● Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.
● Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.
●
Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
●
This product is intended for professional use.
Permission from the power supplier is required when installing an outdoor unit that is connected to a 16 A distribution network.
●
Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices given in this manual.
WARNING
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in personal injury or product or property damage.
If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or your certified dealer for additional instructions.
In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation or maintenance service, including failure to follow the instructions in this document.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED
ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO
WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing…
…In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to walls and floors.
…In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.
…In an area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
…In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Ventilate the room well, in the event that is refrigerant gas leaks during the installation. Be careful not to allow contact of the refrigerant gas with a flame as this will cause the generation of poisonous gas.
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
NOTE
Depending on the system type, liquid and gas lines may be either narrow or wide. Therefore, to avoid confusion the refrigerant tubing for your particular model is speci-fied as either “narrow” or “wide” than as “liquid” or “gas.”
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains) before opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced.
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the
CAUTION refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas.
• Confirm after installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If the gas comes in contact with a burning stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can cause the generation of poisonous gas.

Check of Density Limit
The room in which the air conditioner is to be installed requires a design that in the event of refrigerant gas leaking out, its density will not exceed a set limit.
The refrigerant (R410A), which is used in the air conditioner, is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of ammonia, and is not restricted by laws imposed to protect the ozone layer. However, since it contains more than air, it poses the risk of suffocation if its density should rise excessively. Suffocation from leakage of refrigerant is almost non-existent. With the recent increase in the number of high density buildings, however, the installation of multi air conditioner systems is on the increase because of the need for effective use of floor space, individual control, energy conservation by curtailing heat and carrying power, etc.
Most importantly, the multi air conditioner system is able to replenish a large amount of refrigerant compared to conventional individual air conditioners. If a single unit of the multi air conditioner system is to be installed in a small room, select a suitable model and installation procedure so that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks out, its density does not reach the limit
(and in the event of an emergency, measures can be made before injury can occur).
In a room where the density may exceed the limit, create an opening with adjacent rooms, or install mechanical ventilation combined with a gas leak detection device. The density is as given below.
Total amount of refrigerant (kg)
Min. volume of the indoor unit installed room (m 3 )
≤ Density limit (kg/m 3 )
The density limit of refrigerant which is used in multi air conditioners is 0.3 kg/m 3 (ISO 5149).
NOTE
1. If there are 2 or more refrigerating systems in a single refrigerating device, the amount of refrigerant should be as charged in each independent device.
For the amount of charge in this example:
Outdoor unit e.g., charged amount (10 kg) e.g., charged amount (15 kg)
Indoor unit
Room A Room B Room C Room D Room E Room F
The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in rooms
A, B and C is 10 kg.
The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in rooms
D, E and F is 15 kg.
2. The standards for minimum room volume are as follows.
(1) No partition (shaded portion)
(2) When there is an effective opening with the adjacent room for ventilation of leaking refrigerant gas
(opening without a door, or an opening 0.15% or larger than the respective floor spaces at the top or bottom of the door).
Outdoor unit
Refrigerant tubing
Indoor unit
(3) If an indoor unit is installed in each partitioned room and the refrigerant tubing is interconnected, the smallest room of course becomes the object.
But when mechanical ventilation is installed interlocked with a gas leakage detector in the smallest room where the density limit is exceeded, the volume of the next smallest room becomes the object.

Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant
1. Care regarding tubing
1-1. Process tubing
● Material: Use C1220 phosphorous deoxidized copper specified in JIS H3300 “Copper and Copper Alloy Seamless Pipes and Tubes.”
For tubes of
φ
19.05 or larger, use C1220 T-1/2H material or H material, and do not bend the tubes.
● Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.
●
●
Use a tube cutter when cutting the tubing, and be sure to remove any flash. This also applies to distribution joints (optional).
When bending tubing
φ
15.88 or smaller, use a bending radius that is 4 times the outer diameter of the tubing or larger.
CAUTION
Use sufficient care in handling the tubing. Seal the tubing ends with caps or tape to prevent dirt, moisture, or other foreign substances from entering. These substances can result in system malfunction.

1-2. Prevent impurities including water, dust and oxide from entering the tubing. Impurities can cause R410A refrigerant deterioration and compressor defects. Due to the features of the refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil, the prevention of water and other impurities becomes more important than ever.
2. Be sure to recharge the refrigerant only in liquid form.
2-1. Since R410A is a non-azeotrope, recharging the refrigerant in gas form can lower performance and cause defects of the unit.
2-2. Since refrigerant composition changes and performance decreases when gas leaks, collect the remaining refrigerant and recharge the required total amount of new refrigerant after fixing the leak.
3. Different tools required
3-1. Tool specifications have been changed due to the characteristics of R410A.
Some tools for R22- and R407C-type refrigerant systems cannot be used.
Item tool compatible with R410A
Manifold gauge Yes No
Charge hose Yes No
Vacuum pump Yes Yes
Leak detector Yes No
Flaring oil Yes No
Types of refrigerant, refrigerating machine oil, and pressure gauge are different.
To resist higher pressure, material must be changed.
Use a conventional vacuum pump if it is equipped with a check valve. If it has no check valve, purchase and attach a vacuum pump adapter.
Leak detectors for CFC and HCFC that react to chlorine do not function because
R410A contains no chlorine. Leak detector for HFC134a can be used for R410A.
For systems that use R22, apply mineral oil (Suniso oil) to the flare nuts on the tubing to prevent refrigerant leakage. For machines that use R407C or R410A, apply synthetic oil (ether oil) to the flare nuts.
* Using tools for R22 and R407C and new tools for R410A together can cause defects.

3-2. Use R410A exclusive cylinder only.
Single-outlet valve
(with siphon tube)
Liquid refrigerant should be recharged with the cylinder standing on end as shown.
New refrigerant R410A cannot be used for earlier models.
1. Compressor specifications are different.
If recharging a R22 or R407C compressor with
R410A, durability will significantly decrease since some of the materials used for compressor parts are different.
2. Existing tubing cannot be used (especially R22).
Completely cleaning out residual refrigerating machine oil is impossible, even by flushing.
3. Refrigerating machine oil differs (R22).
Since R22 refrigerating machine oil is mineral oil, it does not dissolve in R410A. Therefore, refrigerating machine oil discharged from the compressor can cause compressor damage.

NOTE
1: The tubing size (LO1, LO2) connecting the outdoor units to one another is decided by the total capacity of the outdoor units connected at tubing ends. The LO1 tubing size is determined by the total capacity of the 3 sub units B, C, and D, which are connected after main unit A. The LO2 tubing size is determined by the total capacity of sub units C and D, which are connected after sub unit B. Refer to Table 1-11a.
2: If the maximum tubing length (L1) exceeds 90 m (or equivalent length), increase the size of both the narrow and wide main tubing (LM) by 1 step. However, the maximum wide tubing size is
φ
38.1. In addition, it is not necessary to increase the tubing sizes in the case of a 6-horsepower system. (Tubing reducers must be obtained in the field.)
16
04-396 Inverter-W_a-p50 ARGO 12/21/04 9:38 AM Page 17
WARNING
Always check the gas density limit for the room in which the unit is installed.
1-11. Check of Limit Density
When installing an air conditioner in a room, it is necessary to ensure that even if the refrigerant gas accidentally leaks out, its density does not exceed the limit level for that room.
If the density could exceed the limit level, it is necessary to provide an opening between the unit and the adjacent room, or to install mechanical ventilation which is interlocked with the leak detector.
(Total refrigerant charged amount: kg)
(Min. indoor volume where the indoor unit is installed: m 3 )
≤
Limit density 0.3 (kg/m 3 )
The limit density of refrigerant which is used in this unit is 0.3 kg/m 3 (ISO 5149).
The shipped outdoor unit comes charged with the amount of refrigerant fixed for each type, so add it to the amount that is charged in the field. (For the refrigerant charge amount at shipment, refer to the unit’s nameplate.)
CAUTION
Pay special attention to any location, such as a basement, etc., where leaking refrigerant can accumulate, since refrigerant gas is heavier than air.
1-12. Installing Distribution Joint
(1) Refer to “HOW TO ATTACH DISTRIBUTION
JOINT” enclosed with the optional distribution joint kit (DDVE135, DDVE68, DDVI135, DDVI68,
DDVI16).
(2) In order to prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in stopped units, if the main tubing is horizontal then each branch tubing length should be at an angle that is greater than horizontal. If the main tubing is vertical, provide a raised starting portion for each branch.
(3) If there are height differences between indoor units or if branch tubing that follows a distribution joint is connected to only 1 unit, a trap or ball valve must be added to that distribution joint. (When adding the ball valve, locate it within 40 cm of the distribution joint.)
(Consult with ARGO separately concerning the ball valve.)
If a trap or ball valve is not added, do not operate the system before repairs to a malfunctioning unit are completed. (The refrigerant oil sent through the tubing to the malfunctioning unit will accumulate and may damage the compressor.)

2. Flare nut tightening, welding plug
The flare nut on the service port side is fully tightened. In the case of the welded type, a plug is welded in place.
If the valve is used for extension, it can be used as-is. In all other cases, use 2 monkey wrenches in combination to loosen the flare nut. In the case of the brazed type, heat with a brazing torch and remove the plug. At this time, use a damp shopcloth or other means to cool the brazed-type ball valve unit while using the torch.
When performing brazing, be sure to replace the air in the tubing with nitrogen in order to prevent the formation of oxide film.

4. Installing thermal insulation
The thermal insulation used for a flare-nut type valve is in the form of a bag. When the valve is used for extension, it can be used as-is. If the valve is used for any other purpose, use a box cutter or similar tool to cut away the part shown in the figure at right.
The insulation is divided into 2 parts. After performing the leak test, use vinyl tape or other means to temporarily fasten the 2 parts together.
Then carry out final finishing.

2. Installation requirements
• Be sure to install the ball valve up-grade to prevent the inadvertent flow of oil.
• Install the ball valve at the shortest distance (within 40 cm) from the main tube. If the diameter of the ball valve is smaller than that of the main tube, use a reducer or the like to reduce the size of the tubing at that location.
• Select a place where it is easy to operate, using careful consideration of the location in advance.
(2) When adding ball valve for outdoor unit
1. Location: Install the ball valve at the main tube of the distribution joint.

● Charging procedure
Be sure to charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form.
1. After performing a vacuum, charge with refrigerant from the narrow tubing side. At this time, all valves must be in the “fully closed” position.
2. If it was not possible to charge the designated amount, operate the system in Cooling mode while charging with refrigerant from the wide tubing side. (This is performed at the time of the test run. For this, all valves must be in the “fully open” position.)
Charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form.
With R410A refrigerant, charge while adjusting the amount being fed a little at a time in order to prevent liquid refrigerant from backing up.
● After charging is completed, turn all valves to the “fully open” position.
● Replace the tubing covers as they were before.
CAUTION
1. R410A additional charging absolutely must be done through liquid charging.
2. The R410A refrigerant cylinder has a gray base color, and the top part is pink.
3. The R410A refrigerant cylinder includes a siphon tube. Check that the siphon tube is present. (This is indicated on the label at the top of the cylinder.)
4. Due to differences in the refrigerant, pressure, and refrigerant oil involved in installation, it is not possible in some cases to use the same tools for R22 and for R410A.

CAUTION
Be sure to check the limit density for the room in which the indoor unit is installed.
Checking of limit density
Density limit is determined on the basis of the size of a room using an indoor unit of minimum capacity. For instance, when an indoor unit is used in a room (floor area 15 m 3
× ceiling height 2.7 m = room volume 40.5
m 3 ), the graph at right shows that the minimum room volume should be 70.3 m 3 (floor area 26 m 2 ) for refrigerant of 21.093 kg. Accordingly, openings such as louvers are required for this room.
<Determination by calculation>
Overall refrigerant charge amount for the air conditioner: kg
(Minimum room volume for indoor unit: m 3 )
=
21.093 (kg)
40.5 (m 3 )
= 0.52 (kg/m 3 ) ≥ 0.3 (kg/m 3 )
Therefore, openings such as louvers are required for this room.

2. SELECTING THE INSTALLATION SITE
2-1. Indoor Unit
AVOID:
● areas where leakage of flammable gas may be expected.
● places where large amounts of oil mist exist.
● direct sunlight.
● locations near heat sources which may affect the performance of the unit.
● locations where external air may enter the room directly. This may cause “sweating” on the air discharge ports, causing them to spray or drip.
● locations where the remote controller will be splashed with water or affected by dampness or humidity.
● installing the remote controller behind curtains or furniture.
● locations where high-frequency emissions are generated.
DO:
● select an appropriate position from which every corner of the room can be uniformly cooled.
● select a location where the ceiling is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
● select a location where tubing and drain pipe have the shortest run to the outdoor unit.
● allow room for operation and maintenance as well as unrestricted air flow around the unit.
● install the unit within the maximum elevation difference above or below the outdoor unit and within a total tubing length (L) from the outdoor unit as detailed in Table 1-20.
● allow room for mounting the remote controller about
1m off the floor, in an area that is not in direct sunlight nor in the flow of cool air from the indoor unit.
NOTE
Air delivery will be degraded if the distance from the floor to the ceiling is greater than 3 m (for ASBS type, greater than 3.5 m).

2-3. Shield for Horizontal Exhaust Discharge
It is necessary to install an air-discharge chamber
(field supply) to direct exhaust from the fan horizontally if it is difficult to provide a minimum space of 2 m between the air-discharge outlet and a nearby obstacle. (Fig. 2-9)
CAUTION
In regions with heavy snowfall, the outdoor unit should be provided with a solid, raised platform and snowproof vents. (Fig. 2-10)
2-4. Installing the Outdoor Unit in Heavy Snow
Areas
In locations where wind-blown snow can be a problem, snow-proof vents should be fitted to the unit and direct exposure to the wind should be avoided as much as possible. (Fig. 2-11) The following problems may occur if proper countermeasures are not taken:
● The fan in the outdoor unit may stop running, causing the unit to be damaged.
● There may be no air flow.
● The tubing may freeze and burst.
● The condenser pressure may drop because of strong wind, and the indoor unit may freeze.
2-5. Precautions When Installing in Heavy Snow
Areas a) The platform should be higher than the maximum snow depth. (Fig. 2-10) b) The 2 anchoring feet of the outdoor unit should be used for the platform, and the platform should be installed beneath the air-intake side of the outdoor unit.
c) The platform foundation must be solid and the unit must be secured with anchor bolts.
d) When installing on a roof subject to strong wind, countermeasures must be taken to prevent the unit from being overturned.

3. HOW TO INSTALL THE INDOOR UNIT
■ 1-Way Air Discharge Semi-Concealed Type
(AS1S Type)
3-1. Suspending the Indoor Unit
(1) Follow the diagrams to make the holes in the ceiling. (Figs. 3-1 and 3-2)
(2) Depending on the ceiling type:
● Insert suspension bolts as shown in Fig. 3-3 or
● Use existing ceiling supports or construct a suitable support as shown in Fig. 3-4.
WARNING
It is important that you use extreme care in supporting the indoor unit from the ceiling. Ensure that the ceiling is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
Before hanging the unit, test the strength of each attached suspension bolt.
(3) Cut the ceiling material, if necessary.

If the system requires fresh air to be drawn into the unit, cut and remove the insulation (both externally and internally) at the location shown as A in Fig. 3-5.
CAUTION
When making the cuts to the insulation, be careful not to damage the drain pan.
3-2. Placing the Unit Inside the Ceiling
(1) When placing the unit inside the ceiling, determine the pitch of the suspension bolts.
Tubing must be laid and connected inside the ceiling when suspending the unit. If the ceiling is already constructed, lay the tubing into position for connection to the unit before placing the unit inside the ceiling.
(2) Thread the 3 hexagonal nuts and 2 washers (field supply) onto each of the the 4 suspension bolts as shown in Fig. 3-6. Use 1 nut and 1 washer for the upper side, and 2 nuts and 1 washer for the lower side, so that the unit will not fall off the suspension lugs.
(3) The distance between the unit and the opening of the ceiling and the distance between the bottom surface of the ceiling and the bottom surface of the flange of the unit should follow the dimensions given in Figs. 3-7 and 3-8.

(4) Adjust the distance between the unit and the opening in the ceiling to give clearances of 15 mm in the front and back directions and 70 mm in the right and left directions so that the height between the bottom surface of the flange of the unit and the bottom surface of the ceiling is 37 mm, and the air-intake side is 5 mm. To check these dimensions for positioning the unit, use the installation gauge which is taped on the unit. (Fig. 3-9)
(5) Confirm all clearances with the installation gauge as follows:
● Between each side of the unit and the opening of the ceiling:
15 mm
70 mm
● Between bottom of unit flange and ceiling material:
5 mm (2 corners)
37 mm (2 corners)
Improper clearance can lead to poor mounting of the ceiling panel, causing condensation and dripping.
(Fig. 3-9)
3-3. Installing the Drain Piping
(1) Prepare standard hard PVC pipe (O.D. 32 mm) for the drain and use the supplied drain hose and hose band to prevent water leaks.
The PVC pipe must be purchased separately. The unit’s transparent drain port allows you to check drainage. (Fig. 3-10)
CAUTION
● Do not use adhesive at the drain connection port on the indoor unit.
● Insert the drain pipe until it contacts the socket, as shown in the figure at right, then secure it tightly with the hose band.
● Tighten the hose clamps so their locking nuts face upward. (Fig. 3-10)
● Do not use the supplied drain hose bent at a 90° angle. (The maximum permissible bend is 45°.)
(2) After checking the drainage, wrap the supplied packing and drain pipe insulator around the pipe, then secure it with the supplied clamps. (Fig. 3-11)
NOTE
Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient
(1/100 or more) and that there are no water traps.

● Do not install an air bleeder as this may cause water to spray from the drain pipe outlet.
(Fig. 3-12)
● If it is necessary to increase the height of the drain pipe, the section directly after the connection port can be raised a maximum of 50 cm. Do not raise it any higher than 50 cm, as this could result in water leaks. (Fig. 3-13)
● Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient from the connection port. This will cause the drain water to flow backward and leak when the unit is not operating. (Fig. 3-14)
● Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when connecting the drain pipe. The pipe should not be allowed to hang unsupported from its connection to the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame, or other support as close to the unit as possible. (Fig. 3-15)
● Provide insulation for any pipes that are run indoors.

3-4. Checking the Drainage
After wiring and drain piping are completed, use the following procedure to check that the water will drain smoothly. For this, prepare a bucket and wiping cloth to catch and wipe up spilled water.
(1) Connect power to the power terminal board (R, S terminals) inside the electrical component box.
(2) Pour water into the drain pan about 500 cc using a siphon pump through the air outlet grille.
(Fig. 3-16)
(3) Short the check pin (CHK) on the indoor control board and operate the drain pump. Check the water flow through the transparent drain pipe and see if there is any leakage.
CAUTION
Be careful since the fan will start when you short the pin on the indoor control board.
(4) When the drainage check is complete, open the check pin (CHK) and remount the insulator.
CAUTION
The bottom drain port is for use only during test runs and servicing inspections.
Do not connect the drain pipe to the bottom drain port.

3-16. Installing the Drain Piping
(1) Prepare a standard hard PVC pipe (O.D. 32 mm) for the drain and use the supplied drain hose and hose band to prevent water leaks.
The PVC pipe must be purchased separately. The unit’s transparent drain port allows you to check drainage. (Fig. 3-53)
CAUTION
● Insert the drain pipe until it contacts the socket, as shown in Fig. 3-53, then secure it tightly with the hose band.
● Do not use adhesive when connecting the supplied hose.
Reasons: 1. It may cause water to leak from the connection. Since the connection is slippery just after the adhesive has been applied, the pipe easily slips off.
2. The pipe cannot be removed when maintenance is needed.
● Do not bend the supplied drain hose 90° or more. The hose may slip off.
● Align the hose bands with the end of the hose.
Tighten the hose band firmly. Please make sure that the bead is not covered by the hose band.
(Fig. 3-53)
(2) After checking the drainage, wrap the supplied packing and drain pipe insulator around the pipe.
(Fig. 3-54)
CAUTION
Tighten the hose clamps so their locking nuts face upward. (Fig. 3-53)
NOTE
Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient
(1/100 or more) and that there are no water traps.
CAUTION
● Do not install an air bleeder as this may cause water to spray from the drain pipe outlet. (Fig. 3-55)

CAUTION
● If it is necessary to increase the height of the drain pipe, the section directly after the connection port can be raised a maximum of 64 cm. Do not raise it any higher than 64 cm, as this could result in water leaks. (Fig. 3-56)
● Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient from the connection port. This will cause the drain water to flow backward and leak when the unit is not operating.
(Fig. 3-57)
● Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when connecting the drain pipe. The pipe should not be allowed to hang unsupported from its connection to the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame, or other support as close to the unit as possible. (Fig. 3-58)
● Provide insulation for any pipes that are run indoors.
3-17. Checking the Drainage
After wiring and drain piping are completed, use the following procedure to check that the water will drain smoothly. For this, prepare a bucket and wiping cloth to catch and wipe up spilled water.
(1) Connect power to the power terminal board (R, S terminals) inside the electrical component box.
(2) Slowly pour about 1,200 cc of water into the drain pan to check drainage. (Fig. 3-59)
(3) Short the check pin (CHK) on the indoor control board and operate the drain pump. Check the water flow through the transparent drain pipe and see if there is any leakage.
(4) When the check of drainage is complete, open the check pin (CHK) and remount the tube cover.

3-31. Suspending the Indoor Unit
Depending on the ceiling type:
• Insert suspension bolts as shown in Fig. 3-100 or
• Use existing ceiling supports or construct a suitable support as shown in Fig. 3-101.
WARNING
It is important that you use extreme care in supporting the indoor unit inside the ceiling. Ensure that the ceiling is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
Before hanging the unit, test the strength of each attached suspension bolt.
(1) When placing the unit inside the ceiling, determine the pitch of the suspension bolts referring to the dimensional data on the previous page. (Fig. 3-98 and Table 3-5)
Tubing must be laid and connected inside the ceiling when suspending the unit. If the ceiling is already constructed, lay the tubing into position for connection to the unit before placing the unit inside the ceiling.
(2) Screw in the suspension bolts allowing them to protrude from the ceiling as shown in Fig. 3-100.
(Cut the ceiling material, if necessary.)
(3) Thread the 3 hexagonal nuts and 2 washers (field supply) onto each of the 4 suspension bolts as shown in Figs. 3-102 and 3-103. Use 1 nut and 1 washer for the upper part, and 2 nuts and 1 washer for the lower part, so that the unit will not fall off the suspension lugs.

3-32. Installing the Drain Piping
(1) Prepare standard hard PVC pipe (O.D. 32 mm) for the drain and use the supplied hose band to prevent water leaks.
The PVC pipe must be purchased separately.
The transparent drain part on the unit allows you to check drainage. (Fig. 3-105a)
CAUTION
●
●
●
●
Do not use adhesive at the drain connection port on the indoor unit.
Insert the drain pipe until it contacts the socket, as shown in the figure at right, then secure it tightly with the hose band.
Do not use the supplied drain hose bent at a 90° angle. (The maximum permissible bend is 45°.)
Tighten the hose clamps so their locking nuts face upward. (FIg. 3-105a)
Align the hose band with end of the hose, and tighten so that it does not contact the bead.

04-396 InverterW_p51-108 ARGO 12/21/04 10:17 AM Page 65
CAUTION
● Do not install an air bleeder as this may cause water to spray from the drain pipe outlet. (Fig. 3-106)
● If it is necessary to increase the height of the drain pipe, the section directly after the connection port can be raised a maximum of 50 cm. Do not raise it any higher than 50 cm, as this could result in water leaks. (Fig. 3-107)
● Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient from the connection port. This will cause the drain water to flow backward and leak when the unit is not operating. (Fig. 3-108)
● Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when connecting the drain pipe. The pipe should not be allowed to hang unsupported from its connection to the unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame, or other support as close to the unit as possible.
(Fig. 3-109)
3-33. Checking the Drainage
After wiring and drain piping are completed, use the following procedure to check that the water will drain smoothly. For this, prepare a bucket and wiping cloth to catch and wipe up spilled water.
(1) Connect power to the power terminal board (R, S terminals) inside the electrical component box.
(2) Remove the tube cover and through the opening, slowly pour about 1,200 cc of water into the drain pan to check drainage.
(3) Short the check pin (CHK) on the indoor control board and operate the drain pump. Check the water flow through the transparent drain port and see if there is any leakage.
CAUTION
Be careful since the fan will start when you short the pin on the indoor control board.
(4) When the check of drainage is complete, open the check pin (CHK) and remount the insulator and drain cap onto the drain inspection port.

3-34. Increasing the Fan Speed
If external static pressure is too great (due to long extension of ducts, for example), the air flow volume may drop too low at each air outlet. This problem may be solved by increasing the fan speed using the following procedure:
(1) Remove 4 screws on the electrical component box and remove the cover plate.
(2) Disconnect the fan motor sockets in the box.
(3) Take out the booster cable (sockets at both ends) clamped in the box.
(4) Securely connect the booster cable sockets between the disconnected fan motor sockets in step 2 as shown in Fig. 3-111.
(5) Place the cable neatly in the box and reinstall the cover plate.

■ How to read the diagram
The vertical axis is the external static pressure (Pa) while the horizontal axis represents the air flow (m 3 /minute).
The characteristic curves for “HT,” “H,” “M” and “L” fan speed control are shown. The nameplate values are shown based on the “H” air flow. For the 73 type, the air flow is 18 m 3 /minute, while the external static pressure is 49 Pa at
“H” position. If external static pressure is too great (due to long extension of ducts, for example), the air flow volume may drop too low at each air outlet. This problem may be solved by increasing the fan speed as explained above.

3-40. Caution for Ducting Work
● This unit has high static pressure (applicable external static pressure Max. 167 to 216 pa (17–22 mm Aq).
In the case of small pressure resistance (for instance, a short duct), install a damper for adjusting air flow volume as air flow volume / air flow noise increases.
● If the air conditioner is to be installed in a room such as an office or meeting room which needs a low sound level, provide a supply and return noise absorption chamber with an acoustic liner.
● Include an air filter (field supply) at the return duct.

How to Read the Diagram
The vertical axis is the External Static Pressure (mmAq) while the horizontal axis represents the Air Flow
(m 3 /minute). The characteristic curve for the “H,” “Med,” and “Lo” fan speed control.
The nameplate values are shown based on the “H” air flow. Therefore in the case of 73 Type, the flow is
23 m 3 /minute, while the External Static Pressure is 19 mmAq at “H” position. If the external static pressure is too great (due to long extension of duct, for example), the air flow volume may drop too low at each air outlet.

5. ELECTRICAL WIRING
5-1. General Precautions on Wiring
(1) Before wiring, confirm the rated voltage of the unit as shown on its nameplate, then carry out the wiring closely following the wiring diagram.
(2) Provide a power outlet to be used exclusively for each unit, and a power supply disconnect and circuit breaker for overcurrent protection should be provided in the exclusive line.
(3) To prevent possible hazards from insulation failure, the unit must be grounded.
(4) Each wiring connection must be done in accordance with the wiring system diagram. Wrong wiring may cause the unit to misoperate or become damaged.
(5) Do not allow wiring to touch the refrigerant tubing, compressor, or any moving parts of the fan.
(6) Unauthorized changes in the internal wiring can be very dangerous. The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any damage or misoperation that occurs as a result of such unauthorized changes.
(7) Regulations on wire diameters differ from locality to locality. For field wiring rules, please refer to your LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES before beginning.
You must ensure that installation complies with all relevant rules and regulations.
(8) To prevent malfunction of the air conditioner caused by electrical noise, care must be taken when wiring as follows:
● The remote control wiring and the inter-unit control wiring should be wired apart from the inter-unit power wiring.
● Use shielded wires for inter-unit control wiring between units and ground the shield on both sides.
(9) If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacture, because special purpose tools are required.

7. HOW TO PROCESS TUBING
The narrow tubing side is connected by a flare nut, and the wide tubing side is connected by brazing.
7-1. Connecting the Refrigerant Tubing
Use of the Flaring Method
Many of conventional split system air conditioners employ the flaring method to connect refrigerant tubes which run between indoor and outdoor units. In this method, the copper tubes are flared at each end and connected with flare nuts.
Flaring Procedure with a Flare Tool
(1) Cut the copper tube to the required length with a tube cutter. It is recommended to cut approx. 30
– 50 cm longer than the tubing length you estimate.
(2) Remove burrs at the end of the copper tube with a tube reamer or file. This process is important and should be done carefully to make a good flare.
(Fig. 7-1)
NOTE
When reaming, hold the tube end downward and be sure that no copper scraps fall into the tube. (Fig. 7-2)
(3) Remove the flare nut from the unit and be sure to mount it on the copper tube.
(4) Make a flare at the end of copper tube with a flare tool.* (Fig. 7-3)
(*Use “RIGID ® ” or equivalent.)
NOTE
A good flare should have the following characteristics:
●
●
● inside surface is glossy and smooth edge is smooth tapered sides are of uniform length

04-396 InverterW_p51-108 ARGO 12/21/04 10:17 AM Page 94
Caution Before Connecting Tubes Tightly
(1) Apply a sealing cap or water-proof tape to prevent dust or water from entering the tubes before they are used.
(2) Be sure to apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and union before connecting them together. This is effective for reducing gas leaks. (Fig. 7-4)
(3) For proper connection, align the union tube and flare tube straight with each other, then screw in the flare nut lightly at first to obtain a smooth match. (Fig. 7-5)
● Adjust the shape of the narrow tube (liquid tube) using a tube bender at the installation site and connect it to the narrow tubing side (liquid tubing side) valve using a flare.
Cautions During Brazing
● Replace air inside the tube with nitrogen gas to prevent copper oxide film from forming during the brazing process. (Oxygen, carbon dioxide and Freon are not acceptable.)
● Do not allow the tubing to get too hot during brazing. The nitrogen gas inside the tubing may overheat, causing refrigerant system valves to become damaged. Therefore allow the tubing to cool when brazing.
●
●
Use a reducing valve for the nitrogen cylinder.
Do not use agents intended to prevent the formation of oxide film. These agents adversely affect the refrigerant and refrigerant oil, and may cause damage or malfunctions.
7-2. Connecting Tubing Between Indoor and Outdoor Units
(1) Tightly connect the indoor-side refrigerant tubing extended from the wall with the outdoor-side tubing.
(2) To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque as at right:
● When removing the flare nuts from the tubing connections, or when tightening them after connecting the tubing, be sure to use 2 monkey wrenches or spanners as shown. (Fig. 7-6)
If the flare nuts are over-tightened, the flare may be damaged, which could result refrigerant leakage and cause in injury or asphyxiation to room occupants.
● For the flare nuts at tubing connections, be sure to use the flare nuts that were supplied with the unit, or else flare nuts for R410A (type 2). The refrigerant tubing that is used must be of the correct wall thickness as shown in the table at right.

Because the pressure is approximately 1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant pressure, the use of ordinary flare nuts (type 1) or thin-walled tubes may result in tube rupture, injury, or asphyxiation caused by refrigerant leakage.
● In order to prevent damage to the flare caused by over-tightening of the flare nuts, use the table above as a guide when tightening.
● When tightening the flare nut on the narrow tube, use a monkey wrench with a nominal handle length of 200 mm.
04-396 InverterW_p51-108 ARGO 12/21/04 10:17 AM Page 95
7-3. Insulating the Refrigerant Tubing
Tubing Insulation
● Thermal insulation must be applied to all unit tubing, including distribution joint (purchased separately).
* For gas tubing, the insulation material must be heat resistant to 120°C or above. For other tubing, it must be heat resistant to 80°C or above.
Insulation material thickness must be 10 mm or greater.
If the conditions inside the ceiling exceed DB 30°C and RH 70%, increase the thickness of the gas tubing insulation material by 1 step.
CAUTION
If the exterior of the outdoor unit valves has been finished with a square duct covering, make sure you allow sufficient space to use the valves and to allow the panels to be attached and removed.
Taping the flare nuts
Wind the white insulation tape around the flare nuts at the wide tube connections. Then cover up the tubing connections with the flare insulator, and fill the gap at the union with the supplied black insulation tape.
Finally, fasten the insulator at both ends with the supplied vinyl clamps. (Fig. 7-8)
Insulation material
The material used for insulation must have good insulation characteristics, be easy to use, be age resistant, and must not easily absorb moisture.
CAUTION
After a tube has been insulated, never try to bend it into a narrow curve because it can cause the tube to break or crack.

7-4. Taping the Tubes
(1) At this time, the refrigerant tubes (and electrical wiring if local codes permit) should be taped together with armoring tape in 1 bundle. To prevent the condensation from overflowing the drain pan, keep the drain hose separate from the refrigerant tubing.
(2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the outdoor unit to the top of the tubing where it enters the wall. As you wrap the tubing, overlap half of each previous tape turn.
(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to the wall, using 1 clamp approx. each meter. (Fig. 7-10)
NOTE
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly since this will decrease the heat insulation effect. Also ensure that the condensation drain hose splits away from the bundle and drips clear of the unit and the tubing.
7-5. Finishing the Installation
After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent rain and draft from entering. (Fig. 7-11)

8. AIR PURGING
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system may have undesirable effects as indicated below.
●
●
●
●
● pressure in the system rises operating current rises cooling (or heating) efficiency drops moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit must be leak tested and evacuated to remove any noncondensables and moisture from the system.
■ Air Purging with a Vacuum Pump (for Test Run)
Preparation
Check that each tube (both narrow and wide tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units has been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the valve caps from both the wide and narrow service valves on the outdoor unit.
Note that both narrow and wide tube service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.
Leak test
(1) With the service valves on the outdoor unit closed, remove the 1/4 in. flare nut and its bonnet on the wide tube service valve. (Save for reuse.)
(2) Attach a manifold valve (with pressure gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge hoses.
CAUTION
Use a manifold valve for air purging. If it is not available, use a stop valve for this purpose. The “Hi” knob of the manifold valve must always be kept closed.
(3) Pressurize the system to no more than 38 kgf/cm 2 G with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reaches 38 kgf/cm 2 G.
Then, test for leaks with liquid soap.
CAUTION
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be higher than the bottom when you pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.
(Refer to the previous page.)

(4) Do a leak test of all joints of the tubing (both indoor and outdoor) and both wide and narrow service valves. Bubbles indicate a leak. Wipe off the soap with a clean cloth after a leak test.
(5) After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder.
When the system pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from the cylinder.
Evacuation
(1) Attach the charge hose end described in the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and indoor unit. Confirm that the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve is open. Then, run the vacuum pump. The operation time for evacuation varies with the tubing length and capacity of the pump. The following table shows the amount of time for evacuation:
Required time for evacuation when 30 gal/h vacuum pump is used
If tubing length is less than 15 m
45 min. or more
If tubing length is longer than 15 m
90 min. or more

NOTE
The required time in the above table is calculated based on the assumption that the ideal (or target) vacuum condition is less than 667 Pa (–755 mm Hg,
5 Torr).
(2) When the desired vacuum is reached, close the
“Lo” knob of the manifold valve and turn off the vacuum pump. Please confirm that the gauge pressure is under 667 Pa (–755 mmHg, 5 Torr) after 4 to 5 minutes of vacuum pump operation.
CAUTION
Use a cylinder designed for use with R410A respectively.
Charging additional refrigerant
● Charging additional refrigerant (calculated from the narrow tube length as shown in Section 1-8 “Additional Refrigerant Charge”) using the narrow tube service valve. (Fig. 8-5)
● Use a balance to measure the refrigerant accurately.
● If the additional refrigerant charge amount cannot be charged at once, charge the remaining refrigerant in liquid form by using the wide tube service valve with the system in cooling operation mode at the time of test run. (Fig. 8-6)
Finishing the job
(1) With a hex wrench, turn the narrow tube service valve stem counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
(2) Turn the wide tube service valve stem counterclockwise to fully open the valve.
CAUTION
To avoid gas from leaking when removing the charge hose, make sure the stem of the wide tube is turned all the way out
(“BACK SEAT” position.
(3) Loosen the charge hose connected to the wide tube service port (1/4 in.) slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.
(4) Replace the 1/4 in. flare nut and its bonnet on the wide tube service port and fasten the flare nut securely with an adjustable wrench or box wrench.
This process is very important to prevent gas from leaking from the system.
(5) Replace the valve caps at both wide and narrow service valves and fasten them securely.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump. The air conditioner is now ready for a test run.

11-20. Important Information for Installation of
1 Separate Receiver Unit
<Installation location>
● Do not install in a location where the air contains oil mist, such as in a kitchen or factory.
● Do not install next to a window, or in any other location directly exposed to sunlight and outside air.
● Do not install nearby devices which can be expected to produce electrical noise, such as elevators, automatic doors, and industrial sewing machines.
● If the receiver unit is installed near a rapid-start type or inverter-type fluorescent lamp (a lamp which does not include a glow lamp), it may not be possible to receive the wireless remote controller signal in some cases. In order to prevent interference from fluorescent lamps, leave a minimum of 2 meters between the receiver unit and the fluorescent lamps, and install the receiver unit in a location where it can receive the wireless remote controller signal when the fluorescent lamps are lit.
11-21. How to Install the Separate Receiver Unit
NOTE
● To avoid malfunction of the remote controller, do not assemble or run remote control wiring together with the power cables, and do not enclose them in the same metal conduit.
● When the power unit induces electrical noise, it is recommended that a noise filter or the like be installed.

● For flush mounting into a wall, install the separate receiver unit in a metal switch box (field supply) that has been recessed into the wall in advance.
1. Insert a flathead screwdriver or similar tool into the notch, and remove the face plate.
2. Fix the receiver unit with 2 M4 screws provided.
Do not overly tighten, and use the provided spacers. If the receiver unit does not fit in the wall, cut spacers to adjust the clearance.
3. Connect the receiver unit wiring (2-core cable) with the cables extended from the indoor unit.
(Refer to the section on receiver unit wiring.)
Be sure to determine the correct terminal numbers on the indoor unit when wiring the receiver unit.
The remote controller will be damaged if high voltage (such as 200 VAC) is applied.
4.
Reinstall the face plate.
● When using exposed mounting for the receiver unit, install onto a wall where the receiver unit can be attached.
1. Insert a flathead screwdriver or similar tool into the groove on the bottom of the receiver unit. Pry open with the screwdriver and remove the lower case. (Fig. 11-23).
2. In order to later pass the receiver wiring out through the upper case (thin part at the top center), use nippers or a similar tool to cut a notch in the same size as the remote controller cord
(optional). (Fig. 11-24)
3. Disconnect the wires that were connected to the connector at the time of shipment.
4. Fasten the remote controller cord (optional) at the position shown in Fig. 11-25, using the provided clamper. Then connect the cord to the receiver connector.
5. Shape the remote controller cord as shown in Fig.
11-25 so that it fits at the top inside the receiver unit, above the PCB. Then attach the lower case.
At this time, bend the head of the clamp so that it faces sideways.
6. Remove the nameplate and use 2 wood screws to attach the receiver unit.
7. Use the provided cord clips to fasten the remote controller cord to the wall.
8. Reattach the nameplate.
