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.
WARNING |
(Could lead to death, serious injury, etc.) |
nDo not install the unit by yourself (user).
Incomplete installation could cause fire or 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 or 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.
nPerform electrical work according to the installation manual and 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.
nDo not damage the wires by applying excessive pressure with parts or screws.
Damaged wires could cause fire.
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.
Incomplete connecting and securing could cause fire.
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.
Ifrefrigerantcomesincontactwithafire,harmfulgascouldbegenerated.Refrigerant leakage may cause suffocation. Ventilate the room.
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.
nGround the unit correctly.
Do not connect the ground to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone ground. Defective grounding could cause electric shock.
nBe sure to install a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) circuit breaker.
Failure to install a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) circuit breaker may result in electric shock or fire.
CAUTION |
(Could lead to serious injury in particular environments when operated incorrectly.) |
nPerform the drainage/piping work securely according to the installation manual.
If there is defect in the drainage/piping work, water could drop from the unit, soaking and damaging household goods.
nDo not touch the air inlet or the aluminum fins of the outdoor unit.
This could cause injury.
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.

CAUTION
When there are the ports which are not used, make sure their nuts are tightened securely.
4. PURGING PROCEDURES, LEAK TEST, AND TEST RUN
4-1. PURGING PROCEDURES AND LEAK TEST
1)Remove service port cap of stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas pipe. (The stop valves are fully closed and covered in caps in their initial state.)
2)Connect gauge manifold valve and vacuum pump to service port of stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
3)Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)
4)Check the vacuum with gauge manifold valve, then close gauge manifold valve, and stop the vacuum pump.
5)Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure the pointer of gauge manifold valve remains in the same position. Confirm that pressure gauge shows –14.7 psi [Gauge] (–0.101 MPa).
6)Remove gauge manifold valve quickly from service port of stop valve.
7)Fully open all stop valves on the gas pipe and the liquid pipe. Operating without fully opening lowers the performance and this causes trouble.
8)Refer to 1-2., and charge the prescribed amount of refrigerant if needed. Be sure to charge slowly with liquid refrigerant. Otherwise, composition of the refrigerant in the system may be changed and affect performance of the air conditioner.
9)Tighten cap of service port to obtain the initial status.

4-5. TEST RUN
•Test runs of the indoor units should be performed individually. See the installation manual coming with the indoor unit, and make sure all the units operate properly.
•If the test run with all the units is performed at once, possible erroneous connections of the refrigerant pipes and the indoor/outdoor unit connecting wires cannot be detected. Thus, be sure to perform the test run one by one.
About the restart protective mechanism
Once the compressor stops, the restart preventive device operates so the compressor will not operate for 3 minutes to protect the air conditioner.
Wiring/piping correction function
This unit has a wiring/piping correction function which corrects wiring and piping combination. When there is possibility of incorrect wiring and piping combination, and confirming the combination is difficult, use this function to detect and correct the combination by following the procedures below.

4-6. EXPLANATION TO THE USER
•Using the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, explain to the user how to use the air conditioner (how to use the remote controller, 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.).
•Recommend the user to read the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS carefully.
5. PUMPING DOWN
When relocating or disposing of the air conditioner, pump down the system following the procedure below so that no refrigerant is released into the atmosphere.
1)Turn off the breaker.
2)Connect the gauge manifold valve to the service port of the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
3)Fully close the stop valve on the liquid pipe side of the outdoor unit.
4)Turn on the breaker.
5)Start the emergency COOL operation on all the indoor units.
6)When the pressure gauge shows 0.1 to 0 psi [Gauge] (0.05 to 0 MPa), fully close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit and stop the operation. (Refer to the indoor unit installation manual about the method for stopping the operation.)
*If too much refrigerant has been added to the air conditioner system, the pressure may not drop to 0.1 to 0 psi [Gauge] (0.05 to 0 MPa), or the protection function may operate due to the pressure increase in the high-pressure refrigerant circuit. If this occurs, use a refrigerant collecting device to collect all of the refrigerant in the system, and then recharge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant after the indoor and outdoor units have been relocated.
7)Turn off the breaker. Remove the pressure gauge and the refrigerant piping.
WARNING
When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes.
The compressor may burst and cause injury if any foreign substance, such as air, enters the pipes.
