4. Evacuation
(1) Connect vacuum pump to gauge manifold. Connect charge hose of gauge manifold to a service port
of outdoor unit.
(2) Runthevacuumpumpforatleastonehourafterthevacuumgaugeshows-0.1MPa(–76cmHg).
(3) Confirmthatthevacuumgaugeindicatordoesnotriseevenifthesystemisleftfor15minutesormore.
Vacuum gauge indicator will rise if the system has moisture left inside or has a leakage point. Check
the system for the leakage point. If leakage point is found, repair it and return to (1) again.
(4) Close the Handle Lo and stop the vacuum pump.
Keep this state for a few minutes to make sure that the compound pressure gauge pointer does not
swing back.
(5) Remove valve caps from liquid operation valve and gas service valve.
(6)
(7)
Turn the liquid operation valve's rod 90 degree counterclockwise with a hexagonal wrench key to
open valve.
Close it after 5 seconds, and check for gas leakage.

5. ELECTRICAL WIRING WORK
WARNING
• Make sure that all the electrical work is carried out in accordance with the national or regional electri-
cal standards.
• Make sure that the earth leakage breaker and circuit breaker of appropriate capacities are installed
(Refer to the table given below).
•
Do not turn on the power until the electrical work is completed.
• Do not use a condensive capacitor for power factor improvement under any circumstances.
(It does not improve power factor. Moreover, it can cause an abnormal overheat accident).

ormore,conformedwith60245IEC57
When selecting the power source cable length, make sure that voltage drop is less than 2%.
If the wire length gets longer, increase the wire diameter.
(b) Connecting cable

,conformedwith60245IEC57
* 1 Earth wire is included (Yellow/Green).
(2) Arrange each wire length as shown below.
Make sure that each wire is stripped 10mm from the end.

2.Connecting cable
(1) Remove the service cover and the terminal cover.
(2) Connectthecablesaccordingtotheinstructionsandguresgivenbelow.
(a) Connect the earth wire of power source cable.
An earth wire must be connected before connecting the other wires of power source cable.
Keep the earth wire longer than the remaining two wires of power source cable.
(b) Connect the remaining two wires (N and L) of power source cable.
(c) Connect the wires of connecting cables. Make sure that for each wire, outdoor and indoor side ter-
minal numbers match. Terminal number A of the outdoor unit is used for A indoor unit and terminal
number B for B indoor unit respectively.
Earth wire shall be Yellow/Green (Y/G) in color and longer than other wires for safety reason.
(3) Fasten the cables properly with cable clamps so that no external force may work on terminal connec-
tions.
Moreover, make sure that cables do not touch the piping, etc. When cables are connected, make sure
that all electrical components within the electrical component box are free of loose connector coupling
or terminal connection.

NOTE
●
Make sure to match the piping and wiring from each unit to the outdoor unit.
●
Be careful because if connections are wrong, normal operation cannot be achieved and may damage the
compressor.

1. Heating and condensation prevention
(1) Dress the connecting pipes (both liquid and gas pipes) with insulation to prevent it from heating
and dew condensation.
Use the heat insulating material which can withstand 120°C or higher temperature. Make sure that
insulation is wrapped tightly around the pipes and no gap is left between them.
(2) Wrap the refrigerant pipings of indoor unit with indoor unit heat insulation using tape.
(3) Covertheare-connectedjoints(indoorside)withtheindoorunitheatinsulationandwrapitwith
an insulation pad (standard accessory provided with indoor unit).
(4) Wrap the connecting pipes, connecting cable and drain hose with the tape.

NOTE
Locationswhererelativehumidityexceeds70%,bothliquidandgaspipesneedtobedressed with20mm

CAUTION
• Improper insulation can cause condensate(water) formation during cooling operation.
Condensate can leak or drip causing damage to household property.
• Poor heat insulating capacity can cause pipe outer surface to reach high temperature during heating
operation. It can cause cable deterioration and personal injury.
2.Finishing work
(1) Make sure that the exterior portion of connecting pipes, connecting cable and drain hose is wrapped
properly with tape. Shape the connecting pipes to match with the contours of the pipe assembly route.
(2) Fix the pipe assembly with the wall using clamps and screws. Pipe assembly should be anchored ev-
ery 1.5m or less to isolate the vibration.
(3) Install the terminal cover and the service cover securely. Water may enter the unit if service cover is
not installed properly, resulting in unit malfunction and failure.
Screw
CAUTION
Make sure that the connecting pipes do not touch the components within the unit. If pipes touch the
internal components, it may generate abnormal sounds and/or vibrations.
7. PUMP DOWN
(1) Connect charge hose of gauge manifold to a service port of outdoor unit.
(2) Close the liquid operation valves for all connected indoor units with hexagonal wrench key.
(3) Fully open the gas operation valves with hexagonal wrench key.
(4) Carry out forced cooling operation for all connected indoor units (For forced cooling operation procedure,
refer to indoor unit installation manual).
(5) When the low pressure gauge becomes 0.01MPa, close the gas service valves and stop forced cooling
operation.
