• This installation manual deals with an outdoor unit installation only. For an indoor unit installation, refer to page 52.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•  Before installation, read the “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully and strictly follow it during the installa-
tion work in order to protect yourself.
•   The precautionary items mentioned below are distinguished into two levels, 
 and  
 .
   Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can result in serious con-
sequences such as death or severe injury.
  Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can result in personal in-
jury or property damage.
 Both mention the important items to protect your health and safety. Therefore, strictly follow them by any means.
•   Be  sure to  con rm no  operation problem  on the equipment after completing  the installation.  If unusual 
noise can be heard during the test run, consult the dealer.
•  Be sure to explain the operating methods as well as the maintenance methods of this equipment to the 
user according to the user’s manual.
•  Be sure to keep the installation manual together with user’s manual at a place where it is easily accessi-
ble to the user any time. Moreover, ask the user to hand the manuals to a new user, whenever required.
 WARNING
•  Be sure to use only for residential purpose.
   If this unit is installed in inferior environment such as machine shop, vehicle (like ship), warehouse, 
etc., it can malfunction.
•   Installation must be carried out by the qualifi ed installer completely in accor-
dance with the installation manual.
   Installation by non qualifi ed person or incorrect installation can cause serious troubles such as water 
leak, electric shock, fi re and personal injury.
• 
 Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves while performing installation work.
   Improper safety measures can result in personal injury.
•   Use the original accessories and the specifi ed components for the installation.
   Using parts other than those prescribed may cause water leak, electric shock, fi re and personal injury.
•  
Do not install the unit near the location where leakage of  ammable gases can occur.
   If leaked gases accumulate around the unit, it can cause fi re resulting in property damage and per-
sonal injury.
•  When installing the unit in small rooms, make sure that refrigerant density 
does not exceed the limit (Reference: ISO5149) in the event of leakage.
   If refrigerant density exceeds the limit, consult the dealer and install the ventilation system. 
   Otherwise lack of oxygen can occur resulting in serious accident.
•   Install the unit in a location where unit will remain stable, horizontal and free 
of any vibration transmission.
   Unsuitable installation location can cause the unit to fall resulting in material damage and personal injury.
•   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 shock.
•   This unit is designed specifi cally for R32. 
  Using any other refrigerant can cause unit failure and personal injury.
•   Do not vent R32 into atmosphere.
 R32 is a fl uorinated greenhouse gas with a Global Warming Potential(GWP)=675.
•  Make sure that no air enters the refrigerant circuit when the unit is installed 
and removed.
 If air enters the refrigerant circuit, the pressure in the refrigerant circuit will become too high, which 
can cause burst and personal injury.
•   Be sure to use the prescribed pipes,  are nuts and tools for R32 or R410A.
 Using existing parts (for R22 or R407C) can cause refrigerant circuit burst resulting in unit failure and 
personal injury.
•   Be sure to connect both liquid and gas connecting pipes properly before op-
erating the compressor. 
   Do not open the liquid and gas operation valves before completing piping 
work,  and evacuation.
 If the compressor is operated when connecting pipes are not connected and operation valves are 
open, air can be sucked into the refrigerant circuit which can cause anomalous high pressure result-
ing in burst or personal injury.
•   Be sure to tighten the  are nuts to specifi ed torque using the torque wrench.
   Tightening fl are nuts with excess torque can cause burst and refrigerant leakage after a long period.
•   During pump down work, be sure to stop the compressor before closing ser-
vice valves and removing connecting pipes.
   If the connecting pipes are removed when the compressor is in operation and service valves are 
open, air can be sucked into the refrigerant circuit which can cause anomalous high pressure result-
ing in burst or personal injury.
•   In the event of refrigerant leakage during installation, be sure to ventilate the 
working area properly.
 
 If the refrigerant comes into contact with naked fl ames, poisonous gases will be produced.
•   Electrical work must be carried out by the qualifi ed electrician, strictly in ac-
cordance with national or regional electricity regulations.
  Incorrect installation can cause electric shock, fi re or personal injury.
•   Make sure that earth  leakage breaker and  circuit breaker of appropriate  ca-
pacities are installed. 
   Circuit breaker should be able to disconnect all poles  under over current. Absence of appropriate 
breakers can cause electric shock, personal injury or property damage.
•   Be sure to switch  off the power source  in the event of  installation,  mainte-
nance or service.
   If the power source is not switched off, there is a risk of electric shock, unit failure or personal injury.
•   Be sure to tighten  the cables securely in  terminal block and relieve the ca-
bles properly to prevent overloading the terminal blocks.
   Loose connections or cable mountings can cause anomalous heat production or fi re.
•  Do not process, splice or modify the power cable, or share the socket with 
other power plugs.
   Improper power cable or power plug can cause fi re or electric shock due to poor connection, insuf-
fi cient insulation or over-current.
•   Do not perform any change in protective device or its setup condition yourself.
   Changing protective device specifi cations can cause electric shock, fi re or burst.
•  Be sure to clamp the cables properly so that they do not touch any internal 
component of the unit.
   If cables touch any internal component, it can cause overheating and fi re.
•   Be sure to install service cover properly.
   Improper installation can cause electric shock or fi re due to intrusion of dust or water.
•   Be sure to use the prescribed power and connecting cables for electrical work.
   Using improper cables can cause electric leak or fi re.
•   This appliance must be connected to main power source by means of a cir-
cuit breaker or switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm.
  Improper electrical work can cause unit failure or personal injury.
• 
 When plugging  this unit, a plug conforming to the standard IEC60884-1 must be 
used.
  Using improper plug can cause electric shock or fi re. 
•   Be sure to connect the power source cable with power source properly. 
   Improper connection can cause intrusion of dust or water resulting in electric shock or fi re.
 CAUTION
•   Take care when carrying the unit by hand.
   If the unit weight is more than 20kg, it must be carried by two or more persons. 
   Do not carry the unit by the plastic straps. Always use the carry handle.
•   Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where insects and small animals 
can inhabit.
   Insects and small animals can enter the electrical parts and cause damage resulting in fi re or per-
sonal injury.  Instruct the user to keep the surroundings clean.
•   If the outdoor unit is installed at height, make sure that there is enough space 
for installation, maintenance and service.
   Insuffi cient space can result in personal injury due to falling from the height.
•  Do not install the unit near the location where neighbours are bothered by 
noise or air generating from the unit.
   It can affect surrounding environment and cause a claim.

gases (like sulphide gas, chloride gas), sea breeze or salty atmosphere.
   It can cause corrosion of heat exchanger and damage to plastic parts.
•   Do not install the unit close to the equipments that generate electromagnetic 
waves and/or high-harmonic waves.
   Equipment such as inverters, standby generators, medical high frequency equipments and telecom-
munication equipments can affect the system, and cause malfunctions and breakdowns. 
   The system can also affect medical equipment and telecommunication equipment, and obstruct its 
function or cause jamming.
•   Do not install the unit in the locations where:
•  There are heat sources nearby. 
•  Unit is directly exposed to rain or sunlight.
•  There is any obstacle which can prevent smooth air circulation from inlet and outlet side of the unit.
•  Unit is directly exposed to oil mist and steam such as kitchen.
•  Chemical substances like ammonia (organic fertilizer), calcium chloride  (snow melting agent) and 
acid (sulfurous acid etc.), which can harm the unit, will generate or accumulate.
•  Drain water can not be discharged properly.
•  TV set or radio receiver is placed within 1m.
•  Height above sea level is more than 1000m.
It can cause performance degradation, corrosion and damage of components, unit malfunction and fi re.
•   Dispose of all packing materials properly.
   Packing materials contain nails and wood which can cause personal injury. 
   Keep the polybag away from children to avoid the risk of suffocation.
•   Do not put anything on the outdoor unit.

•   Do not touch the aluminum fi n of the outdoor unit.
   Aluminium fi n temperature is high during heating operation. Touching fi n can cause burn.
• 
 Do not touch any refrigerant pipe with your hands when the system is in operation.
   During operation the refrigerant pipes become extremely hot or extremely cold depending on the op-
erating condition. Touching pipes can cause personal injury like burn (hot/cold).
•   Install isolator or disconnect switch  on  the  power  source wiring in accor-
dance with the local codes and regulations.
   The isolator should be locked in OFF state in accordance with EN60204-1.
2. OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
Note as a unit designed for R32
•  Do not use any refrigerant other than R32. R32 will rise to pressure about 1.6 times higher than that of 
a conventional refrigerant. A cylinder containing R32 has a light blue indication mark on the top.
•  Do not use a charge cylinder. The use of a charge cylinder will cause the refrigerant composition to 
change, which results in performance degradation.
•  In charging refrigerant, always take it out from a cylinder in the liquid phase.
•  All indoor units must be models designed exclusively for R32. Check connectable indoor unit models in
a catalog, etc. (A wrong indoor unit, if connected into the system, will impair proper system operation)
1. Haulage
•  Always carry or move the unit with two or more persons.
•  The right hand side of the unit as viewed from the front (outlet 
side) is heavier.
  A person carrying the right hand side must take care of this fact. 
A person carrying the left hand side must hold the handle pro-
vided on the front panel of the unit with his right hand and the 
corner column section of the unit with his left hand.
 CAUTION
When a unit is hauled, take care of its gravity center position which is shifted towards right hand side.
If the unit is not hauled properly, it can go off balance and fall resulting in serious injury.
