Safety Precautions; Before Installation (Relocation); Before Starting The Test Run; Using R410A Refrigerant Air Conditioners - Mitsubishi Electric Mr.SLIM PUHZ-ZRP HA Série Manuel D'installation

1. Safety precautions

1.2. Before installation (relocation)

Caution:
• Be extremely careful when transporting or installing the units. Two or
more persons are needed to handle the unit, as it weighs 20 kg or more.
Do not grasp the packaging bands. Wear protective gloves to remove the
unit from the packaging and to move it, as you can injure your hands on
the fins or the edge of other parts.
• Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging materials. Packaging materials,
such as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause stabs or other
injuries.
1.3. Before electric work
Caution:
• Be sure to install circuit breakers. If not installed, electric shock may re-
sult.
• For the power lines, use standard cables of sufficient capacity. Otherwise,
a short circuit, overheating, or fire may result.
• When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables. If the
connections are loosened, the cables can snap or break and overheating
or fire may result.

1.4. Before starting the test run

Caution:
• Turn on the main power switch more than 12 hours before starting opera-
tion. Starting operation just after turning on the power switch can severely
damage the internal parts. Keep the main power switch turned on during
the operation season.
• Before starting operation, check that all panels, guards and other protec-
tive parts are correctly installed. Rotating, hot, or high voltage parts can
cause injuries.
• Do not touch any switch with wet hands. Electric shock may result.

1.5. Using R410A refrigerant air conditioners

Caution:
• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless
pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Make sure the insides of the pipes
are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric
compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust. Use pipes with the specified thick-
ness. (Refer to 4.1.) Note the following if reusing existing pipes that carried
R22 refrigerant.
- Replace the existing flare nuts and flare the flared sections again.
- Do not use thin pipes. (Refer to 4.1.)
• Store the pipes to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends
of the pipes sealed until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc. in
their packaging.) If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, oil
deterioration or compressor breakdown may result.
• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration
oil applied to the flared sections. If mineral oil is mixed in the refrigeration
oil, oil deterioration may result.

2. Installation location

Fig. 2-1
• The base and attachments of the outdoor unit must be periodically
checked for looseness, cracks or other damage. If such defects are left un-
corrected, the unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.
• Do not clean the air conditioner unit with water. Electric shock may result.
• Tighten all flare nuts to specification using a torque wrench. If tightened
too much, the flare nut can break after an extended period and refrigerant
can leak out.
• Be sure to ground the unit. Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water
pipes, lightning rods, or telephone grounding lines. If the unit is not prop-
erly grounded, electric shock may result.
• Use circuit breakers (ground fault interrupter, isolating switch (+B fuse),
and molded case circuit breaker) with the specified capacity. If the circuit
breaker capacity is larger than the specified capacity, breakdown or fire
may result.
• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes with bare hands during operation. The
refrigerant pipes are hot or cold depending on the condition of the flowing
refrigerant. If you touch the pipes, burns or frostbite may result.
• After stopping operation, be sure to wait at least five minutes before turn-
ing off the main power switch. Otherwise, water leakage or breakdown may
result.
• Do not use refrigerant other than R410A refrigerant. If another refrigerant is
used, the chlorine will cause the oil to deteriorate.
• Use the following tools specifically designed for use with R410A refrigerant.
The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant. Contact your
nearest dealer for any questions.
Tools (for R410A)
Gauge manifold
Charge hose
Gas leak detector
Torque wrench
• Be sure to use the correct tools. If dust, debris, or moisture enters the re-
frigerant lines, refrigeration oil deterioration may result.
• Do not use a charging cylinder. If a charging cylinder is used, the composi-
tion of the refrigerant will change and the efficiency will be lowered.

► Check that the difference between the heights of the indoor and outdoor
units, the length of refrigerant pipe, and the number of bends in the pipe
are within the limits shown below.
