Up to 8 units can be operated simultaneously using a wired remote controller (sold separately). For details, consult your local dealer.
Protective device

• Stops operation when the air-conditioner is overloaded.
• If the protective device is activated, the unit stops running, and the operation indicator and check indicator on the remote controller blink.

If the protective device is activated

• Turn off the circuit breaker and perform a checkup. Continued running may cause a malfunction.

• Check whether the air filter is installed. If not, the heat exchanger may be clogged with dust and water leakage may occur.
  During cooling

• The air intake or discharge of the outdoor unit is clogged.

• Strong wind continuously blows against the outlet of the outdoor unit.

Do not turn off the circuit breaker

• During the air-conditioning season, leave the circuit breaker turned on, and use the ON / OFF key on the remote controller.

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

Room temperature: 21 °C to 32 °C (Dry bulb temp.), 15 °C to 24 °C (Wet bulb temp.)
[CAUTION] Room relative humidity – less than 80%. If the air conditioner operates in excess of this figure, the surface of the air conditioner may cause dewing.

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

Installation

• Do not install the air conditioner in the following places

• Do not install the air conditioner in any place within 1 m from a TV, stereo, or radio set. If the unit is installed in such a place, noise transmitted from the air conditioner affects the operation of these appliances.

• Do not install the air conditioner near a high-frequency appliance (such as a sewing machine or massager for business use), otherwise, the air conditioner may malfunction.

• Places where iron or other metal dust is present. If iron or other metal dust adheres to or collects on the interior of the air conditioner, it may spontaneously combust and start a fire.

• Do not install the air conditioner in a humidor oily place, or in a place where steam, soot, or corrosive gas is generated.

• Do not install the air conditioner in a salty place such as a seaside area.

• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where a great deal of machine oil is used.

• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where it is usually exposed to strong wind such as in a seaside area.

• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where sulfureous gas is generated such as in a spa.

• Do not install the air conditioner in a vessel or mobile crane.

• Do not install the air conditioner in an acidic or alkaline atmosphere (in a hot-spring area or near a chemicals factory, or in a place subject to combustion emissions).

• Corrosion may be generated on the aluminum fin and copper pipe of the heat exchanger.

• Do not install the air conditioner near an obstacle (such as an air vent, or lighting equipment) that disturbs discharge air. (Turbulent airflow may reduce the performance or disable devices.)

• Do not use the air conditioner for special purposes such as preserving food, precision instruments, or art objects, or where breeding animals or growing plants are kept.
  (This may degrade the quality of preserved materials.)

• Do not install the air conditioner over an object that must not get wet. (Condensation may drop from the indoor unit at a humidity of 80% or more or when the drain port is clogged.)

• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where an organic solvent is used.

• Do not install the air conditioner near a door or window subject to the humid outside air.

• Condensation may form on the air conditioner.

• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where the special spray is used frequently.

Be careful with noise or vibrations

• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where noise by the outdoor unit or hot air from its air discharge annoys your neighbors.
• Install the air conditioner on a solid and stable foundation so that it prevents transmission of resonating, operation noise, and vibration.
• If one indoor unit is operating, some sounds may be audible from other indoor units that are not operating.
