WARNING
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.
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.
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.
Install a protective leakage breaker depending on the
installation location (especially a damp or humid
location). If a leakage breaker is not installed, electric
shock can occur.
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 (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
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
Tu rn 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.

Outdoor Unit GRF148MR5I
Insulation of Refrigerant Tubing
Because capillary tubing is used in the outdoor unit, both the
wide and narrow tubes of this air conditioner become cold. To
prevent heat loss and wet floors due to dripping of
condensation, both tubes must be well insulated with a
proper insulation material. The thickness of the insulation
should be a min. 8 mm.
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.

7. FUNCTIONS
7-1. Explanation of Functions
The numerical values such as temperature, frequency, time and current in parentheses are an example
of GRF318MR5I and the values are different from the other models.
Control/conditions
INITIAL
Breaker is ON.Power is supplied to the indoor and outdoor unit
control circuits, however the unit remains stopped.
Positioning of the outdoor unit electric expansion
valve is performed.
The ON/OFF operation
button on the remote
controller is pressed.
If automatic operation mode has been selected
with the remote controller, operation begins in
HEAT, SENSOR DRY, or COOL mode
depending on the room temperature and
outdoor temperature at the time operation starts.
Depending on the operational mode, refer to the HEAT, SENSOR DRY, or COOL item.
This applies in the case of automatic
HEAT/COOL operation.
HEAT
Unit operationExplanation
The ON/OFF operation
button on the remote
controller is pressed.
The unit is forced to stop for 3 minutes after
the power is turned ON, or 3 minutes after the
compressor stops, in order to protect the
compressor.
The frequency is increased at the rate of 1 Hz
every 0.5 seconds.
Operation lamp illuminates.
Indoor fan is stopped to prevent cold air from
being emitted.
Outdoor unit begins operating after
forced-stop is canceled.
This is in order to stabilize the return of oil to the
compressor.
When the frequency reaches Hz,frequency
increases are stopped for a period of seconds.
(Refor to Table 2 "Freguency control".)
If the indoor and outdoor temperatures are high,
the current peak cut-off activates, stopping any
increases in frequency.
The frequency then increases.
The thermostat turns
OFF.
The outdoor unit stops. (It does not stop if the
thermostat for another indoor unit is ON.)
Approximately 30 seconds after the
thermostat turns OFF, the indoor fan is
stopped.
The indoor fan is stopped.
The indoor and outdoor
temperatures are high.
The outdoor unit starts automatically after 3
minutes.
During these 3 minutes, a low-pressure
pressure balance is achieved, allowing the
compressor to start more easily.
In order to protect the compressor, the outdoor
unit will not operate for 3 minutes after the
thermostat turns OFF, even if the room
temperature drops below the desired
temperature.
The room temperature
has reached the desired
temperature.
Operating frequency is stabilized in order to
maintain a comfortable environment.
The indoor temperature and the remote
controller temperature setting are
approximately equal.
The thermostat turns ON.The unit operated before, and the temperature of
the indoor heat exchanger is relatively warm.
Therefore,the fan speed may start at the set fan
speed at the same time that the thermostat turns
ON.
The indoor unit is stopped.
Depending on the relationship between the
remote controller temperature setting and the
room temperature, the compressor may stop
temporarily (in other words, the thermostat
may turn OFF).
When the indoor coil temperature rises,
the compressor starts,
the outdoor fan starts,
and the indoor fan changes from "LL"
to the set fan speed.
The amount of heat pump exceeds the amount
of heat radiation from the room.
Therefore, there is no need to further increase
the compressor capacity, and the frequency is
stabilized or lowered.
The frequency is not increased, even if
there is a difference between the room
temperature and the desired temperature.
In some cases, the frequency may be
decreased.
NOTE

When defrost operation
begins, frost has formed
on the outdoor unit
(when the ambient air
temperature is low).
Defrost operation begins based on outdoor heat
exchanger temperature and outdoor air
temperature conditions.
Non-stop defrost (Refer to Fig. 1)
1. After HEAT operation begins, the temperature
of the outdoor heat exchanger is at or below the
L1 line for 35 minutes.
(If outdoor air temperature is less than –3 °C,
the time is 48 minutes)
2. After HEAT operation begins, the temperature
of the outdoor heat exchanger is at or below the
L2 line for 120 minutes.
The 4-way valve remains ON during defrost.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
8-1. Precautions before Performing Inspection or Repair
Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit include electronic control circuits.
Be sure to pay attention to the following before inspecting or repairing the outdoorside electronic circuits.
High-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used inside the outdoor unit controller (inverter). They retain an
electrical charge (charging voltage DC 311 V) even after the power is turned OFF, and some time is required
for the charge to dissipate.
Be careful not to touch any electrified parts before the control circuit board Power Lamp (red) turns OFF.
If the outdoor control circuit board is normal, approximately 180 seconds will be required for the charge to
dissipate. However, allow at least 30 minutes for the charge to dissipate if it is thought there might be trouble
with the outdoor control circuit board.
For example, if the outdoor control circuit board fuse has blown, approximately 30 minutes will be required to
discharge the high-capacity electrolytic capacitors.

8-2. Trouble Diagnosis by Error Monitor Lamps
WARNING
To prevent electric shock, do not inspect or repair until
the Power Lamp on the P.C.Board is turned off.
8-2-1. Location of the Error Monitor Lamps
Remove the top plate of outdoor unit and the cover of Electrical Component Box.
The Power Lamp and Error Monitor Lamps are located on the P.C.Board of Electrical Component Box. (Fig.1)
8-2-2. Display of the Error Monitor Lamps

Check whether or not the breaker has been tripped.
Check that the breakers and fuses used are of the specified capacity.
Check that the breaker and its line are exclusive for A/C use.
(10) Refrigerant gas pressure
Start a COOL test run, and messure the temperatures of the A/C intake air and discharge air. Compare the values
with the performance charts.
If the values are higher than the performance charts:
Check for refrigerant shortage or blockage of the refrigerant circuit.
< Assessment of refrigerant shortage >
1. The pressure in the low-pressure section is 5 MPa or more below the value in the performance charts.
2. There is little condensation on the indoor heat exchanger, which overall appears dry.
< Distinguishing between refrigerant shortage and refrigerant circuit blockage >
If the pressure in the low-pressure section does not change when the circuit is charged 2 to 3 times with
refrigerant gas (0.44 lbs each time), or if the change is small, then the problem may not be refrigerant
shortage.
The problem may be a blockage of the refrigerant circuit.
1. Check that there is no internal leakage inside the 4-way valve:
At the low-pressure side tubing, check that there is no temperature difference between the intake and
discharge of the 4-way valve.
2. Check that the electric expansion valve is not blocked. Check as described on the preceding page.

8-5. Trouble Diagnosis of Fan Motor
This outdoor DC fan motor contains an internal control PCB. Therefore, it is not possible to measure the coil
resistance, and the following procedure should be used to check the motor.
Perform the trouble diagnosis by Test Run mode described on Installation Instructions of indoor unit.
[Trouble symptom 1] The fan does not stop when the outdoor unit stops. Outdoor unit controller trouble
[Trouble symptom 2] The fan motor does not rotate when the outdoor unit is operating.
(Diagnostic procedure)
* Disconnect the motor connectors and measure the voltage at the DC motor connectors on the outdoor
unit controller (3 locations).
(Diagnostic results)
All of the above measured values are normal. Fan motor trouble (Replace the motor.)
Any one of the above measured values is not normal. Outdoor unit controller trouble
(Replace the controller .)
(Reference)DC motor connector pin arrangement
[Trouble symptom 3] Motor rotates for some time (several seconds), but then quickly stops, when the outdoor
unit operates.
(There is trouble in the system that provides feedback of motor rotation speed from the
motor to the outdoor unit controller.)
[Trouble symptom 4] Fan motor rotation speed does not change during outdoor unit operation.
[Trouble symptom 5] Fan motor rotation speed varies excessively during outdoor unit operation.
(Remedy for symptom 3 to 5)
It is not possible to identify whether the trouble is outdoor unit controller trouble or motor trouble.
Therefore, first replace the outdoor unit controller, then (if necessary) replace the DC motor.
Important:
(A) Turn OFF the power before connecting or disconnecting the motor connectors.
(B) When performing voltage measurement at the outdoor controller connector for (3) in the table
below, the DC motor will trip and voltage output will stop approximately 10 seconds after
operation is started. For this reason, to measure the voltage again, first turn OFF the outdoor
unit power, then, measure the voltage in Test Run mode.

9. REFRIGERANT R410A:
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING UNIT
9-1. Characteristics of New Refrigerant R410A
9-1-1. What is New Refrigerant R410A?
R410A is a new refrigerant that contains two types of pseudo-non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture. Its
refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency are about the same level as the conventional refrigerant, R22.
9-1-2. Components (mixing proportions)
HFC32 (50%) / HFC125 (50%)
9-1-3. Characteristics
Less toxic, more chemically stable refrigerant
The composition of refrigerant R410A changes whether it is in a gaseous phase or liquid phase. Thus, when
there is a refrigerant leak the basic performance of the air conditioner may be degraded because of a change in
composition of the remaining refrigerant.
Therefore, do not add new refrigerant.
Instead, recover the
remaining refrigerant with the refrigerant recovery unit. Then, after evacuation, totally recharge the specified
amount of refrigerant with the new refrigerant at its normal mixed composition state (in liquid phase).
When refrigerant R410A is used, the composition will differ depending on whether it is in gaseous or liquid
phase, and the basic performance of the air conditioner will be degraded if it is charged while the refrigerant is in
gaseous state.
Thus, always charge the refrigerant while it is in liquid phase.
9-2. Checklist before Servicing
Use a clutch-type flare tool for R410A or the conventional flare tool. Note that sizes of the resultant flares differ
between these two tools. Where a conventional flare tool is used, make sure to observe A Specification (amount of
extrusion) by using the flare spacer.
Size of flare
Ether-type oil is used for compressor oil for R410A-type units, which is different
from the mineral oil used for R22. Thus more attention to moisture prevention and
faster replacement work compared with conventional models are required.

Tubing precautions
Refrigerant R410A is more easily affected by dust or moisture compared with R22, thus be sure to temporarily
cover the ends of the tubing with caps or tape prior to installation.
Never use 0.7mm-thick copper tubing or tubing which is less than 0.8mm in thickness, since air conditioners with
R410A are subject to higher pressure than those using R22 and R407C.
No addition of compressor oil for R410A
No additional charge of compressor oil is permitted.
No use of refrigerant other than R410A
Never use a refrigerant other than R410A.
If refrigerant R410A is exposed to fire
Through welding, etc., toxic gas may be released when R410A refrigerant is exposed to fire. Therefore, be sure
to provide ample ventilation during installation work.
Caution in case of R410A leak
Check for possible leak points with the special leak detector for R410A. If a leak occurs inside the room,
immediately provide thorough ventilation.

Tools which can be com-
monly used for R22,
R407C, and R410A
CAUTION
The above tools specifically for R410A must not be used for R22 and R407C.
Doing so will cause malfunction of the unit.
For the above vacuum pump (*1, *2) and vacuum pump adapter (*3), those for
R22-type units can be used for R410A-type. However, they must be used
exclusively for R410A and never alternately with R22 and R407C.
For details on tubing installation procedures, refer to the installation manuals attached to the indoor
unit and outdoor unit.
NOTE
To prevent other refrigerants (R22, R407C) from being mistakenly charged to this unit, shape and external
diameter of the service port screw has been altered.
<External diameter of service port> R410A : 7.94 mm (5/16")
R22, R407C : 6.35 mm (1/4")
9-4. Tubing Installation Procedures
When the tubes are connected,
always apply HAB oil on the flare portions to improve the sealing of tubing.
The following is the HAB oil generally used:
Esso: ZERICE S32
61
9-5. In Case of Compressor Malfunction
CAUTION
Should the compressor malfunction, be sure to make the switch to a replacement
compressor as quickly as possible.
Use only the tools indicated exclusively for R410A. See "9-3. Tools Specifically
for R410A."
9-5-1. Procedure for Replacing Compressor
(1) Recovering refrigerant
Any remaining refrigerant inside the unit should not be
released to the atmosphere, but recovered using the
refrigerant recovery unit for R410A.
Do not reuse the recovered refrigerant, since it will contain
impurities.
(2) Replacing Compressor
Soon after removing seals of both discharge and suction
tubes of the new compressor, replace it quickly.
(3) Checking for sealing
Use nitrogen gas for the pressurized gas, and never use a
refrigerant other than R410A. Also do not use oxygen or
any flammable gas.
(4) Evacuation
Use a solenoid valve-installed vacuum pump
so that
even if power is cut off in the middle of evacuation of air
due to a power interruption, the valve will prevent the
pump oil from flowing back.
The equipment may be damaged if moisture remains in
the tubing, thus carry out the evacuation thoroughly.
When using a vacuum pump with exhaust air volume more
than 25L/min. and ultimate vacuum pressure rate of
0.05Torr.

CAUTION
Never charge a large amount
of liquid refrigerant at once to
the unit. This may cause
damage to the compressor.
CAUTION
To prevent the composition
of R410A from changing,
never bleed the refrigerant
gas into the atmosphere
while transferring the
refrigerant. (Fig. 3)
(5) Recharging
Be sure to charge the specified amount of
refrigerant in liquid state
using the service port
of the wide tube service valve. The proper
amount is listed on the unit's nameplate.
When the entire amount cannot be charged all at
once, charge gradually while operating the unit in
Cooling Operation.
When charging with a refrigerant cylinder, use an
electronic scale for charging refrigerant. In this
case, if the volume of refrigerant in the cylinder
becomes less than 20% of the fully-charged
amount, the composition of the refrigerant starts
to change. Thus,
do not use the refrigerant if
the amount in the charging cylinder is less
than 20%.
Also, charge the minimum necessary amount to
the charging cylinder before using it to charge
the air conditioning unit.
Example:
In case of charging refrigerant to a unit requiring
0.76Kg using a capacity of a 10Kg cylinder, the
minimum necessary amount for the cylinder is:
0.76 + 10 0.20 = 2.76Kg
For the remaining refrigerant, refer to the
instructions of the refrigerant manufacturer.
If using a charging cylinder, transfer the specified
amount of liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant
cylinder to the charging cylinder.
Prepare an evacuated charging cylinder
beforehand.
Do not use the refrigerant if the amount in the
charging cylinder is less than 20%.

9-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking
CAUTION
Never attempt to charge additional refrigerant when refrigerant has been leaking
from the unit. Follow the procedure described below to locate points of leaks and
carry out repairs, then recharge the refrigerant.
(1) Detecting Leaks
Use the detector for R410A to locate refrigerant leak
points.
(2) Recovering refrigerant
Never release the gas to the atmosphere; recover
residual refrigerant using the refrigerant recovery unit for
R410A, instead.
Do not reuse the recovered refrigerant because its
composition will have been altered.
(3) Welding leaking points
Confirm again that no residual refrigerant exists in the unit
before starting welding.
Weld securely using flux and wax for R410A.
Prevent oxide film from forming inside the tubes utilizing
substitution with nitrogen (N2) in the refrigerant circuit of
the unit. Leave ends of tubes open during welding.
(4) Checking for sealing
Use nitrogen gas for the pressurized gas, and never use
a refrigerant other than R410A. Also do not use oxygen or
any flammable gas.
(5) Evacuation
Use a solenoid valve-installed vacuum pump
so that
even if power is cut off in the middle of evacuation of air
due to a power interruption, the valve will prevent the
pump oil from flowing back.
The equipment may be damaged if moisture remains in
the tubing, thus carry out the evacuation thoroughly.

9-7. Charging Additional Refrigerant
9-7-1. When Tubes are Extended
Observe the proper amount of refrigerant as stated in this service manual or the installation manual that came
with the indoor unit.
Charge additional refrigerant in liquid state only.
9-8. Retro-Fitting Existing Systems
9-8-1. Use of Existing Units
Never use new refrigerant R410A for existing units which use R22.
This will cause the air conditioner to
operate improperly and may result in a hazardous condition.
9-8-2. Use of Existing Tubing
If replacing an older unit that used refrigerant R22 with a R410A unit,
do not use its existing tubing.
Instead,
completely new tubing must be used.
CAUTION
Never charge additional refrigerant if refrigerant is leaking from the unit. Follow
instructions given in "9-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking" and completely carry out
repairs. Only then should you recharge the refrigerant.

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 tub-
ing 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 over-
heating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
• Install a protective leakage breaker depending on the
installation location (especially a damp or humid location). If a leakage breaker is not installed, electric
shock can occur.
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 (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
•
Position the outdoor unit in a protected location
where snow will not blow into it.
• 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.
• Do not install only a single indoor unit.

3. Installation Process
3-1. Embedding the Tubing and Wiring
G Do not connect tubes to locations that are embedded.
G Be sure to bind refrigerant tubing and inter-unit cables
together with vinyl tape.
G The power cable must be obtained on-site.
(ø3.5: Less than 26 m)
G Be sure to apply the provided labels to both ends of
the inter-unit cables to prevent miswiring.
G Securely seal the end of embedded tubing with vinyl
tape in order to prevent dirt or moisture entry.
G In order to prevent insulation breakdown and ground
faults, do not allow the wire ends to contact rainwater,
or be subject to dew condensation.
Fig. 8
3-3. 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.
3-4. 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. 30 –
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. 8)
3-2. Drain Cap and Drain Elbow
First refer to Section 2. Installation Site Selection.
The drain hole at the bottom of the outdoor unit was not
plugged at the time of factory shipment. If necessary,
plug the drain hole with the accessory drain cap or
mount the accessory drain elbow before installing the
outdoor unit. (Fig. 7a or 7b)

English
When reaming, hold the tube end downward and be sure
that no copper scraps fall into the tube. (Fig. 9)
(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. 10 and 11)
(*Use “RIDGID” or equivalent.)
A good flare should have the following characteristics:
G inside surface is glossy and smooth.
G edge is smooth.
G tapered sides are of uniform length.
3-5. 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 matching
surfaces of the flare and union before connecting them
together. This is effective for reducing gas leaks.
(Fig. 12)
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. 13)
3-6. Tubing Connections
a) Temporary connection:
Screw in 3 – 5 rotations by hand. (Fig.14)
b) To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque as:

3-7. 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.
The thickness of the insulation should be a minimum
8 mm. (Fig. 17)
3-8. 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. 18)
(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to wall, using 1 clamp approx.
every 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.
3-9. 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. 19)

4. Air Purging
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below.
Therefore, they must be purged completely.
G pressure in the system rises
G operating current rises
G cooling efficiency drops
G moisture in the air may freeze and block capil-
lary tubing
G water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigerant system
I Air Purging with a Vacuum Pump
(for Test Run)
G In order to protect the earth’s environment, be
sure to use a vacuum pump to perform the air
purge.
(Never perform an air purge by using the refrigerant
gas cylinder or other external gas, or by using the gas
inside the outdoor unit.)
Perform the air purge for tubes A, B, C, and D. Use the
same procedures for all tubes.
(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. 20).
Fig. 20
Fig. 21
CAUTION
Be sure to 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.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Before using the vacuum pump
adapter, read the vacuum pump
adapter manual, and use the
adapter correctly.
In order to prevent charging errors with Air
Conditioner that uses R410A, the screw
diameter at the service valve charging port
has been changed. When recharging or
performing other servicing, use the special
charging hose and manifold gauge.
G When using a hex wrench to open the spindle, an
extremely small amount of refrigerant may leak.
This does not indicate a problem.
G Use a hex wrench of a type to which force can be
easily applied.

(4) With the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve open and
high-pressure valve (“Hi”) closed completely, run
the vacuum pump. Run the pump until the pressure is –101 kPa (–76 cmHg). 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 required for evacuation:
Table 5
The required time in the above table is calculated
based on the assumption that the ideal (or target) vacuum condition is around 10 mmHg abs.
(5) With the vacuum pump still running, close the “Lo”
knob of the manifold valve. Then stop the vacuum
pump. Fully close the low-pressure valve and stop
the vacuum pump. (Wait 1 – 2 minutes and check
that the manifold gauge pointer does not return. If
it does return, find and repair the leak, then apply
the vacuum again.)
(6) With a 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.
(7) With a standard screwdriver, turn the wide tube
service valve stem counterclockwise to fully open
the valve.
(8) Turn the narrow tube service valve stem counter-
clockwise to fully open the valve.
(9) Loosen the vacuum hose connected to the wide
tube service port slightly to release the pressure.
Then, remove the hose.
(10) Leak test all joints at the tubing (both indoor and
outdoors) with liquid soap. Bubbles indicate a leak.
Be sure to wipe off the soap with a clean cloth.
CAUTION
Be sure to completely insert
the hex wrench before
attempting to turn the valve.
Required time for evacuation when capacity
of 100 liter/h vacuum pump is used
20 min. or more
CAUTION
If a CFC gas detector is used,
use a special detector for HFC
refrigerant (such as R410A and
R134a).
NOTE

English
I Pump Down
G When relocating or disposing of the Air Conditioner, request
this service from the dealer where the unit was purchased,
or from an appropriate agent. Perform pump-down as
described below.
What is pump-down?
G Pump-down refers to recovering the refrigerant gas from the
refrigerant cycle at the outdoor unit. This work must be
performed during cooling operation. The refrigerant gas
cannot be recovered during heating operation.
G During winter, or if the temperature sensor prevents cooling
operation, perform “forced cooling operation.”
Pump-down procedure
(1) Fully close the spindles at the valves on the narrow tube
side of tubes A, B, C and D. (Refer to Fig. 22.)
(2) Connect the manifold gauge to the charging port at the valve
on the wide tube side of tube D. Purge the air from the
charging hose. (Refer to Fig. 23.)
(3) Perform cooling operation or forced cooling operation.
When the pressure at the low-pressure side is 0.15 – 0.2
MPa (0.5 – 1 kg/cm
2
G), fully close the spindles at the
valves on the wide tube side of tubes A, B, C, and D, and
immediately stop operation. (Refer to Fig. 23.)
In the winter, the outdoor unit may stop after 5 - 10 minutes
of operation. This is in order to protect the indoor unit heat
exchanger from freezing and does not indicate a problem.
(4) Disconnect the manifold gauge and the inter-unit tubes,
and attach the caps and flare nuts. At this point, pumpdown is completed. (If the caps and flare nuts are not reattached, there is the danger of gas leakage.)
(Refer to Fig. 24.)
If pump-down is not possible
If the Air Conditioner cannot be operated because of a malfunction or other cause, use a refrigerant recovery device to recover
the refrigerant.
In order to protect the earth’s environment, be sure to perform pump-down to recover refrigerant
gas without releasing it into the atmosphere.
Fig. 22
(11) Replace the flare nut on the wide tube service port and fasten the flare nut securely with an adjustable wrench or
box wrench. Next, mount the valve cap and tighten it with a torque wrench (the cap needs to be tightened with the
torque of 20 N·m (200 kgf · cm)). This process is very important to prevent gas from leaking from the system.
(12) Test run the air conditioner. (See page 23.)
(13) While the air conditioner is running, apply liquid soap to check for any gas leaks around the service valves or caps.

5. Wiring Instructions
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, with a power supply disconnect and circuit breaker for overcurrent protection provided in the exclusive
line.
(3) To prevent possible hazard due to insulation failure,
the unit must be grounded.
(4) Each wiring connection must be done tightly and in
accordance 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.
5-2. Recommended Wire Length and Diameter
Regulations on wiring diameter differ from locality to locality.
For field wiring requirements, please refer to your local electrical codes. Carefully observe these regulations when carrying out the installation.
Table 6 shows maximum wire lengths for control line and
power line and fuse or circuit capacity.
Refer to the wiring system diagram (Fig. 25a or 25b) for the
meaning of (A), (B), and (C) in Table 6.

CAUTION
G Be sure to connect the power supply line to the outdoor unit as shown in the wiring diagram. The indoor
unit draws its power from the outdoor unit.
G Do not run wiring for antenna, signal, or power lines of television, radio, stereo, telephone, security sys-
tem, or intercom any closer than 1 meter from the power cable and wires between the indoor and outdoor
units. Electrical noise may affect the operation.
G To avoid the risk of electric shock, each air
conditioner unit must be grounded.
G For the installation of a grounding device,
please observe local electrical codes.
G Grounding is necessary, especially for units
using inverter circuits, in order to release
charged electricity and electrical noise
caused by high tension.
Otherwise, electrical shock may occur.
G Place a dedicated ground more than 2 meters
away from other grounds and do not have it
shared with other electric appliances.

6. Test Run
Performing a test run
G Refer to the test run procedures in the indoor unit
installation manual.
G Perform the test run separately for each connected
indoor unit. If 2 units are operated simultaneously, it is
not possible to correctly check for errors in tubing and
wiring.
G If the room temperature is 15°C or below, it may not
be possible to check for tubing errors with cooling
operation. If this occurs, perform heating operation for
each unit individually, and check that warm air is discharged from each unit. If there is cold air mixed in
with the warm air, check the tubing connections
again.
Checking tubing and wiring
Perform the test run and check that operation is normal.
If there is an error in tubing or wiring, the refrigerant may
flow to indoor unit B when indoor unit A is operated (for
example).
G Stop operation immediately if there is an error in tub-
ing or wiring. Turn the power (breaker) to OFF, and
check whether the inter-unit cables are connected
incorrectly, or whether the narrow tubes A and B are
connected in reverse. Correct the connections.
G If there is an error in tubing, pump-down must be
performed. Be sure to perform pump-down. After
making corrections, again purge the air from the
tubes.

• Refer to the catalog for the combination indoor units.
• Store this table together with the operation manual supplied with the indoor unit.
<Combinations of Connectable Indoor Units>
The combinations of the indoor units listed in Table 1 on the next page are combinations solely of those units which can be
operated concurrently. In addition to the combinations listed in the table, other combinations of indoor units are possible
provided that the following conditions are satisfied.
Conditions:
1. At least two or more indoor units must be connected to the multi outdoor unit. It is not acceptable for only one indoor
unit to be connected.
2. The total rated cooling capacity of the indoor units to be connected must be no more than 200% of the rated cooling
capacity of the outdoor unit.
CAUTION
Example: When four indoor units are connected
If the following holds true
• Rated cooling capacity of GRF318MR5I outdoor unit: C=8 (kW)
It is therefore possible to connect four units with respective capacities of 2.2 + 2.2 + 3.5 + 7.1. However, since this combination is not found in the 4-room operation column of Table 1, operating all these units concurrently may result in trouble. At a
time like this, shut down at least one of the four indoor units to match one of the combinations found in the 3-room operation column of Table 1.
NOTE
Be sure to operate the air conditioning system only when 2 or more
indoor units have been installed. If operated with only a single unit
installed, the returning fluid to the compressor may cause a malfunction.
In this case, all the indoor units installed must not be operated concurrently under any
circumstances. Otherwise, the air conditioner may not run properly and trouble may
occur.
