22 Series Multi-Zone Safety Precautions Your personal safety and the proper operation of this equipment depend upon the strict observance of these precautions. This mark indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WARNING could result in death or serious injury.
22 Series Multi-Zone 12. If a system pump-down is performed, turn off the associated equipment and close service valves prior to removing the refrigerant piping. Failure to do so will introduce non-condensables in the system, causing abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle which could lead to injury and damage.
22 Series Multi-Zone Product Introduction The 22 Series Multi-split system utilizes inverter compressor technology, which enables the outdoor unit to send refrigerant to multiple indoor units of varying capacities. It is critical, however, that heat loss and heat gain calculations be performed to properly size the multi-split system.

22 Series Multi-Zone Combinations for Outdoor and Indoor Units Some of the 22 SEER multi-split outdoor units are able to support up to five indoor units. The figure below illustrates that a mixture of indoor types may be used on a single 4TXM22 multi port system, provided the combination is approved.
22 Series Multi-Zone Preparation for Installation Selecting the Installation Location Outdoor Unit WARNING 1. Install the unit on a level surface or on supports that are level. 2. If the location is subject to strong winds, the additional force must be accounted for and the unit must be fixed securely to the base.
22 Series Multi-Zone Connection Pipe Requirement NOTICE The maximum distance of the connection piping in both height and total length is provided in the table below. Do not install these units in locations that exceed these specifications. Max height Connecting Pipe inch(mm)
22 Series Multi-Zone Refrigerant Piping Precautions WARNING Hazard of Explosion and Deadly Gases! Failure to follow all proper safe refrigerant handling practices could result in death or serious injury. Never solder, braze or weld on refrigerant pipes or any unit components that are above atmospheric pressure or where refrigerant may be present.
22 Series Multi-Zone Installing the Outdoor Unit WARNING 1. Install the unit on a level surface or on supports that are level. 2. If the location is subject to strong winds, the additional force must be accounted for and the unit must be fixed securely to the base. Refer to local codes for additional requirements.
22 Series Multi-Zone 4. Place the outdoor unit on the support base. 5. Secure the foot holes of the outdoor unit with bolts (shown below). Foot holes Foot holes Installing the Refrigerant Piping Flaring Process 1. Hold the pipe downward to prevent cuttings from entering the pipe.
22 Series Multi-Zone 4. Do not bend the pipe while insulated. First, cut the insulation with a sharp cutting tool and expose it to the appropriate bend radius, as shown below. After bending the pipe, replace the insulation and seal it with pipe wrap tape.
22 Series Multi-Zone Refrigerant Piping at the Indoor Units Reference the Indoor Unit Installation Guide Refrigerant Piping at the Outdoor Unit Tighten the flare nut of the connection pipe at the outdoor unit valve connector. Follow the flare nut guidelines in this manual.
22 Series Multi-Zone Piping Requirements If the outdoor unit is installed lower than the indoor unit: 1. A drain pipe should be above ground and the end of the pipe should not dip into water. 2. Taping pipes must be done from bottom to top. Do not wrap too tightly to avoid compression of the insulation, otherwise its effectiveness is reduced.
22 Series Multi-Zone Refrigerant Piping Between the Indoor and Outdoor Units All indoor units are individually connected to ports at the outdoor unit. (As shown below) • If any refrigerant ports are not connected to indoor units, please tighten the cap to seal off the port.

22 Series Multi-Zone Vacuum and Refrigerant Leakage Detection NOTICE Do not purge the air with refrigerant. Use a vacuum pump to vacuum the installation! 1. When connecting refrigerant pipe to the unit or removing it from the unit, please use both a back-up wrench and the torque wrench.
22 Series Multi-Zone Wiring Precautions WARNING 1. Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected. 2. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses fire and electrocution hazards. For high voltage connections, flexible electrical conduit is recommended whenever vibration transmission may create a noise problem within the structure.
22 Series Multi-Zone Stranded Wiring Connections Cut the wire end with a wire cutter or wire cutting pliers, then strip the insulation about 3/8" (10mm). 1. Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on the terminal board. 2. Using a round terminal fastener or pliers, securely clamp a round terminal to each stripped wire end.
