Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant Important Information Regarding The Refrigerant Used
1. Care regarding tubing This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol. Do not vent gases into the atmosphere.
1-1. Process tubing Refrigerant type: R410A
● Material: Use seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper tube for refrigeration. Wall thickness shall comply with the applicable (1)
legislation. The minimal wall thickness must be in accordance with the table below. For tubes of ø22.22 or larger, use the material of GWP value: 1975
(1)
temper 1/2H or H (Hard copper tube). Do not bend the hard copper tube. GWP = global warming potential
● Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.
Periodical inspections for refrigerant leaks may be required depending on European or local legislation.
● Use a tube cutter when cutting the tubing, and be sure to remove any flash. This also applies to distribution joints (optional). Please contact your local dealer for more information.
● When bending tubing, use a bending radius that is 4 times the outer diameter of the tubing or larger.
Please fill in with indelible ink,
Use sufficient care in handling the tubing. Seal the tubing ends with caps or tape to prevent dirt,

1-2. Prevent impurities including water, dust and oxide from entering the tubing. Impurities can cause R410A refrigerant deterioration
and compressor defects. Due to the features of the refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil, the prevention of water and other
impurities becomes more important than ever. NJ

2. Be sure to recharge the refrigerant only in liquid form.
2-1. Since R410A is a non-azeotrope, recharging the refrigerant in gas form can lower performance and cause defects in the unit.
2-2. Since refrigerant composition changes and performance decreases when gas leaks, collect the remaining refrigerant and recharge NJ
the required total amount of new refrigerant after fixing the leak. 


3. Different tools required
3-1. Tool specifications have been changed due to the characteristics of R410A.

Although the connection is not made, confirmation is necessary for VRF systems.
• In the case of a refrigerant system, the terminating resistance (pin) for this inter-unit control wiring (S-LINK wiring) is one A: Model Name Various
location (See the section “7-4. Auto Address Setting”).
For 2 or more refrigerant systems, 2 locations should be valid (“SHORT” for VRF systems at shipment). See the section
“7-4. Auto Address Setting”.
B: Various
In order to make 2 locations valid, let the terminating resistance (pin) of the nearest outdoor unit and the farthest outdoor unit be C:
valid (SHORT side) from the location of central controller. D:
In other refrigerant systems excepting 2 locations described above, make them invalid (OPEN side).
It is prohibited making more than 3 locations of terminating resistance valid. Operating Spec. Area
• Since the use of linking the sub outdoor units of VRF systems is not connected to the inter-unit control wiring, it is not necessary Various (Not for the PED)
to make the terminating resistance invalid “OPEN side”.

Make final confirmation regarding the central controller or interface & inter-unit control wiring (S-LINK wiring) connected to the E: bar (MPa) Various
peripheral equipment. F: bar (MPa) Various
Measure the line resistance with a tester and check whether the values are in the range of 30: - 120:. G: NJ. Various
If the resistance values are out of range, check again the terminating resistance. Various (Not for the PED)
Nevertheless, if the values are out of range, the problem comes from wiring.
Megger
• Is the connection properly made? Various YYYY.MM
Line
• Are there any scratches or damages on the coated surface? (Wire)
• Measure the line, between wires and ground with the 500V megger (insulation
resistance meter) and check the values are over 100M:. (Wire)

• When measuring, be sure to remove both edges of the wire from the terminal board. Between wires and ground
If not removed, it will be damaged.
