This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
(1) Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant(R22) mod-
els, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special.(See the table below.)
ENGLISH
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant(R22) model with a new refrigerant
R410A model, always replace the conventional piping and fl are nuts with the R410A piping
and fl are nuts.
(2) Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to pre-
vent erroneous charging with conventional refrigerant(R22) and for safety. Therefore, check
beforehand.[The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 1/2 threads per inch.]
(3) Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than with
refrigerant(R22) models. Also, when storing the piping ,securely seal the opening by pinch-
ing, taping, etc.
(4) 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 (-1 to 53 bar) for high pressure.
-0.1 to 3.8 MPa (-1 to 38 bar) 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.

As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than
when using R22, 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.
WARNING
(1) Do not use the existing (for R22) piping and fl are nuts.
• If the existing materials are used, the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle will rise and cause breakage, injury,
etc. (Use the special R410A materials.)
(2) When installing and relocating the air conditioner, do not mix gases other than the specifi ed refrigerant(R410A)
to enter the refrigerant cycle.
• If air or other gas enters the refrigerant cycle, the pressure inside the cycle will rise to an abnormally high
value and cause breakage, injury, etc.
CAUTION
When installing pipes shorter than 17ft (5m), sound of the outdoor unit will be transferred to the indoor unit, which
will cause large operating sound or some abnormal sound.
SELECTING THE MOUNTING INSTALLATION DIAGRAM OF
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNITS
POSITION
Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows: [INDOOR UNIT]
1. INDOOR UNIT
(1) Install the indoor unit level on a strong wall which is not subject
2"(5 cm) or over
to vibration.

(2) The inlet and outlet ports should not be obstructed : the air
should be able to blow all over the room.
(3) Install the unit near an electric outlet or special branch circuit.
(4) Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
(5) Install the unit where connection to the outdoor unit is easy.
(6) Install the unit where the drain pipe can be easily installed.
(7) Take servicing, etc. into consideration and leave the spaces

removed. 60"(150 cm)
or over
2. OUTDOOR UNIT
(1) If possible, do not install the unit where it will be exposed to di-
rect sunlight. (If necessary, install a blind that does not interfere
2 with the air fl ow.)
(2) Do not install the unit where a strong wind blows or where it is very dusty.
(3) Do not install the unit where people pass.
(4) Take your neighbors into consideration so that they are not dis-
turbed by air blowing into their windows or by noise.
(5) Provide the space shown in the fi gure so that the air fl ow is not blocked.
Also for effi cient operation, leave open three of the four direc-
1 tions front, rear, and both sides.

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.

CUTTING THE HOLE IN THE WALL FOR THE CONNECTING PIPING
(1) Cut a 3-1/8"(80 mm) diameter hole in the wall at the position shown
in the fi gure.
(2) When cutting the wall hole at the inside of the wall hook bracket, cut
the hole to a point of intersection of center marks.
When cutting the wall hole at the outside of the wall hook bracket, cut
the hole at a point of 10mm below.
(3) Cut the hole so that the outside end is lower (3/16" to 3/8" (5 to 10
mm)) than the inside end.
(4) Always align the center of the wall hole. If misaligned, water leakage
will occur.
(5) Cut the wall pipe to match the wall thickness, stick it into the wall cap,
fasten the cap with vinyl tape, and stick the pipe through the hole. (The
connection pipe is supplied in the installation set.)
(6) For left piping and right piping, cut the hole a little lower so that drain
water will fl ow freely.
INSTALLING THE WALL HOOK BRACKET
(1) Install the wall hook bracket so that it is correctly positioned horizon-
tally and vertically. If the wall hook bracket is tiled, water will drip to
the fl oor.
(2) Install the wall hook bracket so that it is strong enough to withstand
the weight of an adult.
●
Fasten the wall hook bracket to the wall with 6 or more screws
through the holes near the outer edge of the bracket.
● Check that there is no rattle at the wall hook bracket.
WARNING
If the wall pipe is not used, the cord interconnecting
the indoor and outdoor units may touch metal and
cause electric leakage.
FORMING THE DRAIN HOSE AND PIPE
[Rear piping, Right piping, Bottom piping]
● Install the indoor unit piping in the direction of the wall hole and
bind the drain hose and pipe together with vinyl tape.
● Install the piping so that the drain hose is at the bottom.
● Wrap the pipes of the indoor unit that are visible from the outside

CAUTION
(1) In order to align the drain hose and drain cap, be
sure to insert securely and vertically. Incline in-
sertion will cause water leakage.
(2) When inserting, be sure not to attach any materi-
al besides water. If any other material is attached,
it will cause deterioration and water leakage.
(3) After removing drain hose, be sure not to forget
mounting drain cap.
(4) Be sure to fi x the drain hose with tape to the bottom
of piping.
(5) Prevent drain water frozen under low temperature
environment.
When installing indoor unit's drain hose outdoors, necessary
measure for frost protection should be taken to prevent drain wa-
ter frozen.
• Under low temperature environment (when outdoor temperature
under 32 °F), after cooling operation is executed, water in the
drain hose could be frozen.
Once drain water is frozen, the drain hose will be blocked and
water leakage may be resulted for indoor unit.

(2) 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 attached properly with 3-way
valve open. This may cause abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle
that leads to breakage and even injury.
