IMPORTANT!
Please Read Before Starting
When Installing…

This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operating
standards. As the installer or service person, it is an important
part of your job to install or service the system so it operates
safely and efficiently.

…In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the
unit’s weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong
wood or metal frame to provide added support.

For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you
must:
G Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.
G Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.
G Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
G Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices
given in this manual.
This symbol refers to a hazard
or unsafe practice which can
WARNING
result in severe personal injury
or death.
This symbol refers to a hazard
or unsafe practice which can
CAUTION
result in personal injury or product or property damage.

…In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to
walls and floors.
…In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a
solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents
water damage and abnormal vibration.
…In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a
metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
…In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher
than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.

If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation
sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a
special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or your
certified dealer for additional instructions.

When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of
the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then
tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free
connection.

In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation or maintenance service, including failure to
follow the instructions in this document.

• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.

When Servicing

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING

•
•

•
•

• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains) before
opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and
wiring.

When Wiring

ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A
QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN
SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing
are completed or reconnected and checked.
Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this
system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these
instructions when wiring. Improper connections and
inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or
death.
Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.

• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving
parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check
that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside
the unit being serviced.

Others
CAUTION

• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing
the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on
contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously
toxic gas.

When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when
lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.

• Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant
gas is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a
stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat
source, it can produce dangerously toxic gas.

5-1. Use of the Flaring Method
Many of the conventional split system air conditioners
employ the flaring method to connect refrigerant tubes
which run between indoor and outdoor units. In this
method, the copper tubes are flared at each end and
connected with flare nuts.
5-2. Flaring Procedure with a Flare Tool
(1) Cut the copper tube to the required length with a
tube cutter. It is recommended to cut approx. 12" to
20" (30 to 50 cm) longer than the tubing length you
estimate.

Fig. 47

Copper
tubing

(2) Remove burrs at the end of the copper tube with a
tube reamer or file. This process is important and
should be done carefully to make a good flare.
(Fig. 47)

Reamer

NOTE
When reaming, hold the tube end downward and be
sure that no copper scraps fall into the tube. (Fig. 48)

Fig. 48
If the special R410A
flare tool is used:

(3) Remove the flare nut from the unit and be sure to
mount it on the copper tube.
(4) Make a flare at the end of copper tube with a flare
tool.* (Figs. 49a and 49b)

NOTE
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly, since this will
decrease the heat insulation effect. Also, be sure the condensation drain hose splits away from the bundle and drips
clear of the unit and the tubing.

I Air Purging with a Vacuum Pump (for Test Run)
(1) Check that each tube (both narrow and wide tubes)
between the indoor and outdoor units have been
properly connected and all wiring for the test run
has been completed. Note that both narrow and
wide tube service valves on the outdoor unit are
kept closed at this stage.
(2) Using an adjustable wrench or box wrench, remove
the valve caps from the service valve on both narrow and wide tubes.

Manifold valve

knob of the manifold valve must
always be kept closed.

(4) With the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve open, run
the vacuum pump. The operation time for the vacuum pump varies with tubing length and the capacity
of the pump. The following table shows the amount
of time for evacuation:

Fig. 57
NOTE
To prevent other refrigerants from being mistakenly
charged to units which use R410A, the size of the
charge port on the service valve is different from the
one for other refrigerant types. For servicing such as
recharging, the specified charging hose, manifold and
vacuum pump adapter (with reverse flow prevention)
for R410A must be used.

(9) Turn the narrow tube service valve stem counterclockwise to fully open the valve.
(10) Loosen the vacuum hose connected to the wide
tube service port slightly to release the pressure.
Then, remove the hose.
CAUTION

Narrow tube

This may cause the refrigerant gas to leak. In order to
avoid this, take off the hose
quickly.

(11) Fasten the valve cap on the wide tube service port
securely with an adjustable wrench or box wrench.
Next, mount the valve cap on the service valve and
tighten it to 170 lbs·in (200 kgf·cm) with a torque
wrench. This process is very important to prevent
gas from leaking from the system.
(12) Test run the air conditioner. (See next page.)
(13) While the air conditioner is running, apply liquid
soap to check for any gas leaks around the service
valves or caps.
(14) If there is no leakage, stop the air conditioner.
(15) Wipe off the soap on the tubing.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump and the
air conditioner is ready for actual operation.
