SAFETY PRECAUTION

G Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.
G The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.
!
WARNING ........ Incorrect methods of installation may cause death or serious injury.
CAUTION ......... Improper installation may result in serious consequence.
!
Be sure that the unit operates in proper condition after installation. Explain to customer the proper way of operating
the unit as described in the user's guide.
This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
(1) Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant (R22) models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special.
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant (R22) model with a new refrigerant R410A model, always replace the conventional piping and flare nuts with the
R410A piping and flare nuts.
(2) Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous charging with conventional refrigerant (R22) and for safety. Therefore,
check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch.]
(3) Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than with refrigerant (R22) models. Also, when storing the piping, securely seal the
openings by pinching, taping, etc.
(4) When charging the refrigerant, take into account the slight change in the composition of the gas and liquid phases, and always charge from the liquid phase side whose
composition is stable.
G Please request your sales agent or qualified technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or fire may occur if you do the installation work yourself.
G
Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may cause water leakage, electric shock and
fire.
G
Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not, the units may collapse and impose danger.
G Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when dealing with the electrical work. Use power
cables approved by the authorities of your country.
G
Be sure to use the specified wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight after the conductors of the wire are inserted
into the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating and fire.
G
Please use the specified components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage, electric shock and fire may occur.
G Be sure to use the specified piping set for R-410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.
G
When installing or removing an air conditioner, only specified refrigerant (R410A) shall be allowed, do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle.
Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a rupture may be caused.
G Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire, a poisonous gas may occur.
G
After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming into contact with
fire in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
G
Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a qualified air conditioner technician or electrician. Improper
repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and fire, etc.
!
G
A circuit breaker or fuse (16A time delay) must be installed. Without a circuit breaker or fuse the danger of electric shock exists.
A main switch with a contact gap of more than 3mm has to be installed in the power supply line to the outdoor unit.
G
Do not install the unit near a location where there is flammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch fire if flammable gas leaks around it.
G
Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.
G
Piping shall be suitable supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.

!
G The draining of the water container inside the indoor unit can be done from the left.
Therefore the hanger must be fixed horizontally or slightly tilted towards the side of
drain hose. Otherwise, condensed water may overflow the water container.
