Refrigerant sizes
Flare nuts and flaring
• The flare nuts and flaring are different from those for
the conventional refrigerant.
Use the flare nuts supplied with the air conditioner or
those for R410A.
• Before performing flaring, carefully read
“REFRIGERANT PIPING”
Insulation
Both lines need to be insulated. Use a minimum 0.4”
(10 mm) wall thickness.
Refrigerant charge
* Caution during addition of refrigerant
Max. amount of additional refrigerant is 1.8 lbs (800
g).
Charge the refrigerant accurately. Overcharging
may cause serious trouble with the compressor.
* Minimum refrigerant pipe is 16’5”(5 m).
This may cause a malfunction of the compressor or
other devices.
Metering Device is an electronic EXV (PMV) in
outdoor unit.
Connecting power and control
cables (Field supplied)
• The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The
field supplied connecting cables from the outdoor
unit to the indoor unit consist for 4 wires and provides
the power for the indoor unit as well as the
communication signal between the outdoor and
indoor unit.
