• DO NOT INSTALL NEAR CONCENTRATIONS OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS OR GAS VAPORS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION. • TO PREVENT THE INDOOR UNIT FROM OVERHEATING AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD, PLACE THE UNIT WELL AWAY (MORE THAN 2 M) FROM HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS RADIATORS, HEAT RESISTORS, FURNACE, STOVES, ETC.
A 1-room connection is not an option for the indoor units (you cannot connect only one indoor unit). Be sure to connect indoor units in two rooms or more. The contents noted in this service manual limit the indoor units to the RAS-B10GKVP-E, RAS-B13GKVP-E, RAS-B16GKVP-E, RAS-M10GKCVP-E, RAS-M13GKCVP-E and RAS-M16GKCVP-E.

Joints For copper pipes, flare joints or socket joints are used. Prior to use, be sure to remove all contaminants. a) Flare Joints Flare joints used to connect the copper pipes cannot be used for pipings whose outer diameter exceeds 20 mm.
Page 26
d) Flare Processing Make certain that a clamp bar and copper pipe have been cleaned. ØD By means of the clamp bar, perform the flare processing correctly. Use either a flare tool for R410A or conven- tional flare tool. Flare processing dimensions differ according to the type of flare tool.
Page 28
3-3. Tools 3-3-1. Required Tools The service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air-water heat pump using R410A is changed to prevent mixing of other refrigerant. To reinforce the pressure-resisting strength, flare processing dimensions and opposite side dimension of flare nut (For Ø12.7 copper pipe) of the refrigerant piping are lengthened.
3-4. Recharging of Refrigerant When it is necessary to recharge refrigerant, charge the specified amount of new refrigerant according to the following steps. Recover the refrigerant, and check no refrigerant remains in the equipment. When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated –0.1 Mpa (–76 cmHg), place the handle Low in the fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pump’s power switch.
1. Be sure to make setting so that liquid can be charged. 2. When using a cylinder equipped with a siphon, liquid can be charged without turning it upside down. It is necessary for charging refrigerant under condition of liquid because R410A is mixed type of refrigerant. Accordingly, when charging refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, charge it turning the cylinder upside down if cylinder is not equipped with siphon.

11-3-2. Caution at Servicing 1. After servicing, press the START/STOP button to return to the normal mode. 2. After servicing by the check code, turn off breaker of the power supply, and turn on breaker of the power supply again so that memory in the microcomputer returns the initial status. However, the check codes are not deleted even if the power supply is turned off because they are stored in the fixed memory.
