1. Safety precautions
1.3. Before electric work
A\ 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 cabies.
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
ZX 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
AX 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-
hess. (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, alkylbenzene
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.
2. Installation location
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.

« 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.
