Safety Precautions
Safely dispose of the packing materials.
•
Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden
parts, may cause stabs or other injuries.
•
Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that
children may not play with them. If children play with a plastic
bag which was not torn apart, they face the risk of suffocation.
Turn on the power at least 6 hours before
starting operation.
• Starting operation immediately after turning on the main
power switch can result in severe
damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch turned on
during the operational season.
Be very careful about product transportation.
• Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs more than 20 kg.
• Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use any PP bands for a means of transportation. It is dangerous.
• Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. Doing so may cut your fingers.
• When transporting the outside unit, suspending it at the specified positions on the unit base. Also support the outside unit
at four points so that it cannot slip sideways.
Do not touch any of the refrigerant piping
during and after operation.
• It can cause a burn or frostbite.
Do not operate the air conditioner with the
panels or guards removed.
• Rotating, hot, or high-voltage parts can cause injuries.
Do not directly turn off the main power
switch after stopping operation.
• Wait at least 5 minutes before turning off the main power
switch. Otherwise it may result in water leakage or other
problems.
Auto-addressing should be done in condition of
connecting the power of all indoor and outdoour

Select the Best Location
Select space for installing outside unit, which will meet the following conditions:
• No direct thermal radiation from other heat sources
• No possibility of annoying neighbors by noise from unit
• No exposition to strong wind
• With strength which bears weight of unit
• Note that drain flows out of unit when heating
• With space for air passage and service work shown next
• Because of the possibility of fire, do not install unit to the space where generation, inflow, stagnation, and
leakage of combustible gas is expected.
• Avoid unit installation in a place where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used.
• Do not use unit under any special environment where oil, steam and sulfuric gas exist.
• It is recommended to fence round the outside unit in order to prevent any person or animal from accessing the
outside unit.
• This product is prohibited for outdoor installation.
• Select installation location considering following conditions to avoid bad condition when additionally performing
defrost operation.
1. Install the outside unit at a place well ventilated and having a lot of sunshine in case of installing the product
at a place with a high humidity in winter (neare beach, coast, lake, etc).
(Ex) Rooftop where sunshine always shines.
2. Performance of heating will be reduced and preheat time of the indoor unit may be lengthened in case of
installing the outside unit in winter at following location:
(1) Shade position with a narrow space
(2) Location with much moisture in neighboring floor.
(3) Location with much humidity around.
(4) Location where water gathers since the floor is not even.
• The refrigerant R410A has the property of higher operating pressure in comparison with R22.
Therefore, all materials have the characteristics of higher resisting pressure than R22 ones and this characteristic should be also considered during the installation.
R410A is an azeotrope of R32 and R125 mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of R410A is
0. These days the developed countries have approved it as the environment-friendly refrigerant and encouraged to use it widely to prevent environment pollution.
Environment-friendly Alternative Refrigerant R410A
CAUTION:
• The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regulations for the designed
pressure 3.8MPa
• Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state.
If the refrigerant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system will not work properly.
• Do not place the refrigerant container under the direct rays of the sun to prevent it from exploding.
• For high-pressure refrigerant, any unapproved pipe must not be used.
• Do not heat pipes more than necessary to prevent them from softening.
• Be careful not to install wrongly to minimize economic loss because it is expensive in comparison with R22.

Water control
Water control
• Keep the water temperature between 10~45°C. Other it may cause the breakdown.
- Standard water supply temperature is 30°C for Cooling and 20°C for heating.
• Properly control the water velocity. Otherwise it may cause the noise, pipe vibration or pipe contraction, expansion
according to the temperature. Use the same water pipe size connected with the product or more.
• Refer to the water source pipe diameter and water velocity table below. As the water velocity is fast, air bubble will
increase.
• Be careful of the water purity control. Otherwise it may cause the breakdown due to water pipe corrosion.
(Refer to 'Standard Table for Water Purity Control')
• In case the water temperature is above 40°C, it is good to prevent the corrosion by adding the anticorrosive agent.
• Install the pipe, valve and gauge sensor in the space where it is easy to maintain. Install the water valve in the low
position for drain, if required.
• Be careful not to let air in. If so, the water velocity will be unstable in the circulation, pump efficiency will also
decrease and may cause the piping vibration. Therefore, install the air purge where it may generate the air.
• Choose the following anti freezing methods. Otherwise, it will be dangerous for the pipe to break in the winter.
- Circulate the water with the pump before dropping the temperature.
- Keep the normal temperature by boiler.
- When the cooling tower is not operated for a long time, drain the water in the cooling tower.
- Use an anti-freeze.
- Refer to the additive amount about freezing temperature as in the table given below.
• In addition to anti freeze, it may cause the change of the pressure in the water system and the low performance of
the product.
• Make sure to use the closed cooling type tower.
When applying the open type cooling tower, use a 2
nd
heat exchanger to make the water supply system a closed
type system.

Standard table for water purity control
The water may contain many foreign substances and hence may influence the performance and lifetime of the product due to the corrosion of the condenser and water pipe. (Use water source that complies with the below standard
table for water purity control.)
If you use water supply other than the tap water to supply the water for the cooling tower, you must do a water quality
inspection.
• If you use the closed cooling tower, the water quality must be controlled in accordance with the following standard
table.
If you do not control the water quality in accordance with the following standard water quality table, it can cause performance deterioration to the air conditioner and severe problem to the product
[Reference]
(1) The "O" mark for corrosion and scale means that there is possibility of occurrence.
(2) When the water temperature is 40°C or above or when uncoated iron is exposed to the water, it can result in corro-
sion. Therefore adding anti-corrosion agent or removing the air can be very effective.
(3) In case of using the closed type cooling tower, the cooling water and supplementing water must satisfy the water quality criteria of closed type system in the table.
(4) Supplementing water and supplied water must be supplied with tap water, industrial water and underground water
excluding filtered water, neutral water, soft water etc.
(5) 15 items in the table are general causes of corrosion and scale.

Installation
1. Remove the cap and turn the valve counter clockwise with the hexagon wrench.
2. Turn it until the shaft stops.
Do not apply excessive force to the shutoff valve. Doing so may break the valve body, as the valve is not a
backseat type. Always use the special tool.
3. Make sure to tighten the cap securely.
1. Remove the cap and turn the valve clockwise with the hexagon wrench.
2. Securely tighten the valve until the shaft contacts the main body seal.
3. Make sure to tighten the cap securely.
* For the tightening torque, refer to the table on the below.
Precautions when connecting pipes
• See the following table for flare part machining dimensions.
• When connecting the flare nuts, apply refrigerant oil to the inside and outside of the flares and turn them three
or four times at first. (Use ester oil or ether oil.)
• See the following table for tightening torque.(Applying too much torque may cause the flares to crack.)
• After all the piping has been connected, use nitrogen to perform a gas leak check.

CAUTION
• Always use a charge hose for service port connection.
• After tightening the cap, check that no refrigerant leaks are
present.
• When loosening a flare nut, always use two wrenches in
combination, When connecting the piping, always use a spanner
and torque wrench in combination to tighten the flare nut.
• When connecting a flare nut, coat the flare(inner and outer faces)
with oil for R410A(PVE) and hand tighten the nut 3 to 4 turns as
the initial tightening.

Installation
1. Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resistance (over
120°C).
2. Precautions in high humidity circumstance:
This air conditioner has been tested according to the
"ISO Conditions with Mist" and confirmed that there is
not any default. However, if it is operated for a long
time in high humid atmosphere (dew point temperature: more than 23°C), water drops are liable to fall. In
this case, add heat insulation material according to the
following procedure:
• Heat insulation material to be prepared... EPDM
(Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene)-over 120°C
the heat-resistance temperature.
• Add the insulation over 10mm thickness at high humidity environment.

WARNING
After completing work, securely tighten both service ports and caps so that gas does not leak.
Refrigerant piping installation
WARNING
Always use extreme care to prevent the refrigerant gas (R410A) from leakage while using fire or
flame. If the refrigerant gas comes in contact with the flame from any source, such as a gas stove, it
breaks down and generates a poisonous gas which can cause gas poisoning. Never perform brazing
in an unventilated room. Always conduct an inspection for gas leakage after installation of the refrigerant piping has been completed.
① Pipe joint (auxiliary parts): Securely perform brazing with
a nitrogen blow into the service valve port.(Releasing
pressure : 0.02 MPa or less)
② Flare nut: Loose or tighten flare nut by using the wrench
with both ends. Coat the flare connection part with oil for
the compressor.
③ Cap: Remove caps and operate valve, etc. After opera-
tion, always reattach caps (tightening torque of valve
cap: 25Nm (250kg-cm) or more). (Don't remove the
internal part of the port)
④ Service port: Make the refrigerant pipe vacuum and
charge it using the service port. Always reattach caps
after completing work (tightening torque of service cap:
14Nm (140kg-cm) or more).
⑤ Liquid pipe
⑥ Gas pipe
⑦ Elbow joint (field supply)
Cautions in pipe connection/valve operation
Open status when both the pipe and
the valve are in a straight line.
Cut both the pipe and the valve with a
cutter to suit the length
(Don't cut the length of less than 70mm)

1) For the high/low pressure common pipe, connect both master outside unit and slave outside units to the pipe by using
elbows.
2) For cutting the pipe, connect the high/low pressure common pipe after removing burrs, dusts and foreign material within
the pipe. Otherwise, the product may not operate due to sludge within the pipe.
3) For the working part leakage test, apply the nitrogen gas pressure of 3.8MPa (38.7kgf/cm
2
).
4) The vacuum criteria is to maintain the vacuum level to less than 5 Torr 1 hour after reaching 5 Torr. (Execute the vacuum
work again when it is below the criteria.)
5) Open the valve with the hexagon wrench.

Refrigerant piping installation
1) Water pipe system diagram
• The water pressure resistance of the water pipe system of this product is 1.98MPa
• When the water pipe passes indoors, make sure to execute heat insulation on the pipe so that water drops do not form on
the outer side of the water pipe.
• The size of the drain pipe must be equal to or larger than the diameter of the connecting product.
- Always install a trap so that the drained water does not back flush.
• Always install a strainer (50Mesh or above) at the entrance of the water pipe. (When sand, trash, rusted pieces get mixed
into the water supply, it can cause problems to the product due to blocking)
- If On/Off valve is applied, by interlocking with outside unit, it can save the energy consumption of pump by blocking the
water supply to the outside unit not operating. Select appropriate valve and install on site if necessary.
• Install a pressure gauge and temperature gauge at the inlet and outlet of the water pipe.
• Flexible joints must be installed not to cause any leakage from the vibration of pipes.
• Install a service port to clean the heat exchanger at the each end of the water inlet and outlet.
• For the components of the water pipe system, always use components above the designed water pressure.
2) Water pipe connection
• The water pipe should be the same size of the connection on the product or more.
• If necessary install the insulation material in the water pipe inlet/outlet to prevent water drop, freeze and to save energy.
(Use the above 20mm thickness PE insulation material.)
• Tightly connect the socket to the water pipe refer to below table for recommended specification.
(Too much torque may cause the damage of the facility.)
