4 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY  
Installing, starting up, and servicing air--conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures,  
electrical components, and equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.).  
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics should install, start--up, and service this equipment.  
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning coils. All other operations should  
be performed by trained service personnel.  
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached  
to the equipment.  
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Keep quenching cloth and fire extinguisher nearby  
when brazing. Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky equipment.  
Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions included in literature and attached to the  
unit. Consult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) for special requirements. Recognize safety  
information. This is the safety--alert symbol  
. When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or  
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.Understand these signal words: DANGER, WARNING, and  
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety--alert symbol.  
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING  
signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which  
may result in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which  
will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.  
WARNING  
Ask an authorized dealer or qualified installation professional to install/maintain the air conditioner.  
Perform installation work properly according to the Installation Manual.  
Inappropriate installation may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.  
Be sure to ground the equipment  
Improper grounding may cause an electric shock.  
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or ground wires for telephone wires.  
Turn off the circuit breaker before attempting any electrical work and maintenance.  
Make sure the circuit breaker is off. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.  
Use an exclusive power circuit for the air conditioner. Use the rated voltage.  
When moving the air conditioner for installation to another place, be very careful not to allow the specified  
refrigerant (R410A) to become mixed with any other gaseous body into the refrigeration cycle.  
If air or any other gas mixes with the refrigerant, the gas pressure in the refrigeration cycle will become abnormally  
high and it may result in the pipe bursting or personal injuries.  
Do not modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or by by-passing any of the safety interlock  
switches.  
Do not touch the intake or aluminium fins of the outdoor unit.  
Doing so may result in injury.  
Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner.  
Excessive tightening of the flare nut may cause a crack in the flare nut after a long period, which may result in  
refrigerant leakage.  
Install the air conditioner securely in a location where the base can sustain the weight of the unit adequately.  
If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.  
If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may be generated.  
After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.  
If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas may be  
generated.  
Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the NEC and local code. Make  
sure the air conditioner uses an exclusive power supply.  
An insufficient power supply capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.  
Use only the specified wiring during the unit installation. Ensure that all terminals are securely fixed, so  
preventing any external forces having a negative effect on the terminals.  
5-EN  
– 5 –  
Installation Manual  
Outdoor Unit  
WARNING  
When the air conditioner cannot cool or heat a room well, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the  
air conditioner as refrigerant leakage is considered as the cause.  
In the case of repair that requires refill of refrigerant, ask service personnel about details of the repair.  
The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is harmless.  
Generally, the refrigerant does not leak. However, if the refrigerant leaks in a room and a heater or stove burner in  
the room catches fire, it may generate toxic gas.  
When you ask service personnel for repairing refrigerant leakage, confirm that the leakage portion has been  
completely repaired.  
Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subjected to a risk of exposure to a combustible  
gas.  
If a combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.  
Install the refrigerant pipe securely during the installation work before operating the air conditioner.  
If the compressor is operated with the valve open and without the refrigerant pipe, the compressor sucks air and the  
refrigeration cycle is over pressurized, which may cause a burst or injury.  
When carrying out the pump-down work, shut down the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant  
pipe.  
Disconnecting the refrigerant pipe with the service valve left open and with the compressor still operating will cause  
air, etc. to be sucked in, raising the pressure inside the refrigeration cycle to an abnormally high level, and possibly  
resulting in rupturing, injury, etc.  
CAUTION  
Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unit.  
You may fall or the objects may fall off of the outdoor unit and result in injury.  
Wear heavy gloves during the installation work to avoid injury.  
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD  
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.  
Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be  
a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is  
buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section during extended periods of system shutdown. This causes  
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the compressor at start-up.

5 INSTALLATION OF NEW REFRIGERANT  
AIR CONDITIONER  
CAUTION  
New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation  
THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT DESTROY  
OZONE LAYER.  
R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurities such as water, oxidizing membrane, and oils because the working  
pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx. 1.6 times as that of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with the adoption of the new  
refrigerant, the refrigerant oil has also been changed. Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust,  
former refrigerant, or refrigerant oil does not enter the new type refrigerant R410A air conditioner cycle.  
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerant oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port on main unit and  
installation tools are different from those of the conventional refrigerant units. Accordingly, special tools are required for  
the new refrigerant (R410A) units. For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping materials with high pressure fittings  
made for R410A only, so that water and/or dust does not enter.

pump.  
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD  
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment  
damage or improper operation.  
Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump.  
Deep Vacuum Method  
Refrigerant tubes and indoor heat exchanger should  
be evacuated using the recommended deep vacuum  
method of 500 microns. The alternate triple evacuation  
method may be used if the procedure outlined below is  
followed. Always break a vacuum with dry nitrogen.  
The deep vacuum method requires a vacuum pump  
capable of pulling a vacuum of 500 microns and a  
vacuum gage capable of accurately measuring this  
vacuum depth. The deep vacuum method is the most  
positive way of assuring a system is free of air and  
liquid water.

2. Close service valves and shut off vacuum pump.  
3. Connect a nitrogen cylinder and regulator to system  
and open until system pressure is 2 psig.  
4. Close service valve and allow system to stand for 1  
hr. During this time, dry nitrogen will be able to  
diffuse throughout the system absorbing moisture.  
5. Repeat this procedure as indicated in the chart.  
System will then be free of any cotaminants and  
water vapor.

9 FINISHING  
After the refrigerant pipe, inter-unit wires, and drain pipe have been connected, make sure they are supported and  
fixed in place for the entire length.  
Keep the power wires and system interconnection wires away from all factory wiring and piping.  
10TEST RUN  
Turn on the circuit breaker at least 12 hours before starting the system to preheat the compressor and  
prevent damage.  
To protect the compressor, power is supplied from the 208/230 VAC input to the unit to preheat the compressor.  
Check the following before starting a test run:  
That all pipes are connected securely without leaks.  
That the valve is open.  
If the compressor is operated with the valve closed, the outdoor unit will become over pressurized, which may  
damage the compressor or other components.  
If there is a leak at a connection, air can be sucked in and the internal pressure further increases, which may  
cause a burst or injury.  
• Operate the air conditioner using the correct procedure as specified in the Owner’s Manual.  
11PERIODIC MAINTENANCE  
• For an air conditioning system that is operated on a regular basis, cleaning and maintenance of the indoor/  
outdoor units are strongly recommended.  
As a general rule, if an indoor unit is operated for about 8 hours daily, the indoor/outdoor units will need to be  
cleaned at least once every 3 months. This cleaning and maintenance should be carried out by a qualified  
service person.  
Failure to clean the indoor/outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, icing, water leaking and even  
compressor failure.
