Outdoor Unit Installation; Flaring Work And Pipe Connection - Mitsubishi Electric MXZ-3C68VA Bedienungsanleitung

2. OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION

2-1. CONNECTING WIRES FOR OUTDOOR UNIT
1) Remove the service panel.
2) Loosen terminal screw, and connect indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (B) from
the indoor unit correctly on the terminal block. Be careful not to make mis-wiring.
Fix the wire to the terminal block securely so that no part of its core is appeared,
and no external force is conveyed to the connecting section of the terminal block.
3) Firmly tighten the terminal screws to prevent them from loosening. After tighten-
ing, pull the wires lightly to confirm that they do not move.
4) Perform 2) and 3) for each indoor unit.
5) Connect power supply cord (A).
6) Fix indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (B) and power supply cord (A) with the
cable clamps.
7) Close the service panel securely. Make sure that 3-2. PIPE CONNECTION is
completed.
• After making connections between both power supply cord (A) and indoor/out-
door unit connecting wire (B), be sure to fix both cable and wire with cable
clamps.

3. FLARING WORK AND PIPE CONNECTION

3-1. FLARING WORK
1) Cut the copper pipe correctly with pipe cutter. (Fig. 1, 2)
2) Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe. (Fig. 3)
• Aim the copper pipe downward while removing burrs to prevent burrs from
dropping in the pipe.
3) Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor units, then put them on
pipe having completed burr removal. (Not possible to put them on after flaring
work.)
4) Flaring work (Fig. 4, 5). Firmly hold copper pipe in the dimension shown in
the table. Select A mm from the table according to the tool selected.
5) Check
• Compare the flared work with Fig. 6.
• If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the flared section and do flaring work
again.

3-2. PIPE CONNECTION
1) Apply a thin coat of refrigeration oil (G) to the flared ends of the pipes and
the pipe connections of the outdoor unit.
2) Align the center of the pipe with that of the pipe connections of the outdoor
unit, then hand tighten the flare nut 3 to 4 turns.
3) Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in the table.
• Over-tightening may cause damage to the flare nut, resulting in refrigerant
leakage.
• Be sure to wrap insulation around the piping. Direct contact with the bare
piping may result in burns or frostbite.
3-3. INSULATION AND TAPING
1) Cover piping joints with pipe cover.
2) For outdoor unit side, surely insulate every piping including valves.
3) Using piping tape (E), apply taping starting from the entry of outdoor unit.
• Stop the end of piping tape (E) with tape (with adhesive agent attached).
• When piping have to be arranged through above ceiling, closet or where
the temperature and humidity are high, wind additional commercially sold
insulation to prevent condensation.

• Make earth wire a little longer than others. (More than 35 mm)
• For future servicing, give extra length to the connecting wires.
