WARNINGS ON REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE
Outdoor unit
e.g., charged amount (15kg)
e.g., charged amount (10kg)
Indoor unit
Room A Room B Room C Room D Room E Room F
For the amount of charge in this example:
The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in rooms A, B and C is 10kg. The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in rooms D, E and F is 15kg.
NOTE : 2
The standards for minimum room volume are as follows.
(1) No partition (shaded portion)
Outdoor unit
Refrigerant piping
Indoor unit
(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 a 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.

Check of Concentration 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 concentration 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 to be imposed which protect the ozone layer. However, since it contains more than air, it poses the risk of suffocation if its concentration should rise excessively. Suffocation from leakage of R410A is almost non-existent. With the recent increase in the number of high concentration 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 with conventional individual air conditioners. If a single unit of the multi 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 concentration 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 concentration may exceed the limit, create an opening with adjacent rooms, or install mechanical ventilation combined with a gas leak detection device. The concentration is as given below.
Total amount of refrigerant (kg)
Min. volume of the indoor unit installed room (m³)
Concentration limit (kg/m³)
The concentration limit of R410A which is used in multi air conditioners is 0.3kg/m³.
NOTE 1 :
If there are 2 or more refrigerating systems in a single refrigerating device, the amounts of refrigerant should be as charged in each independent device.
Important
NOTE
A direct current motor is adopted for indoor fan motor in the Concealed Duct Standard Type air conditioner. Caused from its characteristics, a current limit works on the direct current motor. When replacing the high­performance filter or when opening the service panel, be sure to stop the fan. If an above action is executed during the fan operation, the protective control works to stop the unit oper ation, and the check code “P12” may be appear. However it is not a trouble. When the desired operation has finished, be sure to reset the system to clear “P12” error code using the electric leak breaker of the indoor unit. Then push the operation ON/OFF button of the remote controller to return to the usual operation.

CAUTION New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation
• THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT DESTROY OZONE LAYER.
The characteristics of R410A refrigerant are ; easy to absorb water, oxidizing membrane or oil, and its pressure is approx. 1.6 times higher than that of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with the new refrigerant, refrigerating oil has also been changed. Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigerating oil does not enter the refrigerating cycle.
To prevent charging an incorrect refrigerant and refrigerating oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port of the main unit and installation tools are charged from those for the conventional refrigerant.
Accordingly the exclusive tools are required for the new refrigerant (R410A). For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping designed for R410A, and please care so that water or dust
does not enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are problems with pressure­resistance force and impurity in it.
1. SELECTING A LOCATION FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
Install the air conditioner certainly at a location to sufficiently withstand the weight.
If the strength is insufficient, the unit may fall down resulting in human injury.
Perform a specified installation work to guard against a great wind such as typhoon or an earth quake.
An incomplete installation can cause accidents by the units failing and dropping.
The following models must be installed at height 2.5m or more from the floor. (Concealed type duct type and cassette type air conditioners)
If you insert your hands or others directly into the unit while the air conditioner operates, it is dangerous
because you may contact with revolving fan or active electricity.
Installation Location Selection for Outdoor unit
Obtain permission from the customer to install the unit in a location that satisfies the following requirements :
• A location that permits level installation of the unit.
• A location that provides enough space to service the unit safety
• A location where water draining from the unit will not pose a problem
Avoid installing in the following places.
• Place exposed to air with high salt content (seaside area), or place exposed to large quantities of sulfide gas (hot spring). (Should the unit be used in these places, special protective measures are needed.)
• Place exposed to oil, vapor, oil smoke or corrosive gas.
• Place where organic solvent is used nearby.
• Place close to a machine generating high frequency.
• Place where the discharged air blows directly into the window of the neighboring house. (For outdoor unit)
• Place where noise of the outdoor unit is easily transmitted. (When installing the air conditioner on the boundary with the neighbor, pay due attention to the level of noise.)
• Place with poor ventilation. (Especially in Concealed duct type indoor unit, before air ducting work, check whether value of air volume, static pressure and duct resistance are correct.)

Tools
Required Tools
The used refrigerating oil is changed, and mixing of oil may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge, clogging of capillary, etc. Accordingly, the tools to be used are classified into the following three types.
(1) Tools exclusive for R410A (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22)) (2) Tools exclusive for R410A, but can be also used for conventional refrigerant (R22) (3) Tools commonly used for R410A and for conventional refrigerant (R22) The table below shows the tools exclusive for R410A and their interchangeability.
Tools exclusive for R410A (The following tools for R410A are required.)
Tools whose specifications are changed for R410A and their interchangeability
(Note 1) When flaring is carried out for R410A using the conventional flare tools, adjustment of projection
margin is necessary. For this adjustment, a copper pipe gauge, etc. are necessary.
(Note 2) Charging cylinder for R410A is being currently developed.
General tools (Conventional tools can be used.)
In addition to the above exclusive tools, the following equipments which serve also for R22 are necessary as the general tools.
(1) Vacuum pump

2. SAFETY NOTES
Ensure that all Local, National and International regulations are satisfied.
Read this SAFETY NOTES carefully before Installation.
The precautions described below include the important items regarding safety. Observe them without fail.
After the installation work, perform a trial operation to check for any problem. Follow the Owners Manual to explain how to use and maintain the unit to the customer.
Turn off the main power supply switch (or breaker) before the unit maintenance.
Ask the customer to keep the Installation Manual together with the Owners Manual.
WARNING
• Ask an authorized dealer or qualified installation professional to install/maintain the air
conditioner.
Inappropriate installation may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.
• Turn off the main power supply switch or breaker before attempting any electrical work.
Make sure all power switches are off. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
• Connect the connecting wire correctly.
If the connecting wire is connected in a wrong way, electric parts may be damaged.
• When moving the air conditioner for the installation into another place, be very careful not to enter
any gaseous matter other than the specified refrigerant into the refrigeration cycle.
If air or any other gas is mixed in the refrigerant, the gas pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high and it as a result causes pipe burst and injuries on persons.
• Do not modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or by by-passing any of the safety
interlock switches.
• Exposure of unit to water or other moisture before installation may cause a short-circuit of
electrical parts.
Do not store it in a wet basement or expose to rain or water.
• After unpacking the unit, examine it carefully if there are possible damage.
• Do not install in a place that might increase the vibration of the unit.
• To avoid personal injury (with sharp edges), be careful when handling parts.
• Perform installation work properly according to the Installation Manual.
Inappropriate installation may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.
• When the air conditioner is installed in a small room, provide appropriate measures to ensure that
the concentration of refrigerant leakage occur in the room does not exceed the critical level.
• Install the air conditioner securely in a location where the base can sustain the weight adequately.
• Perform the specified installation work to guard against an earthquake.
If the air conditioner is not installed appropriately, accidents may occur due to the falling unit.
• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.
If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may generate.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas might generate.
• Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Installation
Manual. Make sure the air conditioner uses an exclusive power supply.
An insufficient power supply capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.
• Use the specified wires for wiring connect the terminals securely fix. To prevent external forces
applied to the terminals from affecting the terminals.
• Conform to the regulations of the local electric company when wiring the power supply.
Inappropriate grounding may cause electric shock.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location subject to a risk of exposure to a combustible gas.
If a combustible gas leaks, and stays around the unit, a fire may occur.

3. CHECK POINTS
Check before operation
Turn on the main power switch 12 hours or more before starting the operation.
Check whether earth wire is disconnected or out of place.
Check that air filter is installed to the indoor unit.
Heating capacity
For heating operation, a heat pump type which absorbs the outdoor heat and deliver the heat in the room is adopted. If the outdoor temperature lowers, the heating capacity decreases.
When the outdoor temperature is low, common use with other heating devices is recommended.
Defrost operation in heating operation
If frost is found on the outdoor unit during heating operation, the defrost operation starts automatically (for approx. 2 to 10 minutes) so as to increase the heating effect.
During defrost operation, the fans of both indoor and outdoor units stop.
Protection for 3 minutes
The outdoor unit does not operate for approx. 3 minutes after air conditioner has been immediately restarted after stop, or power switch has been turned on. This is to protect the system.
Main power failure
If a power failure occurs during operation, all operations stop.
When the power is turned on after power failure, the operation lamp of the remote controller flashes to notify.
When restarting the operation, push ON/OFF button again.
Fan rotation of stopped unit
While other indoor units operate, the fan on indoor units on stand-by rotates to protect the machine once per approx. 1 hour for several minutes.
Protective device (High pressure switch)
The high pressure switch operate the air conditioner automatically stops when excessive load is applied to the air conditioner. If the protective device works, the operation lamp keeps lit but the operation stops. When the protective device works, “CHECK” characters in the remote controller display section flash. The protective device may work in the following cases.
Cooling
When air inlet or outlet of the outdoor unit is closed.
When strong wind blows continuously against air outlet of the outdoor unit.
Heating
When much dust or dirt is excessively adhered to air filter of the indoor unit.
When air outlet of the indoor unit is blocked.
NOTE
If the protective device works, turn off the main power switch, remove the cause, and then restart the operation.
Cooling/ heating operation of Multi system air conditioner
In a Multi system air conditioner, cooling operation and heating operation cannot be concurrently performed in the indoor units which are installed to one outdoor system though each indoor unit can be individually controlled. If both operations have been performed at the same time, the indoor unit under COOL mode stops and [
Operation ready] on the operation part goes on. The indoor unit under HEAT mode continues the operation.
When COOL or HEAT mode is fixed by the manager of the air conditioner, other operation than the set mode is unavailable. If other operation than the set mode has been performed, [
PRE-HEAT] or [ Operation ready] on
the operation part goes on and the operation stops.
Characteristics of heating operation
Air does not blow out immediately after start of the operation. When the indoor heat exchanger has been heated after 3 to 5 minutes passed (differs according to temperature of indoor/outdoor temperature), hot air starts blowing.
During operation, the outdoor unit may stop when outdoor temperature becomes high.
When other indoor unit performs heating operation during fan operation, fan operation may be stopped temporarily
to prevent discharge of hot air.

Pay careful attention to the downward slope of the drain pipe. Be sure to check the name of the model in order to avoid any
installation mistakes. If the model has an installation pattern, attach the pattern to the ceiling to mark the position of the ceiling openings and to keep dust away.
Make sure that the pipe system is dry, clean, and airtight. When brazing pipes, blow out the system with nitrogen gas. Do not forget the system indications.
Pipes should have downward slope (of at least 1/100). Make sure the duct is large enough to carry the desired volume of air.
Be careful not to make any errors in the external static pressure calculations.
Be especially careful to close off all gaps where connections are made to the indoor unit, and at joints in the branching kit. Do not forget the drain pipes.
Use two-core shielded wires for the control wires, and use separate power supplies for the indoor and outdoor units.
Set the switches correctly, as indicated in the control wiring system diagram.
Make sure that the base is level. Provide for adequate air flow and service space around the outdoor
unit. Indicate the system names clearly. From outside outlet to outdoor unit.
In the final test, the system must be pressurized at 3.73MPa (38kg/ cm²G) for 24 hours with no decrease in pressure.
Use a vacuum pump with reverse flaw prevention adaptor with a large output volume and that can achieve a high level of vacuum.
Record the amount of refrigerant that was added to the system on both the outdoor unit and on the pre-test operation checklist.
Make sure that the ceiling panel is attached to the ceiling material tightly, with no gaps.
Operate the indoor units one by one, making sure that all wiring and pipes are connected correctly, and fill out the checklist.
Explain how to operate the system clearly and concisely.

5-3. Selecting the Refrigerant Line Material
• Refrigerant pipes
• Material: Phosphoric deoxidized seam-less pipe
• Capacity code of outdoor unit / indoor unit
For each indoor unit, the capacity code is determined for every capacity rank.
For each outdoor unit, the capacity code is determined for every capacity rank. The Max. number of the
connectable indoor units and the total capacity code value of the indoor units are also determined. Against the capacity code of the outdoor unit, the total capacity codes of the connectable indoor units differ
according to the height difference between indoor units.
When the height difference between indoor units is 15m or less: Up to 135% of capacity code of outdoor unit
When the height difference between indoor units is 15m or more: Up to 105% of capacity code of outdoor unit

5-5. Careful Handling
Careful handling is the most important step in preventing moisture, dirt, and dust from getting inside of the pipes. Moisture in pipes has caused major problems in numerous instances in the past. Therefore, it is important to be as careful as possible in order to prevent problems before they occur.
Pipe delivery and storage
When pipes are delivered, care should be taken to prevent it from becoming bent or deformed, and the ends of the pipes should be capped in order to prevent dirt, mud, rain, etc., from getting inside. Build a wooden frame to hold the pipes securely, and store the pipes in the specified location.
Delivery of copper pipes without caps to a work site is not acceptable.
The ends of all pipes must be sealed. The most reliable method is the pinch method, but the taping method can be selected in some circumstances.
n Pinch method
Pinch the end of the copper pipe closed, and braze any opening closed.
n Taping method
Cover the end of the copper pipe with vinyl tape.

CAUTIONS
1) Do not allow dirt or moisture inside of the pipes.
Keep the open ends of all pipes
capped until all pipes have been connected.
Pipe openings should face
horizontally or downwards if at all possible.
2) When passing a pipe through an
opening in a wall, always keep the end of the pipe capped.
3) Do not place pipes directly on the ground. Do not scrape pipes on the ground.
4) When deflashing (removing burrs from) a pipe, point the opening downwards so that no scraps fall inside of the pipe.
5) When installing pipes on a rainy day, always keep the ends of the pipes capped.

<Gas side>
NOTE :
Install the branch pipes horizontally or vertically so that they branch evenly.
Install the branching joint within ± 15 degrees.
Heat insulating for pipes (Branching Joint)
In order to prevent dripping at the place where the insulation provided with the branching kit meets the insulating material obtained on the site, butt the two types of insulation up against each other, and then wrap the seam between the two types of insulation in at least 10mm of the insulating material (in use on the site).
<Gas/Liquid side>
<Liquid side>
Installation direction of branch pipe Install the branching pipes so that it branch either vertically or horizontally.
<Gas/Liquid side>
NOTE :
Install the branch pipes horizontally or vertically so that they are branched evenly.
Install the branching joint within ±15 degrees.
On the gas-side pipe, use insulation that can
withstand heat of 120°C or higher. For the branch pipe, either use a commercially available coupling cover (for T-shape) that is at least 10mm thick, or else insulate the pipe as shown in the figure at below.
After applying insulation as outlined above, tape the insulation in place.

Branching Header
Select and install the socket that matches the diameter of a pipe to be connected to the indoor unit.
<Gas-side branch header>
<Liquid-side branch header>
If the number of indoor units to be connected is fewer than the maximum number of units that can be connected to the branch header, attach a sealed pipe to the unused connectors.
<Gas-side branch header>
<Liquid-side branch header>
Install the branch header so that it branches horizontally. It cannot be used in a vertical position.
<Gas-side>
<Liquid-side>
When arranging the branching header at the liquid side, attach a header sealed pipe on the sealing side of the header as shown in the fiqure at below.
Be sure to install the branch pipe downward. Horizontal viewed from D point should be within ± 10 degrees same as view B.
Supporting branching header After applying the insulation, set the hanging metals
as support. (in use on the site).
NOTE :
1. Install the branching header so that it branches
horizontally. It cannot be used in a vertical position.
2. Do not use T-type pipe for the branching section.
CAUTION
1. On the inlet side of a Y-type branch joint or branch header, allow for at least 300mm of straight pipe.
2. A Y-type branch joint can be installed so that it branches either vertically or horizontally; if branching horizontally, it should be within an angle of ±15°.
3. A branch header should be installed so that it branches horizontally.
4. Do not use T-type branch joints.
CAUTION
In the multi air conditioning system, because the refrigerant pipes congregate at the rooftop pipeshaft outlet in the vertical pipeshaft, it is necessary to attach labels to each pipe in order to make clear to which system a given pipe belongs so as to prevent pipes from being connected incorrectly.

5-9. Nitrogen Gas Blow Method (During Brazing)
If nitrogen gas is not passed through the pipes during brazing, a film of oxidized material will form on the inner surfaces of the pipes. The presence of a such a film in the system will adversely affect the operation of the valves and compressor in the refrigerant system, and will prevent the system from operating normally.
In order to prevent this from occurring, nitrogen gas is passed through the pipes while brazing is in progress. This process of replacing the air in the pipes with nitrogen is called the nitrogen gas blow.
This is the basic method that is used for brazing work.
CAUTION
1. Nitrogen gas must be used. (Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and fluorocarbons cannot be used.)
2. Always be sure to use a pressure-reducing valve.

5-10. Brazing Work
1. Brazing work should be performed downwards
or sideways. Avoid brazing upwards (in order to avoid incomplete brazing). (Recommendation)
2. Always used the specified piping materials for
liquid pipes and gas pipes, and make sure that they are installed in the proper direction and at the proper angle.
3. The nitrogen gas blow method should be used
when brazing.
CAUTIONS
1. Pay attention to fire prevention concerns. (Take preventative measures in the area where brazing work is to
be performed, such as keeping a fire extinguisher or water handy.)
2. Be careful not to burn yourself.
3. Make sure that any gaps between pipes and couplings are appropriate. (Do not miss brazing any joints.)
4. Make sure that pipes are adequately supported.
The following table provides basic guidelines for the interval between supports for horizontal copper pipe.
Interval between supports for copper pipe
Avoid securing copper pipes with metal brackets directly.
* Gas brazing of refrigerant pipes must be performed by personnel qualified to do so under local ordinances.

Work procedure
Straighten the coiled copper pipe.
Key point
Uncoil the pipe.
(Reason)
It is difficult to cut the coiled pipe correctly, which increases the chance of failure.
Cut the pipe with the pipe cutter.
Use the reamer to remove burrs from the cut surface of the pipe.
Clear out the inside of the pipe by tapping on the end with a screwdriver.
Insert the flare nut.
1. Position the blade of the cutter so that it will cut the pipe at a perpendicular angle.
2. Rotate the pipe cutter to the left to cut the pipe.
3. Move the pipe cutter slowly.
1 . Keep the opening of the pipe
facing downwards.
2. Be careful not to scratch the inner surface of the pipe.
Make sure that all scraps of metal are out of the tube by lightly tapping on the tube while the opening is pointing down.
The cut surface will be at an angle.
The cutter will bite too tightly.
The copper pipe will be
deformed.
Scraps will get inside of the pipe.
A gas leak could result.
Metal scraps in the tube can
damage the compressor.
If the scraps adhere to the flared region, a gas leak may result.
Be certain to insert the flare nut before beginning the flare process.
The flare nut will not fit inside the copper pipe after the flare process.

Parts and material : Copper pipe, flare nut. Flare nut shallbe of attached on the indoor unit or R410A exclusive. Tools : Flare tool (“Rigid” type), reamer, pipe cutter
Pipe
Burr
Deburring
27
Work procedure
Attach the (Rigid”) flare tool to the copper pipe.
Key point
1. Make sure that the inner surfaces of the flare tool are clean.
2. Determine the dimensions of the copper pipe in accordance with the flare tool.
Align the punch. (Align the arrow with the line adjacent to the next hole.)
Flare the pipe.
Remove the flare tool and check the flared surface.
Align the arrow on the punch with the prescribed position on the flare tool.
Slowly and carefully turn the flare tool handle while it clicks, until it turns freely. Turn the handle to the left and raise it to the top.
Check list :
Is the inner surface of the flared portion equal in width and shiny?
Is the thickness of the flared portion equal?
Is the flared portion of a suitable size?
The pipe will not be flared fully.
The extended portion of the pipe (the cone-shaped portion)
will be scratched.
If the A dimension is small, the flared contact surface is smaller and a gas leak becomes more likely.
(Reason)
The copper pipe will slip out while the flaring process is in progress.
The flared dimensions vary.

5-12. Flushing
The flushing process uses gas pressure to remove foreign matter from the inside of pipes.
Three major effects
(1) Removes oxidation that formed inside of the pipe during brazing as a result of an inadequate nitrogen gas
blow procedure. (2) Removes foreign matter and moisture that has gotten inside of pipes due to improper handling. (3) Checks the connections in the pipe system between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.
[Example work procedure]
1. Install a pressure reducing valve on a nitrogen cylinder. (Fluorocarbon gases and carbon dioxide carry a risk
of promoting condensation, while oxygen causes explosion.)
2. Connect the pressure reducing valve to a gauge manifold and then to the gas-side pipe and the liquid-side
pipe on the outdoor unit.
3. On the indoor unit side, plug all gas-side pipes except those for the
indoor units that are to be flushed.
4. Open the source valve on the nitrogen cylinder and increase the
pressure on the secondary side of the pressure reducing valve until it reaches 0.5MPa (5kg/cm2G), and then open the valve on the gauge manifold connected to the gas-side pipe.
5. Flushing
Press down on the end of the indoor-side gas pipe with your palm.
When the pressure becomes so great that you can no longer hold it against the end of the pipe, remove your hand from the pipe. (This is the first flush.) Press down against the end with your hand again.
Flush the pipe a second time. (When flushing, place a piece of gauze, etc., on the end of the pipe, and then check the gauze for debris or moisture. Repeat the flushing process until nothing more comes out of the pipe.)
6. Close the gauge manifold valve, and repeat the above process for
next indoor unit (No. 2 to No. N). Close the gauge manifold valve, open the valve on the gauge manifold that is connected to the liquid­side pipe to allow the nitrogen to flow, and flush that liquid-side pipe.

5-13. Pipe Connections to the Indoor Unit
Tightening the flare nut with a torque wrench
* Avoid initially tightening the nut with a wrench. * When tightening a 6.4mm-diameter pipe, tighten the nut lightly with a wrench, and then tighten the nut about
90° to 120° (1.5 to 2 corners of the nut) with a torque wrench.
: R410A torque wrench required.

1. Once you remove the flare nut from the pipe on
the indoor unit (always use a torque wrench), a small amount of gas will escape, but this is simply nitrogen gas with atmospheric pressure that was sealed inside to prevent corrosion, and does not indicate a problem.
2. Flare the pipe according to the procedure
described previously.
3. Centering
Center the pipes be seating the tapered portion of the half union in the flared portion of the pipe.
4. Tightening the flare nut
First hand-tighten the flare nut as much as possible, and then use a torque wrench to tighten the nut completely.

5-14. Pipe Connection to the Outdoor Unit
1. The refrigerant pipe connection is inside of the outdoor unit. Remove the front panel and the pipe/wiring
panel. (Nine M5 screws)
There is one hook on the left and right sides of the front panel. Lift the front panel to release these hooks.
2. The pipe can exit the outdoor unit from the front or from
the bottom.
3. When exiting the pipe from the front of the unit, route the
pipe out of the unit through the pipe/wiring panel, and, in order to facilitate servicing of the unit in the future, maintain clearance of at least 500mm between this pipe and the main pipe connecting the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. (If it should ever be necessary to replace the compressor, at least 500mm of space will be needed.)
4. When exiting the pipe out the bottom of the unit, remove
the knockout in the bottom panel of the outdoor unit and route the pipe out of the unit through this opening. Route the pipe to the left, right or rear. Route the pipe no more than 4m below the balance pipe.
5. Use the pipe provided for the gas-side pipe connection.
Remove the L-shaped pipe that is connected to the gas­side valve and then connect the gas-side pipe. When routing the pipe out of the front of the unit, cut the pipe to length in accordance with the position of the pipe panel and then direct it forwards with the elbow piece.
REQUIREMENTS
1. In order to prevent oxidation inside of the pipe, always pass nitrogen through the pipe during brazing.
2. Use clean, new pipes for the refrigerant pipes. Handle the pipes carefully to keep moisture and dirt from getting inside of the pipes.
3. Always use a torque wrench to loosen and tighten flare nuts. It is not possible to tighten the nut adequately with a single wrench. Tighten the nut with the torque indicated in the table below.
