Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A
2-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT
Use new refrigerant pipes.
Make sure that the inside and outside of refrige-
rant piping is clean and it has no contamination
such as sulfur hazardous for use, oxides, dirt,
shaving particles, etc.
In addition, use pipes with specified thickness.
Store the piping to be used during installation
indoors and keep both ends of the piping sealed
until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc.
in their packaging.)
Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene oil (small
amount) as the refrigerant oil applied to flares
and flange connections.
In case of using the existing pipes for R22, be careful with
the followings.
· Be sure to perform replacement operation before test run.
· Change flare nut to the one provided with this product.
Use a newly flared pipe.
· Avoid using thin pipes.
Charge refrigerant from liquid phase of gas
cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from gas phase, composition
change may occur in refrigerant and the efficiency will be
lowered.
Do not use refrigerant other than R410A.
If other refrigerant (R22 etc.) is used, chlorine in refrige-
rant can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check
valve.
Vacuum pump oil may flow back into refrigerant cycle and
that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use the following tools specifically designed for
use with R410A refrigerant.
The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant.
Keep the tools with care.
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of com-
pressor.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of refrigera-
nt will change and the efficiency will be lowered.

Tools for R410A
Contamination inside refrigerant piping can cause deterio-
ration of refrigerant oil etc.
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of com-
pressor.
If large amount of mineral oil enters, that can cause deterio-
ration of refrigerant oil etc.
Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during
operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with
a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
[1] Cautions for service
(1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely.
(2) Do not release refrigerant in the air.
(3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant.
(4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously.
Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant.
[2] Additional refrigerant charge
When charging directly from cylinder
· Check that cylinder for R410A on the market is syphon type.
· Charging should be performed with the cylinder of syphon stood vertically. (Refrigerant is charged from liquid phase.)
2-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY
Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply
circuits must be disconnected.

This air conditioner can detect refrigerant leakage which may happen during a long period of use. In order to enable the
leakage detection, settings are required to let the unit memorize the initial conditions(initial learning). Refer to 13-3. INITIAL
SETTINGS FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE DETECTION FUNCTION.

2-3. PRECAUTIONS WHEN REUSING EXISTING R22 REFRIGERANT PIPES
(1) Flowchart
Connecting a new air conditioner
Flaring work should be done so that flare meets the dimension for R410A.
·Use flare nut provided with indoor and outdoor unit.
When using gas piping of :19.05mm for HRP100, 125
·Make sure that DIP SW8-1 on outdoor unit controller board is set to ON.
This is to keep the pressure on pipes within permissible range.
LUse different diameter joint or adjust the piping size by brazing.
When using pipes larger than specified size for HRP71
·Make sure that DIP SW8-1 on outdoor unit controller board is set to ON.

This is to prevent oil flow ratio from lowering due to the decrease in flowing refrigerant.
LUse different diameter joint or adjust the piping size by brazing.
When existing pipes are specified size
·The pipes can be reused referring to TECHNICAL DATA BOOK.
LUse different diameter joint or adjust the piping size by brazing.
(When using existing pipes for HRP71, 100, 125
·Make sure that DIP SW8-2 on outdoor unit controller board is set to ON and perform
replacement operation.
+Chemical compounds containing chlorine left in existing pipes are recovered by replace filter.
LThe air conditioner automatically performs cooling operation through replace filter for about 2 hours.
Measure the existing pipe thickness and check for damage.
Check if existing air conditioner can operate.
The existing pipe thickness meets speci-
fications and the pipes are not damaged.
The existing pipe thickness does not meet
specifications or the pipes are damaged.
Existing pipes cannot be
reused. Use new pipes.
+In case that existing pipes were used
for gas or oil heat pump system,
be sure to clean the pipes for
HRP71, 100, 125 models.
Existing air conditioner can
operate.
Disconnect existing air con-
ditioner from piping.
Existing pipes can be reused.
Perform cooling operation
for about 30 minutes and
then do a pump down work.
Connect a new air conditioner.
Perform replacement operation.
·When performing replacement operation, make sure that DIP SW8-2 on outdoor unit controller board is
set to ON.
+Chemical compounds containing chlorine left in existing pipes are collected by replace filter.
The air conditioner automatically performs cooling operation through replace filter for about 2 hours.

(2) Cautions for refrigerant piping work
New refrigerant R410A is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R410A is same
as for R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the working
pressure of R410A is 1.6 time higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.
Thickness of pipes
Because the working pressure of R410A is higher compared to R22, be sure to use refrigerant piping with thickness
shown below. (Never use pipes of 0.7mm or below.)
Dimensions of flare cutting and flare nut
The component molecules in HFC refrigerant are smaller compared to conventional refrigerants. In addition to that,
R410A is a refrigerant, which has higher risk of leakage because its working pressure is higher than that of other refriger-
ants. Therefore, to enhance airtightness and intensity, flare cutting dimension of copper pipe for R410A have been speci-
fied separately from the dimensions for other refrigerants as shown below. The dimension B of flare nut for R410A also
has partly been changed to increase intensity as shown below. Set copper pipe correctly referring to copper pipe flaring
dimensions for R410A below. For 1/2 and 5/8 inch, the dimension B changes.
Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension.

HIGH HEATING CAPACITY
Industry-first flash injection circuit is equipped, which enables to
keep the equal capacity with the rating even when outside tem-
perature is -15.
HIGH SPEED HEATING START UP
The performance of heating start up is improved. Compared to
RP type, Zubadan reduced the time for heating start up by about
half. After starting operation, the airflow temperature goes up to
45quickly in 10 minutes. With industry-first shorter and less
frequent defrost, defrosting time is cut down by 15% compared
to RP type and heating operation can continuously run for maxi-
mum 150 minutes.
WIDE HEATING RANGE
The heating range is expanded to -25compared to RP type
which is up to -20.
CHARGELESS SYSTEM
PRE-CHARGED REFRIGERANT IS SUPPLIED FOR PIPING LENGTH AT SHIPMENT.
Max.30m(PUHZ-HRP71/100/125)
The refrigerant circuit with LEV(Linear Expansion Valve) and power receiver always control the optimal refrigerant level
regardless of the length (30m max. and 5m min.) of piping. The additional refrigerant charging work during installation often
causes problems. It is completely eliminated by chargelss system. This unique system improves the quality and reliability of
the work done. It also helps to speed up the installation time.
