About This Product; Precautions For Using The R410A Refrigerant - Fujitsu AIRSTAGE K00250LW Addendum

WARNING
For installation purposes, be sure to use the parts supplied by the manufacturer or
other prescribed parts.
Using non-specifi ed parts will cause serious accidents such as falling unit, refriger-
ant leakage, water leakage, electric shock, and fi re.
To install a unit that uses the R410A refrigerant, use dedicated tools and piping
materials that have been manufactured specifi cally for R410A use.
Because the pressure of the R410A refrigerant is approximately 1.6 times higher
than the R22, failure to use dedicated piping material or improper installation can
cause rupture or injury.
It will also cause serious accidents such as refrigerant leakage, water leakage,
electric shock, and fi re.
Do not introduce any substance other than the prescribed refrigerant into the refrig-
eration cycle.
If air enters the refrigeration cycle, the pressure in the refrigeration cycle will be-
come abnormally high and cause the piping to rupture.
Be sure to install the unit as prescribed, so that it can withstand earthquakes and
typhoons or other strong winds.
Improper installation can cause the unit to topple or fall, or other accidents.
Ensure that the outdoor unit is securely installed at a place that can withstand the
weight of the unit.
Improper installation will cause injuries caused by falling unit.
If there is a refrigerant leakage, make sure that it does not exceed the concentration
limit.
If a refrigerant leakage exceeds the concentration limit, it can lead to accidents
such as oxygen starvation.
If a refrigerant leakage occurs during operation, immediately vacate the premises
and thoroughly ventilate the area.
If the refrigerant is exposed to fi re, it will create a hazardous gas.
Electrical work must be performed in accordance with this Installation manual by a
person certifi ed under the national or regional regulations. Be sure to use a dedi-
cated circuit for the unit.
An insuffi cient power supply circuit or improperly performed electrical work can
cause serious accidents such as electric shock or fi re.
For wiring, use the prescribed type of cables, connect them securely, making sure
that there are no external forces of the cables applied to the terminal connections.
Improperly connected or secured cables can cause serious accidents such as
overheating the terminals, electric shock, or fi re.
Do not turn ON the power until all work has been completed.
Turning ON the power before the work is completed can cause serious accidents
such as electric shock or fi re.
After the installation, make sure there is no refrigerant leakage.
If the refrigerant leaks into the room and becomes exposed to a source of fi re such
as a fan heater, stove, or burner, it will create a hazardous gas.
Use a wall hole pipe. Otherwise, it may cause a short circuit.
Do not place the outdoor unit near the handrail of the balcony.
Children may climb onto the outdoor unit, lean over the handrail and fall over.
Use only a specifi ed power cable. Poor connection, poor insulation, and exceeding the
allowable current will lead to electric shock and fi re.
Attach the connecting cables securely to the terminal. Or secure it fi rmly with a "wir-
ing suppressor".
Loose connection will lead to malfunction, electric shock, and fi re.
Install a breaker to cut off all AC main current at the same time.
If you do not install a breaker, it may cause electric shock and fi re.
During installation, make sure that the refrigerant pipe is attached fi rmly before you
run the compressor.
Do not operate the compressor under the condition of refrigerant piping not at-
tached properly with 2-way or 3-way valve open. This may cause abnormal pres-
sure in the refrigeration cycle that leads to rupture and even injury.
During the pump-down operation, make sure that the compressor is turned off
before you remove the refrigerant piping. Do not remove the connection pipe while
the compressor is in operation with 2-way or 3-way valve open. This may cause
abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle that leads to breakage and even injury.
If there is a possibility of touching the fan during maintenance, make sure to turn
OFF the power before implementing the maintenance. Even if operations are
suspended, the fan of outdoor unit sometimes rotates, so if the fan rotates suddenly
while in contact with you may cause serious injury.

Precautions for using the R410A refrigerant

Pay careful attention to the following points :
Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of R22 models, some of the
piping and installation and service tools are special. (See the table in the SPECIAL
TOOLS FOR R410A section.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant (other than R410A) model with
a new refrigerant R410A model, always replace the conventional piping and fl are
nuts with the R410A piping and fl are nuts.
Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter
to prevent erroneous charging with R22, R407C and for safety. Therefore, check
beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 1/2 UNF 20 threads
per inch.]
Be more careful than the installation of the refrigerant (other than R410A) models,
not to enter foreign matters (oil, water, etc.) and other refrigerant into the piping.
Also, when storing the piping, securely seal the openings by pinching, taping, etc.
When charging the refrigerant, take into account the slight change in the composi-
tion of the gas and liquid phases, and always charge from the liquid phase side
whose composition is stable.
