efore
installing
the unit, make
sure you read all the "Safety
precau-
tions".
I_ Please
report
to or take consent
by the supply
authority
before connec-
tion to the system.

Warning:
Describes
precautions
that must be observed
to prevent
danger
of injury or
death to the user.
Caution:
Describes
precautions
that must be observed
to prevent
damage
to the unit.
After
installation
work
has been completed,
explain
the "Safety
Precautions,"
use,and maintenance
of the unit to the customer
according to the information
in the
Operation
Manual
and perform
the test run to ensure normal operation.
Both the
Installation
Manual and Operation
Manual must be given to the user for keeping.
These manuals must be passed on to subsequent
users.
_:
Indicates a part which must be grounded.
Warning:
Carefully
read the labels affixed to the main unit.
Warning:
• The unit must
not be installed
by the user. Ask a dealer
or an authorized
technician
to install
the unit. If the unit
is installed
incorrectly,
water
leak-
age, electric
shock,
or fire may result.
• For installation
work,
follow
the instructions
in the Installation
Manual
and use tools
and pipe components
specifically
made for use with
R410A
refrigerant.
• The R410A
refrigerant
in the HFC system
is pressurized
1.6 times
the
pressure
of usual
refrigerants.
If pipe components
not designed
for R410A
refrigerant
are used and the unit is not installed
correctly,
the pipes
may
burst
and cause
damage
or injuries.
In addition,
water
leakage,
electric
shock,
or fire may result.
• The unit must be installed
according
to the instructions
in order to minimize
the risk of damage
from earthquakes,
typhoons,
or strong
winds.
An incor-
rectly
installed
unit may fall down and cause damage
or injuries.
• The unit must be securely
installed
on a structure
that can sustain
its weight.
If the unit is mounted
on an unstable
structure,
it may fall down
and cause
damage
or injuries.
• If the air conditioner
is installed
in a small room,
measures
must be taken
to
prevent
the refrigerant
concentration
in the room from exceeding
the safety
limit in the event of refrigerant
leakage. Consult a dealer regarding
the appropri-
ate measures
to prevent the allowable
concentration
from being
exceeded.
Should
the
refrigerant
leak
and
cause
the
concentration
limit
to be
exceeded,
hazards
due to lack of oxygen
in the room
may result.
• Ventilate
the room
if refrigerant
leaks during
operation.
If refrigerant
comes
into contact
with
a flame,
poisonous
gases will be released.
• All electric
work
must
be performed
by a qualified
technician
according
to
local
regulations
and the instructions
given
in this manual.
The units
must
be powered
by dedicated
power
lines
and the correct
voltage
and circuit
breakers
must be used.
Power
lines with
insufficient
capacity
or incorrect
electrical
work
may result
in electric
shock
or fire.
• Be sure to connect
the power
supply
cords
and the connecting
wires
for
the indoor
units,
outdoor
units,
and branch
boxes directly
to the units
(no
intermediate
connections).
Intermediate
connections
can lead to communication
errors
if water enters
the cords
or wires
and causes
insufficient
insulation
to ground
or a poor
electrical
contact
at the intermediate
connection
point.
(If an intermediate
connection
is necessary,
be sure to take measures
to
prevent
water from entering
the cords
and wires.)
• Use C1220
copper
phosphorus,
for copper
and copper
alloy
seamless
pipes, to connect
the refrigerant
pipes.
If the pipes are not connected
cor-
rectly, the unit will not be properly
grounded
and electric
shock
may result.
• Use
only
specified
cables
for wiring.
The
connections
must
be made
securely
without
tension
on the terminals.
If the cables
are connected
or
installed
incorrectly,
overheating
or fire may result.
• The terminal
block
cover
panel of the outdoor
unit must be firmly
attached.
If the cover
panel
is mounted
incorrectly
and dust
and moisture
enter
the
unit, electric
shock
or fire may result.
• When installing
or moving
the air conditioner,
use only the specified
refrig-
erant
(R410A)
to charge
the refrigerant
lines.
Do not mix it with
any other
refrigerant
and do not allow
air to remain
in the lines. Air enclosed
in the
lines can cause pressure
peaks resulting
in a rupture
and other
hazards.
• Use only accessories
authorized
by Mitsubishi
Electric
and ask a dealer
or an authorized
technician
to install
them.
If accessories
are incorrectly
installed,
water
leakage,
electric
shock,
or fire may result.
• Do not alter the unit. Consult
a dealer for repairs.
If alterations
or repairs
are
not performed
correctly,
water leakage,
electric
shock,
or fire may result.
• The user
should
never
attempt
to repair
the unit
or transfer
it to another
location.
If the unit is installed
incorrectly,
water
leakage,
electric
shock,
or fire may
result.
If the air conditioner
must be repaired
or moved,
ask a dealer
or an
authorized
technician.
• After
installation
has been completed,
check
for refrigerant
leaks. If refriger-
ant leaks into the room
and comes
into contact
with the flame of a heater or
portable
cooking
range, poisonous
gases will be released.
1.1. Before installation
Caution:
• Do not use the unit in an unusual
environment.
If the air conditioner
is
installed
in areas exposed
to steam,
volatile
oil (including
machine
oil),
or sulfuric
gas, areas exposed
to high salt content
such as the seaside,
or areas where the unit will be covered by snow, the performance
can be
significantly
reduced and the internal parts can be damaged.
• Do not install the unit where
combustible
gases may leak, be produced,
flow, or accumulate.
If combustible
gas accumulates
around the unit, fire or
explosion
may result.
• The outdoor
unit produces
condensation
during
the heating
operation.
Make
sure to provide
drainage
around
the outdoor
unit
if such condensation
is
likely to cause damage.
• When installing
the unit in a hospital
or communications
office, be prepared
for noise
and electronic
interference.
Inverters,
home
appliances,
high-
frequency
medical
equipment,
and radio
communications
equipment
can
cause the air conditioner
to malfunction
or breakdown.
The air conditioner
may also affect medical
equipment,
disturbing
medical
care, and communi-
cations
equipment,
harming
the screen display
quality.
1.2. Before installation (relocation)
Caution:
• Be extremely
careful
when transporting
the units. 2 or more
persons
are
needed to handle the unit, as it weighs 20 kg, 44 Ibs or more. Do not grasp
the packaging
bands. Wear protective
gloves to remove the unit from
the
packaging
and to move it, as you can injure your hands on the fins or the
edge of other parts.
• Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging
materials.
Packaging
materials,
such as nails and other metal or wooden
parts may cause stabs or other
injuries.
• The base and attachments
of the outdoor
unit must be periodically
checked
for looseness,
cracks
or other
damage.
If such defects
are left uncorrected,
the unit may fall down and cause damage
or injuries.
• Do not clean the air conditioner
unit with water.
Electric shock
may result.
• Tighten
all flare nuts to specification
using
a torque
wrench.
If tightened
too
much,
the flare
nut can break after an extended
period
and refrigerant
can
leak out.
