SELECTION OF INSTALLATION
When using an air conditioner under low outside
temperature condition (Outside temp.:–5 °C or
lower) with COOL mode, prepare a duct or wind
shield so that it is not affected by the wind.
Before installation
Be careful to the following items before installation.
Length of refrigerant pipe
<SM56>
Length of refrigerant
pipe connected to
indoor/outdoor unit
5 m to 20 m
∗21 m to 30 m
* Caution at addition of refrigerant
When the total length of refrigerant pipe exceeds
20 m, add 20 g/m of refrigerant and the maximum
total length of pipe is 30 m.
(Max. amount of additional refrigerant is 200 g.)
Charge the refrigerant accurately. Overcharge may
cause a serious trouble of compressor.
Drain nipple
Item
Addition of refrigerant is
unnecessary at the local site.
<Addition of refrigerant>
Add 20 g of refrigerant for every
1 m of pipe which exceeds 20 m.
Refrigerant Piping
• Piping kit used for the conventional refrigerant cannot
be used.
• Use copper pipe with 0.8 mm or more thickness for
Ø6.4, Ø9.5, Ø12.7.
Use copper pipe with 1.0 mm or more thickness for
Ø15.9.
• Flare nut and flare works are also different from those
of the conventional refrigerant.
Take out the flare nut attached to the main unit of the
