2. ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
2.1. Precautions for using R410A refrigerant
The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant
(R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant
(R22) models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special. (See
the following table.)
Especially, when replacing a conventional refrigerant (R22) model with a new refriger-
ant R410A model, always replace the conventional piping and are nuts with the
R410A piping and are nuts.
Models that use refrigerant R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to
prevent erroneous charging with conventional refrigerant (R22) and for safety. There-
fore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R410A is 1/2-20 UNF.]
Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than
with refrigerant (R22) models. Also, when storing the piping, securely seal the open-
ing by pinching, taping, etc.
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 where refriger-
ant composition is stable.
2.2. Special tools for R410A
Tool name Contents of change
Gauge manifold
Pressure is high and cannot be measured with a conven-
tional (R22) gauge. To prevent erroneous mixing of other
refrigerants, the diameter of each port has been changed.
It is recommended the gauge with seals -30 inHg to 768 psi
(-0.1 to 5.3 MPa) for high pressure.
-30 inHg to 551 psi (-0.1 to 3.8 MPa) for low pressure.
Charge hose
To increase pressure resistance, the hose material and base
size were changed.
Vacuum pump
A conventional vacuum pump can be used by installing a
vacuum pump adapter.
Gas leakage detector
Special gas leakage detector for HFC refrigerant R410A.
Copper pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes and it is desirable that the amount of re-
sidual oil is less than 0.004 oz/100 ft. (40 mg/10 m). Do not use copper pipes having a col-
lapsed, deformed or discolored portion (especially on the interior surface). Otherwise, the
expansion value or capillary tube may become blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when using R22, it is nec-
essary to choose adequate materials.
WARNING
Do not use the existing (for R22) piping and are nuts.
If the existing materials are used, the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle will rise
and cause failure, injury, etc. (Use the special R410A materials.)
When installing and relocating the air conditioner, do not mix gases other than the
speci ed refrigerant (R410A) to enter the refrigerant cycle.
If air or other gas enters the refrigerant cycle, the pressure inside the cycle will rise to
an abnormally high value and cause failure, injury, etc.
2.3. For authorized service personnel only.
WARNING
For the air conditioner to operate satisfactorily, install it as outlined in this installation
manual.
Connect the indoor unit and outdoor unit or branch box with the air conditioner piping
and cables available from your local distributor. This installation manual describes
the correct connections using the installation set available from your local distributor.
Do not turn on the power until all installation work is complete.
CAUTION
This installation manual describes how to install the indoor unit only.
To install the outdoor unit or branch box, refer to the installation manual included with
the outdoor unit or branch box.
• Be careful not to scratch the air conditioner when handling it.
After installation, explain correct operation to the customer, using the operating manual.
