7.2. Drainpipingwork
• Observe the following precautions when installing drain piping.
• Makesurethedrainpipinghasadownwardslopeofatleast1:100.
• To prevent the heat exchanger from being corroded and foul odor from being
emitted, do not place drain pipes in a drainage channel where sulfuric gas is
generated.
• Installdrainpipingsothattherearenoleaksfrompipingconnections.
• Adequately insulate the pipes to prevent condensation water from dripping.
- When running a drain hose in a ceiling where it is high in temperature and
humidity (dew-point temperature of 26 °C [79 °F] or higher) and operating
the units for a long time at a time, condensation may form on the drain
hose.Insulatethedrain hose or takeotherappropriatemeasurestopre-
vent condensation water from dripping.
• Insulate the drain pipe that runs through a room with commercially available
insulator (polyethylene foam with specific gravity of 0.03 and a minimum
thicknessof10mm[7/16in]).
1
When installing a unit on the top floor or in a high-temperature high-
humidityenvironment,useaninsulatorwith greater thickness than what
isspeciedabove.

drainedbylookingthroughthesightglassontheunitandcheckingtheexit

Precautionsfordrainpipinginstallation
• Makesurethedrainpipinghasadownwardslopeofatleast1:100(drainage
side down).
• Insulate the drain pipe with a commercially available insulator.
• Thehorizontalrunofdrainpipingmustbe20m[65ft]orshorter.
(Ifthepiperunislong,installpipesupportstokeepthepipingfromtwisting.)
Don'ts
• Do not install an air vent. (Drain water may spew out.)
• Donotmakeanupwardrunoratrapinthepiping.
Centralizeddrainagesystem
• Approximately 10 cm [3-15/16 in] below the drain water outlet.
• Use a VP30 pipe, and provide a downward slope of at least 1:100.

1. Insert the drain hose (accessory) into the drain port (insertion margin: 25 mm
[1 in]).
(The drain hose must not be bent more than 45° to prevent the hose from
breakingorclogging.)

1. Remove the maintenance panel.
2. Pour 1000 cc of clean water into the drain pan.
Note: Ifusingapumptosupplywater,adjustthewaterowrateto0.4L/min
or slower by adjusting the valve. Supplying water at a faster rate may
causewaterleakagefromindoorunitsordamagethedrainpump.
3. Operate the units in the emergency mode, add clean water as necessary,

To operate the units in the emergency mode, disconnect the connector from
the OFF side of SWE on the control board in the control box. Then, connect
it to the ON side to supply power and simultaneously operate the drain pump
and the fan.

8.Ductwork
• When connecting ducts, insert a canvas duct between the main body and the
duct.
• Use non-combustible duct components.
• Install sufcient thermal insulation toprevent condensation forming onair
inletandairoutletductanges,andairoutletducts.
