future reference.
1. Do not install outdoor unit near handrail of veranda. When installing air-
conditioner unit at veranda of high rise
building, child may climb up to outdoor unit and cross over the handrail and causing accident.
2. Do not use unspecified cord, modified cord, joint cord or extension cord for power supply cord. Do not share
the single outlet with other appliances. Poor contact, poor insulation or over current will cause electrical
shock or fire.
3. Do not tie up the power supply cord into a bundle by hand. Abnormal temperature rise on power supply cord
may happen.
4. Do not insert your fingers or other objects into the unit, high speed rotating fan may cause
injury.
5. Do not sit or step on the unit, you may fall down accidentally.
6. Keep plastic bag (packaging material) away from small children, it may cling to nose and mouth and prevent
breathing.
7. When install or relocate air conditioner, do not let any substance other than the specified refrigerant, eg. air
etc. mix into refrigeration cycle (piping). Mixing of air etc. will cause abnormal high pressure in refrigeration
cycle and result in explosio.
8. Do not modify the machine, part, material during repairing service.
9. • For R410A models, when connecting the piping, do not use any existing (R22) pipes and flare nuts. Using
such same may cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigeration cycle (piping), and possibly result in
explosion and injury. Use only R410A materials.
• Thickness or copper pipes used with R410A must be more than 0.8 mm. Never use copper pipes thinner than
0.8 mm
• It is desirable that the amount of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10 m.
10. Engage dealer or specialist for installation. If installation done by the user is defective, it will cause water
leakage, electrical shock or fire.
11. Install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water leakage,
electrical shock or fire.
12. Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for installation. Otherwise, it will cause the set to fall,
water leakage, fire or electrical shock.
13. Install at a strong and firm location which is able to withstand the set’s weight. If the strength is not enough
or installation is not properly done, the set will drop and cause injury.
14. For electrical work, follow the local national wiring standard, regulation and this installation instruction. An
independent circuit and single outlet must be used. If electrical circuit capacity is not enough or defect found
in electrical work, it will cause electrical shock or fire.
15. Do not use joint cable for indoor/outdoor connection cable. Use the specified Indoor/Outdoor connection
cable, refer to installation instructions CONNECT THE CABLE TO THE INDOOR UNIT and connect tightly
for indoor / outdoor connection. Clamp the cable so that no external force will be acted on the terminal. If
connection or fixing is not perfect, it will cause heat up or fire at the connection.
Symbol with white background denotes item that is PROHIBITED from doing.
Symbol with dark background denotes item that must be carried out.

Residual Current Device (RCD). Otherwise, it may cause electrical shock and fire in case equipment
breakdown or insulation breakdown.
18. During installation, install the refrigerant piping properly before running the compressor. Operation of
compressor without fixing refrigeration piping and valves at opened condition will cause suck-in of air,
abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
19. During pump down operation, stop the compressor before remove the refrigeration piping. Removal of
refrigeration piping while compressor is operating and valves are opened will cause suck-in of air, abnormal
high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
20. Tighten the flare nut with torque wrench according to specified method. If the flare nut is over-
tightened, after
a long period, the flare may break and cause refrigerant gas leakage.
21. After completion of installation or service, confirm there is no leakage of refrigerant gas. It may generate
toxic gas when the refrigerant contacts with fire.

24. The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
25. Indoor unit must be installed close against the wall.
26. When carrying out piping connection, take care not to let air substances other than the specified refrigerant
go into refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, it will cause lower capacity, abnormal high pressure in the
refrigeration cycle, explosion and injury.
27. Must not use other parts except original parts describe in catalog and manual.
28. This equipment must be properly earthed. Earth line must not be connected to gas pipe, water pipe, earth of
lightning rod and telephone. Otherwise, it may cause electrical shock in case equipment breakdown or
insulation breakdown.

9.2.1 How to Fix Installation Plate
The mounting wall is strong and solid enough to prevent it from the vibration.
The centre of installation plate should be at more
than 450 mm at right and left of the wall.
The distance from installation plate edge to
ceiling should more than 175mm.
From installation plate left edge to unit’s left side
is 178 mm.
From installation plate right edge to unit’s right
side is 182 mm.
: For left side piping, piping connection for liquid should be about 136 mm from this line.
: For left side piping, piping connection for gas should be about 168 mm from this line.
1 Mount the installation plate on the wall with 5 screws or more. (If mounting the unit on the wall, consider
using anchor bolts.) Always mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning the marking-off line with
the thread and using a level gauge.
2 Drill the piping plate hole with ø70 mm hole-core drill.
Put measuring tape at position as shown in the diagram above. The hole centre is
obtained by measuring the distance namely 120 mm for left and right hole respectively.
Drill the piping plate hole at either the right or left and the hole should be slightly slanted
to the outdoor side.
9.2.2 To Drill a Hole in the Wall and Install a Sleeve of Piping
1 Insert the piping sleeve to the hole.
2 Fix the busing to the sleeve.
3 Cut the sleeve until it extrudes about 15mm from the wall
4 Finish by sealing the sleeve with putty or caulking compound at the
final stage.
Caution
When the wall is hollow, please be sure to use the sleeve for tube
ass’y to prevent dangers caused by mice biting the connecting
cable.

9.2.4 Connect the Cable to the Indoor Unit
1 The inside and outside connecting cable can be connected without removing the front grille.
2 Connecting cable between indoor unit and outdoor unit shall be approved polychloroprene sheathed 4x
1.5mm
2
flexible cords, type designation 245 IEC 57 or heavier cord.
Ensure the color of wires of outdoor unit and the terminal numbers are the same to the indoor’s
respectively.
Earth lead wire shall be longer than the other lead wires as shown in the figure for the electrical safety
in case of the slipping out of the cord from the anchorage.
Secure the cable onto the board with the holder (clamper).
3 Wire stripping and connecting requirement.
9.3 Outdoor Unit
9.3.1 Install the Outdoor Unit
•After selecting the best location, start installation according to
indoor/outdoor unit installation diagram.
1 Fix the unit on concrete or rigid frame firmly and horizontally
by bolt nut (ø10 mm).
2 When installing at roof, please consider strong wind and
earthquake. Please fasten the installation stand firmly with
bolt or nails.
9.3.2 Connecting the Piping
9.3.2.1 Connecting the piping to indoor unit
Please make flare after inserting flare nut (locate at joint portion, of tube assembly) onto the copper pipe. (In case of
using long piping)
Connect the piping
•Align the center of piping and sufficiently tighten the flare nut with fingers.
•Further tighten the flare nut with torque wrench in specified torque as stated in the table.
Connecting the piping to outdoor unit
Decide piping length and then cut by using pipe cutter. Remove burrs from cut edge. Make flare after inserting the
flare nut (locate at valve) onto the copper pipe. Align center of piping to valves and then tighten with torque wrench to
the specified torque as stated in the table.
Caution: Do not over tighten. Over
tightening cause gas leakage
Piping size Torque
6.35mm (1/4”) 18 N• m (1.8kgf•m)

9.3.2.2 Cutting and flaring the piping
1 Please cut using pipe cutter and then remove the burrs.
2 Remove the burrs by using reamer. If burrs are not removed, gas leakage may be caused. Turn the piping
end down to avoid the metal powder entering the pipe.
3 Please make flare after inserting the flare nut onto the copper pipes.
9.3.3 Evacuation of the equipment
When installing an air conditioner, be sure to evacuate the air inside the indoor unit and pipes in the follwing
procidure.
1 Connect a charging hose with a push pin to the low side of a charging set and the service port at the 3-way
valve.
Be sure to connect the end of charging hose with the push pin to the service port.
2 Connect the center hose of the charging set to a vacuum pump with check valve, or vacuum pump and
vacuum pump adaptor.
3 Turn on the power switch of the vacuum pump and make sure that the needle in the gauge moves from 0
cmHg (0 Mpa) to -76 cmHg (-0.1 Mpa). Then evacuate the air approximately ten minutes.
4 Close the Low side valve of the charging set and turn off the vacuum pump. Make sure that the needle in the
gauge does not move after approximately five minutes.
Note: BE SURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE IN ORDER TO AVOID REFRIGEANT GAS LEAKAG
5 Disconnect the charging horse from the vacuum pump and from the service port of the 3-way valve.
6 Tighten the service port caps of the 3-way valve at a torque of 18 N.m with a torque wrench.
7 Remove the valve caps of both of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve. Position both of the valves to “OPEN”
using a hexagonal wrench (4mm).
8 Mount valve caps onto the 2-way and the 3-way valve.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
CAUTION:
● If gauge needle does not move from 0 cmHg (0 MPa) to -76 cmHg (-0.1 MPa), in step 3 above take the following
measure:
● If the leak stops when the piping connections are tightened further, continue working from step 3.
● If the leak does not stop when the connections are retightened, repair the location of leak.
● Do not release refrigerant during piping work for installation and reinstallation. Take care of the liquid refrigerant,
it may cause frostbite.
