This symbol refers to a hazard or 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
reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing…
…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.
…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
• 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.
WARNING
• 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.
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
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
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.
CAUTION
• 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.

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). In a room where the density may exceed the limit, create an opening with adjacent rooms, or install mechanical ventilation combined with a gas leak detection device. The density is as given below.
Total amount of refrigerant (oz)
Min. volume of the indoor unit installed room (ft.3)
<
Density limit (oz/ft.3)
The density limit of refrigerant which is used in multi air condi­tioners is 0.3 oz/ft.
NOTE
1. If there are 2 or more refrigerating systems in a single refrigerating device, the amount of refrigerant should be as charged in each independent device.
For the amount of charge in this example:
e.g., charged amount (353 oz)
Indoor unit
Room A Room B Room C Room D Room E Room F
The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in rooms A, B and C is 353 oz. The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in rooms D, E and F is 529 oz.

(ISO 5149).
Outdoor unit
e.g., charged amount (529 oz)
2. The standards for minimum room volume are as fol­lows.
(1) No partition (shaded portion)
(2) When there is an effective opening with the adjacent
room for ventilation of leaking refrigerant gas (opening without a door, or an opening 0.15% or larger than the respective floor spaces at the top or bottom of the door).

Refrigerant tubing
Indoor unit
(3) If an indoor unit is installed in each partitioned room
and the refrigerant tubing is interconnected, the smallest room of course becomes the object. But when mechanical ventilation is installed interlocked with a gas leakage detector in the smallest room where the density limit is exceeded, the volume of the next smallest room becomes the object.

Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant
1. Care regarding tubing
1-1. Process tubing
Material: Use C1220 phosphorous deoxidized copper specified in JIS H3300 “Copper and Copper Alloy Seamless
Pipes and Tubes.”
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
CAUTION

Outer diameter 1/4 (6.35) 3/8 (9.52) 1/2 (12.7) 5/8 (15.88) 3/4 (19.05)
Wall thickness 1/32 (0.8) 1/32 (0.8) 1/32 (0.8) 5/128 (1.0) 5/128 (1.0)
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.
caps or tape to prevent dirt, moisture, or other foreign substances from entering. These substances can result in system malfunction.
Unit: in. (mm)
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 of 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.

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.

WARNING
Always check the gas density limit for the room in which the unit is installed.
Minimum indoor volume & floor area as against the amount of refrigerant is roughly as given in the following table.
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.
If the density could exceed the limit level, it is necessary to provide an opening between the unit and the adjacent room, or to install mechanical ventilation which is inter­locked with the leak detector.

The limit density of refrigerant which is used in this unit is
0.3 oz/ft.3(ISO 5149).
The shipped outdoor unit comes charged with the amount of refrigerant fixed for each type, so add it to the amount that is charged in the field. (For the refrigerant charge amount at shipment, refer to the unit’s nameplate.)
CAUTION
Pay special attention to any location, such as a basement, etc., where leaking refrigerant can accumulate, since refrig­erant gas is heavier than air.

1-11. Installing Distribution Joint
(1) Refer to “HOW TO ATTACH DISTRIBUTION JOINT”
enclosed with the optional distribution joint kit (APR-P160BA).
(2) In order to prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in
stopped units, if the main tubing is horizontal then each branch tubing length should be at an angle that is greater than horizontal. 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. of the distribution joint.) (Consult with SANYO separately concerning the ball valve.)
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.)

1-13. Example of Tubing Size Selection and Refrigerant Charge Amount
Additional refrigerant charging
Based on the values in Tables 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 and 1-7, use the liquid tubing size and length, and calculate the amount of additional refrigerant charge using the formula below.
Required additional refrigerant charge (oz)
= 0.602 × (a) + 0.279 × (b)
(a): Liquid tubing Total length of ø3/8" (ft.) (b): Liquid tubing Total length of ø1/4" (ft.)
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.) 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.
Tightening torque for valve stem cap: 160 – 180 lbs · in.
Tightening torque: 300 – 360 lbs
CAUTION
1. R410A additional charging absolutely must be done through liquid charging.
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.

Note that the charge amounts per 3.3 ft. are different for each liquid tubing size. ø3/8" (ø9.52) → LA + LB + LC + LD : 212 ft. × 0.602 oz/ft. = 127 oz ø1/4" (ø6.35) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 : 75 ft. × 0.279 oz/ft. = 20 oz
Total 147 oz
Additional refrigerant charge amount is 147 oz.
model 1852
CAUTION
Be sure to check the limit density for the room in which the indoor unit is installed.
Checking of limit density
Density limit is determined on the basis of the size of a room using an indoor unit of minimum capacity. For instance, when an indoor unit is used in a room (floor area
2
× ceiling height 8.8 ft. = room volume 704 ft.3), the
80 ft graph at right shows that the minimum room volume should be 497 ft.
3
(floor area 56 ft.2) for refrigerant of 147 oz. Accordingly, openings such as louvers are required for this room.
<Determination by calculation>
Overall refrigerant charge amount for the air conditioner: oz
(Minimum room volume for indoor unit: ft.3)
147 (oz) + 123 (oz)
=
704 (ft.

)
= 0.38 (oz/ft.

(4) Adjust so that the distance between the unit and the
ceiling bottom is 15/32 to 43/64 in. Tighten the nuts on the upper side and lower side of the suspension lug.
(5) Remove the protective polyethylene used to protect
the fan parts during transport.
3-4. Installing the Drain Piping
(1) Prepare a standard hard PVC pipe (O.D. 1-1/4 in.) for
the drain and use the supplied drain hose and hose band to prevent water leaks. The PVC pipe must be purchased separately. The unit’s transparent drain port allows you to check drainage. (Fig. 3-6)
CAUTION
Insert the drain pipe until it contacts the socket, as
shown in Fig. 3-6, then secure it tightly with the hose band.
Do not use adhesive when connecting the supplied
hose.
Reasons: 1. It may cause water to leak from the
connection. Since the connection is slippery just after the adhesive has been applied, the pipe easily slips off.
2. The pipe cannot be removed when maintenance is needed.
Do not bend the supplied drain hose 90° or more.
The hose may slip off.
Align the hose bands with the end of the hose.
Tighten the hose band firmly. Please make sure that the bead is not covered by the hose band. (Fig. 3-6)

CAUTION
In cases where it is necessary to raise the height
of the drain piping, the drain piping can be raised to a maximum height of 33-15/32" above the bottom surface of the ceiling. Under no conditions attempt to raise it higher than 33-15/32" above the bottom surface of the ceiling. Doing so will result in water leakage. (Fig. 3-9)
Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient
from the connection port. This will cause the drain water to flow backward and leak when the unit is not operating. (Fig. 3-10)
Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side
when connecting the drain pipe. The pipe should not be allowed to hang unsupported from its connection to the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame, or other support as close to the unit as possible. (Fig. 3-11)
Provide insulation for any pipes that are run
indoors.
3-5. Checking the Drainage
After wiring and drain piping are completed, use the following procedure to check that the water will drain smoothly. For this, prepare a bucket and wiping cloth to catch and wipe up spilled water.
(1) Connect power to the power terminal board (R, S
terminals) inside the electrical component box.

3-15. Suspending the Indoor Unit
Depending on the ceiling type:
• Insert suspension bolts as shown in Fig. 3-63
or
• Use existing ceiling supports or construct a suitable support as shown in Fig. 3-64.
WARNING
It is important that you use extreme care in supporting the indoor unit inside the ceiling. Ensure that the ceiling is strong enough to support the weight of the unit. Before hanging the unit, test the strength of each attached suspension bolt.
(1) When placing the unit inside the ceiling, determine the pitch of
the suspension bolts referring to the dimensional data on the previous page. (Fig. 3-61 and Table 3-3) Tubing must be laid and connected inside the ceiling when suspending the unit. If the ceiling is already constructed, lay the tubing into position for connection to the unit before placing the unit inside the ceiling.
(2) Screw in the suspension bolts allowing them to protrude from
the ceiling as shown in Fig. 3-63. (Cut the ceiling material, if necessary.)

3-16. Installing the Drain Piping
(1) Prepare standard hard PVC pipe (O.D. 1-1/4") for the drain
and use the supplied hose band to prevent water leaks. The PVC pipe must be purchased separately. The transparent drain part on the unit allows you to check drainage. (Fig. 3-68)
CAUTION
Do not use adhesive at the drain connection port on the
indoor unit.
Insert the drain pipe until it contacts the socket, as shown in
U
the figure at right, then secure it tightly with the hose band.
Do not use the supplied drain hose bent at a 90° angle.
(The maximum permissible bend is 45°.)
Tighten the hose clamps so their locking nuts face upward.
(FIg. 3-68)
(2) After connecting the drain piping securely, wrap the supplied
packing and drain pipe insulator around the pipe, then secure it with the supplied vinyl clamps. (Fig. 3-69)
NOTE
Align the hose band with end of the hose, and tighten so that it does not contact the bead.

Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100 or more) and that there are no water traps.
CAUTION
Do not install an air bleeder as this may
cause water to spray from the drain pipe outlet. (Fig. 3-70)
If it is necessary to increase the height of the drain pipe, the
section directly after the connection port can be raised a maximum of 19-11/16". Do not raise it any higher than 19-11/16", as this could result in water leaks. (Fig. 3-71)
Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient from the connec-
tion port. This will cause the drain water to flow backward and leak when the unit is not operating. (Fig. 3-72)
Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when connecting
the drain pipe. The pipe should not be allowed to hang unsupport­ed from its connection to the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame, or other support as close to the unit as possible. (Fig. 3-73)
3-17. Checking the Drainage
After wiring and drain piping are completed, use the following proce­dure to check that the water will drain smoothly. For this, prepare a bucket and wiping cloth to catch and wipe up spilled water.

Support pieces
(1) Connect power to the power terminal board (R, S terminals)
inside the electrical component box.
(2) Remove the tube cover and through the opening, slowly pour
about 0.3 gal of water into the drain pan to check drainage.
(3) Short the check pin (CHK) on the indoor control board and oper-
ate the drain pump. Check the water flow through the transparent drain port and see if there is any leakage.
42

CAUTION
Be careful since the fan will start when you short the pin on the indoor control board.
(4) When the check of drainage is complete, open the check pin (CHK)
and remount the insulator and drain cap onto the drain inspection port.
3-18. Increasing the Fan Speed
If external static pressure is too great (due to long extension of ducts, for example), the air flow volume may drop too low at each air outlet. This problem may be solved by increasing the fan speed using the following procedure:
(1) Remove 4 screws on the electrical component box and
remove the cover plate.
Power supply outlet
Inter-unit control wiring
(2) Disconnect the fan motor sockets in the box.
(3) Take out the booster cable (sockets at both ends)
clamped in the box.
(4) Securely connect the booster cable sockets between the
disconnected fan motor sockets in step 2 as shown in Fig. 3-75.
(5) Place the cable neatly in the box and reinstall the cover
plate.

How to read the diagram
The vertical axis is the external static pressure (in.WG) while the horizontal axis represents the air flow (CFM). The characteristic curves for “HT,” “H,” “M” and “L” fan speed control are shown. The nameplate values are shown based on the “H” air flow. For the 24 type, the air flow is 635 CFM, while the external static pressure is
0.20 in.WG at “H” position. If external static pressure is too great (due to long extension of ducts, for example), the air flow volume may drop too low at each air outlet. This problem may be solved by increasing the fan speed as explained above.

(3) After connecting the drain pipe securely, wrap insulator
(field supply) around the pipe.
(4) Ensure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100
or more) and prepare traps as indicated in Fig. 3-84.
(5) Also, in another part of the pipe arrangement, prepare
traps with an inspection plug to clean dust or debris that may cause leaking of water. (Fig. 3-85)
(6) After connecting the drain piping, slowly pour water into
the drain pan to check that the water drains smoothly.
3-22. Caution for Ducting Work
This unit has high static pressure (applicable external static
pressure Max. 0.68 – 0.88 in.WG. In the case of small pressure resistance (for instance, a short duct), install a damper for adjusting air flow volume as air flow volume / air flow noise increases.
If the air conditioner is to be installed in a room such as
an office or meeting room which needs a low sound level, provide a supply and return noise absorption chamber with an acoustic liner.
Include an air filter (field supply) at the return duct.

3-28. Installing the Drain Piping
Prepare standard PVC pipe for the drain and connect it to the
indoor unit drain pipe with the supplied hose clamps to prevent water leaks.
(1) Drain hose connection
The drain hose is connected below the refrigerant tubing.
(2) Installing the drain hose
To install the drain hose, first place 1 of the 2 hose bands over the
unit drain port and the other hose band over the hard PVC pipe (not supplied). Then connect both ends of the supplied drain hose.
On the unit drain side, grasp the hose band with pliers and insert
the drain hose all the way to the base.
If other commercially available hose bands are used, the drain
hose may become pinched or wrinkled and there is danger of water leakage. Therefore be sure to use the supplied hose bands. When sliding the hose bands, be careful to avoid scratching the drain hose.
Do not use adhesive when connecting the supplied drain hose to
the drain port (either on the main unit or the PVC pipe).
Wrap the hose with the supplied drain hose insulation and use the
4 twist ties so that the hose is insulated with no gaps.
Connect the drain piping so that it slopes downward from the unit
to the outside. (Fig. 3-107)
CAUTION
Attach so that the hose band fastener is
on the side of the drain port. (Fig. 3-108)
Attach the hose bands so that each is
approximately 13/64 – 63/64 in. from the end of the supplied drain hose.

5. ELECTRICAL WIRING
5-1. General Precautions on Wiring
(1) Before wiring, confirm the rated voltage of the unit
as shown on its nameplate, then carry out the
wiring closely following the wiring diagram.
(2) Provide a power outlet to be used exclusively for
each unit, and a power supply disconnect and
circuit breaker for overcurrent protection should be
provided in the exclusive line.
(3) To prevent possible hazards from insulation
failure, the unit must be grounded.
(4) Each wiring connection must be done in accor-
dance with the wiring system diagram. Wrong
wiring may cause the unit to misoperate or
become damaged.
(5) Do not allow wiring to touch the refrigerant tubing,
compressor, or any moving parts of the fan.
(6) Unauthorized changes in the internal wiring can be
very dangerous. The manufacturer will accept no
responsibility for any damage or misoperation that
occurs as a result of such unauthorized changes.
(7) Regulations on wire diameters differ from locality
to locality. For field wiring rules, please refer to your LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES before begin­ning.
You must ensure that installation complies with all relevant rules and regulations.
(8) To prevent malfunction of the air conditioner
caused by electrical noise, care must be taken when wiring as follows:
The remote control wiring and the inter-unit control
wiring should be wired apart from the inter-unit power wiring.
Use shielded wires for inter-unit control wiring
between units and ground the shield on both sides.
(9) If the power supply cord of this appliance is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, because special purpose tools are required.

6. HOW TO PROCESS TUBING
Deburring
6-1. Connecting the Refrigerant Tubing
Use of the Flaring Method
Many of conventional split system air conditioners employ the flaring method to connect refrigerant tubes which run between indoor and outdoor units. In this method, the copper tubes are flared at each end and connected with flare nuts.
Flaring Procedure with a Flare Tool
(1) Cut the copper tube to the required length with a
tube cutter. It is recommended to cut approx. 1 – 2 ft. longer than the tubing length you estimate.
(2) Remove burrs at the end of the copper tube with a
tube reamer or file. This process is important and should be done carefully to make a good flare. (Fig. 6-1)
NOTE
When reaming, hold the tube end downward and be sure that no copper scraps fall into the tube. (Fig. 6-2)
(3) Remove the flare nut from the unit and be sure to
mount it on the copper tube.

” or equivalent.)
NOTE
A good flare should have the following characteristics:
inside surface is glossy and smooth
edge is smooth
tapered sides are of uniform length

Page 62
Caution Before Connecting Tubes Tightly
(1) Apply a sealing cap or water-proof tape to prevent dust or
water from entering the tubes before they are used.
(2) Be sure to apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching
surfaces of the flare and union before connecting them together. This is effective for reducing gas leaks. (Fig. 6-4)
(3) For proper connection, align the union tube and flare tube
straight with each other, then screw in the flare nut lightly at first to obtain a smooth match. (Fig. 6-5)
Adjust the shape of the liquid tube using a tube bender at
the installation site and connect it to the liquid tubing side
valve using a flare.
Cautions During Brazing
Replace air inside the tube with nitrogen gas to
prevent copper oxide film from forming during the
brazing process. (Oxygen, carbon dioxide and Freon
are not acceptable.)
Do not allow the tubing to get too hot during brazing.
The nitrogen gas inside the tubing may overheat,
causing refrigerant system valves to become dam-
aged. Therefore allow the tubing to cool when brazing.
Use a reducing valve for the nitrogen cylinder.
Do not use agents intended to prevent the formation
of oxide film. These agents adversely affect the
refrigerant and refrigerant oil, and may cause damage
or malfunctions.
6-2. Connecting Tubing Between Indoor and Outdoor
Units
(1) Tightly connect the indoor-side refrigerant tubing extended
from the wall with the outdoor-side tubing.
(2) To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque as at right:
When removing the flare nuts from the tubing connections,
or when tightening them after connecting the tubing, be sure to use 2 monkey wrenches or spanners as shown. (Fig. 6-6) If the flare nuts are over-tightened, the flare may be dam­aged, which could result refrigerant leakage and cause in injury or asphyxiation to room occupants.
For the flare nuts at tubing connections, be sure to use the
flare nuts that were supplied with the unit, or else flare nuts for R410A (type 2). The refrigerant tubing that is used must be of the correct wall thickness as shown in the table at right.

Because the pressure is approximately 1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant pressure, the use of ordinary flare nuts (type 1) or thin-walled tubes may result in tube rupture, injury, or asphyxiation caused by refrigerant leakage.
In order to prevent damage to the flare caused by
over-tightening of the flare nuts, use the table above as a guide when tightening.
When tightening the flare nut on the liquid tube,
use a monkey wrench with a nominal handle length of 7-7/8 in.

6-3. Insulating the Refrigerant Tubing
Tubing Insulation
Thermal insulation must be applied to all unit tubing,
including distribution joint (purchased separately).
* For gas tubing, the insulation material must be heat
resistant to 248°F or above. For other tubing, it must
be heat resistant to 176°F or above. Insulation material thickness must be 25/64" or greater. If the conditions inside the ceiling exceed DB 86°F and
RH 70%, increase the thickness of the gas tubing insulation material by 1 step.

CAUTION
If the exterior of the outdoor unit valves has been finished with a square duct covering, make sure you allow sufficient space to use the valves and to allow the panels to be attached and removed.
Wind the white insulation tape around the flare nuts at the gas tube connections. Then cover up the tubing connections with the flare insulator, and fill the gap at the union with the supplied black insulation tape. Finally, fasten the insulator at both ends with the supplied vinyl clamps. (Fig. 6-8)
Insulation material
The material used for insulation must have good insulation characteristics, be easy to use, be age resistant, and must not easily absorb moisture.
CAUTION
After a tube has been insulated, never try to bend it into a narrow curve because it can cause the tube to break or crack.

6-4. Taping the Tubes
NOTE
g
(1) At this time, the refrigerant tubes (and electrical
wiring if local codes permit) should be taped together with armoring tape in 1 bundle. To prevent the condensation from overflowing the drain pan, keep the drain hose separate from the refrigerant tubing.
(2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the
outdoor unit to the top of the tubing where it enters the wall. As you wrap the tubing, overlap half of each previous tape turn.
(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to the wall, using 1 clamp
approx. each ft. (Fig. 6-10)
Insulated tubes
Clamp
Drain hose
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly since this will decrease the heat insulation effect. Also ensure that the condensation drain hose splits away from the bundle and drips clear of the unit and the tubing.
6-5. Finishing the Installation
After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent rain and draft from entering. (Fig. 6-11)

7. AIR PURGING
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system may have undesirable effects as indicated below.
pressure in the system risesoperating current risescooling (or heating) efficiency dropsmoisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block
capillary tubing
water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant
system
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit must be leak tested and evacuated to remove any noncondensables and moisture from the system.
Air Purging with a Vacuum Pump (for Test Run)
Preparation
Check that each tube (both liquid and gas tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units has been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the valve caps from both the gas tube and liquid tube service valves on the outdoor unit. Note that both liquid and gas tube service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.

Leak test
(1) Attach a manifold valve (with pressure gauges) and dry
nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge hoses.
CAUTION
Use a manifold valve for air purging. If it is not available, use a stop valve for this purpose. The “Hi” knob of the manifold valve must always be kept closed.
(2) Pressurize the system to no more than
2
512 psig (36 kgf/cm
G) with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reaches 512 psig (36 kgf/cm
2
G). Then, test for leaks with liquid soap.
CAUTION
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be higher than the bottom when you pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position. (Refer to the previous page.)

outdoor) and both gas tube and liquid tube service valves. Bubbles indicate a leak. Wipe off the soap with a clean cloth after the leak test.
(4) After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve the
nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder. When the system pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from the cylinder.
Evacuation
(1) Attach the charge hose end described in the preceding
steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and indoor unit. Confirm that the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve is open. Then, run the vacuum pump. The operation time for evacuation varies with the tubing length and capacity of the pump. The following table shows the amount of time for evacuation:

45 min. or more 90 min. or more
The required time in the above table is calculated based on the assumption that the ideal (or target) vacuum condition is less than –14.7 psig (–755 mmHg, 5 Torr).
(2) When the desired vacuum is reached, close the “Lo”
knob of the manifold valve and turn off the vacuum pump. Confirm that the gauge pressure is under –14.7 psig (–755 mmHg, 5 Torr) after 4 to 5 minutes of vacuum pump operation.

Charging additional refrigerant
Charging additional refrigerant (calculated from the
liquid tube length as shown in Section 1-7 “Additional Refrigerant Charge”) using the liquid tube service valve. (Fig. 7-5)
Use a balance to measure the refrigerant accurately.
If the additional refrigerant charge amount cannot
be charged at once, charge the remaining refrigerant in liquid form by using the gas tube service valve with the system in cooling operation mode at the time of test run. (Fig. 7-6)
Finishing the job
(1) With a hex wrench, turn the liquid tube service
valve stem counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
(2) Turn the gas tube service valve stem
counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
CAUTION
To avoid gas from leaking when removing the charge hose, make sure the stem of the gas tube is turned all the way out (“BACK SEAT” position).

(3) Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas
tube service port (for ø5/16" tube) slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.
(4) Replace the service port cap on the gas tube
service port and fasten the cap securely with an monkey spanner or box wrench. This process is very important to prevent gas from leaking from the system.
(5) Replace the valve caps at both gas tube and liquid
tube service valves and fasten them securely.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump. The air conditioner is now ready for a test run.

8-5. Caution for Pump Down
Pump down means refrigerant gas in the system is returned to the outdoor unit. Pump down is used when the unit is to be moved, or before servicing the refrigerant circuit.
CAUTION
This outdoor unit cannot collect more than the rated refrigerant amount as shown
by the nameplate on the back.
If the amount of refrigerant is more than that recommended, do not conduct pump
down. In this case use another refrigerant collecting system.

CAUTION
The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and should be cleaned at regular intervals as indicated in the table below or when the filter indication ( ) on the display of the remote control unit (wired type) shows that the filter needs cleaning. If the filter gets blocked, the efficiency of the air conditioner drops greatly.
NOTE
The frequency with which the filter should be cleaned depends on the environment in which the unit is used.
1. Remove the air filter from the air intake grille.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust. If there is sticky dust on the filter, wash the fil-
ter in lukewarm, soapy water, rinse it in clean water, and dry it.
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the bolt screw on each side for the two latches. (Be sure to
reattach the two bolt screws after cleaning.)
2. Press on the two latches of the air intake grille with your thumbs in the direction of the
arrow to open the grille.
3. Open the air intake grille downward.
When cleaning the air filter, never remove the safety chain. If it is necessary to remove it
for servicing and maintenance inside, be sure to reinstall the safety chain securely (hook on the grille side) after the work.
When the filter has been removed, rotating parts (such as the fan), electrically charged
areas, etc. will be exposed in the unit’s opening. Bear in mind the dangers that these parts and areas pose, and proceed with the work carefully.

Tips for Energy Saving
NOTE
Should the power fail while the unit is running
If the power supply for this unit is temporarily cut off, the unit will automatically resume operation once power is restored using the same settings before the power was interrupted.
Avoid
Do
• Do not block the air intake and outlet of the unit. If either is obstructed, the unit will not work well, and may be damaged.
• Do not let direct sunlight into the room. Use sunshades, blinds or curtains. If the walls and ceiling of the room are warmed by the sun, it will take longer to cool the room.
• Always try to keep the air filter clean. (Refer to “Care and Cleaning.”) A clogged filter will impair the performance of the unit.
• To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows, doors and any other openings closed.
