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 sulfur, 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 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 deteriorate.
- 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 generate heat and cause a fire.
- Install a leak circuit breaker, as required.
- If a 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.
- Install the drain piping according to this Installation Manual to ensure proper drainage. Wrap thermal insulation around the pipes to prevent condensation.
- Improper drain piping may cause water leakage and damage to furniture and other possessions.
Be very careful about product transportation.
- Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs more than 20 kg [45 LBS].
- Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use any PP bands as 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 that 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 the 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.

Connecting refrigerant pipes and drain pipes
Refrigerant piping work
This piping work must be done by the installation manuals for both the outdoor
unit and BC controller (simultaneous cooling and heating series R2).
- Series R2 is designed to operate in a system in which the refrigerant pipe from an outdoor unit is received by the 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.
- The method of pipe connection is a brazing connection.
Caution:
-
Install the refrigerant piping for the indoor unit following the following.
- Cut the tip of the indoor unit piping, remove the gas, and then remove the brazed cap.
[Fig. 7.1.1] (P.4)
- Cut the tip of the indoor unit piping, remove the gas, and then remove the brazed cap.
-
A Cut here
-
B Remove the brazed cap
-
Pull out the thermal insulation on the site refrigerant piping, braze the unit piping, and replace the insulation in its original position. Wrap the piping with insulating tape.
Note
- When blazing the refrigerant pipes, be sure to blaze, after covering a wet cloth to the pipes of the units to prevent them from burning and shrinking by heat. [Fig. 7.1.2] (P.4)
- Cool with a wet cloth
Pay strict attention when wrapping the copper piping since wrapping the piping may cause condensation instead of preventing it. [Fig. 7.1.3] (P.4)
- A Thermal insulation
- B Pull out insulation
- C Wrap with a damp cloth
- D Return to the original position
- E Ensure that there is no gap here
- F Wrap with insulating tape
Cautions On Refrigerant Piping
- Be sure to use non-oxidative brazing for brazing to ensure that no foreign matter or moisture enters 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 be provided 50 cm away from the indoor unit’s flare connection.
Warning
Do not use refrigerant other than the type indicated in the manuals provided
with the unit and on the nameplate.
- Doing so may cause the unit or pipes to burst, or result in an explosion or fire during use, during repair, or at the time of disposal of the unit.
- It may also violate applicable laws.
- MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION cannot be held responsible for malfunctions or accidents resulting from the use of the wrong type of refrigerant.
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 sulfur, 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 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.
Drain piping work
-
Ensure that the drain piping is downward (pitch of more than 1/100) to the outdoor (discharge) side. Do not provide any trap or irregularity on the way.
-
Ensure that any cross-wise drain piping is less than 20 m [65 ft] (excluding the difference of elevation). If the drain piping is long, provide metal braces to prevent it from waving. Never provide any air vent pipe. Otherwise, drain may be ejected.
-
Use a hard vinyl chloride pipe O.D. ø32 mm [1-1/4 in] for drain piping.
-
Ensure that collected pipes are 10 cm [3-15/16 in] lower than the unit body’s drain port.
-
Do not provide any odor trap at the drain discharge port.
-
Put the end of the drain piping in a position where no odor is generated.
-
Do not put the end of the drain piping in any drain where ionic gases are generated. [Fig. 7.2.1] (P.4)

Confirming drain discharge
- Make sure that the drain-up mechanism operates normally for discharge and that there is no water leakage from the connections.
- Be sure to confirm the above in a period of heating operation.
- Be sure to confirm the above before ceiling work is done in the case of a new construction.
- Remove the water supply port cover on the same side as the indoor unit piping.
- Fill water into the feed water pump using a feed water tank. In filling, be sure to put the end of the pump or tank in a drain pan. (If the insertion is incomplete, water may flow over the machine.)
- Perform the test run in cooling mode, or connect the connector to the ON side of SWE on the Indoor controller board. (The drain pump and the fan are forced to operate without any remote controller operation.) Make sure using a transparent hose that the drain is discharged.
- After confirmation, cancel the test run mode, and turn off the main power. If the connector is connected to the ON side of SWE, disconnect it connect it to the OFF side, and attach the water supply port cover into its original position.

Ductwork
- In connecting duct, insert canvas duct between unit and duct.
- Use incombustible material for duct parts.
- Provide full insulation to the inlet duct flange and outlet duct to prevent condensation.
- Be sure to change the position of the air filter to the position where it can be serviced.

- G Leave distance enough to prevent the short cycle
- Procedure for changing the rear inlet to the bottom inlet.
Caution:
When the duct is connected to the inlet at the bottom of the unit, the sound
pressure level will be greater by approximately 10 dB than when the duct is
connected to the inlet at the back of the unit. For this reason, it is
recommended to connect the duct to the back inlet. When using the inlet at the
bottom of the unit, offset the position of the inlet on the indoor unit
relative to the inlet on the ceiling as shown in Figures and to
minimize noise.
[Fig. 8.0.2] (P.5)
- A Filter
- B Bottom plate
- Remove the air filter. (First, remove filter lock screw.)
- Remove the bottom plate.
- Fit the bottom plate to the rear of the body. [Fig. 8.0.3] (P.5) (The position of lug holes on the plate is different from those for the rear inlet.)
- Fit filter to the underside of the body. (Be careful of which side of the filter to fit.) [Fig. 8.0.4] (P.5)
[Fig. 8.0.4] (P.5)
- C Nail for the bottom inlet
- D Nail for the rear inlet
Caution:
- To reduce the risk of injury from metal sheet edges, wear protective gloves.
- Keep the distance between the inlet grille and the fan over 850 mm [33-1/2 in]. If it is less than 850 mm [33-1/2 in], install a safety guard so as not to touch the fan.
- Install sufficient thermal insulation to prevent condensation from forming on outlet duct flanges and outlet ducts.
- To avoid electrical noise interference, do not run transmission lines at the bottom of the unit.
- The noise from the intake will increase dramatically if intake is fitted directly beneath the main body. Intake should therefore be installed as far away from the main body as possible. Particular care is required when using it with bottom inlet specifications.

Precautions on electrical wiring
Warning
Electrical work should be done by qualified electrical engineers per “Engineering Standards For Electrical Installation” and supplied installation manuals. Special circuits should also be used. If the power circuit lacks capacity or has an installation failure, it may cause a risk of electric shock or fire.
- Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker to the power. Use an earth leakage breaker with a sensitivity of less than 30 mA 0.1 s.
- Install the unit to prevent any of the control circuit cables (remote controller, transmission cables) is being in direct contact with the power cable outside the unit.
- Ensure that there is no slack on all wire connections.
- Some cables (power, remote controller, transmission cables) above the ceiling may be bitten by mice. Use as many metal pipes as possible to insert the cables into them for protection.
- Never connect the power cable to the leads for the transmission cables. Otherwise, the cables would be broken.
- Be sure to connect control cables to the indoor unit, remote controller, and the outdoor unit.
- Put the unit on the ground on the outdoor unit side.
- Select-control cables from the conditions given on page 13.
- Perform wiring in compliance with the safety regulations detailed in UL60335-2-40.
Caution:
- Be sure to put the unit on the ground on the outdoor unit side. Do not connect the earth cable to any gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or telephone earth cable. Incomplete grounding may cause a risk of electric shock.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

Warning
- Be sure to use specified wires for connections and ensure no external force is imparted to terminal connections. If connections are not fixed firmly, heating or fire may result.
- Be sure to use the appropriate type of overcurrent protection switch. Note that generated overcurrent may include some amount of direct current.
Caution
- Some installation sites may require the attachment of an earth leakage breaker for the inverter. If no earth leakage breaker is installed, there is a danger of electric shock.
- Do not use anything other than the correct capacity breaker and fuse. Using fuse, wire, or copper wire with too large capacity may cause a risk of malfunction or fire.
Notes
- This device is intended for the connection to a power supply system with a maximum permissible system impedance (Refer to IEC61000-3-3.) at the interface point (power service box) of the user’s supply.
- The user must ensure that this device is connected only to a power supply system that fulfills the requirement above. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point.
- Backup operation Even when the electrical work has not been completed, the fan and the drain pump can be operated by connecting the jumper (SWE) on the control board to the ON-side and energizing the terminal block.
Reconnect the SWE on the control board to the OFF side upon completion of all work.

Caution: Wire the power supply so that no tension is imparted. Otherwise disconnection, heating, or fire result.
Notes:
- Do not pinch the cables or wires when attaching the terminal box cover. Doing so may cause a risk of disconnection.
- When accommodating the terminal box, make sure that the connectors on the box side are not removed. If removed, it cannot operate normally.
External I/O specifications
Caution:
- Wiring should be covered by an insulation tube with supplementary insulation.
- Use relays or switches with IEC or equivalent standards.
- The electric strength between accessible parts and the control circuit should have 2750 V or more.
Selecting the external static pressure
Five levels of external static pressure are available for selection. Set the
setting either by using the switches on the control board (SW21-1, SW21-2, and
SW21-5) or from the function selection screen on the remote controller.
[Fig. 9.5.1] (P.6)
Notes
- When the static pressure setting was set from the remote controller, the actual setting and the switch setting on the control board may not match because the latest setting from the remote controller overrides the previous setting. To check the latest static pressure setting, check it on the remote controller, not on the switch.
- If the static pressure setting for the duct is lower than that for the unit, the fan of the unit may repeat start/stop, and the outdoor unit may remain stopped. Match the static pressure settings for the unit to that for the duct.
- To set the external static pressure with the switches on the control board
External static pressure | SW21-1 | SW21-2 | SW21-5 | Initial setting |
---|---|---|---|---|
0.14 in. WG (35 Pa) | OFF | OFF | OFF | |
0.20 in. WG (50 Pa) | ON | OFF | OFF | ○ |
0.28 in. WG (70 Pa) | OFF | ON | ON | |
0.4 in. WG (100 Pa) | OFF | OFF | ON | |
0.60 in. WG (150 Pa) | ON | OFF | ON |
To set the external static pressure from the function selection screen on
the remote controller
Follow the instructions below and the instructions detailed in the remote
controller manual for how to set the switches.
- Set the function setting No. 32 (Switch setting/Function selection) to “2”.
- Set the function settings No. 8 and No. 10 to appropriate values, according to the external static pressure.
Selection

0.28 in. WG (70 Pa)| 1| 2| |
0.4 in. WG (100 Pa)| 2| 2| |
0.60 in. WG (150 Pa)| 3| 2| |
[Important] Be sure to write down the settings for all functions in the “Current setting” row if any of the initial settings has been changed.
Setting addresses
(Be sure to operate with the main power turned OFF.) [Fig. 9.5.1] (P.6)
-
There are two types of rotary switch setting available: setting addresses 1 to 9
and over 10, and setting branch numbers.- How to set addresses Example: If Address is “3”, remain SW12 (for over 10) at “0”, and match SW11(for 1 to 9) with “3”.
- How to set branch numbers SW14 (Series R2 only) The branch number assigned to each indoor unit is the port number of the BC controller to which the indoor unit is connected. Leave it to “0” on the non-R2 series of units.
-
The rotary switches are all set to “0” when shipped from the factory. These switches can be used to set unit addresses and branch numbers at will.
-
The determination of indoor unit addresses varies with the system at site. Set them referring to the Data Book.
Sensing room temperature with the built-in sensor in a remote controller
If you want to sense room temperature with the built-in sensor in a remote
controller, set SW1-1 on the control board to “ON”. The setting of SW1-7 and
SW1-8 as necessary also makes it possible to adjust the airflow at a time when
the heating thermometer is OFF.
Changing the power voltage setting
(Be sure to operate with the main power turned OFF.) [Fig. 9.5.1] (P.6) Please
set the switch SW21 according to the power voltage.
- Set SW21-6 to the OFF side when the power supply is 230 volts.
- When the power supply is 208 volts, set SW21-6 to the ON side.
