Caution: Describes precautions that must be observed to prevent damage to the unit.

Warning:

• The unit must not be installed by the user. Ask a dealer or an authorized

technician to install the unit. If the unit is installed incorrectly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.

• For installation work, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and use

tools and pipe components specifically made for use with R410A refrigerant. The R410A refrigerant in the HFC system is pressurized 1.6 times the pressure of usual refrigerants. If pipe components not designed for R410A refrigerant are used and the unit is not installed correctly, the pipes may burst and cause damage or injuries. In addition, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.

• The unit must be installed according to the instructions in order to minimize

the risk of damage from earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An incorrectly installed unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.

• The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its weight.

If the unit is mounted on an unstable structure, it may fall down and cause damage or injuries.

• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to

prevent the refrigerant concentration in the room from exceeding the safety limit in the event of refrigerant leakage. Consult a dealer regarding the appropriate measures to prevent the allowable concentration from being exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the concentration limit to be exceeded, hazards due to lack of oxygen in the room may result.

• Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during operation. If refrigerant comes

into contact with a flame, poisonous gases will be released.

• All electric work must be performed by a qualified technician according to

local regulations and the instructions given in this manual. The units must be powered by dedicated power lines and the correct voltage and circuit breakers must be used. Power lines with insufficient capacity or incorrect electrical work may result in electric shock or fire.

Both the Installation Manual and Operation Manual must be given to the user for keeping. These manuals must be passed on to subsequent users.

: Indicates a part which must be grounded.

Warning:

Carefully read the labels affixed to the main unit.

• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. If the pipes are not connected correctly, the unit will not be properly grounded and electric shock may result.

• Use only specified cables for wiring. The connections must be made securely without tension on the terminals. If the cables are connected or installed incorrectly, overheating or fire may result.

• The terminal block cover panel of the outdoor unit must be firmly attached. If the cover panel is mounted incorrectly and dust and moisture enter the unit, electric shock or fire may result.

• When installing or moving the air conditioner, use only the specified refrigerant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines. Air enclosed in the lines can cause pressure peaks resulting in a rupture and other hazards.

• Use only accessories authorized by Mitsubishi Electric and ask a dealer or an authorized technician to install them. If accessories are incorrectly installed, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.

• Do not alter the unit. Consult a dealer for repairs. If alterations or repairs are not performed correctly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.

• The user should never attempt to repair the unit or transfer it to another location. If the unit is installed incorrectly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result. If the air conditioner must be repaired or moved, ask a dealer or an authorized technician.

• After installation has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks. If refrigerant leaks into the room and comes into contact with the flame of a heater or portable cooking range, poisonous gases will be released.

1.1. Before installation

Caution:

• Do not use the unit in an unusual environment. If the air conditioner is installed in areas exposed to steam, volatile oil (including machine oil), or sulfuric gas, areas exposed to high salt content such as the seaside, or areas where the unit will be covered by snow, the performance can be significantly reduced and the internal parts can be damaged.

• Do not install the unit where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow, or accumulate. If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, fire or explosion may result.

• The outdoor unit produces condensation during the heating operation. Make sure to provide drainage around the outdoor unit if such condensation is likely to cause damage.

1.2. Before installation (relocation)

Caution:

• Be extremely careful when transporting the units. Please read and fully understand “3. Transporting the unit” before transporting the unit. Wear protective gloves to remove the unit from the packaging and to move it, as you can injure your hands on the fins or other parts.

• Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging materials. Packaging materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause stabs or other injuries.

• When installing the unit in a hospital or communications office, be prepared for noise and electronic interference. Inverters, home appliances, high-frequency medical equipment, and radio communications equipment can cause the air conditioner to malfunction or breakdown. The air conditioner may also affect medical equipment, disturbing medical care, and communications equipment, harming the screen display quality.

• The base and attachments of the outdoor unit must be periodically checked for looseness, cracks or other damage. If such defects are left uncorrected, the unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.

• Do not clean the air conditioner unit with water. Electric shock may result.

• Tighten all flare nuts to specification using a torque wrench. If tightened too much, the flare nut can break after an extended period and refrigerant can leak out.

1.3. Before electric work

Caution:

• Be sure to install circuit breakers. If not installed, electric shock may result.

• For the power lines, use standard cables of sufficient capacity. Otherwise, a

short circuit, overheating, or fire may result.

• When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables. If the connections are loosened, the cables can snap or break and overheating or fire may result.

1.4. Before starting the test run

Caution:

• Before starting operation, check that all panels, guards and other protective parts are correctly installed. Rotating, hot, or high voltage parts can cause injuries.

• Do not touch any switch with wet hands. Electric shock may result.

• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes with bare hands during operation. The

refrigerant pipes are hot or cold depending on the condition of the flowing refrigerant. If you touch the pipes, burns or frostbite may result.

1.5. Using R410A refrigerant air conditioners

Caution:

• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Make sure the insides of the pipes are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust. Use pipes with the specified thickness. (Refer to page 7) Note the following if reusing existing pipes that carried R22 refrigerant.

• Do not use OL material for the ø22.2 pipes.

- Replace the existing flare nuts and flare the flared sections again.

- Do not use thin pipes. (Refer to page 7)

• Store the pipes to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of the pipes sealed until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.) If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, oil deterioration or compressor breakdown may result.

• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration oil applied to the flared sections. If mineral oil is mixed in the refrigeration oil, oil deterioration may result.

• Be sure to ground the unit. Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes, lighting rods, or telephone grounding lines. If the unit is not properly grounded, electric shock may result.

• Use circuit breakers (ground fault interrupter, isolating switch (+B fuse), and molded case circuit breaker) with the specified capacity. If the circuit breaker capacity is larger than the specified capacity, breakdown or fire may result.

• After stopping operation, be sure to wait at least five minutes before turning off the main power switch. Otherwise, water leakage or breakdown may result.

• Do not use refrigerant other than R410A refrigerant. If another refrigerant is used, the chlorine will cause the oil to deteriorate.

• Use the following tools specifically designed for use with R410A refrigerant. The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant. Contact your nearest dealer for any questions.

Tools (for R410A)

Gauge manifold Flare tool

Charge hose Size adjustment gauge

Gas leak detector Vacuum pump adapter

Torque wrench Electronic refrigerant charging scale Safety charger

• Be sure to use the correct tools. If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, refrigeration oil deterioration may result.

• Do not use a charging cylinder. If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of the refrigerant will change and the efficiency will be lowered.

2.2. Choosing the outdoor unit installation location

• Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat.

• Select a location from which noise emitted by the unit will not inconvenience

neighbors.

• Avoid locations where the unit will be exposed to strong winds.

• Select a location permitting easy wiring and pipe access to the power source and

indoor unit.

• Avoid locations where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow, or accumulate.

• Note that water may drain from the unit during operation.

• Select a level location that can bear the weight and vibration of the unit.

• Avoid locations where the unit can be covered by snow. In areas where heavy snow

fall is anticipated, special precautions such as raising the installation location or installing a hood on the air intake and air outlet must be taken to prevent the snow from blocking the air intake or blowing directly against it. This can reduce the airflow and a malfunction may result.

• Avoid locations exposed to oil, steam, or sulfuric gas.

2.4. Ventilation and service space

2.4.1. When installing a single outdoor unit.

When installing a part that is sold separately, make sure to provide the required space for that part as indicated in its manual. (1) Basic information for determining required space (Fig. 2-3)

The required space for the back of the unit is determined by the air intake port; 100 mm or more is required. However, providing the same amount of space as at the front of the unit, approximately 450 mm, will make servicing the unit easier.

(2) Overhead obstacles (Fig. 2-4)

1 If there is little space between the unit and the obstruction (Fig. 2-5)

2 Provide outlet blower guide. (Procure locally.)

(3) If the intake air enters from the right and left sides (Fig. 2-6)

• The front and rear wall height, expressed as “H,” shall be the same height or lower than the overall height of the unit.

• If this height exceeds that of the overall height of the unit, add the dimension shown as “h” in the drawing on the left to L1 and L2 on Table 1.

Use care in the following areas when handling the units.

When using a forklift or similar equipment to load or unload the units, always insert the forks of the forklift into the square-shaped openings provided (as shown in the illustration on the left) and transport. It is dangerous to insert the forks from the side as the unit has a center of gravity that is not at the center of the unit. It may tilt away from its center of gravity and become unstable.

3.1. Transporting by forklift (Fig. 3-1)

• When transpor ting the unit by forklift, always insert the forks into the square-shaped

openings at the base of the unit.

Note:

1. Always use care when transporting a unit by forklift on rainy days as slip-

page can occur.

2. Never use dangerous sudden movements, such as accelerating or applying

the brakes suddenly or turning the steering wheel quickly, when transporting the unit by forklift.

3.2. Transporting by pallet truck (Fig. 3-2)

• When using a pallet truck to transport the unit, insert the forks from the side of the

unit.

Note: The center of gravity of the unit is not at the dimensional center of the unit. Therefore, make sure that the forks of the pallet truck pass completely under the unit and extend out the opposite side before lifting the unit for transport.
