Service Manual 7

Safety Precautions

When the product is not to be used for a long time,

disconnect the power by turning off the breaker.

• There is risk of product damage or failure, or unintend-

ed operation.

Take care to ensure that nobody could step on

or fall onto the outdoor unit.

• This could result in personal injury and product dam-

age.

Always check for gas (refrigerant) leak-

age after installation or repair of product.

• Low refrigerant levels may cause

failure of product.

Install the drain hose to ensure that

water is drained away properly.

• A bad connection may cause water

leakage.

Keep level even when

installing the product.

• To avoid vibration or water leak-

age.

Do not install the product

where the noise or hot air

from the outdoor unit could

oftend neighbors.

Safety Precautions

Do not expose the skin direct-

ly to cool air for long periods

of time.

(Don't sit in the draft.)

• This could harm to your health.

Do not use the product for

special purposes, such as

preserving foods, works of

art, etc. It is a consumer air

conditioner, not a precision

refrigeration system.

• There is risk of damage or loss of

property.

Do not block the inlet or outlet

of air flow.

• It may cause product failure.

Use a soft cloth to clean. Do

not use harsh detergents, sol-

vents, etc.

• There is risk of fire, electric shock,

or damage to the plastic parts of

the product.

Do not touch the metal parts of

the product when removing the

air filter. They are very sharp!

• There is risk of personal injury.

Do not step on or put anyting

on the product. (outdoor

units)

• There is risk of personal injury and

failure of product.

Always insert the filter secure-

ly. Clean the filter every two

weeks or more often if neces-

sary.

•

A dirty filter reduces the efficiency of

the air conditioner and could cause

product malfunction or damage.

Installation

Indoor unit

1. Do not have any heat or steam near the unit.

2. Select a place where there are no obstacles in front

of the unit.

3. Make sure that condensation drainage can be conve-

niently routed away.

4. Do not install near a doorway.

5. Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from the wall,

ceiling, fence or other obstacles.

6. Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unneces-

sary damage to the wall.

Outdoor unit

1. If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct

sunlight or rain exposure, make sure that heat radia-

tion from the condenser is not restricted.

2. Ensure that the spaces indicated by arrows around

front, back and side of the unit.

3. Do not place animals and plants in the path of the

warm air.

4. Take the air conditioner weight into account and

select a place where noise and vibration are mini-

mum.

5.

Select a place so that the warm air and sound from

the air conditioner do not disturb neighbors.

Rooftop Installations:

If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof structure, be

sure to level the unit. Ensure the roof structure and

anchoring method are adequate for the unit location.

Consult local codes regarding rooftop mounting.

Installation

The wall you select should be strong and solid

enough to prevent vibration

1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with

type "A" screws. If mounting the unit on a concrete

wall, use anchor bolts.

• Mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning

the centerline using a level.

2. Measure the wall and mark the centerline. It is also

important to use caution concerning the location of

the installation plate. Routing of the wiring to power

outlets is through the walls typically. Drilling the

hole through the wall for piping connections must

be done safely.

Flaring Work and Connection of Piping

Flaring work

Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.

Cut the pipes and the cable.

1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased

locally.

2. Measure the distance between the indoor and the out-

door unit.

3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.

4. Cut the cable 1.5m (5.0ft) longer than the pipe length.

Burrs removal

1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section

of pipe/tube.

2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward

direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid dropping

burrs into the tubing.

Putting nut on

• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor unit,

then put them on pipe/tube having completed burr

removal.

(not possible to put them on after flaring work)

Flaring work

• Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below.

• Firmly hold copper pipe in a Bar in the dimension shown

in the table below.

Flaring Work and Connection of Piping

Check

1. Compare the flared work with the figure.

2. If a flared section is defective, cut it off and do flaring

work again.

Indoor

1. Prepare the indoor unit's piping and drain hose for installation through the wall.

2. Remove the plastic tubing retainer(see the illustra-

tion) and pull the tubing and drain hose away from

chassis.

3. Replace the plastic holder in original position.

1. Route the indoor tubing and the drain hose in the

direction of rear right.

2.

Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit from the

outdoor unit through the piping hole.

• Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.

• Make a small loop with the cable for easy connec-

tion later.

3. Tape the tubing, drain hose, and the connecting

cable. Be sure that the drain hose is located at the

lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the uper side

can cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.

If the drain hose is routed inside the room, insulate the

hose with an insulation material* so that dripping from

"sweating"(condensation) will not damage furniture or

floors.

*Foamed polyethylene or equivalent is recommended.

4. Indoor unit installation

Hook the indoor unit onto the upper portion of the

installation plate.(Engage the two hooks of the rear

top of the indoor unit with the upper edge of the

installation plate.) Ensure that the hooks are properly

seated on the installation plate by moving it left and

right.

Press the lower left and right sides of the unit against

the installation plate until the hooks engage into their

slots(clicking sound).

Connecting the piping to the indoor unit and drain

hose to drain pipe.

1. Align the center of the pipes and sufficiently tighten

the flare nut by hand.

2. Tighten the flare nut with a wrench.

3. When extending the drain hose at the indoor unit,

install the drain pipe.

Wrap the insulation material around the connecting

portion.

1. Overlap the connection pipe insulation material and

the indoor unit pipe insulation material. Bind them

together with vinyl tape so that there may be no gap.

2. Wrap the area which accommodates the rear piping

housing section with vinyl tape.

3. Bundle the piping and drain hose together by wrap-

ping them with vinyl tape for enough to cover where

they fit into the rear piping housing section.
