Special tools for R410A
Tool name
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.
To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base
Charge hose
size were changed.
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a
Vacuum pump
vacuum pump adapter.
Gas leakage
Special gas leakage detector for HFC refrigerant R410A.
detector
Copper pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable that the amount of residual
oil is less than 40 mg/10 m. Do not use copper pipes having a collapsed, deformed or
discolored portion (especially on the interior surface). Otherwise, the expansion valve or
capillary tube may become blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when using conventional
refrigerant, 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.

Accessories
For installation purposes, be sure to use the parts supplied by the manufacturer or other
prescribed parts. The use of non-prescribed parts can cause serious accidents such as
the unit falling, water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
Do not throw away the connecting parts until the installation has been complete.

CONNECTABLE INDOOR UNIT CAPACITY TYPE
The total capacity of the indoor units connected must be between 27,000 and
49,000BTU.
Be sure to check the connecting pattern in technical manual when installed since
connection pattern is specified in it. Operation cannot be guaranteed if connected by a
method not specified in it. It can cause the fault of the product.
At least three indoor units must be connected to the outdoor unit.
•
To install an indoor unit, refer to the installation Manual included with the indoor unit.

When connecting models 7–12 to the outdoor unit, the included adapter is necessary.
(For more information, refer to "4.1.3. HOW TO USE ADAPTER".)
*2
When connecting model 24 to the outdoor unit, connect only two other indoor units to
the outdoor unit. (Max indoor unit capacity connection: 24,000 + 12,000 + 12,000 BTU)
In addition, the included adapter is necessary to connect the indoor unit to the outdoor
unit. (For more information, refer to "4.1.3. HOW TO USE ADAPTER".)

LIMITATION OF REFRIGERANT PIPING LENGTH
The total maximum pipe lengths and height difference of this product are shown in the
table.
If the units are further apart than this, correct operation cannot be guaranteed.

If the total piping length is 51 m or longer, additional refrigerant charging is necessary.
(For more information, refer to "6.2. Additional charging".)
