Q Do 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 fi re or an electric shock due to defective contact, defective
insulation, exceeding the permissible current, etc.
Q Check that the refrigerant gas do not leak after installation has
completed.
If refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact with the fi re of a fan
heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful substances will be generated.
Q Perform the installation securely referring to the installation manual.
Incomplete installation could cause a personal injury due to fi re, electric shock,
the unit falling or leakage of water.

4-5 AUTO RESTART FUNCTION
These models are equipped with an auto restart function. If you do not want to use
•
this function, please consult the service representative because the setting of the unit
needs to be changed.
When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, the
•
set temperature, and the fan speed are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C.
board. The auto restart function sets to work the moment the power has restored after
power failure, then, the unit will restart automatically. If the unit is operated in “I FEEL...”
or “AUTO” mode before power failure, the operation mode (COOL, DRY or HEAT) is not
stored in the memory. When the main power is turned on, the unit decides the operation
mode by the initial room temperature at restart and starts operation again.
Insert the piping and the drain hose into the wall hole sleeve C, and hook the upper
•
part of the indoor unit on the installation plate 1.
Check if the indoor unit is hooked securely on the installation plate 1 by moving the
•

the end of felt tape 7.
Operation
1 If the main power (230V AC) has been cut, the operation settings remain.
2 When three minutes have passed after power was restored, the unit will restart
automatically according to the memory.
Notes:
• The operation settings are memorized when 10 seconds have passed after the remote
controller was operated.
• If the main power is turned off or a power failure occurs while AUTO START/STOP timer
is active, the timer setting is cancelled. As these models are equipped with an auto
restart function, the air conditioner starts operating with timer cancelled at the same
time that power is restored.
• If the unit has been off with the remote controller before power failure, the auto restart
function does not work as the power button of the remote controller is off.
• To prevent breaker off due to the rush of starting current, systematize other home
appliances not to turn on at the same time.

FINISHING AND TEST RUN
INSTALLATION INFORMATION FOR THE AIR
CONDITIONER WITH R410A REFRIGERANT
This room air conditioner adopts an HFC refrigerant (R410A) which will never destroy
•
the ozone layer.
Pay particular attention to the following points, though the basic installation
•
procedure is same as that for R22 air conditioners.
1 As R410A has a working pressure approx. 1.6 times as high as that of R22, some
special tools and piping parts / materials are required. (Refer to the table below.)
2 Take suffi cient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the
R410A refrigerant during storage and installation, since it is more susceptible to
contaminations than R22.
3 For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts / materials specifi cally
designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant piping.)
4 Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When
charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent composition change.
6-1 Tools dedicated for the air conditioner with R410A
refrigerant
The following tools are required for R410A refrigerant. Some R22 tools can be
substituted for R410A tools.
The diameter of the service port on the stop valve in outdoor unit has been changed to
prevent any other refrigerant being charged into the unit. (Cap size has been changed
from 7/16 UNF with 20 threads to 1/2 UNF with 20 threads.)

Description
R410A has high pressures beyond the
measurement range of existing gauges.
Port diameters have been changed to prevent
any other refrigerant from being charged into
the unit.
Hose material and cap size have been changed
to improve the pressure resistance.
Clamp bar hole has been enlarged to reinforce
the spring strength in the tool.
Provided for fl aring work (to be used with R22
fl are tool).
Provided to prevent the back fl ow of oil. This
adapter enables you to use existing vacuum
pumps.
It is diffi cult to measure R410A with a charging
cylinder because the refrigerant bubbles due to
high pressure and high-speed vaporization.
6-2 FLARING WORK
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in fl aring work.
•
Carry out correct fl aring work in the following procedure.
1
Pipe cutting
• Cut the copper pipe correctly with pipe cutter.
Good
Copper pipe
2
Burrs removal
• Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe.
• Put the end of the copper pipe to downward direction as you remove burrs in order to
avoid to let burrs drop in the piping.

3
Putting nut on
• Remove fl are nuts attached to indoor and outdoor
units, then put them on pipe having completed

•
applied for indoor unit.
INSULATION AND TAPING
1 Cover piping joints with pipe cover.
2 For outdoor unit side, surely insulate every piping including valves.
3 Using piping tape G, apply taping starting from the entry of outdoor unit.
Stop the end of piping tape G with tape (with adhesive agent attached).
•
When piping have to be arranged through above ceiling, closet or where the temperature
•
and humidity are high, wind additional commercially sold insulation for prevention of
condensation.
6-4 PURGING PROCEDURES·LEAK TEST
PURGING PROCEDURES
Connect the refrigerant pipes (both liquid pipe and the gas pipe) between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.
Remove the service port cap of the stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas
pipe. (The stop valve will not work in it initial state fresh out of the factory (totally
closed with cap on).)
Connect the gauge manifold valve and the vacuum pump to the service port of the
stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)
Check the vacuum with the gauge manifold valve, then close the gauge manifold
valve, and stop the vacuum pump.
Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure the pointer gauge manifold valve
remains in the same position. Confi rm that the pressure gauge shows–0.101 Mpa
[Gauge] (–760 mmHg).

Precautions when using the control valve
Control Valve
Remove the gauge manifold valve quickly from the service port of the stop valve.
After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on
both sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe.
Operating without fully opening lowers the performance and this causes trouble.

When attaching the control valve to the service port,
valve core may deform or loosen if excess pressure
is applied. This may cause gas leak.
When attaching the control valve to the service port,
make sure that the valve core is in closed position, and
then tighten part A. Do not tighten part A or turn the body
when valve core is in open position.
Retighten the cap.
