1. Safety precautions

► Before installing the unit, make sure you read all the “Safety precautions”. ► Please report to or take consent by the supply authority before connec-

tion to the system.

► Equipment complying with IEC/EN 61000-3-12

Warning: Describes precautions that must be observed to prevent danger of injury or death to the user.

Caution: Describes precautions that must be observed to prevent damage to the unit.

Warning:

• The unit must not be installed by the user. Ask a dealer or an authorized

technician to install the unit. If the unit is installed incorrectly, water leakage, electric shock, or ﬁre may result.

• For installation work, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and use

tools and pipe components speciﬁcally made for use with R410A refrigerant. The R410A refrigerant in the HFC system is pressurized 1.6 times the pressure of usual refrigerants. If pipe components not designed for R410A refrigerant are used and the unit is not installed correctly, the pipes may burst and cause damage or injuries. In addition, water leakage, electric shock, or ﬁre may result.

• The unit must be installed according to the instructions in order to minimize

the risk of damage from earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An incor rectly installed unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.

• The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its weight.

If the unit is mounted on an unstable structure, it may fall down and cause damage or injuries.

• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to

prevent the refrigerant concentration in the room from exceeding the safety limit in the event of refrigerant leakage. Consult a dealer regarding the appro priate measures to prevent the allowable concentration from being exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the concentration limit to be exceeded, hazards due to lack of oxygen in the room may result.

• Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during operation. If refrigerant comes

into contact with a ﬂame, poisonous gases will be released.

• All electric work must be performed by a qualiﬁed technician according to

local regulations and the instructions given in this manual. The units must be powered by dedicated power lines and the correct voltage and circuit breakers must be used. Power lines with insufﬁcient capacity or incorrect electrical work may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

• Be sure to connect the power supply cords and the connecting wires for

the indoor units, outdoor units, and branch boxes directly to the units (no intermediate connections).

Intermediate connections can lead to communication errors if water enters

the cords or wires and causes insufﬁcient insulation to ground or a poor electrical contact at the intermediate connection point.

After installation work has been completed, explain the “Safety Precautions,” use, and maintenance of the unit to the customer according to the information in the Operation Manual and perform the test run to ensure normal operation. Both the Installation Manual and Operation Manual must be given to the user for keeping. These manuals must be passed on to subsequent users.

: Indicates a part which must be grounded.

Warning:

Carefully read the labels afﬁxed to the main unit.

(If an intermediate connection is necessary, be sure to take measures to

prevent water from entering the cords and wires.)

• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. If the pipes are not connected correctly, the unit will not be properly grounded and electric shock may result.

• Use only speciﬁed cables for wiring. The connections must be made securely without tension on the terminals. If the cables are connected or installed incorrectly, overheating or ﬁre may result.

• The terminal block cover panel of the outdoor unit must be ﬁrmly attached. If the cover panel is mounted incorrectly and dust and moisture enter the unit, electric shock or ﬁre may result.

• When installing or relocating, or servicing the air conditioner, use only the speciﬁed refrigerant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines.

If air is mixed with the refrigerant, then it can be the cause of abnormal high

pressure in the refrigerant line, and may result in an explosion and other hazards.

The use of any refrigerant other than that speciﬁed for the system will cause

mechanical failure or system malfunction or unit breakdown. In the worst case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.

• Use only accessories authorized by Mitsubishi Electric and ask a dealer or an authorized technician to install them. If accessories are incorrectly installed, water leakage, electric shock, or ﬁre may result.

• Do not alter the unit. Consult a dealer for repairs. If alterations or repairs are not performed correctly, water leakage, electric shock, or ﬁre may result.

• The user should never attempt to repair the unit or transfer it to another location. If the unit is installed incorrectly, water leakage, electric shock, or ﬁre may result. If the air conditioner must be repaired or moved, ask a dealer or an authorized technician.

• After installation has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks. If refriger ant leaks into the room and comes into contact with the ﬂame of a heater or portable cooking range, poisonous gases will be released.

• Refrigerant leakage may cause suffocation. Provide ventilation in accordance with EN378-1.

1.1. Before installation

Caution:

• Do not use the unit in an unusual environment. If the air conditioner is installed in areas exposed to steam, volatile oil (including machine oil), or sulfuric gas, areas exposed to high salt content such as the seaside, or areas where the unit will be covered by snow, the performance can be signiﬁcantly reduced and the internal parts can be damaged.

• Do not install the unit where combustible gases may leak, be produced, ﬂow, or accumulate. If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, ﬁre or explosion may result.

• The outdoor unit produces condensation during the heating operation. Make

1.2. Before installation (relocation)

Caution:

• Be extremely careful when transporting the units. Two or more persons are needed to handle the unit, as it weighs 20 kg or more. Do not grasp the pack aging bands. Wear protective gloves to remove the unit from the packaging and to move it, as you can injure your hands on the ﬁns or other parts.

• Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging materials. Packaging materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause stabs or other injuries.

sure to provide drainage around the outdoor unit if such condensation is likely to cause damage.

• When installing the unit in a hospital or communications ofﬁce, be prepared for noise and electronic interference. Inverters, home appliances, high-frequency medical equipment, and radio communications equipment can cause the air conditioner to malfunction or breakdown. The air conditioner may also affect medical equipment, disturbing medical care, and communications equipment, harming the screen display quality.

• The base and attachments of the outdoor unit must be periodically checked

for looseness, cracks or other damage. If such defects are left uncorrected, the unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.

• Do not clean the air conditioner unit with water. Electric shock may result.

• Tighten all ﬂare nuts to speciﬁcation using a torque wrench. If tightened too much, the ﬂare nut can break after an extended period and refrigerant can leak out.

1. Safety precautions

1.3. Before electric work

Caution:

• Be sure to install circuit breakers. If not installed, electric shock may result.

IMPORTANT Make sure that the current leakage breaker is one compatible with higher harmonics. Always use a current leakage breaker that is compatible with higher harmonics as this unit is equipped with an inverter. The use of an inadequate breaker can cause the incorrect operation of inverter.

• For the power lines, use standard cables of sufﬁcient capacity. Otherwise, a

short circuit, overheating, or ﬁre may result.

1.4. Before starting the test run

Caution:

• Turn on the main power switch more than 12 hours before starting operation.

Starting operation just after turning on the power switch can severely damage the internal parts. Keep the main power switch turned on during the operation season.

• Before starting operation, check that all panels, guards and other protective

parts are correctly installed. Rotating, hot, or high voltage parts can cause injuries.

1.5. Using R410A refrigerant air conditioners

Caution:

• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes,

to connect the refrigerant pipes. Make sure the insides of the pipes are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust. Use pipes with the speciﬁed thickness. (Refer to page 6) Note the following if reusing existing pipes that carried R22 refrigerant.

- Replace the existing ﬂare nuts and ﬂare the ﬂared sections again.

- Do not use thin pipes. (Refer to page 6)

• Store the pipes to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of

the pipes sealed until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.) If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, oil dete rioration or compressor breakdown may result.

• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration

oil applied to the ﬂared sections. If mineral oil is mixed in the refrigeration oil, oil deterioration may result.

• When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables. If the connections are loosened, the cables can snap or break and overheating or ﬁre may result.

• Be sure to ground the unit. Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes, lighting rods, or telephone grounding lines. If the unit is not properly grounded, electric shock may result.

• Use circuit breakers (ground fault interrupter, isolating switch (+B fuse), and molded case circuit breaker) with the speciﬁed capacity. If the circuit breaker capacity is larger than the speciﬁed capacity, breakdown or ﬁre may result.

• Do not touch any switch with wet hands. Electric shock may result.

• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes with bare hands during operation. The refrigerant pipes are hot or cold depending on the condition of the ﬂowing refrigerant. If you touch the pipes, burns or frostbite may result.

• After stopping operation, be sure to wait at least ﬁve minutes before turning off the main power switch. Otherwise, water leakage or breakdown may result.

• Do not use refrigerant other than R410A refrigerant. If another refrigerant is used, the chlorine will cause the oil to deteriorate.

• Use the following tools speciﬁcally designed for use with R410A refrigerant. The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant. Contact your nearest dealer for any questions.

Gauge manifold Flare tool

Charge hose Size adjustment gauge

Gas leak detector Vacuum pump adapter

• Be sure to use the correct tools. If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, refrigeration oil deterioration may result.

• Do not use a charging cylinder. If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of the refrigerant will change and the efﬁciency will be lowered.

5.1. Precautions for devices that use R410A refrigerant

• Refer to page 3 for precautions not included below on using air conditioners with R410A refrigerant.

• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration oil applied to the ﬂared sections.

• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Use refrigerant pipes with the thicknesses speciﬁed in the table to the below. Make sure the insides of the pipes are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust.

Warning: When installing or relocating, or servicing the air conditioner, use only the speciﬁed refrigerant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines. If air is mixed with the refrigerant, then it can be the cause of abnormal high pres sure in the refrigerant line, and may result in an explosion and other hazards. The use of any refrigerant other than that speciﬁed for the system will cause mechanical failure or system malfunction or unit breakdown. In the worst case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.

If connecting an indoor unit with ø9.52 liquid pipes (model number 71 or more for Mand S-Series and model number 60 or more for P-Series), the additional refrigerant charging amount in Table 1 must be corrected (add the following value given in Table 1).

Additional refrigerant charging correction amount ΔR=0.01 [kg/m] × ø9.52 branch pipe (liquid pipe) total length [m]

Example) b1=20 m, b2=25 m

Indoor unit A ø9.52 Liquid pipe a1=12 m Indoor unit B ø6.35 Liquid pipe a2=11 m Indoor unit C ø6.35 Liquid pipe a6=14 m Indoor unit D ø9.52 Liquid pipe a7=13 m

Total piping length : b1+b2+a1+a2+a6+a7=95 m → According to Table 1, the additional refrigerant charging amount is 3.2 kg. Because indoor units with ø9.52 liquid pipes are connected (indoor units A and D in this example), the additional refrigerant charging amount must be corrected.

Additional refrigerant charging correction amount ΔR =0.01 [kg/m] × ø9.52 branch pipe (liquid pipe) total length (a1+a7) =0.01 × (12+13 m) =0.25 kg

Therefore, the additional refrigerant charging amount is 3.2 kg + 0.25 kg = 3.45 kg. * Although two ø6.35 liquid pipes are used between the branch box and the Y-shape

connection pipe when connecting the P100 indoor unit, calculate the additional refrigerant charging amount assuming only one ø9.52 liquid pipe is used.

Pipe inlet gap

• Use putty or sealant to seal the pipe inlet around the pipes so that no gaps re

main.

(If the gaps are not closed, noise may be emitted or water and dust will enter the

unit and breakdown may result.)

5.7. Caution for piping connection/valve operation

• Conduct piping connection and valve operation accurately by following the ﬁgure

below.

• Apply sealer along the insulator to prevent water entering the insulator covering the

refrigerant pipe joints.

• After evacuation and refrigerant charge, ensure that the handle is fully open. If

operating with the valve closed, abnormal pressure will be imparted to the high- or low-pressure side of the refrigerant circuit, giving damage to the compressor, etc.

• Determine the amount of additional refrigerant charge (refer “5.3. Addition of refriger-

ant”), and charge refrigerant additionally through the service port after completing piping connection work.

• After completing work, tighten the service port (12 - 15 N·m) and cap (20 - 25 N·m)

securely to prevent gas leak.

Method of completely opening the stop valve

The stop valve opening method varies according to the outdoor unit model. Use the appropriate method to open the stop valves. (1) Type A (Fig. 5-9)  Remove the cap, then turn one-quarter rotation counter-clockwise with a ﬂat-bladed

screwdriver to complete open.

 Check that the valves are fully open, then return the cap to its original state and

tighten it down.

(2) Type B (Fig. 5-9)  Remove the cap, pull the handle toward you and rotate 1/4 turn in a counterclock-

wise direction to open.

 Make sure that the stop valve is open completely, push in the handle and rotate

the cap back to its original position.

(3) Type C (Fig. 5-10)  Remove the cap and turn the valve rod counterclockwise as far as it will go with

the use of a 4 mm hexagonal wrench. Stop turning when it hits the stopper.

 Make sure that the stop valve is open completely and rotate the cap back to its

original position.

Airtight test and evacuation

 Airtight test (Fig. 5-11) Airtight test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas. For the test method, refer to the following ﬁgure. (1) Connecting the testing tool. Make a test with the stop valve closed. Be also sure

to pressurize both liquid or high-pressure pipe and gas or low pressure pipe.

(2) Do not add pressure to the speciﬁed pressure all at once; add pressure little by lit

tle.

(3) If the speciﬁed pressure holds for about one day and does not decrease, the pipes

have passed the test and there are no leaks.

• If the surrounding temperature changes by 1 °C, the pressure will change by about 0.01 MPa (0.1 kgf/cm

(4) If the pressure decreases in steps (2) or (3), there is a gas leak. Look for the source

of the gas leak.

 Evacuation (Fig. 5-12)

Evacuation should be made from the service port provided on the outdoor unit’s stop valve to the vacuum pump commonly used for both liquid or high-pressure pipe and gas or low-pressure pipe. (Make evacuation from both liquid or high-pressure pipe and gas or low-pressure pipe with the stop valve closed.) Remember: Never carry out air purge by refrigerant.

Warning: When installing or moving a unit to another place, do not mix anything other than speciﬁed refrigerant into the refrigeration cycle. If air is mixed, the refrigeration cycle may obtain abnormally high pressure, resulting in a burst pipe.

* A high-precision gravimeter measurable up to 0.1 kg should be used. If you are unable

to prepare such a high-precision gravimeter, you may use a charging cylinder.

Note:

• Use a gauge manifold, changing hose, and other parts for the refrigerant

indicated on the unit.

• Use a gravimeter. (One that can measure down to 0.1 kg)

Precautions when using the charge valve (Fig. 5-13)
