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 leak 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.
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them
directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to
evacuate the installation.
A siphon tube is NOT presentCharge 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

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
to a utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock.
▪ 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.
CAUTION
When connecting the power supply, the earth connection
must be made before the current-carrying connections are
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:
▪ 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.
▪ Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.
Install power cables at least 1metre away from televisions or radios
to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of
1metre may not be sufficient.
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
unit.
NOTICE
Only applicable if the power supply is three‑phase, and the
compressor has an ON/OFF starting method.
If there exists the possibility of reversed phase after a
momentary black out and the power goes on and off while
the product is operating, attach a reversed phase
protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed
phase can break the compressor and other parts.

5.2.3Securing 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 1m3 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 0.44kg/m3.

3 Calculate the refrigerant density using the results of the
calculations in steps 1 and 2 above. If the result of the above
calculation exceeds the maximum concentration level, a
ventilation opening to the adjacent room shall be made.

5.3Preparing refrigerant piping
5.3.1Refrigerant piping requirements
NOTICE
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 to the greenhouse effect if it is released.
Therefore pay special attention to check the tightness
of the installation.
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be
suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidised
seamless copper for refrigerant.
▪ Only use phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.
▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must
be ≤30mg/10m.
▪ Temper grade: use piping with temper grade in function of the
pipe diameter as listed in table below.
Pipe ØTemper grade of piping material
≤15.9mmO (annealed)
≥19.1mm1/2H (half hard)
▪ All piping lengths and distances have been taken into
consideration (see "5.3.4About the piping length"on page14).

Conditions:
a The piping length between all indoor units to the nearest branch
kit is ≤40m.
Example: h, i, j … p≤40m
b It is necessary to increase the pipe size of the gas and liquid
piping if the pipe length between the first branch kit and the

If the increased pipe size is larger than the pipe size of the main
pipe, then the pipe size of the main pipe has to be increased as
well.
(a) If the size-up size is NOT available, you must use the
standard size. Sizes bigger than the size-up size are NOT
allowed. But even if you use the standard size, you can
increase the maximum allowable length after the first branch if
all other conditions are met.
Example: unit8: b+c+d+e+f+g+p≤90m and b+c+d+e+f
+g>40m; increase the pipe size of b, c, d, e, f, g.
c When the piping size is increased (stepb), the piping length
has to be counted as double (except for the main pipe and the
pipes that are not increased in pipe size).
The total piping length has to be within limitations (see table
above).
d The piping length difference between the nearest indoor unit
(from first branch) to the outdoor unit and the farthest indoor
unit to the outdoor unit is ≤40m.
Example: The farthest indoor unit 8. The nearest indoor unit 1
→ (a+b+c+d+e+f+g+p)–(a+h)≤40m.

▪ Fasten the unit in place using four foundation bolts M12. It is best
to screw in the foundation bolts until their length remains 20mm
above the foundation surface.
NOTICE
▪ Prepare a water drainage channel around the
foundation to drain waste water from around the unit.
During heating operation and when the outdoor
temperatures are negative, the drained water from the
outdoor unit will freeze up. If the water drainage is not
taken care of, the area around the unit might be very
slippery.
▪ When installed in a corrosive environment, use a nut
with plastic washer (a) to protect the nut tightening part
from rust.
6.4Connecting the refrigerant piping
6.4.2About connecting the refrigerant piping
Before connecting the refrigerant piping, make sure the outdoor and
indoor units are mounted.
Connecting the refrigerant piping involves:
▪ Routing and connecting the refrigerant piping to the outdoor unit
▪ Protecting the outdoor unit against contamination
▪ Connecting the refrigerant piping to the indoor units (see the
installation manual of the indoor units)
▪ Connecting the multi-connection piping kit
▪ Connecting the refrigerant branching kit
▪ Keeping in mind the guidelines for:
▪ Brazing
▪ Using the stop valves
▪ Removing the pinched pipes
6.4.3To route the refrigerant piping
Installation of refrigerant piping is possible as front connection or
side connection (when taken out from the bottom) as shown in the
figure below.
6.4.1Precautions when connecting the
refrigerant piping
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
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.
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them
directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to
evacuate the installation.
▪ Only use phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.

NOTICE
Precautions when making knockout holes:
▪ Avoid damaging the casing.
▪ After making the knockout holes, we recommend you
remove the burrs and paint the edges and areas
around the edges using repair paint to prevent rusting.
▪ When passing electrical wiring through the knockout
holes, wrap the wiring with protective tape to prevent
damage.

Precautions when connecting field piping. Add brazing
material as shown in the figure.
NOTICE
▪ Be sure to use the supplied accessory pipes when
carrying out piping work in the field.
▪ Be sure that the field installed piping does not touch
other pipes, the bottom panel or side panel. Especially
for the bottom and side connection, be sure to protect
the piping with suitable insulation, to prevent it from
coming into contact with the casing.
Connect the stop valves to the field piping using the accessory pipes
supplied with the unit.
The connections to the branch kits are the responsibility of the
installer (field piping).
6.4.5To connect the multi connection piping kit
NOTICE
Improper installation may lead to malfunction of the
outdoor unit.
▪ Install the joints horizontally, so that the caution label (a) attached
to the joint comes to the top.
▪ Do not tilt the joint more than 7.5° (see view A).
▪ Do not install the joint vertically (see view B).
6.4.6Multiple outdoor units: Knockout holes
ConnectionDescription
Front connectionRemove the front plate knockout holes to
connect.
