Safety Precautions - Toshiba RAS-10SAV-A Service Manual

For general public use
Power supply cord of outdoor unit shall be more than 1.5 mm
sheathed flexible cord.
• Read this "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" carefully before servicing.
• The precautions described below include the important items regarding safety. Observe them without fail.
• After the servicing work, perform a trial operation to check for any problem.
• Turn off the main power supply switch (or breaker) before the unit maintenance.
New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation
• THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT
DESTROY OZONE LAYER.
R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurities such as water, oxidizing membrane, and oils because
the working pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx. 1.6 times of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with the
adoption of the new refrigerant, the refrigeration machine oil has also been changed. Therefore, during
installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigeration machine oil does not enter into
the new type refrigerant R410A air conditioner circuit.
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging
port on main unit and installation tools are different from those used for the conventional refrigerant units.
Accordingly, special tools are required for the new refrigerant (R410A) units. For connecting pipes, use new
and clean piping materials with high pressure fittings made for R410A only, so that water and/or dust does
not enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are some problems with pressure fittings
and possible impurities in existing piping.
TO DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by a circuit breaker or a switch with a contact
separation of at least 3 mm.
• ASK AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR QUALIFIED INSTALLATION PROFESSIONAL TO IN-
STALL/MAINTAIN THE AIR CONDITIONER.
INAPPROPRIATE SERVICING MAY RESULT IN WATER LEAKAGE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
• TURN OFF MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK. MAKE SURE
ALL POWER SWITCHES ARE OFF. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE
The high voltage circuit is incorporated.
Be careful to do the check service, as the electric shock may be caused in case of touching parts
on the P .C. board by hand.
• CORRECTLY CONNECT THE CONNECTING CABLE. IF THE CONNECTING CABLE IS INCOR-
RECTLY CONNECTED, ELECTRIC PARTS MAY BE DAMAGED.
• CHECK THAT THE EARTH WIRE IS NOT BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED BEFORE SERVICE AND
INSTALLATION. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
