FOR SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.
• The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.

WARNING

.......... Incorrect methods of installation may cause death or serious injury.

CAUTION

.......... Improper installation may result in serious consequence.

Make sure to connect earth line.

This sign in the figures indicates prohibition.

Be sure that the unit operates in proper condition after installation. Explain to customer the proper operation and maintenance of
the unit as described in the user' s guide. Ask a customer to keep this installation manual together with the instruction manual.

WARNING

Please request your sales agent or qualified technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or fire may occur if you do the
installation work yourself.

Please observe the installation stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may cause
water leakage, electric shock and fire.

Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not, the units may
collapse and impose danger.

Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when dealing
with the electrical work. Use cables which are approved official in your country. Be sure to use the specified circuit. A short circuit and
fire may occur due to the use of low quality wire or improper work.

Be sure to use the specified cables for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight after the
conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals to prevent the external force is being applied to the connection section of the
terminal base. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating and fire.

Please use the specified components for installation work. Otherwise, the unit may collapse or water leakage, electric shock, fire or
stronger vibration may occur.

Be sure to use the specified piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.

When installing or transferring an air conditioner to another location, make sure that air other than the specified refrigerant (R410A)
does not enter the refrigeration cycle. If other air should enter, the pressure level of the refrigeration cycle may increase abnormally
which could result in a rupture and injury.

Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire, a poisonous gas may
occur.

After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the
room, coming into contact with fire in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.

Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a qualified air conditioner
technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and fire, etc.

Be sure to connect the earth line from the power supply wire to the outdoor unit and between
the outdoor and indoor unit. Do not connect the earth line to the gas tube, water pipe, lighting rod or the earth line of the
telephone unit. Improper earthing may cause electric shocks.

When finishing the refrigerant collection (pumping down), stop the compressor and then remove the coolant pipe.
If you remove the refrigerant pipe while the compressor is operating and the service valve is released, air is sucked and a
pressure in the freezing cycle system will build up steeply, causing an explosion or injury.

When installing the unit, be sure to install the refrigerant pipe before starting the compressor.
If the refrigerant pipe is not installed and the compressor is operated with the service valve released, air is sucked and the
pressure level of the refrigeration cycle may increase abnormally which could result in a rupture and injury.

CAUTION

A circuit breaker must be installed in the house distribution box for the direct connected power supply cables to the
outdoor unit. In case of other installations a main switch with a contact gap or more than 3mm has to be installed.
Without a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.

Do not install the unit near a location where there is flammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch fire
if flammable gas leaks around it.

Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose. Improper installing may wet your funiture.

An IEC approved power cord should be used. Power cord type: NYM.

INDOOR UNIT

WARNING

THE CHOICE OF MOUNTING SITE

(Please note the following matters and obtain permission from customer before installation.)

• The unit should be mounted at stable, non-vibratory location

which can provide full support to the unit.

CAUTION

• No nearby heat source and no obstruction near the air

outlet is allowed.

• The clearance distances from top, right and left are

specified in figure below.

• The location must be convenient for water drainage and

pipe connection with the Outdoor unit.

• To avoid interference from noise, please place the unit and

its remote controller at least 1m from the radio and
television.

• To avoid any error in signal transmission from the remote

controller, please put the controller far away from high-
frequency machines and high-power wireless systems.

OUTDOOR UNIT

WARNING

• The Outdoor unit must be mounted at a location which can

support heavy weight. Otherwise, noise and vibration will
increase.

CAUTION

• Do not expose the unit under direct sunshine or rain.

Besides, ventilation must be good and clear of obstruction.

• The air blown out of the unit should not point directly to

animals or plants.

• The clearances of the unit from top, left, right and front are

specified in figure below. At least two of the above sides
must be open air.

• The installation height should be at least 2,300 mm or more

from the floor.

• Be sure that the hot air blown out of the unit and noise do

not disturb the neighbourhood.

• Do not install at a location where there is flammable gas,

steam, oil and smoke.

• The location must be convenient for water drainage.
• Place the Outdoor unit and its connecting cord at least 1 m

away from the antenna or signal line of television, radio or
telephone. This is to avoid noise interference.

insufficient, please use commercial
products.)

• The refrigerating machine oil is

easily affected by moisture. Use
caution to prevent water from

used. Power cord type: NYM.

WARNING

Be sure that the wire is not
in contact with any metal in
the wall. Please use the
protection pipe as wire
passing through the hollow
part of the wall so as to
prevent the possibility of
damaged by mouse.
Unless it seals completely,
any air with high humidity
flows from outdoor and any
dew may drop.

PIPING FROM THE LEFT SIDE (BACKWARD, DOWNWARD, HORIZONTAL)

Preparation

Changed of Drain Hose and Installation Procedures.
• Exchange the location of drain hose and drain cap while installing the pipe from the left side as

shown in below. Be sure to plug in the drain hose until the insulating material folds upon itself.

• Please use pliers to pull out the drain cap.

(This is an easier way to remove the drain
cap).

CAUTION

Insufficient insert may
result in water leakage.

Cutting Low Cover bush
• While installing the pipe from the right, left or

bottom side, use a knife to cut openings as
shown in figure. Then smoothen the edges of
openings with a file.

Openings

• Push the pipe deeply until the insulating

section of the drain hose end gets over the
rib at the indoor unit side.

CAUTION

• The rubber strap used for fixing the insulator

should not be tied with great force. Otherwise,
this will damage heat insulation and causes
water condensation.

• Please pull the lower part of the Indoor unit

outwards to check if the unit is hooked onto
the hanger. Improper installation may cause
vibration and noise.

• Transform the piping while holding down the

lower portion of pipe-support by hand.

INSTALLATION AFTER CONNECTION OF REFRIGERATING PIPES

• The refrigerating pipe should be adjusted to fit into

the hole on the wall and then ready for further
connection.

• The terminals of 2 connected pipes must be covered

with insulator used for terminal connection. Then the
pipes are wrapped with insulation pipe.

• Connect the connecting cord after removing low

cover.
(Refer to "CONNECTION OF POWER CORD")

• After adjustment, fit the connecting cord and pipes

into the space available under the unit. Use holder to
hold them tight.

• Holder can be attached at the either of 2 places.

Please select the easier position.
