21 Series Multi-Split 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.
21 Series Multi-Split 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.
21 Series Multi-Split Product Introduction The 21 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.

21 Series Multi-Split 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.
21 Series Multi-Split 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.

21 Series Multi-Split Refrigeration and Condensate Piping Tips If the outdoor unit is installed lower than the indoor unit: 1. If indoor unit condensate line follows refrigeration lines, then the drain pipe termination should be above ground in order that the end of the pipe should not dip into water.
21 Series Multi-Split Connection Pipe Requirements 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. Table 6: Piping Information for 4TXM21 Min.

21 Series Multi-Split Installing the Refrigerant Piping Flaring Process 1. Hold the pipe downward to prevent cuttings from entering the pipe. 2. Using an appropriate tube cutter and deburring tool, cut and deburr the refrigerant pipe. 3. Remove the flare nuts at the stop valve of the outdoor unit and inside the accessory bag of the indoor unit, put them onto the refrigerant pipe as shown below then flare the refrigerant pipe with a flaring tool.
21 Series Multi-Split 1. Use a refrigerant pipe bending tool to shape refrigerant piping; smaller diameter piping may allow for light hand bending, providing minimum diameter of 6 inches. 2. Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90°.
Page 18
21 Series Multi-Split NOTICE 1. To prevent distortion and breaking of the pipe, bend the pipe with a radius of curvature of 6 in. (150 mm) or more. Use a tubing bender when forming the copper tubing into a bend.
21 Series Multi-Split 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.
21 Series Multi-Split Wiring Precautions Electrical Notes: 1. EACH unit should be installed with its own dedicated power supply source. The power source needs to be sized correctly for the unit capacity. 2. The rated voltage of the unit is as shown in this manual.
21 Series Multi-Split 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.
