2. The standards for minimum room volume are as follows.
(1) No partition (shaded portion)
Check of Density Limit
The room in which the air conditioner is to be
installed requires a design that in the event of refrig-
erant gas leaking out, its density will not exceed a set
limit.
The refrigerant (R410A), which is used in the air condition-
er, is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of ammonia,
and is not restricted by laws imposed to protect the ozone
layer. However, since it contains more than air, it poses
the risk of suffocation if its density should rise excessively.
Suffocation from leakage of refrigerant is almost non-exis-
tent. With the recent increase in the number of high density
buildings, however, the installation of multi air conditioner
systems is on the increase because of the need for effec-
tive use of floor space, individual control, energy conserva-
tion by curtailing heat and carrying power, etc.
(2) When there is an effective opening with the adjacent
room for ventilation of leaking refrigerant gas (open-
ing without a door, or an opening 0.15% or larger than
the respective floor spaces at the top or bottom of the
door).
Outdoor unit
Refrigerant tubing
Indoor unit
Most importantly, the multi air conditioner system is able
to replenish a large amount of refrigerant compared to
conventional individual air conditioners. If a single unit
of the multi air conditioner system is to be installed in a
small room, select a suitable model and installation pro-
cedure so that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks out,
its density 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 density may exceed the limit, create
an opening with adjacent rooms, or install mechanical
ventilation combined with a gas leak detection device.
The density is as given below.
(3) If an indoor unit is installed in each partitioned room
and the refrigerant tubing is interconnected, the small-
est room of course becomes the object. But when
mechanical ventilation is installed interlocked with a
gas leakage detector in the smallest room where the
density limit is exceeded, the volume of the next small-
est room becomes the object.

Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant
1. Care regarding tubing
1-1. Process tubing
●
Material: Use C1220 phosphorous deoxidized copper specified in JIS H3300 “Copper and Copper Alloy Seamless
Pipes and Tubes.”
For tubes of ø7/8" (ø22.22 mm) or larger, use C1220 T-1/2H material or H material, and do not bend the tubes.
●
Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.
●
Use a tube cutter when cutting the tubing, and be sure to remove any flash. This also applies to distribution joints
(optional).
●
When bending tubing, use a bending radius that is 4 times the outer diameter of the tubing or larger.
Use sufficient care in handling the tubing. Seal the tubing ends with caps or tape to
prevent dirt, moisture, or other foreign substances from entering.These substances
CAUTION
can result in system malfunction.

1-2. Prevent impurities including water, dust and oxide from entering the tubing. Impurities can cause R410A refriger-
ant deterioration and compressor defects. Due to the features of the refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil, the
prevention of water and other impurities becomes more important than ever.
2. Be sure to recharge the refrigerant only in liquid form.
2-1. Since R410A is a non-azeotrope, recharging the refrigerant in gas form can lower performance and cause defects
in the unit.
2-2. Since refrigerant composition changes and performance decreases when gas leaks, collect the remaining refriger-
ant and recharge the required total amount of new refrigerant after fixing the leak.
3. Different tools required
3-1. Tool specifications have been changed due to the characteristics of R410A.
Some tools for R22- and R407C-type refrigerant systems cannot be used.

For systems that use R22, apply mineral oil (Suniso oil)
to the flare nuts on the tubing to prevent refrigerant
leakage. For machines that use R407C or R410A, apply
synthetic oil (ether oil) to the flare nuts.
* Using tools for R22 and R407C and new tools for R410A together can cause defects.

New refrigerant R410A cannot be used for

1. Compressor specifications are different.
If recharging a R22 or R407C compressor with R410A,
durability will significantly decrease since some of the
materials used for compressor parts are different.
2. Existing tubing cannot be used (especially R22).
Completely cleaning out residual refrigerating
machine oil is impossible, even by flushing.
R410A
3. Refrigerating machine oil differs (R22).
Since R22 refrigerating machine oil is mineral oil, it
does not dissolve in R410A. Therefore, refrigerating
machine oil discharged from the compressor can cause
compressor damage.

Always check the gas density
limit for the room in which the
unit is installed.
WARNING
Minimum indoor volume & floor area as against the
amount of refrigerant is roughly as given in the follow-
ing table.
1-11. Check of Limit Density
When installing an air conditioner in a room, it is necessary
to ensure that even if the refrigerant gas accidentally leaks
out, its density does not exceed the limit level for that room.
If the density could exceed the limit level, it is necessary to
provide an opening between the unit and the adjacent room,
or to install mechanical ventilation which is interlocked with
a leak detector.

(2) When creating a branch using a commercially available
T-joint (header joint system), orient the main tubing so
that it is either horizontal (level) or vertical. In order to
prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in stopped units,
if the main tubing is horizontal then each branch tubing
length should be at an angle that is greater than horizon-
tal. If the main tubing is vertical, provide a raised starting
portion for each branch.

NOTE
Notes on Installation
• Be sure to secure the valve body by using its structure with the suspension bolt, etc.
• Install the valve body within a distance of 98 ft. from the indoor unit.
Some refrigerant noise will be produced. Therefore in hospitals, libraries, hotel guest rooms, and other quiet
locations, it is recommended that the solenoid valve kit be installed on the ceiling reverse side of a hallway or
another location separated from the room.
• When installing the valve body, install with the top surface facing up. Secure 7-7/8" or more of space to the front
so that the front service panel can be removed.
• If the supplied suspension hook will not be used, and other fastening devices will be attached in the field, use
the 4 screw holes on the top surface. DO NOT use any long screws other than the supplied screws. Use of other
screws may puncture the internal tubing, resulting in refrigerant leakage.
• Do not block the air holes.

Charging procedure
●
Be sure to charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form.
1. After performing a vacuum, charge with refrigerant from the liquid tubing side. At this time, all valves must be in the “fully
closed” position.
2. If it was not possible to charge the designated amount, operate the system in Cooling mode while charging with refrigerant
from the gas tubing side. (This is performed at the time of the test run. For this, all valves must be in the “fully open” position.
However if only one outdoor unit is installed, a balance tube is not used. Therefore, leave the valves fully closed.)
Charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form.
With R410A refrigerant, charge while adjusting the amount being fed a little at a time in order to prevent liquid refrigerant from
backing up.
After charging is completed, turn all valves to the “fully open” position.
Replace the tubing covers as they were before.

Reasons: 1. It may cause water to leak from the
connection. Since the connection is
slippery just after the adhesive has been
applied, the pipe easily slips off.
2. The pipe cannot be removed when
maintenance is needed.

●
In cases where it is necessary to raise the height
of the drain piping, the drain piping can be raised
to a maximum height of 33-15/32" above the
bottom surface of the ceiling. Under no
conditions attempt to raise it higher than
33-15/32" above the bottom surface of the ceiling.
Doing so will result in water leakage. (Fig. 3-9)
Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient
from the connection port.This will cause the
drain water to flow backward and leak when the
unit is not operating. (Fig. 3-10)

Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side
when connecting the drain pipe.The pipe should
not be allowed to hang unsupported from its
connection to the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall,
frame, or other support as close to the unit as
possible. (Fig. 3-11)

3-5. Checking the Drainage
Fig. 3-11
After wiring and drain piping are completed, use the
following procedure to check that the water will drain
smoothly. For this, prepare a bucket and wiping cloth to
catch and wipe up spilled water.
Drainage check
(1) Connect power to the power terminal board (R, S
terminals) inside the electrical component box.
(2) Slowly pour approx. 0.3 gal of water into the drain
pan to check drainage. (Fig. 3-12)
(3) Short the check pin (CHK) on the indoor control
board and operate the drain pump. Check the water
flow through the transparent drain pipe and see if
there is any leakage.

for a distance between the bottom of the bolt and the
bottom of the unit of more than 19/32" as shown in
the diagram. (Fig. 3-31)
(3) Thread the 3 hexagonal nuts and 2 washers (field
supply) onto each of the 4 suspension bolts as
shown in the diagram. Use 1 nut and 1 washer for
the upper side, and 2 nuts and 1 washer for the
lower side, so that the unit will not fall off the suspen-
sion lugs. (Fig. 3-32)

On the unit drain side, grasp the hose band with pliers and
insert the drain hose all the way to the base.
If other commercially available hose bands are used, the
drain hose may become pinched or wrinkled and there is
danger of water leakage. Therefore be sure to use the sup-
plied hose bands. When sliding the hose bands, be careful
to avoid scratching the drain hose.
Do not use adhesive when connecting the supplied drain
hose to the drain port (either on the main unit or the PVC
pipe).

CAUTION
●
Attach the hose bands so that
each is approximately 13/64"
to 63/64" from the end of the
supplied drain hose.
Reasons: 1. It may cause water to leak from the connec-
tion. Since the connection is slippery just
after the adhesive has been applied, the pipe
easily slips off.
Air bleeder prohibited
2. The pipe cannot be removed when mainte-
nance is needed.
Wrap the hose with the supplied drain hose insulation and
use the 4 twist ties so that the hose is insulated with no
gaps.
Do not bend the supplied drain hose 90° or more. The hose
may slip off.
●
●
Do not install an air bleeder as
●
this may cause water to spray
from the drain pipe outlet.
CAUTION
NOTE
Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100 or
more) and that there are no water traps.
CAUTION
1 ft. or less
2.78 ft. or less
In cases where it is necessary to raise the height of the
drain piping, the drain piping can be raised to a maxi-
mum height of 2.78 ft. above the bottom surface of the
ceiling. Under no conditions attempt to raise it higher
than 2.78 ft. above the bottom surface of the ceiling.
Doing so will result in water leakage. (Fig. 3-34)
Do not use natural drainage.
Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient from
the connection port.This will cause the drain water to
flow backward and leak when the unit is not operating.
(Fig. 3-35)

Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when
connecting the drain pipe.The pipe should not be
allowed to hang unsupported from its connection to
the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame, or other sup-
port as close to the unit as possible. (Fig. 3-36)
Provide insulation for any pipes that are run indoors.

If external static pressure is too great (due to long extension of ducts, for
example), the air flow volume may drop too low at each air outlet. This problem
may be solved by increasing the fan speed using the following procedure:
(1) Remove 4 screws on the electrical component box and
remove the cover plate.
(2) Disconnect the fan motor sockets in the box.

Air Flow (CFM)
Air Flow (CFM)
How to read the diagram
The vertical axis is the external static pressure (in. WG)
while the horizontal axis represents the air flow (CFM).
The characteristic curves for “HT,” “H,” “M” and “L” fan
speed control are shown. The nameplate values are
shown based on the “H” air flow. For the 24 type, the air
flow is 635 CFM, while the external static pressure is
0.20 in. WG at “H” position. If external static pressure is
too great (due to long extension of ducts, for example),
the air flow volume may drop too low at each air out-
let. This problem may be solved by increasing the fan
speed as explained above.

●
Material: Use C1220 phosphorous deoxidized copper as described in JIS H3300, “Copper and Copper Alloy
Seamless Pipes and Tubes.”
(For tubes that are ø1" (ø25.4 mm) or larger, use 1/2H material or H material. For all others use O material.)
Tubing size
●
Use the tubing size indicated in the table below.
When cutting the tubing, use a tube cutter, and be sure to remove any burrs.
●
(The same applies to distribution tubing (optional).)
When bending the tubes, bend each tube using a radius that is at least 4 times the outer diameter of the tube.
●
When bending, use sufficient care to avoid crushing or damaging the tube
For flaring, use a flare tool, and be sure that flaring is performed correctly.
●
Use sufficient caution during preparation of the tubing. Seal the tube ends by
means of caps or taping to prevent dust, moisture, or other foreign substances

when removing the liquid tube valve flare nut.
Do not use two monkey wrenches when
removing or installing the balance tube
flare nut. In particular, do not apply a
monkey wrench to the hexagonal part at
the top of the valve.
1. Do not apply a wrench to the valve cap when removing or
installing the flare nuts. Doing so may damage the valve.
2. If the valve cap is left off for a long period of time, refrigerant
leakage will occur. Therefore, do not leave the valve cap off.
3. Applying refrigerant oil to the flare surface can be effective in
preventing gas leakage, however be sure to use a refrigerant
oil which is suitable for the refrigerant that is used in the system.
(This unit utilizes R410A refrigerant, and the refrigerant oil is
ether oil (synthetic oil). However, hub oil (synthetic oil) can also
be used.)
(If force is applied to this part,
gas leakage will occur.)
Precautions for brazing
●
Be sure to replace the air inside the tube with nitrogen to prevent oxide film from forming during the brazing process.
Be sure to use a damp cloth or other means to cool the valve unit during brazing.
Work method
Pressure-reducing valve (regulator)
Remote valve
Field-supply tube
Brazing locations
Taping
1. Be sure to use nitrogen. (Oxygen, CO2, and CFC must not be used.)
2. Use a pressure-reducing valve on the nitrogen tank.
CAUTION
3. Do not use agents intended to prevent the formation of oxide film. They will adversely affect the refrig-
eration oil, and may cause equipment failure.
4. The balance tube is not used if only 1 outdoor unit is installed.
Use the unit in the same conditions as when it was shipped from the factory.

ed in the exclusive line.
You must ensure that installation complies with all
relevant rules and regulations.
(8) To prevent malfunction of the air conditioner caused
by electrical noise, care must be taken when wiring
as follows:
(3) To prevent possible hazards from insulation failure,
the unit must be grounded.
●
The remote control wiring and the inter-unit control
(4) Each wiring connection must be done in accordance
with the wiring system diagram. Wrong wiring may
cause the unit to misoperate or become damaged.
wiring should be wired apart from the inter-unit power
wiring.

6. HOW TO PROCESS TUBING
Deburring
The liquid tubing side is connected by a flare nut, and the gas
tubing side is connected by brazing.

6-1. Connecting the Refrigerant Tubing
Use of the Flaring Method
Many of conventional split system air conditioners employ the
flaring method to connect refrigerant tubes which run between
indoor and outdoor units. In this method, the copper tubes are
flared at each end and connected with flare nuts.
Flaring Procedure with a Flare Tool
Fig. 6-1
(1) Cut the copper tube to the required length with a tube
cutter. It is recommended to cut approx. 1 – 2 ft. longer
than the tubing length you estimate.
Copper
tubing
(2) Remove burrs at the end of the copper tube with a tube
reamer or file. This process is important and should be
done carefully to make a good flare. (Fig. 6-1)
Reamer
NOTE
When reaming, hold the tube end downward and be sure that
no copper scraps fall into the tube. (Fig. 6-2)
Fig. 6-2
(3) Remove the flare nut from the unit and be sure to mount
it on the copper tube.
(4) Make a flare at the end of copper tube with a flare tool.*
(Fig. 6-3)
(*Use “RIGID®” or equivalent.)

2008/02/07 10:56:09
Caution Before Connecting Tubes Tightly
(1) Apply a sealing cap or water-proof tape to prevent
dust or water from entering the tubes before they
are used.
Apply refrigerant
lubricant
(2) Be sure to apply refrigerant lubricant to the match-
ing surfaces of the flare and union before connecting
them together. This is effective for reducing gas leaks.
(Fig. 6-4)
Fig. 6-4
(3) For proper connection, align the union tube and
flare tube straight with each other, then screw in the
flare nut lightly at first to obtain a smooth match.
(Fig. 6-5)
Adjust the shape of the liquid tube using a tube
bender at the installation site and connect it to the
liquid tubing side valve using a flare.
●

Cautions During Brazing
Torque wrench
Replace air inside the tube with nitrogen gas to
prevent copper oxide film from forming during
the brazing process. (Oxygen, carbon dioxide
and Freon are not acceptable.)
●
Spanner
Indoor unit
Do not allow the tubing to get too hot during
brazing.The nitrogen gas inside the tubing may
overheat, causing refrigerant system valves to
become damaged.Therefore allow the tubing to
cool when brazing.
●
Outdoor unit
Fig. 6-6
Use a reducing valve for the nitrogen cylinder.
●
●
Tightening torque,
approximate
Do not use agents intended to prevent the for-
mation of oxide film.These agents adversely
affect the refrigerant and refrigerant oil, and may
cause damage or malfunctions.

·
When removing the flare nuts from the tubing
connections, or when tightening them after connect-
ing the tubing, be sure to use 2 monkey wrenches or
spanners as shown. (Fig. 6-6)
If the flare nuts are over-tightened, the flare may be
damaged, which could result refrigerant leakage and
cause in injury or asphyxiation to room occupants.
●
Because the pressure is approximately 1.6 times
higher than conventional refrigerant pressure, the
use of ordinary flare nuts (type 1) or thin-walled
tubes may result in tube rupture, injury, or asphyxia-
tion caused by refrigerant leakage.
In order to prevent damage to the flare caused by
over-tightening of the flare nuts, use the table above
as a guide when tightening.
●
●
For the flare nuts at tubing connections, be sure to
use the flare nuts that were supplied with the unit,
or else flare nuts for R410A (type 2). The refrigerant
tubing that is used must be of the correct wall thick-
ness as shown in the table at right.
●
When tightening the flare nut on the liquid tube, use
a monkey wrench with a nominal handle length of
7-7/8 in.

6-4. Taping the Tubes
(1) At this time, the refrigerant tubes (and electrical wir-
ing if local codes permit) should be taped together
with armoring tape in 1 bundle. To prevent the con-
densation from overflowing the drain pan, keep the
drain hose separate from the refrigerant tubing.
(2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the out-
door unit to the top of the tubing where it enters the
wall. As you wrap the tubing, overlap half of each
previous tape turn.
Clamp
Drain hose
Insulated tubes
(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to the wall, using 1 clamp
approx. each ft. (Fig. 6-10)
NOTE
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly since this will
decrease the heat insulation effect. Also ensure that the
condensation drain hose splits away from the bundle
and drips clear of the unit and the tubing.

After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use
sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent

CARE AND CLEANING
1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power before
cleaning.
WARNING
2. Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it.This will damage the internal components
and cause an electric shock hazard.
Air intake and outlet side Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush, or wipe them
(Indoor unit) with a clean, soft cloth.
If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with water. When cleaning the air outlet side,
be careful not to force the vanes out of place.
1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe plastic
CAUTION
parts using very hot water.
2. Some metal edges and the fins are sharp and may cause injury if handled improperly; be
especially careful when you clean these parts.
3. The internal coil and other components must be cleaned regularly. Consult your dealer or
service center.
The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and should be cleaned at regular intervals
as indicated in the table below or when the filter indication ( ) on the display of the remote control
unit (wired type) shows that the filter needs cleaning. If the filter gets blocked, the efficiency of the air
conditioner drops greatly.
