Connecting Refrigerant Pipes - Mitsubishi Electric CMB-P-NU-J1 Installation Manual

5.2. Connecting refrigerant pipes

1. Connect the liquid and gas pipes of each indoor unit to the same (correct)
section of each BC controller. If connected to wrong end connection
numbers, there will be no normal operation.
2. List indoor unit model names in the name plate on the BC controller control
and address numbers in the name plate on the indoor unit side.
3. If the number of connected indoor units is less than the number of branch
holes, it does not matter which end connections you leave.
were capped when shipped from the factory. Not replacing on end cap will
lead to refrigerant leakage.
4. When using CMY-Y102S-G2, CMY-Y102L-G2, CMY-Y202S-G2, CMY-
R201S-G, CMY-R202S-G, CMY-R203S-G, CMY-R204S-G, or CMY-
R205S-G, connect it horizontally.
5. Restriction on installing the 2-Branch Joint Pipe CMY-R201/202/203/204/
205S-G on the high-pressure piping, low-pressure piping, and liquid piping.

- Regarding the 2-Branch Joint Pipe on the high-pressure/low-pressure/
liquid piping, A and B must be installed horizontally, and C must be
installed upward higher than the horizontal plane of A and B.
6. Be sure to have pipe expansion of indoor unit connecting port by cutting the
piping at the cutting point which depends on the indoor unit capacity.
7. Be sure to use non-oxidative brazing where necessary. If you do not use
non-oxidative brazing, it may clog the pipes.
8. After completing pipe connection, support the pipes to ensure that load is not
imparted to the BC controller's end connections (particularly to the gas pipes
of indoor units).
9. Support the on-site pipes every 2 meters or at closer intervals.
Note:
Remove burr after cutting the piping to prevent entering the piping.
Check that there is no crack at the pipe expansion part.

Warning:
When installing and moving the unit, do not charge it with refrigerant other
- Mixing of a different refrigerant, air, etc. may cause the refrigerant cycle to
malfunction and result in severe damage.
Caution:
Use refrigerant piping made of phosphorus deoxidized copper and
copper alloy seamless pipes and tubes. In addition, be sure that the
inner and outer surfaces of the pipes are clean and free of hazardous
sulphur, oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other
contaminant.
- R410A is a high-pressure refrigerant and can cause the existing piping to
burst.
Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both
ends of the piping sealed until just before brazing. (Store elbows and
other joints in a plastic bag.)
- If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of the oil and
compressor failure may result.

Do not vent R410A into the atmosphere.
