HOW TO FIX INSTALLATION PLATE
The mounting wall must be strong and solid enough to prevent it from the vibration.
SELECT THE BEST LOCATION
(Refer to “Select the best location” section)
The center of installation plate should be at more than 1 at right and left of the wall.
The distance from installation plate edge to ceiling should more than 2.
From installation plate left edge to unit’s left side is 3.
From installation plate right edge to unit’s right is 4.
b : For left side piping, piping connection for liquid should be about 5 from this line.
: For left side piping, piping connection for gas should be about 6 from this line.
1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with 5 screws or more (at least 5 screws).
(If mounting the unit on the concrete wall, consider using anchor bolts.)
•
Always mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning the marking-off line with the thread and using
a level gauge.
2. Drill the piping plate hole with ø2
3
/4" hole-core drill.
•
Line according to the left and right side of the installation plate. The meeting point of the extended line is the
center of the hole. Another method is by putting measuring tape at position as shown in the diagram above.
The hole center is obtained by measuring the distance namely 5
1
/16" for left and right hole respectively.
•
Drill the piping hole at either the right or the left and the hole should be slightly slanting to the outdoor side.

CUTTING AND FLARING THE PIPING
1. Please cut using pipe cutter and then remove the burrs.
2. Remove the burrs by using reamer. If burrs is not removed, gas leakage may be caused.
Turn the piping end down to avoid the metal powder entering the pipe.
3. Please make fl are after inserting the fl are nut onto the copper pipes.
1. To cut
When properly fl ared, the internal surface of the
fl are will evenly shine and be of even thickness.
Since the fl are part comes into contact with the
connections, carefully check the fl are fi nish.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
This indication shows the possibility of causing death or serious injury.
CAUTION
This indication shows the possibility of causing injury or damage to properties only.
Symbol with white background denotes item that is PROHIBITED.
Symbol with dark background denotes item that must be carried out.
WARNING
Do not install outdoor unit near handrail of veranda. When installing air-conditioner unit on veranda of a high rise building, child may climb up to outdoor unit and
cross over the handrail causing an accident.
Do not use unspecifi ed cord, modifi ed cord, joint cord or extension cord for power supply cord. Do not share the single outlet with other electrical appliances. Poor
contact, poor insulation or over current will cause electrical shock or fi re.
Do not tie up the power supply cord into a bundle by band. Abnormal temperature rise on power supply cord may happen.
Do not insert your fi ngers or other objects into the unit, high speed rotating fan may cause injury.
Do not sit or step on the unit, you may fall down accidentally.
Keep plastic bag (packaging material) away from small children, it may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing.
When installing or relocating air conditioner, do not let any substance other than the specifi ed refrigerant, eg. air etc. mix into refrigeration cycle (piping).
Mixing of air etc will cause abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
Do not add or replace refrigerant other than specifi ed type. It may cause product damage, burst and injury etc.
●
For R410A model, use piping, fl are nut and tools which is specifi ed for R410A refrigerant. Using of existing (R22) piping, fl are nut and tools may cause abnormally
high pressure in the refrigerant cycle (piping), and possibly result in explosion and injury.
●
Thickness or copper pipes used with R410A must be more than
1
/32". Never use copper pipes thinner than
1
/32".
●
It is desirable that the amount of residual oil is less than 0.0008 oz/ft..
Engage authorized dealer or specialist for installation. If installation done by the user is incorrect, it will cause water leakage, electrical shock or fi re.
Install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water leakage, electrical shock or fi re.
Use the attached accessories parts and specifi ed parts for installation. Otherwise, it will cause the set to fall, water leakage, fi re or electrical shock.
Install at a strong and fi rm location which is able to withstand the set’s weight. If the strength is not enough or installation is not properly done, the set will drop
and cause injury.
For installation work, follow all electrical, building, plumbing, local codes, regulations and these installation instructions. If electrical circuit capacity is not enough or a
defect is found in electrical work, it will cause electrical shock or fi re.
Do not use spliced wires for indoor / outdoor connection cable. Use the specifi ed indoor / outdoor connection cable, refer to instruction 5 INDOOR/OUTDOOR
UNIT ELECTRICAL WIRING and connect tightly for indoor/outdoor connection. Clamp the cable so that no external force will have impact on the terminal. If
connection or fi xing is not perfect, it will cause heat-up or fi re at the connection.
Wire routing must be properly arranged so that control board cover is fi xed properly. If control board cover is not fi xed perfectly, it will cause fi re or electrical shock.
This equipment must installed with an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) or Appliance Leakage Current Interrupter
(ALCI) that has been certifi ed by an NRTL Certifi ed Testing Agency and that is suitable for the voltages and amperages involved. Otherwise, if may cause electrical
shock and fi re in case of equipment breakdown.
During installation, install the refrigerant piping properly before running the compressor. Operation of compressor without fi xing refrigeration piping and valves at opened
condition will cause suck-in of air, abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before removing the refrigeration piping. Removal of refrigeration piping while compressor is operating and valves
are opened will cause suck-in of air, abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
Tighten the fl are nut with torque wrench according to specifi ed method. If the fl are nut is over-tightened, after a long period, the fl are may break and cause refrigerant
gas leakage.
After completion of installation, confi rm there is no leakage of refrigerant gas. It may generate toxic gas when the refrigerant comes into contact with fi re.
Ventilate if there is refrigerant gas leakage during operation. It may cause toxic gas when the refrigerant comes into contact with fi re.
This equipment must be properly earthed. Earth line must not be connected to gas pipe, water pipe, earth of lightning rod and telephone. Otherwise, it may cause
electrical shock in case of equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.
CAUTION
Do not install the unit at place where leakage of fl ammable gas may occur. In case gas leaks and accumulates at surrounding of the unit, it may cause fi re.
Do not release refrigerant during piping work for installation, re-installation and during repairing a refrigeration parts. Take care of the liquid refrigerant, it may
cause frostbite.
Do not install this appliance in a laundry room or other location where water may drip from the ceiling, etc.
Do not touch the sharp aluminium fi n, sharp parts may cause injury.
Carry out drainage piping as mentioned in installation instructions. If drainage is not perfect, water may enter the room and damage the furniture.
Select an installation location which is easy for maintenance.
Power supply connection to the room air conditioner.
Power supply cord shall be UL listed or CSA approved 3 conductor with minimum AWG12 wires.
Power supply point should be in an easily accessible place for power disconnection in case of emergency.
In some countries, permanent connection of this air conditioner to the power supply is prohibited.
Fix power supply connection to a circuit breaker for the permanent connection.
Use NRTL approved fuse or circuit breaker (rating refers to name plate) for the permanent connection.
