9-3. Outdoor Unit
9-3-1. Installation Place
• A place which provides the spaces around the
outdoor unit as shown in the left diagram.
• A place which can bear the weight of the
outdoor unit and does not allow an increase in
noise level and vibration.
• A place where the operation noise and
discharged air do not disturb your neighbors.
• A place which is not exposed to a strong wind.
• A place free of a leakage of combustible gases.
• A place which does not block a passage.
• When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an
elevated position, be sure to secure its feet.
• An allowable length of the connecting pipe is up 15m.
• An allowable height level is up to 10 m.
• A place where the drain water does not raise
any problem.
CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit without anything
blocking the air discharging.
2. When the outdoor unit is installed in a place
exposed always to a strong wind like a coast or
on a high story of a building, secure the normal
fan operation using a duct or a wind shield.
3. Specially in windy area, install the unit to
prevent the admission of wind.
4. Installation in the following places may result
trouble. Do not install the unit such places.
• A place full of machine oil.
• A saline-place such as coast.
• A place full of sulfide gas.
• A place where high-frequency waves are
likely to be generated
as from audio
equipment,
welders, and

equipment.

Tightening Connection
Align the centers of the connecting pipes and tighten the
flare nut as far as possible with your fingers Then
tighten the nut with a spanner and torque wrench as
shown in the figure.
CAUTION
• Do not apply excess torque. Otherwise, the nut
may crack depending on the conditions.

9-3-3. Evacuating
After the piping has been connected to all indoor unit(s),
you can perform the air purge together at once.
AIR PURGE
Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the
indoor unit using vacuum pump. Do not use the
refrigerant in the outdoor unit. For details, see the
manual of vacuum pump.
Use a vacuum pump
Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-flow
prevention function so that inside oil of the pump does not
flow backward into pipes of the air conditioner when the
pump stops. (If inside oil of the vacuum pump enters into
the air conditioner which adopts R410A, a trouble of the
refrigeration cycle may be caused.)
1. Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve to the
service port of the gas side packed valve.
2. Connect the charge hose to the port of vacuum pump.
3. Open fully the low pressure side handle of the gauge
manifold valve.
4. Operate the vacuum pump to start for evacuating.
Perform evacuating for about 15 minutes if the piping
length is 20 meters. (15 minutes for 20 meters)
(assuming a pump capacity of 27 liters per minute.)
Then confirm that the compound pressure gauge
reading is –101 kPa ( –76 cmHg).

CAUTION
• KEEP IMPORTANT 4 POINTS FOR PIPING WORK
1. Take away dust and moisture
(Inside of the connecting pipes.)
2. Tight connection (between pipes and unit)
3. Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using
VACUUM PUMP.
4. Check gas leak (connected points)
Packed Valve Handling Precautions
• Open the valve stem all the way out; but do not try
to open it beyond the stopper.
• Securely tighten the valve stem cap with torque in

9-3-4. Wiring Connection
1. Remove the electric parts cover from the outdoor
unit.
2. Connect the connecting cable to the terminal as
identified with their respective matched numbers
on the terminal block of indoor and outdoor unit.
3. When connecting the connecting cable to the
outdoor unit terminal, make a loop as shown
installation diagram of indoor and outdoor unit, to
prevent water coming in the outdoor unit.
4. Insulate the unused cords (conductors) with water
coming in the outdoor unit. Process them so that
they do not touch any electrical or metal parts.
