Installation Location

• A location which provides enough spaces around the outdoor unit as
shown in the diagram above.
• A location which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and does not
allow an increase in noise level and vibration.
• A location where the operation noise and discharged air do not disturb
your neighbors.
• A location which is not exposed to a strong winds.
• A location free of combustible gases leaks.
• A location which does not block a passage.
• A location where drain water does not cause any problems.
• Depending on snow level, use a fi eld fabricated ice or snow stand.
• When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an elevated position, be sure to
secure its feet as described in the section above.
Precautions about Installation in Regions
with Snowfall and Cold Temperatures
• Do not use the supplied drain nipple for draining water. Drain the water
from all drain holes directly.
• To protect the outdoor unit from snow accumulation, install a holding
frame, and attach a snow protection hood and plate.
* Do not use a double-stacked design.

CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit in a location where there are no obstructions
near its air intake or air outlet.
2. When the outdoor units is installed in a place that is always exposed
to strong winds like on the coast or on a high story of a building, use
a fi eld fabricated wind baffl e. To minimize the effect of strong winds,
specially in windy areas, install the unit as shown below.

Refrigerant Piping Connection

Align the centers of the connecting pipes and tighten the fl are nut as far as
possible with your fi ngers. Then tighten the nut with a two wrenches as show
below.

• Tightening torque for connection of fl are pipe
The pressure of R410A is higher than
R22. (Approx. 1.6 times.) Therefore
securely tighten the fl are pipes
which connect the outdoor unit and
the indoor unit with the specifi ed
tightening torque using a torque
wrench.

Wiring Connection

NOTE
All wiring and connections must comply with NEC, CEC, and local codes.
• Connect all wires to the correct terminal on the wiring terminal blocks.
• Make sure that all connectors are secure.
• Size connectors per the ratings listed in the system requirement section.
• System interconnections should be minimum AWG14.
1. MOUNT THE OUTDOOR UNIT POWER DISCONNECT.
2. RUN POWER WIRING FROM MAIN BOX TO DISCONNECT PER NEC
AND LOCAL CODES.
3. Remove the valve cover and the cord clamp from the outdoor unit.
4. Fix conduit connector to conduit plate by lock nut and secure it tightly.
Connect the power supply and connecting cables to the terminal block as
shown in the fi gure below and secure it tightly with screws.
5. You should not have extra cables.
6. Secure the power cord and the connecting cable with the cord clamp.
7. Attach the electric parts cover and the valve cover to the outdoor unit.
8. RUN PIPING AND INTERCONNECTING CABLE TO THE INDOOR
UNIT.
