2. Preparation of connecting pipe
2.1. Selecting connecting pipe
Select connecting pipe according to the following table.
Indoor unit Model 20/25/35 Model 50/60
Gas pipe ø9.52 ø12.7
Liquid pipe ø6.35 ø6.35
• Pipe wall thickness must be greater than or equal to 0.8 mm.
• Pipe material must be O-type (Phosphorus deoxidized seamless copper pipe ICS 23.040.15, ICS
77.150.30).
2.2. Cutting connecting pipe
(1) Cut the connecting pipe to the required length with pipe cutter.
(2) Hold the pipe downward and remove the burrs. Make sure that no foreign material enters the pipe.
(3) Cover the connecting pipe ends with the tape.
3. Piping work
Check that both liquid and gas operation valves are fully closed.
Carry out the piping work with operation valves fully closed.

4. Evacuation
(1) Connect vacuum pump to gauge manifold. Connect charge hose of gauge manifold to a service port
of outdoor unit.
(2)Runthevacuumpumpforatleastonehourafterthevacuumgaugeshows-0.1MPa(–76cmHg).
(3)Conrmthatthevacuumgaugeindicatordoesnotriseevenifthesystemisleftfor15minutesormore.
Vacuum gauge indicator will rise if the system has moisture left inside or has a leakage point.
Check the system for the leakage point. If leakage point is found, repair it and return to (1) again.
(4) Close the Handle Lo and stop the vacuum pump.
Keep this state for a few minutes to make sure that the compound pressure gauge pointer does not
swing back.
(5) Remove valve caps from liquid service valve and gas service valve.
(6) Turn the liquid service valve's rod 90 degree counterclockwise with a hexagonal wrench key to open
valve.
Close it after 5 seconds, and check for gas leakage.
Usingsoapywater,checkforgasleakagefromindoorunit'sareandoutdoorunit'sareandvalverods.
Wipe off all the water after completing the check.

5. ELECTRICAL WIRING WORK
WARNING
• Make sure that all the electrical work is carried out in accordance with the national or regional electri-
cal standards.
• Make sure that the earth leakage breaker and circuit breaker of appropriate capacities are installed
(Refer to the table given below).
• Do not turn on the power until the electrical work is completed.
• Do not use a condensive capacitor for power factor improvement under any circumstances.
(It does not improve power factor. Moreover, it can cause an abnormal overheat accident).
