Precautions for devices that use R410A refrigerant

Caution:

• Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.

  • The old refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping contains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the refrigerator oil of the new unit to deteriorate.

• Use refrigerant piping made of C1220 (Cu-DHP) phosphorus deoxidized copper as specified in the JIS H3300 “Copper and copper alloy seamless pipes and tubes”. In addition, be sure that the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes are clean and free of hazardous sulphur, oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other contaminant.

  • Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause the refrigerant residual oil to deteriorate.

• Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of the piping sealed until just before brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in a plastic bag.)

  • If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of the oil and compressor trouble may result.

• Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the refrigerator oil to coat flares and flange connections.

  • The refrigerator oil will degrade if it is mixed with a large amount of mineral oil.

• Use liquid refrigerant to fill the system.

  • If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the composition of the refrigerant in the cylinder will change and performance may drop.

• Do not use a refrigerant other than R410A.

  • If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is used, the chlorine in the refrigerant may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.

• Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.

  • The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant cycle and cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.

• Do not use the following tools that are used with conventional refrigerants.
  (Gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, reverse flow check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge, refrigerant recovery equipment.)

  • If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil are mixed in the R410A, the refrigerant may deteriorated.
  • If water is mixed in the R410A, the refrigerator oil may deteriorate.
  • Since R410A does not contain any chlorine, gas leak detectors for conventional refrigerants will not react to it.

• Do not use a charging cylinder.

  • Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.

• Be especially careful when managing the tools.

  • If dust, dirt, or water gets in the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant may deteriorate

Before getting installed

Caution:

• Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.
  • If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an explosion may result.
• Do not use the air conditioner where food, pets, plants, precision instruments, or artwork are kept.
  • The quality of the food, etc. may deteriorate.
• Do not use the air conditioner in special environments.
  • Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce the performance of the air conditioner or damage its parts.
• When installing the unit in a hospital, communication station, or similar place, provide sufficient protection against noise.
  • The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-frequency medical equipment, or radio communication equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate erroneously, or fail to operate. On the other hand, the air conditioner may affect such equipment by creating noise that disturbs medical treatment or image broadcasting.
• Do not install the unit on a structure that may cause leakage.
  • When the room humidity exceeds 80 % or when the drain pipe is clogged, condensation may drip from the indoor unit. Perform collective drainage work together with the outdoor unit, as required.

Before getting installed (moved) – electrical work

Caution:

• Ground the unit.
  • Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes, lightning rods, or telephone ground lines. Improper grounding may result in electric shock.
• Install the power cable so that tension is not applied to the cable.
  • Tension may cause the cable to break and generate heat and cause a fire.
• Install an leak circuit breaker, as required.
  • If an leak circuit breaker is not installed, electric shock may result.
  • Use power line cables of sufficient current carrying capacity and rating.
  • Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and cause a fire.
• Use only a circuit breaker and fuse of the specified capacity.
  • A fuse or circuit breaker of a larger capacity or a steel or copper wire may result in a general unit failure or fire.
• Do not wash the air conditioner units.
  • Washing them may cause an electric shock.
• Be careful that the installation base is not damaged by long use.
  • If the damage is left uncorrected, the unit may fall and cause personal injury or property damage.
• Be very careful about product transportation.
  • Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs more than 20 kg.
  • Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use any PP bands for a means of transportation. It is dangerous.
  • Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. Doing so may cut your fingers.
  • When transporting the outdoor unit, suspend it at the specified positions on the unit base. Also support the outdoor unit at four points so that it cannot slip sideways.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials.
  • Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries.
  • Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children will not play with them. If children play with a plastic bag which was not torn apart, they face the risk of suffocation.

Before starting the test run

Caution:

• Turn on the power at least 12 hours before starting operation.
  • Starting operation immediately after turning on the main power switch can result in severe damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch turned on during the operational season.
• Do not touch the switches with wet fingers.
  • Touching a switch with wet fingers can cause electric shock.
• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately after operation.
  • During and immediately after operation, the refrigerant pipes are may be hot and may be cold, depending on the condition of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant piping, compressor, and other refrigerant cycle parts. Your hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the refrigerant pipes.
• Do not operate the air conditioner with the panels and guards removed.
  • Rotating, hot, or high-voltage parts can cause injuries.
• Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping operation.

Refrigerant pipe specifications

To avoid dew drops, provide sufficient antisweating and insulating work to the refrigerant and drain pipes.
When using commercially available refrigerant pipes, be sure to wind commercially available insulating material (with a heat-resisting temperature of more than 100 °C and thickness given below) onto both liquid and gas pipes.
Be also sure to wind commercially available insulating material (with a form polyethylene’s specific gravity of 0.03 and thickness given below) onto all pipes which pass through rooms.

1. Select the thickness of insulating material by pipe size.
   Pipe size|

Insulating material’s thickness

---|---

6.4 mm to 25.4 mm

| More than 10 mm
28.6 mm to 38.1 mm|

More than 15 mm

2. If the unit is used on the highest story of a building and under conditions of high temperature and humidity, it is necessary to use pipe size and insulating material’s thickness more than those given in the table above.
3. If there are customer’s specifications, simply follow them.

Connecting refrigerant pipes

Refrigerant piping work

This piping work must be done in accordance with the installation manuals for both outdoor unit and BC controller (simultaneous cooling and heating series R2).

• Series R2 is designed to operate in a system that the refrigerant pipe from an outdoor unit is received by BC controller and branches at the BC controller to connect between indoor units.
• For constraints on pipe length and allowable difference of elevation, refer to the outdoor unit manual.

Cautions On Refrigerant Piping

• Be sure to use non-oxidative brazing for brazing to ensure that no foreign matter or moisture enter into the pipe.
• Be sure to apply refrigerating machine oil over the flare connection seating surface and tighten the connection using a double spanner.
• Provide a metal brace to support the refrigerant pipe so that no load is imparted to the indoor unit end pipe. This metal brace should  beprovided 50 cm away from the indoor unit’s flare connection.

Warning:
When installing and moving the unit, do not charge it with refrigerant other than the refrigerant specified on the unit.

• Mixing of a different refrigerant, air, etc. may cause the refrigerant cycle to malfunction and result in severe damage.

Caution:

• Use refrigerant piping made of C1220 (CU-DHP) phosphorus deoxidized copper as specified in the JIS H3300 “Copper and copper alloy seamless pipes and tubes”. In addition, be sure that the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes are clean and free of hazardous sulphur, oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other contaminant.
• Never use existing refrigerant piping.
  • The large amount of chlorine in conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping will cause the new refrigerant to deteriorate.
• Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of the piping sealed until just before brazing.
  • If dust, dirt, or water gets into the refrigerant cycle, the oil will deteriorate and the compressor may fail.
• Use Suniso 4GS or 3GS (small amount) refrigerator oil to coat the flare and flange connection part. (For models using R22)
• Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the refrigerator oil to coat flares and flange connections. (For models using R410A or R407C)
  • The refrigerant used in the unit is highly hygroscopic and mixes with water and will degrade the refrigerator oil.

Caution:
Install wiring so that it is not tight and under tension. Wiring under tension may break, or overheat and burn.

• Fix power source wiring to control box by using buffer bushing for tensile force. (PG connection or the like.) Connect transmission wiring to transmission terminal block through the knockout hole of control box using ordinary bushing.
• After wiring is complete, make sure again that there is no slack on the connections, and attach the cover onto the control box in the reverse order removal.

Caution:
Wire the power supply so that no tension is imparted. Otherwise disconnection, heating or fire result.

Connecting LEV-kit and thermistor cables

Connecting LEV-kit cables

Connect the lead wire of the linear expansion valve to the controller. Pull the end of wire (ring terminal) through the bunch of wires (LEV kit) at the bottom of the controller.
Connect the lead wire of the expansion valve to the same colored terminal.
When the lead wire is too long, cut it to the appropriate length. Do not bind it in the box.
This time, connect the lead wire to the same colored terminal.

Connecting thermistor cables

Pull the end of the wire through the bunch of wires (Thermistor) at the bottom of the controller.
Connect the thermistor for the inlet air to T1 and T2 on the terminal block, the thermistor on the gas side to T11 and T12, the thermistor on the liquid side to T21 and T22.
When the lead wire is too long, cut it to the appropriate length. Do not bind it in the box.
Take proper measures not to miswire. E.g. Attach a label before the cutting part, so that it is obvious whether the wire is for inlet air, for gas side or for liquid side.

Caution:
Do not route the thermistor cables together with power cables.

Connecting distant signal line

Pull the wires for operation command (pulse maneuvering), for operation signal and for error signal through the bunch of wires (Distant signal) at the bottom of the controller.
