4.1. Precautions for devices that use R410A refrigerant
• Refer to 1.5. for precautions not included below on using air conditioners
with R410A refrigerant.
• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration
oil applied to the fl ared sections.
• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless
pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Use refrigerant pipes with the
thicknesses specifi ed in the table on the right. Make sure the insides of the
pipes are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sul-
furic compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust.
Always apply no-oxidation brazing when brazing the pipes, otherwise, the
compressor will be damaged.

• Make sure that the length of the foundation bolt is within 30 mm of the bottom

surface of the base.
• Secure the base of the unit fi rmly with four-M10 foundation bolts in sturdy loca-
tions.
Installing the outdoor unit
• Do not block the vent. If the vent is blocked, operation will be hindered and
breakdown may result.
• In addition to the unit base, use the installation holes on the back of the unit to
attach wires, etc., if necessary to install the unit. Use self-tapping screws (ø5 ×
15 mm or less) and install on site.
Warning:
• The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its
weight. If the unit is mounted on an unstable structure, it may fall down
and cause damage or injuries.
• The unit must be installed according to the instructions in order to mini-
mize the risk of damage from earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An
incorrectly installed unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.

Warning:
When installing or relocating, or servicing the outdoor unit, use only the
specifi ed refrigerant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with
any other refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines.
If air is mixed with the refrigerant, then it can be the cause of abnormal high
pressure in the refrigerant line, and may result in an explosion and other haz-
ards.
The use of any refrigerant other than that specifi ed for the system will cause
mechanical failure or system malfunction or unit breakdown. In the worst
case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.
