vibration.

▪ Make sure the area is well ventilated. Do NOT block any

ventilation openings.

▪ Make sure the unit is level.

Do NOT install the unit in the following places:

▪ In potentially explosive atmospheres.

▪ In places where there is machinery that emits electromagnetic

waves. Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system, and cause malfunction of the equipment.

▪ In places where there is a risk of fire due to the leakage of

flammable gases (example: thinner or gasoline), carbon fibre, ignitable dust.

▪ In places where corrosive gas (example: sulphurous acid gas) is

produced. Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause the refrigerant to leak.

1.3.3 Refrigerant

If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your application for more information.

NOTICE

Make sure refrigerant piping installation complies with applicable legislation. In Europe, EN378 is the applicable standard.

NOTICE

Make sure the field piping and connections are not subjected to stress.

WARNING

Always recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the installation.

NOTICE

After all the piping has been connected, make sure there is no gas leak. Use nitrogen to perform a gas leak detection.

NOTICE

▪ To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more

than the specified amount of refrigerant.

▪ When the refrigerant system is to be opened,

refrigerant must be treated according to the applicable legislation.

WARNING

Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the leak test and the vacuum drying.

▪ In case re-charge is required, refer to the nameplate of the unit. It

states the type of refrigerant and necessary amount.

▪ The unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending on pipe

sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional charging of refrigerant.

▪ Only use tools exclusively for the refrigerant type used in the

system, this to ensure pressure resistance and prevent foreign materials from entering into the system.

▪ Charge the liquid refrigerant as follows:

If Then

A siphon tube is present

(i.e., the cylinder is marked with "Liquid filling siphon attached")

Charge with the cylinder upright.

WARNING

During tests, NEVER pressurize the product with a pressure higher than the maximum allowable pressure (as indicated on the nameplate of the unit).

WARNING

Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks:

▪ Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room

can lead to oxygen deficiency.

▪ Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes

into contact with fire.

DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION

Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump

down the system, and there is a leakage in the refrigerant circuit:

▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function,

with which you can collect all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence: Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor because of air going into the operating compressor.

▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's

compressor does NOT have to operate.

A siphon tube is NOT present Charge with the cylinder upside

down.

▪ Open refrigerant cylinders slowly.

▪ Charge the refrigerant in liquid form. Adding it in gas form may

prevent normal operation.

CAUTION

When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or when pausing, close the valve of the refrigerant tank immediately. If the valve is not closed immediately, remaining pressure might charge additional refrigerant.

Possible consequence: Incorrect refrigerant amount.

1.3.4 Brine

If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your application for more information.

WARNING

The selection of the brine MUST be in accordance with the applicable legislation.

RXYSQ6T8Y1B9 VRV IV-S system air conditioner 4P482278-1 – 2017.04

Installer and user reference guide

switch box cover, connecting electrical wiring or touching electrical parts.

▪ Disconnect the power supply for more than 1 minute,

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.

WARNING

▪ ONLY use copper wires.

▪ Make sure the field wiring complies with the applicable

legislation.

▪ All field wiring must be performed in accordance with

the wiring diagram supplied with the product.

▪ NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they

do not come in contact with the piping and sharp edges. Make sure no external pressure is applied to the terminal connections.

▪ Make sure to install earth wiring. Do NOT earth the unit

▪ Make sure to use a dedicated power circuit. NEVER

use a power supply shared by another appliance.

▪ Make sure to install the required fuses or circuit

breakers.

▪ Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure

to do so may cause electric shock or fire.

▪ When installing the earth leakage protector, make sure

it is compatible with the inverter (resistant to high frequency electric noise) to avoid unnecessary opening of the earth leakage protector.

NOTICE

Precautions when laying power 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 below.

▪ 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.

▪ Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

Install power cables at least 1metre away from televisions or radios to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1metre may not be sufficient.

Installer and user reference guide

WARNING

▪ After finishing the electrical work, confirm that each

electrical component and terminal inside the electrical components box is connected securely.

▪ Make sure all covers are closed before starting up the

5.2.3 Securing safety against refrigerant leaks

About safety against refrigerant leaks

The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regulations or standards. The following standards may be applicable if local regulations are not available.

This system uses R410A as refrigerant. R410A itself is an entirely safe non-toxic, non-combustible refrigerant. Nevertheless care must be taken to ensure that the system is installed in a room which is sufficiently large. This assures that the maximum concentration level of refrigerant gas is not exceeded, in the unlikely event of major leak in the system and this in accordance to the local applicable regulations and standards.

About the maximum concentration level

The maximum charge of refrigerant and the calculation of the maximum concentration of refrigerant is directly related to the humanly occupied space in to which it could leak.

The unit of measurement of the concentration is kg/m3 (the weight in kg of the refrigerant gas in 1m3 volume of the occupied space).

Compliance to the local applicable regulations and standards for the maximum allowable concentration level is required.

According to the appropriate European Standard, the maximum allowed concentration level of refrigerant to a humanly space for R410A is limited to 0.44kg/m3.

a Direction of the refrigerant flow b Room where refrigerant leak has occurred (outflow of all

the refrigerant from the system)

Pay special attention to places, such as basements etc., where refrigerant can stay, since refrigerant is heavier than air.

a Warming up operation range

b Operation range

TAI Ambient indoor temperature

TAO Ambient outdoor temperature

If the unit is selected to operate at ambient temperatures lower than –5°C for 5 days or longer, with relative humidity levels exceeding 95%, we recommend to apply a Daikin range specifically designed for such application and/or to contact your dealer for further advice.
