Do not use the air conditioner for special purposes (e.g. keeping food, animals, plants,
precision devices, or art objects in a room).
- Such items could be damaged or deteriorated.
Collect the refrigerant and properly dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.
Do not install the unit on or over items that are subject to water damage.
- When the room humidity exceeds 80% or if the drain pipe is clogged, condensation may collect
and drip from the indoor unit onto the ceiling or floor.
Drain piping must be installed by a dealer or qualified personnel to ensure proper
drainage.
- Improper drain piping may cause water leakage, resulting in damage to furniture and other
surroundings.
Take appropriate measures against electrical noise interference when installing the unit in
hospitals or radio communication facilities.
- Inverter, high-frequency medical, or wireless communication equipment as well as power
generators may cause the air conditioning system to malfunction. The air conditioning system
may also adversely affect the operation of these types of equipment by creating electrical noise.
Insulate pipes to prevent condensation.
- Condensation may collect and drip from the unit onto the ceiling or floor.
Keep the service valves closed until refrigerant charging is completed.
- Failure to do so will damage the unit.
Place a wet towel on the service valves before brazing the pipes to keep the temperature of
the valves from rising above 120ºC (248ºF).
- Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.
Keep the flame out of contact with the cables and metal sheet when brazing the pipes.
- Failure to do so may result in burnout or malfunction.
Use the following tools specifically designed for use with the specified refrigerant: Gauge
manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum
gauge, and refrigerant recovery equipment.
- Gas leak detectors for conventional refrigerants will not react to a refrigerant that does not
contain chlorine.
- If the specified refrigerant is mixed with water, refrigerant oil, or another refrigerant, the
refrigerant oil will deteriorate and the compressor will malfunction.
WT07281X03
GB-6
Page 9
Use a vacuum pump with a check valve.
- If the vacuum pump oil flows back into the refrigerant lines, the refrigerant oil may deteriorate
and the compressor may malfunction.
Keep tools clean.
- If dust, dirt, or water accumulates on the charging hose or the flare processing tool, the
refrigerant will deteriorate and the compressor will malfunction.
Use refrigerant piping made of phosphorus deoxidized copper (copper and copper alloy
seamless pipes) that meets local requirements. Pipe joints should also meet local
requirements. Keep the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes clean and free of sulphur,
oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other contaminants.
- Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate
and cause the compressor to malfunction.
Store pipes indoors, and keep both ends of the pipes sealed until just before making a
flare connection or brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in plastic bags.)
- If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant lines, the refrigerant oil will deteriorate and the
compressor will malfunction.
Braze the pipes with a nitrogen purge to avoid oxidation.
- Oxidized flux inside the refrigerant pipes will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate and cause
the compressor to malfunction.
GB
Do not use existing refrigerant piping.
- The old refrigerant and refrigerant oil in the existing piping contain a large amount of chlorine,
which will cause the refrigerant oil in the new unit to deteriorate and cause the compressor to
malfunction.
Charge refrigerant in a liquid state.
- Charging refrigerant in the gaseous state will change the composition of the refrigerant and lead
to a performance drop.
Do not use a charging cylinder when charging refrigerant.
- The use of a charging cylinder may change the composition of the refrigerant and lead to a
performance drop.
If a large electric current flows due to a malfunction or faulty wiring, earth-leakage breakers
on the unit side and on the upstream side of the power supply system could both operate.
Depending on the importance of the system, separate the power supply system or take
protective coordination of breakers.

6. Transporting the unit
When lifting the unit, pass the slings through the four designated sling holes.
- Improper lifting will cause the unit to topple or fall, resulting in serious injury.
・Always use two slings to lift up the unit. Each sling must be at least 8 m (26 ft) long and must be able to support the
weight of the unit.
・Put protective pads between slings and the unit where the slings touch the unit at the base to protect the unit from
being scratched.
・Put 50 mm (2 in) or thicker protective pads between slings and the unit where the slings touch the unit at the top of
the unit to protect the unit from being scratched and to avoid contact with the slings and the fan guard.
・Make sure that the angles between slings at the top are less than 40 degrees.

7. Installation location
Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.
- If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, fire or explosion may result.
・Provide sufficient space around the unit for effective operation, efficient air movement, and ease of access for
maintenance.
・Note that refrigerant gas is heavier than air and will therefore tend to collect in low spots such as basements.
・When an indoor unit that draws in outside air exits near the outdoor unit, be careful not to affect the normal
operation of the indoor unit.

(3) Combination of face-to-face and side-by-side installations
Install the unit in accordance with the instructions to minimize the risk of damage from
earthquakes and strong winds.
- Improper installation will cause the unit to topple, resulting in serious injury.
The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its weight.
- Failure to do so will cause the unit to fall, resulting in serious injury.
・When performing the foundation work, make sure that the floor surface has sufficient strength and carefully route
pipes and wires in consideration of the water drainage that will be required when the unit is operated.
・If considering routing the pipes and wires across the bottom of the unit, make sure that the base is at least 100 mm
(3-15/16 in) high so that the through-holes will not be blocked.
・Provide a strong base of concrete or angle iron. If a stainless steel base is used, insulate the area between the
base and the outdoor unit by putting a rubber cushion or by applying an electrically insulated coating to prevent the
base from rusting.
・Install the unit on a level surface.
・With some types of installation, unit vibration and sound will be transmitted to the floors and walls. In such locations,
take measures to prevent vibration (such as using anti-vibration rubber pads).

9. Refrigerant piping work
Do not use any refrigerant other than the type indicated in the manuals for the unit and on
the nameplate.
- Doing so will cause the unit or pipes to burst, or result in an explosion or fire during use, during
repairs, or at the time of disposal of the unit.
- It may also be in violation of applicable laws.
- MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION cannot be held responsible for malfunctions or
accidents resulting from the use of the wrong type of refrigerant.
After the installation has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks.
- If the refrigerant leaks, oxygen starvation may result. If the leaked refrigerant comes in contact
with a heat source, toxic gas will be generated.
Use the following tools specifically designed for use with the specified refrigerant: Gauge
manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum
gauge, and refrigerant recovery equipment.
- Gas leak detectors for conventional refrigerants will not react to a refrigerant that does not
contain chlorine.
- If the specified refrigerant is mixed with water, refrigerant oil, or another refrigerant, the
refrigerant oil will deteriorate and the compressor will malfunction.
GB
Do not use existing refrigerant piping.
- The old refrigerant and refrigerant oil in the existing piping contain a large amount of chlorine,
which will cause the refrigerant oil in the new unit to deteriorate and cause the compressor to
malfunction.
9-1. Restrictions
・Existing refrigerant piping must not be used because the design pressure for systems using R410A is higher than
that for systems using other types of refrigerants.
・Do not install outdoor unit piping when it is raining.
・Do not use special detergents for washing piping.
・Always observe the restrictions on refrigerant piping (such as pipe size, pipe length, and vertical separation
distance) to prevent equipment failure or a decline in heating/cooling performance.
・Do not install solenoid valves to prevent oil backflow and compressor start-up failure.
・Do not install a sight glass because it may show improper refrigerant flow. If a sight glass is installed, inexperienced
technicians that use the glass may overcharge the refrigerant.
・Branching cannot be made after header branching.

9-2. Pipe selection
Use refrigerant piping made of phosphorus deoxidized copper (copper and copper alloy
seamless pipes) that meets local requirements. Pipe joints should also meet local
requirements. Keep the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes clean and free of sulphur,
oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other contaminants.
- Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate
and cause the compressor to malfunction.

<A> <B> <C> <D>
Before heating the brazed sections, remove the gas and oil that are trapped in the pipes.
- Failure to do so may generate fire, resulting in serious injury.
Ventilate the room while servicing the unit.
- If the refrigerant leaks, oxygen deficiency may result. If the leaked refrigerant comes in contact
with a heat source, toxic gas will be generated.
Store pipes indoors, and keep both ends of the pipes sealed until just before making a
flare connection or brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in plastic bags.)
- If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant lines, the refrigerant oil will deteriorate and the
compressor will malfunction.
Keep the service valves closed until refrigerant charging is completed.
- Failure to do so will damage the unit.
Place a wet towel on the service valves before brazing the pipes to keep the temperature of
the valves from rising above 120ºC (248ºF).
- Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.
Keep the flame out of contact with the cables and metal sheet when brazing the pipes.
- Failure to do so may result in burnout or malfunction.
Braze the pipes with a nitrogen purge to avoid oxidation.
- Oxidized flux inside the refrigerant pipes will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate and cause
the compressor to malfunction.
9-5-1. Removing the pinched connecting pipes

9-6. Air-tightness test
Do not use oxygen, flammable gas, or a refrigerant containing chlorine for air-tightness
testing.
- Doing so may result in an explosion. Chlorine will deteriorate the refrigerant oil.
After refrigerant pipe installation is completed, check the system for leaks by conducting an air-tightness test. If there
is a leak, the composition of the refrigerant will change and the performance will drop.
<Air-tightness test procedures>
① Make sure the service valves are closed.
② Add pressure to the refrigerant pipes through the service ports of the liquid and gas pipes.
* Pressurize to the design pressure (4.15 MPa) using nitrogen gas.
③ If the pressure holds for one day and does not decrease, the pipes have passed the test and there are no leaks.
If the pressure decreases, there is a leak. Look for the source of the leak by spraying a bubbling agent (e.g.,
Gupoflex) on the flared or brazed sections.
④ Wipe off the bubbling agent.

Insulate pipes to prevent condensation.
- Condensation may collect and drip from the unit onto the ceiling or floor.
Insulate the liquid and gas pipes separately with polyethylene foam insulation materials. Inadequate insulation may
cause condensation to drip. Pipes in the ceiling are especially vulnerable to condensation and require adequate
insulation.
9-7-1. Insulation material
・Check that the insulation materials meet the standards in the table below.
* The insulation thickness may need to be increased in high-temperature/humidity conditions.
* Even when specifications are defined by your client, the standards in the table should be met.

9-8. Evacuation of the system
Do not purge the air using refrigerant. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the system.
- Residual gas in the refrigerant lines will cause bursting of the pipes or an explosion.
Use a vacuum pump with a check valve.
- If the vacuum pump oil flows back into the refrigerant lines, the refrigerant oil may deteriorate
and the compressor may malfunction.
<Evacuation procedures>
① Evacuate the system from both service ports, using a vacuum pump with the service valves closed.
② After the vacuum reaches 650 Pa, continue evacuation for at least one hour.
③ Stop the vacuum pump and leave it for an hour.
④ Verify that the vacuum has not increased by more than 130 Pa.
⑤ If the vacuum has increased by more than 130 Pa, water infiltration is suspected. Pressurize the system with dry
nitrogen gas up to 0.05 MPa. Repeat ① though ⑤ until the vacuum is increased by 130 Pa or below. If the
results persist, then perform the "Triple Evacuation" below.
<Triple Evacuation>
① Evacuate the system to 533 Pa from both service ports, using a vacuum pump.
② Pressurize the system with dry nitrogen gas up to 0 Pa from the discharge service port.
③ Evacuate the system to 200 Pa from the suction service port, using a vacuum pump.
④ Pressurize the system with dry nitrogen gas up to 0 Pa from the discharge service port.
⑤ Evacuate the system from both service ports, using a vacuum pump.
⑥ After the vacuum reaches 66.7 Pa, stop the vacuum pump and leave it for an hour. A vacuum of 66.7 Pa must
be maintained for at least one hour.
⑦ Verify that the vacuum has not increased for at least 30 minutes.

10. Electrical work
Electrical work must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local
regulations and the instructions provided in this manual. Only use the specified cables and
dedicated circuits.
- Inadequate power source capacity or improper electrical work will result in electric shock,
malfunction, or fire.
Proper grounding must be provided by qualified personnel.
- Improper grounding may result in electric shock, fire, explosion, or malfunction due to electrical
noise. Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes, lightning rods, or telephone ground
wires.
10-1. Before electrical work
・When performing electrical work, refer to the indoor unit or controller installation manuals as well.
・Bear in mind ambient conditions (ambient temperature, direct sunlight, rain water, etc.) when proceeding with the
wiring and connections.
・When opening or closing the front panel of the control box, do not let it come into contact with any of the internal
components.
・Specific wiring requirements should adhere to the wiring regulations of the region.
・Include some slack in the wiring for the control box on the indoor and outdoor units, because these boxes are
sometimes removed at the time of service work.
10-2. Power cables and device capacity
Include some slack in the power cables.
- Failure to do so may break or overheat the cables, resulting in smoke or fire.
Install an inverter circuit breaker on the power supply of each unit.
- Failure to do so may result in electric shock or fire.
Only use properly rated breakers (an earth leakage breaker, local switch <a switch + fuse
that meets local electrical codes>, or overcurrent breaker).
- Failure to do so may result in electric shock, malfunction, smoke, or fire.
Only use standard power cables of sufficient capacity.
- Failure to do so may result in current leakage, overheating, smoke, or fire.
Tighten all terminal screws to the specified torque.
- Loose screws and contact failure may result in smoke or fire.
If a large electric current flows due to a malfunction or faulty wiring, earth-leakage breakers
on the unit side and on the upstream side of the power supply system could both operate.
Depending on the importance of the system, separate the power supply system or take
protective coordination of breakers.

・Be sure to use the appropriate type of overcurrent breaker. Note that generated overcurrent may include some
amount of direct current.
・Select the type of breaker for an inverter circuit as an earth leakage breaker. (Mitsubishi Electric NV-S series or its
equivalent)
・The earth leakage breaker should be used in combination with a local switch.
・Use a local switch with at least 3 mm (1/8 in) contact separation in each pole.
・Do not connect the power cables L1, L2, and L3 to N. Ensure the correct phase sequence.
・If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
・Use dedicated power cables for the outdoor unit and indoor unit. Ensure OC and OS are wired individually.

*1 If TB7 on the outdoor units in the same refrigerant system are not daisy-chained, connect the centralized control transmission cable to
TB7 on the OC. If the OC is out of order, or if centralized control is being conducted during a power supply shut-off, daisy-chain TB7 on
the OC, OS1 and OS2. (In the case that the outdoor unit whose power jumper CN41 on the control board has been replaced with CN40 is
out of order or the power is shut-off, centralized control will not be conducted even when TB7 is daisy-chained.)
Connect the shield to the S terminal.
③ When a power supply unit is not connected to the centralized control transmission cable, move the power
jumper from CN41 to CN40 on only one of the outdoor units.
④ On the outdoor unit whose power jumper was moved from CN41 to CN40, short circuit the S terminal and the
earth terminal.
⑤ Connect terminals M1 and M2 of the transmission terminal block on the indoor unit that has the lowest address
in the group to the terminal block on the remote controller.
⑥ When a system controller is connected, set SW5-1 on all outdoor units to ON.

11. Test run
11-1. Before a test run
After the wiring work has been completed, measure the insulation resistance, and make
sure that it reads at least 1 MΩ.
- Failure to do so may result in electric leakage, malfunction, or fire.
Turn on the power at least 12 hours before starting operation. Keep the power turned on
throughout the operating season.
- Insufficient energizing will result in malfunction.
・Before performing a test run, turn off the power to the outdoor unit, and disconnect the power cable from the power
supply terminal block to measure the insulation resistance.
・Measure the insulation resistance between the power supply terminal block and the earth with a 500 V ohmmeter,
and make sure it is at least 1 MΩ.
・If the insulation resistance is 1 MΩ or above, connect the power cable to the power supply terminal, and turn on the
power at least 12 hours before starting operation. If the insulation resistance is below 1 MΩ, do not operate the unit,
and check the compressor for a earth fault.
・While the unit is turned on, the compressor will remain energized even when it is stopped.
・The insulation resistance between the power supply terminal block and the earth may drop to near 1 MΩ
immediately after installation or when the main power to the unit has been turned off for a long time because of the
stagnation of refrigerant in the compressor.
・By turning on the main power and energizing the unit for 12 hours or longer, the refrigerant in the compressor will
evaporate and the insulation resistance will rise.
・Do not apply an ohmmeter voltage to the terminal block for transmission cables. Doing so will damage the control
board.
・Do not measure the insulation resistance of the transmission terminal block of the unit remote controller.
・Check for refrigerant leakage and for loose power cables and transmission cables.
・Check that the liquid and gas side service valves are fully open. Tighten the valve caps.
・Check the phase order of the power supply and the interphase voltage. If the voltage is out of the ±10% range, or if
the voltage imbalance is more than 2%, discuss the countermeasure with the customer.
・When a transmission booster unit is connected, turn on the transmission booster unit before turning on the outdoor
unit. If the outdoor unit is turned on first, the refrigerant circuit connection information will not be properly verified. If
the outdoor unit is turned on first, turn on the transmission booster unit and then power reset the outdoor unit.
・When a power supply unit is connected to the centralized control transmission cable, or when power is supplied
from a system controller with a power-supply function, perform a test run with the power supply unit being
energized. Leave the power jumper connected to CN41.
・When power is turned on or after power recovery, performance may degrade for approximately 30 minutes.

11-3. Operation characteristics in relation to the refrigerant charge
It is important to have a clear understanding of the characteristics of refrigerant and the operation characteristics of air
conditioners before attempting to adjust the refrigerant charge in a given system.
・During cooling operation, the amount of refrigerant in the accumulator is the smallest when all indoor units are in
operation.
・During heating operation, the amount of refrigerant in the accumulator is the largest when all indoor units are in
operation.
・Refrigerant undercharge creates a tendency for the discharge temperature to rise.
・Changing the amount of refrigerant in the system while there is refrigerant in the accumulator has little effect on the
discharge temperature.
・The higher the high pressure level, the more likely it is for the discharge temperature to rise.
・The lower the low pressure level, the more likely it is for the discharge temperature to rise.
・When the amount of refrigerant in the system is adequate, the compressor shell temperature is 10 to 60ºC (50 to
140ºF) higher than the low-pressure saturation temperature. If the temperature difference between the compressor
shell temperature and low-pressure saturation temperature is 5ºC (41ºF) or less, refrigerant overcharge is
suspected.

12. Inspection and maintenance
Only qualified personnel must relocate or repair the unit. Do not attempt to disassemble or
alter the unit.
- Failure to do so will result in refrigerant leakage, water leakage, serious injury, electric shock, or
fire.
・While the unit is turned on, the compressor will remain energized even when it is stopped. Before inspecting the
inside of the control box, turn off the power, keep the unit off for at least 10 minutes, and confirm that the capacitor
voltage (inverter main circuit) has dropped to 20 VDC or less. (It takes about 10 minutes to discharge electricity
after the power supply is turned off.)
・Control boxes house high-voltage and high-temperature electrical parts. They may still remain energized or hot
after the power is turned off.
・Perform the service after disconnecting the fan board connector (CNINV) and the inverter board connector (CN1).
(To plug or unplug connectors, check that the outdoor unit fan is not rotating and that the voltage of capacitor in the
main circuit is 20 VDC or below. The capacitor may collect a charge and cause an electric shock when the outdoor
unit fan rotates in windy conditions. Refer to the wiring nameplate for details.)
Reconnect the connector (CNINV) back to the fan board and reconnect the connector (CN1) back to the inverter
board after servicing.
・Unit components may be damaged after long use of the unit, resulting in a performance drop or the unit becoming a
safety hazard. To use the unit safely and maximize its life, it is recommended that a maintenance contract with a
dealer or qualified personnel be signed. If the contract is signed, service technicians will periodically inspect the unit
to identify any damage at an early stage, and take appropriate measures.
