_ Warning:

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

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.

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 re-
frigerant. 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 mini-
mize the risk of damage from earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An
incorrectly 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 appropriate measures to prevent the allowable concentration from be-
ing 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.

Warning:

Carefully read the labels affixed to the main unit.

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

• Use only specified cables for wiring. The connections must be made se-
curely without tension on the terminals. If the cables are connected or in-
stalled 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 moving the air conditioner, use only the specified refrig-
erant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other
refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines. Air enclosed in the
lines can cause pressure peaks resulting in a rupture and other hazards.

• Use only accessories authorized by Mitsubishi Electric and ask a dealer or
an authorized technician to install them. If accessories are incorrectly in-
stalled, 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 refrig-
erant leaks into the room and comes into contact with the flame of a heater

or portable cooking range, poisonous gases will be released.

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 sig-
nificantly 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 sure to provide drainage around the outdoor unit if such condensa-
tion 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 communi-
cations equipment, harming the screen display quality.

1.2. Before installation (relocation)

Caution:

• Be extremely careful when transporting the units. 2 or more persons are

needed to handle the unit, as it weighs 20 kg, 44 Ibs or more. Do not grasp
the packaging 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 the
edge of 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.

• 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.

• For the power lines, use standard cables of sufficient capacity. Otherwise, a
short circuit, overheating, or fire 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.

1.4. Before starting the test run

Caution:

• Turn on the main power switch more than 12 hours before starting opera-

tion. 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.

• 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. Ifyou touch the pipes, burns or frostbite may result.

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

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 thick-

ness. (Refer to page 5) Note the following if reusing existing pipes that car-
ried R22 refrigerant.

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

- Do not use thin pipes. (Refer to page 5)

• 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
deterioration or compressor breakdown may result.

• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkytbenzene 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.

• 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.

Tools (for R41OA)

Gauge manifold Flare tool

Charge hose Size adjustment gauge

Gas leak detector Vacuum pump adapter

Torque wrench Electronic refrigerant charging scale

• Be sure to use the correct tools. If dust, debris, or moisture enters the re-

frigerant lines, refrigeration oil deterioration may result.

• Do not use a charging cylinder. If a charging cylinder is used, the composi-

tion of the refrigerant will change and the efficiency will be lowered.

2.2. Choosing the outdoor unit installation location

• Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat.

• Select a location from which noise emitted by the unit will not inconvenience
neighbors.

• Select a location permitting easy wiring and pipe access to the power source and
indoor unit.

• Avoid locations where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow, or accu-
mulate.

• Note that water may drain from the unit during operation.

• Select a level location that can bear the weight and vibration of the unit.

• Avoid locations where the unit can be covered by snow. In areas where heavy

snow fall is anticipated, special precautions such as raising the installation loca-
tion or installing a hood on the air intake must be taken to prevent the snow from

blocking the air intake or blowing directly against it. This can reduce the airflow

and a malfunction may result.

• Avoid locations exposed to oil, steam, or sulfuric gas.

• Use the transportation handles of the outdoor unit to transport the unit. If the unit
is carried from the bottom, hands or fingers may be pinched.

4.1. Precautions for devices that use R410A refrigerant

• Refer to page 3 for precautions not included below on using air condition-

ers 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 thick-
nesses 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 sul-

furic compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust.

Z_ Warning:
When installing or moving the air conditioner, use only the specified refriger-
ant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other refrig-

erant and do not allow air to remain in the lines. Air enclosed in the lines can
cause pressure peaks resulting in a rupture and other hazards.

Do not use pipes thinner than those specified above.

4.2. Connecting pipes (Fig. 4-1) (Fig. 4-2)

When commercially available copper pipes are used, inslate both the liquid and
gas pipes separately with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resis-
tant to 100 °C, 212 °F or more, thickness of 12 mm, 1/2 inch or more). (Fig. 4-1)

• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam insu-

lation materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm, 23/64 inch or more).

[Fig. 4-2]

• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tightening
flare nut. @

• Use 2 wrenches to tighten piping connections. ®

• Use leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks after connections are
completed.

• Apply refrigerating machine oil over the entire flare seat surface. ©

• Use the flare nuts for the following pipe size. ®

A12, A18 A24 - A42

Gas side Pipe size (mm, inch) e12.7, 1/2" _15.88, 5/8"

"1: The flare nut is attached to its pipe.
*2: The flare nut is in the outdoor unit accessory.

Do not use the flare nut attached. If it is used, a gas leakage or even a pipe ex-
traction may occur.

• When bending the pipes, be careful not to break them. Bend radii of 100 ram,
3-15/16 inch to 150 ram, 5-27/32 inch are sufficient.

• Make sure the pipes do not contact the compressor. Abnormal noise or vibration

may result.

(_ Pipes must be connected starting from the indoor unit.

Flare nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench.

Q Flare the liquid pipes and gas pipes and apply a thin layer of refrigeration oil

(Applied on site).

4.3. Refrigerant piping (Fig. 4-3)

• For A12, A18

Remove the service panel ® (1 screw).

• For A24-A42

Remove the service panel ® (3 screws) and the front piping cover @ (2 screws)
and rear piping cover ® (2 screws).
(_ Perform refrigerant piping connections for the indoor/outdoor unit when the out-

door unit's stop valve is completely closed.
Q Vacuum-purge air from the indoor unit and the connection piping.
® After connecting the refrigerant pipes, check the connected pipes and the indoor

unit for gas leaks. (Refer to 4.4 Refrigerant pipe airtight testing method)

Vacuumize the refrigerant lines through the service port of the liquid stop valve

and then open the stop valves completely (for both the liquid and gas stop

valves). This will completely connect the refrigerant lines of the indoor and out-

door units.

• If the stop valves are left closed and the unit is operated, the compressor and
control valves will be damaged.

• Use a leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks at the pipe connec-

tion sections of the outdoor unit.

• Do not use the refrigerant from the unit to purge air from the refrigerant lines.

• After the valve work is completed, tighten the valve caps to the correct torque:
20 to 25 N.m, 14 to 18 ft.lbs (200 to 250 kgf.cm).

Failure to replace and tighten the caps may result in refrigerant leakage. In
addition, do not damage the insides of the valve caps as they act as a seal to

prevent refrigerant leakage.

® Use sealant to seal the ends of the thermal insulation around the pipe connec-

tion sections to prevent water from entering the thermal insulation.

4.4. Refrigerant pipe airtight testing method

(1) Connect thetesting tools.

• Make sure thestop valves @ ® are closed and do notopen them.

• Add pressure to the refrigerant lines through the service port © of the liquid stop valve
©.

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

dPPressurize to 0.5 MPa (5 kgf/cm2G), wait 5 minutes, and make sure the pressure does

not decrease.

® Pressurize to 1.5 MPa (15 kgf/cm2G), wait 5 minutes, and make sure the pressure

does not decrease.

® Pressurize to 4.15 MPa (41.5 kgf/cm2G) and measure the surrounding temperature

and refrigerant pressure.

(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.

• Ifthe surrounding temperature changes by 1 °C, the pressure will change by about 0.03

MPa (0.3 kgf/cm2G). Make the necessary corrections.

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

the gas leak.

4.5. Stop valve opening method

Refrigerant pipes are protectively wrapped for A24-A42

• The pipes can be protectively wrapped up to a diameter of _a90 ram, 3-35/64

inch before or after connecting the pipes. Cut out the knockout in the pipe cover
following the groove and wrap the pipes.

Pipe inlet gap for A24-A42

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

remain.(If the gaps are not closed, noise may be emitted or water and dust will
enter the unit and breakdown may result.)

Precautions when using the charge valve (Fig.4-7)
Do not tiqhten the service port too much when installinq it, otherwise, the valve
core could be deformed and become loose causina a aas leak.
After positioning section @ in the desired direction, turn section @ only and tighten it.
Do not further tighten sections @ and ® together after tightening section @.

4.6. Addition of refrigerant

• Additional charging is not necessary if the pipe length does not exceed 20 m, 70 ft
for A12-A36, 30 m 100 ft for A42.

• If the pipe length exceeds the specified length above, charge the unit with addi-
tional R410A refrigerant according to the permitted pipe lengths in the chart below.

* When the unit is stopped, charge the unit with the additional refrigerant through

the liquid stop valve after the pipe extensions and indoor unit have been vacu-
umized.

When the unit is operating, add refrigerant to the gas check valve using a
safety charger. Do not add liquid refrigerant directly to the check valve.

* After charging the unit with refrigerant, note the added refrigerant amount on

the service label (attached to the unit).
Refer to the "1.5. Using R410A refrigerant air conditioners" for more information.

• Be careful when installing multiple units. Connecting to an incorrect indoor unit
can lead to abnormally high pressure and have a serious effect on operation per-

formance.

Z_ Warning:
In case of A-control wiring, there is high voltage potential on the S3 terminal caused by electrical circuit design that has no electrical insulation between power
line and communication signal line. Therefore, please turn off the main power supply when servicing. And do not touch the Sl, S2, S3 terminals when the power
is energized. If isolator should be used between indoor unit and outdoor unit, please use 3-pole type.

7. Test run

7.1. Before test run

I_ After completing installation and the wiring and piping of the indoor and

outdoor units, check for refrigerant leakage, looseness in the power supply
or control wiring, wrong polarity, and no disconnection of one phase in the
supply.

I_ Use a 500-volt megohmmeter to check that the resistance between the

power supply terminals and ground is at least 1.0MQ.

I_ Do not carry out this test on the control wiring (tow voltage circuit) terminals.

/_ Warning:

Do not use the air conditioner if the insulation resistance is less than 1.0MQ.

Insulation resistance
After installation or after the power source to the unit has been cut for an extended
period, the insulation resistance will drop below 1 MG due to refrigerant accumulat-
ing in the compressor. This is not a malfunction. Perform the following procedures.

1. Remove the wires from the compressor and measure the insulation resistance of

the compressor.

2. If the insulation resistance is below 1 M_, the compressor is faulty or the resis-

tance dropped due the accumulation of refrigerant in the compressor.

3. After connecting the wires to the compressor, the compressor will start to warm

up after power is supplied. After supplying power for the times indicated below,

measure the insulation resistance again.

• The insulation resistance drops due to accumulation of refrigerant in the com-
pressor. The resistance will rise above 1 M_ after the compressor is warmed
up for two to three hours.
(The time necessary to warm up the compressor varies according to atmo-
spheric conditions and refrigerant accumulation.)

• To operate the compressor with refrigerant accumulated in the compressor, the
compressor must be warmed up at least 12 hours to prevent breakdown.

4. If the insulation resistance rises above 1 MD, the compressor is not faulty.

Z_Caution:

• The compressor will not operate unless the power supply phase connection
is correct.

• 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 power switch turned on during the

operational season.

I_ The followings must be checked as well.

• The outdoor unit is not faulty. LED1 and LED2 on the control board of the outdoor
unit flash when the outdoor unit is faulty.

• Both the gas and liquid stop valves are completely open.

• A protective sheet covers the surface of the DIP switch panel on the control board of

the outdoor unit. Remove the protective sheet to operate the DIP switches easily.

• Make sure that the all of the SW5 DIP switches for function changes on the con-

trol board of the outdoor unit are set to OFF. If all of the SW5 switches are not set
to OFF, record the settings and then set all of the switches to OFF. Begin recov-
ering the refrigerant. After moving the unit to a new location and completing the
test run, set the SW5 switches to the previously recorded settings.

* After performing the test run, set SW4-1 to OFF.

• After power is supplied, a small clicking noise may be heard from the inside of
the outdoor unit. The electronic expansion valve is opening and closing. The unit
is not faulty.

• A few seconds after the compressor starts, a clanging noise may be heard from
the inside of the outdoor unit. The noise is coming from the check valve due to
the small difference in pressure in the pipes. The unit is not faulty.

The test run operation mode cannot be changed by DIP switch SW4-2 during
the test run. (To change the test run operation mode during the test run, stop
the test run by DIP switch SW4-1. After changing the test run operation mode,
resume the test run by switch SW4-1.)

8.3. Refrigerant collecting (pump down)

Perform the following procedures to collect the refrigerant when moving the indoor
unit or the outdoor unit.

OPSupply power (circuit breaker).

* When power is supplied, make sure that "CENTRALLY CONTROLLED" is not

displayed on the remote controller. If "CENTRALLY CONTROLLED" is dis-
played, the refrigerant collecting (pump down) cannot be completed normally.

® After the gas stop valve is closed, set the SWP switch on the control board of the

outdoor unit to ON. The compressor (outdoor unit) and ventilators (indoor and
outdoor units) start operating and refrigerant collecting operation begins. LED1
and LED2 on the control board of the outdoor unit are lit.
* Only set the SWP switch (push-button type) to ON if the unit is stopped. How-

ever, even if the unit is stopped and the SWP switch is set to ON less than
three minutes after the compressor stops, the refrigerant collecting operation
cannot be performed. Wait until compressor has been stopped for three min-
utes and then set the SWP switch to ON again.

G Because the unit automatically stops in about two to three minutes after the

refrigerant collecting operation (LED1 and LED2 are lit), be sure to quickly close
the gas stop valve. When LED1 and LED2 are lit and the outdoor unit is stopped,
open the liquid stop valve completely, and then repeat step 2 after three minutes
have passed.
* If the refrigerant collecting operation has been completed normally (LED1 and

LED2 are lit), the unit will remain stopped until the power supply is turned off.

Turn off the power supply (circuit breaker).
