• 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.

Air Purge
This air conditioner can be installed up to the connecting pipe length and height difference in the following table.
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 .

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 minute is required to start the operation by the remote
controller.
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.

Work procedure
1. T urn on the power supply.
2. Using the remote controller, set FAN operation to
the indoor unit.
3. Pushing the refrigerant recove ry switch on the
terminal block 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 refriger-

• 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.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKS
Recovery method of refrigerant
• When recovering refrigerant in case of reinstallation of the indoor or outdoor unit, etc., use the refrigerant recov-
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.

WARNING
Cleaning of the air filter and other parts of the air filter involves dangerous w ork in high places, so be sure
to have a service person do it.
Do not attempt it yourself .
NOTE
For Air conditioning system which is operated regularly, cleaning and maintenance of the indoor/outdoor
units are strongly recommended.
As a general rule, if an indoor unit is operated for about 8 hours daily, the indoor/outdoor units will need to
be cleaned at least once ev ery 3-MONTH. This cleaning and maintenance shall be carried out by a
qualified person.
F ailure to clean the indoor/outdoor units regularly will result in poor perf ormance, icing, water leaking and
ev en compressor failure.
3-minutes protection function prev ents the air conditioner from starting for initial 3 minutes after the main
power switch/circuit break er is turned on for re-starting the air conditioner .
Power failure
Po wer failure during operation will stop the unit completely.
• To restart the operation, push the START/STOP button on the remote controller.
• Lightning or a wireless car telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction. Turn off the main
power switch or circuit breaker and then turn them on again. Push the START/STOP b utton on the remote
controller to restart.
Heating characteristics
Preheating operation
The air conditioner will not deliver warm air immediately after it is turned on. Warm air will start to flow out
after approximately 5 minutes when the indoor heat e xchanger w armed up .
Warm air control (In heating operation)
When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the fan speed is automatically reduced to prevent
to blow cold draft. At this time, the outdoor unit will stop.
Defrosting operation
If the outdoor unit is frosted during the heating operation, defrosting starts automatically (for approximately
2 to 10 minutes) to maintain the heating capacity.
• The fans in both indoor and outdoor units will stop during the defrosting operation.
• During the defrosting operation, the defrosted water will be drained from the bottom plate of the outdoor
unit.
Heating capacity
In the heating operation, the heat is absorbed from the outside and brought into the room. This way of heating
is called heat pump system. When the outside temperature is too low, it is recommended to use another
heating apparatus in combination with the air conditioner .
Attention to snowfall and freeze on the outdoor unit
• In snowy areas, the air inlet and air outlet of the outdoor unit are often covered with snow or frozen up.
If snow or freeze on the outdoor unit is left as it is, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.
• In cold areas, pay attention to the drain hose so that it perfectly dr ains w ater without w ater remaining inside
for freeze prevention. If w ater freezes in the drain hose or inside the outdoor unit, it may cause machine
failure or poor warming.
Air conditioner operating conditions

NOTE
For Air conditioning system which is operated regularly, cleaning and maintenance of the indoor/outdoor
units are strongly recommended.
As a general rule, if an indoor unit is operated for about 8 hours daily, the indoor/outdoor units will need to
be cleaned at least once ev ery 3-MONTH. This cleaning and maintenance shall be carried out by a
qualified person.
F ailure to clean the indoor/outdoor units regularly will result in poor perf ormance, icing, water leaking and
ev en compressor failure.
3-minutes protection function prev ents the air conditioner from starting for initial 3 minutes after the main

Heating characteristics
Preheating operation
The air conditioner will not deliver warm air immediately after it is turned on. Warm air will start to flow out
after approximately 5 minutes when the indoor heat e xchanger w armed up .
Warm air control (In heating operation)
When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the fan speed is automatically reduced to prevent
to blow cold draft. At this time, the outdoor unit will stop.
Defrosting operation
If the outdoor unit is frosted during the heating operation, defrosting starts automatically (for approximately
2 to 10 minutes) to maintain the heating capacity.
• The fans in both indoor and outdoor units will stop during the defrosting operation.
• During the defrosting operation, the defrosted water will be drained from the bottom plate of the outdoor
unit.
Heating capacity
In the heating operation, the heat is absorbed from the outside and brought into the room. This way of heating
is called heat pump system. When the outside temperature is too low, it is recommended to use another
heating apparatus in combination with the air conditioner .
Attention to snowfall and freeze on the outdoor unit
• In snowy areas, the air inlet and air outlet of the outdoor unit are often covered with snow or frozen up.
If snow or freeze on the outdoor unit is left as it is, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.
• In cold areas, pay attention to the drain hose so that it perfectly dr ains w ater without w ater remaining inside
for freeze prevention. If w ater freezes in the drain hose or inside the outdoor unit, it may cause machine
failure or poor warming.

Heating characteristics
Preheating operation
The air conditioner will not deliver warm air immediately after it is turned on. Warm air will start to flow out
after approximately 5 minutes when the indoor heat e xchanger w armed up .
Warm air control (In heating operation)
When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the fan speed is automatically reduced to prevent
to blow cold draft. At this time, the outdoor unit will stop.
Defrosting operation
If the outdoor unit is frosted during the heating operation, defrosting starts automatically (for approximately
2 to 10 minutes) to maintain the heating capacity.
• The fans in both indoor and outdoor units will stop during the defrosting operation.
• During the defrosting operation, the defrosted water will be drained from the bottom plate of the outdoor
unit.
Heating capacity
In the heating operation, the heat is absorbed from the outside and brought into the room. This way of heating
is called heat pump system. When the outside temperature is too low, it is recommended to use another
heating apparatus in combination with the air conditioner .
Attention to snowfall and freeze on the outdoor unit
• In snowy areas, the air inlet and air outlet of the outdoor unit are often covered with snow or frozen up.
If snow or freeze on the outdoor unit is left as it is, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.
• In cold areas, pay attention to the drain hose so that it perfectly dr ains w ater without w ater remaining inside
for freeze prevention. If w ater freezes in the drain hose or inside the outdoor unit, it may cause machine
failure or poor warming.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
CAUTIONNew 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 pressure-resistance force
and impurity in it.
CAUTIONTo Disconnect the Appliance from Main Power Supply.
This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by means of a switch with a contact separation of
at least 3 mm.
The installation fuse (25A D type ) must be used for the power supply line of this conditioner.
WARNINGS
• 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 cable correctly.
If the connecting cable 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 resultingly 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.
• Install the air conditioner at enough strong place to withstand the weight of the unit.
If the strength is not enough, the unit may fall down resulting in injury.
• Install the air conditioner at a height 2.5m or more from the floor.
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.
CAUTION
• 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.
Upon approval of the customer, install the air conditioner in a place that satisfies the
following conditions.
• Place where the unit can be installed horizontally.
• Place where a sufficient servicing space can be ensured for safety maintenance and check.
• Place where drained water will not cause any problem.

• Perform the electric wiring so that it does not come to contact with the high-temperature part of the pipe.
The coating may melt resulting in an accident.
• After connecting cables to the terminal blocks, provide a trap and fix cables with the cable clamp.
• Run the refrigerant piping line and control wiring line in the same line.
• Do not turn on the power of the indoor unit until vacuuming of the refrigerant pipes completes.
Remote controller wiring
2-core non polarity cable is used for the remote controller wiring.
How to wire
1. Connect the connecting cable to the terminal as identified with their respective numbers on the terminal block of
indoor and outdoor unit. H07 RN-F or 245 IEC 66 (1.5 mm2 or more)
2. Insulate the unsheathed redundant cords (conductors) with electrical insulation tape.
Process them so that they do not touch any electrical or metal parts.
3. For inter-unit wiring, do not use a wire jointed to another on the way.
• Be sure to connect the cables matching the terminal numbers. Incorrect connection causes a trouble.
• Be sure to pass the cables through the bushing of cabling connection port of the indoor unit.
• Keep a margin (Approx. 100mm) on a cable to hang down the electric parts box at servicing, etc.
• The low-voltage circuit is provided for the remote controller. (Do not connect the high-voltage circuit)
• Remove the cover of the electric parts box by taking off the mounting screws (3 positions) and pushing the
hooking section. (The cover of the electric parts box remains hanged to the hinge.)
• Connect the indoor/outdoor connection cables and REMOCON cable to the terminal block of the electric parts
box. (Do not apply tension to the connecting section of the terminal block.)
• Tighten the screws of the terminal block, and fix the cables with cord clamp attached to the electric parts box.
(Do not apply tension to the connecting section of the terminal block.)
• Using the attached thermal insulation material, seal the pipe connecting port. Otherwise, dewing may be caused.
• Mount the cover of the electric parts box without pinching cables.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
CAUTIONNew 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 pressure-resistance force
and impurity in it.
CAUTIONTo Disconnect the Appliance from Main Power Supply.
This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by means of a switch with a contact separation of
at least 3 mm.
The installation fuse (25A D type ) must be used for the power supply line of this conditioner.
WARNINGS
• 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 cable correctly.
If the connecting cable 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 may resultingly 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.
• Install the air conditioner at enough strong place to withstand the weight of the unit.
If the strength is not enough, the unit may fall down resulting in injury.
• Install the air conditioner at a height 2.5m or more from the floor.
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.
CAUTION
• 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.
Upon approval of the customer, install the air conditioner in a place that satisfies the following conditions.
• Place where the unit can be installed horizontally.
• In the process after removing the ceiling panel, it important to reinforce the groundwork (framework) and keep
a level correctly of the existing ceiling to prevent vibration of the ceiling panel.
• Place where a sufficient servicing space can be ensured for safety maintenance and check.
• Place where drained water will not cause any 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. (Before air ducting work, check whether value of air volume, static pressure and
duct resistance are correct.)
