2. ABOUT THE UNIT
2.1. Precautions for using R410A refrigerant
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R22)
models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant
(R22) models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special. (See
the table below.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant (R22) model with a new refrigerant
R410A model, always replace the conventional piping and fl are nuts with the R410A piping
and fl are nuts.
Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous charging with conventional refrigerant (R22) and for safety. Therefore,
check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 1/2 inch.]
Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than with
refrigerant (R22) models. Also, when storing the piping ,securely seal the opening by
pinching, taping, etc.
When charging the refrigerant, take into account the slight change in the composition of
the gas and liquid phases. And always charge from the liquid phase where refrigerant
composition is stable.

Gauge manifold
Charge hose
Vacuum pump
Gas leakage detectorSpecial 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 (0.004 oz/100 ft.). 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.
Do not use the existing (for R22) piping and fl are nuts.
If the existing materials are used, the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle will rise and
cause failure, injury, etc. (Use the special R410A materials.)
When installing and 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 failure, injury, etc.
2.3.
For authorized service personnel only.
For the air conditioner to operate satisfactorily, install it as outlined in this installation
manual.
Connect the indoor unit and outdoor unit or branch box with the air conditioner piping
and cables available from your local distributor. This installation manual describes the
correct connections using the installation set available from your local distributor.
Do not turn on the power until all installation work is complete.
tional (R22) gauge. To prevent erroneous mixing of other
refrigerants, the diameter of each port has been changed.
It is recommended the gauge with seals -0.1 to 5.3 MPa
(30 inHg to 768 psi) for high pressure.
-0.1 to 3.8 MPa (30 inHg to 551 psi) for low pressure.
To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base
size were changed.
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a
vacuum pump adapter.
