Drain pipe

Caution

●

Use the new refrigerant pipe.

When re-using the existing pipe system for R22 or R407C, pay attention to the following items.

　・

Change the flare nuts with the attached ones (JIS category 2), and reprocess the flare parts.

　・

Do not use thin-walled pipes.

●

Use phosphorus deoxidized copper alloy seamless pipe (C1220T specified in JIS H3300) for refrigeration pipe installation.

In addition, make sure there is no damage both inside and outside of the pipe, and no harmful

substances such as sulfur, oxide, dust or a contaminant stuck on the pipes.

●

Do not use any refrigerant other than R410A.

Using other refrigerant except R410A (R22 etc.) may degrade inside refrigeration oil. And air getting into

refrigeration circuit may cause over-pressure and resultant it may result in bursting, etc.

●

Store the copper pipes indoors and seal the both end of them until they are brazed in order to avoid any dust, dirt or

water getting into pipe. Otherwise it will cause degradation of refrigeration oil and compressor breakdown, etc.

●

Use special tools for R410 refrigerant.

Piping work

When conducting piping work, make sure to allow the pipes

to be aligned in a straight line for at least 250 mm, as shown

in the left illustration. (This is necessary for the drain pump

to function)

Work procedure

1. Remove the flare nut and blind flanges on the pipe of the indoor unit.

※

Make sure to loosen the flare nut with holding the nut on pipe side with a spanner and giving torque to the

nut with another spanner in order to avoid unexpected stress to the copper pipe, and then remove them.

(Gas may come out at this time, but it is not abnormal.)

●

Pay attention whether the flare nut pops out. (as the indoor unit is sometimes pressured.)

2. Make a flare on liquid pipe and gas pipe, and connect the refrigeration pipes on the indoor unit.

※

Bend the pipe with as big radius as possible and do not bend the pipe repeatedly. In addition,

do not twist and crush the pipes.

※

Do a flare connection as follows:

●

Make sure to loosen the flare nut with holding the nut on pipe side with a spanner and giving

torque to the nut with another spanner in order to avoid unexpected stress to the copper

pipe, and then remove them.

●

When fastening the flare nut, align the refrigeration pipe with the center of flare nut, screw

the nut for 3-4 times by hand and then tighten it by spanner with the specified torque

mentioned in the table below. Make sure to hold the pipe on the indoor unit securely by a

spanner when tightening the nut in order to avoid unexpected stress on the copper pipe.

3. Cover the flare connection part of the indoor unit with attached insulation material after a gas

leakage inspection, and tighten both ends with attached straps.

●

Make sure to insulate both gas pipes and liquid pipes completely.

※

Incomplete insulation may cause dew condensation or water dropping.

4. Refrigerant is charged in the outdoor unit.

As for the additional refrigerant charge for the indoor unit and piping, refer to the installation

manual attached to the outdoor unit.

Caution

●

Install the drain pipe according to the installation manual in order to drain properly.

Imperfection in draining may cause flood indoors and wetting the household goods, etc.

●

Do not put the drain pipe directly into the ditch where toxic gas such as sulfur, the other harmful and

inflammable gas is generated. Toxic gas would flow into the room and it would cause serious

damage to user’s health and safety (some poisoning or deficiency of oxygen). In addition, it may

cause corrosion of heat exchanger and bad smell.

●

Connect the pipe securely to avoid water leakage from the joint.

●

Insulate the pipe properly to avoid condensation drop.

●

Check if the water can flow out properly from both the drain outlet on the indoor unit and the end

of the drain pipe after installation.

●

Make sure to make descending slope of greater than 1/100 and do not make up-down bend and/or trap

in the midway. In addition, do not put air vent on the drain pipe. Check if water is drained out properly from

the pipe during commissioning. Also, keep sufficient space for inspection and maintenance.

Work procedure
1. Make sure to insert the drain hose (the end mode of soft PVC) to the end of the step part of drain

socket.

Attach the hose clamp to the drain hose around 10mm from the end, and fasten the screw within

5mm left to the nut.

　●

Do not apply adhesives on this end.

　●

Do not use acetone-based adhesives to connect to the drain socket.

2. Prepare a joint for connecting VP-20 pipe, adhere and connect the joint to the drain hose

(the end made of rigid PVC), and adhere and connect VP-20 pipe (prepare on site).

※

As for drain pipe, apply VP-20 made of rigid PVC which is on the market.

●

Make sure that the adhesive will not get into the supplied drain hose.

It may cause the flexible part broken after the adhesive is dried up and gets rigid.

●

The flexible drain hose is intended to absorb a small difference at installation of the unit
or drain pipes. Intentional bending, expanding may cause the flexible hose broken and
water leakage.

3. Make sure to make descending slope of greater than 1/100 and do not make up-down bend

and/or trap in the midway.

●

Pay attention not to give stress on the pipe on the indoor unit side, and support and fix the
pipe as close place to the unit as possible when connecting the drain pipe.

●

Do not set up air vent.

●

When sharing a drain pipe for more than
one unit, lay the main pipe 100mm
below the drain outlet of the unit. In
addition, select VP-30 or bigger size for
main drain pipe.

Drain pump operation

○

In case electrical wiring work finished

Drain pump can be operated by remote controller (wired).

For the operation method, refer to Operation for drain pump in the installation manual for wiring
work.

○

In case electrical wiring work not finished

Drain pump will run continuously when the dip switch“SW7-1” on the indoor unit PCB is turned ON, the Connec-

tor CNB is disconnected, and then the power supply (230VAC on the terminal block

①

and

②

) is turned ON.

Make sure to turn OFF “SW7-1” and reconnect the Connector CNB after the test.

●

Electrical installation work must be performed according to the installation manual by an
electrical installation service provider qualified by a power provider of the country, and be
executed according to the technical standards and other regulations applicable to electrical
installation in the country.

Be sure to use an exclusive circuit.

●

Use specified cord, fasten the wiring to the terminal securely, and hold the cord securely in
order not to apply unexpected stress on the terminal.

●

Do not put both power source line and signal line on the same route. It may cause miscommu-
nication and malfunction.

●

Be sure to do D type earth work.

●

For the details of electrical wiring work, see attached instruction manual for electrical wiring
work.

1. Remove a lid of the control box (2 screws).

2. Hold each wiring inside the unit and fasten them to terminal block securely.

3. Fix the wiring with clamps.

4. Install the removed parts back to original place.

Following table shows the maximum external static pressure for models adapted to the fan setting
speed (Hi, UHi). Select at site the fan setting speed according to the external static pressure .

inlet port side of the unit.

●

Fit the duct join with a screw; fit the bottom plate.

●

Make sure to insulate the duct to prevent dewing on it.

④

Install the specific blowout duct in a location where the air will
circulate to the entire room.

●

The duct connection is specific to the 200 circular duct.

●

Conduct the installation of the specific blowout hole and the
connection of the duct before attaching them to the ceiling.

●

Insulate the area where the duct is secured by a band for
dew condensation prevention.

⑤

Make sure provide an inspection hole on the ceiling. It is indispensable to service elecric
equipment, motor, functional components and cleaning of heat exchanger.

①

If a duct is not provided at the suction side but it is substituted with the space over the ceiling,
humidity in the space will increase by the influence of capacity of ventilation fan, strength of
wind blowing against the out door air louver, weather (rainy day) and others.

a)Moisture in air is likely to condense over the external plates of the unit and to drip on the

ceiling. Unit should be operated under the conditions as listed in the above table and within
the limitation of wind volume. When the building is a concrete structure, especially imme-
diately after the construction, humidity tends to rise even if the space over the ceiling is not
substituted in place of a duct. In such occasion, it is necessary to insulate the entire unit with
glass wool (25mm). (Use a wire net or equivalent to hold the glass wool in place.)

b)It may run out the allowable limit of unit operation (Example: When outdoor air temperature

is 35°C DB, suction air temperature is 27°C WB) and it could result in such troubles as
compressor overload, etc..

c)There is a possibility that the blow air volume may exceed the allowable range of operation

due to the capacity of ventilation fan or strength of wind blowing against external air louver
so that drainage from be heat exchanger may fall to reach the drain pan but leak outside
(Example: drip on to the ceiling) with consequential water leakage in the room.

②

If vibration damping is not conducted between the unit and the duct, and between the unit and
the slab, vibration will be transmitted to the duct and vibration noise may occur. Also, vibration
may be transmitted from the unit to the slab. Vibration damping must be performed.

Notice

A specific cover plate is available when changing the 4 spot to the 3 spot, or when changing the
3 spot to the 2 spot.
Note: Do not change from 2 spot to 1 spot.

4. Insulate the drain pipe.

●

Be sure to insulate the drain socket and rigid PVC pipe installed indoors otherwise it may

cause dew condensation and water leakage.

※

After drainage test implementation, cover the drain socket part with pipe cover (small size), then

use the pipe cover (big size) to cover the pipe cover (small size), clamps and part of the drain
hose, and fix and wrap it with tapes to wrap and make joint part gapless.

Drain up

●

The position for drain pipe outlet can be raised up to 600mm above the ceiling. Use elbows for
installation to avoid obstacles inside ceiling. If the horizontal drain pipe is too long before vertical pipe,
the backflow of water will increase when the unit is stopped, and it may cause overflow of water from the
drain pan on the indoor unit. In order to avoid overflow, keep the horizontal pipe length and offset of the
pipe within the limit shown in the figure below.

Otherwise, the construction point makes it same as drain pipe construction.

Drain test

1. Conduct a drain test after completion of the electrical work.

2. During the trail, make sure that drain flows properly through the piping and that no water

leaks from connections.

3. In case of a new building, conduct the test before it is furnished with the ceiling.

4. Be sure to conduct this test even when the unit is installed in the heating season.

Procedures

1. Supply about 1000 cc of water to the unit through the air outlet by using a feed water pump.

2. Check the drain while cooling operation.
