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.
Operation
1 If the main power 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.
4-6 PIPE FORMING
•
Place the drain hose below the refrigerant piping.
•
Make sure that the drain hose is not heaved or snaked.
•
Do not pull the hose to apply the tape.
•
When the drain hose passes the room, be sure to wrap insulation material (obtainable at a store) around it.
•

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 sufficient 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 specifically
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.)
R410A tools Can R22 tools be used? Description
R410A has high pressures beyond the measurement range of existing gauges.
Gauge manifold No Port diameters have been changed to prevent
any other refrigerant from being charged into the
unit.
Charge hose No
Hose material and cap size have been changed
to improve the pressure resistance.
Gas leak detector No Dedicated for HFC refrigerant.

6-3 PIPE CONNECTION
Note:
Fasten a flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in the table below.
When fastened too tight, a flare nut may broken after a long period and cause a leakage
of refrigerant.
1 Indoor unit connection
Connect both liquid and gas pipings to indoor unit.
•
Apply a thin coat of refrigeration oil J on the seat surface of pipe.
•
For connection first align the center, then tighten the first 3 to 4 turns of flare nut.
•
Use tightening torque table below as a guideline for indoor unit side union joint
section, and tighten using two wrenches. Excessive tightening damages the flare
section.

12.7 49.0 to 56.4 500 to 575
15.88 73.5 to 78.4 750 to 800
2 Outdoor unit connection
Connect pipes to stop valve pipe joint of the outdoor unit in the same manner applied
for indoor unit.
•
For tightening, use a torque wrench or spanner and use the same tightening torque
applied for indoor unit.
WARNING
When installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant pipes before starting
the compressor.
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. Confirm that the pressure gauge shows–0.101 Mpa
[Gauge] (–760 mmHg).

6-4 PURGING PROCEDURES·LEAK TEST
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.
Pipe length up to 7 m
No gas charge is needed.
Pipe length exceeding 7 m
Charge the prescribed amount
of gas. (refer to 3)
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.
Tighten the cap to the service port to obtain the initial status.
Retighten the cap.

7-3 GAS CHARGE
1 Connect gas cylinder to the service port of stop valve (3-way).
2 Execute air purge of the pipe (or hose) coming from refrigerant gas cylinder.
3 Replenish specified amount of the refrigerant, while operating the air conditioner
for cooling.
Note:
In case of adding refrigerant, comply with the quantity specified for the refrigerating
cycle.
CAUTION
•
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation,
reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant circuit.
•
For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the
gas cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may
occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and the outdoor unit. In this case,
ability of the refrigerating cycle decreases or normal operation can be
impossible. However, charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may cause the
compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.
To maintain the high pressure of the gas cylinder, warm the gas cylinder with warm
water (under 40°C) during cold season. But never use naked fire or steam.
