Insulating
measures
-9-
When performing repairs using a gas burner, replace the refrigerant with nitrogen gas because
the oil that coats the pipes may otherwise burn.
When repairing the refrigerating cycle, take the following measures.
1) Be attentive to fire around the cycle.
When using a gas stove, etc., be sure to put out fire before work; otherwise the oil mixed with
No fire
refrigerant gas may catch fire.
2) Do not use a welder in the closed room.
When using it without ventilation, carbon monoxide poisoning may be caused.
3) Do not bring inflammables close to the refrigerant cycle, otherwise fire of the welder may catch
the inflammables.
The refrigerant used by this air conditioner is the R32.
Check the used refrigerant name and use tools and materials of the parts which match with it.
For the products which use R32 refrigerant, the refrigerant name is indicated at a position on the
outdoor unit where is easy to see. To prevent miss-charging, the route of the service port
is changed from one of the former R22.
Be careful for miss-charging since a charging port of R32 is the same diameter as that of R410A.
Do not use any refrigerant different from the one specified for complement or replacement.
Otherwise, abnormally high pressure may be generated in the refrigeration cycle, which may
result in a failure or explosion of the product or an injury to your body.
For an air conditioner which uses R32, never use other refrigerant than R32.
For an air conditioner which uses other refrigerant (R22, R410A etc.), never use R32.
If different types of refrigerant are mixed, abnormal high pressure generates in the refrigerating
cycle and an injury due to breakage may be caused.
If the different type of refrigerants are mixed in, be sure to recharge the refrigerant
Do not charge refrigerant additionally.
If charging refrigerant additionally when refrigerant gas leaks, the refrigerant composition in the
Refrigerant refrigerating cycle changes resulted in change of air conditioner characteristics or refrigerant over
the specified standard amount is charged and an abnormal high pressure is applied to the inside
of the refrigerating cycle resulted in cause of breakage or injury. Therefore if the refrigerant gas
leaks, recover the refrigerant in the air conditioner, execute vacuuming, and then newly recharge
the specified amount of liquid refrigerant. In this time, never charge the refrigerant over the
specified amount.
When recharging the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle, do not mix the refrigerant or air other
than R32 into the specified refrigerant. If air or others is mixed with the refrigerant, abnormal
high pressure generates in the refrigerating cycle resulted in cause of injury due to breakage.
After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak. If refrigerant gas leaks into
the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, it may generate noxious gases,
causing a fire.
Never recover the refrigerant into the outdoor unit.
When the equipment is moved or repaired, be sure to recover the refrigerant with recovering
device. The refrigerant cannot be recovered in the outdoor unit; otherwise a serious accident
such as breakage or injury is caused.
After repair work, surely assemble the disassembled parts, and connect and lead the removed
wires as before. Perform the work so that the cabinet or panel does not catch the inner wires.
Assembly/ If incorrect assembly or incorrect wire connection was done, a disaster such as a leak or fire is
Wiring caused at user’s side.
After the work has finished, be sure to use an insulation tester set (500V Megger) to check the
resistance is 1MΩ or more between the charge section and the non-charge metal section
Insulator (Earth position). If the resistance value is low, a disaster such as a leak or electric shock
check is caused at user’s side.
When the refrigerant gas leaks during work, execute ventilation.
If the refrigerant gas touches to a fire, it may generate noxious gases, causing a fire.
A case of leakage of the refrigerant and the closed room full with gas is dangerous because a
Ventilation shortage of oxygen occurs. Be sure to execute ventilation.
If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.
If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, it may generate noxious gases,
causing a fire.
- 10 -
When the refrigerant gas leaks, find up the leaked position and repair it surely.
If the leaked position cannot be found up and the repair work is interrupted, pump-down and
tighten the service valve, otherwise the refrigerant gas may leak into the room.
When gas touches to fire such as fan heater, stove or cocking stove, it may generate noxious
gases, causing a fire though the refrigerant gas itself is innocuous.
When installing equipment which includes a large amount of charged refrigerant such as a multi
air conditioner in a sub-room, it is necessary that the density does not the limit even if the
refrigerant leaks. If the refrigerant leaks and exceeds the limit density, an accident of shortage
of oxygen is caused.
Compulsion
Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner.
Excessive tighten of the flare nut may cause a crack in the flare nut after a long period, which
may result in refrigerant leakage.
Nitrogen gas must be used for the airtight test.
The charge hose must be connected in such a way that it is not slack.
For the installation/moving/reinstallation work, follow to the Installation Manual.
If an incorrect installation is done, a trouble of the refrigerating cycle, water leak, electric shock or
fire is caused.
Install the outdoor unit properly in a location that is durable enough to support the weight of
the outdoor unit. Insufficient durability may cause the outdoor unit to fall, which may result in injury.
Once the repair work has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks, and check the insulation
resistance and water drainage. Then perform a trial run to check that the air conditioner is
running properly.
After repair work has finished, check there is no trouble. If check is not executed, a fire, electric

Refrigerant R32
This air conditioner adopts a new HFC type refrigerant (R32) which does not deplete the ozone layer.
1) Never use refrigerant other than specified refrigerant (R32) in an air conditioner which is designed
to operate with the specified refrigerant (R32).
If other refrigerant than R32 is used, it may cause personal injury, etc. by a malfunction, a fire,
a rupture.
2) Since R32 is heavier than air, it tends to accumulate on the bottom (near the floor). Ventilate
properly for the working environment to prevent its combustion. Especially in a basement or
a closed room where is the high risk of the accumulation, ventilate the room with a local exhaust
ventilation. If refrigerant leakage is confirmed in the room or the place where the ventilation is
insufficient, do not work until the proper ventilation is performed and the work environment is
improved.
3) When performing brazing work, be sure to check for leakage refrigerant or residual refrigerant.
If the leakage refrigerant comes into contact with fire, a poisonous gas may occur or it may cause
a fire. Keep adequate ventilation during the work.
4) When refrigerant gas leaks during work, execute ventilation. If the leakage refrigerant comes into
contact with a fire, a poisonous gas may occur or it may cause a fire.
5) In places where installing / repairing air-conditioning equipment, etc., keep the source of ignition
such as gas combustion equipment, petroleum combustion equipment, electric heater etc. away.
Do not smoke in the place.
6) When installing or removing an air conditioner, do not mix air in the refrigerant cycle. If air or
others is mixed with the refrigerant, abnormal high pressure generates in the refrigerating cycle,
causing injury due to the breakage.
7) After installation work complete, confirm that refrigerant gas is not leaking on the flare connection
part or others. If leaked refrigerant comes to contact with a fire, toxic gas may occur, causing a
fire.
8) Perform the installation work and re-installation according to the installation manual. Pay attention
especially to the area of application. Improper installation may cause refrigeration trouble or water
leakage, electric shock and fire etc.
9) Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs
please call a qualified air conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repair may result in water
leakage, electric shock and fire, etc.
10) Carry out the airtight test with nitrogen at a specified pressure. Do not use oxygen or acetylene
gas absolutely as it may cause an explosion.
11) Always carry a refrigerant leakage detection sensor during the work and work while checking that
no refrigerant leaks around working environment.
12) If the leakage refrigerant comes into contact with fire, it may cause a fire. Have a dry powder or
CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
- 15 -
<Caution items>
1) The opposite side dimension of the air-conditioner's flared nut using R32 and the shape of the charge
port are the same as those of R410A.
2) Be careful not to charge refrigerant by mistake. Should the different type of refrigerant mix in, be sure
to recharge the refrigerant
3) Do not mix the other refrigerant or refrigerating oil with the refrigerant.
4) Since the pressure of R32 is higher 1.6 times of that of the former refrigerant (R22), use tools and
parts with high pressure withstand specification similar to R410A.
5) In the installation time, use clean pipe materials and work with great attention so that water and others
do not mix in because pipes are affected by impurities such as water, oxide film, oil, etc. Use the clean
pipes. Be sure to braze while flowing nitrogen gas in the pipe.
(Never use gas other than nitrogen gas.)
6) For the earth protection, use a vacuum pump for air purge.
7) R32 refrigerant is Single-component refrigerant that does not change its composition. Although it is
possible to charge the refrigerant with either liquid or gas, charge it with liquid.
(If using gas for charging, composition of the refrigerant changes and then characteristics of the air
conditioner change.)
3. Pipe Materials
For the refrigerant pipes, copper pipe and joints are mainly used.
It is necessary to select the most appropriate pipes to conform to the standard.
Use clean material in which impurities adhere inside of pipe or joint to a minimum.
1) Copper pipe
<Piping>
The pipe thickness, flare finishing size, flare nut and others differ according to a refrigerant type.
When using a long copper pipe for R32, it is recommended to select “Copper or copper-base pipe
without seam” and one with bonded oil amount 40mg/10m or less.
Also do not use crushed, deformed, discolored (especially inside) pipes.
(Impurities cause clogging of expansion valves and capillary tubes.)
<Flare nut>
Use the flare nuts which are attached to the air conditioner unit.
Be sure to select the pipes with copper thickness in the table below since the pressure of an
air conditioner using R32 is higher than that of R22.
Nominal Outer Thickness (mm) Make sure not to use a thin copper
diameter diameter (mm) R410A or R32 pipe sach as 0.7 mm copper

3/8 9.5 0.80
1/2 12.7 0.80
5/8 15.9 1.00
2) Joint
The flare joint and socket joint are used for joints of the copper pipe.
The joints are rarely used for installation of the air conditioner.
However clear impurities when using them.

Note 1 When flaring is carried out for R32/R410A using the conventional flare tools, adjustment of
projection margin is necessary. For this adjustment, a copper pipe gauge, etc. are necessary.
Note 2 When saturation temperature is described, the gauge manifold differs for R32/R410A .
If saturation temperature reading is required, special tools exclusive for R32 are required.
Note 3 Since R32 has a slight possibility of burning, be sure to use the tools corresponding to R32.
Note 4 Like R410, a Vacuum pump adapter needs installing to prevent a Vacuum pump oil (mineral oil) from
flowing backward into the Charge hose. Mixing of the Vacuum pump oil into R32 refrigerant may
cause a trouble such as generation of sludge, clogging of capillary, etc.
Note 5 Be sure to use those tools after confirming they correspond to each refrigerant.
Note 6 For a refrigerant cylinder exclusive for R32, the paint color (or label color) of the cylinder is set
the specified color (light blue) together with the indication of the refrigerant name.
Note 7 Although the container specification is the same as R410A, use a recovering container exclusive
for R32 to avoid mixing with other refrigerants.
Note 8 Be careful for miss-charging of the refrigerant during work. Miss-charging of the refrigerant type
may cause not only damage of the equipments but also a fire etc.
General tools
In addition to the above exclusive tools, the following equipments are necessary as the general tools.
1) Pipe cutter 6) Spanner or Monkey wrench
2) Reamer 7) Hole core drill

For copper pipes, flare joints or socket joints are used. Prior to use, be sure to remove all contaminants.
a) Flare Joints
Flare joints used to connect the copper pipes cannot be used for pipings whose outer diameter exceeds
20 mm. In such a case, socket joints can be used.
Sizes of flare pipe ends, flare joint ends and flare nuts are as shown in Tables 6-2-3 to 6-2-5 below.
b) Socket Joints
Socket joints are such that they are brazed for connections, and used mainly for thick pipings whose
diameter is larger than 20 mm. Thicknesses of socket joints are as shown in Table 6-2-2.

8-2-4. Diagnostic Procedure for Each Check Code (Outdoor Unit)
1) This section describes the diagnostic method for each check code displayed on the wired remote controller.
2) In some cases, a check code indicates multiple symptoms.
In this case, confirm LED display on the outdoor P.C. board to narrow the contents to be confirmed.
3) The check code on the wired remote controller is displayed only when the same error occurred continuously
by multiple times while LED of the outdoor P.C. board displays even an error which occurred once.
Therefore the display on the wired remote controller may differ from that of LED.

<Maintenance/Check list>
Aiming in environmental preservation, it is strictly recommended to clean and maintain the indoor/outdoor units
of the operating air conditioning system regularly to secure effective operation of the air conditioner.
It is also recommended to maintain the units once a year regularly when operating the air conditioner for a long
time.
Check periodically signs of rust or scratches, etc. on coating of the outdoor units.
Repair the defective position or apply the rust resisting paint if necessary.
If an indoor unit operates for approx. 8 hours or more per day, usually it is necessary to clean the indoor/
outdoor units once three months at least.
These cleaning and maintenance should be carried out by a qualified dealer.
Although the customer has to pay the charge for the maintenance, the life of the unit can be prolonged.
Failure to clean the indoor/outdoor units regularly will cause shortage of capacity, freezing, water leakage or
trouble on the compressor.

WARNINGS ON REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE
Check of Concentration Limit
The room in which the air conditioner is to be installed requires a design that in the event of refrigerant
gas leaking out, its concentration will not exceed a set limit.
The refrigerant R32 which is used in the air conditioner is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of
ammonia, and is not restricted by laws to be imposed which protect the ozone layer. However, since it contains
more than air, it poses the risk of suffocation if its concentration should rise excessively. Suffocation from
leakage of R32 is almost non-existent.
If a conditioner system is to be installed in a small room, select a suitable model and installation procedure so
that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks out, its concentration does not reach the limit (and in the event of an
emergency, measures can be made before injury can occur).
In a room where the concentration may exceed the limit, create an opening with adjacent rooms, or install
mechanical ventilation combined with a gas leak detection device.
