SAFETY PRECAUTION

Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.
●
The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.
●
! WARNING ........ Incorrect methods of installation may cause death or serious injury.
! CAUTION ......... Improper installation may result in serious consequence.
Be sure that the unit operates in proper condition after installation. Explain to customer the proper way of
operating the unit as described in the user's guide.
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) models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special.
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 prevent erroneous charging with conventional refrigerant (R22) and for safety.
Therefore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 1/2 UNF 20 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
openings 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.
Please request your sales agent or qualifi ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or fi re may occur if you do the installation work yourself.
●
Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may cause water leakage, electric
●
shock and fi re.
Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not, the units may collapse and impose
●
danger.
● Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when dealing with the electrical work. Use
power cables approved by the authorities of your country.
Be sure to use the specifi ed wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight after the conductors of the wire
●
are inserted into the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating and fi re.
Please use the specifi ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage, electric shock and fi re may occur.
●
Be sure to use the specifi ed piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.
●
When installing or removing an air conditioner, only specifi ed refrigerant (R410A) shall be allowed, do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration
●
cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high that may cause rupture to the refrigeration cycle.
● Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fi re, a poisonous gas may occur.
After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming into
●
contact with fi re in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
Unauthorized modifi cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a qualifi ed air conditioner technician or electrician.
●
Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and fi re, etc.
A circuit breaker or fuse (16A time delay) must be installed. Without a circuit breaker or fuse the danger of electric shock exists.
●
A main switch with a contact gap of more than 3mm has to be installed in the power supply line to the outdoor unit.
Do not install the unit near a location where there is fl ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch fi re if fl ammable gas leaks around it.
●
Please ensure smooth fl ow of water when installing the drain hose.
●
Piping shall be suitable supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.
●
1 Installation of Mounting Plate, Wall Penetration and Installation of Protection Pipe
! CAUTION
● The draining of the water container inside the indoor unit can be done from the
left. Therefore the hanger must be fi xed horizontally or slightly tilted towards the
side of drain hose. Otherwise, condensed water may overfl ow the water container.
Direct Mounting On The Wall
● Please use hidden beams in the wall to hold the mounting plate.
Procedures of Installation and Precautions
● Procedures to fi x the mounting plate.
1. Drill holes on wall. 2. Push plug into the holes.
(As shown below) (As shown below)
Procedures to fi x the holder of remote control.
●
1. Drill holes on wall. 2. Push plug into the holes.
(As shown below) (As shown below)
Wall Penetration and Installation of Protection Pipe
● Drill a ø 65mm hole on
wall which is slightly tilted
towards the outdoor side.
Drill the wall at a small
angle.
● Cut the protection pipe
according to the wall
thickness.
● Empty gap in the sleeve
of protection pipe should
be completely sealed with
putty to avoid dripping of
rain water into the room.

2 Installation of the Indoor Unit
VERTICALLY DOWNWARD PIPING
Preparation
● Connect connecting cord.
● Pull out the pipe, connecting cord and drain hose.
Installation
● The upper part of the Indoor unit is hanged on the mounting plate.
● The projection at the lower part of the Indoor unit is hooked onto the mounting plate.
● Push up the (PUSH) sections at the
bottom of the indoor unit and pull the
bottom plate towards you. Then the
claws are released from the stationary
plate.
