 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Before installation and electric work
s Before installing the unit, make sure you read all the
“Safety precautions”.
s The “Safety precautions” provide very important
points regarding safety. Make sure you follow them.
s This equipment may not be applicable to EN61000-3-
2: 1995 and EN61000-3-3: 1995.
s This equipment may have an adverse effect equip-
ment on the same electrical supply system.
s Please report to or take consent by the supply au-
thority before connection to the system.
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.
Symbols used in the illustrations
: Indicates an action that must be avoided.
: Indicates that important instructions must be followed.
: Indicates a part which must be grounded.
: Indicates that caution should be taken with rotating parts. (This
symbol is displayed on the main unit label.) <Color: Yellow>
: Beware of electric shock (This symbol is displayed on the main
unit label.) <Color: Yellow>
Warning:
Carefully read the labels affixed to the main unit.
Warning:
• Ask the dealer or an authorized technician to install the air con-
ditioner.
- Improper installation by the user may result in water leakage, elec-
tric shock, or fire.
• Install the air unit at a place that can withstand its weight.
- Inadequate strength may cause the unit to fall down, resulting in
injuries.
• Use the specified cables for wiring. Make the connections se-
curely 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 typhoons and other strong winds and earthquakes
and install the unit at the specified place.
- Improper installation may cause the unit to topple and result in
injury.
• Always use an air cleaner, humidifier, electric heater, 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.
1
• Never repair the unit. If the air conditioner must be repaired,
consult the dealer.
- 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 al-
ways use a special circuit.
- If the power source capacity is inadequate or electric work is per-
formed improperly, electric shock and fire may result.
• Securely install the cover of control box and the panel.
- If the cover and panel are not installed properly, dust or water
may enter the outdoor unit and fire or electric shock may result.
• When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site,
do not charge the it with a refrigerant different from the refrig-
erant (R407C or R22) specified on the unit.
- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant,
the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be dam-
aged.
• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures
must be taken to prevent the refrigerant concentration from
exceeding the safety limit even if the refrigerant should leak.
- Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate measures to pre-
vent 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, elec-
tric 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 and operated forcibly, or parts other than those specified
by Mitsubishi Electric are used, fire or explosion may result.
2. Precautions for devices that use
R407C refrigerant
Caution:
• Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
- The old refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping con-
tains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the refrigerator
oil of the new unit to deteriorate.
• Use refrigerant piping made of C1220 (CU-DHP) phosphorus
deoxidized copper as specified in the *JIS H3300 “Copper and
copper 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 contaminant.
- Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause
the refrigerant residual oil to deteriorate.
*JIS: Japanese Industrial Standard
• 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 trouble may result.
• Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the
refrigerator oil to coat flares and flange connections.
- The refrigerator oil will degrade if it is mixed with a large amount of
mineral oil.
• Use liquid refrigerant to fill the system.
- If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the composition of
the refrigerant in the cylinder will change and performance may
drop.
• Do not use a refrigerant other than R407C.
- If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is used, the chlorine in the refrig-
erant may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
• Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve..
- The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant cycle and
cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
• Do not use the following tools that are used with conventional
refrigerants.
(Gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, reverse flow
check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge, refriger-
ant recovery equipment)
- If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil are mixed in the
R407C, the refrigerant may deteriorated.
- If water is mixed in the R407C, the refrigerator oil may deteriorate.
- Since R407C does not contain any chlorine, gas leak detectors
for conventional refrigerants will not react to it.
• Do not use a charging cylinder.
- Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
• Be especially careful when managing the tools.
- If dust, dirt, or water gets in the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant
may deteriorate.

Linear expansion valve

1 Operation summary of the linear expansion valve.

• Linear expansion valve open/close through stepping motor after receiving the pulse signal from the indoor controller board.
• Valve position can be changed in proportion to the number of pulse signal.
