1. Safety precautions
GB
1.1. Before installation and electric work
sBefore installing the unit, make sure you read all the “Safety precautions”.
sThe “Safety precautions” provide very important points re- garding safety. Make sure you follow them.
Symbols used in the text
Warning:
Describes precautions that should be observed to prevent danger of injury or death to the user.
Caution:
Describes precautions that should be observed to prevent damage to the unit.
Warning:
Carefully read the labels attached to the outdoor unit.
Warning:
•Ask the dealer or an authorized technician to install the air conditioner.
-Improper installation by the user may result in water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
•Install the unit at a place that can withstand its weight.
-Failure to do so may cause the unit to fall down, resulting in injuries and damage to the unit.
•Use the specified cables for wiring. Make the connections securely so that the outside force of the cable is not applied to the terminals.
-Inadequate connection and fastening may generate heat and cause a fire.
•Prepare for strong winds and earthquakes and install the unit at the speci- fied place.
-Improper installation may cause the unit to topple and result in injury and damage to the unit.
•When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, do not charge it with a refrigerant different from the refrigerant specified on the unit.
-If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrig- erant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be damaged.
•If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to prevent the refrigerant concentration from exceeding the safety limit if the refrigerant should leak.
-Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate measures to prevent the safety limit from being exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the safety limit to be exceeded, hazards due to lack of oxygen in the room could result.
•When moving and reinstalling the air conditioner, consult the dealer or an authorized technician.
-If the air conditioner is installed improperly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
•After completing installation work, make sure that refrigerant gas is not leaking.
-If the refrigerant gas leaks and is exposed to a fan heater, stove, oven, or other heat source, it may generate noxious gases.
•Do not reconstruct or change the settings of the protection devices.
-If the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protection device is shorted or operated forcibly, or parts other than those specified by Mitsubishi Electric are used, fire or explosion may result.
•To dispose of this product, consult your dealer.
•The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regulation or standards.
-Choose the appropriate wire size and the switch capacities for the main power supply described in this manual if local regulations are not available.
•Pay special attention to the place of installation, such as a basement, etc. where refrigeration gas can accumulate, since refrigerant is heavier than the air.
•For outdoor units that allow outside air intake to the indoor unit, the installation site must be carefully chosen to ensure only clean air can enter the room.
-Direct exposure to outdoor air may have harmful effects on people or food.
•Always use filters and other accessories specified by Mitsubishi Electric.
-Ask an authorized technician to install the accessories. Improper installation by the user may result in water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
•Never attempt to repair the unit without the proper qualifications. If the air conditioner must be repaired consult the dealer, contractor or qualified Refrigeration Engineer.
-If the unit is repaired improperly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
•Do not touch the heat exchanger fins.
-Improper handling may result in injury.
•If refrigerant gas leaks during installation work, ventilate the room.
-If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
•Install the air conditioner according to this Installation Manual.
-If the unit is installed improperly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
•Have all electric work done by a licensed electrician according to “Electric Facility Engineering Standard” and “Interior Wire Regulations” and the instructions given in this manual and always use a dedicated power supply.
-If the power source capacity is inadequate or electric work is performed im- properly, electric shock and fire may result.
•Securely install the outdoor unit terminal cover (panel).
-If the terminal cover (panel) is not installed properly, dust or water may enter the outdoor unit and fire or electric shock may result.
1.2.Precautions for devices that use R410A refrigerant
Caution:
•Do not use existing refrigerant piping.
-The old refrigerant and refrigerant oil in the existing piping contains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the refrigerant oil of the new unit to deteriorate.
-R410A is a
•Use refrigerant piping made of phosphorus deoxidized copper and cop- per alloy seamless pipes and tubes. In addition, be sure that the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes are clean and free of hazardous sulphur, oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils, moisture, or any other contami- nant.
-Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause the refriger- ant oil to deteriorate.
•Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of the piping sealed until just before brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in a plastic bag.)
-If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of the oil and compressor failure may result.
