SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected and checked.
Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these
instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or
death.
Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause
• overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
• To prevent possible hazards from insulation failure, the unit must be grounded.
• This equipment is strongly recommended to be installed with Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual
Current Device (RCD). Otherwise, it may cause electrical
shock and fire in case of equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.
When Wiring
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Ventilate the room well, in the event that is refrigerant gas leaks during the installation. Be careful not to allow
contact of the refrigerant gas with a flame as this will cause the generation of poisonous gas.
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the
• flare and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When performing piping work do not
mix air except for specified refrigerant
(R410A) in refrigeration cycle. It causes capacity down, and risk of explosion
and injury due to high tension inside the refrigerant cycle.
WARNING
Do not leak refrigerant while piping work for an installation
or re-installation, and while repairing refrigeration parts.
Handle liquid refrigerant carefully as it may cause frostbite.
• Check for a leaking refrigerant!
Refrigerant gas may produce a toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire.
• Do not add or replace refrigerant other
than specified type.
It may cause product damage, burst
and injury etc.
2
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains) before opening the unit to check or repair electrical
parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving
parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced.
WARNING
• This product must not be modified or disassembled under
any circumstances. Modified or
disassembled unit may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• Do not clean inside the indoor and outdoor units by users. Engage authorized dealer or specialist for
cleaning.
• In case of malfunction of this appliance, do not repair by yourself.
Contact to the sales dealer or service dealer for a repair.
Others
CAUTION
CAUTION
• Do not touch the air inlet or
the sharp aluminum fins of the outdoor unit. You may get injured.
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when
installing or testing the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas.
• Confirm after installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If the gas comes in contact with a burning stove,
gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can cause the generation of poisonous gas.
• Do not sit or step on the unit,
you may fall down accidentally.
• Do not touch the air inlet or
the sharp aluminum fins of the outdoor unit. You may get injured.
• Do not stick any object into the
FAN CASE.
You may be injured and the unit may be damaged.
Check of Density Limit
The room in which the air conditioner is to be installed requires a design that in the event of refrigerant gas leaking out, its density will not exceed a set limit.
The refrigerant (R410A), which is used in the air
conditioner, is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of ammonia, and is not restricted by laws imposed to protect the ozone layer. However, since it contains more than air, it poses the risk of suffocation if its density should rise excessively. Suffocation from leakage of refrigerant
is almost non-existent. With the recent increase in the
number of high density buildings, however, the installation
of multi air conditioner systems is on the increase
because of the need for effective use of floor space, individual control, energy conservation by curtailing heat
and carrying power, etc.
Most importantly, the multi air conditioner system is able
to replenish a large amount of refrigerant compared to
conventional individual air conditioners. If a single unit of the multi air conditioner system is to be installed in a small room, select a suitable model and installation procedure so that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks out,
its density does not reach the limit (and in the event of
an emergency, measures can be made before injury can
occur).
ASHRAE and the International Mechanical Code of the ICC as well as CSA provide guidance and define
safeguards related to the use of refrigerants, all of which define a Refrigerant Concentration Level (RCL) of 25 pounds (11.3kg) per 1,000 cubic feet (28.3m3) for R410A refrigerant. For additional guidance and precautions related to refrigerant safety, please refer to the following documents:
International Mechanical Code 2009 (IMC-2009)

Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant
1. Care regarding tubing
1-1. Process tubing
l
Material: Use C1220 phosphorous deoxidized copper specified in JIS H3300 “Copper and Copper Alloy Seamless Pipes and Tubes.”
l
Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.
l
Use a tube cutter when cutting the tubing, and be sure to remove any flash. This also applies to distribution joints
(optional).
l
When bending tubing, use a bending radius that is 4 times the outer diameter of the tubing or larger.
Use sufficient care in handling the tubing. Seal the tubing ends with caps or tape to

1-2. Prevent impurities including water, dust and oxide from entering the tubing. Impurities can cause R410A
refrigerant deterioration and compressor defects. Due to the features of the refrigerant and refrigerating machine
oil, the prevention of water and other impurities becomes more important than ever.
prevent dirt, moisture, or other foreign substances from entering. These substances can result in system malfunction.
2. Be sure to recharge the refrigerant only in liquid form.
2-1. Since R410A is a non-azeotrope, recharging the refrigerant in gas form can lower performance and cause defects
in the unit.
2-2. Since refrigerant composition changes and performance decreases when gas leaks, collect the remaining
refrigerant and recharge the required total amount of new refrigerant after fixing the leak.
3. Different tools required
3-1. Tool specifications have been changed due to the characteristics of R410A. Some tools for R22- and R407C-type refrigerant systems cannot be used.
R407C tools
Item
Manifold gauge Yes No
Charge hose Yes No To resist higher pressure, material must be changed.
Vacuum pump Yes Yes
Leak detector Yes No
Flaring oil Yes No
* Using tools for R22 and R407C and new tools for R410A together can cause defects.

Remarks
Types of refrigerant, refrigerating machine oil, and pressure gauge are different.
Use a conventional vacuum pump if it is equipped with a check valve. If it has no check valve, purchase and
attach a vacuum pump adapter.
Leak detectors for CFC and HCFC that react to chlorine do not function because R410A contains no chlorine. Leak detector for HFC134a can be used for R410A.
For systems that use R22, apply mineral oil (Suniso
oil) to the flare nuts on the tubing to prevent refrigerant leakage. For machines that use R407C or R410A, apply
synthetic oil (ether oil) to the flare nuts.

3-2. Use R410A exclusive cylinder only.
New refrigerant R410A cannot be used for earlier models
1. Compressor specifications are different.
If recharging a R22 or R407C compressor with R410A, durability will significantly decrease since
some of the materials used for compressor parts are different.

2. Existing tubing cannot be used (especially R22).
Completely cleaning out residual refrigerating
machine oil is impossible, even by flushing.
3. Refrigerating machine oil differs (R22).
Since R22 refrigerating machine oil is mineral oil, it does not dissolve in R410A. Therefore, refrigerating machine oil discharged from the compressor can cause compressor damage.

1-8. Additional Refrigerant Charge
Additional refrigerant charge amount is calculated from the liquid tubing total length, combination number of outdoor unit and
refrigerant amount according to all indoor unit cooling capacity.
Required amount of additional refrigerant charge = [(Necessary amount of additional refrigerant charge per ft. (m) of each size of liquid tube x its tube length) + (...) + (...)] + [Necessary amount of additional refrigerant charge per outdoor unit] + [Necessary amount of additional refrigerant charge for all indoor unit cooling capacity]
* Always charge accurately using a scale for weighing.

WARNING
Always check the gas density limit for the room in which the unit is installed.
1-10. Check of Limit Density
When installing an air conditioner in a room, it is necessary to
ensure that even if the refrigerant gas accidentally leaks out, its
density does not exceed the limit level for that room.
Pay special attention to any location, such as
CAUTION
a basement, etc., where leaking refrigerant can accumulate, since refrigerant gas is heavier than air.
1-11. Installing Distribution Joint
(1) Refer to “HOW TO ATTACH DISTRIBUTION JOINT” enclosed
with the optional distribution joint kit (CZ-P680PJ1U, CZ-P1350PJ1U, CZ-P160BK1U, CZ-P680BK1U, CZ-P1350BK1U).
(2) When creating a branch using a commercially available T-joint
(header joint system), orient the main tubing so that it is either horizontal (level) or vertical. In order to prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in stopped units, if the main tubing is horizontal and directly connected to the indoor unit, each branch tubing length should be at an angle that is greater than horizontal. If there are other cases, keep the main tubing horizontal (level). If the main tubing is vertical, provide a raised starting portion for each branch.
(3) If there are height differences between indoor units or if branch
tubing that follows a distribution joint is connected to only 1 unit, a trap or ball valve must be added to that distribution joint. (When adding the ball valve, locate it within 1.3 ft. (40cm) of the distribution joint.)
If a trap or ball valve is not added, do not operate the system before repairs to a malfunctioning unit are completed. (The refrigerant oil sent through the tubing to the malfunctioning unit will accumulate and may damage the compressor.)

Charging procedure
Be sure to charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form.
1. After performing a vacuum, charge with refrigerant from the liquid tubing side.
At this time, all valves must be in the “fully closed” position.
2. If it was not possible to charge the designated amount, operate the system in Cooling mode while charging with refrigerant from the gas tubing side. (This is performed at the time of the test run. For this, all valves must be in the “fully open” position. However if only one outdoor unit is installed, a balance tube is not used. Therefore, leave the valves fully closed.) Charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form. With R410A refrigerant, charge while adjusting the amount being fed a little at a time in order to prevent liquid refrigerant from backing up.
l
After charging is completed, turn all valves to the “fully open” position.
l
Replace the tubing covers as they were before.
CAUTION

2. SELECTING THE INSTALLATION SITE
2-1. Outdoor Unit
Example: 2 units installation
* For other installation, follow the standards of combination
installation.
AVOID:
l
heat sources, exhaust fans, etc.
l
damp, humid or uneven locations
l
indoors (no-ventilation location)
DO:
l
choose a place as cool as possible.
l
choose a place that is well ventilated.
l
allow enough room around the unit for air intake/exhaust and possible maintenance.
l
use lug bolts or equal to bolt down unit, reducing vibration
and noise.

Installation Space
Install the outdoor unit where there is enough space for
ventilation. Otherwise the unit may not operate properly.
Fig. 2-2 shows the minimum space requirement around
the outdoor units when 3 sides are open and only 1 side is
shuttered, with open space above the unit. The mounting base should be concrete or a similar material that allows for adequate drainage. Make provisions for anchor bolts, platform height, and other site-specific installation requirements.
Wall height: Less than 1.7ft. (500mm)
Wall height: Unlimited
* Over 2 in.
(50mm)
Over 2-3/8 in. (60mm)
Wall height: Less than 4.9 ft. (1500mm)
Over 1 ft.(300mm)
* Over 2 in. (50mm)
Over 1.7ft. (500mm)
Wall height: Unlimited
* When setting the anchor bolt to "B" or "C" (see page 19),
make enough space for installation operation. (Space between units: Over 0.6 ft. (180mm), Space from
wall: Over 0.83 ft. (250mm))
* When installing a snow-proof ducting, make space between
the units 7-3/32” (180mm) regardless of the positions (A - C) for installation holes.
* Make a walk-in space in front and behind the unit to ensure
ease of operation.
Fig. 2-2
l
Leave space open above the
CAUTION
unit.
l
Construct louvers or other openings in the wall, if necessary, to ensure adequate ventilation.
NOTE
l
Do not do any wiring or tubing within 1 ft. (0.3m) of the front panel, because this space is needed as a servicing space
for the compressor.
l
Ensure a base height of 4" (10cm) or more to ensure that drainage water does not accumulate and freeze around the bottom of the unit.
l
If installing a drain pan, install the drain pan prior to
installing the outdoor unit.
* Make sure there is at least 6" (15cm) between the outdoor
unit and the ground.
Also, the direction of the tubing and electrical wiring should be from the front of the outdoor unit.

2-2. Shield for Horizontal Exhaust Discharge
It is necessary to install an air-discharge chamber (field supply) to direct exhaust from the fan horizontally if it is difficult to provide a minimum space of 7 ft. (2m) between the air-discharge outlet and a nearby obstacle. (Fig. 2-3)
In regions with heavy snowfall,
CAUTION
the outdoor unit should be provided with a solid, raised platform and snow-proof ducting (field supply). (Fig. 2-4)
2-3. Installing the Outdoor Unit in Heavy Snow
Areas
In locations where wind-blown snow can be a problem, snow-proof ducting (field supply) should be fitted to the unit and direct exposure to the wind should be avoided as much as possible. (Fig. 2-5) The following problems may occur if proper countermeasures are not taken:
l
The fan in the outdoor unit may stop running, causing the
unit to be damaged.
l
There may be no air flow.
l
The tubing may freeze and burst.
l
The condenser pressure may drop because of strong wind,
and the indoor unit may freeze.

2-4. Precautions When Installing in Heavy Snow
Areas
a) The platform should be higher than the maximum snow
depth. (Fig. 2-4)
b) The 2 anchoring feet of the outdoor unit should be used for
the platform, and the platform should be installed beneath the air-intake side of the outdoor unit.
c) The platform foundation must be solid and the unit must
be secured with anchor bolts.
d) When installing on a roof subject to strong wind,
countermeasures must be taken to prevent the unit from being overturned.
