DANGER
• Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxy-
gen. A massive leak can lead to oxygen depletion,
especially in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard
could occur leading to serious injury or death.
• Do not ground units to water pipes, gas pipes, tele-
phone wires, or lightning rods as incomplete grounding can cause a severe shock hazard resulting in
severe injury or death. Additionally, grounding to gas
pipes could cause a gas leak and potential explosion
causing severe injury or death.
• If refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate
the area immediately. Refrigerant gas may produce
toxic gas if it comes in contact with re. Exposure to
this gas could cause severe injury or death.
• After completing the installation work, check that the
refrigerant gas does not leak throughout the system.
• Do not install unit in an area where ammable materi-
als are present due to risk of explosions that can
cause serious injury or death.
• Safely dispose of all packing and transportation
materials in accordance with federal/state/local laws
or ordinances. Packing materials such as nails and
other metal or wood parts, including plastic packing
materials used for transportation, may cause injuries
or death by suffocation.
WARNING
• Only qualied personnel must carry out the installa-
tion work. Installation must be done in accordance
with this installation manual. Improper installation
may result in water leakage, electric shock, or re.
• When installing the unit in a small room, take mea-
sures to keep the refrigerant concentration from
exceeding allowable safety limits. Excessive refrigerant leaks, in the event of an accident in a closed
ambient space, can lead to oxygen deciency.
• Use only specied accessories and parts for installa-
tion work. Failure to use specied parts may result in
water leakage, electric shocks, re, or the unit falling.
• Install the air conditioner on a foundation strong
enough that it can withstand the weight of the unit. A
foundation of insufcient strength may result in the
unit falling and causing injuries.
• Take into account strong winds, typhoons, or earth-
quakes when installing. Improper installation may
result in the unit falling and causing accidents.
• Make sure that a separate power supply circuit is
provided for this unit and that all electrical work is
carried out by qualied personnel according to local,
state and national regulations. An insufcient power
supply capacity or improper electrical construction
may lead to electric shocks or re.
• Make sure that all wiring is secured, that specied
wires are used, and that no external forces act on the
terminal connections or wires. Improper connections
or installation may result in re.

Page 3
• When wiring, position the wires so that the control
box cover can be securely fastened. Improper positioning of the control box cover may result in electric
shocks, re, or the terminals overheating.
• Before touching electrical parts, turn off the unit.
• This equipment can be installed with a Ground-Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Although this is a recognized measure for additional protection, with the
grounding system in North America, a dedicated GFCI
is not necessary.
• When installing or relocating the system, keep the
refrigerant circuit free from substances other than the
specied refrigerant (R410A) such as air. Any presence of air or other foreign substance in the refrigerant circuit can cause an abnormal pressure rise or
rupture, resulting in injury.
• Do not change the setting of the protection devices. If
the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protection device is shorted and operated forcibly, or parts
other than those specied by Daikin are used, re or
explosion may occur.
CAUTION
• Do not touch the switch with wet ngers. Touching a
switch with wet ngers can cause electric shock.
• Do not allow children to play on or around the unit to
prevent injury.
• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immedi-
ately after operation as the refrigerant pipes may be
hot or cold, depending on the condition of the refrigerant owing through the refrigerant piping, compressor, and other refrigerant cycle parts. Your hands may
suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the refrigerant
pipes. To avoid injury, give the pipes time to return to
normal temperature or, if you must touch them, be
sure to wear proper gloves.
• Heat exchanger ns are sharp enough to cut. To avoid
injury, wear glove or cover the ns when working
around them.
• Install drain piping to proper drainage. Improper drain
piping may result in water leakage and property damage.
• Insulate piping to prevent condensation.
• Be careful when transporting the product.
• Do not turn off the power supply immediately after
stopping operation. Always wait for at least 5 minutes
before turning off the power supply. Otherwise, water
leakage may occur.
• Do not use a charging cylinder. Using a charging
cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
• Refrigerant R410A in the system must be kept clean,
dry, and tight.
(a) Clean and Dry -- Foreign materials (including
mineral oils such as SUNISO oil or moisture)
should be prevented from getting into the system.
(b)
Tight -- R410A does not contain any chlorine, does
not destroy the ozone layer, and does not reduce the
earth’s protection again harmful ultraviolet radiation.
R410A can contribute to the greenhouse effect if it is
released. Therefore take proper measures to check
for the tightness of the refrigerant piping installation.
Read the chapter REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK and
follow the procedures.
• Since R410A is a blend, the required additional refrig-
erant must be charged in its liquid state. If the refrigerant is charged in a gaseous state, its composition can
change and the system will not work properly.
• The indoor unit is for R410A. See the catalog for
indoor models that can be connected. Normal operation is not possible when connected to other units.
• Handheld remote controller transmitting distance can
be shorter than expected in rooms with electronic
uorescent lamps (inverter or rapid start types). Install
the indoor unit far away from uorescent lamps as
much as possible.
• Indoor units are for indoor installation only. Outdoor
units can be installed either outdoors or indoors.
• Do not install the air conditioner in the following
locations:
(a) Where a mineral oil mist or 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 cause the unit to malfunction.
(d) Where ammable gas may leak, where there is
carbon ber, or ignitable dust suspension in the
air, or where volatile ammables such as thinner
or gasoline are handled. Operating the unit in
such conditions can cause a re.
NOTE
• Install the power supply and control wires for the
indoor and outdoor units at least 3.5 feet (1.0m) away
from televisions or radios to prevent image interference or noise. Depending on the radio waves, a dis-
tance of 3.5 feet (1.0m) may not be sufcient to
eliminate the noise.
• Dismantling the unit, treatment of the refrigerant, oil
and additional parts must be done in accordance with
the relevant local, state, and national regulations.
• Do not use the following tools that are used with
conventional refrigerants: gauge manifold, charge
hose, gas leak detector, reverse ow check valve,
refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge, or refrigerant
recovery equipment.
• If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil are
mixed in R410A, the refrigerant may deteriorate.
• This air conditioner is an appliance that should not be
accessible to the general public.
• As design pressure is 478 psi (3.3MPa), the wall
thickness of eld-installed pipes should be selected in
accordance with the relevant local, state, and national
regulations.

WARNING
Attach insulation sleeve
• Never connect power supply wiring to the terminal block
for remote controller wiring as this could damage the
entire system.
• Use only specied wire and connect wires to the terminal
tightly. Be careful wires do not place external stress on
terminals. Keep wires in neat order so as not to obstruct
other equipment. Make sure that the control box cover ts
tightly. Incomplete connections could result in overheating
and, in worse case, result in electric shock or re.
• To avoid a short circuit in the control box, be sure to apply
sealing material or putty (not included) to the wiring hole
to prevent the inltration of water as well as insects or
other small creatures. Otherwise a short-circuit may occur
inside the control box.
2. Tightening torque for the terminal screws.
• Use the correct screwdriver for tightening the terminal
screws. If the blade of screwdriver is too small, the
head of the screw might be damaged, and the screw
will not be properly tightened.
• If the terminal screws are tightened too hard, screws
might be damaged.
• Refer to the table below for the tightening torque of
the terminal screws.

CAUTION
• When clamping the wirings, be sure no tension is applied
to the wire connections by using the included clamp. Also,
when wiring, make sure the cover on the control box ts
snugly by arranging the wirings neatly and attaching the
control box cover rmly. When attaching the control box
cover, make sure no wirings get caught in the edges. Pass
wiring through holes to prevent damage to them.
• Make sure the remote controller wiring and transmission
wiring between the units, and other electrical wiring do not
pass through the same locations outside the unit, separating them by at least 2 in. (50 mm), otherwise electrical
noise (external static) could cause incorrect operation or
breakage.
[ PRECAUTIONS ]
1. Use round crimp-style terminals for connecting wires to
the power supply terminal block.
(Refer to Fig. 23)
If unavailable, observe the following points when wiring.
• Do not connect wires of different gauge to the same
power supply terminal.
(Looseness in the connection may cause overheating.)
• Use the specied electric wire. Connect the wire
securely to the terminal. Lock the wire down without
applying excessive force to the terminal.
3. Do not connect wires of different gauge to the same
ground terminal. Looseness in the connection may
lessen protection.
4. Keep transmission wiring at least 2 in. (50 mm) away
from power supply wiring. The equipment may malfunc-
tion if subjected to electrical (external) noise.
5. For remote controller wiring, refer to the installation
manual attached to the remote controller.
