For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must:

Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.

Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.

This air conditioner shall be installed in accordance with National Wiring Regulations.

Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices given in this manual.

This symbol refers to a hazard or

WARNING unsafe practice which can result in severe personal injury or death.

This symbol refers to a hazard or

CAUTION unsafe practice which can result in personal injury or product or

property damage.

If Necessary, Get Help

These instructions are all you need for most installation sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or your certified dealer for additional instructions.

In Case of Improper Installation

The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation or maintenance service, including failure to follow the instructions in this document.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

WARNING When Wiring

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 Transporting

Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.

When Installing…

Select an installation location which is rigid and strong enough to support or hold the unit, and select a location for easy maintenance.

…In a Room

Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent “sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to walls and floors.

Keep the fire alarm and the air

CAUTION outlet at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from the unit.

…In Moist or Uneven Locations

Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.

…In an Area with High Winds

Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.

…In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)

Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.

When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing

Pay particular attention to refrigerant leakages.

Ventilate the room immediately, 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 toxic gas.

Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.

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.

WARNING

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.

If the refrigerant comes in contact with a flame, it produces a toxic gas.

Do not add or replace refrigerant other than specified type. It may cause product damage, burst and injury, etc.

00_302411_EN.indd 2

2018/7/4 13:27:15

 

 

 

 

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.

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 .

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.

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. Leaked 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 toxic gas.

Others

CAUTION

• 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 400 oz (11.3 kg) per 1,000 ft3 (28.3 m3) for R410A refrigerant. For additional guidance and precautions related to refrigerant safety, please refer to the following documents:

Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant

1. Care regarding tubing

1-1. Process tubing

Material: Use seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper tube for refrigeration. Wall thickness shall comply with the applicable legislation. The minimal wall thickness must be in accordance with the table below.

Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.

Use a tube cutter when cutting the tubing, and be sure to remove any flash. This also applies to distribution joints

(optional).

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 CAUTION prevent dirt, moisture, or other foreign substances from entering.

These substances can result in system malfunction.

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.

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 R22and R407C-type refrigerant systems cannot be used.

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.

NOTE

1:The outdoor connection main tubing (LO portion) is determined by the total capacity of the outdoor units that are connected to the tube ends.

2:If the longest tubing length (L1) exceeds 295 ft. (90m) (equivalent length), increase the sizes of the main tubes (LM) by 1 rank for gas tubes and liquid tubes. (Use a field supply reducer.) (Select the tube size from the table of main tube sizes (Table 1-3) on the following page (LA table), and from the table of refrigerant tubing sizes (Table 1-9) on the second following page.)

3:If the longest main tubing length (LM) exceeds 164 ft. (50m), increase the main tube size at the portion before 164 ft. (50m) by 1 rank for the gas tubes. (Use a field supply reducer.)

(For the portion that exceeds 164 ft. (50m), set based on the main tube sizes (LA) listed in the table on the following page.)

4:If the tubing length marked "L" (L2 - L4) exceeds 131 ft. (40m), increase the liquid tube and gas tube by 1 rank.

5:If the total distribution tubing length exceeds 1,640ft. (500m), maximum allowable elevation difference (H2) between the indoor units is calculated by the following formula. Make sure the indoor unit’s actual elevation difference should fall within the figure calculated as follows.

Unit of account (feet): 49 x (2 - total tubing length(ft.) ÷ 1,640) or Unit of account (meter): 15 x (2 - total tubing length(m) ÷ 500)

6:If any of the tubing length exceeds 98ft. (30m), increase the size of the liquid and gas tubes by 1 rank.

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.

1-11. Installing Distribution Joint

CAUTION

Pay special attention to any location, such as a basement, etc., where leaking refrigerant can

accumulate, since refrigerant gas is heavier than air.

 

(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).

When connecting a branch tubing to the indoor unit directly, it is necessary for each branch tubing to install at a positive angle with respect to horizontal in order to prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in stopped units. (See the below chart.)

1-13. Example of Tubing Size Selection and Refrigerant Charge Amount

Additional refrigerant charging

Based on the values in Tables 1-3, 4, 5, 7, 10-1 and 10-2, use the liquid tubing size and length, and calculate the amount of additional refrigerant charge using the formula below.

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.

After charging is completed, turn all valves to the “fully open” position.

Replace the tubing covers as they were before.

1. R410A additional charging absolutely must be done through liquid charging. CAUTION 2. The R410A refrigerant cylinder has a gray base color, and the top part is pink.

3. The R410A refrigerant cylinder includes a siphon tube. Check that the siphon tube is present. (This is indicated on the label at the top of the cylinder.)

4.Due to differences in the refrigerant, pressure, and refrigerant oil involved in installation, it is not possible in some cases to use the same tools for R22 and for R410A.

For type 72

Balance tube

Use a flathead screwdriver and open by turning the part with the screw groove to the right, from “–” to “|”.

Liquid tube

Use a hex wrench (width 5/32 inch (4mm)) and turn to the left to

The figure 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.

Example: 2 units installation

*For other installation, follow the standards of combination installation.

 

Wall height: Less than 1.7ft. (500mm)

Wall height:

Over 1 ft.(300mm)

Unlimited

* Over 2 in.

(50mm)

Over 2-3/8 in. (60mm)

* Over 2 in. (50mm)

Over 1.7ft. (500mm)

Wall height: Unlimited

Wall height: Less than 4.9 ft. (1500mm)

CAUTION

NOTE

Leave space open above the unit.

Construct louvers or other openings in the wall, if necessary, to ensure adequate ventilation.

Do not do any wiring or tubing within 1 ft. (300mm) of the front panel, because this space is needed as a servicing space for the compressor.

Ensure a base height of 4 in. (100mm) or more to ensure that drainage water does not accumulate and freeze around the bottom of the unit.

If installing a drain pan, install the drain pan prior to installing the outdoor unit.

*Make sure there is at least 6 in. (150mm) 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.

*When setting the anchor bolt to "B" or "C" (see page 20), 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 in. (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.

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 airdischarge outlet and a nearby obstacle.

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.

In regions with heavy snowfall,

CAUTION the outdoor unit should be provided with a solid, raised

platform and snow-proof ducting (field supply).

DO

The following problems may occur if proper countermeasures are not taken:

The fan in the outdoor unit may stop running, causing the unit to be damaged.

There may be no air flow.

The tubing may freeze and burst.

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.

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.

AVOID

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.
