The naked part of the wire core should be 10 mm fi x it to the
terminal tightly. Then try to pull the individual wire to check if the
contact is tight. Improper insertion may burn the terminal.
Be sure to use only wire specifi ed for the use of air-conditioner.
Please refer to the manual for wire connection and the wiring
technique should meet the standard of the electrical installation.
There is an AC voltage drop between the LN terminal if the power
is on. Therefore, be sure to remove the plug from its socket.

it.
WARNING
Be sure that the hooks of the side cover is
fi xed in certainly. Otherwise water leakage
may occur and this causes short circuit or
faults.
Checking for the electric source and the
voltage range
Before installation, the power source must be checked and
necessary wiring work must be completed. To make the
wiring capacity proper, use the wire gauge list below for the
wiring from house distribution fuse box to the outdoor unit
in consideration of the locked rotor current.
Investigate the power supply capacity and other electrical
conditions at the installing location.
Depending on the model of room air conditioner to be
installed, request the customer to make arrangements for
the necessary electrical work etc.
The electrical work includes the wiring work up the outdoor
unit. In localities where electrical conditions are poor, use of
a voltage regulation is recommended.
Install outdoor for the room air conditioner within the reaching
range of the line cord.

Pump Down Method When Reuse
Existing Piping (R410A Model) for
R32 Model
Compressor oil of R410A model is insoluble in
compressor oil of R32 model. The mixing of compressor
oil may cause damage of compressor.
Possibility of Mixing
Reuse of piping of R410A model is dangerous because
of its compressor oil.
When reuse piping of R410A model, pump down must
be carried out properly to ensure compressor oil which
is remained inside piping is collected away.
!
CAUTION
Reuse of piping R410A model only apply if previous
model is Hitachi and proper pump down method is
used.
To Reuse Old Piping
Piping of R410A model can be reused only when air-
conditioner is properly pumped down.
The purpose of pump down is to collect back the
compressor oil (which is mixed with refrigerant and
circulating inside refrigeration cycle) properly into the
outdoor unit of air conditioner.
When the meter reaches - 101KPa (-76cmHg)
during pumping, fully tighten the shuttle.
As shown in right fi gure, remove the cap of

valve core. Then, connect the charge hose.
Remove the cap of valve head. Connect the
vacuum pump adapter to the vacuum pump
and connect the charge hose to the adapter.
Charge hose
Valve
Fully tighten the "Hi" knob of the manifold
valve and completely unscrew the "Lo" knob.
Run the vacuum pump for about 10~15
minutes, then completely tighten the "Lo" knob
and switch off the vacuum pump.
After vacuuming, confi rm that the needle of
the manifold gauge is stable for 3~5 minutes.
When pumping starts, slightly loosen the
fl are nut to check of air sucked in. Then
tighten the fl are nut.
Remove the charge hose and tighten the cap
of valve core. Check the cap's periphery if
there is any gas leakage.
Completely unscrew the spindle of the
service valve (at 2 places) in anti-clockwise
direction to allow the fl ow of refrigerant (using
Hexagonal Wrench key).
Re-cap the service valve and tighten using
wrench. Check the cap's periphery if there is
any gas leakage. The task is then completed.
Gas Leakage Inspection
Please use gas leakage detector
!
CAUTION
to check if leakage occurs at
the connection of Flare nut as
shown on the right.
If gas leakage occurs, further
tighten the connection to stop
leakage. (Use the detector
provided for R32)
CAUTION
!
A circuit breaker must be installed. Without a circuit
breaker or fuse the danger of electric shock exists.
A main switch with a contact gap of more than 3mm
has to be installed in the power supply line to the
outdoor unit.
Do not install the unit near a location
where there is flammable gas. The
outdoor unit may catch fi re if fl ammable
gas leaks around it.
Do not install the indoor unit in a machine shop or
kitchen where vapor from oil or its mist fl ows to the
indoor unit. The oil will deposit on the heat exchanger,
thereby reducing the indoor unit performance and may
deform and in the worst case, break the plastic parts
of the indoor unit.
Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical
installation and the methods described in the installation
manual when dealing with the electrical work. Use power
cables approved by the authorities of your country.
Be sure to use the specifi ed wire for connecting the indoor
and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections
are tight after the conductors of the wire are inserted into
the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may
cause over-heating and fi re.
