WARNING
Please request your sales agent or qualified technician to install your unit.
Water leakage, short circuit or fire may occur if you do the installation work
yourself. Please observe the installation stated in the installation manual
during the process of installation. Improper installation may causewater
leakage, electric shock and fire. Make sure that the units are mounted at
locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units.
If not, the units may collapse and impose danger. Observe the rules and
regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the
installation manual when dealing with the electrical work. Use cables which
are approved official in your country. Be sure to use the specified circuit. A
short circuit andfire may occur due to the use of low quality wire or improper
work. Be sure to use the specified cables for connecting the indoor and
outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight after
theconductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals to prevent the
external force is being applied to the connection section of theterminal base.
Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating and fire. Please
use the specified components for installation work. Otherwise, the unit may
collapse or water leakage, electric shock, fire orstronger vibration may
occur. Be sure to use the specified piping set for R32. Otherwise, this may
result in broken copper pipes or faults. When installing or transferring an
air conditioner to another location, make sure that air other than the
specified refrigerant( R32)does not enter the refrigeration cycle. If other
air should enter, the pressure level of the refrigeration cycle may increase
abnormally which could result in a rupture and injury. Be sure to ventilate
fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes
into contact with fire, a poisonous gas mayoccur. After completion of
installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas
leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into theroom, coming into contact with
fire in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a
breakdown occurs please call a qualified air conditionertechnician or
electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and
fire, etc. Be sure to connect the earth line from the power supply wire to the
outdoor unit and betweenthe outdoor and indoor unit. Do not connect the earth
line to the gas tube, water pipe, lighting rod or the earth line of
thetelephone unit. Improper earthing may cause electric shocks.
R410A R32)
CAUTION
Acircuit breaker must be installed in the house distribution box for the
direct connected power supply cables to theoutdoor unit. In case of
otherinstallations a main switch with a contact gap or more than 3mm has to be
installed.Without a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.
Do not install the unit near a location where there is flammable gas. The
outdoor unit may catch fireif flammable gas leaks around it.
Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose. Improper
installing may wet your furniture.
An IEC approved power cord should be used. Power cord type: NYM. No nearby
heat source and no obstruction near the air outlet is allowed. The clearance
distances from top, right and left are specified in figure below. The location
must be convenient for water drainage and pipe connection with the Outdoor
unit. No nearby leakage risk of flammable gas, and no nearby source of vapor
or oil smoke. To avoid interference from noise, please place the unit and its
remote controller at least 1m from the radio and television. To avoid any
error in signal transmission from the remote controller, please put the
controller far away from high- frequency machines and high-powerwireless
systems. The installation height should be at least 2300 mm or more from the
floor. The distance from the air outlet to the fire alarm must be at least
1500mm and there must be no fire alarm in the front direction of the indoor
unit.
THE CHOICE OF MOUNTING SITE
(Please note the following matters and obtain permission from customer before
installation.)
WARNING
The unit should be mounted at stable, non-vibratory location which can provide
full support to the unit.
When finishing the refrigerant collection (pumping down), stop the compressor
and then remove the coolant pipe.If you remove the refrigerant pipe while the
compressor is operating and the service valve is released, air is sucked and
apressure in the freezing cycle system will build up steeply, causing an
explosion or injury. When installing the unit, be sure to install the
refrigerant pipe before starting the compressor. If the refrigerant pipe is
not installed and the compressor is operated with the service valve released,
air is sucked and the pressure level of the refrigeration cycle may increase
abnormally which could result in a rupture and injury.
The electric cables should neither be reworked nor added.Make sure to use an
exclusive circuit breaker. Otherwise fire or electric shock might occur by
connection failure, isolation failure or over current. Make sure to connect
cables to terminal properly and terminal cover should close firmly. Otherwise,
over heating at terminal contact, fire or electric shock might occur. Make
sure that there is no dust on any connected points of electric cables and fix
firmly. Otherwise, fire or electric shock might occur.
Be sure to completely seal any gap with putty.
