In the case of an air conditioner using R410A, in order to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged accidentally, the service port diameter of the outdoor unit control valve (3 way valve) has been changed.

Changes
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.
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.
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.
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.
By increasing the clamp bar’s receiving hole, strength of spring in the tool has been improved.
Used when flare is made by using conventional flare tool.
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.
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.

How to attach the drain hose
Always use the original screw that secured the drain hose to the unit. If using a different screw may cause water to leak.
Insert the drain hose firmly until the connector contacts with the insulation, then secure it in place using the original screw.
CAUTION
Securely insert the drain hose and drain cap;
otherwise, water may leak.
In case of right or left piping
• After making slits on the front panel with a knife or similar tool, cut them out with a pair of nippers or an equivalent tool.
Fig. 10-3-15
Fig. 10-3-16
Left-hand connection with piping
Bend the connecting pipes so that they are posi- tioned within 43 mm above the wall surface.
If the connecting pipes are positioned more than 43 mm above the wall surface, the indoor unit may be unstable.
When bending the connecting pipe, make sure to use a spring bender to avoid crushing the pipe.
Refer to the table below for the bending radius of each connection pipe.
Fig. 10-3-17
NOTE :
If the pipe is incorrectly bent, the indoor unit may be unstable on the wall.
After passing the connecting pipe through the pipe hole, connect the connecting pipe to the auxiliary pipes and wrap the facing tape around them.
In case of bottom right or bottom left piping
• After making slits on the front panel with a knife or similar tool, cut them out with a pair of nippers or an equivalent tool.

• Carefully arrange the pipes so that none of the pipes stick out of the rear plate of the indoor unit.
• Carefully connect the auxiliary pipes and connecting pipes to each other and cut off the insulating tape wound on the connecting pipe to avoid double-taping at the joint, moreover, seal the joint with the vinyl tape, etc.
• Since condensation can result in machine performance trouble, be sure to insulate both connecting pipes. (Use polyethylene foam as insulating material.)
• When bending a pipe, be careful not to crush it.
10-3-6. Indoor Unit Installation
1. Pass the pipe through the hole in the wall, and hook the indoor unit on the installation plate at the upper hooks.
2. Swing the indoor unit to right and left to confirm that it is firmly hooked on the installation plate.
3. While pressing the indoor unit onto the wall, hook it at the lower part on the installation plate.
Pull the indoor unit toward you to confirm that it is firmly hooked on the installation plate.

10-3-7. Drainage
1. Run the drain hose at a downward sloped angle.
NOTE :
• Hole should be made at a slight downward slant on the outdoor side.
Fig. 10-3-21
2. Put water in the drain pan and make sure that the water is being drained outside.
3. When connecting extension drain hose, insulate the connection part of extension drain hose with shield pipe.
Fig. 10-3-22
CAUTION
Install the drain pipe for proper drainage.
Improper drainage can result in water dripping inside the room.
This air conditioner has been designed to drain water collected from condensation which forms on the back of the indoor unit, to the drain pan.
Therefore, do not locate the power cord and other parts at a high place than the drain guide.

10-4. Outdoor Unit
10-4-1. Installation Place• A place which provides enough space around the outdoor unit as shown in the diagram.
• A place which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and does not allow an increase in noise level and vibration.
• A place where the operation noise and discharged air do not disturb neighbors.
• A place which is not exposed to a strong wind.
• A place free of combustible gases.
• A place which does not block a passageway.
• When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an elevated position, be sure to secure its feet.
• This air conditioner accepts a connection piping length of up to 20 m.
• There is no need to add refrigerant as long as the length of the connection piping is 15 m or less.
• You will need to add 20 g of refrigerant per meter of added connection piping for installations requiring connection piping to be between 16 m to 20 m.
• An allowable height level is up to 10 m.
• A place where the drain water does not cause any problems.
Precautions for adding refrigerant
• Use a scale having a precision with at least 10 g per index line when adding the refrigerant.
Do not use a bathroom scale or similar instrument.
• Use liquid refrigerant when refilling the refrigerant.
Since the refrigerant is in liquid form, it can fill quickly.
Therefore, perform the filling operation carefully and insert the refrigerant gradually.
CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit without anything blocking the discharging air.
2. When the outdoor unit is installed in a place always exposed to strong winds like on the coast or on a high story of a building, secure the normal fan operation using a duct or a wind shield.
3. Especially in windy areas, install the unit to prevent the admission of wind.
4. Installation in the following places may result in trouble.
Do not install the unit in such places.
• A place full of machine oil.
• A saline-place such as the coast.
• A place full of sulfide gas.
• A place where high-frequency waves are likely to be generated, such as from audio equipment, welders, and medical equip- ment.

10-4-2. Draining the Water
• Holes are provided on the base plate of the outdoor unit to ensure that the defrost water produced during heating operations is drained off efficiently.
If a centralized drain is required when installing the unit on a balcony or wall, follow the steps below to drain off the water.
1. Proceed with water-proofing by installing the water-proof rubber caps
in the 2 elongated holes on the base plate of the outdoor unit. [How to install the water-proof rubber caps]1) Place four fingers into each cap, and insert the caps into the water drain holes by pushing them into place from the underside of the base plate.
2) Press down on the outer circumferences of the caps to ensure that they have been inserted tightly.
(Water leaks may result if the caps have not been inserted properly, if their outer circumfer- ences lift up or the caps catch on or wedge against something.)
Fig. 10-4-2
2. Install the drain nipple
and a commercially available drain hose (with 16 mm inside diam- eter), and drain off the water.(For the position where the drain nipple
isinstalled, refer to the installation diagram of the indoor and outdoor units.)
• Check that the outdoor unit is horizontal, and route the drain hose at a downward sloped angle while ensuring that it is connected tautly.
Do not use ordinary garden hose, but one can flatten and prevent water from draining.

10-4-3. Refrigerant Piping Connection Flaring
1. Cut the pipe with a pipe cutter.
Fig. 10-4-4
2. Insert a flare nut into the pipe, and flare the pipe.
• Projection margin in flaring : A (Unit : mm) Rigid (Clutch type)
