Safety precautions
• When installing the unit, be sure to check and satisfy the requirements in the selection of installation location, power supply specifica-
tions, usage limitation (piping length, height differences between indoor and outdoor units, power supply voltage and etc.) and installa-
tion spaces.
• Read the “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully first of all and strictly follow it during the installation work in order to protect yourself.
• The precautionary items mentioned below are distinguished into two levels,  WARNING  and CAUTION .
WARNING : Wrong installation would cause serious consequences such as injuries or death.
CAUTION : Wrong installation might cause serious consequences depending on circumstances.
Both mentions the important items to protect your health and safety so strictly follow them by any means.
• Be sure to confirm no anomaly on the equipment by commissioning after completed installation and explain the operating methods as well as the
maintenance methods of this equipment to the user according to the owner’s manual.
• Keep the installation manual together with owner’s manual at a place where any user can read at any time. Moreover if necessary, ask to hand
them to a new user.
• For installing qualified personnel, take precautions in respect to themselves by using suitable protective clothing, gloves, etc., and then perform
the installation works.
• Please pay attention not to fall down the tools, etc. when installing the unit at the high position.
• If unusual noise can be heard during operation, consult the dealer.
• The meanings of “Marks” used here are shown as follows:
Never  do  it  under  any
circumstances.
Always do  it  according  to
the instruction.
 WARNING
• Installation must be carried out by the qualified installer.
If  you  install  the  system  by yourself, it  may  cause serious  trouble  such as
water leaks, electric shocks, fire and personal injury, as a result of a system
malfunction.
• Install the system in full accordance with the instruction manual.
Incorrect installation may cause bursts, personal injury, water leaks, electric
shocks and fire.
• Be sure to use only for household and residence.
If  this  appliance is installed in inferior  environment such as machine shop
and etc., it can cause malfunction.
• Use the  original  accessories  and  the  specified  components  for  installa-
tion.
If parts other than those prescribed by us are used, It may cause water leaks,
electric shocks, fire and personal injury.
• Install the unit in a location with good support.
Unsuitable installation locations can cause the unit to fall and cause material
damage and personal injury.
• Ventilate the working area well in the event of refrigerant leakage dur-
ing installation.
If  the  refrigerant  comes  into  contact  with  naked  flames,  poisonous  gas  is
produced.
• When installing in small rooms, take prevention measures not to exceed
the density  limit  of refrigerant in the  event  of leakage, referred by the
formula (accordance with ISO5149).
If the density of refrigerant exceeds the limit, please consult the dealer and
install the ventilation system, otherwise lack of oxygen can occur, which can
cause serious accident.
• After  completed  installation,  check  that  no  refrigerant  leaks  from  the
system.
If  refrigerant  leaks  into  the  room  and  comes  into  contact  with  an  oven or
other hot surface, poisonous gas is produced.
• Tighten the flare nut by torque wrench with specified method.
If the flare nut were tightened with excess torque, this may cause burst and
refrigerant leakage after a long period.
• Do not open the operation valves for liquid line and gas line until com-
pleted refrigerant piping work, air tightness test and evacuation.
If  the  compressor  is  operated  in  state  of  opening  operation  valves  before
completed connection of refrigerant piping work, air can be sucked into re-
frigerant circuit, which can cause bust or personal injury due to anomalously
high pressure in the refrigerant.
• Do not put the drainage pipe directly into drainage channels where poi-
sonous gases such as sulphide gas can occur.
Poisonous gases will flow into the room through drainage pipe and seriously
affect the user’s health and safety.
• Ensure that no air enters in the refrigerant circuit when the unit is in-
stalled and removed.
If air enters  in the refrigerant  circuit, the pressure in the refrigerant circuit
becomes too high, which can cause burst and personal injury.
• Do not process, splice the power cord, or share a socket with other power
plugs.
This may cause fire or electric shock due to defecting contact, defecting in-
sulation and over-current etc.
• The electrical installation  must  be carried out  by the qualified  electri-
cian  in accordance  with  “the  norm  for  electrical work”  and  “national
wiring regulation”, and the system must be connected to the dedicated
circuit.
Power supply with insufficient capacity and incorrect function done by im-
proper work can cause electric shocks and fire.
• Be sure to shut off the power before starting electrical work.
Failure to shut off the power can cause electric shocks, unit failure or incor-
rect function of equipment.
• Be  sure  to  use  the  cables  conformed  to  safety  standard  and  cable
ampacity for power distribution work.
Unconformable cables can cause electric leak, anomalous heat production or
fire.
• This appliance must be connected to main power supply by means of a
circuit breaker or switch (fuse:20A) with a contact separation of at least
3mm.
• When  plugging  this  appliance,  a  plug  conforming  to  the  norm
IEC60884-1 must be used.
• Use  the  prescribed  cables  for  electrical  connection,  tighten  the  cables
securely  in  terminal  block  and  relieve  the  cables  correctly  to  prevent
overloading the terminal blocks.
Loose connections or cable mountings can cause anomalous heat production
or fire.
• Arrange  the  wiring  in  the  control  box  so  that  it  cannot  be  pushed  up
further into the box. Install the service panel correctly.
Incorrect installation may result in overheating and fire.
• Be sure to fix up the service panels.
Incorrect fixing can cause electric shocks or fire due to intrusion of dust or
water.
• Be sure to switch off the power supply in the event of installation, inspec-
tion or servicing.
If  the  power  supply  is  not  shut  off,  there  is  a  risk  of  electric  shocks,  unit
failure or personal injury due to the unexpected start of fan.
• Stop  the  compressor  before  disconnecting  refrigerant  pipes  in  case  of
pump down operation.
If disconnecting refrigerant pipes in state of opening operation valves before
compressor stopping, air can be sucked, which can cause burst or personal
injury due to anomalously high pressure in the refrigerant circuit
• Only use prescribed optional parts. The installation must be carried out
by the qualified installer.
If  you  install  the  system  by  yourself,  it  can  cause  serious  trouble  such  as
water leaks, electric shocks, fire.
• Do not bundle, wind or process for the power cord. Or, do not deform
the power plug due to tread it.
This may cause fire or heating.
• Do not vent R410A into the atmosphere : R410A is a fluorinated green-
house gas, covered by the Kyoto Protocol with Global Warming Poten-
tial (GWP)=1975.
• Do not run the unit with removed panels or protections.
Touching rotating equipments, hot surfaces or high voltage parts can cause
personal injury due to entrapment, burn or electric shocks.
•
Do not perform any change of protective device itself or its setup condition.
The forced operation by short-circuiting protective device of pressure switch
and temperature controller or the use of non specified component can cause
fire or burst.
• Carry out the electrical work for ground lead with care.
Do not connect the ground lead to the gas line, water line, lightning conductor or telephone line’s ground lead. Incorrect grounding can cause unit faults such
as electric shocks due to short-circuiting.
