Outdoor Unit
Installation Manual
WARNING
· Speci¿ed tools and pipe parts for model R32 are required, and installation
work must be done in accordance with the manual. HFC type refrigerant R32 has
1.6 Times more pressure than that of conventional refrigerant (R22). Use the
speci¿ed pipe parts, and ensure correct installation, otherwise damage and/or
injury may be caused. At the same time, water leakage, electrical shock, and
¿re may occur.
· Be sure to install the unit in a place which can suf¿ciently bear its
weight. If the load bearing of the unit is not enough, or installation of the
unit is improper, the unit may fall and result in injury.
· Electrical work must be performed by a quali¿ed electrical engineer in
accordance with the code governing such installation work, internal wiring
regulations, and the manual. A dedicated circuit and the rated voltage must be
used. Insuf¿cient power supply or improper installation may cause electrical
shock or ¿re.
· Use a cabtyre cable to connect wires in the indoor/outdoor units. Midway
connection, stranded wire, and single-wire connections are not allowed.
Improper connection or ¿xing may cause a ¿re.
· Wiring between the indoor unit and outdoor units must be well shaped so that
the cover can be ¿rmly placed. Improper cover installation may cause increased
heat, ¿re, or electrical shock at the terminal area.
· Be sure to use only approved accessories or the speci¿ed parts. Failure to
do so may cause the unit to fall, water leakage, ¿re or electrical shock.
· After the installation work, ensure that there is no leakage of refrigerant
gas. If the refrigerant gas leaks out of the pipe into the room and is heated
by ¿re or something else from a fan heater, stove or gas range, it causes
generation of poisonous gas.
· Make sure the equipment is properly earthed. Do not connect the earth wire
to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning conductor, or telephone earth wire.
Improper earth work may be the cause of electrical shock.
· Do not install the unit where Àammable gas may leak. If there is any gas
leakage or accumulation around the unit, it can cause a ¿re.
· Do not select a location for installation where there may be excessive water
or humidity, such as a bathroom. Deterioration of insulation may cause
electrical shock or ¿re.
WARNING
· Installation work must be performed following the instructions in this
installation manual. Improper installation may cause water leakage, electrical
shock or ¿re. Check the following items before operating the unit. – Be sure
that the pipe connection is well placed and there are no leaks. – Check that
the service valve is open. If the service valve is closed, it may cause

Installation Manual
WARNING
· The installation of pipe work shall be kept to a minimum. · The following
must be certainly done during pump down.
· Do not incorporate air into the refrigeration cycle. · Close the 2 service
valves. Stop the compressor and remove the refrigerant pipe. If the
refrigerant pipe is removed when the compressor is operating and service
valves are opened, the refrigerant cycle will inhale unwanted matter such as
air and the pressure in the cycle becomes abnormally elevated. It may cause a
burst or injury. · Do not modify the power cable, connect the cable midway, or
use a multiple outlet extension cable. Doing so may cause contact failure,
insulation failure, or excess current, resulting in ¿re or electrical shock. ·
If you detect any damage, do not install the unit. Contact your supplying
dealer immediately. · Never modify this unit by removing any of the safety
guards or bypassing any of the safety interlock switches. · Do not wash air
conditioners with pressure washers. Electric leaks may cause electric shocks
or ¿res. · Be sure to comply with local regulations/codes when running the
wire from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. (Size of wire and wiring method
etc.) · When installing the air conditioner in a small room, provide
appropriate measures to ensure that the concentration of refrigerant leakage
occur in the room does not exceed the critical level. It is not dangerous
refrigerant; it has not toxicity. However, a concentration above 0.3 kg/m³ as
criterion still causes suffocation. The volume of refrigerant charged to the
multi system air conditioner is more than the volume charged to a conventional
individual system. · Before operating the air conditioner after having
completed the work, check that the electrical parts control box cover of the
indoor unit and valve cover of the outdoor unit are closed, and set the
circuit breaker to the ON position. You may receive an electric shock etc. if
the power is turned on without ¿rst conducting these checks. · Make sure drain
hose insulation if cooling operation is used at sub-zero ambient temperature.
WARNING
· After installation work, make sure below before operation. – Connection
pipes are connected properly and no leakage. – Packed valves are fully open.
Running compressor without open packed valves may cause abnormal high pressure
and parts failure. Leakage at connection piping may suck air and make further
high pressure cause burst and injure.
· During pump down work make sure below process. – Don’t mix air into the
refrigerant cycle. – Stop the compressor before removing piping after packed
valves are fully closed. Removing piping under the compressor running and
packed valves open, air might be sucked and refrigeration cycle pressure
becomes abnormally high, and it causes burst or injury on persons.

5 Installation of outdoor unit
Installation Location
A place which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and does not cause an
increase in noise level and vibration.
A place where the operation noise and air discharge do not disturb neighbours.
A place which is not exposed to strong wind. A place free of combustible gas.
A place which does not block a passageway. A place where the drain water does
not cause any problems. A place where there are no obstructions near its air
intake or air discharge.
Installation in the following places may result in trouble: A place with a lot
of machine oil. A place with saline-rich atmosphere such as a coastal area. A
place with high level of sulfide gas. A place where high-frequency waves are
likely to be generated, such as
from audio equipment, welders, or medical equipment. Do not install the unit
in such places.
CAUTION
When the outdoor unit is installed in a place where the drain water might
cause any problems, Seal the water leakage point tightly using a silicone
adhesive or caulking compound.
Precautions for Installation
When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an elevated position, be sure to
secure its feet.
If the outdoor unit is to be mounted on a wall, make sure the base plate
supporting it is sturdy enough.
The base plate should be designed and manufactured to maintain its strength
over a long period of time, and sufficient consideration should be given to
ensure that the outdoor unit will not fall.
When the outdoor unit is installed in a place that is always exposed to strong
wind such as a coastal area or on a high story of a building, secure the
normal fan operation using a duct or a wind shield.
Especially in windy areas, install the unit in such a way as to prevent the
admission of wind.
When the outdoor unit is to be mounted high on a wall, take particular care to
ensure that parts do not fall, and that the installer is protected.
When doing installation work at ground level, it is usual to make wiring and
pipe connections to the indoor units first, and then to make connections to
the outdoor units. However, if outdoor work is difficult, you can change the
procedure. For example, by making adjustments to the wiring and piping lengths
on the inside (rather than the outside).
When using an air conditioner under low outside temperature conditions
(Outside temp: -5 °C or lower) In COOL mode, prepare a duct or wind shield so
that it is not affected by the wind.
Necessary Space for Installation
If you need to install the outdoor unit in a location where there are some
obstructions or a wall, secure sufficient space as shown in the figure below.
The cooling/heating effect may be reduced by 10%.

sure to tighten the nut at the specified torque value.
If you use one outdoor unit for several indoor units of a different class,
connect the largest one first A, then connect the rest in the order B.
Do not remove the flare nuts for any ports you are not going to use for
connection.
Do not leave the flare nut unattached for a long period of time. Use a
different-diameter joint if the diameters of the connection port and
connection piping are different. Mount the different-diameter joint on the
connection port of the outdoor
unit.

KEEP IMPORTANT 7 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. (6) Reusable mechanical connectors and flared joints
are not allowed indoors. When mechanical connectors are reused indoors,
sealing parts shall be renewed. When flared joints are reused indoors, the
flare part shall be refabricated. (7) Don’t operate air conditioner in case no
refrigerant in the system.
Air Purge
From the sake of environmental protection, use a vacuum pump to extract the
air during installation. * Prepare a 4 mm hexagon wrench. 1. Connect a charge
hose.
Make sure that the Handle Hi of the gauge manifold valve is closed fully.
Connect the port of the gauge manifold valve and the service port
(Valve core (Setting Pin)) using the charge hose.
NOTE
If a control valve or charge valve is attached to the charge hose, leak of R32
refrigerant can be avoided.
2. Open the Handle Low of the gauge manifold valve fully, then operate the
vacuum pump. Loosen the flare nut of the at the gas end a little to make sure
that air is taken in, then tighten the nut. If you find air is not taken in,
make sure that the charge hose is connected to the port(s) securely. Perform
extraction for about 15 or more minutes and make sure that the compound
pressure gauge reading is 101 kPa (76 cmHg). If the compound pressure gauge
reading is not 101 kPa (76 cmHg), there is a possibility air is being taken
in from the port(s). Make sure that the charge hose is connected to the
port(s) securely.
3. Close the Handle Low of the gauge manifold valve fully, then stop
operating the vacuum pump. Leave the gauge and pump as they are for 1 or 2
minutes, then make sure that the compound pressure gauge reading stays at 101
kPa (76 cmHg). You need not add refrigerant.

8 Grounding
This air conditioner must be grounded without fail. Grounding is necessary not
only to safeguard against the possibility
of receiving an electric shock but also to absorb both static, which is
generated by high frequencies and held in the surface of the outdoor unit, and
noise since the air conditioner incorporates a frequency conversion device
(called an inverter) in the outdoor unit. If the air conditioner is not
grounded, users may receive an electric shock if they touch the surface of the
outdoor unit and that unit is charged with static.

10. Notes
It sometimes takes about 30 minutes maximum for the check. During the check,
the compressor and the fan of the outdoor/indoor unit
repeat ON/OFF. You cannot check wiring/piping when the external temperature is
5°C
or less. Also, there is a possibility to misjudge if the indoor temperature
becomes too low by cooling operation. In that case, execute the cooling
operation for per room and check if the connection is normal.
Gas Leak Inspection
Refer to the ” Gas Leak Inspection” on page 12.
Test run
1. If you perform the test run in summer, start running in the cooling mode
first to decrease the temperature of the room, then run in the heating mode.
(Heating mode: Set the temperature to 30°C.) If you perform the test run in
winter, start running in the heating mode first to increase the temperature of
the room, then run in the cooling mode. (Cooling mode: Set the temperature to
17°C.)
2. For the test run, be sure to satisfy the following conditions below: –
Perform the test run for each indoor unit respectively. – Perform the test run
for about 10 minutes in both the cooling mode and the heating mode. You can
perform the test run in the cooling/heating mode by utilizing the thermo
sensor of the indoor unit. Cooling mode: Warm the thermo sensor using an
appliance such as a hair dryer. Heating mode: Put a cold towel on the thermo
sensor.
Instructions for the Customers
Explain to the customers the proper operation procedure and let them operate
the air conditioner along with the supplied instruction manual.
When multiple indoor units are connected to the outdoor unit, the cooling mode
and the heating mode are not available at the same time. When multiple indoor
units are running at the same time, the operation mode of the unit which
starts running first is applied to the other units.
When you start running the indoor unit or change the operation mode, the unit
starts running after 3 minutes. This is due to the protection function of the
unit, not a malfunction.
When the external temperature becomes low, the pre-heating of the compressor
starts to protect it. Keep the circuit breaker on for use. The electricity
consumption during pre-heating is about 30 W. If the circuit breaker is turned
off, the indoor unit may not start running for about 10 minutes or more.
Electronic expansion valves are used for the outdoor unit. When you turn on
the power, the outdoor unit starts clattering every 1 or 2 months. This
clattering is not a malfunction, but occurs when the unit is returning to the
default setting for optimised control.
While an indoor unit is running in the heating mode, the outdoor unit supplies
refrigerant to the other indoor units which are not running. Therefore, noise
may come from the other indoor units or the exterior of them may become warm.

Pump-down Operation (Recovering refrigerant)
CAUTION
Since the forcible running for collecting refrigerant stops automatically
after 10 minutes, finish collecting refrigerant within 10 minutes.
Electric current is applied on the control board. Beware of electric shock.
The following must be certainly done during pump down. Do not incorporate air
into the refrigeration cycle. Close the service valves. Stop the compressor
and remove the refrigerant pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is removed when the
compressor is operating and service valves are opened, the refrigerant cycle
will inhale unwanted matter such as air and the pressure in the cycle becomes
abnormally elevated. It may cause a burst or injury.

Work instructions
The existing R22 and R410A piping can be reused for inverter R32 product
installations.
WARNING
Con¿rming the existence of scratches or dents on the existing pipes and
con¿rming the reliability of the pipe strength are conventionally referred to
the local site. If the speci¿ed conditions can be cleared, it is possible to
update existing R22 and R410A pipes to those for R32 models.
Basic conditions needed to reuse existing pipes
Check and observe the presence of three conditions in the refrigerant piping
works. 1. Dry (There is no moisture inside of the pipes.) 2. Clean (There is
no dust inside of the pipes.) 3. Tight (There are no refrigerant leaks.)
Restrictions for use of existing pipes
In the following cases, the existing pipes should not be reused as they are.
Clean the existing pipes or exchange them with new pipes. 1. When a scratch or
dent is heavy, be sure to use
new pipes for the refrigerant piping works. 2. When the existing pipe
thickness is thinner than the
speci¿ed “Pipe diameter and thickness,” be sure to use new pipes for the
refrigerant piping works.
· The operating pressure of R32 is high (1.6 times that of R22). If there is a
scratch or dent on the pipe or a thinner pipe is used, the pressure strength
may be inadequate, which may cause the pipe to break in the worst case.

3. When the outdoor unit was left with the pipes disconnected, or the gas
leaked from the pipes and the pipes were not repaired and re¿lled. · There is
the possibility of rain water or air, including moisture, entering the pipe.
4. When refrigerant cannot be recovered using a refrigerant recovery unit.
· There is the possibility that a large quantity of dirty oil or moisture
remains inside the pipes.
5. When a commercially available dryer is attached to the existing pipes.
· There is the possibility that copper green rust has been generated.
6. When the existing air conditioner is removed after refrigerant has been
recovered. Check if the oil is judged to be clearly different from normal oil.
· The refrigerator oil is copper rust green in color: There is the possibility
that moisture has mixed with the oil and rust has been generated inside the
pipe.
· There is discolored oil, a large quantity of residue, or a bad smell.
· A large quantity of shiny metal dust or other wear residue can be seen in
the refrigerant oil.
7. When the air conditioner has a history of the compressor failing and being
replaced.
· When discolored oil, a large quantity of residue, shiny metal dust, or other
wear residue or mixture of foreign matter is observed, trouble will occur.
8. When temporary installation and removal of the air conditioner are
repeated such as when leased etc.
9. If the type of refrigerator oil of the existing air conditioner is other
than the following oil (Mineral oil), Suniso, Freol-S, MS (Synthetic oil),
alkyl benzene (HAB, Barrel-freeze), ester series, PVE only of ether series.
· The winding-insulation of the compressor may deteriorate.
10. When total pipe length is longer than the maximum length for total unit,
speci¿ed in clause 3, be sure to use new pipes for the refrigerant piping
works.
NOTE
The above descriptions are results have been con¿rmed by our company and
represent our views on our air conditioners, but do not guarantee the use of
the existing pipes of air conditioners that have adopted R32 in other
companies.
Curing of pipes
When removing and opening the indoor or outdoor unit for a long time, cure the
pipes as follows: · Otherwise rust may be generated when moisture
or foreign matter due to condensation enters the pipes. · The rust cannot be
removed by cleaning, and new pipes are necessary.
