PRECAUTIONS FOR SELECTING THE LOCATION
The BD unit is for indoor use. Install in a location such as above a ceiling or behind a wall in accordance with the following conditions:

• That the unit is fully supported, and is in a location with little or no vibration.
• That the refrigerant pipes for the indoor and outdoor units can be repaired with ease, and that the units are placed well within the distance from each other allowed by the pipe length.
• That there is nothing nearby that produces heat or steam(gas).
• When installing, that there is enough carity for servicing the unit.
• Do not install in location that is hot or humid for long periods of time.
• A well-ventilated area.
• Do not install near bedrooms. The sound of refrigerant flowing through the piping may sometimes be audible. For restrictions on installation, refer to “INSTALLATION”.

System Layout and Piping Length

For installation of the indoor units. Follow the instructions in the installation manual for each unit.

System Layout

Distributor Unit

Do not connect more than 8 indoor units together choose the distributor unit type (2rooms,3rooms or 4rooms) according to the installation pattern

NOTICE

1. Should assemble more than 40% (19k) of standard capacity (48k) in the outdoor unit and with over 2 indoor units.
2. Should use the private distributor (PMBD7230) in case of 30k and 36k indoor units.

Installation

• This unit may be installed suspended from the ceiling or mounted on the wall.
• This unit may only be installed horizontally , as shown in the diagram below.(Side B is facing up) However, it may be freely installed in any direction forward or back, and to the sides.
• Be sure to leave a 600mm square opening for service and inspection as shown in the diagram below, for both ceiling – suspended installation and wall-mounted installation.
• This unit “does not require drain treatment” as it uses internal foam treatment as low-pressure piping insulation.
• Service direction is the side B and C
• The piping for the indoor unit may be led around in direction A
• The inclination of side B must be within ±5°C degrees forward or back or to the sides.

Installation of The Main Unit

NOTICE

• This unit has two different installation types:
  (1) Ceiling-suspended type and (2) wall-mounted type.

• Choose the proper installation pattern according to the location of installation.

• The installation location for printed wiring board can be changed.
  Follow the procedure specified in the “CONNECTING THE WIRING” section to change the location.

(1) Ceiling-suspended type
(2) Wall-mounted type

(1) Ceiling-suspended type
(2) Wall-mounted type

Procedure

1. Fix the fumished hanger metal with two screws.(4 locations in total).
2. Using an insert-hole-in- anchor, hang the hanging bolt.
3. Install a hexagon nut and a flat washer (locally-procured)to the hanging bolt as shown in the figure in the left, and ift the main unit to hang on the hanger metal.
4. After checking with a level that the unit is level, tighten the hexagon nut.

• The tilt of the unit should be within ±5° in front/back and left/right. Procedure

   Ø19.05| 3/4| 7.
2. Tighten the flare nut with a wrench.

Wrap the insulation material around the connecting portion.

1. Overlap the connection pipe insulation material and the indoor unit pipe insulation material. Bind them together with vinyl tape so that there is no gap.
2. Wrap the area which accommodates the rear piping housing section with vinyl tape.

Close up a socket for unoccupied room with a brass cap.

1. Align the center of the piping and sufficiently tighten the brass cap by hand.
2. Tighten the brass cap with a wrench.
3. Wrap the joint part with insulation.

CAUTIONS

• Never use the plastic cap for sealing.
• Make sure to use brass cap with the end of pipe sealed or welded tightly.

Connection of Wiring

• Connect refrigerant pipes and connection wires to the appropriate ports maked with matching alphabets (A, B and C) on this unit.
• Follow the instructions on the wiring nameplate to connect the connection wires of indoor/outdoor units to terminal board numbers.(1, 2 and 3) Always fix each ground wire separately with a ground screw.(See the figure below.)
• After completing the wiring, fix the outer coating of wires securely with wire clamps. The wire clamp on indoor unit side is furnished. Follow the procedure below to install.
• Refer to the circuit diagram on the control cover inside outdoor unit.

NOTICE:
The terminal board numbers are arranged from top to bottom in order of 1, 2 and 3.
In Case of 3 rooms Warning
Do not use tapped wires, stand wires, extensioncords, or starbust connections, as they may cause overtheating, electrical shock, or fire.
