INFORMATION ... This symbol identies useful tips

or additional information.

DANGER

• Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen. A
massive leak will result in oxygen depletion, especially in
basements, and an asphyxiation hazard will result in seri-

ous injury or death.

• Do not ground units to water pipes, gas pipes, telephone
wires, or lightning rods as incomplete grounding will result
a severe shock hazard resulting in severe injury or death.
Additionally, grounding to gas pipes will result a gas leak

and potential explosion resulting in severe injury or death.

• If refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate the

area immediately. Refrigerant gas will result in producing

toxic gas if it comes into contact with re. Exposure to this

gas will result in 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 will result in seri-

ous 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 will result in 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 could 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, could result in

oxygen deciency.

• Use only specied accessories and parts for installation
work. Failure to use specied parts could result in water
leakage, electric shocks, 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 could result in the unit

falling and causing injuries.

• Take into account strong winds, typhoons, or earthquakes
when installing. Improper installation could 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 could result in electric

shocks 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

could result in re.

• When wiring, position the wires so that the control box

cover can be securely fastened. Improper positioning of

the control box cover could 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 Cir-

cuit Breaker (GFCI). Although this is a recognized mea­sure for additional protection, with the grounding system in
North America, a dedicated GFCI is not necessary.

• Securely fasten the unit terminal cover (panel). If the
terminal cover/panel is not installed properly, dust or

water may enter the outdoor unit and could result in re or

electric shock.

• When installing or relocating the system, keep the refriger-
ant 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 could result
in 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 could result.

3P362438-1B Englishi

CAUTION

• Do not touch the switch with wet ngers. Touching a switch
with wet ngers may result in electric shock.

• Do not allow children to play on or around the unit or it

may result in injury.

• The heat exchanger ns are sharp enough to cut, and

may result in injury if improperly used. To avoid injury wear

glove or cover the ns when 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. It may result in your hands get­ting 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 result.

• 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 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 uores-

cent 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 pro-

duced, for example, in a kitchen.

Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall off and thus may
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 car-

bon 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

may result in a re.

• Take adequate measures to prevent the outdoor unit from

being used as a shelter by small animals. Small animals
making contact with electrical parts may result in malfunc-

tions, smoke, or re. Instruct the customer to keep the

area around the unit clean.

NOTE

• Install the power supply and transmission wires for the in-
door and outdoor units at least 3.5ft.(1m) away from tele-

visions or radios to prevent image interference or noise.

Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 3.5ft.(1m)
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 result in deterioration.

• This air conditioner or heat pump is an appliance that

should not be accessible to the general public.

• As design pressure is 478 psi (3.3 MPa), the wall thick-
ness of eld-installed pipes should be selected in accor-

dance with the relevant local, state, and national regula­tions.

Codes and Regulations

This product is designed and manufactured to comply with
national codes. Installation in accordance with such codes
and/or prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility
of the installer. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility

An inverter air conditioner may cause electronic noise generated from

AM broadcasting. Examine where to install the main air conditioner

and electric wires, keeping proper distances away from stereo equip­ment, personal computers, etc.
Particularly for locations with weak reception, ensure there is a dis­tance of at least 10 ft. (3 m) for indoor remote controllers, place power
wiring and transmission wiring in conduits, and ground the conduits.

• The refrigerant R410A itself is nontoxic, non-ammable and is safe.
If the refrigerant should leak however, its concentration may exceed

the allowable limit depending on room size. Due to this, it could be
necessary to take measures against leakage. Refer to 18. Caution

for refrigerant leaks on page43.

• Do not install in the following locations:

- Locations where sulfurous acids and other corrosive gases may
be present in the atmosphere. Copper piping and soldered joints
may corrode, causing refrigerant to leak.

- Locations where a mineral oil mist, spray or vapor may be pres­ent in the atmosphere. Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall off or
cause water leakage.

- Locations where equipment that produces electromagnetic
waves is found. The electromagnetic waves may cause the con­trol system to malfunction, preventing normal operation.

4.2. Weather related precautions

• Select a place where the rain can be avoided as much as possible.

• Be sure that the air inlet of the unit is not positioned towards the

main wind direction. Frontal wind will disturb the operation of the
unit. If necessary, use a screen to block the wind.

• Ensure that water cannot cause any damage to the location by

adding water drains to the foundation and prevent water traps in the
construction.

• Do not install the unit in areas where the air contains high levels of
salt such as that near the ocean.

Refrigerant pipe size and allowable pipe length

7.1. General information

NOTE

The refrigerant R410A requires strict cautions for keeping the system
clean, dry and tight.

• Clean and dry: foreign materials (including mineral oils or moisture)
should be prevented from getting mixed into the system.

• Tight: R410A does not contain any chlorine, does not destroy

the ozone layer, and does not reduce earth’s protection against
harmful ultraviolet radiation. R410A can contribute slightly to the
greenhouse effect if it is released. Therefore we should take special
attention to check the tightness of the installation.

7.2 . Selection of piping material

NOTE

Piping and other pressure containing parts shall comply with the appli­cable legislation and shall be suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric

acid deoxidized seamless copper for refrigerant.

NOTE

• All eld piping must be installed by a licensed refrigeration techni­cian and must comply with relevant local and national regulations.

• After piping work is complete, do not under any circumstances open
the stop valve until 9. Field wiring on page18 and 12. Checking of
device and installation conditions on page23 are complete.

• Do not use ux when brazing the refrigerant piping. Use the phos­phor copper brazing ller metal (B-Cu93P-710/795 : ISO 3677)
which does not require ux. Flux has extremely negative effect on
refrigerant piping systems. For instance, if the chlorine based ux is
used, it will cause pipe corrosion or, in particular, if the ux contains
uorine, it will damage the refrigerant oil.

• Use only pipes which are clean inside and outside and which do not
accumulate harmful sulfur, oxidants, dirt, cutting oils, moisture, or

other contamination. (Foreign materials inside pipes including oils
for fabrication must be 0.14 gr/10 ft. or less.)

• Use the following items for the refrigerant piping.

Material : Jointless phosphor-deoxidized copper pipe
Size : See 7.3. Selection of piping size to determine the correct

size.
Thickness : Select a thickness for the refrigerant piping which
complies with national and local laws.

• For piping work, follow the maximum tolerated length, difference in

height, and length after a branch indicated in the 7.5. System piping
(length) limitations.

• Outdoor unit multi connection piping kit and refrigerant branching
kit (sold separately) are needed for connection of piping between
outdoor units (in case of multi system) and piping branches.

• Use only separately sold items selected specically according to

the outdoor unit multi connection piping kit, the refrigerant branch­ing kit selection in the 7.4. Selection of refrigerant branch kits.
