IMPORTANT!
Please Read Before Starting
This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operating standards.
As the installer or service person, it is an important part of your job to
install or service the system so it operates safely and efficiently.
For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must:
•
Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.
•
Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.
•
Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
•
Pay close attention to all danger, warning, and caution notices given in
this manual.

If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation sites and mainte-
nance conditions. If you require help for a special problem, contact our
sales/service outlet or your certified dealer for additional instructions.
In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation
or maintenance service, including failure to follow the instructions in this
document.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH. ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD
ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
•
Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed
or reconnected and checked.
•
Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully
refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when wiring. Improper
connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or
death.
•
Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
•
Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at con-
nection points and a possible fire hazard.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get
a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on
your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can
cut your fingers.
When Installing...
...In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit's weight. It
may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide
added support.
...In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent "sweating" that
can cause dripping and water damage to walls and floors.
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level
foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnor-
mal vibration.
...In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame.
Provide a suitable air baffle.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting
snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
•
Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
•
Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
•
Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and
union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque
wrench for a leak-free connection.
•
Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
NOTE:
Depending on the system type, liquid and gas lines may be either narrow
or wide. Therefore, to avoid confusion the refrigerant tubing for your
particular model is specified as either "small" or "large" rather than as
"liquid" or "gas".
When Servicing
•
Turn the power OFF at the main circuit breaker panel before opening
the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wiring.
•
Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
•
Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no metal
scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced.
•
After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using the
operating manual.
GENERAL
This INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION SHEET briefly outlines where and how to install the air conditioning system. Please read over the entire set of instructions
for the indoor and outdoor units and make sure all accessory parts listed are with the system before beginning.

CONNECTION PIPE REQUIREMENT

Diameter
Liquid Gas
9.52 mm (3/8 in.) 15.88 mm (5/8 in.)
• • • • • Use pipe with water-resistant heat insulation.
Install heat insulation around both the gas and liquid pipes. Failure to do so may cause water leaks.
Use heat insulation with heat resistance above 248 °F. (Reverse cycle model only)
In addition, if the humidity level at the installation location of the refrigerant piping is expected to exceed 70%, install heat
insulation around the refrigerant piping. If the expected humidity level is 70-80%, use heat insulation that is 15 mm (19/32 in.) or
thicker and if the expected humidity exceeds 80%, use heat insulation that is 20 mm (3/4 in.) or thicker.
If heat insulation is used that is not as thick as specified, condensation may form on the surface of the insulation.
In addition, use heat insulation with heat conductivity of 0.045 W/(m·K) or less (at 68 °F).

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT

• • • • • Electric wire size:
2
Connection cord (mm )
MAX. MIN.
2.5 1.0
• • • • • Install all electrical works in accordance to the standard.
• • • • • Install the disconnect device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm (1/8") in all poles nearby the units. (Both indoor unit and outdoor unit)
• • • • • Install the circuit breaker nearby the units.

SELECTING THE MOUNTING POSITION

Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:
Select installation locations that can properly support the weight of the indoor and outdoor units. Install the units securely so
that they do not topple or fall.
1 Do not install where there is the danger of combustible gas leakage.
2 Do not install the unit near heat source of heat, steam, or flammable gas.
3 If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that they cannot reach the unit.
INDOOR UNIT
(1) Install the indoor unit level on a strong wall which is not subject to vibration.
(2) The inlet and outlet ports should not be obstructed : the air should be able to
blow all over the room.
(3) Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
(4) Install the unit where connection to the outdoor unit is easy.
(5) Install the unit where the drain pipe can be easily installed.
(6) Take servicing, etc., into consideration and leave the spaces shown in the
figure. Also install the unit where the filter can be removed.
