1. BEFORE INSTALLATION

1-1. THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED FOR SAFETY

Be sure to read “THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED FOR SAFETY” before installing the air conditioner.

Be sure to observe the warnings and cautions specified here as they include important items related to safety.

After reading this manual, be sure to keep it together with the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for future reference.

nDo not install the unit by yourself (user).

Incomplete installation could cause fire, electric shock, injury due to the unit falling, or leakage of water. Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the unit or a qualified installer.

nPerform the installation securely referring to the installation manual.

Incomplete installation could cause fire, electric shock, injury due to the unit falling, or leakage of water.

nWhen installing the unit, use appropriate protective equipment and tools for safety.

Failure to do so could cause injury.

nInstall the unit securely in a place which can bear the weight of the unit.

If the installation location cannot bear the weight of the unit, the unit could fall causing injury.

nElectrical work should be performed by a qualified, experienced electrician, according to the installation manual. Be sure to use an exclusive circuit. Do not connect other electrical appliances to the circuit.

If the capacity of the power circuit is insufficient or there is incomplete electrical work, it could result in a fire or an electric shock.

nEarth the unit correctly.

Do not connect the earth to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone earth. Defective earthing could cause electric shock.

nDo not damage the wires by applying excessive pressure with parts or screws.

Damaged wires could cause fire or electric shock.

nBe sure to cut off the main power in case of setting up the indoor P.C. board or wiring works.

Failure to do so could cause electric shock.

nUse the specified wires to connect the indoor and outdoor units securely and attach the wires firmly to the terminal block connecting sections so the stress of the wires is not applied to the sections. Do not extend the wires, or use intermediate connection.

Incomplete connecting and securing could cause fire.

WARNING (Could lead to death, serious injury, etc.)

nDo not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak.

If gas leaks and accumulates in the area around the unit, it could cause an explosion.

nDo not use intermediate connection of the power cord or the extension cord and do not connect many devices to one AC outlet.

It could cause a fire or an electric shock due to defective contact, defective insulation, exceeding the permissible current, etc.

nBe sure to use the parts provided or specified parts for the installation work.

The use of defective parts could cause an injury or leakage of water due to a fire, an electric shock, the unit falling, etc.

nWhen plugging the power supply plug into the outlet, make sure that there is no dust, clogging, or loose parts in both the outlet and the plug. Make sure that the power supply plug is pushed completely into the outlet.

If there is dust, clogging, or loose parts on the power supply plug or the outlet, it could cause electric shock or fire. If loose parts are found on the power supply plug, replace it.

nAttach the electrical cover to the indoor unit and the service panel to the outdoor unit securely.

If the electrical cover of the indoor unit and/or the service panel of the outdoor unit are not attached securely, it could result in a fire or an electric shock due to dust, water, etc.

nWhen installing, relocating, or servicing the unit, make sure that no substance other than the specified refrigerant (R410A) enters the refrigerant circuit.

Any presence of foreign substance such as air can cause abnormal pressure rise and may result in explosion or injury. The use of any refrigerant other than that specified for the system will cause mechanical failure, system malfunction, or unit breakdown. In the worst case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.

nDo not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. If refrigerant leaks during installation, ventilate the room.

If refrigerant comes in contact with a fire, harmful gas could be generated.

nCheck that the refrigerant gas does not leak after installation has been completed.

If refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact with the flame of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful substances will be generated.

nUse appropriate tools and piping materials for installation.

The pressure of R410A is 1.6 times more than R22. Not using appropriate tools or materials and incomplete installation could cause the pipes to burst or injury.

nWhen pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes.

If the refrigerant pipes are disconnected while the compressor is running and the stop valve is open, air could be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle could become abnormally high. This could cause the pipes to burst or injury.

nWhen installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant pipes before starting the compressor.

If the compressor is started before the refrigerant pipes are connected and when the stop valve is open, air could be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle could become abnormally high. This could cause the pipes to burst or injury.

nFasten a flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in this manual.

If fastened too tight, a flare nut may break after a long period and cause refrigerant leakage.

nThe unit shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.

CAUTION

(Could lead to serious injury in particular environments when operated incorrectly.)

n Install an earth leakage breaker depending on

This could cause injury.

1-2. SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

INDOOR UNIT

Where airflow is not blocked.

Where air spreads over the entire room.

Rigid wall without vibration.

Where it is not exposed to direct sunshine. Do not expose to direct sunshine also during the period following unpacking to before use.

Where easily drained.

At a distance 1 m or more away from your TV and radio. Operation of the air conditioner may interfere with radio or TV reception. An amplifier may be required for the affected device.

In a place as far away as possible from fluorescent and incandescentlights.

In order to make the infrared remote control operate the airconditioner normally. The heat from the lights may cause deformation or the ultraviolet may cause deterioration.

• Where the air filter can be removed and replaced easily.

REMOTE CONTROLLER

Where it is easy to operate and easily visible.

Where children cannot touch it.

Select the position where the indoor unit can receive the signal from the remote controller properly. Check that signals from the remote controller are surely received by the indoor unit from that position (‘beep’ or ‘beep beep’ receiving tone sounds). After that, attach remote controller holder to a pillar or wall and install wireless remote controller.

Note:

In rooms where inverter type fluorescent lamps are used, the signal from the wireless remote controller may not be received.

OUTDOOR UNIT

When installing the unit at a high level, be sure to secure the unit legs.

Where it is at least 3 m away from the antenna of TV set or radio. Operation of the air conditioner may interfere with radio or TV reception in areas where reception is weak. An amplifier may be required for the affected device.

Install the unit horizontally.

Please install it in an area not affected by snowfall or blowing snow. In areas with heavy snow, please install a canopy, a pedestal and/or some baffle boards.

Note:

It is advisable to make a piping loop near outdoor unit so as to reduce vibration transmitted from there.

nDo not install the outdoor unit where small animals may live.

If small animals enter and touch the electric parts inside the unit, it could cause a malfunction, smoke emission, or fire. Also, advise user to keep the area around the unit clean.

Note:

When operating the air conditioner in low outside temperature, be sure to follow the instructions described below.

Never install the outdoor unit in a place where its air inlet/outlet side may be exposed directly to wind.

To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit with its air inlet side facing the wall.

To prevent exposure to wind, it is recommended to install a baffle board on the air outlet side of the outdoor unit.

Avoid the following places for installation where air conditioner trouble is liable to occur.

Where flammable gas could leak.

Where there is much machine oil.

Where oil is splashed or where the area is filled with oily smoke (such as cooking areas and factories, in which the properties of plastic could be changed and damaged).

Salty places such as the seaside.

Where sulfide gas is generated such as a hot spring.

Where there is high-frequency or wireless equipment.
