    Si21-205 Introduction 1. Introduction Safety Cautions Cautions and Be sure to read the following safety cautions before conducting repair work. Warnings The caution items are classified into “ Warning” and “ Caution”. The “ Warning” items are especially important since they can lead to death or serious injury if they are not followed closely.
  • Page 9: Cautions Regarding Products After Repair

    Introduction Si21-205 Caution Do not repair the electrical components with wet hands. Working on the equipment with wet hands can cause an electrical shock. Do not clean the air conditioner by splashing water. Washing the unit with water can cause an electrical shock. Be sure to provide the grounding when repairing the equipment in a humid or wet place, to avoid electrical shocks.
  • Page 10: Inspection After Repair

    Si21-205 Introduction Warning Be sure to use the specified cable to connect between the indoor and outdoor units. Make the connections securely and route the cable properly so that there is no force pulling the cable at the connection terminals. Improper connections can cause excessive heat generation or fire.

Caution: Do not lay cylinder on its side during charging, since it cause refrigerant in gas state to enter the system.
  • Page 40: Service Tools

    Si21-205 Field Piping and Wiring 1.1.3 Service Tools R410A is used under higher working pressure, compared to previous refrigerants (R22,R407C). Furthermore, the refrigerating machine oil has been changed from Suniso oil to Ether oil, and if oil mixing is occurred, sludge results in the refrigerants and causes other problems. Therefore, gauge manifolds and charge hoses that are used with a previous refrigerant (R22,R407C) can not be used for products that use new refrigerants.
