• Ensure that all Local, National and International regulations are satisfied.
• Read this “PRECA UTIONS FOR SAFETY” 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 Owner’s 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 Owner’s Manual.
• THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT DE-
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 ne w 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 pressure-resistance
force and impurity in it.

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 cables for wiring connect the terminals securely fix. To prevent external
forces applied to the terminals from affecting the terminals.
• Be sure to provide grounding.
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or g round wires for telephone cables.
• 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.

Capacity rank
SM56 type
SM80 type
With respect to the preservation of terrestrial environment, adopt “Vacuum pump” for air purge (Evacuate air in
the connecting pipes) when installing the unit.
• Do not discharge the refrigerant gas to the atmosphere to preserve the terrestrial environment.
• Use a vacuum pump to discharge the air (nitrogen, etc.) remained in the set. If the air remains, the capacity
may decrease.
For the vacuum pump, be sure to use one with backflow preventer so that the oil in the pump does not backflow
into the pipe of the air conditioner when the pump stops. (If oil in the vacuum pump is put in an air conditioner
including R410A, it may cause trouble on the refrigeration cycle .)

Check and Test Operation
For R410A, use the leak detector exclusively manufactured for
HFC refrigerant (R410A, R134a, etc.).
* The conv entional leak detector for HCFC refrigerant
(R22, etc.) cannot be used because its sensitivity for HFC
refrigerant lowers to approx. 1/40.
• Pressure of R410A is approx. 1.6 times higher than that of R22.
If installation work is incompletely finished, a gas leakage may
occur when pressure rises during operation.
Therefore, be sure to test the piping connections for leakage.
• Check gas leakage at the flare nut connections, valve stem cap
connections and service port cap fittings with a leak detector or
soap water .

Installation/Servicing Tools
In the case of an air conditioner using R410A, in order to prevent any other refr igerant from being charged accidentally,
service por t diameter of the outdoor unit control valve (3 way valve) has been changed. (1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch)
• In order to increase the pressure resisting strength of the refrigerant piping flare processing diameter and size of
opposite side of flare nuts has been changed. (for copper pipes with nominal dimensions 1/2 and 5/8)

Changes
As pressure is high, it is impossible to measure by means of conventional
gauge. In order to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged, each
port diameter is changed.
In order to increase pressure resisting strength, hose materials and port
size are changed (to 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch).
When purchasing a charge hose, be sure to check the port size.
As pressure is high and gasification speed is fast, it is difficult to read the
indicated value by means of charging cylinder, as air bubbles occur.
The sizes of opposite sides of flare nuts have been increased. Incidentally, a common wrench is used for nominal diameters 1/4 and 3/8.
By increasing the clamp bar’s receiving hole, strength of spring in the tool
has been improved.
Used when flare is made with using conventional flare tool.
Connected to the conventional vacuum pump. It is necessary to use an
adapter to prevent vacuum pump oil from flowing back to the charge hose.
The charge hose connecting part has two ports - one for conventional
refrigerant (7/16 UNF 20 threads per inch) and the other for R410A. If the
vacuum pump oil (mineral) mixes with R410A, sludge may occur and
damage the equipment.
Exclusive for HFC refrigerant.
• Incidentally, the “refrigerant cylinder” comes with the refrigerant designation (R410A) and protector coating in the
U.S.’s ARI specified rose color (ARI color code: PMS 507).
• Also, the “charge port and packing for refrigerant cylinder” require 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch corresponding to the
charge hose’s port size.

Recovery method of refrigerant
• When recovering refrigerant in case of reinstallation
of the indoor or outdoor unit, etc., use the refrigerant
recovery switch on the terminal block of the outdoor
unit.

• THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT
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 ne w 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 pressure-resistance
force and impurity in it.

EVACUATING
Air Purge
This air conditioner can be installed up to the connecting pipe length and height difference in the following table.
Capacity rank
SM110, SM140 type
With respect to the preservation of terrestrial environment, adopt “Vacuum pump” for air purge (Evacuate air in
the connecting pipes) when installing the unit.
• Do not discharge the refrigerant gas to the atmosphere to preserve the terrestrial environment.
• Use a vacuum pump to discharge the air (nitrogen, etc.) remained in the set. If the air remains, the capacity
may decrease.
For the vacuum pump, be sure to use one with backflow preventer so that the oil in the pump does not backflow
into the pipe of the air conditioner when the pump stops. (If oil in the vacuum pump is put in an air conditioner
including R410A, it may cause trouble on the refrigeration cycle .)

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKS
Check and Test Operation
For R410A, use the leak detector e xclusiv ely manufactured for HFC refrigerant (R410A, R134a, etc.).
The conventional leak detector for HCFC refrigerant (R22, etc.) cannot be used because its sensitivity for HFC
*
refrigerant lowers to approx. 1/40.
• Pressure of R410A is approx. 1.6 times higher than that of R22.
If installation work is incompletely finished, a gas leakage may occur when pressure rises during operation.
Therefore, be sure to test the piping connections for leakage.
• Check gas leakage at the flare nut connections, valve stem cap connections and service port cap fittings with a
leak detector or soap water.
CAUTION
When the remote controller is used for the first time, it accepts an operation approx. 5 minutes after the power
supply has been turned on.
It is not a trouble, b ut is because the setup of the remote controller is being checked.
For the second pow er-ON time and after, approx. 1 mun ute is required to start the operation by the remote controller .
Useful Functions
In addition to the code checking by remote controller of the indoor unit, troub les of the outdoor unit can be diagnosed by LED indications on the cycle control P.C. board of the outdoor unit. Utilize them for various chec ks.
For the check by remote controller of the indoor unit, refer to the Installation Manual of the indoor unit.
Before a check, confirm each bit of the DIP switch SW801 is set to OFF position.

ery switch SW802 on the cycle control P.C. board of the outdoor unit.
Work procedure
1. T urn on the power supply.
2. Using the remote controller, set F AN operation to the indoor unit.
3. Pushing the refrigerant recovery switch
SW802 on the cycle control P.C. board of the
outdoor unit starts the forced cooling operation. (Max. 10 minutes), and then the refrigerant is recovered by operation of the valve.
4. After recovery of the refrigerant, push the
refrigerant recovery switch SW802 together
with closing the valve .
The operation stops.
5. T u rn off the power supply.
Installation/Servicing Tools
In the case of an air conditioner using R410A, in order to prevent any other refr igerant from being charged accidentally,
service por t diameter of the outdoor unit control valve (3 way valve) has been changed. (1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch)
• In order to increase the pressure resisting strength of the refrigerant piping flare processing diameter and size of
opposite side of flare nuts has been changed. (for copper pipes with nominal dimensions 1/2 and 5/8)
Take care for an electric shock because the
control P.C. board is electrified.

Changes
As pressure is high, it is impossible to measure by means of conventional
gauge. In order to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged, each
port diameter is changed.
In order to increase pressure resisting strength, hose materials and port
size are changed (to 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch).
When purchasing a charge hose, be sure to check the port size.
As pressure is high and gasification speed is fast, it is difficult to read the
indicated value by means of charging cylinder, as air bubbles occur.
The size of opposite sides of flare nuts have been increased. Incidentally,
a common wrench is used for nominal diameters 1/4 and 3/8.
By increasing the clamp bar’s receiving hole, strength of spring in the tool
has been improved.
Used when flare is made with using conventional flare tool.
Connected to the conventional vacuum pump. It is necessary to use an
adapter to prevent vacuum pump oil from flowing back to the charge hose.
The charge hose connecting part has two por ts-one for conventional
refrigerant (7/16 UNF 20 threads per inch) and one for R410A.
If the vacuum pump oil (mineral) mixes with R410A a sludge may occur
and damage the equipment.
Exclusive for HFC refrigerant.
• Incidentally, the “refrigerant cylinder” comes with the refrigerant designation (R410A) and protector coating in the
U,S.’s ARI specified rose color (ARI color code: PMS 507).
• Also, the “charge port and packing for refrigerant cylinder” require 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch corresponding to the
charge hose’s port size.

You can response to the following items by attaching the parts sold separately “Application
control kit” (TCB-PCOS1E).
Demand control
• It saves the capacity of the outdoor unit by outside Demand signal to correspond to the tempor ary peak cut.
• The capacity saving can be adjusted with three steps, 75%, 50%, and operation stop.
Night operation control (Sound reduction)
Sound is controlled to 45dB or less in inputting a timer point contact.
Compressor operation output
The check of the compressor operation time required of a maintenance etc.
