SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
When Wiring
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.
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 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.
• 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).
ASHRAE and the International Mechanical Code of the
ICC as well as CSA provide guidance and define safeguards related to the use of refrigerants, all of which define
a Refrigerant Concentration Level (RCL) of 25 pounds
per 1,000 cubic feet for R410A refrigerant.
For additional guidance and precautions related to
refrigerant safety, please refer to the following documents:

CAUTION
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.”
For tubes of ø7/8" (ø22.22 mm) or larger, use C1220 T-1/2H material or H material, and do not bend the 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 caps or tape to
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 refriger-
ant 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 refriger-
ant 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.
ItemcompatibleRemarkswith R410A?
Manifold gauge Yes No Types of refrigerant, refrigerating machine
oil, and pressure gauge are different.
Charge hose Yes No To resist higher pressure, material must be changed.
Vacuum pump Yes Yes Use a conventional vacuum pump if it is equipped
with a check valve. If it has no check valve,
purchase and attach a vacuum pump adapter.
Leak detector Yes No Leak detectors for CFC and HCFC that
react to chlorine do not function because
R410A contains no chlorine. Leak detector
for HFC134a can be used for R410A.
Flaring oil Yes No For systems that use R22, apply mineral oil (Suniso oil)
to the flare nuts on the tubing to prevent refrigerant
leakage. For machines that use R407C or R410A, apply
synthetic oil (ether oil) to the flare nuts.
R407Ctools
Manifold gauge
* Using tools for R22 and R407C and new tools for R410A together can cause defects.

3-2. Use R410A exclusive cylinder only.
New refrigerant R410A cannot be used for
earlier models
1. Compressor specifications are different.
If recharging a R22 or R407C compressor with R410A,
durability will significantly decrease since some of the
materials used for compressor parts are different.
2. Existing tubing cannot be used (especially R22).
Completely cleaning out residual refrigerating
machine oil is impossible, even by flushing.
Valve
Single-outlet valve
(with siphon tube)
Liquid refrigerant should be recharged
with the cylinder standing on end as
shown.
Liquid
3. Refrigerating machine oil differs (R22).
Since R22 refrigerating machine oil is mineral oil, it
does not dissolve in R410A. Therefore, refrigerating
machine oil discharged from the compressor can cause
compressor damage.

1-10. Installation Standards
Relationship between A/C units and refrigerant tubing
●
Install the solenoid valve kit 98 ft. or less from the indoor unit.
●
In quiet locations such as hospitals, libraries, and hotel rooms, the refrigerant noise may be somewhat notice-
able. It is recommended that the solenoid valve kit be installed inside the corridor ceiling, at a location outside
the room.

Undesirable
Common solenoid valve kit
●
Multiple indoor units under group control can utilize a solenoid valve kit in common.
●
Categories of connected indoor unit capacities are determined by the solenoid valve kit.

1-11. 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.
1-12. Installing Distribution Joint
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
(APR-CHRZP900BAB, RZP224BAB, RZP680BAB,
RZP1350BAB).
(2) When creating a branch using a commercially available
T-joint (header joint system), orient the main tubing so
that it is either horizontal (level) or vertical. In order to
prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in stopped units,
if the main tubing is horizontal 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.

Solidly welded
shut (X)
[Header joint system]
●
Be sure to solidly weld shut the T-joint end (marked
by “X” in the figure). In addition, pay attention to the
insertion depth of each connected tube so that the
flow of refrigerant within the T-joint is not impeded.
●
When using the header joint system, do not make fur-
ther branches in the tubing.
●
Do not use the header joint system on the outdoor
unit side.
(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 15 - 3/4" of the distribution joint.)
If a trap or ball valve is not added, do not operate the
system before repairs to a malfunctioning unit are
completed. (The refrigerant oil sent through the tub-
ing to the malfunctioning unit will accumulate and
may damage the compressor.)

*Insulators for both the Suction tube and the Discharge tube are the same.
*Suction tube and Discharge tube are similar in sizes and both the tube entrances have the same diameter. So the both

NOTE
Notes on Installation
• Be sure to secure the valve body by using its structure with the suspension bolt, etc.
• Install the valve body within a distance of 98 ft. from the indoor unit.
Some refrigerant noise will be produced. Therefore in hospitals, libraries, hotel guest rooms, and other quiet
locations, it is recommended that the solenoid valve kit be installed on the ceiling reverse side of a hallway or
another location separated from the room.
• When installing the valve body, install with the top surface facing up. Secure 7-7/8" or more of space to the front
so that the front service panel can be removed.
• If the supplied suspension hook will not be used, and other fastening devices will be attached in the field, use
the 4 screw holes on the top surface. DO NOT use any long screws other than the supplied screws. Use of other
screws may puncture the internal tubing, resulting in refrigerant leakage.
• Do not block the air holes.
