1 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

Ensure that all Local, National and International regulations are satisfied.

Read this “PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY” carefully before Installation.

The precautions described below include the important items regarding safety. Observe them without fail.

After the installation work, perform a trial operation to check for any problem.

Follow the Owner’s Manual to explain how to use and maintain the unit to the customer.

Turn off the main power supply switch (or breaker) before the unit maintenance.

Ask the customer to keep the Installation Manual together with the Owner’s Manual.

CAUTION

New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation

THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT DESTROY OZONE LAYER.

The characteristics of R410A refrigerant are ; easy to absorb water, oxidizing membrane or oil, and its pressure is approx. 1.6 times higher than that of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with the new refrigerant, refrigerating oil has also been changed. Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigerating oil does not enter the refrigerating cycle.

To prevent charging an incorrect refrigerant and refrigerating oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port of the main unit and installation tools are charged from those for the conventional refrigerant.

Accordingly the exclusive tools are required for the new refrigerant (R410A).

For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping designed for R410A, and please care so that water or dust does not enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are problems with pressure-resistance force and impurity in it.

CAUTION

To Disconnect the Appliance from Main Power Supply.

This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by means of a switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm.

The installation fuse (25A D type ) must be used for the power supply line of this conditioner.

WARNINGS

Ask an authorized dealer or qualified installation professional to install/maintain the air conditioner.

Inappropriate installation may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.

Turn off the main power supply switch or breaker before attempting any electrical work.

Make sure all power switches are off. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.

Connect the connecting cable correctly.

If the connecting cable is connected in a wrong way, electric parts may be damaged.

When moving the air conditioner for the installation into another place, be very careful not to enter any gaseous matter other than the specified refrigerant into the refrigeration cycle.

If air or any other gas is mixed in the refrigerant, the gas pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high and it may resultingly causes pipe burst and injuries on persons.

Do not modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or by by-passing any of the safety interlock switches.

Exposure of unit to water or other moisture before installation may cause a short-circuit of electrical parts.

Do not store it in a wet basement or expose to rain or water.

Toshiba R410A service manual Precautions for Safety

R410A specifications

Toshiba R410A is a highly regarded refrigerant known for its efficiency and environmental benefits. This hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) mixture is widely used in various air conditioning and refrigeration applications due to its excellent thermodynamic properties. One of the standout features of R410A is its superior energy efficiency, which contributes to lower energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions in HVAC systems.

One significant advantage of R410A over older refrigerants, such as R22, is its lower ozone depletion potential (ODP). R410A has an ODP of zero, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. This characteristic aligns with global initiatives aimed at protecting the ozone layer and promoting sustainable practices. The shift to R410A has been supported by government regulations in many countries, phasing out older, more harmful refrigerants.

Toshiba has incorporated advanced technologies in its R410A compatible products, enhancing performance and reliability. Among these technologies is the inverter technology that allows the compressor to operate at variable speeds. This functionality leads to improved temperature regulation, reduced noise levels, and further energy savings. Inverter systems provide precise control over the cooling and heating processes, allowing for a comfortable indoor environment while minimizing wastage of energy.

R410A also exhibits excellent heat transfer properties, which boosts cooling capacity. This feature makes it suitable for large-scale HVAC systems, including commercial and industrial applications. Its high-pressure characteristics enable the design of more compact and efficient components, allowing for smaller units and easier installation.

Furthermore, Toshiba's dedication to technological innovation is visible in its commitment to research and development. The company continuously strives to optimize systems that utilize R410A, focusing on reliability and longevity. This includes improved compressor designs, enhanced heat exchangers, and the integration of smart controls that adapt to the varying load conditions in real-time.

In terms of safety, R410A is classified as non-toxic and non-flammable under normal conditions, making it a safe choice for use in residential and commercial settings. However, it is important to note that R410A operates at higher pressures compared to traditional refrigerants, necessitating proper equipment design and handling procedures.

In conclusion, Toshiba R410A stands out in the market for its energy efficiency, environmental safety, and technological advancements. It is an ideal refrigerant for modern HVAC applications, contributing to both comfort and sustainability. As the industry continues to evolve, R410A remains a pivotal element in the quest for responsible and efficient refrigeration solutions.
