formed improperly, electric shock and fire may result.
• Securely install the outdoor unit terminal cover (panel).
- If the terminal cover (panel) is not installed properly, dust or water
may enter the outdoor unit and fire or electric shock may result.
• When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site,
do not charge the it with a refrigerant different from the refrigerant (R407C) specified on the unit.
- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant,
the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be damaged.
• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must
be taken to prevent the refrigerant concentration from exceeding the safety limit even if the refrigerant should leak.
- Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate measures to prevent
the safety limit from being exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak
and cause the safety limit to be exceeded, hazards due to lack of
oxygen in the room could result.
• When moving and reinstalling the air conditioner, consult the
dealer or an authorized technician.
- If the air conditioner is installed improperly, water leakage, electric
shock, or fire may result.
• After completing installation work, make sure that refrigerant
gas is not leaking.

• The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against
leakage according to local regulation or standards.
- Following standards may be applicable if local regulation are not
available.
• Pay a special attention to the place, such as a basement, etc.
where refrigeration gas can stay, since refrigeration is heavier
than the air.
1.2. Precautions for devices that use
R407C refrigerant
Caution:
• Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
- The old refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping con-
tains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the refrigerator
oil of the new unit to deteriorate.
• Use refrigerant piping made of C1220 (CU-DHP) phosphorus
deoxidized copper as specified in the JIS H3300 “Copper and
copper alloy seamless pipes and tubes”. In addition, be sure
that the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes are clean and free
ENGLISH
3
of hazardous sulphur, oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils,
moisture, or any other contaminant.
- Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause the
refrigerant residual oil to deteriorate.
• Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep
both ends of the piping sealed until just before brazing. (Store
elbows and other joints in a plastic bag.)
- If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of
the oil and compressor trouble may result.
• Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the
refrigerator oil to coat flares and flange connections.
- The refrigerator oil will degrade if it is mixed with a large amount of
mineral oil.
• Use liquid refrigerant to fill the system.
- If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the composition of the
refrigerant in the cylinder will change and performance may drop.
• Do not use a refrigerant other than R407C.
- If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is used, the chlorine in the refriger-
ant may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
• Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.
- The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant cycle and
cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
• Do not use the following tools that are used with conventional
refrigerants.
(Gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, reverse flow
check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge, refrigerant recovery equipment)
- If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil are mixed in the
ENGLISH
R407C, the refrigerant may deteriorated.
- If water is mixed in the R407C, the refrigerator oil may deteriorate.
- Since R407C does not contain any chlorine, gas leak detectors for
conventional refrigerants will not react to it.
• Do not use a charging cylinder.
- Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
• Be especially careful when managing the tools.
- If dust, dirt, or water gets in the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant
may deteriorate.
1.3. Before getting installed
• Install the power cable so that tension is not applied to the cable.
- Tension may cause the cable to break and generate heat and cause
a fire.
• Install an leak circuit breaker, as required.
- If an leak circuit breaker is not installed, electric shock may result.
• Use power line cables of sufficient current carrying capacity
and rating.
- Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and cause a
fire.
• Use only a circuit breaker and fuse of the specified capacity.
- A fuse or circuit breaker of a larger capacity or a steel or copper
wire may result in a general unit failure or fire.
• Do not wash the air conditioner units.
- Washing them may cause an electric shock.
• Be careful that the installation base is not damaged by long use.
- If the damage is left uncorrected, the unit may fall and cause per-
sonal injury or property damage.
• Install the drain piping according to this Installation Manual to
ensure proper drainage. Wrap thermal insulation around the
pipes to prevent condensation.
- Improper drain piping may cause water leakage and damage to
furniture and other possessions.
• Be very careful about product transportation.
- Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs more than
20 kg.
- Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use any PP
bands for a means of transportation. It is dangerous.
- Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. Doing so may cut your fin-
gers.
- When transporting the outdoor unit, suspend it at the specified po-
sitions on the unit base. Also support the outdoor unit at four points
so that it cannot slip sideways.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials.
- Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts,
may cause stabs or other injuries.
- Tear apart and throw away plastic pac kaging bags so that children
will not play with them. If children pla y with a plastic bag which was
not torn apart, they face the risk of suffocation.
Caution:
• Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.
- If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an explosion
may result.
• Do not use the air conditioner where food, pets, plants, precision instruments, or artwork are kept.
- The quality of the food, etc. may deteriorate.
• Do not use the air conditioner in special environments.
- Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce the per-
formance of the air conditioner or damage its parts.
• When installing the unit in a hospital, communication station,
or similar place, provide sufficient protection against noise.
- The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-frequency
medical equipment, or radio communication equipment may cause
the air conditioner to operate erroneously , or f ail to operate. On the
other hand, the air conditioner may affect such equipment by creating noise that disturbs medical treatment or image broadcasting.
• Do not install the unit on a structure that may cause leakage.
- When the room humidity exceeds 80% or when the drain pipe is
clogged, condensation may drip from the indoor unit. Perform collective drainage work together with the outdoor unit, as required.
1.4. Before getting installed (moved) -
electrical work
Caution:
• Ground the unit.
- Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes, lightning
rods, or telephone ground lines. Improper grounding may result in
electric shock.
• The reverse phase of L lines (L1, L2, L3) can be detected (Error
cord : 4103), but the reverse phase of L lines and N line can be
not be detected.
- The some electric parts should be damaged when power is sup-
plied under the miss wiring.
1.5. Before starting the test run
Caution:
• Turn on the power at least 12 hours before starting operation.
- Starting operation immediately after turning on the main power
switch can result in severe damage to internal parts. Keep the pow er
switch turned on during the operational season.
• Do not touch the switches with wet fingers.
- Touching a switch with wet fingers can cause electric shock.
• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately after
operation.
- During and immediately after operation, the refrigerant pipes are
may be hot and may be cold, depending on the condition of the
refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant piping, compressor, and
other refrigerant cycle parts. Your hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the refrigerant pipes.
• Do not operate the air conditioner with the panels and guards
removed.
- Rotating, hot, or high-voltage parts can cause injuries.
• Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping operation.
- Alwa ys wait at least five minutes before turning off the power. Oth-
erwise, water leakage and trouble may occur.

10. Refrigerant piping installation
Connecting the piping is a terminal-branch type in which refrigerant piping from the outdoor unit is branched at the terminal and connected to each of
the indoor units.
The method of connection consists of flare connections at the indoor units, flange connections for the piping of the outdoor unit and flare connections
for the liquid, oil balance piping. Note that the branched sections are brazed.
Warning:
Always use extreme care to prevent the refrigerant gas (R407C) from leaking while using fire or flame. If the refrigerant gas comes in contact
with the flame from any source, such as a gas sto ve, it breaks do wn and generates a poisonous gas which can cause gas poisoning. Ne ver
weld in an unventilated room. Al wa ys conduct an inspection f or gas leakage after installation of the refrigerant piping has been completed.
10.1. Areas of caution
1 Use the following materials for refrigeration piping.
• Material: Seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper pipe, C1220T-OL or C1220T-O (Note: C1220T-OL is preferred).
• Size: Refer to pages 14 to 15.
2 Commercially available piping often contains dust and other materials. Always blow it clean with a dry inert gas.
3 Use care to prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the piping during installation.
4 Reduce the number of bending portions as much as possible, and make bending radius as big as possible.
5 Always use the branch piping set shown below , which are sold separ ately. This unit requires a CMC-30A (optional).
6 If the diameters of the branch piping of the designated refrigerant piping differs, use a pipe cutter to cut the connecting section and then use an
adapter for connecting different diameters to connect the piping.
7 Always observe the restrictions on the refrigerant piping (such as rated length, the difference between high/low pressures, and piping diameter).
Failure to do so can result in equipment failure or a decline in heating/cooling performance.
8 A second branch cannot be made after a header branch. (These are shown by ×.)

9 Always use good-quality materials for brazing.
0 The City Multi Series Super Y will stop due an abnormality due to excessive or insufficient coolant. At such a time, alw a ys properly charge the unit.
When servicing, always check the notes concerning pipe length and amount of additional refrigerant at both locations, the refrigerant volume
calculation table on the back of the service panel and the additional refrigerant section on the labels for the combined number of indoor units (Refer
to pages 14 to 15).
A Use liquid refrigerant to fill the system.
B Never use refrigerant to perform an air purge. Always evacuate using a vacuum pump.
C Always insulate the piping properly. Insufficient insulation will result in a decline in heating/cooling perf ormance, water drops from condensation and
other such problems (Refer to pages 25 to
D When connecting the refrigerant piping, make sure the ball valve of the outdoor unit is completely closed (the factory setting) and do not operate it
until the refrigerant piping for the outdoor and indoor units has been connected, a refrigerant leakage test has been performed and the evacuation
process has been completed.
E Always use a non-oxidizing brazing material for brazing the parts. If a non-oxidizing br azing material is not used, it could cause clogging or damage
to the compressor unit. (Details of the piping connections and valve operation can be found on pages 16 to 20.)
F Never perform outdoor unit piping connection work when it is raining.

Warning:
When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, do not charge the it with a refrigerant different from the refrigerant (R407C)
specified on the unit.
- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be damaged.
Caution:
• Use refrigerant piping made of C1220T-OL phosphorus deoxidized copper. In addition, be sure that the inner and outer surfaces of the
pipes are clean and free of hazardous sulphur, oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other contaminant.
- Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause the refrigerant residual oil to deteriorate.
• Use liquid refrigerant for sealing.
- Sealing with gas refrigerant will change the composition of the refrigerant in the cylinder and reduce the unit’s performance.
• Never use existing refrigerant piping.
- The large amount of chlorine in conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping will cause the new refrigerant to deteriorate.
• Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of the piping sealed until just before brazing.
- If dust, dirt, or water gets into the refrigerant cycle, the oil will deteriorate and the compressor may fail.
• Do not use a charging cylinder.
- Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.

■ Selecting the refrigerant branch kit
Use the table to the right to make the selection based
on the model total of indoor units downstream from the
branch section.
■ Select each section of refrigerant piping
(1) Section from outdoor unit to first
branch (C)
(2) Sections from branch to indoor
unit (a, b, c, d, e, f)
(3) Section from branch to branch
(D, E, F, G)
Select the size from the table to the right.

■
Additional refrigerant charge
The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant at the time of shipping according to the chart above. As this charge does not
include the amount needed for extended piping, additional charging for each refrigerant line will be required on site. In order that
future servicing may be properly provided, always keep a record
of the size and length of each refrigerant line and the amount of
additional charge by writing it in the space provided on the outdoor unit.
■
Calculation of additional refrigerant charge
•
Calculate the amount of additional charge based on the length
of the piping extension and the size of the refrigerant line.
•
Use the table to the right as guide to calculating the amount
of additional charging and charge the system according.
•
If the calculation results in a fraction of less than 0.1 kg, round
up to the next 0.1 kg. For example, if the result of the calculation was 23.28 kg, round the result up to 23.3 kg.
•
If the total amount of refrigerant including the amount of refrigerant sealed in the outdoor unit when shipped from the
factor plus additional refrigerant for extension piping e xceeds
73 kg, use 73 kg as the total amount of refrigerant.
