IMPORTANT! Please Read Before Starting
This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operating standards. As the installer or service person, it is an important part of your job to install or service the system so it operates safely and efficiently.
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.
Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices given in this manual.
This symbol refers to a hazard or 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
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.
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…
…In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support.
…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
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• 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 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.
Others
• 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 upon completing installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can produce dangerously toxic gas.

3. How to Install the Indoor Unit
3-1. Remove the Rear Panel from the Unit
(1) Remove and discard the set screw on the rear panel.
(Fig. 6)
(2) Press the 2 marks on the frame cover and disengage
the stationary tabs from the frame. (Fig. 7a)
(3) Remove the rear panel by grasping the sections shown
in Fig. 7b and pulling it in the direction shown by the arrow.
Tubing can be extended in 6 directions as shown in Fig. 8. Select the direction you need providing the shortest run to the outside unit.
When left tubing is to be done, switch the drain hose and
drain cap. (For details, refer to “Switching drain hose and drain cap” on page 20.)
3-2. Make a Hole
(1) Place the rear panel from the indoor unit on the wall at
the location selected. Make sure the panel is horizontal, using a carpenter’s level or tape measure to measure down from the ceiling. Wait until after cutting the hole before attaching the rear panel to the wall.
(2) Determine which side of the unit you should make the
hole for tubing and wiring. (Fig. 9)
In the case of left-rear tubing, use the measurement points 6-7/32" (158 mm) from the marked position on the rear panel for precise placement of the hose outlet. (Fig. 9)
(3) Before making the hole, check carefully that no studs or
pipes are directly run behind the spot to be cut.
The above precautions are also applicable if tubing goes through the wall in any other location.
Fig. 9
CAUTION
Also avoid areas where elec­trical wiring or conduits are located.

3-3. Install the Rear Panel on the Wall
Be sure to confirm that the wall is strong enough to sus­pend the unit.
There are a number of screw holes on the rear panel. Using the 8 screw holes with mark is recommended to attach the rear panel securely to the wall.
See either Item a) or b) below depending on the wall type.
a) If Wooden Wall
(1) Attach the rear panel to the wall with the 8 screws
provided. (Fig. 13)
If you are not able to line up the holes in the rear panel with the beam locations marked on the wall, use rawl plugs or toggle bolts to go through the holes on the panel or drill 3/16" (5 mm) dia. holes in the panel over the stud locations and then mount the rear panel.
(2) Double check with a carpenter’s level or tape mea-
sure that the panel is level.This is important to install the unit properly. (Fig. 14)
(3) Make sure the panel is flush against the wall. Any
space between the wall and unit will cause noise and vibration.
b) If Block, Brick, Concrete or Similar Type Wall

How to remove the grille
(1) Open the front panel until it is nearly horizontal, grasp
the sections near the front panel arms on both sides, and then remove the panel by pushing the arms towards the outside while pulling the panel towards you. If the front panel is difficult to remove, grasp both ends of it and lift it up slightly. Move it to the left and disengage the left arm, then move it to the right and disengage the right arm. (Fig. 16)
(2) Lift the anti-mold filter up slightly to disengage it from
the protrusions on the unit, and then pull downward to remove the filter from the unit. (Fig. 16)
(3) Remove the 3 screws from the front of the unit and
remove the screw covers on the bottom surface. Then remove the 2 screws. (Fig. 17)
(4) Remove the screw on the right side cover plate and
remove the cover. (Fig. 17a)
(5) Remove the lower flap by disengaging 4 pins of the
lower flap in order. (Figs. 17b and 17c) (The flap is so flexible that it can be easily removed.)
(6) Lift up the grille in the direction shown by the arrow
and pull the grille towards you to remove it. (Fig. 17d)
How to replace the grille
(1) While aligning the top edge of the grille with the
frame, move the grille horizontally and insert the top and bottom into the frame.
(2) Press the grille firmly with your hand to ensure no gap
exists between the frame and grille.
(3) Tighten the 6 screws. And fix the removed covers in
place.
(4) Grasp the sections near the front panel arms on both
sides, and hold the front panel so that it is nearly hori­zontal. Push the arm shafts towards the outside so that they come into contact with the top of the inden­tations on the right and left sides of the air condition­er.Then push firmly until the arm shafts click into place. (Fig. 18)
(5) Remount the lower flap.
(In remounting the flap, it cannot be turned end for end because the right and left pins of the flap differ in form. (Fig. 17c))
(6) Insert the top of the anti-mold filter, and then secure
the bottom of the filter with the protrusions on the unit.
(7) When closing the front panel, push the central part of
the front panel first and then press the bottom right and left corners in place until you feel a click. (Fig. 19)

4. How to Install the Outdoor Unit
First refer to Section 2. Installation Site Selection.
4-1. Wiring Instructions for the Outdoor Unit
Regulations on wire size differ from locality to locality. For field wiring requirements, please refer to your local elec­trical codes. Make sure that the installation fully complies with all local and national regulations.
(1) Remove the 3 screws from the inspection panel.
(Fig. 46a) Remove the inspection panel by sliding it downward and pulling it toward you. (Fig. 46b)
(2) Connect the inter-unit and power supply line accord-
ing to the wiring system diagram on the inspection panel. (Fig. 46c)
(3) When connections are completed, check that all
connections are correct as shown in the wiring sys­tem diagram.
(4) Be sure to ground the unit according to your local
codes.
4-2. Routing the Tubing and Wiring
The tubing and wiring can be extended out in 3 direc-
tions: front, rear, and right. Use a nipper or similar tool to cut out the knockout holes for the inter-unit control wiring outlet, power wiring outlet, and tubing outlet from the appropriate covers A and B. (Fig. 46d)
Route the tubing so that it does not contact the
compressor, panel, or other parts inside the unit. Increased noise will result if the tubing contacts these parts.
When routing the tubing, use a tube bender to
bend the tubes.

5. Refrigerant Tubing
5-1. Use of the Flaring Method
Many of the 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.
5-2. 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. 12" to 20" (30 to 50 cm) 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. 47)
When reaming, hold the tube end downward and be sure that no copper scraps fall into the tube. (Fig. 48)
(3) Remove the flare nut from the unit and be sure to
mount it on the copper tube.
(4) Make a flare at the end of copper tube with a flare
tool.* (Figs. 49a and 49b)
(*Use “RIDGID” or equivalent.)
A good flare should have the following characteristics:
inside surface is glossy and smooth.
edge is smooth.
tapered sides are of uniform length.
5-3. Caution before Connecting Tubes Tightly
a) Be sure to apply a sealing cap or water-proof tape
to prevent dust or water from getting into the tubes before they are used.
b) Be sure to apply refrigerant lubricant to the match-
ing surfaces of the flare and union before connect­ing them together.This is effective for reducing gas leaks. (Fig. 50)
c) 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. 51)

5-4. Connecting Tubing between Indoor and
Outdoor Units
a) Tightly connect the indoor side refrigerant tubing exten-
ded from the wall with the outdoor side tubing. (Fig. 52)
b) To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque as:
Table 6
5-5. Insulation of Refrigerant Tubing
To prevent heat loss and wet floors due to dripping of con­densation, both tubes must be well insulated with a proper insulation material. (Fig. 53) The thickness of the insulation should be a minimum 5/16" (8 mm). (Fig. 54)
5-6. Taping the Tubes
(1) At this time, the 2 refrigerant tubes (and electrical wire
if local codes permit) should be taped together with armoring tape. The drain hose may also be included and taped together as 1 bundle with the 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. (Fig. 55)
(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to wall, using 1 clamp approx.
every 47" (120 cm).
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly, since this will decrease the heat insulation effect. Also, be sure the con­densation drain hose splits away from the bundle and drips clear of the unit and the tubing.
5-7. 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. 56)

6. Air Purging
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below. Therefore, they must be purged completely.
pressure in the system rises
operating current rises
cooling (or heating) efficiency drops
moisture in the air may freeze and block capillary tubing
water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant
system
Air Purging with a Vacuum Pump (for Test Run)
(1) Check that each tube (both narrow and wide tubes)
between the indoor and outdoor units have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Note that both narrow and wide tube service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.
(2) Using an adjustable wrench or box wrench, remove
the valve caps from the service valve on both nar­row and wide tubes.
(3) Connect a vacuum pump and a manifold valve (with
pressure gauges) to the service port on the wide tube service valve. (Fig. 57)
(4) With the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve open, run
the vacuum pump.The operation time for the vacu­um pump varies with tubing length and the capacity of the pump. The following table shows the amount of time for evacuation:
Table 7
Fig. 57
CAUTION
Be sure to use a manifold valve for air purging. If it is not avail­able, use a stop valve (field sup­ply) for this purpose. The “Hi” knob of the manifold valve must always be kept closed.
The required time in Table 7 is calculated based on the assumption that the ideal (or target) vacuum condition is around 10 mmHg abs.
Required time for evacuation when
100 liter/h vacuum pump is used
If tubing length is If tubing length is
less than 33 ft. (10 m) more than 33 ft. (10 m)
10 min. or more 15 min. or more
CAUTION
The service port on the wide tube service valve uses a Schrader core valve to access the refrigerant sys­tem. The valve core is similar to those used in automobile tires. Therefore, be sure to use a vacuum hose connector which has a push­pin inside.
To prevent other refrigerants from being mistakenly charged to units which use R410A, the size of the charge port on the service valve is different from the one for other refrigerant types. For servicing such as recharging, the specified charging hose, manifold and vacuum pump adapter (with reverse flow prevention) for R410A must be used.

(6) With the hex wrench, turn the valve stem on the nar-
row tube service valve counter-clockwise by 90 degrees (1/4 turn) for 10 seconds, and then turn the stem clockwise to close it again. (Fig. 58)
(7) Leak test all joints at the tubing (both indoor and out-
doors) with soapy water. Bubbles indicate a leak. Tight­en the joint more when leaks, then check if there is no leak. Be sure to wipe off the soap with a clean cloth.
(8) With the hex wrench, turn the wide tube service
valve stem counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
(9) Turn the narrow tube service valve stem counter-
clockwise to fully open the valve.
(10) Loosen the vacuum hose connected to the wide
tube service port slightly to release the pressure. Then, remove the hose.
(11) Fasten the valve cap on the wide tube service port
securely with an adjustable wrench or box wrench. Next, mount the valve cap on the service valve and tighten it to 170 lbs·in (200 kgf·cm) with a torque wrench. This process is very important to prevent gas from leaking from the system.
(12) Test run the air conditioner. (See next page.)
(13) While the air conditioner is running, apply liquid
soap to check for any gas leaks around the service valves or caps.
(14) If there is no leakage, stop the air conditioner.
(15) Wipe off the soap on the tubing.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump and the air conditioner is ready for actual operation.
CAUTION
Be sure to completely insert the hex wrench before attempting to turn the valve.

How to Test Run the Air Conditioner
After turning on the power of the air conditioner, use the remote controller and follow the steps below to conduct the test run.
(1) Set the remote controller in Test Run mode.
(Fig. 59a)
a) Press and hold the QUIET button and the 1HR.
TIMER button.
b) Then press and hold the ACL (Reset) button with a
pointed object such as the tip of a pen. After 5 sec­onds, release the ACL button first.
c) Then release the QUIET and 1HR. TIMER buttons.
d) appears and “oP-1” blinks in the remote controller
clock display area. (Fig. 59b)
(2) Start Cooling mode test run by pressing the ON/OFF
operation button of the remote controller. (Fig. 59a)
• This starts the fan producing uncooled forced air with the 3 indicator lamps (OPERATION lamp, TIMER lamp, and LED CLEAN lamp) on the main unit blinking. (Fig. 59c)
• After 3 minutes, the system shifts into cooling opera­tion, and cool air will start to be felt. Cooling mode test run is unaffected by the room temperature.
(3) Press the ON/OFF operation button of the remote con-
troller again to stop the test run. (Fig. 59a)
(4) Finally press the ACL (Reset) button of the remote con-
troller to release it from Test Run mode to return to nor­mal mode. (Fig. 59a)
• “ ” and “oP-1” will disappear from the remote con­troller clock display area.
Troubleshooting: In the event that the green OPERATION lamp is blinking upon powering up the system, an error condition exists. In this case, refer to the self-diagnostics procedure on the inside of the front cover.
After the test run is completed, be sure to press the ACL (Reset) button to return to normal mode. The air conditioner will not operate correctly if this is not done.

Pump Down
Pump down means collecting all refrigerant gas in the system back into the outdoor unit without losing any of the gas. Pump down is used when the unit is to be moved or before servicing the refrigerant circuit.
Pump Down Procedure
Be sure to carry out pump down with the unit in cooling mode.
(1) Connect the Lo side charging hose of the manifold
valve to the service port on the wide tube service valve.
(2) Using a hex wrench, turn the narrow tube service
valve clockwise all the way to close the service valve. (Be sure to confirm that the wide tube service valve is fully open.)
(3) Press the operation button and start cooling oper-
ation.
(4) When the low pressure gauge reading falls to 14.2 to
7.1 psi (1 to 0.5 kg/cm
2
), fully close the wide tube
valve stem.Then quickly stop the unit.
(5) Disconnect all gauges and hoses, and replace the
valve caps as they were before.
Basic Functions of the Service Valves
The basic functions of the service valves are given in Table 8 below.
Table 8
* The service port on the wide tube ser-
vice valve uses a Schrader core valve to access the refrigerant system. Therefore, be sure to use a hose con­nector which has a push-pin inside. (Fig. 60a)

7. Remote Control Unit Installation Position
The remote control unit can be operated from either a non-fixed position or a wall-mounted position.
To ensure that the air conditioner operates correctly, do not install the remote control unit in the following places:
In direct sunlight
Behind a curtain or other place where it is covered
More than 26' (8 m) away from the air conditioner
In the path of the air conditioner’s airstream
Where it may become extremely hot or cold
Where it may be subject to electrical or magnetic
interference
Where there is an obstacle between the remote con-
trol unit and the air conditioner (since a check signal is sent from the remote control unit every 5 minutes)
7-1. Mounting on a Wall
Before mounting the remote control unit, press the ON/OFF operation button at the mounting location to make sure that the air conditioner operates from that location. The indoor unit should make a beeping sound to indicate that it has received the signal.

8. Address Switch
8-1. Address Setting of the Remote Control Unit
The address can be set in order to prevent interference between remote controllers when 2 indoor units are installed near each other.The address is normally set to “A.” To set a different address, it is necessary to change the address on the second remote controller.
Once changed, you cannot restore the original address setting of the air conditioner.
(1) Switch on the power source.
(2) Break the address-setting tab marked “A” on the
second remote controller to change the address (Fig. 62).When the tab is removed, the address is automatically set to B (Fig. 63).
(3) Press and hold the remote controller QUIET button
and 1HR. TIMER button. Then press and hold the ACL (Reset) button with a pointed object such as the tip of a pen. After 5 seconds, release the ACL button first, then release the QUIET and 1HR. TIMER buttons. “oP-1” (Test Run) appears, blinking in the remote controller clock display area.
(4) Each time the 1HR. TIMER button is pressed, the
display changes as shown below. Press this button 3 times to change the display to “oP-7” (Address setting). (Fig. 64)
(5) “oP-7” has now been selected for address setting.
(6) Press the ON/OFF operation button on the remote
controller. (Fig. 64) Check that the “beep”signal­received sound is heard from the second indoor unit (approximately 5 times). The sound you hear is the signal that the remote controller address has been changed.
(7) Finally press the remote controller ACL (Reset) but-
ton to cancel the blinking “oP-7” display. (Fig. 64)
Changing of the second remote controller address is now completed.
