DANGER
Never touch electrical components immediately after the power supply has been turned off. Electrical shock
may occur. After turning off the power, always wait 5 minutes or more before touching electrical components.
This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant models, some of the
piping and installation and service tools are special. (See the table below.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant model with a new refrigerant R410A model, always
replace the conventional piping and flare nuts with the R410A piping and flare nuts.
Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous
charging with conventional refrigerant and for safety. Therefore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread
diameter for R410A is 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch.]
Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than with refrigerant models.
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 composition of the gas and liquid
phases, and always charge from the liquid phase side whose composition is stable.
Special tools for R410A
Tool name Contents of change
Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a conventional gauge. To prevent erroneous mixing of
other refrigerants, the diameter of each port has been changed.
Gauge manifold
It is recommended the gauge with seals –0.1 to 5.3 MPa (–76 cmHg to 53 kgf/cm
–0.1 to 3.8 MPa (–76 cmHg to 38 kgf/cm 2 ) for low pressure.
Charge hose To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base size were changed.
Vacuum pump A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a vacuum pump adapter.
Gas leakage detector Special gas leakage detector for HFC refrigerant R410A.
Copper pipes
Thicknesses of Annealed Copper Pipes (R410A)
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable that the amount
Pipe outside diameter
of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10m. Do not use copper pipes having a col-
lapsed, deformed or discolored portion (especially on the interior surface). Oth-
6.35 mm (1/4 in.)
erwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may become blocked with con-
taminants.
9.52 mm (3/8 in.)
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when using
12.70 mm (1/2 in.)
conventional refrigerant, it is necessary to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A are as shown in the table. Never
use copper pipes thinner than that in the table even when it is available on the
market.
For authorized service personnel only.
WARNING
For the room air conditioner to operate satisfactorily, install it as outlined in this installation instruction
sheet.
Connect the indoor unit and outdoor unit with the room air conditioner piping and cords available standards
parts. This installation instruction sheet describes the correct connections using the installation set avail-
able from our standard parts.
Installation work must be performed in accordance with national wiring standards by authorized personnel
only.
If refrigerant leaks while work is being carried out, ventilate the area. If the refrigerant comes in contact with
a flame, it produces a toxic gas.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not turn on the power until all installation work is complete.
CAUTION
This installation instruction sheet describes how to install the indoor unit only.
To install the outdoor unit, refer to the installation instruction sheet included with the outdoor unit.
• • • • • Be careful not to scratch the room air conditioner when handling it.
• • • • • After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using the operating manual.
• • • • • Let the customer keep this installation instruction sheet because it is used when the air conditioner is serviced or moved.
SELECTING THE MOUNTING POSITION
WARNING
Install at a place that can withstand the weight of the indoor and outdoor units and install positively so that the
units will not topple or fall.
CAUTION
Do not install where there is the danger of combustible gas leakage.
Do not install near heat sources.
If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that they cannot reach the
unit.
Take precautions to prevent the unit from falling.
Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:

• • • • • Use pipe with water-resistant heat insulation.
• • • • • Use pipe that can withstand a pressure of 4150 kpa.
CAUTION
Install heat insulation around both the gas and liquid pipes. Failure to do so may cause water leaks.
Use heat insulation with heat resistance above 120 °C. (Reverse cycle model only)
In addition, if the humidity level at the installation location of the refrigerant piping is expected to exceed 70%,
install heat insulation around the refrigerant piping. If the expected humidity level is 70-80%, use heat insulation
that is 15 mm or thicker and if the expected humidity exceeds 80%, use heat insulation that is 20 mm or thicker.
If heat insulation is used that is not as thick as specified, condensation may form on the surface of the insulation.
In addition, use heat insulation with heat conductivity of 0.045 W/(m·K) or less (at 20 °C).

CAUTION
Do not use mineral oil on flared part. Prevent min-
eral oil from getting into the system as this would
reduce the lifetime of the units.
While welding the pipes, be sure to blow dry ni-
trogen gas through them.
1. FLARING
(1) Cut the connection pipe to the necessary length with a pipe
cutter.
(2) Hold the pipe downward so that cuttings will not enter the pipe
and remove the burrs.
(3) Insert the flare nut (always use the flare nut attached to the
indoor and outdoor units respectively) onto the pipe and per-
form the flare processing with a flare tool.
Use the special R410A flare tool, or the conventional (for R22)
flare tool.
Check if [L] is flared uniformly
and is not cracked or scratched.

When pipes are repeatedly bent or stretched, the material will
harden, making it difficult to bend or stretch them any more. Do not
bend or stretch the pipes more than three times. • Lay the piping.
CAUTION
A. CEILING CONCEALED TYPE
To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends.
Bend the pipe with a radius of curvature of 150 mm
or over.

If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the same place, it
will break.

CAUTION
Be sure to apply the pipe against the port on the
indoor unit correctly. If the centering is improper,
the flare nut cannot be tightened smoothly. If the

flare nut is forced to turn, the threads will be dam-
aged.
Do not remove the flare nut from the indoor unit
pipe until immediately before connecting the con-
nection pipe.
(2) Centering the pipe against port on the indoor unit, turn the flare
nut with your hand.
To prevent gas leakage, coat the flare
surface with alkylbenzene oil (HAB). OK OK
Do not use mineral oil.
(3) When the flare nut is tightened properly by your hand, use a
torque wrench to finally tighten it. CAUTION

4. HEAT INSULATION ON THE PIPE JOINTS
(INDOOR SIDE ONLY)
• After checking for gas leaks, insulate by wrapping insulation
around the two parts (large and small) of the indoor unit cou-
pling, using the coupler heat insulation.
• After installing the coupler heat insulation, wrap both ends with
vinyl tape so that there is no gap.
• After wrapping tape around the ends of the coupler heat insula-
tion, secure the heat insulation pipe and the taped portion with
large binders in two places, as shown below.
