 Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant
1. Care regarding tubing
1-1. Process tubing
l Material: Use seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper tube for refrigeration. Wall thickness shall comply with the
applicable legislation. The minimal wall thickness must be in accordance with the table below.
l Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.
l Use a tube cutter when cutting the tubing, and be sure to remove any flash. This also applies to distribution joints
(optional).
l 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
CAUTION
CAUTION prevent dirt, moisture, or other foreign substances from entering.
These substances can result in system malfunction.

3/4" (19.05) 0.042 (1.0668) Unit: in. (mm)

1-2. Prevent impurities including water, dust and oxide from entering the tubing. Impurities can cause R410A
refrigerant 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
refrigerant 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.

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.

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.

NOTE
1: The outdoor connection main tubing (LO portion) is determined by the total capacity of the outdoor units that are connected to
the tube ends.
2: If the longest tubing length (L1) exceeds 295 ft. (90m) (equivalent length), increase the sizes of the main tubes (LM) by 1 rank for
gas tubes and liquid tubes. (Use a field supply reducer.) (Select the tube size from the table of main tube sizes (Table 1-3) on the
following page (LA table), and from the table of refrigerant tubing sizes (Table 1-9) on the second following page.)
3: If the longest main tubing length (LM) exceeds 164 ft. (50m), increase the main tube size at the portion before 164 ft. (50m) by 1
rank for the gas tubes. (Use a field supply reducer.)
(For the portion that exceeds 164 ft. (50m), set based on the main tube sizes (LA) listed in the table on the following page.)
4: If the tubing length marked "L" (L2 - L4) exceeds 131 ft. (40m), increase the liquid tube and gas tube by 1 rank.
5: If the total distribution tubing length exceeds 1,640ft. (500m), maximum allowable elevation difference (H2) between the indoor
units is calculated by the following formula. Make sure the indoor unit’s actual elevation difference should fall within the figure
calculated as follows.
Unit of account (feet): 49 x (2 - total tubing length(ft.) ÷ 1,640) or Unit of account (meter): 15 x (2 - total tubing length(m) ÷ 500)
6: If any of the tubing length exceeds 98ft. (30m), increase the size of the liquid and gas tubes by 1 rank.

l 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.
l After charging is completed, turn all valves to the “fully open” position.
l Replace the tubing covers as they were before.
1. R410A additional charging absolutely must be done through liquid charging.
CAUTION
CAUTION 2. The R410A refrigerant cylinder has a gray base color, and the top part is pink.
3. The R410A refrigerant cylinder includes a siphon tube. Check that the siphon tube is present.
(This is indicated on the label at the top of the cylinder.)
4. Due to differences in the refrigerant, pressure, and refrigerant oil involved in installation, it is
not possible in some cases to use the same tools for R22 and for R410A.

 3. HOW TO INSTALL THE OUTDOOR UNIT
3-1. Transporting
When transporting the unit, have it delivered as close to the installation site as
possible without unpacking. Use a hook for suspending the unit.

CAUTION
CAUTION

l When hoisting the outdoor unit, pass ropes or straps under the bottom plate
as shown in the figure at right. When hoisting, the angle between the rope
and top panel must be 70° or greater so that the rope does not come into
contact with the fan guard.
(Use 2 lengths of rope 25 ft. (approx. 7.6 m) long or more.)
l When passing the ropes through the square holes of the bottom plate:
Place the rope in the outer edge of the square holes.
l Use protective panels or padding at all locations where the rope
contacts the outer casing or other parts to prevent scratching.
In particular, use protective material (such as cloth or cardboard) Rope
A A
to prevent the edges of the top panel from being scratched.
l Be careful of the fan.
There is danger of injury if the fan starts to turn during inspection.
This is not a lifting lug.
Be sure to turn OFF the remote power switch before beginning <Do not attempt to lift the unit by one of the
inspection. Detailed legs at each corner of the unit or with hooks
drawing A or shackles attached for installing the legs.>
3-2. Installing the Outdoor Unit
(1) Use anchor bolts (15/32" or M12) or similar to securely anchor the unit in place.
(2) Make sure the rubber vibration insulator and platform extend to the inside of the legs. In addition, the washers used to anchor the
unit from the top must be larger than the installation anchor holes.

 5. HOW TO PROCESS TUBING (3) Remove the flare nut from the unit and be sure to mount it
on the copper tube.
The liquid tubing side is connected by a flare nut, and the gas
tubing side is connected by brazing. (4) Make a flare at the end of copper tube with a flare tool.

5-1. Connecting the Refrigerant Tubing

Use of the Flaring Method

Flare nut
Many of conventional split system air conditioners employ the Copper
flaring method to connect refrigerant tubes which run between tubing

indoor and outdoor units. In this method, the copper tubes are
flared at each end and connected with flare nuts.
Flare tool

Flaring Procedure with a Flare Tool

NOTE
(1) Cut the copper tube to the required length with a tube cutter.
It is recommended to cut approx. 1 – 2 ft. (0.3 - 0.6m) longer A good flare should have the following characteristics:
than the tubing length you estimate. l inside surface is glossy and smooth
l edge is smooth
(2) Remove burrs at the end of the copper tube with a tube
reamer or file. This process is important and should be done l tapered sides are of uniform length
carefully to make a good flare.
Deburring

Before After

NOTE
When reaming, hold the tube end downward and be sure that no
copper scraps fall into the tube.

 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.
(2) Be sure to apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and union
before connecting them together. This is effective for reducing gas leaks.
(3) For proper connection, align the union tube and flare tube straight with each other, Apply refrigerant
lubricant
then screw in the flare nut lightly at first to obtain a smooth match.
l 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

l 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.)
Union Flare nut
l 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.
Torque wrench
Therefore allow the tubing to cool when brazing.
l Use a reducing valve for the nitrogen cylinder.
Spanner
l Do not use agents intended to prevent the formation of oxide film. Indoor unit
These agents adversely affect the refrigerant and refrigerant oil, and may
cause damage or malfunctions.

The refrigerant tubing that is used must be of the correct
wall thickness as shown in the table at right.
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 asphyxiation caused by refrigerant leakage.

l 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.

l When tightening the flare nut on the liquid tube, use an adjustable wrench with a nominal handle length of 7-7/8" (200 mm).

Final check must be done under the conditions of inter-outdoor unit control wiring
connected to the centralized control system and the resistor between conductors
must be measured by a Megger. Check if it is showing between 30Ω and 120Ω. Wire
If the resistance value is out of range, check adjustment of the termination resistor again.
Even if it is out of range, the problem is caused by wiring.

ATTENTION!
Adjustment of terminating resistance (pin) is necessary.
Communication failure will occur unless adjustment is made correctly.
• Terminating resistance (pin) is mounted on outdoor unit control P.C. board.
• When connecting central controller, interface or peripheral equipment, adjustment of terminating resistance (pin) is necessary.
Although the connection is not made, confirmation is necessary for VRF systems.
• In the case of a refrigerant system, the terminating resistance (pin) for this inter-unit control wiring (S-LINK wiring) is one
location (See the section “7-5. Auto Address Setting”).
For 2 or more refrigerant systems, 2 locations should be valid (“SHORT” for VRF systems at shipment). See the section
“7-5. Auto Address Setting”.
In order to make 2 locations valid, let the terminating resistance (pin) of the nearest outdoor unit and the farthest outdoor unit be
valid (SHORT side) from the location of central controller.
In other refrigerant systems excepting 2 locations described above, make them invalid (OPEN side).
It is prohibited making more than 3 locations of terminating resistance valid.
• Since the use of linking the sub outdoor units of VRF systems is not connected to the inter-unit control wiring, it is not necessary
to make the terminating resistance invalid “OPEN side”.

Make final confirmation regarding the central controller or interface & inter-unit control wiring (S-LINK wiring) connected to the
peripheral equipment.
Measure the line resistance with a tester and check whether the values are in the range of 30Ω - 120Ω.
If the resistance values are out of range, check again the terminating resistance.
Megger
Nevertheless, if the values are out of range, the problem comes from wiring.
Line
• Is the connection properly made? (Wire)

• Are there any scratches or damages on the coated surface?

(Wire)
• Measure the line, between wires and ground with the 500V megger (insulation
resistance meter) and check the values are over 100MΩ. Between wires and ground
• When measuring, be sure to remove both edges of the wire from the terminal board. (Wire)
If not removed, it will be damaged. (Wire)
• If the line resistance is within 100MΩ, newly carry out the wiring work. (Ground)
