*1 Never use pipes ith thic ness less than specified. The pressure resistance
ill be insufficient.
*2 Use a copper pipe or a copper-alloy seamless pipe.
*3 Be careful not to crush or bend the pipe during pipe bending.
*4 Refrigerant pipe bending radius must be 4 in. (100 mm) or more.
*5 Insulation material : Heat resisting foam plastic 0.045 specific gravity
*6 Be sure to use the insulation of specified thic ness. Excessive thic ness may
cause incorrect installation of the indoor unit and insufficient thic ness may
cause dew drippage.
*7 If pipe length exceeds 98 ft. (30 m), additional refrigerant (R410A) charge is
required. (No additional charge is required for pipe length less than 98 ft. (30 m).)

If the electrical cover of the indoor unit and/or the service panel of the outdoor
unit are not attached securely, dust, w ater, etc. could collect in the unit and
could cause a fire or an electric shoc .

other than the specified refrigerant (R410A) enters the refrigerant circuit.
Any presence of foreign substance such as air can cause abnormal pressure
rise and may result in explosion or injury. The use of any refrigerant other than
that specified for the system ill cause mechanical failure, system malfunction,
or unit breakdow n. In the w orst case, this could lead to a serious impediment
to securing product safety.

If refrigerant comes in contact ith a fire, harmful gas could be generated.
If refrigerant gas lea s indoors, and comes into contact ith the flame of a fan
heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful gases ill be generated.

The pressure of R410A is 1.6 times higher than R22. Not using the appropri-
ate tools and materials, or improper installation could cause the pipes to burst
causing an injury.

If the refrigerant pipes are disconnected w hile the compressor is running and
the stop valve is open, air could be dra n in and the pressure in the refrigera-
tion cycle could become abnormally high, causing the pipes to burst.

Ho ever, indoor units ith connected piping length less than 10 ft. (3m) could
produce intermittent noise during normal system operation in very quiet envi-
ronments. Please be aw are of this important information w hen installing and
locating the indoor unit w ithin the conditioned space.
*9 hen connecting t o PAA-A18 units, be sure to provide the total piping length
of 33 ft (10 m) or more and change the gas pipe diameter to ø5/8 inch (15.88
