Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously or re-installation, and while repairing refrigeration parts. toxic gas.
Additional Refrigerant (ft.) (ft.) (ft.) (oz./ft.)* CS-KE12NB41 0.16 CS-KE18NB4UW 0.27 * If total tubing length becomes 25 to 65 ft. (Max.) or 25 to 100 ft. (Max.), charge additional refrigerant (R410A) by 0.16 or 0.27 oz./ft. No additional charge of compressor oil is necessary. For more detailed charging information, refer to the Technical & Service Manual.

Use a carpenter’s level to check that the unit is level. 3-2. Suspending the Indoor Unit Suspension bolt (M10 or 3/8") (1) Fix the suspension bolts securely in the ceiling using (locally purchased) the method shown in the diagrams, by attaching...
Twist tie 3-4. Installing the Drain Piping (4 vinyl ties, supplied) Hard PVC pipe Drain hose (1) Prepare standard hard PVC pipe (locally purchased O.D. Position to Drain port (equivalent to insulation O.D. 1-1/32" (26mm)) fasten hose 1-1/32" (26 mm)) for the drain and use the supplied hose (supplied) bands (locally purchased)
3-5. Checking the Drainage Water drain After wiring and drain piping are completed, use the following pro- cedure to check that the water will drain smoothly. For this, pre- pare a bucket and wiping cloth to catch and wipe up spilled water. Be sure to do the wiring between the units before installing the ceiling panel.

3-6-3. Wiring the Ceiling Panel and the Indicator Drain pipe side (1) Remove the 2 screws from the control box cover, then open the cover. Be careful that the cover does not fall. (2) Connect the 5P FLAP wiring connector from the ceiling Control box panel to the connector on the control PCB in the control box.
3-6-5. Checking After Installation Check that there are no gaps between the unit and the ceiling panel, or between the ceiling panel and the ceiling sur- face. Gaps may cause water leakage and condensation. Check that the wiring is securely connected. If it is not securely connected, the auto flap will not operate.

3-9. Wiring Instructions for Inter-unit Connections (1) Remove the 1 screw from the terminal cover, then open the cover. Be careful that the cover does not fall. (2) Remove the 3 screws from the power box cover, then open the cover. Be careful that the cover does not fall. (3) Use the screw to securely fasten the ground wire from the outdoor unit in place.
For stranded wiring (1) Cut the wire end with a cutting pliers, then strip the insulation to expose the stranded wiring about 3/8" (10 mm) and tightly twist the wire ends. (Figs. 11 and 12) (2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on the terminal plate. (3) Using a ring connector fastener or pliers, securely clamp each stripped wire end with a ring connector.
5. Refrigerant Tubing Deburring Before After 5-1. Use of the Flaring Method Many of the conventional split system air conditioners employ the flaring method to connect refrigerant tubes which run between indoor and outdoor units. In this method, the copper tubes are flared at each end and connected with flare nuts.
5-4. Connecting Tubing between Indoor and Torque wrench Outdoor Units a) Tightly connect the indoor side refrigerant tubing exten- Spanner Indoor unit ded from the wall with the outdoor side tubing. (Fig. 21) b) To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque as: Outdoor unit Table 5 Fig.
5-6. Taping the Tubes (1) At this time, the 2 refrigerant tubes (and electrical wire if local codes permit) should be taped together with armoring tape. The drain hose may also be included and taped together as 1 bundle with the tubing. (2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the outdoor unit to the top of the tubing where it enters the wall.

8. Address Switch 8-1. Address Setting of the Remote Controller The address can be set in order to prevent interfer- ence between remote controllers when 2 indoor units are installed near each other. The address is normally set to “A.” To set a different address, it is necessary to change the address on the second remote controller.
