CAUTION
New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation
- THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT DESTROY OZONE LAYER.
R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurity such as water, oxidizing membrane, and oils because pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx. 1,6 times of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with adoption of the new refrigerant, refrigerating machine oil has been also changed. Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigerating machine oil does not enter into the refrigerating cycle of new-refrigerant air conditioner.
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port of the main unit or installation tools are different from those for the conventional refrigerant. Accordingly, the exclusive tools are required for the new refrigerant (R410A) as shown below.
For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping materials with high pressure-tight force, which were made for R410A only, so that water or dust does not enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are problems about pressure-tight force and inner impurity in the existing piping.
CAUTION
To Disconnect the Appliance from the Mains Supply.
This appliance must be connected to the mains by means of a circuit breaker or a switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm.
DANGER

Refrigerant Piping Connection
CAUTION
KEEP IMPORTANT 4 POINTS FOR PIPING WORK
- Take away dust and moisture.
(Inside of the connecting pipes) - Tight connection (between pipes and unit)
- Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using VACUUM PUMP.
- Check gas leak. (connected points)
Flaring
- Cut the pipe with a pipe cutter.





- Insert a flare nut into the pipe, and flare the pipe.
As the flaring sizes of R410A differ from those of refrigerant R22, the flare tools newly manufactured for R410A are recommended.
However, the conventional tools can be used by adjusting projection margin of the copper pipe.

- Projection margin in flaring : B (Unit : mm)

Fixing bolt arrangement of outdoor unit

text_image
600 Suction side 115 310 76 Diffuser Drain hole- Secure the outdoor unit with the fixing bolts and nuts if the unit is likely to be exposed to a strong wind.
- Use 8 mm or 10 mm anchor bolts and nuts.
- If it is necessary to drain the defrost water attach drain nipple to the bottom plate of the outdoor unit before installing it.
Drainage

text_image
Drainage Bottom plate Drain nipple Ø25 Drain hose sold separately or on the market.- Install the provided drain nipple in the hole of the bottom plate.
- Perform proper drainage processing using a drain hose sold separately or one on the market. (Inner diameter : 16 mm)
-
Do not use an ordinary hose on the market, because it tends to get flat and as a result, it prevents water from draining.
-
Piping connections to the outdoor unit should be arranged in the sequence A, B, C, starting from the bottom.
(For each piping connection, the gas pipe is on the bottom and the liquid pipe is on the top.) -
When multiple indoor units are to be connected to the outdoor unit, make the ends of the pipes and wires from each indoor unit to ensure that they will be connected to the outdoor unit correctly. (Problems caused by indoor units being connected to the outdoor unit incorrectly are very common in multiple-unit installations.)
-
The length and height difference of the connecting pipes between the indoor and outdoor units must be within the ranges indicated below.
• Total piping length : Two room (A + B) Multi, Non. Additional refrigerant Three room (A + B + C) Multi, Non. Additional refrigerant
- Minimum piping length: A or B or C = 2 m or more (A or B = 7 m or more for one unit for heat pump)
• Maximum indoor piping length : A or B or C = 20 m or less
• Maximum piping height difference : A or B or C = 10 m or less
• Maximum piping / height difference between two rooms = 10 m or less
-
If the outdoor unit is to be mounted on a wall, make sure that the platform supporting it is sufficiently strong. The platform should be designed and manufactured maintain its strength over a long period of time, and sufficient consideration should be given to ensuring that the outdoor unit will not fall.
-
When the outdoor unit is to be mounted high on a wall, take particular care to ensure that parts do not fall installer is protected.
-
When doing installation work on level ground, it is usual to wiring and piping connections to the indoor units. And/then make to the outdoor unit.
However if outdoor work is difficult it is possible instead to make changes to the procedure.
For example by making adjustments to the wiring and piping length on the inside (rather than the outside).
How to remove the valve cover
- Remove a screw of the valve cover.
- Pull the valve cover downward.

Tightening connection
Align the centers of the connecting pipes and tighten the flare nut as far as possible with your fingers. Then tighten the nut with a spanner and torque wrench as shown in the figure.
CAUTION
- Do not apply excess torque. Otherwise, the nut may crack depending on the conditions.
(Unit : N·m)
| Outer dia. of copper pipe | Tightening torque |
| ø6,35 mm | 14 ~18 (1,4 ~ 1,8 kgf•m) |
| ø9,52 mm | 33 ~42 (3,3 ~ 4,2 kgf•m) |
| ø12,7 mm | 50 ~62 (5,0 ~ 6,2 kgf•m) |
- Tightening torque of flare pipe connections
Pressure of R410A becomes higher than that of R22. (Approx. 1,6 times) Therefore, using a torque wrench, tighten firmly the flare pipe connecting sections which connect the indoor and outdoor units up to the specified tightening torque. Incorrect connections may cause not only a gas leakage, but also a trouble of the refrigeration cycle.

Evacuating
After the piping has been connected to all indoor unit(s), you can perform the air purge together at once.
AIR PURGE
Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the indoor unit using vacuum pump.
Do not use the refrigerant in the outdoor unit.
For details, see the manual of vacuum pump.
Use a vacuum pump
Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-flow prevention function so that inside oil of the pump does not flow backward into pipes of the air conditioner when the pump stops. (If inside oil of the vacuum pump enters into the air conditioner which adopts R410A, a trouble of the refrigeration cycle may be caused.)
- Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve to the service port of the gas side packed valve.
- Connect the charge hose to the port of vacuum pump.
- Open fully the low pressure side handle of the gauge manifold valve.
- Operate the vacuum pump to start for evacuating. Perform evacuating for about 15 minutes if the piping length is 20 meters. (15 minutes for 20 meters) (assuming a pump capacity of 27 liters per minute.)
Then confirm that the compound pressure gauge reading is -101 kPa (-76 cmHg).
- Close the low pressure side valve handle of gauge manifold.
- Open fully the valve stem of the packed valves (both side of Gas and Liquid).
- Remove the charging hose from the service port.
- Securely tighten the caps on the packed valves.
- Execute above works from 1 to 8 on the each connected indoor unit.

Changes in the product and components
In the case of an air conditioner using R410A, in order to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged accidentally, to service port diameter of the outdoor unit control valve (3 way valve) has been changed. (1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch)
- In order to increase the pressure resisting strength of the refrigerant piping flare processing diameter and size of opposite side of flare nuts has been changed. (for copper pipes with nominal dimensions 1/2 and 5/8)
New tools for R410A
| New tools for R410A | Applicable to R22 model | Changes | |
| Gauge manifold | × | ![]() | As pressure is high, it is impossible to measure by means of conventional gauge. In order to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged, each port diameter has been changed. |
| Charge hose | × | ![]() | In order to increase pressure resisting strength, hose materials and port size have been changed (to 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch). When purchasing a charge hose, be sure to confirm the port size. |
| Electronic balance for refrigerant charging | ○ | ![]() | As pressure is high and gasification speed is fast, it is difficult to read the indicated value by means of charging cylinder, as air bubbles occur. |
| Torque wrench (nominal diam. 1/2, 5/8) | × | ![]() | The size of opposite sides of flare nuts have been increased. Incidentally, a common wrench is used for nominal diameters 1/4 and 3/8. |
| Flare tool (clutch type) | ○ | ![]() | By increasing the clamp bar's receiving hole, strength of spring in the tool has been improved. |
| Gauge for projection adjustment | — | Used when flare is made by using conventional flare tool. | |
| Vacuum pump adapter | ○ | ![]() | Connected to conventional vacuum pump. It is necessary to use an adapter to prevent vacuum pump oil from flowing back to the charge hose. The charge hose connecting part has two ports-one for conventional refrigerant (7/16 UNF 20 threads per inch) and one for R410A. If the vacuum pump oil (mineral) mixes with R410A a sludge may occur and damage the equipment. |
| Gas leakage detector | × | ![]() | Exclusive for HFC refrigerant. |
- Incidentally, the “refrigerant cylinder” comes with the refrigerant designation (R410A) and protector coating in the U. S's ARI specified rose color (ARI color code: PMS 507).
- Also, the “charge port and packing for refrigerant cylinder” require 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch corresponding to the charge hose’s port size.
