Precautions - Panasonic U-16GE2E5 Mode D'emploi

When Installing...
...In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit's
weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or
metal frame to provide added support.
...In a Room
Property insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
"sweating" that can cause dripping and water damage to
walls and fl oors.
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a
solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents
water damage and abnormal vibration.
...In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal
frame. Provide a suitable air baffl e.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than
drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Use the frame method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the
fl are and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten
the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Precautions

Using the level, please check that the installation of the outdoor unit is horizontal. If not, this may result in failure.
To operate the system, individual addresses must be set for the outdoor and indoor units.
The outdoor unit address must be set manually; however, the indoor unit addresses are set automatically for each refrigerant
system.
After the addresses are set, the indoor unit addresses must be checked in order to identify each indoor unit.
After the addresses have been checked, apply unit number labels to each indoor unit and outdoor unit. These will be neces-
sary for later maintenance.
Follow the procedure below and perform the work correctly.

Check the type of gas used for engine fuel.
If the wrong type of gas is supplied, the engine can suffer combustion problems, and there is the
danger of poisoning caused by exhaust gases.

When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains) before
opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wir-
ing.
• Keep your fi ngers and clothing away from any moving
parts.
• Clean up the site after you fi nish, remembering to check
that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside
the unit being serviced.
Others
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the
refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact
with fi re or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas.
• Confi rm upon completing installation that no refrigerant gas
is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a stove,
gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source,
it can produce dangerously toxic gas.
