Connecting the assembly cable When you install the unit, make first refrigerant connections and then electrical connections. Connect the air conditioner to grounding system before performing the electrical connection. If unit is uninstalled, first disconnect electrical cables, then refrigerant connections. If the outdoor unit is more than 5 meters away from the indoor unit, you must extend the cable.
Installing and connecting the assembly pipe of the indoor unit Connect indoor and outdoor units with field-supplied copper pipes by means of flare connections. Use insulated seamless refrigeration grade pipe only, (Cu DHP type according to ISO1337), degreased and deoxidized, suitable for operating pressures of at least 4200 kPa and for burst pressure of at least 20700 kPa.
Evacuating the indoor unit The indoor unit is supplied with inert gas (nitrogen). Before installing the unit, check if nitrogen gas flows out of indoor unit. If this one isn’t true, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT since leakage could be inside the indoor unit. 1.

Evacuating the connected pipes The outdoor unit is loaded with sufficient R-410A refrigerant. Do not vent R-410A into atmosphere: it is a fluorinated greenhouse gas, covered by Kyoto Protocol, with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) = 2088. You should evacuate the air in the indoor unit and in the pipe. If air remains in the refrigerant pipes, it affects the compressor. It may cause reduction of cooling capacity and malfunction.
Evacuating the connected pipes Adding Refrigerant Add refrigerant charge according to table below: If you use a pipe longer than 5 m, Model ‘A’ g of refrigerant R-410A must be added for each extra meter. 12/18 If you use a pipe shorter than 5 m, The evacuating time is normal. Refer to the Service Manual for further details.
