    1. General information 1.2 Safety 1.2.1  Applied symbols During normal air conditioning system design work or unit installation, greater attention must be paid in certain situations requiring particular care in order to avoid damage to the unit, the installation or the building or property. Situations that jeopardise the safety of those in the surrounding area or that put the unit itself at risk will be clearly indicated in this manual.

    2. Unit Installation 2.1 Safety summary D A N G E R • Install the outdoor unit with sufficient clearance around it for operation and maintenance as shown in the next pages. • Install the outdoor unit where good ventilation is available. • Do not install the outdoor unit where exists a high level of oil mist, salty air or sulphurous atmosphere. • Install the outdoor unit as far as practical (being at least 3 meters) from electromagnetic wave radiator such as medical equipment. • Keep clearance between units of more than 50 mm and avoid obstacles that could hamper air intake when installing more than one unit together. • Install the outdoor unit in the shade or not exposed to direct sunshine or direct radiation from high tempera- ture heat source. • Do not install the outdoor unit in a place where a seasonal wind directly blows into the outdoor fan. • For cleaning use non-inflammable and nontoxic cleaning liquid. Use of inflammable agent may cause explo- sion or fire. • Work with sufficient ventilation. Working in an enclosed space could cause oxygen deficiency. Toxic gas may be produced when cleaning agent is heated to high temperature by e.g. being exposed to fire. • Cleaning liquid shall be collected after cleaning. • Pay attention to do not clamp cables when attaching the service cover to avoid electric shock or fire.

Piping work and refrigerant charge 3.1 General notes before performing pipe work 3.1.1  Piping Materials 1 In order to avoid supply problems in terms of local regulations and quality, prepare locally-supplied copper pipes. N O T E In case of using copper pipes for piping sections bigger than Ø19.05 mm (3/4 inches), flaring work cannot be per- formed. If necessary, use a joint adapter. 2 Select the piping size with the correct thickness and correct material able to withstand sufficient pressure. 3 Select clean copper pipes.

Piping work and refrigerant charge C A U T I O N • Cap the end of the pipe when pipe is to be inserted through a wall hole. • Do not put pipes on the ground directly without a cap or vinyl tape at the end of the pipe. • If piping installation is not completed until next day or over a longer period of time, braze off the ends of the piping and charge with oxygen free nitrogen through a Schrader valve type access fitting to prevent moisture and particle contamination.

    3. Piping work and refrigerant charge 3.1.2  Three principles on refrigerant piping work In case of using refrigerant R410A in the refrigeration cycle, the refrigeration oil should be of a synthetic type one. In order to avoid oxidation, pay much careful attention to basic piping work control to avoid infiltration of moisture or dust during the refrigerant piping work.

    3. Piping work and refrigerant charge 3.1.4  Brazing work The most important work in the refrigerant piping installation work is the brazing of the pipes. If it accidentally occurs a leak- age due to a careless brazing process, it will cause clogged capillary pipes or serious compressor failure. In order to guarantee a proper brazing neck between different pipes surfaces, accurate pipe dimensions after the expan- sion process (see the table below): It is important to control the clearance of the pipe fitting portion as shown below.

It is recommended that oxygen free nitrogen be charged for these types of test cycles when performing a leakage test or an airtight test. These types of gases are extremely dangerous. • Insulate the unions and flare-nuts at the piping connection part completely. • Insulate the liquid piping completely to avoid a decreased performance; if not, it will cause sweating on the surface of the pipe. • Charge refrigerant correctly following the procedures of the manuals. Overcharging or insufficient charging could cause a compressor failure.Insulate the unions and flare-nuts at the piping connection part completely.

Wait three minutes before starting installation or maintenance work. • Make sure that the indoor and outdoor are completely stopped before starting work on the electrical wiring or regular inspections. • Protect cables, drain hose, electric parts, etc. from rodents and insects; otherwise these might damage unpro- tected components and, in the worst case, cause a fire. • Wrap the accessory packing around the wires, and plug the wiring connection hole with the seal material to protect the product from any condensed water and insects. • Do not allow cables to come into contact with the refrigerant pipes, metal edges, printed circuit boards (PCB) or the electric parts inside the unit; the cables may be damaged and, in the worst case, cause a fire. • Tightly secure the wires with the cord clamp inside the indoor unit. • Lead the wires through the knockout hole in the side cover when using conduit. • Secure the cable of the remote control switch with the cord clamp inside the electrical box. • Electrical wiring must comply with national and local codes. Contact your local authority in regards to stan- dards, rules, regulations, etc. D A N G E R • Do not connect of adjust any wiring or connections unless the main power switch is OFF.

N O T E • All compressors are connected by brazing. Check to ensure whether there are flammable things around or not when using a burner for pipe connections if not oil existing pipe inside may ignite. • Do not expose the refrigerant cycle to the atmosphere for a long period in order to avoid mixing the water and foreign particles into the refrigerant cycle. After removing compressor replace it quickly. If exposed for a long period seal the suction pipe and discharge pipe. • Remove the cap for the compressor just before replacing the compressor. Before mounting the compressor seal the suction pipe and discharge pipe with a tape to protect the compressor from foreign particles. Remove the tape at pipe connection. SMGB0079 rev.0 - 01/2013...
