Before Installation - Daikin FCQ18PVJU Installation Manual

• When wiring the power supply and connecting the
remote controller wire and transmission wire, position
the wires so that the control box lid can be securely
fastened.
Improper positioning of the control box lid may result in
electric shocks, fi re or the terminals overheating.
• Before touching electrical parts, turn off the unit.
• Do not touch the switch with wet fi ngers.
Touching a switch with wet fi ngers can cause electric shock.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in
electric shocks, or fi re.
• Do not install the air conditioner in the following loca-
tions:
(a) where a mineral oil mist or an oil spray or vapor is
produced, for example in a kitchen
Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall off or result in
water leakage.
(b) where corrosive gas, such as sulfurous acid gas, is
produced
Corroding copper pipes or soldered parts may result in
refrigerant leakage.
(c) near machinery emitting electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic waves may disturb the operation of the
control system and result in a malfunction of the equip-
ment.
(d) where fl ammable gases may leak, where there are
carbon fi ber or ignitable dust suspensions in the air, or
where volatile fl ammables such as thinner or gasoline
are handled.
Operating the unit in such conditions may result in fi re.
• Heat exchanger fi ns are sharp to cut.
To avoid injury wear gloves to cover the fi ns when working
around them.
• Refrigerant pipes may be very hot or very cold during
or immediately after operation.
Touching them could result in burns or frostbite. To avoid
injury give the pipes time to return to normal temperature
or, if you must touch them, be sure to wear proper gloves.
CAUTION
• While following the instructions in this installation
manual, install drain pipe in order to ensure proper
drainage and insulate pipe in order to prevent conden-
sate.
Improper drain pipe may result in water leakage and prop-
erty damage.
• Be very careful about product transportation.
Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use
any PP bands for a means of transportation. It is danger-
ous.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials.
Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden
parts, may cause stabs or other injuries.
Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that
children will not play with them. If children play with a plastic
bag which was not torn apart, they face the risk of suffoca-
tion.
• Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping
operation.
Always wait at least 5 minutes before turning off the power.
Otherwise, water leakage and trouble may occur.
English
• Make sure to provide for adequate measures in order to
prevent that the outdoor unit be used as a shelter by
small animals.
Small animals making contact with electrical parts can
cause malfunctions, smoke or fi re. Please instruct the
customer to keep the area around the unit clean.
NOTE
• Install the indoor and outdoor units, power supply wire
and transmission wire at least 3.5ft. away from televi-
sions or radios in order to prevent image interference
or noise.
(Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 3.5ft. may not
be suffi cient enough to eliminate the noise.)
• Remote controller (wireless kit) transmitting distance
can result shorter than expected in rooms with elec-
tronic fl uorescent lamps. (inverter or rapid start types)
Install the indoor unit as far away from fl uorescent lamps as
possible.
• In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be re-
quired to take adequate measures.
• Dismantling of the unit, treatment of the refrigerant, oil
and eventual other parts, should be done in accor-
dance with the relevant local and national regulations.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

• When moving the unit while removing it from the pack-
ing case, be sure to lift it by the four hanger brackets.
Avoid putting any pressure on other parts especially
the refrigerant piping.
• Be sure to check the type of R410A refrigerant to be used
before installing the unit. (Using an incorrect refrigerant will
prevent normal operation of the unit.)
• The accessories needed for installation must be retained in
your custody until the installation work is completed. Do not
discard them!
• Decide upon a line of transport.
• Leave the unit inside its packaging while moving, until
reaching the installation site. Where unpacking is unavoid-
able, use a sling of soft material or protective plates togeth-
er with a rope when lifting, to avoid damage or scratches to
the unit.
• When moving the unit at or after opening, hold the unit by
the hanger brackets (× 4). Do not apply force to the refriger-
ant pipe, drain pipe or plastic parts.
• For the installation of an outdoor unit, refer to the installa-
tion manual attached to the outdoor unit.
• Do not install or operate the unit in rooms mentioned below.
• Laden with mineral oil, or fi lled with oil vapor or spray
like in kitchens. (Plastic parts may deteriorate which
could eventually cause the unit to fall out of place, or
could lead to leaks.)
• Where corrosive gas like sulfurous gas exists.
(Copper tubing and brazed spots may corrode which
could eventually lead to refrigerant leaks.)
• Where machines can generate electromagnetic
waves. (Control system may malfunction.)
• Where the air contains high levels of salt such as that
near the ocean and where voltage fl uctuates greatly
such as that in factories. Also in vehicles or vessels.
