2-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check Use new refrigerant pipes. valve. In case of using the existing pipes for R22, be careful with Vacuum pump oil may flow back into refrigerant cycle and the following: that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil, etc.

[1] Cautions for service (1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely. (2) Do not release refrigerant in the air. (3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant. (4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously. Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant.
2 Dimensions of flare cutting and flare nut The component molecules in HFC refrigerant are smaller compared to conventional refrigerants. In addition to that, R410A is a refrigerant, which has higher risk of leakage because its working pressure is higher than that of other refrig- erants. Therefore, to enhance air tightness and strength, flare cutting dimension of copper pipe for R410A has been specified separately from the dimensions for other refrigerants as shown below. The dimension B of flare nut for R410A also has partly been changed to increase strength as shown below. Set copper pipe correctly referring to copper pipe flaring dimensions for R410A below. For 1/2 and 5/8 inch pipes, the dimension B changes. Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension. Dimension A Dimension B Flare cutting dimensions Flare nut dimensions Dimension A ( Nominal Outside Dimension B Nominal Outside -0.4 dimensions (in) diameter (mm) (in [mm]) R22 (mm) R410A dimensions (in) diameter (mm) (in [mm]) (mm) R410A 11/32-23/64 [ 9.1]...

(Maximum 100 ft [30 m] (A42)/ Maximum 70 ft [21 m] (A12–36)) The refrigerant circuit with LEV(Linear Expansion Valve) and accumulator always control the optimal refrigerant level regardless of the length (A42: 100 ft [30 m] maximum/ A12–36: 70 ft [20 m] maximum and 16 ft [5 m] minimum) of piping. The additional refrigerant charging work during installation often causes problems. It is completely eliminated by chargeless system. This unique system improves the quality and reliability of the work done.

1. Refrigerant collecting (pump down) Perform the following procedures to collect the refrigerant when moving the indoor unit or the outdoor unit. 1 Supply power (circuit breaker). • When power is supplied, make sure that “CENTRALLY CONTROLLED” is not displayed on the remote controller. If “CENTRALLY CONTROLLED” is displayed, the refrigerant collecting (pump down) cannot be completed normally. • Start-up of the indoor-outdoor communication takes about 3 minutes after the power (circuit breaker) is turned on. Start the pump-down operation 3 to 4 minutes after the power (circuit breaker) is turned ON. 2 After the liquid stop valve is closed, set SW1-1 on the control board of the outdoor unit to ON. The compressor (outdoor unit) and ventilators (indoor and outdoor units) start operating and refrigerant collecting operation begins. LED1 and LED2 on the control board of the outdoor unit are lit. • O nly set SW1-1 to ON if the unit is stopped. However, even if the unit is stopped and SW1-1 is set to ON less than three minutes after the compressor stops, the refrigerant collecting operation cannot be performed. Wait until compressor has been stopped for three minutes and then set SW1-1 to ON again. 3 Because the unit automatically stops in about two to three minutes when the refrigerant collecting operation is completed (LED1 off, LED2 lit), be sure to quickly close the gas stop valve. If LED1 is lit and LED2 is off and the outdoor unit is stopped, refrigerant collection is not properly performed. Open the liquid stop valve completely, and then repeat step 2 after three minutes have passed. • I f the refrigerant collecting operation has been completed normally (LED1 off, LED2 lit), the unit will remain stopped until the power supply is turned off. 4 Turn off the power supply (circuit breaker). • Note that when the extension piping is very long with large refrigerant amount, it may not be possible to perform a pump-down operation. Warning: When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes. The compressor may burst if air etc.
