established. When disconnecting the power supply, the
current-carrying connections must be separated before the
earth connection is. The length of the conductors between
the power supply stress relief and the terminal block itself
must be as such that the current-carrying wires are
tautened before the earth wire is in case the power supply
is pulled loose from the stress relief.
NOTICE
Precautions when laying power wiring:
1.2.6Electrical
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
▪ Turn OFF all power supply before removing the
switch box cover, connecting electrical wiring or
touching electrical parts.
▪ Disconnect the power supply for more than 1minute,
and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit
capacitors or electrical components before servicing.
The voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC before you
can touch electrical components. For the location of the
terminals, see the wiring diagram.
▪ Do NOT touch electrical components with wet hands.
▪ Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service
cover is removed.
WARNING
If NOT factory installed, a main switch or other means for
disconnection, having a contact separation in all poles
providing full disconnection under overvoltage category III
condition, MUST be installed in the fixed wiring.
▪ Do NOT connect wiring of different thicknesses to the
power terminal block (slack in the power wiring may
cause abnormal heat).
▪ When connecting wiring which is the same thickness,
do as shown in the figure above.
▪ For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect
firmly, then secure to prevent outside pressure being
exerted on the terminal board.
▪ Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the
terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will
damage the head and make proper tightening
impossible.

▪ Choose a location where the hot/cold air discharged from the unit
or the operation noise, will NOT disturb anyone.
WARNING
Do NOT install the air conditioner at any place where
flammable gas may leak out. If the gas leaks out and stays
around the air conditioner, a fire may break out.
▪ Install units, power cables and communication wiring at least 3m
away from televisions or radios to prevent interference. Depending
on the radio waves, a distance of 3m may not be sufficient.
▪ Objects placed under the unit may be damaged by water from the
drain.
WARNING
If appliances contain R32 refrigerant, then the floor area of
the room in which the appliances are installed, operated
and stored must be larger than the minimum floor area.
This applies to:
▪ Indoor units without refrigerant leakage sensor; in
case of indoor units with refrigerant leakage sensor,
consult the installation manual
▪ Outdoor units installed or stored indoors (example:
winter garden, garage, machinery room)
▪ Field piping in unventilated spaces
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored in a room without
continuously operating ignition sources (example: open
flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric
heater).
NOTICE
▪ Do NOT stack the units on each other.
▪ Do NOT hang the unit on a ceiling.
Strong winds (≥18 km/h) blowing against the outdoor unit’s air outlet
causes short circuit (suction of discharge air). This may result in:
▪ deterioration of the operational capacity;
▪ frequent frost acceleration in heating operation;
▪ disruption of operation due to decrease of low pressure or
increase of high pressure;
▪ a broken fan (if a strong wind blows continuously on the fan, it
may start rotating very fast, until it breaks).
It is recommended to install a baffle plate when the air outlet is
exposed to wind.
It is recommended to install the outdoor unit with the air inlet facing
the wall and NOT directly exposed to the wind.
5.2.1Installation site requirements of the
outdoor unit
INFORMATION
Also read the following requirements:
▪ General installation site requirements. See the
"General safety precautions" chapter.
▪ Refrigerant piping requirements (length, height
difference). See further in this "Preparation" chapter.
Mind the following spacing guidelines:
a Air outlet
b Air inlet
Allow 300mm of work space below the ceiling surface and 250mm
for piping and electrical servicing.
a Baffle plate
b Prevailing wind direction
c Air outlet
Do NOT install the unit in the following places:
▪ Sound sensitive areas (e.g. near a bedroom), so that the
operation noise will cause no trouble.
Note: If the sound is measured under actual installation
conditions, the measured value might be higher than the sound
pressure level mentioned in Sound spectrum in the data book due
to environmental noise and sound reflections.
INFORMATION
The sound pressure level is less than 70dBA.
▪ In places where a mineral oil mist, spray or vapour may be
present in the atmosphere. Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall
off or cause water leakage.
It is NOT recommended to install the unit in the following places
because it may shorten the life of the unit:
▪ Where the voltage fluctuates a lot
▪ In vehicles or vessels
▪ Where acidic or alkaline vapour is present
Seaside installation. Make sure the outdoor unit is NOT directly
exposed to sea winds. This is to prevent corrosion caused by high
levels of salt in the air, which might shorten the life of the unit.

5.2.2Additional installation site requirements
of the outdoor unit in cold climates
Protect the outdoor unit against direct snowfall and take care that the
outdoor unit is NEVER snowed up.
It is recommended to provide at least 150mm of free space below
the unit (300mm for heavy snowfall areas). Additionally, make sure
the unit is positioned at least 100mm above the maximum expected
level of snow. If necessary, construct a pedestal. See "6.3Mounting
the outdoor unit"[412] for more details.
In heavy snowfall areas it is very important to select an installation
site where the snow will NOT affect the unit. If lateral snowfall is
possible, make sure that the heat exchanger coil is NOT affected by
the snow. If necessary, install a snow cover or shed and a pedestal.
5.2.3Refrigerant piping length and height
difference
INFORMATION
For the Hybrid for Multi application and the DHW generator
for Multi, see the indoor unit installation manual for the
maximum allowable refrigerant piping length and height
difference.
The shorter the refrigerant piping, the better the performance of the
system.
The piping length and height differences must comply with the
following requirements.
