1.2. Special precautions
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A
QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected
and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate
earthing (grounding) can cause accidental injury or death.
• Earth (Ground) the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points
and a possible fi re hazard.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to
help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin
aluminum fi ns on the air conditioner can cut your fi ngers.
When Installing...
...In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. It may be necessary
to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support
.
...In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent “sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to walls and fl oors.
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the
outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.
...In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame.
Provide a suitable air baffl e.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the fl are method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the fl are and union tubes before
connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before opening the refrigerant valves.
NOTE:
Depending on the system type, liquid and gas lines may be either narrow or wide. Therefore, to avoid confusion the refrigerant tubing for your particular model is specifi ed as
either “small” or “large” rather than as “liquid” or “gas”.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main circuit breaker panel before opening the unit to check
or repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fi ngers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you fi nish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of
wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced.
• After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using the operating manual.
WARNING
To avoid getting an electric shock, never touch the electrical components soon after the
power supply has been turned off. After turning off the power, always wait 10 minutes or
more before you touch the electrical components.
Installation of this product must be done by experienced service technicians or
professional installers only in accordance with this manual. Installation by nonprofessional or improper installation of the product might cause serious accidents such
as injury, water leakage, electric shock, or fi re. If the product is installed in disregard of
the instructions in this manual, it will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not turn on the power until all work has been completed. Turning on the power before
the work is completed can cause serious accidents such as an electric shock or a fi re.
If refrigerant leaks when you are working, ventilate the area. If the leaking refrigerant is
exposed to a direct fl ame, it may produce a toxic gas.
Installation must be performed in accordance with regulations, codes, or standards for
electrical wiring and equipment in each country, region, or the installation place.
Do not use this equipment with air or any other unspecifi ed refrigerant in the refrigerant
lines. Excess pressure can cause a rupture.
During installation, make sure that the refrigerant pipe is attached fi rmly before you
run the compressor. Do not operate the compressor under the condition of refrigerant
piping not attached properly with 2-way or 3-way valve open. This may cause abnormal
pressure in the refrigeration cycle that leads to rupture and even injury.
When installing or relocating the air conditioner, do not mix gases other than the
specifi ed refrigerant (R410A) to enter the refrigerant cycle.
If air or other gas enters the refrigerant cycle, the pressure inside the cycle will rise to
an abnormally high value and cause rupture, injury, etc.
For appropriate working of the air conditioner, install it as written in this manual.
To connect indoor unit and outdoor unit, or indoor unit and branch box, use air
conditioner piping and cables available through your local distributor. This manual
describes proper connections using such installation set.
Do not modify power cable, use extension cable or branch wiring. Improper use may
cause electric shock or fi re by poor connection, insuffi cient insulation or over current.
Do not purge the air with refrigerants but use a vacuum pump to vacuum the installation.
There is no extra refrigerant in the outdoor unit for air purging.
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources
(for example: open fl ames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater.
Do not pierce or burn.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an outdoor.
Using the same vacuum pump for different refrigerants may damage the vacuum pump
or the unit.
Use a clean gauge manifold, vacuum pump and charging hose for R410A exclusively.

2. ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
• All Fujitsu General products are manufactured to metric units and tolerances.
United States customary units are provided for reference only. In cases where exact
dimensions and tolerances are required, always refer to metric units.
2.1. Special tools for R410A
Tool name Change from R22 to R410A
Gauge manifold
Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a conventional (R22) gauge. To prevent erroneous mixing of other
refrigerants, the diameter of each port has been changed.
It is recommended to use gauge with seals -0.1 to 5.3 MPa
(-1 to 53 bar) for high pressure.
-0.1 to 3.8 MPa (-1 to 38 bar) for low pressure.
Charge hose
To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base
size were changed.(R410A)
Vacuum pump
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a
vacuum pump adapter.
(Use of a vacuum pump with a series motor is prohibited.)
Gas leakage detector
Special gas leakage detector for HFC refrigerant R410A.
Copper pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable that the amount of residual
oil is less than 40 mg/10 m. Do not use copper pipes having a collapsed, deformed or
discolored portion (especially on the interior surface). Otherwise, the expansion value or
capillary tube may become blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when using R22, it is necessary to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A are as shown in Table1. Never use copper
pipes thinner than 0.8 mm even when it is available on the market.
Thicknesses of Annealed Copper Pipes
Nominal diameter (in.) Outer diameter (mm) Thickness [mm(in.)]
1/4 6.35
0.80 (0.032)3/8 9.52
1/2 12.7
WARNING
To install a unit that uses R410A refrigerant, use dedicated tools and piping materials
that have been manufactured specifi cally for R410A use. Because the pressure of
R410A refrigerant is approximately 1.6 times higher than R22, failure to use dedicated
piping material or improper installation can cause rupture or injury. Furthermore, it can
cause serious accidents such as water leakage, electric shock, or fi re.
2.2. Power
WARNING
Always use a special branch circuit and install a special receptacle to supply power to
the room air conditioner.
Use a circuit breaker and receptacle matched to the capacity of the air conditioner.
Install a leakage circuit breaker in accordance with the related laws and regulations
and electric company standards.
The circuit breaker is installed in the permanent wiring. Always use a circuit that can
trip all the poles of the wiring and has an isolation distance of at least 3 mm between
the contacts of each pole.
CAUTION
The power source capacity must be the sum of the air conditioner current and the current of other electrical appliances. When the current contracted capacity is insuffi cient,
change the contracted capacity.
When the voltage is low and the air conditioner is diffi cult to start, contact the power
company the voltage raised.
