Warning
■
Ask your dealer or qualified personnel to carry out installation
work. Do not install the machine by yourself.
Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric shocks
or fire.
■
Perform installation work in accordance with this installation
manual.
Improper installation may lead to water leakage, electric shocks
or fire.
■
Consult your local dealer regarding what to do in case of
refrigerant leakage. When the unit is to be installed in a small
room, it is necessary to take proper measures so that the
amount of any leaked refrigerant does not exceed the
concentration limit in the event of a leakage. Otherwise, this may
lead to an accident due to oxygen depletion.
■
Be sure to use only the specified accessories and parts for
installation work.
Failure to use the specified parts may result in water leakage,
electric shocks, fire, or the unit falling.
■
Install the unit on a foundation that can withstand its weight.
Insufficient strength may result in the fall of equipment and
causing injury.
■
Carry out the specified installation work in consideration of
strong winds, typhoons, or earthquakes.
Improper installation work may result in accidents due to fall of
equipment.
■
Make certain that all electrical work is carried out by qualified
personnel according to the applicable legislation and this
installation manual, using a separate circuit.
Insufficient capacity of the power supply circuit or improper
electrical construction may lead to electric shocks or fire.
■
Make sure that all wiring is secure, using the specified wires and
ensuring that external forces do not act on the terminal
connections or wires.
Incomplete connection or fixing may cause a fire.
■
When wiring between the indoor and outdoor units, and wiring
the power supply, form the wires so that the frontside panel can
be securely fastened.
If the frontside panel is not in place, overheat of the terminals,
electric shocks or a fire may be caused.
■
If refrigerant gas leaks during installation work, ventilate the
area immediately.
Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes into contact
with fire.
■
After completing the installation work, check to make sure that
there is no leakage of refrigerant gas.
Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas leaks into the room
and comes into contact with a source of fire, such as a fan
heater, stove or cooker.
■
When planning to relocate former installed units, you must first
recover the refrigerant after the pump down operation. Refer to
chapter "13. Pump down operation" on page 13.
■
Never directly touch any accidental leaking refrigerant. This
could result in severe wounds caused by frostbite.
■
Be sure to install an earth leakage circuit breaker in accordance
with applicable legislation. Failure to do so may cause electrical
shock and fire.
■
Electrical work must be carried out in accordance with the
installation manual and the national electrical wiring rules or
code of practice.
Insufficient capacity or incomplete electrical work may cause
electrical shock or fire.
■
Be sure to use a dedicated power circuit. Never use a power
circuit shared by another appliance.
■
For wiring, use a cable long enough to cover the entire distance
with no connection. Do not use an extension cord. Do not put
other loads on the power supply, use a dedicated power circuit.
Failure to do so may cause abnormal heat, electric shock, or fire.
Installation manual
3
■
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before
removing the refrigerant piping.
If the compressor is still running and the stop valve is open
during pump-down, air will be sucked in when the refrigerant
piping is removed, causing abnormal pressure in the freezer
cycle which will lead to breakage and even to injury.
■
During installation, attach the refrigerant piping securely before
running the compressor.
If the compressor is not attached and the stop valve is open
during pump-down, air will be sucked in when the compressor is
running, causing abnormal pressure in the freezer cycle which
will lead to breakage and even to injury.
Caution
■
Earth the unit.
Earthing resistance should be according to applicable
legislation.
Do not connect the earth wire to gas or water pipes,
lightning conductor or telephone earth wire.
Incomplete earthing may cause electric shocks.
■ Gas pipe.
Ignition or explosion may occur if the gas leaks.
■ Water pipe.
Hard vinyl tubes are not effective earths.
■ Lightning conductor or telephone earth wire.
Electric potential may rise abnormally if struck by a lightning
bolt.
■
Install the indoor and outdoor units, power wire and connecting
wire at least 1 meter away from televisions or radios to prevent
image interference or noise.
(Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 meter may not
be sufficient to eliminate the noise.)
■
Do not rinse the outdoor unit. This may cause electric shocks or
fire.
■
Do not install the unit in places such as the following:
■ Where there is mist of mineral oil, oil spray or vapour for
example a kitchen.
Plastic parts may deteriorate, and cause them to fall out or
water to leak.
■ Where corrosive gas, such as sulphurous acid gas, is
produced.
Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause the
refrigerant to leak.
■ Where there is machinery which emits electromagnetic
waves.
Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system, and
cause malfunction of the equipment.
■ Where flammable gases may leak, where carbon fiber or
ignitable dust is suspended in the air or where volatile
flammables, such as thinner or gasoline, are handled.
Such gases may cause a fire.
■ Where the air contains high levels of salt such as that near
the ocean.
■ Where voltage fluctuates a lot, such as in factories.
■ In vehicles or vessels.
■ Where acidic or alkaline vapour is present.
■
Do not allow a child to mount on the outdoor unit or avoid
placing any object on the unit. Falling or tumbling may result in
injury.
