1. Safety
precautions
1.3. Before electric work
Caution:
• Be sure to install circuit breakers.
If not installed, electric shock may result.
• For the power lines, use standard cables
of sufficient
capacity.
Otherwise,
a
short circuit,
overheating,
or fire may result.
• When installing
the power lines, do not apply
tension to the cables.
If the
connections
are loosened,
the cables
can snap or break and overheating
or
fire may result.
• Be sure to ground
the unit. Do not connect
the ground
wire to gas or water
pipes, lighting
rods, or telephone
grounding
lines. If the unit is not properly
grounded,
electric
shock
may result.
• Use circuit
breakers
(ground
fault
interrupter,
isolating
switch
(+B fuse),
and molded
case circuit
breaker)
with the specified
capacity.
If the circuit
breaker
capacity
is larger
than
the specified
capacity,
breakdown
or fire
may result.
1.4. Before starting the test run
Caution:
• Turn on the main power switch
more than 12 hours before starting
opera-
tion.
Starting
operation just after turning
on the power switch can severely dam-
age the internal
parts. Keep the main power switch
turned
on during the
operation
season.
• Before starting operation,
check that all panels, guards and other protective
parts are correctly
installed.
Rotating,
hot, or high voltage
parts can cause
injuries.
• Do not touch any switch
with wet hands.
Electric shock may result.
• Do not touch
the refrigerant
pipes
with
bare hands
during
operation.
The
refrigerant
pipes
are hot or cold depending
on the condition
of the flowing
refrigerant.
If you touch
the pipes, burns or frostbite
may result.
• After
stopping
operation,
be sure to wait
at least five minutes
before
turn-
ing off the main power switch.
Otherwise,
water
leakage
or breakdown
may
result.
1.5. Using R410A refrigerant
air conditioners
_,
Caution
• Use C1220
copper
phosphorus,
for copper
and copper
alloy
seamless
pipes, to connect the refrigerant
pipes. Make sure the insides
of the pipes
are clean and do not contain
any harmful
contaminants
such as sulfuric
compounds,
oxidants,
debris,
or dust. Use pipes with the specified
thick-
ness. (Refer to page 6) Note the following
if reusing existing
pipes that car-
ried R22 refrigerant.
- Replace the existing flare nuts and flare the flared sections again.
- Do not use thin pipes. (Refer to page 6)
• Store the pipes
to be used during
installation
indoors
and keep both
ends
of the pipes
sealed
until just
before
brazing.
(Leave
elbow
joints,
etc.
in
their packaging.)
If dust, debris,
or moisture
enters
the refrigerant
lines, oil
deterioration
or compressor
breakdown
may result.
• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene
oil (small
amount)
as the refrigeration
oil applied
to the flared
sections.
If mineral
oil is mixed in the refrigeration
oil, oil deterioration
may result.
2. Installation
diagram
& parts
• Do not use refrigerant
other than
R410A refrigerant.
If another
refrigerant
is
used, the chlorine
will cause the oil to deteriorate.
• Use the following
tools
specifically
designed
for use with
R410A refrigerant.
The following
tools
are necessary
to use R410A
refrigerant.
Contact
your
nearest
dealer for any questions.
Gauge manifold
Charge hose
Gas leak detector
Torque wrench
Tools (for R410A)
Flare tool
Size adjustment
gauge
Vacuum pump adapter
Electronic
refrigerant charging scale
• Be sure to use the correct
tools. If dust,
debris,
or moisture
enters
the re-
frigerant
lines, refrigeration
oil deterioration
may result.
• Do not use a charging
cylinder.
If a charging
cylinder
is used, the composi-
tion of the refrigerant
will change
and the efficiency
will be lowered.

necessary
for the installation
must comply with the local
building code requirements.
This diagram
is intended to show the configuration
of accessories.
For actual installation,
the outdoor unit is to be turned 180 ° .
Units should be installed by licensed contractor
according
to local code require-
ment.
Note:
The dimensions
given along the arrows above are required
to guarantee
the
air conditioner's
performance.
Install
the unit
in as wide
a place as possible
for later service
or repairs.
