SAFETY PRECAUTION

l

  Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.

l

  The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.

Be sure that the unit operates in proper condition after installation. Explain to customer the proper way of operating 
the unit as described in the user’s guide.

WARNING

!

l

  Please request your sales agent or quali

fi

 ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or 

fi

 re may occur if 

you do the installation work yourself.

l

 Unauthorized modi

fi

 cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a quali

fi

 ed  air 

conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and 

fi

 re,  etc.

l

  Be sure to connect the earth wire from the power supply wire to the outdoor unit and between the outdoor and indoor 

unit. Improper earthing may cause electric shock.

l

  Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may 

cause water leakage, electric shock and 

fi

 re.

l

  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.

l

  Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when 

dealing with the electrical work. Use wire which is approved of

fi

 cial in your country. A short circuit and 

fi

 re may occur due 

to the use of low quality wire or improper work.

l

  Be sure to use the speci

fi

 ed wire 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. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating 
and 

fi

 re.

l

  Please use the speci

fi

 ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage, electric shock 

and 

fi

 re may occur.

l

  When installing or transferring an air conditioner to another location, make sure that air other than the speci

fi

 ed  refrigerant 

(R410A) does not enter the refrigeration cycle. If other air should enter, the pressure level of the refrigeration cycle may 
increase abnormally high leading to possibility of unit rupture.

l

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

fi

 re, a poisonous 

gas may occur.

l

  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 

fi

 re in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.

l

  Be sure to use the speci

fi

 ed piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.

l

  When installing or removing an air conditioner, do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, 

pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a rupture may be caused.

CAUTION

!

l

  A circuit breaker must be installed in the house distribution box for the direct connected power supply wire 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.

l

  Do not install the unit near a location where there is 

fl

 ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch 

fi

 re  if 

fl

 ammable 

gas leaks around it. Piping shall be suitable supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.

l

  Please ensure smooth 

fl

 ow of water when installing the drain hose.

l

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

THE CHOICE OF MOUNTING SITE

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

!

WARNING

l

  The unit should be mounted at stable, non-vibratory 

location which can provide full support to the unit.

!

WARNING

l

  No nearby heat source and no obstruction near the air 

outlet is allowed.

l

  The clearance distances from top, right and left are 

speci

fi

 ed  in 

fi

 gure  below.

l

  The location must be convenient for water drainage and 

pipe connection with the outdoor unit.

l

  To avoid interference from noise, please place the unit 

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

l

  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.

[Indoor unit installation]

CAUTION

Always install the indoor unit at level. If the 
indoor unit is inclined, water may leak.

!

Be sure to completely 
seal any gap with putty.

l

 The connecting pipe, 

irrespective of the size, 
should all be insulated 
with insulation pipe and 
then wrapped with vinyl 
tape. (The insulator will 
deteriorate if it is not 
wrapped with tape).

Drain pipe
Must be installed separately. 
Insulate indoor part of pipe to 
prevent condensation.

The indoor piping should

please use commercial 
products.)

  “Height difference” and “Piping length” of Indoor and Outdoor unit are different by Outdoor unit.

 

Please refer to the installation manual in Outdoor unit.

2.  Installation procedure and notice

 

Select the installation location carefully for the split type 
air conditioner. It is very dif

fi

 cult to move a split type air 

conditioner after the 

fi

 rst installation. 

2.1 

Make a hole on the wall as shown in Fig. 2-1.

l

 The hole on the wall 

should be made 
with some inclination 
like Fig. 2-1 to keep 
the smooth 

fl

 ow  of 

condensed water.

2.2  Connecting pipe installation

 

l

  Seal the end of the pipes to prevent damage from 

moisture and water.

2.3  Drain pipe installation

 

l

  Use PVC pipe VP20 (O.D. 25mm) for drain pipe.

 

l

  You must roll an insulation (thickness 10mm or more) over the indoor section of the drain pipe.

 

l

  Position the drain pipe in the downward direction to enable free-

fl

 ow of water. Fix it with a hanger and avoid twisting the pipe as 

shown in Fig. 2-3.

2.4 Installation method of unit type

 

INSTALLATION OF FULL DUCT TYPE

l

 Select the indoor unit position, 

fi

 xing direction of air outlet so

fi

 tted 

fi

 lter and
