CAUTION
Match the terminal block numbers and connection cable colors with those of the outdoor unit or branch box. Incorrect wiring may cause a ¿ re.
Connect the connection cables ¿ rmly to the terminal block. Imperfect installation may cause a ¿ re.
When ¿ xing the connection cable with the cable clamp, always fasten the cable at the plastic jacket portion, but not at the insulator portion.
If the insulator is chafed, electric leakage may occur.
Do not use an earth screw for an external connector. Only use for interconnection between two units.
To avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere at the time of relocation or disposal, recover refrigerant by doing the cooling operation or forced cool-
ing operation according to the following procedure. (When the cooling operation cannot start in winter, and so on, start the forced cooling operation.)
(1) Do the air purging of the charge hose by connecting the charging hose of gauge manifold to the charging port of 3 way valve and opening the low-
pressure valve slightly.
(2) Close the valve stem of 2 way valve completely.
(3) Start the cooling operation or following forced cooling operation.
Keep on pressing the MANUAL AUTO button of the indoor unit for more than 10 seconds.
The operation indicator lamp and timer indicator lamp will begin to À ash simultaneously during test run.
(The forced cooling operation cannot start if the MANUAL AUTO button is not kept on pressing for more than 10 seconds.)
(4) Close the valve stem of 3 way valve when the reading on the compound pressure gage becomes 0.05~0 MPa (7.25~0 psi).
(5) Stop the operation.
• Press the START/STOP button of the remote control unit to stop the operation.
• Press the MANUAL AUTO button when stopping the operation from indoor unit side.
(It is not necessary to press on keeping for more than 10 seconds.)
CAUTION
During the pump-down operation, make sure that the compressor is turned off before you remove the refrigerant piping.
Do not remove the connection pipe while the compressor is in operation with 2 way or 3 way valve open. This may cause abnormal pres-
sure in the refrigeration cycle that leads to rupture and even injury.
CONNECTION
(1) Install the outdoor unit wall cap (supplied with the optional installation set or pro-
cured at the site) to the wall pipe.
(2) Connect the outdoor unit and indoor unit piping.
(3) After matching the center of the À are surface and tightening the nut hand tight,
tighten the nut to the speci¿ ed tightening torque with a torque wrench.(Table 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 À are nut onto the pipe and À are the
pipe with a À aring tool.
Insert the À are nut (always use the À are nut attached
to the indoor and outdoor units respectively) onto
the pipe and perform the À are processing with a
À are tool.
Use the special R410A À are tool, or the conven-
tional (for R22) À are tool.
When using the conventional À are tool, always use
an allowance adjustment gauge and secure the A
dimension shown in table 2 .
BENDING PIPES
(1) When bending the pipe, be careful not to crush it.
(2) To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends.
Bend the pipe with a radius of curvature of 2-13/16° (70mm) or over.
(3)
If the copper pipe is bend the pipe or pulled to often, it will become stiff.
Do not bend the pipes more than three times at one place.
Check if [L] is À ared uniformly and is
not cracked or scratched.

(1) Fasten a À are nut with a torque wrench as instructed in this manual. If
fastened too tight, the À are nut may be broken after a long period of time
and cause a leakage of refrigerant.
(2) During installation, make sure that the refrigerant pipe is attached ¿ rmly
before you run the compressor. Do not operate the compressor under the
condition of refrigerant piping not attached properly with 2-way or 3-way
valve open. This may cause abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle
that leads to rupture and even injury.

1. Check if the piping connections are secure.
2. Check that the stems of 2-way valve and 3-way valve are closed fully.
3. Connect the gauge manifold charge hose to the charging port of the 3-way
valve (side with the projection for pushing in the valve core).
4. Open the low pressure side valve of the gauge manifold fully.
5. Operate the vacuum pump and start pump down.
6. Slowly loosen the À are nut of the 3-way valve and check if air enters, then
retighten the À are nut.
(When the À are nut is loosened the operating sound of the vacuum pump
changes and the reading of the compound pressure gauge goes from
minus to zero.)
AIR PURGE
Always use a vacuum pump to purge the air.
Refrigerant for purging the air is not charged in the
outdoor unit at the factory.
Close the high pressure side valve of the gauge manifold fully and do not
operate it during the following work.
7. Pump down the system for at least 15 minutes, then check if the compound
pressure gauge reads -0.1 MPa (30 in.Hg ).
8. At the end of pump down, close the low pressure side gauge of the gauge
manifold fully and stop the vacuum pump.
9.
Slowly loosen the valve stem of the 3-way valve. When the compound pressure
gauge reading reaches 0.1-0.2 MPa (14.5~28.9 psi), retighten the valve stem
and disconnect the charge hose from the 3-way valve charging port.
(If the stem of the 3-way valve is opened fully before the charge hose is
disconnected, it may be dif¿ cult to disconnect the charge hose.)
10. Fully open the valve stems of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve using a hexagon
wrench. (After the valve stem begins to turn, turn it with a torque of less than 2.9
N • m (30 kgf • cm) until it stops turning.)
11. Firmly tighten the 2-way valve and 3-way valve blank cap and the charging
port cap.
CAUTION
(1)
Refrigerant must not be discharged into atmosphere.
(2) After connecting the piping , check the joints for gas
leakage with gas leak detector.
Additional charge
Refrigerant suitable for a piping length of 49 ft (15 m) is charged in the outdoor
unit at the factory.
When the piping is longer than 49 ft (15 m), additional charging is necessary.
For the additional amount, see the table below.
