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.

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.

Pay special attention to any  
location, such as a basement,  
etc., where leaking refrigerant  
can accumulate, since refrig-

(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.

*Insulators for both the Suction tube and the Discharge tube are the same.  
*Suction tube and Discharge tube are similar in sizes and both the tube entrances have the same diameter. So the both  
Distribution joints can fit into different tubes. Since the diameter of the tube ends for both Suction and Discharge tube are  
different, take care not to connect the distribution joint different. See the " # " marks on the above figures.

*Insulators for both the Suction tube and the Discharge tube are the same.  
*Suction tube and Discharge tube are similar in sizes and both the tube entrances have the same diameter. So the both  
Distribution joints can fit into different tubes. Since the diameter of the tube ends for both Suction and Discharge tube are  
different, take care not to connect the distribution joint different. See the " # " marks on the above figures.

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.

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.

3-22. Installing the Drain Piping  
Align the hose band with end of the  
hose, and tighten so that it does not  
contact the bead.  
(1) Prepare standard hard PVC pipe (O.D. 1-1/4") for the drain  
and use the supplied hose band to prevent water leaks.  
The PVC pipe must be purchased separately.  
The transparent drain part on the unit allows you to check  
drainage. (Fig. 3-91)

Do not use the supplied drain hose bent at a 90° angle.  
(The maximum permissible bend is 45°.)  
Tighten the hose clamps so their locking nuts face upward.  
(Fig. 3-91)  
(2) After connecting the drain piping securely, wrap the supplied  
packing and drain pipe insulator around the pipe, then secure it  
with the supplied vinyl clamps. (Fig. 3-92)

NOTE  
Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100 or more)  
and that there are no water traps.

11-13/16" or less  
19-11/16" or less  
If it is necessary to increase the height of the drain pipe, the  
section directly after the connection port can be raised a  
maximum of 19-11/16". Do not raise it any higher than  
19-11/16", as this could result in water leaks. (Fig. 3-94)  
Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient from the connec-  
tion port. This will cause the drain water to flow backward and leak  
when the unit is not operating. (Fig. 3-95)  
Good  
Fig. 3-94  
Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when connecting  
the drain pipe. The pipe should not be allowed to hang unsupport-  
ed from its connection to the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame,  
or other support as close to the unit as possible. (Fig. 3-96)

3-23. Checking the Drainage  
Fig. 3-95  
After wiring and drain piping are completed, use the following proce-  
dure to check that the water will drain smoothly. For this, prepare a  
bucket and wiping cloth to catch and wipe up spilled water.  
Support pieces  
(1) Connect power to the power terminal board (R, S terminals)  
inside the electrical component box.  
(2) Remove the tube cover and through the opening, slowly pour  
approx. 0.3 gal of water into the drain pan to check drainage.  
Fig. 3-96  
(3) Short the check pin (CHK) on the indoor control board and oper-  
ate the drain pump. Check the water flow through the transparent  
drain port and see if there is any leakage.

(4) When the check of drainage is complete, open the check pin (CHK)  
and remount the insulator and drain cap onto the drain inspection port.  
3-24. Increasing the Fan Speed  
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.  
U
Fig. 3-97  
(3) Take out the booster cable (sockets at both ends)  
clamped in the box.

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 “Lfan  
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.

This unit has high static pressure (applicable external stat-  
ic pressure Max. 0.68 – 0.88 in. WG. In the case of small  
pressure resistance (for instance, a short duct), install a  
damper for adjusting air flow volume as air flow volume /  
air flow noise increases.

If the air conditioner is to be installed in a room such  
as an office or meeting room which needs a low sound  
level, provide a supply and return noise absorption  
chamber with an acoustic liner.

CAUTION  
Do not use adhesive when connecting the supplied drain hose to  
the drain port (either on the main unit or the PVC pipe).  
Wrap the hose with the supplied drain hose insulation and use the  
4 twist ties so that the hose is insulated with no gaps.  
Connect the drain piping so that it slopes downward from the unit  
to the outside. (Fig. 3-129)  
Attach so that the hose band fastener is  
on the side of the drain port. (Fig. 3-130)

Do not apply a monkey wrench  
to the hexagonal part.  
Use two monkey wrenches, as shown in the figure,  
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

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.

5. ELECTRICAL WIRING  
5-1. General Precautions on Wiring  
(1) Before wiring, confirm the rated voltage of the unit  
as shown on its nameplate, then carry out the wiring  
closely following the wiring diagram.  
(7) Regulations on wire diameters differ from locality  
to locality. For field wiring rules, please refer to your  
LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES before beginning.  
(2) Provide a power outlet to be used exclusively for  
each unit, and a power supply disconnect and circuit  
breaker for overcurrent protection should be provid-  
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.  
Use shielded wires for inter-unit control wiring  
(5) Do not allow wiring to touch the refrigerant tubing,  
compressor, or any moving parts of the fan.  
between units and ground the shield on both sides.  
(9) If the power supply cord of this appliance is dam-  
aged, it must be replaced by a repair shop appoint-  
ed by the manufacture, because special purpose  
tools are required.  
(6) Unauthorized changes in the internal wiring can be  
very dangerous. The manufacturer will accept no  
responsibility for any damage or misoperation that  
occurs as a result of such unauthorized changes.

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.  
After  
Before  
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.)

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.  
Fig. 6-10  
6-5. Finishing the Installation  
Apply putty here  
After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use  
sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent  
rain and draft from entering. (Fig. 6-11)

ated to remove any noncondensables and moisture  
from the system.

Check that each tube between the indoor and outdoor  
units have been properly connected and all wiring for  
the test run has been completed. Remove the valve  
caps from all service ports on the outdoor unit. (Fig.  
7-2) Note that all service valves on the outdoor unit are  
kept closed at this stage.

(4) After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve  
the nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose  
connector at the nitrogen cylinder. When the system  
pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect the hose  
from the cylinder.  
Evacuation  
(1) Attach the charge hose end described in the preced-  
ing steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tub-  
ing and indoor unit. Confirm that the “Lo” knob of the  
manifold valve is open. Then, run the vacuum pump.  
The operation time for evacuation varies with the  
tubing length and capacity of the pump. The follow-  
ing table shows the amount of time for evacuation:

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.

The frequency with which the filter should be cleaned depends on the environment in which the  
unit is used.  
<How to clean the filter>  
<How to remove the filter>  
1. Remove the air filter from the air intake grille.  
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust. If there is sticky dust on the filter, wash the  
filter in lukewarm, soapy water, rinse it in clean water, and dry it.  
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the bolt screw on each side for the two latches. (Be sure to  
reattach the two bolt screws after cleaning.)  
2. Press on the two latches of the air intake grille with your thumbs in the direction of the  
arrow to open the grille.  
3. Open the air intake grille downward.  
When cleaning the air filter, never remove the safety chain. If it is necessary to remove it  
for servicing and maintenance inside, be sure to reinstall the safety chain securely (hook  
on the grille side) after the work.  
CAUTION  
When the filter has been removed, rotating parts (such as the fan), electrically charged  
areas, etc. will be exposed in the unit’s opening. Bear in mind the dangers that these parts  
and areas pose, and proceed with the work carefully.
