CAUTION
Do not apply excess torque. Otherwise, the nut may crack depending on
the conditions.

Evacuating
After the piping has been connected to the indoor unit, you can perform the
air purge together at once.
AIR PURGE
Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the indoor unit using a
vacuum pump. Do not use the refrigerant in the outdoor unit. For details,
see the manual of the vacuum pump.
•
Tightening torque of
fl
are pipe connections
The operating pressure of R410A
is higher than that of R22 (approx.
1.6 times). It is therefore necessary
to
fi
rmly tighten the
fl
are pipe
connecting sections (which connect
the indoor and outdoor units) up to the
speci
fi
ed tightening torque. Incorrect
connections may cause not only a
gas leakage, but also damage to the
refrigeration cycle.
1. How to shape the pipes
Shape the pipes along the incused line on
the outdoor unit.
2. How to
fi
t position of the pipes
Put the edges of the pipes to the place with
a distance of 85 mm from the incused line.
Shaping pipes
Align the centers of the connecting pipes and tighten the
fl
are nut as far as
possible with your
fi
ngers. Then tighten the nut with a spanner and torque
wrench as shown in the
fi
gure.
Tightening connection
Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-
fl
ow prevention function so that
inside oil of the pump does not
fl
ow backward into pipes of the air conditioner
when the pump stops.
(If oil inside of the vacuum pump enters the air conditioner, which use R410A,
refrigeration cycle trouble may result.)
1. Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve to the service port of the
packed valve at gas side.
2. Connect the charge hose to the port of the vacuum pump.
3. Open fully the low pressure side handle of the gauge manifold valve.
4. Operate the vacuum pump to start evacuating. Perform evacuating for
about 15 minutes if the piping length is 20 meters. (15 minutes for 20 meters)
(assuming a pump capacity of 27 liters per minute) Then con
fi
rm that the
compound pressure gauge reading is –101 kPa (–76 cmHg).
5. Close the low pressure side valve handle of the gauge manifold valve.
6. Open fully the valve stem of the packed valves (both gas and liquid sides).
7. Remove the charging hose from the service port.
8. Securely tighten the caps on the packed valves.

CAUTION
•
KEEP IMPORTANT 5 POINTS FOR PIPING WORK.
(1) Take away dust and moisture (inside of the connecting pipes).
(2) Tighten the connections (between pipes and unit).
(3) Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using a VACUUM PUMP.
(4) Check gas leak (connected points).
(5) Be sure to fully open the packed valves before operation.

• Open the valve stem all the way out, but do not try to open it beyond the
stopper.
• Securely tighten the valve cap with torque in the following table.

Electrical Work
1. The power supply line must be supplied to outdoor unit.
2. The supply voltage must be the same as the rated voltage of the air
conditioner.
3. Prepare the power source for exclusive use with the air conditioner.
NOTE
• Wire type : More than H07RN-F or 60245 IEC66 (1.5 mm
2
or more)
• Connection to
fi
xed wiring:
A switch or circuit breaker which disconnects all poles and has a
contact separation of at least 3 mm must be incorporated in the
fi
xed
wiring. An approved circuit breaker or switches must be used.
• Perform wiring works so as to allow a general wiring capacity.
