(4) Use the following procedure to mount the remote con-
troller (optional accessory) on the unit is so desired.
(FXLQ type only)
• Open the left side lid of control panel and mount the lower
case on the remote controller.
NOTE
See the accessory instruction
procedure for instructions on
screw fastening and wiring for the
remote controller.
CAUTION
Setting the unit at an angle opposite to the drain piping might
cause leaks.
6. REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK
〈For refrigerant piping of outdoor units, see the installation
manual attached to the outdoor unit.〉
〈Execute heat insulation work completely on both sides of
the gas piping and the liquid piping. Otherwise, a water
leakage can result sometimes.〉
(When using a heat pump, the temperature of the gas piping
can reach up to approximately 120°C, so use insulation which is
sufficiently resistant.)
〈Also, in cases where the temperature and humidity of the
refrigerant piping sections might exceed 30°C or RH80%,
reinforce the refrigerant insulation. (20 mm or thicker) Con-
densation may form on the surface of the insulating mate-
rial.〉
〈Before refrigerant piping work, check which type of refrig-
erant is used. Proper operation is not possible if the types
of refrigerant are not the same.〉
CAUTION
• Use a pipe cutter and flare suitable for the type of
refrigerant.
• Apply ester oil or ether oil around the flare portions
before connecting.
• To prevent dust, moisture or other foreign matter
from infiltrating the tube, either pinch the end or
cover it with tape.
• Do not allow anything other than the designated
refrigerant to get mixed into the refrigerant circuit,
such as air, etc. If any refrigerant gas leaks while
working on the unit, ventilate the room thoroughly
right away.
• Do not allow air, etc., to become mixed with the specified
refrigerant inside the refrigeration cycle.
• The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant.
• Be sure to use both a spanner and torque wrench together,
as shown in the drawing, when connecting or disconnecting
pipes to/from the unit.
• To prevent flare nut cracking and gas leaks, be sure to use
both a spanner and torque wrench together, as shown in the
drawing, when connecting or disconnecting pipes to / from
the unit.
• Refer to Table 2 for the dimensions of flare nut spaces.
• When connecting the flare nut, coat the flare section (both
inside and outside) with ester oil or ether oil, rotate three or
four times first, then screw in.
• Refer to the Table 2 for tightening torque.
• Wrap only the gas line side with the sealing pad (5). Bend the
pad over the insulation for fitting (union) from above.
• After inspecting pipe joints for gas leakage, be sure to insu-
late with the accessory joint insulation for fitting (3) (4) while
referring to the figure on the next page. (Fasten both ends
with clamps (6))
CAUTION
Setting the unit at an angle opposite to the drain piping
might cause leaks.
Use “ Table 3 ” as a reference if a torque wrench is not available.
Once work is complete, make sure there is no gas leaking. As
the flare nut is tightened with the wrench, the torque will sud-
denly increase. From that position, tighten the nut to the angle
shown on “ Table 3 ”.
• Make absolutely sure to execute heat insulation works on the
pipe-connecting section after checking gas leakage by thor-
oughly studying the following figure and using the attached
heat insulating materials for fitting (3) and (4). (Fasten both
ends with the clamps (6) (accessory).) (Refer to Fig. 1)
• Wrap the sealing pad (5) (accessory) only around the insula-
tion for the joints on the gas piping side.
CAUTION
Be sure to insulate any field piping all the way to the piping
connection inside the unit. Any exposed piping may cause
condensation or burns if touched.
