  • Where airflow is good and dustless.
  • Where rain or direct sunshine can be avoided as much as possible.
  • Where neighbours are not annoyed by operation sound or hot air.
  • Where rigid wall or support is available to prevent the increase of opera-tion sound or vibration.
  • Where there is no risk of combustible gas leakage.
  • When installing the unit, be sure to secure the unit legs.
  • Where it is at least 3 m away from the antenna of TV set or radio. Opera-tion of the air conditioner may interfere with radio or TV reception in areas where reception is weak. An amplifier may be required for the affected device.
  • Install the unit horizontally.
  • Please install it in an area not affected by snowfall or blowing snow. In areas with heavy snow, please install a canopy, a pedestal and/or some baffle boards.

Note:
It is advisable to make a piping loop near outdoor unit so as to reduce vibration transmitted from there.

Note:
When operating the air conditioner in low outside temperature, be sure to follow the instructions described below.

  • Never install the outdoor unit in a place where its air inlet/outlet side may be exposed directly to wind.

  • To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit with its air inlet side facing the wall.

  • To prevent exposure to wind, it is recommended to install a baffle board on the air outlet side of the outdoor unit.
    Avoid the following places for installation where air conditioner trouble is liable to occur.

  • Where flammable gas could leak.

  • Where there is much machine oil.

  • Where oil is splashed or where the area is filled with oily smoke (such as cooking areas and factories, in which the properties of plastic could be changed and damaged).

  • Salty places such as the seaside.

  • Where sulfide gas is generated such as a hot spring.

  • Where there is high-frequency or wireless equipment.

  • Where there is emission of high levels of VOCs, including phthalate compounds, formaldehyde, etc., which may cause chemical cracking.

  • The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.

  • R32 is heavier than air—as well as other refrigerants—so tends to accumulate at the base (in the vicinity of the floor). If R32 accumulates around base, it may reach a flammable concentration in case room is small. To avoid ignition, maintaining a safe work environment is required by ensuring appropriate ventilation. If a refrigerant leak is confirmed in a room or an area where there is insufficient ventilation, refrain from using of flames until the work environ-ment can be improved by ensuring appropriate ventilation.

  • Refrigerant pipes connection shall be accessible for maintenance purposes.

  • Install outdoor units in a place where at least one of the four sides is open, and in a sufficiently large space without depressions. MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC MXZ-2F52VF Split-type Air-Conditioner FIG 5

    • Make earth wire a little longer than oth-ers. (More than 35 mm)
    • For future servicing, give extra length to the connecting wires.

FLARING WORK AND PIPE CONNECTION

PRECAUTIONS FOR DEVICES THAT USE R32 REFRIGERANT

  • Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration oil applied to the flared sections.
  • Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Use refrigerant pipes with the thicknesses specified in the table to the below. Make sure the insides of the pipes are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust.Always apply no-oxidation brazing when brazing the pipes, otherwise, the compressor will be damaged.
    WARNING:
    When installing or relocating, or servicing the air conditioner, use only the specified refrigerant (R32) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines.
    If air is mixed with the refrigerant, then it can be the cause of abnormal high pressure in the refrigerant line, and may result in an explosion and other hazards.
    The use of any refrigerant other than that specified for the system will cause mechanical failure or system malfunction or unit breakdown. In the worst case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.Pipe size

  • Be sure to have appropriate ventilation in order to prevent ignition. Furthermore, be sure to carry out fire prevention measures that there are no dangerous or flammable objects in the surrounding area.

FLARING WORK

  1. Cut the copper pipe correctly with pipe cutter. (Fig. 1, 2)
  2. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe. (Fig. 3)
    • Aim the copper pipe downward while removing burrs to prevent burrs from dropping in the pipe.
  3. Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor units, then put them on pipe having completed burr removal. (Not possible to put them on after flaring work.)
  4. Flaring work (Fig. 4, 5). Firmly hold copper pipe in the dimension shown in the table. Select A mm from the table according to the tool selected.
  5. Check
    • Compare the flared work with Fig. 6.
    • If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the flared section and do flaring work again.

PIPE CONNECTION

  • The connected pipe size differs depending the models and the capacities of indoor units.
    Indoor unit capacity| 15 ~ 42| 50
    ---|---|---
    Liquid pipe size| ø6.35| ø6.35
    Gas pipe size| Indoor unit: MSZ| ø9.52| ø9.52 *1
    Indoor unit: other| ø9.52| ø12.7

*1 Use a joint pipe if the connection of the indoor unit differs.

  • Use tightening torque table above as a guideline for indoor unit side union joint section, and tighten using two wrenches. Excessive tightening dam-ages the flare section.
    1. Apply a thin coat of refrigeration oil (G) to the flared ends of the pipes and the pipe connections of the outdoor unit.
    2. For connection, first align the center, then tighten the first 3 to 4 turns of flare nut, by hand.
    3. Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in the table.
  • Over-tightening may cause damage to the flare nut, resulting in refrigerant leakage.
  • Be sure to wrap insulation around the piping. Direct contact with the bare piping may result in burns or frostbite.

INSULATION AND TAPING

  1. Cover piping joints with pipe cover.
  2. For outdoor unit side, surely insulate every piping including valves.
  3. Using piping tape (E), apply taping starting from the entry of outdoor unit.
    • Stop the end of piping tape (E) with tape (with adhesive agent attached).
    • When piping have to be arranged through above ceiling, closet or where the temperature and humidity are high, wind additional commercially sold insulation to prevent condensation.

WARNING When installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant pipes before starting the compressor.

CAUTION When there are the ports which are not used, make sure their nuts are tightened securely.

WARNING To avoid risk of fire, flare connection should be installed out- doors. Reusable mechanical connectors and flared joints are not allowed indoors.
When connecting the refrigerant piping by brazing, rether than using flare connections, complete all brazing prior to connecting indoor unit to outdoor unit.

PURGING PROCEDURES, LEAK TEST, AND TEST RUN

PURGING PROCEDURES AND LEAK TEST

  1. Remove service port cap of stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas pipe. (The stop valves are fully closed and covered in caps in their initial state.)
  2. Connect gauge manifold valve and vacuum pump to service port of stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
  3. Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)
  4. Check the vacuum with gauge manifold valve, then close gauge manifold valve, and stop the vacuum pump.
  5. Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure the pointer of gauge manifold valve remains in the same position. Confirm that pressure gauge shows -0.101 MPa [Gauge] (-760 mmHg).
  6. Remove gauge manifold valve quickly from service port of stop valve.
  7. Fully open all stop valves on the gas pipe and the liquid pipe. Oper-ating without fully opening lowers the performance and this causes trouble.
  8. Refer to 1-2., and charge the prescribed amount of refrigerant if needed. Be sure to charge slowly with liquid refrigerant.
  9. Tighten cap of service port to obtain the initial status.
  10. Leak test

WARNING To avoid risk of fire, make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks before opening the stop valves.

GAS CHARGE

Perform gas charge to unit.

  1. Connect gas cylinder to the service port of stop valve.
  2. Perform air purge of the pipe (or hose) coming from refrigerant gas cylinder.
  3. Replenish specified amount of the refrigerant, while operating the air conditioner for cooling.

Note:
In case of adding refrigerant, comply with the quantity specified for the refrigerating cycle.
CAUTION:
When charging the refrigerant system with additional refrigerant, be sure to use liquid refrigerant. Charge the liquid refrigerant slowly, otherwise the compressor will be locked.
To maintain the high pressure of the gas cylinder, warm the gas cylinder with warm water (under 40°C) during cold season. But never use naked fire or steam.

LOCKING THE OPERATION MODE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER (COOL, DRY, HEAT)

  • Description of the function:
    With this function, once the operation mode is locked to either COOL/DRY mode or HEAT mode, the air conditioner operates in that mode only.
  • Changing the setting is required to activate this function. Please explain about this function to your customers and ask them whether they want to use it.

[How to lock the operation mode]

  1. Be sure to turn off the main power for the air conditioner before making the setting.
  2. Set the “1” of SW1 on the outdoor display board to ON to enable this function.
  3. To lock the operation mode in COOL/DRY mode, set the “2” of SW1 on the outdoor display board to OFF. To lock the operation in HEAT mode, set the same switch to ON.
  4. Turn on the main power for the air conditioner.

LOWERING THE OPERATION NOISE OF THE OUTDOOR UNIT

  • Description of the function:
    With this function, the operating noise of the outdoor unit can be lowered by reducing the operation load, for example, during nighttime in COOL mode. However, please note that the cooling and heating capacity may lower if this function is activated.
  • Changing the setting is required to activate this function. Please explain about this function to your customers and ask them whether they want to use it.

[How to lower the operating noise]

TEST RUN

  • Test runs of the indoor units should be performed individually. See the installation manual coming with the indoor unit, and make sure all the units operate properly.
  • If the test run with all the units is performed at once, possible erroneous connections of the refrigerant pipes and the indoor/outdoor unit connecting wires cannot be detected. Thus, be sure to perform the test run one by one.

Make sure that the following is done.

  • Power is supplied to the unit.
  • Stop valves are open.

About the restart protective mechanism
Once the compressor stops, the restart preventive device operates so the compressor will not operate for 3 minutes to protect the air conditioner.

EXPLANATION TO THE USER

  • Using the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, explain to the user how to use the air conditioner (how to use the remote controller, how to remove the air filters, how to remove or put the remote controller in the remote controller holder, how to clean, precautions for operation, etc.).
  • Recommend the user to read the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS carefully.

PUMPING DOWN

When relocating or disposing of the air conditioner, pump down the system following the procedure below so that no refrigerant is released into the atmosphere.

  1. Turn off the breaker.
  2. Connect the gauge manifold valve to the service port of the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
  3. Fully close the stop valve on the liquid pipe side of the outdoor unit.
  4. Turn on the breaker.
  5. Start the emergency COOL operation on all the indoor units.
  6. When the pressure gauge shows 0.05 to 0 MPa [Gauge] (approx. 0.5 to 0 kgf/cm2), fully close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit and stop the operation. (Refer to the indoor unit installation manual about the method for stopping the operation.)
  • If too much refrigerant has been added to the air conditioner system, the pressure may not drop to 0.05 MPa [Gauge] (approx. 0.5 kgf/cm2), or the protec-tion function may operate due to the pressure increase in the high-pressure refrigerant circuit. If this occurs, use a refrigerant collecting device to collect all of the refrigerant in the system, and then recharge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant after the indoor and outdoor units have been relocated. 7. Turn off the breaker. Remove the pressure gauge and the refrigerant piping.

WARNING

When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes. The compressor may burst and cause injury if any foreign substance, such as air, enters the pipes.
