1. Safety precautions
1.3. Before electric work
Caution:
• Be sure to install circuit breakers.
If not installed, electric shock may result.
• For the power lines, use standard
cables of sufficient
capacity.
Otherwise,
a
short circuit, overheating,
or fire 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
fire 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 properly
grounded,
electric
shock
may result.
• Use circuit
breakers
(ground
fault
interrupter,
isolating
switch
(+B fuse),
and molded
case circuit
breaker)
with
the specified
capacity.
If the circuit
breaker
capacity
is larger
than
the specified
capacity,
breakdown
or fire
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 protective
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.
• Do not touch the refrigerant
pipes with bare hands during
operation.
The
refrigerant
pipes are hot or cold depending
on the condition
of the flowing
refrigerant.
If you touch the pipes, burns or frostbite
may result.
• After stopping
operation,
be sure to wait at least five minutes before turn-
ing off the main power switch. Otherwise,
water leakage or breakdown
may
result.
1.5. Using R410A refrigerant air conditioners
Caution:
• 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 specified
thick-
ness. (Refer to page 5) Note the following
if reusing
existing
pipes that car-
ried R22 refrigerant.
- Replace the existing flare nuts and flare the flared sections again.
- Do not use thin pipes. (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, alkytbenzene
oil (small
amount)
as the refrigeration
oil applied
to the flared sections.
If mineral
oil is mixed
in the refrigeration
oil, oil deterioration
may result.
• Do not use refrigerant
other than
R410A refrigerant.
If another
refrigerant
is
used, the chlorine
will cause the oil to deteriorate.
• Use the following
tools
specifically
designed
for use with R410A refrigerant.
The following
tools
are necessary
to use R410A refrigerant.
Contact
your
nearest dealer
for any questions.
Tools (for R41OA)
Gauge manifold
Flare tool
Charge hose
Size adjustment
gauge
Gas leak detector
Vacuum pump adapter
Torque wrench
Electronic
refrigerant charging scale
• 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 composi-
tion of the refrigerant
will change
and the efficiency
will be lowered.

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,
flow, 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 airflow
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 fingers may be pinched.
