Selecting the Mounting
Locations
Determine the mounting location with
the customer as follows:
Indoor Unit
• Install the indoor unit level on a
strong wall which is not subject
to vibration.
• The inlet and outlet ports should
not be obstructed. The air should
be able to blow throughout the

150 mm
room.
• Install the indoor unit where
connection to the outdoor unit
can be made easily.
• Install the unit where the drain pipe
can be easily installed.
• Take servicing into consideration
and leave the spacing shown in
Figure 2. Also, install the unit where
the filter can be easily removed.
• Do not install the unit near a source
500 mm or more from eye level 500 mm or more from eye level
of heat, steam, or flammable gas.
• Do not install the unit where it will

1. Installing the Wall Bracket
1. Install the wall bracket so that it
is level from side to side. If the
wall bracket is tilted, condensate
water will drip to the floor.
2. Install the wall bracket so that it
is strong enough to withstand a
weight of 50 kilograms or more.
3. Fasten the wall bracket to the
wall with 6 or more screws
through the holes near the outer
edge of the bracket.
4. Check to insure that there is no
rattle of the wall bracket against
the wall.

2. Drilling the Hole in the Wall
for the Connecting Piping
1. Drill a 65 mm diameter hole in
the wall at the desired position
shown in Figure 6.
MCW509-512

Figure 6
2. Drill the hole so that the outside
end is lower (5-10 mm.) than the
inside end.
3. Cut the wall pipe length to match
the wall thickness, insert it into
an accessory wall cap, fasten the
cap with vinyl tape, and insert the
pipe through the wall hole. (Wall
pipe and wall cap are procured
at the site).

4. For 1 left piping and 4 right
piping, drill the hole sligthly lower
so that the condensate water will
flow freely.
Caution
• Always drill the wall hole uniformly
and straight when the wall pipe is
not used. If the hold center is not
aligned, condensate leakage can
occur.
• If the wall pipe is not used, the
wiring cable connecting the indoor
and outdoor units may become
frayed and cause electric current
leakage to earth.

the wall hole and bind the drain
hose and pipe together with
vinyl tape (Figure 8).

Caution
• To prevent breaking of the pipe,
avoid sharp bends. Bend the
pipe with a radius of curvature of
100 mm or more.
• If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the
same place, it will break.
• Do not remove the flare nuts
from the indoor unit pipe
immediately before connecting
the outdoor connection piping.

6. Check to insure that: (Ref.
Figure 10).
• The top and bottom hooks are
hooked firmly and the indoor unit
does not move to the front and
rear or left and right.
• The indoor unit is accurately
positioned horizontally and
vertically.
• The drain hose is at the bottom
of the wall hole pipe.

Outdoor Unit Installation
1. Install the unit mounting pads
(4 places) into the bottom channels
by tapping gently with a plastic or
rubber tipped hammer.
2. Set the unit on a strong surface
such as one made of concrete to
minimize shock and vibration and
to locate the unit securely.
3. Do not set the unit directly on the
ground.
Connecting the Unit with
Flaring Procedure.
Flaring (If piping is procured or cut at
the site).
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. Hold each pipe downward when
cutting and 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
(Figure 12 and Figure 13).

When reaming, hold the tube end
downward and be sure that no
copper scraps fall into the tube.

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 (Figure 14,15).

Check if (L) is flared uniform
and is not cracked or scratched.

1.4 to 1.7 mm (6.35 mm dia)
1.8 to 2.0 mm (9.53 mm dia)
1.9 to 2.2 mm (12.7 mm dia)
2.1 to 2.4 mm (15.88 mm dia)
Figure 15
A good flare should have the
following characteristics:
- Inside surface is glossy and
smooth.
- Edge is smooth.
- Tapered sides are of uniform
length.
Bending
5. When bending the tube, be careful
not to crush it. To prevent crushing
of the tube, bend it gently and do
not bend the tube at a radius
curvature of less than 100 mm.
6. If the copper tube is bent or pulled
too often, it will become stiff. Do
not bend the pipe more than three
times at one place.
Cautions before Connecting
Tubes Tightly
7. Be sure to apply a sealing cap
or water-proof tape to prevent
dust or water from getting into
the tubes before they are used.
8. 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 (Figure 16).
Apply refrigerant lubricant here
Figure 16
Connection
9. 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 (Figure 17).
Union Flare nut
Figure 17
10. Tighten the flare nut to the
specified tightening torque with
torque wrench and adjustable
wrench (Figure 18).
11. Repeat the process above for the
remaining line.
 Remote Control Installation
Locate and attach the wireless
remote control as follows:
1. Do not place the control and the
remote control near heat sources
or expose to the direct rays of the

sun.
Indoor unit pipe (adjustable). 2. Do not expose the control to the
indoor unit’s supply air stream.
3. Do not place in a confined space.
4. Attach the remote control holder
as shown in Figure 19.

Evacuation and Refrigerant
Charge
1. Air Evacuation and Charging
1. Remove the cap and connect the
gauge manifold and the vacuum
pump to the charging port using
the service hoses (Figure 20).
2. Pump the indoor unit and the
connecting pipes until the
pressure in them lowers to below
1.5 mmHg of vacuum.
3. Stop the vacuum pump and close
the gauge manifold valve.
4. Remove the blanking caps and
fully open the service valves with
a hexagon wrench (Torque: 70
to 90 kgf - cm).

6. Disconnect the service hoses and
reinstall the cap on the charging
port. (Tightening torque: 70 to
90 kgf - cm).
2. Additional Charge
Refrigerant suitable for a piping length
of 3.5 to 5.0 meters is charged in the
outdoor unit from the factory. When the
piping is longer than 5 m, additional
charging is necessary. For the
additional amount, see table below.
Pipe length 16ft 23ft 33ft
(5m) (7m) (10m)
Additional refrigerant None 1.1 oz 2.8 oz
(R22) (32g) (80g)
Between 5 m and 10 m, when using
connection pipe lengths other than
that in the table, charge additional
refrigerant with 0.56 oz (16g)/3.3ft.
Caution
• FREON GAS “R22” ONLY
• Always evacuate air from the piping
before adding refrigerant.
• Add refrigerant through the
charging valve after the completion
of removing the blanking caps and
fully open the service valves.
1. Remove the outdoor unit terminal
cover (Figure 21).
2. Route the connection cable through
the cable entry brushing and up to
the terminal block.
3. Insert the end of the cable wires
into the terminal block connectors
as shown on the unit wiring
diagram (Figure 11).
4. Tighten the terminal block
connector screws.
(Torque: 7-12 kgf - cm). Figure 21
• The appliance shall be installed in
accordance with national wiring
regulation.
Caution
• The connector cable wires must be
connected such that terminal
numbers on the indoor unit match
those on the terminal block of the
outdoor unit (Figure 11).
• Insert the connection cable wires
into the terminal block firmly.
Incorrect insertion may cause a Drain hose
safety problem.
5. Replace the outdoor unit terminal
cover. Figure 22

Gas Leakage Inspection

After charging with refrigerant, check
the joints for gas leakage with gas leak
detector or a soap bubble solution.

10 MS-SVN003-EN
Finishing
1. Securely wrap the connection
cable along the refrigerant pipes
with vinyl tape. (Starting at the
lowest end of the pipes, each
wrap should be about 1/3 of the
tape width so that water does
not enter).(Figure 22)
2. Fasten the cable/piping to the
outside wall with clamps, etc.
3. Fill the gap between the outside
wall cap and the pipe with sealer
so that rain water and wind cannot
blow in.
4. Fasten the drain hose to the outside
wall, etc (Figure 23 & Figure 24).
Run Test
1. Start the system and check items 1
through 7 below.
2. For the system start procedure,
refer to the Owner Manual.
