DANGER
• Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen. 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, telephone
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 into 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 materials are present due to risk of explosions that can cause
serious injury or death.
Safely dispose 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 qualied personnel must carry out the installation
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 measures 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 deciency.
• Use only specied accessories and parts for installation work. Failure to use specied parts may result in water leakage, electric shock, re, or the unit falling.
Install the air conditioner or heat pump on a foundation
strong enough that it can withstand the weight of the unit.
A foundation of insufcient strength may result in the unit
falling and causing injuries.
Ta ke into account strong winds, typhoons, or earthquakes 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
qualied personnel according to local, state, and national regulations. An insufcient power supply capacity or
improper electrical construction may lead to electric shock
or re.
• Make sure that all wiring is secured, that specied wires are used, and that no external forces act on the terminal
connections or wires. Improper connections or installation
may result in re.
When wiring, position the wires so that the electrical wiring box cover can be securely fastened. Improper positioning of the electrical wiring box cover may result in electric shock, re, or the terminals overheating.
Before touching electrical parts, turn off the unit.
It is recommended to install a ground fault circuit
interrupter if one is not already available. This helps
prevent electric shock or re.
Securely fasten the outdoor unit terminal cover (panel). If the
terminal cover/panel is not installed properly, dust or water
may enter the outdoor unit causing re or electric shock.
When installing or relocating the system, keep the refrigerant
circuit free from substances other than the specied
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
specied 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.
• The heat exchanger ns are sharp enough to cut. To avoid injury wear gloves or cover the ns while working around
them.
Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately 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.
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 immediately after stopping
operation. Always wait for at least 5 minutes before turning off the power. 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.
Tight -- R410A does not contain any chlorine, does not
(b)
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 refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state. If the refrigerant is charged in a state of gas, 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.
Remote controller (wireless kit) 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. This unit is for indoor use.
Do not install the air conditioner or heat pump 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.
Ta ke adequate measures to prevent the outdoor unit
from being used as a shelter by small animals. Small animals making contact with electrical parts can cause
malfunctions, smoke, or re. Instruct the user to keep the
area around the unit clean.
NOTE
Install the power supply and inter-unit wires for the indoor and outdoor units at least 3.5ft away from televisions or radios to prevent image interference or noise. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 3.5ft may not be
sufcient 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 or heat pump is an appliance that
should not be accessible to the general public.
• As design pressure is 478 psi, the wall thickness of eld-
installed pipes should be selected in accordance with the relevant local, state, and national regulations.
