Safety Notices
WARNING (SPLIT MODELS ONLY)
Do not discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere if refrigerant leaks during installation, ventilate the room.
Use appropriate tools for high pressure refrigerant.
When pumping down refrigerant , stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes.
During installation securely fasten the refrigerant pipes before starting the compressor.
Check that refrigerant gas does not leak after the completion of installation.
Use R410A refrigerant only. Do not allow air to enter the lines. Failure to observe these instructions will cause mechanical failure, system failure or, in the worst case,
serious breach of product safety.
CAUTION (SPLIT MODELS ONLY)
<Using R410A refrigerant heat pumps>
Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Make sure the insides of the pipes are clean and do not
contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust. Use pipes with the specified thickness. (Refer to 4.4.) Note the following if reus-
ing existing pipes that carried R22 refrigerant.
- Replace the existing flare nuts and flare the flared sections again.
- Do not use thin pipes. (Refer to 4.4.)
Store the pipes to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of the pipes sealed until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.) If
dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, oil deterioration or compressor breakdown may result.
Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration oil applied to the flared sections. If mineral oil is mixed in the refrigeration oil, oil deterioration
may result.
Do not use refrigerant other than R410A refrigerant. If another refrigerant is used, the chlorine will cause the oil to deteriorate.
Use the following tools specifically designed for use with R410A refrigerant. The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant. Contact your nearest dealer for
any questions.
Tools (for R410A)
Gauge manifold Flare tool
Charge hose Size adjustment gauge
Gas leak detector Vacuum pump adapter
Torque wrench Electronic refrigerant charging scale
Be sure to use the correct tools. If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, refrigeration oil deterioration may result.
Do not use a charging cylinder, a cylindrical measuring container, when charging R410A refrigerant gas. If the refrigerant gas is transferred to a charging cylinder, the
composition of the refrigerant will change and system efficiency will be reduced.
