[1] General Precautions
General Precautions
Do not use refrigerant other than the type indicated in the manuals provided with the
unit and on the nameplate. Doing so may
cause the unit or pipes to burst, or result in
explosion or fire during use, during repair,
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.
Do not install the unit in a place where large
amounts of oil, steam, organic solvents, or
corrosive gases, such as sulfuric gas, are
present or where acidic/alkaline solutions
or sprays containing sulfur are used frequently. These substances can compromise the performance of the unit or cause
certain components of the unit to corrode,
which can result in refrigerant leakage, water leakage, injury, electric shock, malfunctions, smoke, or fire.
Do not try to defeat the safety features of the
unit or make unauthorized setting changes.

[4] Piping Work
Piping Work
To reduce the risk of injury, including frost
bites, that may result from being blasted
with refrigerant, use caution when operating the refrigerant service valve. If refrigerant leaks out and comes in contact with an
open flame, toxic gases may be generated.
To reduce the risk of refrigerant catching
fire and causing burns, remove the refrigerant gas and the residual refrigerant oil in the
pipes before heating them.
To reduce the risk of pipe damage, refrigerant leakage, and oxygen deprivation, use
pipes that meet the pipe thickness specifications, which vary by the type of refrigerant used, pipe diameter, and pipe material.
To reduce the risk of pipe burst or explosion, evacuate the refrigerant circuit using a
vacuum pump, and do not purge the system
with refrigerant.
To reduce the risk of explosion and deterioration of refrigerant oil caused by chloride,
do not use oxygen, flammable gas, or refrigerant that contains chloride as a pressurizing gas.
To prevent explosion, do not heat the unit
with refrigerant gas in the refrigerant circuit.
To reduce the risk of refrigerant leakage and
resultant oxygen deprivation, use the flare
nut with holes that is supplied with the refrigerant service valve.

of contact with the edges of components.
To reduce the risk of pipe bursting and explosion due to abnormal pressure rise, do
not allow any substances other than R410A
(such as air) to enter the refrigerant circuit.
[5] Wiring Work
Wiring Work
To reduce the risk of wire breakage, overheating, smoke, and fire, keep undue force
from being applied to the wires.
To reduce the risk of water leakage and resultant damage to the furnishings, drain
piping work must be performed by your
dealer or qualified personnel according to
the instructions detailed in the Installation
Manual.
To keep the ceiling and floor from getting
wet due to condensation, properly insulate
the pipes.
To reduce the risk of wire breakage, overheating, smoke, or fire, properly secure the
cables in place and provide adequate slack
in the cables so as not to stress the terminals.
iv
To reduce the risk of injury or electric
shock, switch off the main power before
performing electrical work.
All electric work must be performed by a
qualified electrician according to the local
regulations, standards, and the instructions
detailed in the Installation Manual. Capacity
shortage to the power supply circuit or improper installation may result in malfunction, electric shock, smoke, or fire.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, smoke,
or fire, install an earth leakage breaker on
the power supply to each unit.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, smoke,
or fire, install an inverter circuit breaker on
the power supply to each unit. (Applicable
to inverter units only)
Use properly rated breakers and fuses
(earth leakage breaker, local switch <switch
+ fuse>, no-fuse breaker). The use of a
breaker with a breaking capacity greater
than the specified capacity may cause electric shock, malfunctions, smoke, or fire.
Use properly rated breakers and fuses (inverter circuit breaker, local switch <switch +
fuse>, no-fuse breaker). The use of a breaker with a breaking capacity greater than the
specified capacity may cause electric
shock, malfunctions, smoke, or fire. (Applicable to inverter units only)
To reduce the risk of current leakage, overheating, smoke, or fire, use properly rated
cables with adequate current carrying capacity.
Proper grounding must be provided by a licensed electrician.
Do not connect the grounding wire to a gas
pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or telephone
wire. Improper grounding may result in
electric shock, smoke, fire, or malfunction
due to electrical noise interference.
To reduce the risk of current leakage, wire
breakage, smoke, or fire, keep the wiring
out of contact with the refrigerant pipes and
other parts, especially sharp edges.
[6] Relocation and Repairs
Relocation and Repairs
To reduce the risk of refrigerant leakage,
water leakage, injury, electric shock, and
fire, units should only be moved or repaired
by your dealer or qualified personnel.
To reduce the risk of wire shorting, electric
shock, malfunctions, or fire, keep circuit
boards dust free, and do not touch them
with your hands or tools.
[7] Additional Precautions
To reduce the risk of wire shorting, electric
leak, electric shock, smoke, or fire, do not
perform maintenance work in the rain.
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock,
and fire, properly reinstall all removed components after completing repair work.
To reduce the risk of refrigerant and water
leakage, check the pipe supports and insulation for damage during inspection or repair, and replace or repair the ones that are
found to be deteriorated.
Additional Precautions
To avoid damage to the unit, use appropriate tools to install, inspect, or repair the
unit.
v
To reduce the risk or malfunction, turn on
the power at least 12 hours before starting
operation, and leave the power turned on
throughout the operating season.
To reduce the risk of the vacuum pump oil
backflowing into the refrigerant cycle and
causing the refrigerant oil to deteriorate,
use a vacuum pump with a check valve.
Recover all refrigerant in the units, and dispose of it properly according to any applicable laws and regulations.
To reduce the risk of deterioration of refrigerant oil and compressor malfunctions
caused by a refrigerant that contains chloride, such as R22, only use R410A.
Provide a maintenance access to allow for
the inspection of pipes above the ceiling or
the buried pipes.
Take appropriate measures against electrical noise interference when installing the air
conditioners in hospitals or facilities with
radio communication capabilities. Inverter,
high-frequency medical, or wireless communication equipment as well as power
generators may cause the air conditioning
system to malfunction. Air conditioning
system may also adversely affect the operation of these types of equipment by creating
electrical noise.
To reduce the risk of damage to the unit,
leave the valves on the unit closed until refrigerant charging is completed.
Have a set of tools for exclusive use with
R410A. Consult your nearest Mitsubishi
Electric Dealer.
Keep dust, dirt, and water off charging hose
and flare tool. Infiltration of dust, dirt, or water into the refrigerant circuit may cause the
refrigerant oil to deteriorate or damage the
compressor.
Use refrigerant piping and couplings that
meet the applicable standards. For refrigerant pipes, use pipes made of phosphorus
deoxidized copper. Keep the inner and outer surfaces of pipes and couplings clean
and free of such contaminants as sulfur, oxides, dust, dirt, shaving particles, oil, and
moisture. Failure to follow these directions
may result in the deterioration of refrigerant
oil or compressor damage.
Store the piping materials indoors, and
keep both ends of the pipes sealed until immediately before brazing. Keep elbows and
other joints in plastic bags. Infiltration of
dust, dirt, or water into the refrigerant circuit may cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate or damage the compressor.
Place a wet towel on the refrigerant service
valve before brazing the pipes to keep its
temperature from rising above 120ºC and
damaging the surrounding equipment.
Direct the blazing torch flame away from the
adjacent cables and sheet metal to keep
them from being overheated and damaged.
Prepare tools for exclusive use with R410A.
Do not use the following tools if they have
been used with the conventional refrigerant
(R22): gauge manifold, charging hose, refrigerant leak detector, check valve, refrigerant charge spout, vacuum gauge, and
refrigerant recovery equipment. R410A
does not contain chloride, so leak detectors
for use with older types of refrigerants will
not detect an R410A leak. Infiltration of the
residual refrigerant, refrigerant oil, or water
on these tools may cause the refrigerant oil
in the new system to deteriorate or damage
the compressor.
Apply ester oil, ether oil, or a small amount
of alkyl benzene to flares and flanges. The
use and accidental infiltration of mineral oil
into the system may cause the refrigerant
oil to deteriorate or damage the compressor.
To reduce the risk of oxidized film from entering the refrigerant pipe and causing the
refrigerant oil to deteriorate or damaging
the compressor, braze pipes under nitrogen
purge.
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping. A
large amount of chloride that is contained in
the residual refrigerant and refrigerant oil in
the existing piping may cause the refrigerant oil in the new unit to deteriorate or damage the compressor.
Charge refrigerant in the liquid state. If refrigerant is charged in the gas phase, the
composition of the refrigerant in the cylinder will change, compromising the unit's
performance.
vi
Do not use a charging cylinder. The use of a
charging cylinder will change the composition of the refrigerant, compromising the
unit's performance.
Charge the system with an appropriate
amount of refrigerant in the liquid phase.
Refer to the relevant sections in the manuals to calculate the appropriate amount of
refrigerant to be charged. Refrigerant overcharge or undercharge may result in performance drop or abnormal stop of operation.
To reduce the risk of power capacity shortage, always use a dedicated power supply
circuit.
To reduce the risk of both the breaker on the
product side and the upstream breaker from
tripping and causing problems, split the
power supply system or provide protection
coordination between the earth leakage
breaker and no-fuse breaker.
Have a backup system, if failure of the unit
has a potential for causing significant problems or damages.

1-2-2Storage of Piping Materials
1. Storage location
Store the pipes to be used indoors. (Warehouse at site or owner's warehouse)
If they are left outdoors, dust, dirt, or moisture may infiltrate and contaminate the pipe.
2. Sealing the pipe ends
1 Check Before Servicing
Both ends of the pipes should be sealed until just before brazing.
Keep elbow pipes and T-joints in plastic bags.
The new refrigerator oil is 10 times as hygroscopic as the conventional refrigerating machine oil (such as Suniso) and, if not
handled with care, could easily introduce moisture into the system. Keep moisture out of the pipes, for it will cause the oil to
deteriorate and cause a compressor failure.
1-2-3Pipe Processing
Use a small amount of ester oil, ether oil, or alkylbenzene to coat flares and flanges.
Use a minimum amount of oil.
Use only ester oil, ether oil, and alkylbenzene.

1-2-4Characteristics of the New and Conventional Refrigerants
1. Chemical property
As with R22, the new refrigerant (R410A) is low in toxicity and chemically stable nonflammable refrigerant.
However, because the specific gravity of vapor refrigerant is greater than that of air, leaked refrigerant in a closed room will
accumulate at the bottom of the room and may cause hypoxia.
If exposed to an open flame, refrigerant will generate poisonous gases. Do not perform installation or service work in a confined area.

2. Refrigerant composition
R410A is a pseudo-azeotropic HFC blend and can almost be handled the same way as a single refrigerant, such as R22. To
be safe, however, draw out the refrigerant from the cylinder in the liquid phase. If the refrigerant in the gaseous phase is drawn
out, the composition of the remaining refrigerant will change and become unsuitable for use.
If the refrigerant leaks out, it may be replenished. The entire refrigerant does not need to be replaced.
3. Pressure characteristics
The pressure in the system using R410A is 1.6 times as great as that in the system using R22.

[1-2 Handling and Characteristics of Piping Materials, Refrigerant, and Refrigerant Oil ]
1-2-5Refrigerant Oil
1. Refrigerating machine oil in the HFC refrigerant system
HFC type refrigerants use a refrigerating machine oil different from that used in the R22 system.
Note that the ester oil used in the system has properties that are different from commercially available ester oil.

1-3Working with Refrigerant Piping
1-3-1Pipe Brazing
No changes have been made in the brazing procedures. Perform brazing with special care to keep foreign objects (such as oxide
scale, water, and dust) out of the refrigerant system.
Example: Inside the brazed connection
Use of no inert gas during brazingUse of inert gas during brazing
1. Items to be strictly observed
Do not conduct refrigerant piping work outdoors if raining.
Use inert gas during brazing.
Use a brazing material (BCuP-3) that requires no flux when brazing between copper pipes or between a copper pipe and
copper coupling.
If installed refrigerant pipes are not immediately connected to the equipment, then braze and seal both ends.
2. Reasons
The new refrigerating machine oil is 10 times as hygroscopic as the conventional oil and is more likely to cause unit failure if
water infiltrates into the system.
Flux generally contains chloride. Residual flux in the refrigerant circuit will cause sludge to form.
3. Notes
Do not use commercially available antioxidants because they may cause the pipes to corrode or refrigerating machine oil to
deteriorate.

1-3-2Air Tightness Test
No changes have been made in the detection method. Note that a refrigerant leak detector for R22 will not detect an R410A leak.
Halide torch R22 leakage detector
1 Check Before Servicing
1. Items to be strictly observed
Pressurize the equipment with nitrogen up to the design pressure (4.15MPa[601psi]), and then judge the equipment's air tight-
ness, taking temperature variations into account.
Refrigerant R410A must be charged in its liquid state (vs. gaseous state).
2. Reasons
Oxygen, if used for an air tightness test, poses a risk of explosion. (Only use nitrogen to check air tightness.)
Refrigerant R410A must be charged in its liquid state. If gaseous refrigerant in the cylinder is drawn out first, the composition
of the remaining refrigerant in the cylinder will change and become unsuitable for use.
3. Notes
Procure a leak detector that is specifically designed to detect an HFC leak. A leak detector for R22 will not detect an
HFC(R410A) leak.
1. Vacuum pump with a reverse-flow check valve (Photo1)
To prevent the vacuum pump oil from flowing into the refrigerant circuit during power OFF or power failure, use a vacuum
pump with a reverse-flow check valve.
A reverse-flow check valve may also be added to the vacuum pump currently in use.
2. Standard of vacuum degree (Photo 2)
Use a vacuum pump that attains 0.5Torr(65Pa) or lower degree of vacuum after 5 minutes of operation, and connect it directly
to the vacuum gauge. Use a pump well-maintained with an appropriate lubricant. A poorly maintained vacuum pump may not
be able to attain the desired degree of vacuum.
3. Required precision of vacuum gauge
Use a vacuum gauge that registers a vacuum degree of 5Torr(650Pa) and measures at intervals of 1Torr(130Pa). (A recommended vacuum gauge is shown in Photo2.)
Do not use a commonly used gauge manifold because it cannot register a vacuum degree of 5Torr(650Pa).
4. Evacuation time
After the degree of vacuum has reached 5Torr(650Pa), evacuate for an additional 1 hour. (A thorough vacuum drying re-
moves moisture in the pipes.)
Verify that the vacuum degree has not risen by more than 1Torr(130Pa) 1hour after evacuation. A rise by less than
1Torr(130Pa) is acceptable.
If the vacuum is lost by more than 1Torr(130Pa), conduct evacuation, following the instructions in section 6. Special vacuum
drying.
5. Procedures for stopping vacuum pump
To prevent the reverse flow of vacuum pump oil, open the relief valve on the vacuum pump side, or draw in air by loosening
the charge hose, and then stop the operation.
The same procedures should be followed when stopping a vacuum pump with a reverse-flow check valve.
6. Special vacuum drying
When 5Torr(650Pa) or lower degree of vacuum cannot be attained after 3 hours of evacuation, it is likely that water has pen-
etrated the system or that there is a leak.
If water infiltrates the system, break the vacuum with nitrogen. Pressurize the system with nitrogen gas to
0.5kgf/cm
2
G(0.05MPa) and evacuate again. Repeat this cycle of pressurizing and evacuation either until the degree of vac-
uum below 5Torr(650Pa) is attained or until the pressure stops rising.
Only use nitrogen gas for vacuum breaking. (The use of oxygen may result in an explosion.)
HWE13080GB

[1-3 Working with Refrigerant Piping ]
7. Triple Evacuation
The method below can also be used to evacuate the system.
Evacuate the system to 4,000 microns from both service valves. System manifold gauges must not be used to measure vac-
uum. A micron gauge must be used at all times. Break the vacuum with Nitrogen (N2) into the discharge service valve to 0
PSIG.
Evacuate the system to 1,500 microns from the suction service valve. Break the vacuum with Nitrogen (N2) into the discharge
service valve to 0 PSIG.
Evacuate the system to 500 microns. System must hold the vacuum at 500 microns for a minimum of 1 hour.
Conduct a rise test for a minimum of 30 minutes
8. Notes
To evacuate air from the entire system
Applying a vacuum through the check joints at the refrigerant service valve on the high and low pressure sides (BV1
and 2) is not enough to attain the desired vacuum pressure.
Be sure to apply a vacuum through the check joints at the refrigerant service valve on the high and low pressure
sides (BV1 and 2) and also through the check joints on the high and low pressure sides (CJ1 and 2).
To evacuate air only from the outdoor units
Apply a vacuum through the check joints on the high and low pressure sides (CJ1, and 2).
To evacuate air from the indoor units and extension pipes
Apply a vacuum through the check joints at the refrigerant service valve on the high and low pressure sides (BV1
and 2).

1. Reasons
R410A is a pseudo-azeotropic HFC blend (boiling point R32=-52°C[-62°F], R125=-49°C[-52°F]) and can almost be handled
the same way as a single refrigerant, such as R22. To be safe, however, draw out the refrigerant from the cylinder in the liquid
phase. If the refrigerant in the gaseous phase is drawn out, the composition of the remaining refrigerant will change and become unsuitable for use.
2. Notes
When using a cylinder with a siphon, refrigerant is charged in the liquid state without the need for turning it upside down. Check
the type of the cylinder on the label before use.
If the refrigerant leaks out, it may be replenished. The entire refrigerant does not need to be replaced. (Charge refrigerant in
the liquid state.)

[1-4 Precautions for Wiring ]
1-4Precautions for Wiring
Control boxes house high-voltage and high-temperature electrical parts.
They may still remain energized or hot after the power is turned off.
When opening or closing the front cover of the control box, keep out of contact with the internal parts.
Before inspecting the inside of the control box, turn off the power, leave the unit turned off for at least 10 minutes, and check
that the voltage of the electrolytic capacitor (inverter main circuit) has dropped to 20 VDC or less.
It will take approximately 10 minutes until the voltage is discharged after power off.
Disconnect the outdoor unit fan board connector (CNINV) before performing maintenance work.
Before connecting or disconnecting the connector, check that the outdoor unit fan is stopped and that the voltage of the main
circuit capacitor has dropped to 20 VDC or below.
If the outdoor unit fan is rotated by external forces such as strong winds, the main circuit capacitor can be charged and cause
an electric shock.
Refer to the wiring nameplate for details.
Reconnect the connector (CNINV) to the fan board after completion of maintenance work.
When the unit is turned on, the compressor will remain energized even when it is stopped to vaporize the liquid refrigerant
that accumulates in the compressor.
Before connecting wiring to TB7, check that the voltage has dropped below 20 VDC.
When a system controller is connected to the centralized control transmission cable to which power is supplied from the out-
door unit (power jumper on the outdoor unit is connected to CN40), be aware that power can be supplied to the centralized
control transmission and the system controller may detect an error and send an error notice if the outdoor unit fan is rotated
by external forces, such as strong winds, even when power to the outdoor unit is turned off.
When replacing the internal electrical components of the control box, tighten the screws to the recommended tightening
torque as specified below.

∗1 When replacing semiconductor modules (e.g., diode stack, IPM, INV board (with IPM), fan board (with IPM)), apply heat-
sink silicone evenly to the mounting surface of the semiconductor module (or the semiconductor module on the back of
the circuit board). Next, tighten the screws holding the semiconductor module to one-third of the specified torque, and then
tighten the screws to the specified torque.
∗2 Deviating from the recommended tightening torque may cause damage to the unit or its parts.
Take the following steps to ensure that the screws are properly tightened.
1) Ensure that the spring washers are parallel to the terminal block.
Even if the tightening torque is observed, if the washers are not parallel to the terminal block, then the semiconductor module
is not installed properly.
