1. Safety precautions
1.3. Before electric work
Caution:
• Be sure to install circuit breakers. If not installed, electric shock may re-
sult.
• For the power lines, use standard cables of suffi cient capacity. Otherwise,
a short circuit, overheating, or fi re may result.
• When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables. If the
connections are loosened, the cables can snap or break and overheating
or fi re may result.
1.4. Before starting the test run
Caution:
• Turn on the main power switch more than 12 hours before starting opera-
tion. Starting operation just after turning on the power switch can severely
damage the internal parts. Keep the main power switch turned on during
the operation season.
• Before starting operation, check that all panels, guards and other protec-
tive parts are correctly installed. Rotating, hot, or high voltage parts can
cause injuries.
• Do not touch any switch with wet hands. Electric shock may result.
1.5. Using R410A refrigerant air conditioners
Caution:
• Use new refrigerant pipes.
Note the following if reusing existing pipes that carried R22 refrigerant.
- Be sure to clean the pipes and make sure that the insides of the pipes are clean.
- Replace the existing fl are nuts and fl are the fl ared sections again.
- Do not use thin pipes. (Refer to page 5)
• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless
pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Make sure the insides of the pipes
are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric
compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust. Use pipes with the specifi ed thick-
ness. (Refer to page 5)
• Store the pipes to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends
of the pipes sealed until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc. in
their packaging.) If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, oil
deterioration or compressor breakdown may result.
• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration
oil applied to the fl ared sections. If mineral oil is mixed in the refrigeration
oil, oil deterioration may result.

• Be sure to ground the unit. Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water
pipes, lighting rods, or telephone grounding lines. If the unit is not prop-
erly grounded, electric shock may result.
• Use circuit breakers (ground fault interrupter, isolating switch (+B fuse),
and molded case circuit breaker) with the specifi ed capacity. If the circuit
breaker capacity is larger than the specifi ed capacity, breakdown or fi re
may result.
• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes with bare hands during operation. The
refrigerant pipes are hot or cold depending on the condition of the fl owing
refrigerant. If you touch the pipes, burns or frostbite may result.
• After stopping operation, be sure to wait at least fi ve minutes before turn-
ing off the main power switch. Otherwise, water leakage or breakdown may
result.
• Do not use refrigerant other than R410A refrigerant. If another refrigerant
is used, the chlorine will cause the oil to deteriorate.
• Use a vacuum pump with a reverse fl ow check valve.
If the vacuum pump oil fl ows backward into the refrigerant lines, refriger-
ant oil deterioration may result.
• Use the following tools specifi cally designed for use with R410A refriger-
ant. The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant. Contact
your nearest dealer for any questions.
Tools (for R410A)
Gauge manifold
Charge hose
Gas leak detector
Torque wrench
• Be sure to use the correct tools. If dust, debris, or moisture enters the re-
frigerant lines, refrigeration oil deterioration may result.
• Do not use a charging cylinder. If a charging cylinder is used, the compo-
sition of the refrigerant will change and the effi ciency will be lowered.
2.1. Refrigerant pipe (Fig. 2-1)
Check that the difference between the heights of the indoor and outdoor
units, the length of refrigerant pipe, and the number of bends in the pipe
are within the limits shown below.
A Pipe length
Models

P100, P125, P140 Max. 50 m
• Height difference limitations are binding regardless of which unit, indoor or out-
door, is positioned higher.
D Indoor unit
E Outdoor unit
2.2. Choosing the outdoor unit installation location
• Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Select a location from which noise emitted by the unit will not inconvenience
neighbors.
• Select a location permitting easy wiring and pipe access to the power source
and indoor unit.
• Avoid locations where combustible gases may leak, be produced, fl ow, or accu-
mulate.
• Note that water may drain from the unit during operation.
• Select a level location that can bear the weight and vibration of the unit.
• Avoid locations where the unit can be covered by snow. In areas where heavy
snow fall is anticipated, special precautions such as raising the installation loca-
tion or installing a hood on the air intake must be taken to prevent the snow from
blocking the air intake or blowing directly against it. This can reduce the airfl ow
and a malfunction may result.
• Avoid locations exposed to oil, steam, or sulfuric gas.
• Use the transportation handles of the outdoor unit to transport the unit. If the unit
is carried from the bottom, hands or fi ngers may be pinched.
