Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:
INDOOR UNIT
(1) Install the indoor unit level on a strong wall, floor, ceiling which is not subject to vibration.
(2) The inlet and outlet por ts should not be obstructed : the air should be able to blow all over the room.
(3) Install the unit near an electr ic outlet or special branch circuit.
(4) Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
(5) Install the unit where connection to the outdoor unit is easy.
(6) Install the unit where the drain pipe can be easily installed.
(7) Take servicing, etc., into consideration and leave the spaces as shown in the figure. Also install the unit where the filter can be removed.
SELECTING THE MOUNTING POSITION
WARNING
Install at a place that can withstand the weight of the indoor and outdoor units and install positively so that the units will not
topple or fall.
CAUTION
1 Do not install where there is the danger of combustible gas leakage.
2 Do not install near heat sources.
3 If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that they cannot reach the unit.

Do not install the unit so that the drain hose side is too
high. Height A should be less than 5 mm.
Be sure to arrange the drain hose so that it is leveled lower than the drain
hose connecting port of the indoor unit.
Wrap the insulation (drain hose) around the drain hose connection.
Remark: The main unit can be wired before the indoor unit is in-
stalled. Select the most appropriate installation order.

set or procured at the site) to the wall hole pipe.
(3) Connect the outdoor unit and indoor unit piping.
(4) After matching the center of the flare surface and tightening the nut
hand tight, tighten the nut to the specified tightening torque with a
torque wrench.

INSTRUCTION SHEET
(PART NO. 9375754020)
For authorized service personnel only.
Contents of change
Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a conventional gauge. To prevent erroneous mixing of other
refrigerants, the diameter of each port has been changed.
It is recommended the gauge with seals –0.1 to 5.3 MPa (–76 cmHg to 53 kgf/cm
2
) for high pressure. –0.1 to
3.8 MPa (–76 cmHg to 38 kgf/cm
2
) for low pressure.
To increase pressure resistance, the hose mater ial and base size were changed.
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a vacuum pump adapter.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT
CAUTION
Install heat insulation around both the gas and liquid pipes. Failure to do so may cause water leaks.
Use heat insulation with heat resistance above 120 °C. (Reverse cycle model only)
In addition, if the humidity level at the installation location of the refrigerant piping is expected to exceed 70 %, install heat
insulation around the refrigerant piping. If the expected humidity level is 70-80 %, use heat insulation that is 15 mm or thicker and
if the expected humidity exceeds 80 %, use heat insulation that is 20 mm or thicker.
If heat insulation is used that is not as thick as specified, condensation may form on the surface of the insulation.
In addition, use heat insulation with heat conductivity of 0.045 W/(m·K) or less (at 20 °C).

CONNECTING THE PIPE
CAUTION
1 Do not use mineral oil on flared part. Prevent mineral
oil from getting into the system as this would reduce
the lifetime of the units.
2 While welding the pipes, be sure to blow dry nitrogen
gas through them.
3 The maximum lengths of this product are shown in the
table. If the units are further apart than this, correct
operation can not be guaranteed.
1. FLARING
(1) Cut the connection pipe to the necessar y length with a pipe cutter.
(2) Hold the pipe downward so that cuttings will not enter the pipe and
remove the burrs.
(3) Inser t the flare nut (always use the flare nut attached to the indoor
and outdoor units respectively) onto the pipe and perform the flare
processing with a flare tool.
Use the special R410A flare tool, or the conventional flare tool.
Check if [L] is flared uniformly
and is not cracked or scratched.

2. BENDING PIPES
The pipes are shaped by your hands. Be careful not to collapse them.
Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90°.
When pipes are repeatedly bend or stretched, the material will harden,
making it difficult to bend or stretch them any more. Do not bend or stretch
the pipes more than three times.
CAUTION
1 To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends.
Bend the pipe with a radius of curvature of 150 mm or
over.
2 If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the same place, it will
break.

This air conditioner uses new refrigerant HFC (R410A).
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
1 Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant models, some of the piping and
installation and service tools are special. (See the table below.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant model with a new refrigerant R410A model, always replace the
conventional piping and flare nuts with the R410A piping and flare nuts.
2 Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous charging with
conventional refrigerant and for safety. Therefore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is
1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch.]
3 Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than with refrigerant models. Also, when
storing the piping, securely seal the openings by pinching, taping, etc.
4 When charging the refrigerant, take into account the slight change in the composition of the gas and liquid phases, and
always charge from the liquid phase side whose composition is stable.
Special tools for R410A
Copper pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable that the
amount of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10 m. Do not use copper pipes
having a collapsed, deformed or discolored portion (especially on the interior
surface). Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may become
blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when
using conventional refrigerant, it is necessary to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A are as shown in the table.
Never use copper pipes thinner than that in the table even when it is
available on the market.
DANGER
This mark indicates procedures which, if improperly performed, are most likely to result in the death of or
serious injury to the user or service personnel.
WARNING
This mark indicates procedures which, if improperly performed, might lead to the death or serious injury of
the user.
CAUTION
This mark indicates procedures which, if improperly performed, might possibly result in personal harm to
the user, or damage to property.
DANGER
Never touch electrical components immediately after the power supply has been turned off. Electrical shock may occur. After
turning off the power, always wait 5 minutes or more before touching electrical components.
