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 flare 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.
2.2. Special tools for R410A
Tool name Contents of change
Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a conven-
Gauge manifold
Charge hose
Vacuum pump
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 table below. Never use
copper pipes thinner than 0.8mm even when it is available on the market.
Thicknesses of Annealed Copper Pipes
Pipe outside diameter Thickness
6.35 mm (1/4 in.) 0.80 mm
9.52 mm (3/8 in.) 0.80 mm
12.70 mm (1/2 in.) 0.80 mm
15.88 mm (5/8 in.) 1.00 mm
19.05 mm (3/4 in.) 1.20 mm
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.
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
(-1 to 53 bar) for high pressure.
-0.1 to 3.8 MPa (-1 to 38 bar) 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.

2.3. Power
2.6. Limitation of refrigerant piping length
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.
Do not extend the power cable.
Perform wiring work in accordance with standards so that the air conditioner can be
operated safely and positively.
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.

PUMP DOWN OPERATION (FORCED COOLING OPERATION)
To avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere at the time of relocation or disposal,
recover refrigerant by doing the cooling operation or forced cooling operation according
to the following procedure. (When the cooling operation cannot start in winter, and so on,
start the forced cooling operation.).
(1) Do the air purging of the charge hose by connecting the charging hose of gauge mani-
fold to the charging port of 3 way valve and opening the low-pressure valve slightly.
(2) Close the valve stem of 2 way valve completely.
(3) Start the cooling operation or following forced cooling operation. Keep on pressing the
MANUAL AUTO button of the indoor unit for more than 10 seconds. The operation in-
dicator lamp and timer indicator lamp will begin to flash simultaneously during test run.
(The forced cooling operation cannot start if the MANUAL AUTO button is not kept on
pressing for more than 10 seconds.)
(4) Close the valve stem of 3 way valve when the reading on the compound pressure
gage becomes 0.05~0 Mpa (0.5~0 kg/cm
(5) Stop the operation.
• Press the START/STOP button of the remote control unit to stop the operation.
• Press the MANUAL AUTO button when stopping the operation from indoor unit side. (It
is not necessary to press on keeping for more than 10 seconds.)

CAUTION
During the pump-down operation, make sure that the compressor is turned off before
you remove the refrigerant piping.
Do not remove the connection pipe while the compressor is in operation with 2 way or
3 way valve open. This may cause abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle that
leads to breakage and even injury.
