• Use refrigerant piping made of C1220 (Cu-DHP) phosphorus deoxidized
copper as specified in the JIS H3300 "Copper and copper alloy seam-
less pipes and tubes". In addition, be sure that the inner and outer
surfaces of the pipes are clean and free of hazardous sulphur, oxides,
dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other contaminant.
- Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause the refrig-
erant residual oil to deteriorate.
• Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both
ends of the piping sealed until just before brazing. (Store elbows and
other joints in a plastic bag.)
- If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of the oil and
compressor trouble may result.
• Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the refrigera-
tor oil to coat flares and flange connections.
- The refrigerator oil will degrade if it is mixed with a large amount of mineral
oil.
• Use liquid refrigerant to fill the system.
- If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the composition of the refrig-
erant in the cylinder will change and performance may drop.
• Do not use a refrigerant other than R410A or R407C.
- If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is used, the chlorine in the refrigerant may
cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
• Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.
- The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant cycle and cause
the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
• Do not use the following tools that are used with conventional refriger-
ants.
(Gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, reverse flow check
valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge, refrigerant recovery
equipment)
- If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil are mixed in the R410A
or R407C, the refrigerant may deteriorated.
- If water is mixed in the R410A or R407C, the refrigerator oil may deterio-
rate.
- Since R410A or R407C does not contain any chlorine, gas leak detectors
for conventional refrigerants will not react to it.
• Do not use a charging cylinder.
- Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
• Be especially careful when managing the tools.
- If dust, dirt, or water gets in the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant may dete-
riorate.

1.3. Before getting installed

Caution:
• Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.
- If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an explosion may result.
• Do not use the air conditioner where food, pets, plants, precision instru-
ments, or artwork are kept.
- The quality of the food, etc. may deteriorate.
• Do not use the air conditioner in special environments.
- Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce the performance of
the air conditioner or damage its parts.
• When installing the unit in a hospital, communication station, or similar
place, provide sufficient protection against noise.
- The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-frequency medical
equipment, or radio communication equipment may cause the air con-
ditioner to operate erroneously, or fail to operate. On the other hand, the
air conditioner may affect such equipment by creating noise that disturbs
medical treatment or image broadcasting.
• Do not install the unit on a structure that may cause leakage.
- When the room humidity exceeds 80 % or when the drain pipe is clogged,
condensation may drip from the indoor unit. Perform collective drainage
work together with the outdoor unit, as required.
• The indoor models should be installed the ceiling over than 2.5 m from
floor.

2. Indoor unit accessories

The unit is provided with the following accessories:
Part No. Accessories
1 Insulation pipe (long)
2 Insulation pipe (short)
3 Tie band
4 Drain hose
5 Washer

3. Selecting an installation site

• Select a site with sturdy fixed surface sufficiently durable against the weight
of unit.
• Before installing unit, the routing to carry in unit to the installation site should
be determined.
• Select a site where the unit is not affected by entering air.
• Select a site where the flow of supply and return air is not blocked.
1.4. Before getting installed (moved) - elec-
trical work
Caution:
• Ground the unit.
- Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes, lightning rods, or
telephone ground lines. Improper grounding may result in electric shock.
• Install the power cable so that tension is not applied to the cable.
- Tension may cause the cable to break and generate heat and cause a fire.
• Install an leak circuit breaker, as required.
- If an leak circuit breaker is not installed, electric shock may result.
• Use power line cables of sufficient current carrying capacity and rating.
- Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and cause a fire.
• Use only a circuit breaker and fuse of the specified capacity.
- A fuse or circuit breaker of a larger capacity or a steel or copper wire may
result in a general unit failure or fire.
• Do not wash the air conditioner units.
- Washing them may cause an electric shock.
• Be careful that the installation base is not damaged by long use.
- If the damage is left uncorrected, the unit may fall and cause personal in-
jury or property damage.
• Install the drain piping according to this Installation Manual to ensure
proper drainage. Wrap thermal insulation around the pipes to prevent
condensation.
- Improper drain piping may cause water leakage and damage to furniture
and other possessions.
• Be very careful about product transportation.
- Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs more than 20 kg.
- Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use any PP bands for
a means of transportation. It is dangerous.
- Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. Doing so may cut your fingers.
- When transporting the outdoor unit, suspend it at the specified positions
on the unit base. Also support the outdoor unit at four points so that it can-
not slip sideways.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials.
- Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may
cause stabs or other injuries.
- Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children will not
play with them. If children play with a plastic bag which was not torn apart,
they face the risk of suffocation.

1.5. Before starting the test run

Caution:
• Turn on the power at least 12 hours before starting operation.
- Starting operation immediately after turning on the main power switch can
result in severe damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch turned on
during the operational season.
• Do not touch the switches with wet fingers.
- Touching a switch with wet fingers can cause electric shock.
• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately after opera-
tion.
- During and immediately after operation, the refrigerant pipes are may be
hot and may be cold, depending on the condition of the refrigerant flow-
ing through the refrigerant piping, compressor, and other refrigerant cycle
parts. Your hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the refrigerant
pipes.
• Do not operate the air conditioner with the panels and guards removed.
- Rotating, hot, or high-voltage parts can cause injuries.
• Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping operation.
- Always wait at least five minutes before turning off the power. Otherwise,
water leakage and trouble may occur.
