Installation
• Install the air conditioner securely in a location where the base can
sustain the weight adequately. If the strength is not enough, the unit
may fall down resulting in injury.
• Follow the instructions in the Installation Manual to install the air
conditioner. Failure to follow these instructions may cause the
product to fall down or topple over or give rise to noise, vibration,
water leakage or other trouble.
• Carry out the specified installation work to guard against the
possibility of high winds and earthquake. If the air conditioner is not
installed appropriately, a unit may topple over or fall down, causing an
accident.
• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the
room immediately. If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with
fire, noxious gas may be generated, which may catch a fire.
• Use forklift to carry in the air conditioner units and use winch or hoist
at installation of them.
• The installation of pipe work shall be kept to a minimum.
Refrigerant piping
• Install the refrigerant pipe securely during the installation work before
operating the air conditioner. If the compressor is operated with the
valve open and without refrigerant pipe, the compressor sucks air and
the refrigeration cycles is over pressurized, which may cause an
injury.
• Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner.
Excessive tighten of the flare nut may cause a crack in the flare nut
after a long period, which may result in refrigerant leakage.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source,
such as a cooking range, noxious gas may be generated, which may
catch a fire.
• When the air conditioner has been installed or relocated, follow the
instructions in the Installation Manual and purge the air completely so
that no gases other than the refrigerant will be mixed in the
refrigerating cycle. Failure to purge the air completely may cause the
air conditioner to malfunction.
• Nitrogen gas must be used for the airtight test.
• The charge hose must be connected in such a way that it is not slack.
Electrical wiring
• Only a qualified installer (*1) or qualified service person (*1) is
allowed to carry out the electrical work of the air conditioner. Under
no circumstances must this work be done by an unqualified individual
since failure to carry out the work properly may result in electric
shocks and/or electrical leaks.
• To connect the electrical wires, repair the electrical parts or undertake
other electrical jobs, wear gloves to provide protection for electricians
insulating shoes and clothing to provide protection from electric
shocks. Failure to wear this protective gear may result in electric
shocks.
• Use wiring that meets the specifications in the Installation Manual and
the stipulations in the local regulations and laws. Use of wiring which
does not meet the specifications may give rise to electric shocks,
electrical leakage, smoking and/or a fire.
• Connect earth wire. (Grounding work)
Incomplete earthing causes an electric shock.
• Do not connect earth wires to gas pipes, water pipes, and lightning
conductor or telephone earth wires.
• After completing the repair or relocation work, check that the earth
wires are connected properly.
• Install a circuit breaker that meets the specifications in the installation
manual and the stipulations in the local regulations and laws.
• Install the circuit breaker where it can be easily accessed by the
agent.
• When installing the circuit breaker outdoors, install one which is
designed to be used outdoors.
• Under no circumstances, the power supply wire or the indoor and
outdoor connecting wire must not be connected in the middle
(Connection using a solderless terminal etc.)
Connection trouble in the places where the wire is connected in the
middle may give rise to smoking and/or a fire.
• Electrical wiring work shall be conducted according to law and
regulation in the community and installation manual.
Failure to do so may result in electrocution or short circuit.
• Check that wiring will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive
pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental
effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or
continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
