  • Page 2: Safety Precaution

    SAFETY PRECAUTION 1-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply circuit must be disconnected. 1-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A Use new refrigerant pipes. Do not use refrigerant other than R410A. If other refrigerant (R22 etc.) is used, chlorine in refrige- Make sure that the inside and outside of refrige- rant can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
  • Page 3 [1] Cautions for service (1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely. (2) Do not release refrigerant in the air. (3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant. (4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously. Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant.
  • Page 4 (2) Cautions for refrigerant piping work New refrigerant R410A is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R410A is same as for R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the working pressure of R410A is 1.6 times higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.
  • Page 5: Overview Of Unit

    OVERVIEW OF UNIT 2-1. SYSTEM OUTLINE The additional connection of the Branch Box together with employment of the compact trunk-looking outdoor unit can successfully realizes a long distance piping for big houses. Equipped with a microprocessor, the Branch Box can trans- late the transmission signal of indoor units to achieve the optimum control.

  • Page 7 2-3. SIMPLIFIED PIPING SYSTEM Piping connection size The piping connection size differs according to the type and capacity of indoor units. Liquid (mm) 9.52 Match the piping connection size of branch box with indoor unit. If the piping connection size of branch box does not match the piping connection size of indoor unit, use optional different-diameter (deformed) joints to the branch box side.
