Refrigerant Piping Connection
Flaring
1. Cut the pipe with a pipe cutter.

Tightening connection
Align the centers of the connecting pipes and tighten the fl are nut as far as
possible with your fi ngers. Then tighten the nut with a spanner and torque
wrench as shown in the fi gure.

Do not apply excess torque. Otherwise, the nut may crack depending on
the conditions.

• Tightening torque for connection of fl are pipe
The pressure of R410A is higher than
R22. (Approx. 1.6 times.) Therefore
securely tighten the fl are pipes which
connect the outdoor unit and the
indoor unit with the specifi ed tightening
torque using a torque wrench. If any
fl are pipe is incorrectly connected, it
may cause not only a gas leakage but
also trouble in the refrigeration cycle.
Evacuating
After the piping has been connected to the indoor unit, you can perform
vacuuming together at once.
VACUUMING
Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the indoor unit using a
vacuum pump. Do not use the refrigerant in the outdoor unit. For details,
see the manual of the vacuum pump.
Using a vacuum pump
Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-fl ow prevention function so
that inside oil of the pump does not fl ow backward into pipes of the air
conditioner when the pump stops.
(If oil inside of the vacuum pump enters the air conditioner, which use
R410A, refrigeration cycle trouble may happen.)

1. Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve to the service port of
the packed valve at gas side.
2. Connect the charge hose to the port of the vacuum pump.
3. Open fully the low pressure side handle of the gauge manifold valve.
4. Operate the vacuum pump to start evacuating. Perform evacuating for
about 15 minutes if the piping length is 20 meters. (15 minutes for 20
meters) (assuming a pump capacity of 27 liters per minute) Then confi rm
that the compound pressure gauge reading is –101 kPa (–76 cmHg).
5. Close the low pressure side valve handle of the gauge manifold valve.
6. Open fully the valve stem of the packed valves (both gas and liquid sides).
7. Remove the charging hose from the service port.
8. Securely tighten the caps on the packed valves.

CAUTION
• KEEP IMPORTANT 5 POINTS FOR PIPING WORK.
(1) Take away dust and moisture (inside of the connecting pipes).
(2) Tighten the connections (between pipes and unit).
(3) Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using a VACUUM PUMP.
(4) Check gas leak (connected points).
(5) Be sure to fully open the packed valves before operation.
Packed valve handling precautions
• Open the valve stem all the way out, but do not try to open it beyond the
stopper.

Wiring Connection
1. Remove the valve cover, the electric parts cover and the cord clamp from
the outdoor unit.
2. Connect the connecting cable to the terminal as identifi ed by the
matching numbers on the terminal block of indoor and outdoor unit.
3. Insert the power cord and the connecting cable fully into the terminal
block and secure it tightly with screws.
4. Use vinyl tape, etc. to insulate the cords which are not going to be used.
Locate them so that they do not touch any electrical or metal parts.
5. Secure the power cord and the connecting cable with the cord clamp.
6. Attach the electric parts cover and the valve cover on the outdoor unit.
