,f the outdoor unit is installed in a small room
measures must be taken to prevent the refriger-
ant concentration in the room from e[ceeding the
safety limit in the event of refrigerant leakage. &on-
sult a dealer regarding the appropriate measures
to prevent the alloZable concentration from being
e[ceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the
concentration limit to be e[ceededhazards due to
lack of o[ygen in the room may result.
9entilate the room if refrigerant leaks during opera-
tion. ,f refrigerant comes into contact Zith a Àame
poisonous gases Zill be released.
$ll electric Zork must be performed by a Tuali¿ed
technician according to local regulations and the
instructions given in this manual. The units must be
poZered by dedicated poZer lines and the correct
voltage and circuit breakers must be used. 3oZer
lines Zith insuf¿cient capacity or incorrect electri-
cal Zork may result in electric shock or ¿re.
Use &1 copper phosphorusfor copper and cop-
per alloy seamless pipesto connect the refriger-
ant pipes. ,f the pipes are not connected correctly
the unit Zill not be properly grounded and electric
shock may result.
Use only speci¿ed cables for Ziring. The Ziring
connections must be made securely Zith no ten-
sion applied on the terminal connections. $lso
never splice the cables for Ziring unless otherZise
indicated in this document.
Failure to observe these instructions may result in
overheating or a ¿re.
The terminal block cover panel of the outdoor unit
must be ¿rmly attached. ,f the cover panel is mount-
ed incorrectly and dust and moisture enter the unit
electric shock or ¿re may result.
When installing or relocatingor servicing the out-
door unituse only the speci¿ed refrigerant 51$
to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mi[it Zith any
other refrigerant and do not alloZair to remain in
the lines.
,f air is mi[ed Zith the refrigerantthen it can be the
cause of abnormal high pressure in the refrigerant
lineand may result in an e[plosion and other haz-
ards.
The use of any refrigerant other than that speci-
¿ed for the system Zill cause mechanical failure or
system malfunction or unit breakdoZn. ,n the Zorst
casethis could lead to a serious impediment to se-
curing product safety.
Use only accessories authorized by 0itsubishi
Electric and ask a dealer or an authorized techni-
cian to install them. ,f accessories are incorrectly

1. Safety precautions
&aution:
Do not use the unit in an unusual environment. ,f the
outdoor unit is installed in areas e[posed to steam
volatile oil including machine oil or sulfuric gas
areas e[posed to high salt content such as the
seasideor areas Zhere the unit Zill be covered by
snoZ the performance can be signi¿cantly reduced
and the internal parts can be damaged.
Do not install the unit Zhere combustible gases
may leakbe producedÀoZ or accumulate. ,f com-
bustible gas accumulates around the unit¿re or
e[plosion may result.
The outdoor unit produces condensation during
the heating operation. Make sure to provide drain-
age around the outdoor unit if such condensation is
likely to cause damage.
When installing the unit in a hospital or communi-
cations of¿cebe prepared for noise and electronic
interference. ,nvertershome applianceshigh-
freTuency medical eTuipmentand radio commu-
nications eTuipment can cause the outdoor unit to
malfunction or breakdoZn. The outdoor unit may
also affect medical eTuipmentdisturbing medical
