CAUTION

R32 refrigerant air conditioner installation
This air conditioner adopts the HFC refrigerant (R32) which does not destroy ozone layer.
Therefore, during installation work, make sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigerant oil does not enter the R32 refrigerant air conditioner cycle. To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerant oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charge port on the main unit and installation tools are different from those of the conventional refrigerant units.
Accordingly, special tools are required for the R32 or R410A refrigerant units. For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping materials with high pressure fittings made for the R32 or R410A only, so that water and/or dust does not enter.

When using existing piping, refer to “14 Appendix”.

The copper pipe gauge is useful for adjusting the projection margin size.

CAUTION

• Do not scratch the inner surface of the flared part when removing burrs.
• Flare processing under the condition of scratches on the inner surface of flare processing part will cause refrigerant gas leak.
• Check that the flared part is not scratched, deformed, stepped, or flattened and that there are no chips adhered or other problems, after flare processing.
• Do not apply refrigerating machine oil to the flare surface.

Tightening of connecting part

1. Align the centers of the connecting pipes and fully tighten the fl are nut with your fi ngers. Then fi x the nut with a wrench as shown in the fi gure and tighten it with a torque wrench.
   

2. As shown in the fi gure, be sure to use two wrenches to loosen or tighten the fl are nut of the valve on the gas side. If you use a single crescent, the fl are nut cannot be tightened to the required tightening torque. On the other hand, use a single crescent to loosen or tighten the fl are nut of the valve on the liquid side.

CAUTION

• Do not put the crescent wrench on the cap. The valve may break.
• If applying excessive torque, the nut may break according to some installation conditions.
• After the installation work, be sure to check for gas leaks of the pipe connections with nitrogen. Therefore, using a torque wrench, tighten the flare pipe connecting sections that connect the indoor/outdoor units at the specified tightening torque. Incomplete connections may cause not only a gas leak, but also trouble with the refrigeration cycle.

Do not apply refrigerating machine oil to the flared surface.

Air purging

Airtight test

After completing the refrigerant piping work, perform an airtight test. Connect a nitrogen gas cylinder and pressurize the pipes with nitrogen gas as follows to conduct the airtight test.

CAUTION
Never use oxygen, ammable gas, or noxious gas for the airtight test.

Gas leak check

1. Step 1….Pressurize to 0.5 MPa (5 kg/cm²G) for 5 minutes or longer.] Major leaks can be discovered.
2. Step 2….Pressurize to 1.5 MPa (15 kg/cm²G) for 5 minutes or longer.
3. Step 3….Pressurize to 4.15 MPa (42 kg/cm²G) for 24 hours. ……………. Micro leaks can be discovered.

(However, note that when the ambient temperature differs during pressurization and after 24 hours, the pressure
will change by approximately 0.01 MPa (0.1 kg/cm²G) per 1°C, so this should be compensated.)
If the pressure drops in steps 1 through 3, check the connections for leakage.

Check for leaks with foaming liquid, etc., take steps to x the leaks suc as brazing the pipes again and tightening the ?are nuts, and then perform the airtight test again.

• After the airtight test is completed, evacuate the nitrogen gas.

Air purge

With respect to the preservation of the terrestrial environment, adopt “Vacuum pump” to purge air
(Evacuate air in the connecting pipes) when installing the unit.

• Do not discharge the refrigerant gas to the atmosphere to preserve the terrestrial environment. Use a vacuum pump to discharge the air (nitrogen, etc.) that remains in the set. If air remains, the capacity may decrease.

For the vacuum pump, be sure to use one with a backflow preventer so that the oil in the pump does not backflow into the pipe of the air conditioner when the pump stops.
(If oil in the vacuum pump is put in an air conditioner including R32/R410A, it may cause trouble with the refrigeration cycle.)

Vacuum pump

1. Use the vacuum pump, vacuum pump adapter, and gauge manifold correctly referring to the manuals supplied with each tool before using them.
   Check that the vacuum pump oil is filled up to the specified line of the oil gauge.

2. When air is not charged, check again whether the connecting port of the discharge hose, which has a] projection to push the valve core, is firmly connected to the charge port.

Pump down process

1. Turn off the Air Conditioner system.

2. Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve to the service port of the packed valve at gas side.

3. Turn on the Air Conditioner system in cooling operation more than 10 minutes.

4. Check the operating pressure of the system should be normal value. (Ref. with product specification)

5. Release the valve rod cap of both service valves.

6. Use the Hexagon wrench to turning the valve rod of Liquid side fully close.
   (*Make sure no entering air into the system)

7. Continue operate Air Conditioner system until the gauge of manifold dropped into the range of 0.5 – 0 kgf/cm².

8. Use the Hexagon wrench to turning the valve rod of Gas side fully close.
   And turn off the Air Conditioner system immediately thereafter.

9. Remove the gauge manifold from the service port of the packed valve.

10. Securely tighten the valve rod cap to the both service valves.

CAUTION
Should be check the compressor operating
condition while pumping down process. It must not any abnormal sound, more vibration. It is abnormal condition appears and must turn off the Air Conditioner immediately.

How to open the valve
Fully open the valves of the outdoor unit. (First fully open the valve on the liquid side, and then fully open the valve on the gas side.)

• Do not open or close the valves when the ambient temperature is -20°C or less. Doing so may damage the valve O-rings and result in refrigerant leakage.

Liquid side, gas side
Open the valve with hexagon wrench.
[Hexagonal wrench is required.]

Valve handling precautions

• Open the valve stem until it strikes the stopper.
  It is unnecessary to apply further force.

• Securely tighten the cap with a torque wrench.

Replenishing refrigerant

This model is a 20 m chargeless type that does not need to have its refrigerant replenished for refrigerant pipes up to 20 m. When a refrigerant pipe longer than 20 m is used, add the specified amount of refrigerant.

Refrigerant replenishing procedure

1.  After vacuuming the refrigerant pipe, close the valves and then charge the refrigerant while the air conditioner is not working.
   2. When the refrigerant cannot be charged to the specified amount, charge the required amount of refrigerant from the charge port of the valve on the gas side during cooling.
   Requirement for replenishing refrigerant

Replenish liquid refrigerant.
When gaseous refrigerant is replenished, the refrigerant composition varies, which disables normal operation.

Charging additional refrigeran

Formula for calculating the amount of additional refrigerant
(Formula will differ depending on the diameter of the liquid connecting side pipe.) * is the length of the pipe shown in the figure above (Unit: m).

---|---|---
S| a
Ø6.4| 20| a X ( S -20)
Ø9.5| 35| a X ( S -20)

Gas leak inspection

Use a leak detector manufactured specially for HFC refrigerant (R32, R410A, R134a, etc.) to perform the R32 gas leak inspection.

• Leak detectors for conventional HCFC refrigerant (R22, etc.) cannot be used, as the sensitivity drops to approximately 1/40 when used for HFC refrigerant.
• R32 has a high working pressure, so failure to perform the installation work properly may result in gas leaks such as when the pressure rises during operation. Be sure to perform leak tests on the piping connections.

Insulating the Pipes

• The temperatures at both the liquid side and gas side will be low during cooling so in order to prevent condensation, be sure to insulate the pipes at both of these sides.
• Insulate the pipes separately for the liquid side and gas side.

REQUIREMENT

Be sure to use an insulating material which can withstand temperatures above 120°C for the gas side pipe since this pipe will become very hot during heating operations.

Electrical work

CAUTION

• An installation fuse must be used for the power supply line of this air conditioner.
• Incorrect / incomplete wiring may lead to an electrical fire or smoke.
• Prepare an exclusive power supply for the air conditioner.
• This product can be connected to the mains power. Fixed wire connections:
• A switch that disconnects all poles and has a contact separation of at least 3 mm must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
• Be sure to use the cord clamps attached to the product.
• Do not damage or scratch the conductive core  or inner insulator of the power and system interconnection wires when peeling them.
• Use the power and system interconnection wires with specified thicknesses, specified types and protective devices required.

• When connecting the system interconnection wire to the outdoor unit terminal, prevent water from coming into the outdoor unit.
• Insulate the unsheathed cords (conductors) with electrical insulation tape. Process them so that they do not touch any electrical or metal parts.
• For system interconnection wires, do not use a wire joined to another on the way.
• Use wires long enough to cover the entire length.

Stripping length power cord and connecting wire

Earthing

WARNING
Be sure to connect the earth wire. (grounding work) Incomplete grounding may cause an electric shock.

Connect the earth wire properly following applicable technical standards.
Connecting the earth wire is essential to preventing electric shock and to reducing noise and electrical charges on the outdoor unit surface due to the high-frequency wave generated by the frequency converter (inverter) in the outdoor unit.
If you touch the charged outdoor unit without an earth wire, you may experience an electric shock.

Finishing

After the refrigerant pipe, inter-unit wires, and drain pipe have been connected, cover them with finishing tape and clamp them to the wall with off- the-shelf support brackets or their equivalent.
Keep the power wires and system interconnection wires off the valve on the gas side or pipes that have no heat insulator.

Test run

• Turn on the leakage breaker at least 12 hours before starting a test run to protect the compressor during startup.
• To protect the compressor, power is supplied from the 220-240 VAC input to the unit to preheat the compressor. Check the following before starting a test run:
• That all pipes are connected securely without leaks.
• That the valve is open.
• If the compressor is operated with the valve closed, the outdoor unit will become overpressurized, which may damage the compressor or other components.
• If there is a leak at a connection, air can be sucked in and the internal pressure further increases, which may cause a burst or injury.
• Operate the air conditioner in the correct procedure as specified in the Owner’s Manual.

 Annual maintenance

For an air conditioning system that is operated on a regular basis, cleaning and maintenance of the indoor / outdoor units are strongly recommended.
As a general rule, if an indoor unit is operated for about 8 hours daily, the indoor / outdoor units will need to be cleaned at least once every 3 months. This cleaning and maintenance should be carried out by a qualified service person.
Failure to clean the indoor / outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, icing, water leaking and even compressor failure.

Air conditioner operating conditions

For proper performance, operate the air conditioner under the following temperature conditions:

If air conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, safety protection may work.

Functions to be implemented locally

Handling existing pipe

• When using the existing pipe, carefully check for the following:
• Wall thickness (within the specified range)

Scratches and dents

• Water, oil, dirt, or dust in the pipe
• Flare looseness and leakage from welds
• Deterioration of copper pipe and heat insulator

Cautions for using existing pipe

• Do not reuse a flare nut to prevent gas leaks.
• Replace it with the supplied flare nut and then process it to a flare.
• Blow nitrogen gas or use an appropriate means to keep the inside of the pipe clean. If discolored oil or much residue is discharged, wash the pipe.
• Check welds, if any, on the pipe for gas leaks.

When the pipe corresponds to any of the following, do not use it. Install a new pipe instead.

• The pipe has been opened (disconnected from indoor unit or outdoor unit) for a long period.
• The pipe has been connected to an outdoor unit that does not use refrigerant R32, R410A.
• The existing pipe must have a wall thickness equal to or larger than the following thicknesses.

• Do not use any pipe with a wall thickness less than these thicknesses due to insufficient pressure capacity

Appendix

Work instructions
The existing R22 and R410A piping can be reused for our digital inverter R32 product installations.

WARNING
Confirming the existence of scratches or dents on the existing pipes and confirming the reliability of the pipe strength are conventionally referred to the local site.
If the specified 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 specified “Pipe diameter and thickness,” be sure to
   use new pipes for the refrigerant piping works.
   The operating pressure of R32 is high. 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.

In case the pipe diameter is Ø12.7 mm or less and the thickness is less than 0.7 mm, be sure to use new pipes for the refrigerant piping works.

• When the outdoor unit was left with the pipes disconnected, or the gas leaked from the pipes and the pipes were not repaired and refilled.
  There is the possibility of rain water or air, including moisture, entering the pipe.

• 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.

• When a commercially available dryer is attached to the existing pipes. There is the possibility that copper green rust has been generated.
• 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.
•  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.
• When temporary installation and removal of the air conditioner are repeated such as when leased etc.
• 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.

NOTE
The above descriptions are results have been confirmed 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/R410A 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.

Warnings on refrigerant leakage

Check of concentration limit

• The room in which the air conditioner is to be installed requires a design that in the event of refrigerant gas leaking out, its concentration will not exceed a set limit.
• The refrigerant R32 which is used in the air conditioner is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of ammonia, and is not restricted by laws to be imposed which protect the ozone layer. However, since it contains more than air, it poses the risk of suffocation if its concentration should rise excessively. Suffocation from leakage of R32 is almost non-existent.
• If a conditioner system is to be installed in a small room, select a suitable model and installation procedure so that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks out, its concentration does not reach the limit (and in the event of an emergency, measures can be made before injury can occur).
• In a room where the concentration may exceed the limit, create an opening with adjacent rooms, or install mechanical ventilation combined with a gas leak detection device.
• The concentration is as given below.

Total amount of refrigerant (kg)

• Concentration limit (kg/m³)
• Min. volume of the indoor unit installed room (m³)
• Refrigerant Concentration Limit shall be in accordance with local regulations.
