1. Safety precautions
1.1. Before installation
Caution:
• Do not use the unit in an unusual environment. If the air conditioner is
installed in areas exposed to steam, volatile oil (including machine oil), or
sulfuric gas, areas exposed to high salt content such as the seaside, or areas
where the unit will be covered by snow, the performance can be significantly
reduced and the internal parts can be damaged.
• Do not install the unit where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow,
or accumulate. If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, fire or explo-
sion may result.
• The outdoor unit produces condensation during the heating operation. Make
sure to provide drainage around the outdoor unit if such condensation is
likely to cause damage.
• When installing the unit in a hospital or communications office, be prepared
for noise and electronic interference. Inverters, home appliances, high-
frequency medical equipment, and radio communications equipment can
cause the air conditioner to malfunction or breakdown. The air conditioner
may also affect medical equipment, disturbing medical care, and communi-
cations equipment, harming the screen display quality.
1.2. Before installation (relocation)
Caution:
• Be extremely careful when transporting the units. 2 or more persons are
needed to handle the unit, as it weighs 20 kg (44 lbs) or more. Do not grasp
the packaging bands. Wear protective gloves to remove the unit from the
packaging and to move it, as you can injure your hands on the fins or the
edge of other parts.
• Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging materials. Packaging materials,
such as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause stabs or other
injuries.
1.3. Before electric work
Caution:
• Be sure to install circuit breakers. If not installed, electric shock may result.
• Please follow applicable federal, state, or local codes to prevent potential
leakage/electric shock. Or install a ground fault interrupt for the prevention
of leakage and electric shock.
• 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.
1.4. Before starting the test run
Caution:
• Turn on the main power switch more than 12 hours before starting operation.
Starting operation just after turning on the power switch can severely damage
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.
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 thickness. (Refer to
page 6) Note the following if reusing existing pipes that carried 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 dete-
rioration 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.
• Do not use refrigerant other than R410A refrigerant. If another refrigerant is
used, the chlorine will cause the oil to deteriorate.
• Follow the instructions below to prevent abrasive components contained in
sandpaper and cutting tools from entering the refrigerant circuit because
those components can cause failures of the compressor and valves.
- To deburr pipes, use a reamer or other deburring tools, not sandpaper.
- To cut pipes, use a pipe cutter, not a grinder or other tools that use abrasive
materials.
- When cutting or deburring pipes, do not allow cutting chips or other foreign matters
to enter the pipes.
- If cutting chips or other foreign matters enter pipes, wipe them off the inside of
the pipes.
• The base and attachments of the outdoor unit must be periodically checked
for looseness, cracks or other damage. If such defects are left uncorrected,
the unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.
• Do not clean the air conditioner unit with water. Electric shock may result.
• Tighten all flare nuts to specification using a torque wrench. If tightened too
much, the flare nut can break after an extended period and refrigerant can
leak out.
• Be sure to ground the unit. Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water
pipes, lightning rods, or telephone grounding lines. If the unit is not prop-
erly 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.
• 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 5 minutes before turning off
the main power switch. Otherwise, water leakage or breakdown may result.
• 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.
Tools (for R410A)
Gauge manifold
Charge hose
Gas leak detector
Torque wrench
• Be sure to use the correct tools. If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refriger-
ant lines, refrigeration oil deterioration may result.
• Do not use a charging cylinder. If a charging cylinder is used, the composition
of the refrigerant will change and the efficiency will be lowered.

Size adjustment gauge
Vacuum pump adapter
