ADDITIONAL CHARGE
Refrigerant suitable for a piping length of 49 ft (15 m) is charged in
the outdoor unit at the factory.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT
When the piping is longer than 49 ft (15 m), additional charging is necessary.
For the additional amount, see the table below.
Always make the air conditioner power supply a special branch cir-
Table 6 cuit and provide a special switch and receptacle. Do not extend the
power cord.

(1) When adding refrigerant, add the refrigerant from
the charging port at the completion of work.
(2) The maximum length of the piping is 66 ft (20 m).
If the units are further apart than this, correct
operation can not be guaranteed.
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.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant(R22) model with a new refrigerant R410A
model, always replace the conventional piping and flare nuts with the R410A piping and flare nuts.
(2) Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent
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 pinching,
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.
Copper pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable Table 1 Thicknesses of Annealed Copper Pipes
that the amount of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10m. Do not
use copper pipes having a collapsed, deformed or discolored

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 Table1.Never use copper pipes thinner than 0.8mm even
when it is available on the market.
WARNING
(1) Do not use the existing (for R22) piping and flare 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 specified 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 10ft (3m), sound of the outdoor unit will be transferred to the indoor unit, which
will cause large operating sound or some abnormal sound.

CUTTING THE HOLE IN THE WALL FOR THE CONNECTING PIPING
(1) Cut a 2-9/16" (65 mm) diameter hole in the wall at the position shown
in (Fig. 1).
(2) When cutting the wall hole at the inside of the installation frame, cut
the hole within the range of the left and right center marks of the
installation frame.
When cutting the wall hole at the outside of the installation frame,
cut the hole at least 3/8" (10 mm) lower.
(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.) (Fig. 5)
(6) For left piping and right piping, cut the hole a little lower so that
drain water will flow freely. (Fig. 1)
2.
INSTALLING THE WALL HOOK BRACKET
(1) Install the wall hook bracket so that it is correctly positioned hori-
zontally and vertically. If the wall hook bracket is titled, water will
drip to the floor.
(2) Install the wall hook bracket so that it is strong enough to with-
stand the weight of an adult.
G Fasten the wall hook bracket to the wall with 6 or more screws
through the holes near the outer edge of the bracket.
G 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.

Install the indoor unit piping in the direction of the wall hole and
bind the drain hose and pipe together with vinyl tape. (Fig. 3)

(4) Be sure to fix the drain hose with tape to the bot-
tom of piping.
(5) Prevent drain water frozen under low tempera-
ture environment.
When installing indoor unit's drain hose outdoors,
necessary measure for frost protection should be
taken to prevent drain water frozen.
G 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.

(1) Fasten a flare nut with a torque wrench as instructed in this manual. If
fastened too tight, the flare nut may be broken after a long period of time
and cause a leakage of refrigerant.
(2) During installation, make sure that the refrigerant pipe is attached firmly
before you run the compressor. Do not operate the compressor under the
condition of refrigerant piping not attached properly with 2-way or 3-way
valve open. This may cause abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle
that leads to breakage and even injury.
