2 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
ENGLISH
• Do not excessively cool indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more
electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air guide vane vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air efficiently.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air condi-
tioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

- If the cover and panel are not installed securely, dust or water may enter the outdoor unit and fire
or electric shock may result.
• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to prevent the refrigerant
concentration from exceeding the safety limit when the refrigerant leaks.
- Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate measures to prevent the safety limit from being ex-
ceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the safety limit to be exceeded, harzards due to lack
of oxygen in the room could result.
• Do not turn on the breaker or power under condition that front panel, cabinet, top cover, control box
cover are removed or opened. Otherwise, it may cause fire, electric shock, explosion or death.

Preparation of Piping
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following
procedure.
! CAUTION
• Always use a charge hose for service port connection.
• After tightening the cap, check that no refrigerant leaks are present.
• When loosening a flare nut, always use two wrenches in Union
combination, When connecting the piping, always use a spanner and
torque wrench in combination to tighten the flare nut.
• When connecting a flare nut, coat the flare(inner and outer faces)
with oil for R410A(PVE) and hand tighten the nut 3 to 4 turns as the
initial tightening.

Nitrogen substitution method
Welding, as when heating without nitrogen substitution a large amount of the oxide film is
formed on the internal piping.
The oxide film is a caused by clogging EEV, Capillary, oil hole of accumulator and suction hole of
oil pump in compressor.
It prevents normal operation of the compressor.
In order to avoid this problem, Welding should be done after replacing air by nitrogen gas.
When welding plumbing pipe, the work is required.

Leak Test and Vacuum drying
Leak test
Leak test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8 MPa(38.7 kgf/cm2). If the pressure
does not drop for 24 hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, check where the
nitrogen leaks. For the test method, refer to the following figure. (Make a test with the service
valves closed. Be also sure to pressurize liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common
pipe)
The test result can be judged good if the pressure has not be reduced after leaving for about one
day after completion of nitrogen gas pressurization.

! WARNING
Use a vacuum pump or Inert(nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge. Do not com-
press air or Oxygen and do not use Flammable gases. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explo-
sion.
- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.
! NOTE
If the ambient temperature differs between the time when pressure is applied and when the pressure drop is
checked, apply the following correction factor
There is a pressure change of approximately 0.1 kg/cm2 (0.01 MPa) for each 1 °C of temperature difference.
Correction= (Temp. at the time of pressurization – Temp. at the time of check) X 0.1
For example: Temperature at the time of pressurization (3.8 MPa) is 27 °C
24 hour later: 3.73 MPa, 20 °C
In this case the pressure drop of 0.07 is because of temperature drop
And hence there is no leakage in pipe occurred.
! CAUTION
To prevent the nitrogen from entering the refrigeration system in the liquid state, the top of
the cylinder must be at higher position than the bottom when you pressurize the system.
Usually the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.
46 PIPE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT

Vacuum
Vacuum drying should be made from the service port provided on the outdoor unit’s service valve to the
vacuum pump commonly used for liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe. (Make Vacuum
from liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe with the service valve closed.)
* Never perform air purging using refrigerant.
• Vacuum drying: Use a vacuum pump that can evacuate to -100.7 kPa (5 Torr, -755 mmHg).
- Evacuate the system from the liquid and gas pipes with a vacuum pump for over 2 hrs and bring
the system to -100.7 kPa. After maintaining system under that condition for over 1 hr, confirm
the vacuum gauge rises. The system may contain moisture or leak.
- Following should be executed if there is a possibility of moisture remaining inside the pipe.
(Rainwater may enter the pipe during work in the rainy season or over a long period of time)
After evacuating the system for 2 hrs, give pressure to the system to 0.05 MPa(vacuum break)
with nitrogen gas and then evacuate it again with the vacuum pump for 1hr to -100.7 kPa(vac-
uum drying). If the system cannot be evacuated to -100.7 kPa within 2 hrs, repeat the steps of
vacuum break and its drying. Finally, check if the vacuum gauge does not rise or not, after main-
taining the system in vacuum for 1 hr.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
CAUTION
- Follow ordinance of your governmental organization for technical standard related to electrical
equipment, wiring regulations and guidance of each electric power company.
! WARNING
Be sure to have authorized electrical engineers do the electric work using special circuits in
accordance with regulations and this installation manual. If power supply circuit has a lack of
capacity or electric work deficiency, it may cause an electric shock or fire.
- Install the Outdoor Unit communication cable away from the power source wiring so that it is not af-
fected by electric noise from the power source. (Do not run it through the same conduit.)
- Be sure to provide designated grounding work to Outdoor Unit.
! CAUTION
Be sure to correct the outdoor unit to earth. Do not connect ground wire to any gas pipe, liquid
pipe, lightening rod or telephone earth line. If earth is incomplete, it may cause an electric shock.
- Give some allowance to wiring for electrical part box of Indoor and Outdoor Units, because the
box is sometimes removed at the time of service work.
- Never connect the main power source to terminal block of communication cable. If connected,
electrical parts will be burnt out.
- Use 2-core shield cable for communication cable.(O mark in the figure below) If communication
cable of different systems are wired with the same multiplecore cable, the resultant poor trans-
mitting and receiving will cause erroneous operations. ( mark in the figure below)
- Only the communication cable specified should be connected to the terminal block for Outdoor
Unit communication.
! CAUTION
• Use the 2-core shield cables for communication cables. Never use them together with power
cables.
• The conductive shielding layer of cable should be grounded to the metal part of both units.
• Never use multi-core cable
• As this unit is equipped with an inverter, to install a phase leading capacitor not only will deteri-
orate power factor improvement effect, but also may cause capacitor abnormal heating. There-
fore, never install a phase leading capacitor.
• Make sure that the power unbalance ratio is not greater than 2%. If it is greater the units lifes-
pan will be reduced.
- For wiring, use the designated power cable and connect firmly, then secure to prevent outside
pressure being exerted on the terminal block.
- Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terinal screws. A screwdriver with a small
head will strip the head and make proper tighterning impossible.
- Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.
! CAUTION
When the 400 volt power supply is applied to “N” phase by mistake, check damaged parts in
control box and replace them.

Control box and connecting position of wiring
- Remove all of the screws at front panel and remove the panel by pulling it forward.
- Connect communication cable between Master and Slave outdoor unit through the terminal
block.
- Connect communication cables between outdoor unit and indoor units through the terminal
block.
- When the central control system is connected to the outdoor unit, a dedicated PCB must be
connected between them.
- When connecting communication cable between outdoor unit and indoor units with shielded
cable, connect the shield ground to the earth screw.

! NOTE
• The figures are based on assumed length of parallel cabling up to 100 m. For length in ex-
cess of 100 m the figures will have to be recalculated in direct proportion to the additional
length of cable involved.
• If the power supply waveform continues to exhibit some distortion the recommended
spacing in the table should be increased.
- If the cable are laid inside conduits then the following point must also be taken into ac-
count when grouping various cable together for introduction into the conduits
- Power cable(including power supply to air conditioner) and communication cables
must not be laid inside the same
- In the same way, when grouping the power wires and communication cables should not
be bunched together.
! CAUTION
If apparatus is not properly earthed then there is always a risk of electric shocks, the earthing of
the apparatus must be carried out by a qualified person.
ELECTRICAL WIRING 53
ENGLISH
Wiring of main power supply and equipment capacity
- Use a separate power supply for the Outdoor Unit and Indoor Unit.
- Bear in mind ambient conditions (ambient temperature,direct sunlight, rain water,etc.) when
proceeding with the wiring and connections.
- The cable size is the minimum value for metal conduit wiring. The power cord size should be 1
rank thicker taking into account the line voltage drops. Make sure the power-supply voltage
does not drop more than 10%.
- Specific wiring requirements should adhere to the wiring regulations of the region.
- Power supply cords of parts of appliances for outdoor use should not be lighter than polychloro-
prene sheathed flexible cord.
- Don't install an individual switch or electrical outlet to disconnect each of indoor unit separately
from the power supply.
! WARNING
• Follow ordinance of your governmental organization for technical standard related to elec-
trical equipment, wiring regulations and guidance of each electric power company.
• Make sure to use specified cables for connections so that no external force is imparted to
terminal connections. If connections are not fixed firmly, it may cause heating or fire.
• Make sure to use the appropriate type of overcurrent protection switch. Note that gener-
ated overcurrent may include some amount of direct current.
! CAUTION
• Some installation site may require attachment of an earth leakage breaker. If no earth leakage
breaker is installed, it may cause an electric shock.
• Do not use anything other than breaker and fuse with correct capacity. Using fuse and wire or
copper wire with too large capacity may cause a malfunction of unit or fire.

CAUTION FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK
The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regula-
tions or standards.
The following standards may be applicable if local regulations are not available.
Introduction
Though the R410A refrigerant is harmless and incombustible itself , the room to equip the air
conditioner should be large to such an extent that the refrigerant gas will not exceed the limiting
concentration even if the refrigerant gas leaks in the room.
Limiting concentration
Limiting concentration is the limit of Freon gas concentration where immediate measures can
be taken without hurting human body when refrigerant leaks in the air. The limiting concen-
tration shall be described in the unit of kg/m3 (Freon gas weight per unit air volume) for facili-
tating calculation.
Limiting concentration: 0.44 kg/m3(R410A)
