 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1
Please read the “SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS” carefully
before installing the air-conditioner equipment and be
sure to install it correctly.
The below notes include two types, both of which are
related to safety and extremely important. Please read
it carefully.
WARNINGĂĂIndicates a potentially
hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
CAUTIONĂĂIndicates a situation that may
result in injury or equipment damage. According
different condition, it also may result in the accidents
of serious injury or other damage.
䄺ਞ
WARNING

z Ask the specially trained personnel to carry out
the installation work. Do not try to install the
machine by yourself.
z Please perform the installation work in accordance
with the steps in this manual.
Improper installation may result in water leakage,
electric shock or fire.
z Please install the air-conditioner on a foundation
strong enough to withstand the weight of the unit.
An insufficient strength foundation may result in
the unit falling and causing injuries.
z Carry out the specified installation work after
taking into account strong winds, typhoons or
earthquakes.
Improper installation work may result in the unit
falling and causing injuries.
z Make sure that a separate power supply circuit is
provided for this unit and that all electrical work is
carried out by specially trained personnel
according local laws, regulations and this
installation manual.
An insufficient power supply capacity or improper
electrical construction may lead to electric shock
or fire.
z Make sure that the specified wires are used and all
wiring is secure. No external forces act on the
terminal connections or wires.
Improper wiring connections or installation may
result in electric shock or fire.
z When connecting the wiring of power supply,
wired controller and remote controller, the wiring
should be laid orderly so that the electric parts
box lid can be securely fastened.
z If it appears refrigerant leakage during the
installation process, open the doors and windows
immediately to ventilate the room thoroughly.
1
YORK VRF Air-Conditioner IOM
z Toxic gas may be produced if the refrigerant comes
in contact with fire such as a fan heater, stove or
cooking device.
z Power off the unit before touching the electrical
parts.
z Do not touch the switch with wet fingers.
Touching the switch with wet fingers may cause
electric shock.
z Be sure the air-conditioner is well grounded.
Never connect the ground line with the gas pipe,
water pipe, lightning conductor or telephone lines.
Incomplete ground line may cause electric shock
or fire.
z Be sure to install a ground leakage breaker.
Failure to install a ground leakage breaker may
result in electric shock or fire.
z Please follow the instructions in this manual to
install drain pipe in order to ensure smooth
drainage and insulate the pipe to avoid
accumulating of condensate water.
Improper drain pipe may result in water leakage
and property damage.
z Install the air-conditioner unit, power supply
wiring and connection wires at least 1m away
from electrical equipments, such as TVs, radios,
etc. to avoid electromagnetic waves interference
or noise.
z Remote controller transmitting distance may be
shortened than the expected one in the rooms
with electronic fluorescent lamps (inverter or
rapid start types).
Install the indoor unit as far away from fluorescent
lamps as possible.
z Do not install the air-conditioner in the following
locations:
(a) Where a mineral oil mist or an oil spray or
vapor is produced, for example in a kitchen.
Plastic parts may be deteriorated, corroded or
damaged.
(b) Where corrosive gas, such as sulfurous acid
gas is produced.
Corroded copper tubes or soldered parts may
result in refrigerant leakage.
(c) Where near machinery emitting
electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves may disturb the
operation of the control system and result in a
malfunction of the equipment.
(d) Where it may have flammable gas leakage,
carboform or floating flammable dust,
volatile flammable material such as gasoline
or thinner.
Using air-conditioner in those places may
result in fire.
z Do not touch heat exchanger fins
Improper touching the heat exchanger fins may
result in machine damage or personnel injury.
z Be very careful about the product transportation.
 YORK VRF Air-Conditioner IOM
Do not use any packaging PP bands for a means of
transportation to avoid PP bands rupturing and
result in product damaging or personnel injury.
 BEFORE INSTALLATION
2
z Do not unpack the unit before reaching the
installation site. Where unpacking is unavoidable,
countermeasure should be done after unpacking
to avoid damaging or scratching of the unit.
z When moving the unit during or after unpacking,
be sure to avoid putting any pressure or strength
on the refrigerant piping, drain pipe or the other
plastic parts, which may damage the unit.
z Before installing the unit, be sure to check the
type of refrigerant to be used is R22 or R410A
which should be same as outdoor unit.
z For the installation of the outdoor unit, please
refer to the installation manual attached to the
outdoor unit.

z Make sure that the unit is installed level using a
spirit level or a plastic tube filled with water. (Refer
to Fig. 5)
(One thing to watch out for in particular is if the
unit is installed so that the slope is not in the
direction of the drain pipe, which might cause
leaking.)


Fig. 5 Check Unit Level
5.4 Tighten the upper nuts
z Be sure the below washer and nut are installed
within the hanger bracket for fear of bolt rolling
out, this may result in danger.
6 REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK
z Execute insulation completely on both sides of the
gas piping and the liquid piping. Otherwise, water
leakage can result sometimes.
Please use the insulation materials that can
withstand temperature of at least 120°C. Reinforce
the insulation on the refrigerant piping according
to the installation environment. Otherwise,
condensate water may form on the surface of the
insulation.
NO
CAUTION
TE
Please follow the below items.
z Apply ester oil or ether oil to the flare section
(internal and external surface) when using a flare
connection.
z Only the flare nuts included with the unit can be
used. Using different flare nuts may cause
refrigerant leakage.
z To prevent dust, moisture or other contaminant
from infiltrating the piping, either pinch the end or
cover it with tape.
z Do not allow anything other than the designated
refrigerant to get mixed into the refrigerant circuit,
such as air, etc.
z When brazing the refrigerant piping, perform
nitrogen replacement first, or perform brazing
while feeding nitrogen into the refrigerant piping,
and finally connect the indoor unit using the flare
connections.
NO
CAUTION
TE
z When brazing a pipe while feeding nitrogen inside
the pipe, make sure to set the nitrogen pressure to
0.02MPa (0.2kgf/cm2) or less using the pressure
reducing valve.
(This pressure is just like breeze blowing to your
cheek.)
