1. Safety Summary
● Do not perform installation work, refrigerant
piping work or electrical wiring connection
without referring to our Installation Manual.
● Check that the ground wire is securely
connected.
● Connect a fuse of specied capacity.
Do not install the Change-Over Box and cable
within approximately 10 ft (3m) from strong
electromagnetic wave radiators such as
medical equipment.
For more details of the refrigerant piping and
height limitations, refer to the Installation and
Maintenance Manual for the Outdoor Unit.

Use the specied non-ammable refrigerant
(R410A) for the outdoor unit in the refrigerant
cycle. Do not charge material other than
R410A into the unit such as hydrocarbon
refrigerants (propane or something similar),
oxygen, ammable gases (acetylene or etc.) or
poisonous gases when installing, maintaining
and moving. These ammables are extremely
dangerous and may cause an explosion, a re,
and injury.
For more details of the refrigerant piping and
height limitations, refer to the Installation and
Maintenance Manual for the Outdoor Unit.

Brazing
When the connections must be cut to prepare
for brazing, use only a copper pipe cutter,
which reduces burrs and copper shavings.
Remove just enough pipe to facilitate the
connection and brazing. Blow nitrogen through
the pipes to clear any remaining foreign
material before the nal tting and brazing.
Prior to brazing, temporarily remove or protect
the piping insulation to prevent it from burning.
Wrap a wet cloth or use a liberal amount of
heat-absorbing compound upstream of the
brazing point to protect the components inside
the Change-Over Box from heat damage.
Ensure the integrity of the brazed joint.
