31m to 70m
* Caution at addition of refrigerant
When the total length of refrigerant pipe exceeds
30m, add 40g/m of refrigerant and the maximum total
length of pipe is 70m.
(Max. amount of additional refrigerant is 1600g.)
Charge the refrigerant accurately. Overcharge may
cause a serious trouble of compressor.
Air purge
• For air purge, use a vacuum pump.
• Do not use refrigerant charged in the outdoor unit for
air purge. (The refrigerant for air purge is not con-

Installation Place
• A place which provides a specified space around the
outdoor unit.
• A place where the operation noise and discharged air
are not given to your neighbors.
• A place that is not exposed to a strong wind.
• A place that does not block a passage.
• When the outdoor unit is installed in an elevated
position, be sure to secure its feet.
• There must be sufficient space for carrying in the
unit.
• A place where the drain water does not make any
problem.
CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit at a place where dis-
charge air is not blocked.
2. When an outdoor unit is installed in a place that
is always exposed to a strong wind like a coast
or on a high storey of a building, secure a
normal fan operation by using a duct or a wind
shield.
3. When installing the outdoor unit in a place that is
constantly exposed to a strong wind such as the
upper stairs or rooftop of a building, apply the
windproof measures referring to the following
examples.
1) Install the unit so that its
discharge port faces to the
wall of the building. Keep a
distance 500 mm or more
between the unit and the
wall surface.
2) Supposing the wind direction during the
operation season of the air conditioner, install
the unit so that the discharge port is set at
right angle to the wind direction.

4. Installation in the following places may result in
some troubles. Do not install the unit in such
places below.
• A place full of machine oil.
• A place full of sulphuric gas.
• A place where high-frequency radio waves are
