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

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).

(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

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.

Limit density 0.3 (oz/ft.3)
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.

) > 0.3 (oz/ft.3)
Therefore, openings such as louvers are required for this room.

(3) Thread the 3 hexagonal nuts and 2 washers (field
supply) onto each of the 4 suspension bolts as shown in Fig. 3-5. Use 1 nut and 1 washer for the upper side, and 2 nuts and 1 washer for the lower side, so that the unit will not fall off the suspension lugs.
(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
Tighten the hose clamps so their locking nuts face upward. (Fig. 3-6)
(2) After checking the drainage, wrap the supplied packing
and drain pipe insulator around the pipe. (Fig. 3-7)
NOTE
Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100 or more) and that there are no water traps.

CAUTION
Fig. 3-8
Do not install an air bleeder
as this may cause water to spray from the drain pipe outlet. (Fig. 3-8)
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.
11-3/16 in. or less (as short as possible)
33-15/32 in. or less
0 – 45°

Drainage check
(2) Slowly pour about 0.3 gal of water into the drain pan
to check drainage. (Fig. 3-12)
(3) Short the check pin (CHK) on the indoor control
board and operate the drain pump. Check the water flow through the transparent drain pipe and see if there is any leakage.
(4) When the check of drainage is complete, open the
check pin (CHK) and remount the tube cover.
CAUTION
Be careful since the fan will start when you short the pin on the indoor control board.
Over 3-15/16 in.
