WARNING
Regulation for refrigerant leakage : the amount of refrigerant
leakage should satisfy the following equation for human safety.
If the above equation can not be satisfied, then follow the follow-
ing steps.
- Selection of air conditioning system: select one of the next
1. Installation of effective opening part
2. Reconfirmation of Outdoor Unit capacity and piping length
3. Reduction of the amount of refrigerant
4. Installation of 2 or more security device (alarm for gas leakage)
- Change Indoor Unit type
: installation position should be over 2 m(6.6 ft) from the floor
(Wall mounted type ’ Cassette type)
- Adoption of ventilation system
: choose ordinary ventilation system or building ventilation system
- Limitation in piping work
: Prepare for earthquake and thermal stress

• Ensure that the branch pipes are attached horizontally or vertically
(see the diagram below.)
• There is no limitation on the joint mounting configuration.
• If the diameter of the refrigerant piping selected by the procedures
described is different from the size of the joint, the connecting sec-
tion should be cut with a pipe cutter.
• Branch pipe should be insulated with the insulator in each kit.

Ⓑ To Indoor Unit
• The indoor unit having larger ca-
pacity must be installed closer
to Ⓐ than smaller one.
• If the diameter of the refrigerant
piping selected by the proce-
dures described is different
from the size of the joint, the
connecting section should be
cut with a pipe cutter.

• When the number of pipes to be
connected is smaller than the
number of header branches, in-
stall a cap to the unconnected
branches.
