WARNING
• This symbol refers to
a hazard or unsafe
practice which can
resuklt in severe
personal injury or
death.
IN CASE OF IMPROPER INSTALLATION
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper
installation or maintenance service, including failure to follow
the instruction in this document.
When Transporting
Be careful when pocking 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 Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause driping 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 aoutdoor unit down with bolts and a metal
frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Executive enough ventilation in case refrigerant gases leak
during operations. Be careful that the contact of the
refrigerant gases with the flare will cause the generation of
poisonous gases.
• 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.
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
• This symbol refers to
a hazard or unsafe
practice which can
resuklt in personal
injury or product or
property damage.
SPECIAL PRECAUTION
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A
QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN
SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
When Wiring
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are
completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltage are used in this system.
Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instruction
when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate
grounding can cause accidentaly injury or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all witing tightly. Loose wiring may cause
overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
PRECAUTIONS FOR NEW REFRIGERANT R 407 C INSTALLATION
1. Care regarding piping
1-1. There is no need to change piping and tube wall thickness. Use refrigerant pipes of the same wall thickness as R22.
Type 0 1/2 H, H
Copper tube
* C 1220 type with JIS H 3300 designation (Copper Pipe and Copper Alloy Seamless Pipe)
1-2. Prevent impurities including water, dust and oxide
from coming into the pipe. Impurities can cause R407C
refrigerant deterioration and compressor defects. Due
to the different features of the refrigerant and
refrigerating machine oil, the prevention of water and
other impurities becomes more important than ever.
2. Make sure to refill the refrigerant in liquid form
2-1. Since R 407 C is a non-azeotrope, refilling 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 refill the required total amount
of new refrigerant after fixing the leak.
3. Different tools
3-1. Tools specs have been changed due to the features
of R 407 C. Some of the R 22 tools cannot be used.

1. Deoxidized annealed copper tube for refrigerant tubing.
2. Foamed polyethylene insulation for 15.88 mm (5/8”) or
19.05 mm (3/4”) O.D. copper tubes as required to precise
length of tubing. Wall thickness of the insulation should
be not less than 8 mm.
3. Use insulated copper wire for field wiring. Wire size varies
with the total length of witing. Refer to Section 5. Electrical

Remarks
Types of refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil, and pressure
gauge are different.
To resist pressure and oil, material has been changed.
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 adaptor.
Leak detector for CFC an HCFC which react to chlorine do not
function because R407C contains no chlorine. Leak detector for
R407C can be used for HFC134a.
Mineral oil (for example, suniso oil) can be used as R22 oil. Use
synthetic fluid (for example, ether oil) as R407C oil.
* Using both R22 tools and new tools together can cause defects.
3-2. Use a R407C exclusive cylinder only.
Single-outlet valve
(with siphon tube).
Liquid refrigerant can be
refilled standing it up
straight.
New refrigerant R407C cannot be used for existing models.
1. Compressor specs are different.
When refilling the R22 compressor with R407C, durability will significantly decrease since some
of the materials used for compressor parts are different.
2. Existing piping cannot be used.
Completely cleaning out residual refrigerating machine oil is impossible, even by flushing.
3. Refrigerating machine oil differs.
Since R22 refrigerating machine oil is mineral oil, it does not dissolve in R407C. Therefore,
refrigerating machine oil discharged from the compressor can cause compressor damage.

2-2. Installing the Unit in Heavy Snow
Areas
In positions with strong wind, snow-proof ducting
should likewise be fitted and direct exposure to the
wind should be avoided as much as possible.
Countermeasures against snow and wind in regions
with snow and strong wind, the following problems
may occur when the outdoor unit is not provided with
a platform and snow-proof ducting.
a) The outdoor fan may not run and damage of the
unit may be caused.
b) There may be no air flow.
c) The tubing may freeze and burst.
d) The condenser pressure may drop because of
strong wind, and the indoor unit may freeze.
2-3. Precautions for Installation in Heavy
Snow Areas
1) The platform should be higher than the max, snow
depth. (Fig. 2-5).
2) The two fixing feet of the outdoor unit should be
used for the platform, and the platform should be
installed beneath the air intake side of outdoor

2-5. Wind Shield for “SHL”, “SCL” Model
It is recommended to install wind shields for cooling operation
in low outdoor temperature condition. (Fig. 2-8).
General
When the outdoor unit is installed in a position exposed to
strong wind (like seasonal winds with low air temperature in
winter), wind shield must be installed on the outdoor unit.
This unit is designed so that the fan of the outdoor unit runs at
low speed when the air conditioner is operated at low outdoor
air temperatures. When the outdoor unit is exposed to strong
wind, the system pressure drops because of the freeze protector.
For outer dimensions of wind shield, please see Fig. 2-9.

3-3. Burying inside the Ceiling
(1) When placing the unit inside the ceiling, determine the
pitch of the suspension bolts using the provided fullscale installation diagram. (Fig. 3-4).
Tubing and wiring must be laid inside the ceiling when
suspending the unit. If the ceiling is already constructed,
lay the tubing and wiring into positiion for connection
to the unit before placing the unit inside the ceiling.
(2) The length of suspension bolt must be so that the
distance between the bottom of the bolt and the bottom
of the ceiling is more than 60 mm as shown in Fig. 3-4.
(3) Thread the 2 hexagonal nuts and washers (field supply)
onto the 4 suspension bolts as shown in Fig. 3-5.
Use 2 sets of nuts and washers (upper and lower), so
that the unit with not fall off the suspension lugs.
(4) Remove the protective cardboard used to protect the
fan parts during transport.
(5) Adjust the distance between the unit and surface of
the ceiling (48 mm) using the supplied installation
gauge. (Fig. 3-4).
3-4. Installing the Drain Piping
(1) Prepare a standard hard (PVC) pipe (O.D. 32 mm) for
the drain and use the accessory drain hose and hose
band to prevent water leaks.
The PVC pipe must be purchase separately.
The transparent part allows you to check drainage.
(Fig. 3-6).

CAUTION
• Tighten the hose band firmly after the supplied drain
hose has been inserted to touch the ends of both of the
connection pipes, as shown in Fig. 3-7.
• Do not use an 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 pipes easily slip off.
2. The pipes cannot be removed when maintenaces is
needed.
• Do not bend the supplied drain hose 90° or more. The
hose may slip off.
• Align the hose bands with the ends of the hoses. Tighten the hose bands firmly. PLease make sure that the
stopper is not covered by the hose band, as shown in
Fig. 3-7.
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. 3-8.)
NOTE
Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100 or
more) and that there are no water traps.

3-5. Checking the Drainage
After wiring and 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 (L, N terminal) inside the electrical component box.
(2) Remove the tube cover and through the opening, slowly pour about 1,200 cc of water into the drain pan to check drainage.
(3) Short the check pin (CN5 withe) on the indoor control main board and operate the drain pump. Check the water flow and see
if there is any leakage.
CAUTION
• Be careful since the
fan will start when you
short the pin on the indoor control board.
(4) When drain checking is finished, open the check pin
(CN5 white) and remount the tube cover.
CAUTION
• To mount the tube co-
ver, use 4 x 8 tapping
screws. Do not use
long screws as they
may puncture the
drain pan and cause
water leakage.

3-6. Suspending the Indoor Unit
(1) Place the full-scale diagram (supplied) on the ceiling
at the spot where you want to install the indoor unit. Use
a pencil to mark the drill holes. (Fig. 3-14).
NOTE
Since the diagram is made of paper, it may shrink or stretch
slightly because of high temperature or humidity. For this
reason, before drilling the holes maintain the correct dimensions
between the markings.
(2) Drill holes at the 4 points indicated on the fullscale
diagram.
(3) Depending on the ceiling type:
a) Insert suspension bolts as shown in Fig. 3-15.
or
b) Use existing ceiling supports or construct a suitable
support as shown in Fig. 3-16.
Fig. 3-14
Fig. 3-15
CAUTION
• Do not install an air bleeder, as this may cause water
to spray from the drain tube outlet. (Fig. 3-9)
• If it is neccesary to increase the height of the drain
pipe somewhat, the portion directly after the connection
port can be raised a maximum of 25 cm. Do not raise
it any higher than 25 cm, as this could result in water
leaks. (Fig. 3-10)
• Do not install pipe with an upward gradient from the
connection port. It will cause the drain water to flow
backwards and leak when the unit is stopped.
(Fig. 3-11)
• 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. 3-12)
• Be sure to provide insulation for any drain piping
installed indoors.

WARNING
• It is important that you use extreme care in supporting
the indoor unit from the ceiling. Ensure that the ceiling
is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
Before hanging the ceiling unit, test the strength of
each attached suspension bolt.
(4) Screw in the suspensions bolts, allowing them to
protrude from the ceiling as shown in Fig. 3-16. The
distance od each exposed bolt must be of equal length
within 50 mm. (Fig. 3-17)
(5) Before suspending the indoor unit; remove the 2 or 3
screws on the latch of the air-intake grilles, open the
grilles, and remove them by pushing the claws of the
hinges as shown in Fig. 3-18. Then remove both side
panels sliding them along the unit toward the front after
removing the two screws which fix them. (Fig. 3-19).
(6) Preparation for suspending the indoor unit. The
suspension method varies depending on whether the
unit is next to the ceiling or not. (Fig. 3-20 and 3-21).
(7) Suspend the indoor unit as follows.
(a) mount a washer and two hexagonal nuts on each
suspension bolt as shown in Fig. 3-22.

(c) Tighten the two hexagonal nuts on each suspension
bolt to suspend the indoor unit as shown in Fig. 3-24.
NOTE
A ceiling surface is not always level. Please confirm that the
indoor unit is evenly suspended. For the installation to be
correct, leave a clearance of about 10 mm between the ceiling
panel and the ceiling surface and fill the gap with an appropriate
insulation or filler material.
(8) If the tubing and wiring have to pass towards the rear
of the unit, make holes in the wall. (Fig. 3-25)
(9) Measure the thickness of the wall from the inside to
the outside and cut PVC pipe at a slight angle to fit.
Insert the PVC pipe in the wall. (Fig. 3-26)
NOTE
The hole should be made at a slight downxard slant to the
outside.

3-7. Duct for Fresh Air
There is a duct connection port (knock-out hole) at the rightrear on the Panel Top of the indoor unit for drawing in fresh air.
If it is necessary to draw in fresh air, remove the cover by
knocking out and connect the duct to the idoor unit throught the
connection port. (Fig. 3-27)
If connection at the right-rear on the Panel Top is not
appropriate, another duct connection port can be made by
cutting an opening on the left side of the Rear Panel of the
indoor unit as shown in Fig. 3-28.
3-8. Installing the Drain Piping
• Prepare a standar PVC pipe for the drain and connect it to
the indoor unit drain pipe with the supplied hose clamps to
prevent water leaks.
CAUTION
• Tighten the drain pipe clamps so that the locking nuts
are facing upwards. (If tightened with the locking nuts
facing downwards, it may cause water leakage).
• Do not use an adhesive when connecting the drain
hose (supplied) to the drain connection (main unit,
PVC pipe).
• Connect the drain piping so that it slopes downward from
the unit to the outside. (Fig. 3-29)
• Never allow traps to occur in the course of the piping.
• Insulate any piping inside the room to prevent dripping.
• Use the supplied drain pipe to connect the drain pipe with the
drain outlet of the indoor unit.
• After connecting the drain pipe securely, wrap the supplied
drain pipe insulator around the pipe, seal the gap at the drain
socket with the supplied black insulation tape, then secure
it with clamps. (Fig. 3-30)
• After the drain piping, pour water into the drain pan to check
that the water drains smoothly.
CAUTION
• Check local electrical
codes and regulations
before obtaining wire.
Also, check any specified instruction or limitations.
