7-6-5. Final Installation Checks
Do not apply the refrigerator oil to the flare surface.
Existing pipe: NO * Use a new pipes.
Clean the pipes or use the new pipes.
Trial run
Is it possible to operate the existing air conditioner?
Was not largely discolored oil or
a large quantity of remains discharged?
(When the oil deteriorates, the color of the
oil changes to muddy and black color.)
∗
After the existing air conditioner operated in cooling mode
for approx. 30 minutes or longer*, recover the refrigerant.
∗
For cooling the pipes and recovering of oil
• Refrigerant recovery: Pump down method
∗
Remove the existing air conditioner from the piping and
carry out flashing (nitrogen pressure 0.5 Mpa) to remove
the remains inside of the pipe.
Note] In case of twin, also be sure to flash the
branching
pipe.
Connect the indoor/outdoor units to the existing pipe.
• Use a flare nut attached to the main unit for the
indoor/outdoor
units.
(Do not use the flare nut of the existing pipe.)
• Re-machine the flare machining size to size for R410A.

In case that the gas pipe Ø19 mm is used for the
outdoor unit of SM803 (3 HP) or higher:
(Gas pipe size of our R410A model 3 is Ø15.9 mm)

Turn the existing pipe switch on the cycle control
P.C board of the outdoor unit to ON side.
At shipment from factory OFF

ON for existing pipe
(Refer to the table below.) (Be sure to set the contents
in the table below in order to restrict the refrigerating
cycle pressure of the equipment in the pipe standard.)

(If there is discharge of remains,
it is judged that there is a large quantity of remains.)
