union seat surfaces.
4. Air purge
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation, reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant
circuit.
Use the vacuum pump for air purging for the purpose of environmental protection.
5. Additional charge
For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and
the outdoor unit. In this case, ability of the refrigerating cycle decreases or normal operation can be impossible. However,
charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may cause the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.

6. Pumping Down
When relocating or disposing of the air conditioner, pump down the system by following the procedure below so that no
refrigerant is released into the atmosphere.
1 Turn off the power supply (circuit breaker).
2Connect the gauge manifold valve to the service port of the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
3Fully close the stop valve on the liquid pipe side of the outdoor unit.
4Supply power (circuit breaker).
5 Perform the refrigerant collecting operation (cooling test run).
 •ForthePAR-31MAA,select“Service”→“Testrun”fromthemainmenutostartthetestrun,andthenselectthecooling 
mode.
• For details or for other information about starting the test run when using remote controllers, refer to the installation manual
for the indoor unit or the remote controller.
6 Fully close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit when the pressure gauge shows 0.05 to 0 MPa [Gauge]
(approx. 0.5 to 0 kgf/cm²) and quickly stop the air conditioner.
• Push the “ON/OFF” button on the remote controller to stop the air conditioner.
Notes:
1. When the extension piping is very long with a large refrigerant amount, it may not be possible to perform a pump down
operation. In this case, use refrigerant recovery equipment to collect all of the refrigerant in the system.
2. If the extension piping length for the SUZ-SA100VA is 20 m or longer, it will not be possible to perform a pump-down
operation because there is a large amount of refrigerant. In this case, collect the refrigerant in the system.
7 Turn off the power supply (circuit breaker), remove the gauge manifold valve, and then disconnect the refrigerant pipes.
.Warning: When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes.
• If the refrigerant pipes are disconnected while the compressor is operating and the stop valve (ball valve) is open,
the pressure in the refrigeration cycle could become extremely high if air is drawn in, causing the pipes to burst,
personal injury, etc.
