can result in personal injury and the potential for product
or property damage.
Electrical
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire 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 fins on the air conditioner
can cut your fingers.
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 floors.
...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 baffle.
Safety / alert
If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a special problem, contact our
sales/service outlet or your certified dealer for additional instructions.
In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation
or maintenance service, including failure to follow the instructions in this
document.
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 grounding can cause accidental injury
or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting
snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and
union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque
wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
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 specified 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 fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, 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.

This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).
5 cm or over
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
(1) Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant(R22) mod-
els, 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 flare nuts.
(2) 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 threads per inch.]
(3) 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.
(4) 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 side whose composition is stable.
Special tools for 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/10m. 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 0.8mm even
when it is available on the market.
(1) Do not use the existing (for R22) piping and flare nuts.
• If the existing materials are used, the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle will rise and cause breakage, injury,
etc.(Use the special R410A materials.)
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) When installing and relocating the air conditioner, do not mix gases other than the specified 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 breakage, injury, etc.
When installing pipes shorter than 3m, sound of the outdoor unit will be transferred to the indoor unit, which will
cause large operating sound or some abnormal sound.

1. CUTTING THE HOLE IN THE WALL FOR THE CONNECTING PIPING
(1) Cut a 3-2/16’’(80 mm) diameter hole in the wall at the position shown
in (Fig.1).
(2) When cutting the wall hole at the inside of the wall hook bracket,
cut the hole within the range of the left and right center marks
3/8’’(10 mm) below the installation frame.
When cutting the wall hole at the outside of the wall hook bracket,
cut the hole at least 3/8’’(10 mm) below less.
(3) Cut the hole so that the outside end is lower 3/16’’ to 3/8’’ (5 to 10 mm)
than the inside end.
(4) Always align the center of the wall hole. If misaligned, water leak-
age will occur.
(5) Cut the wall pipe to match the wall thickness, stick it into the wall
cap, fasten the cap with vinyl tape, and stick the pipe through the
hole. (The connection pipe is supplied in the installation set.)
(Fig.1)
(6) For left piping and right piping, cut the hole a little lower so that
drain water will flow freely. (Fig.1)

2. INSTALLING THE WALL HOOK BRACKET
(1) Install the wall hook bracket so that it is correctly positioned hori-
zontally and vertically. If the wall hook bracket is titled, water will
drip to the floor.
(2) Install the wall hook bracket so that it is strong enough to with-
stand the weight of an adult.
● Fasten the wall hook bracket to the wall with 6 or more screws
through the holes near the outer edge of the bracket.
● Check that there is no rattle at the wall hook bracket.
WARNING
If the wall pipe is not used, the cord interconnecting
the indoor and outdoor units may touch metal and
cause electric leakage.
3. FORMING THE DRAIN HOSE AND PIPE
[Rear piping, Right piping, Bottom piping]
● Install the indoor unit piping in the direction of the wall hole and
bind the drain hose and pipe together with vinyl tape. (Fig. 3)
● Install the piping so that the drain hose is at the bottom.
● Wrap the pipes of the indoor unit that are visible from the outside
with decorative tape.
[For Left rear piping, Left piping]
Interchange the drain cap and the drain hose.
CAUTION
(1) In order to align the drain hose and drain cap, be
sure to insert securely and vertically. Incline insertion will cause water leakage.
When inserting, be sure not to attach any mate-
(2)
rial besides water. If any other material is attached,
it will cause deterioration and water leakage.
(3) After removing drain hose, be sure not to forget
mounting drain cap.
Be sure to fix the drain hose with tape to the bot-
(4)
tom of piping.
Prevent drain water frozen under low tempera-
(5)
ture environment.
When installing indoor unit's drain hose outdoors,
necessary measure for frost protection should be
taken to prevent drain water frozen.
●
Under low temperature environment (when out-
door temperature under 32 °F), after cooling operation is executed, water in the drain hose could
be frozen.
Once drain water is frozen, the drain hose will
be blocked and water leakage may be resulted
for indoor unit.

CONNECTION
(1) Install the outdoor unit wall cap (supplied with the optional in-
stallation set or procured at the site) to the wall pipe.
(2) Connect the outdoor unit and indoor unit piping.
(3) After matching the center of the flare surface and tightening the
nut hand tight, tighten the nut to the specified tightening torque
with a torque wrench. (Tighten the flare nut of the outdoor unit
3-way valve after air purging.)
FLARING
(1) Cut the connection pipe to the necessary length with a pipe cutter.
(2) Hold the pipe downward so that cuttings will not enter the pipe
and remove the burrs.
(3) Insert the flare nut onto the pipe and flare the pipe with a flaring
tool.
Check if [L] is flared uniformly
and is not cracked or scratched.

BENDING PIPES
The pipes are shaped by your hands. Be careful not to collapse them.
OK NO
Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90°.
When pipes are repeatedly bent or stretched, the material will harden,
making it difficult to bend or stretch them any more. Do not bend or stretch
the pipes more than three times.
Extend the pipe
by unwinding it.
CAUTION
(1) Fasten a flare nut with a torque wrench as instructed in this manual. If
fastened too tight, the flare nut may be broken after a long period of time
and cause a leakage of refrigerant.
(2) During installation, make sure that the refrigerant pipe is attached firmly
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 breakage and even injury.

HOW TO CONNECT WIRING TO THE TERMINALS
A. For solid core wiring (or F-cable)
(1) Cut the wire end with a wire cutter or wire-cutting pliers, then strip
the insulation to about 15/16" (25 mm) to expose the solid wire.
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on the terminal
board.
(3) Using pliers, bend the solid wire to form a loop suitable for the termi-
nal screw.
(4) Shape the loop wire properly, place it on the terminal board and
tighten securely with the terminal screw using a screwdriver.
B. For strand wiring
(1) Cut the wire end with a wire cutter or wire-cutting pliers, then strip
the insulation to about 3/8" (10 mm) to expose the strand wiring.
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on the terminal
board.
(3) Using a round terminal fastener or pliers, securely clamp a round
terminal to each stripped wire end.
(4) Position the round terminal wire, and replace and tighten the termi-
nal screw using a screwdriver.

FINISHING
(1) Insulate between pipes.
● For rear, right, and bottom piping, overlap the connection pipe
heat insulation and indoor unit pipe heat insulation and bind
them with vinyl tape so that there is no gap.
● For left and left rear piping, butt the connection pipe heat insula-
tion and indoor unit pipe heat insulation together and bind them
with and vinyl tape so that there is no gap.
● For left and left rear piping, wrap the area which accommodates
the rear piping housing section with cloth tape.
● For left and left rear piping, bind the connection cord to the top
of the pipe with vinyl tape.
● For left and left rear piping, bundle the piping and drain hose
together by wrapping them with cloth tape over the range within
which they fit into the rear piping housing section.
(2) Temporarily fasten the connection cord along the connection pipe
with vinyl tape. (Wrap to about 1/3 the width of the tape from the
bottom of the pipe so that water does not enter.)
(3) Fasten the connection pipe to the outside wall with a saddle, etc.
(4) Fill the gap between the outside wall pipe hole and the pipe with
sealer so that rain water and wind cannot blow in.
(5) Fasten the drain hose to the outside wall, etc.
