This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
1 Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant models, some of the piping and
installation and service tools are special. (See the table below.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant model with a new refrigerant R410A model, always replace the
conventional piping and flare nuts with the R410A piping and flare nuts.
2 Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous charging with
conventional refrigerant and for safety. Therefore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is
1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch.]
3 Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than with refrigerant models. Also, when
storing the piping, securely seal the openings by pinching, taping, etc.
4 When charging the refrigerant, take into account the slight change in the composition of the gas and liquid phases, and
always charge from the liquid phase side whose composition is stable.
5 When moving, if the compressor stops during pump down, close the valve immediately.
Special tools for R410A
Tool name
Contents of change
Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a conventional gauge. To prevent erroneous mixing of other
refrigerants, the diameter of each port has been changed.
Gauge manifold
It is recommended the gauge with seals –0.1 to 5.3 MPa (–76 cmHg to 53 kgf/cm
2
) for high pressure. –0.1 to
3.8 MPa (–76 cmHg to 38 kgf/cm
2
) for low pressure.
Charge hose
To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base size were changed.
Vacuum pump
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a vacuum pump adapter.
Gas leakage detector

GENERAL
This INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION SHEET briefly outlines where and how to install the air conditioning system. Please read over the entire set of instructions
for the indoor and outdoor units and make sure all accessory parts listed are with the system before beginning.

• • • • • Use pipe with water-resistant heat insulation.
CAUTION
Install heat insulation around both the gas and liquid pipes. Failure to do so may cause water leaks.
Use heat insulation with heat resistance above 248 °F. (Reverse cycle model only)
In addition, if the humidity level at the installation location of the refrigerant piping is expected to exceed 70%, install heat
insulation around the refrigerant piping. If the expected humidity level is 70-80%, use heat insulation that is 15 mm (19/32 in.) or
thicker and if the expected humidity exceeds 80%, use heat insulation that is 20 mm (3/4 in.) or thicker.
If heat insulation is used that is not as thick as specified, condensation may form on the surface of the insulation.
In addition, use heat insulation with heat conductivity of 0.045 W/(m·K) or less (at 68 °F).

• • • • • Install the circuit breaker nearby the units.
SELECTING THE MOUNTING POSITION
Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:
WARNING
Select installation locations that can properly support the weight of the indoor and outdoor units. Install the units securely so
that they do not topple or fall.
CAUTION
1 Do not install where there is the danger of combustible gas leakage.
2 Do not install the unit near heat source of heat, steam, or flammable gas.
3 If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that they cannot reach the unit.
INDOOR UNIT
[FOR HALF CONCEALED INSTALLATION]
(1) Install the indoor unit level on a strong wall which is not subject to vibration.
(2) The inlet and outlet ports should not be obstructed : the air should be able to
blow all over the room.
(3) Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
(4) Install the unit where connection to the outdoor unit is easy.
(5) Install the unit where the drain pipe can be easily installed.
(6) Take servicing, etc., into consideration and leave the spaces shown in the
figure. Also install the unit where the filter can be removed.

CONNECTING THE PIPE
CAUTION
1 Do not use mineral oil on flared part. Prevent mineral
oil from getting into the system as this would reduce
the lifetime of the units.
2 While welding the pipes, be sure to blow dry nitrogen
gas through them.
3 The maximum lengths of this product are shown in the
table. If the units are further apart than this, correct
operation can not be guaranteed.
1. FLARING
(1) Cut the connection pipe to the necessary length with a pipe cutter.
(2) Hold the pipe downward so that cuttings will not enter the pipe and
remove the burrs.
(3) Insert the flare nut (always use the flare nut attached to the indoor
and outdoor units respectively) onto the pipe and perform the flare
processing with a flare tool.
Use the special R410A flare tool, or the conventional flare tool.
Check if [L] is flared uniformly
and is not cracked or scratched.

The pipes are shaped by your hands. Be careful not to collapse them.
Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90
°
.
When pipes are repeatedly bend or stretched, the material will harden,
making it difficult to bend or stretch them any more. Do not bend or
stretch the pipes more than three times.
