SAFETY PRECAUTION
MEANINGS OF SYMBOLS DISPLAYED ON THE UNIT
WARNING
Read the OPERATION MANUAL carefully before operation.
Service personnel are required to carefully read the OPERATION MANUAL and INSTALLATION MANUAL before operation.
Further information is available in the OPERATION MANUAL, INSTALLATION MANUAL, and the like.
2-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY
Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply circuits must be disconnected.
2-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO REFRIGERANT
Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R32/R410A
Preparation before the repair service
• Prepare the proper tools.
• Prepare the proper protectors.
• Provide adequate ventilation.
• After stopping the operation of the air conditioner, turn
off the power-supply breaker.
• Discharge the condenser before the work involving the
electric parts.
Use new refrigerant pipes.
In the case of using the existing pipes for R22, be careful
with the following.
· Be sure to clean the pipes and make sure that the insides
of the pipes are clean.
· Change flare nut to the one provided with this product.
Use a newly flared pipe.
· Avoid using thin pipes.
· In the case of reconnecting the refrigerant pipes after
detaching, make the flared part of pipe re-fabricated.
Make sure that the inside and outside of refrige-
rant piping is clean and it has no contaminants
such as sulfur, oxides, dirt, shaving particles,
etc., which are hazard to refrigerant cycle.
In addition, use pipes with specified thickness.
Contamination inside refrigerant piping can cause deterio-
ration of refrigerant oil, etc.
Store the piping indoors, and keep both ends of
the piping sealed until just before brazing.
(Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.)
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that
can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of
compressor.
The refrigerant oil applied to flare and flange
connections must be ester oil, ether oil or
alkylbenzene oil in a small amount.
If large amount of mineral oil enters, that can cause
deterioration of refrigerant oil, etc.
OCH753A
This mark is for R32 refrigerant only. Refrigerant type is written on nameplate of outdoor unit.
Precautions during the repair service
• Do not perform the work involving the electric parts with
wet hands.
• Do not pour water into the electric parts.
• Do not touch the refrigerant.
• Do not touch the hot or cold areas in the refrigerating
cycle.
• When the repair or the inspection of the circuit needs to
be done without turning off the power, exercise great
caution not to touch the live parts.
• When opening or closing the valve below freezing
temperatures, refrigerant may spurt out from the gap
between the valve stem and the valve body, resulting in
injuries.
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 R32/R410A refrigerant.
The following tools are necessary to use R32/R410A
refrigerant.
Tools for R32/R410A
Gauge manifold
Charge hose
Gas leak detector
Torque wrench
Handle tools with care.
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that
can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of
compressor.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of
refrigerant will change and the efficiency will be lowered.
