4-6 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 “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.

6. INDOOR/OUTDOOR UNIT CONNECTION 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.
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.)

Putting nut on
Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor units, then put them on pipe having completed burr removal. (not possible to put them on after flaring work)
Flare nut for R410A pipe differs from R22 pipe. Refer to the following table for detail.
6-2 FLARING WORK
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
1
Pipe cutting
Cut the copper pipe correctly with pipe cutter.
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.

Clamp bar hole has been enlarged to reinforce the spring strength in the tool. Provided for flaring work (to be used with R22 flare tool). Provided to prevent the back flow of oil. This adapter enables you to use existing vacuum pumps.
It is difficult to measure R410A with a charging cylinder because the refrigerant bubbles due to high pressure and high-speed vaporization.
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.
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
, apply taping starting from the entry of outdoor unit.
Stop the end of piping tape 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.
Page 7
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).
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.

Checking the remote (infrared) signal reception
Press the ON/OFF button on the remote controller and check that an electronic sound is heard from the indoor unit. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the air conditioner off.
If the indoor unit is operated with the remote controller, both the test run and the emergency operation are released by commands from the remote controller.
Once the compressor stops, the restart preventive device operates so the compressor will not operate for three minutes to protect the air conditioner.
Note:
This is the indication of the EMERGENCY OPERATION mode. AREA setting is not available during the EMERGENCY OPERATION.
In starting the heating operation, indoor unit fan may not operate to prevent blowing cool air. Please wait for a few minutes until the temperature of heat exchanger rises and warm air blows out.
6-6 CHECKING AFTER INSTALLATION
After finishing the installation, check the following items and mark the next to each item.Is the specified power supply voltage used?Is the power line equipped with the circuit breaker?Have the ends of the indoor/outdoor connecting wire been properly inserted into the
terminal blocks?
Has the indoor/outdoor connecting wire been secured firmly?Are the power supply cord and indoor/outdoor connecting wire connected directly to
the units (no intermediate connections)?
Is the earth wire longer than the other wires so that it will not become disconnected
when tension is applied?
Is the earth wire connected properly?Are the pipes designed for use with R410A or do they have the specified thickness?Has the leak test been carried out for the pipe connections?Has air purging been carried out?Are the stop valves open fully?Is the drain hose properly installed?Has water been poured through the drain hose to confirm proper drainage?Are the pipes at the rear of the unit bundled with felt tape (for left and left-rear piping
only)?
Can the installation location bear the weight of the unit and not amplify its vibration or
noise?
Is the area under the unit free of objects that block the air outlet?Are the vertical and horizontal vanes closed securely?Is the front panel installed securely?Has the test run been carried out?Has the drain work been performed properly and are there no bubbling sounds?Have all of the
WARNING and CAUTION items in “1. THE FOLLOWING
SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED FOR SAFETY” been checked?
6-7 EXPLANATION TO THE CUSTOMER
Using the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, explain the following to the customer, how to control temperature, how to remove the air filters, how to remove or put the remote controller in the remote controller holder, how to clean, precautions for operation, etc.
