2-2. Embedding the Tubing and Wiring

G Before beginning embedding installation work, consult
fully with agencies or offices related to the building’s
foundation, construction, electricity, and water.
G Wait to make connections to the embedded portion.
Each connection step is described later in this
manual.
G Securely cover the end of the embedded tubing to
prevent intrusion of dirt or moisture.
G If an embedded tube is to be left for a long time, fill
the tube with nitrogen and seal both ends securely.
If a tube is left open for an extended time, moisture in
the air inside the tubing may condense into water
droplets, and lead to water contamination of the refrig-
erant circuit.
G In order to prevent insulation breakdown and ground
faults, do not allow wiring ends to come in contact with
rainwater, or be subjected to condensation or dew.
G Apply sufficient thermal insulation to the refrigerant
tubing and drain pipes.

3-6. Wiring Instructions
General precautions on wiring
(1) Before wiring, confirm the rated voltage of the unit as Right tubing
outlet
shown on its nameplate, then carry out the wiring
closely following the wiring diagram.
(2) Provide a power outlet to be used exclusively for
each unit, with a power supply disconnect and cir- Fig. 21
cuit breaker for overcurrent protection provided in
the exclusive line.
(3) To prevent possible hazard due to insulation failure,
the unit must be grounded.
(4) Each wiring connection must be done tightly and in
accordance with the wiring system diagram. Wrong
wiring may cause the unit to misoperate or become
damaged.
(5) Do not allow wiring to touch the refrigerant tubing, Fig. 22
compressor, or any moving parts of the fan.
(6) Unauthorized changes in the internal wiring can be
very dangerous. The manufacturer will accept no
responsibility for any damage or misoperation that
occurs as a result of such unauthorized changes.

3-8. Mounting
(1) To install the indoor unit, mount the indoor unit onto
the 2 tabs on the upper part of the rear plate.
(2) Hold down the air discharge outlet and press the
lower part of the indoor unit until it clicks to securely
fasten to the 2 tabs on the lower part of the rear
plate. (Fig. 33)

NOTE
For tubing, choose either the right or left tubing direction
and follow the steps below. This work can be made easi- Fig. 33
er by placing padding material (such as styrofoam) at the
rear right side of the indoor unit. (Fig. 34)
I Right-side tubing
(1) Shape the refrigerant tubing so that it can easily go
into the wall hole. (Fig. 35)
(2) Push the wiring, refrigerant tubing, and drain hose Padding material
through the hole in the wall. Adjust the indoor unit so
it is securely seated on the rear panel. (Fig. 36)
(3) Carefully bend the tubing (if necessary) to run along Fig. 34
the wall in the direction of the outdoor unit and then
tape as far as the fittings. (See Caution on page 15

in the outdoor unit installation manual.) The drain
hose should come straight down the wall to a point Cover

where water runoff won’t stain the wall.

4. How to Test Run the Air Conditioner

After turning on power to the air conditioner, use the remote
controller and follow the steps below to conduct the test run.

(1) Set the remote controller in Test Run mode.

(Fig. 59a)
a) Press and hold the ION button.
b) Then press and hold the 1HR TIMER button.
c) At the same time, press the ACL (reset) button once.
Use a pointed object such as the tip of a pen to press ON/OFF
operation
the ACL button. ION

• After a few seconds, “ ” appears and “oP-1” blinks in
the remote controller display area. 1HR.

d) Release the 1HR TIMER button.
e) Release the ION button.
(2) Start Cooling mode test run by pressing the ON/OFF
operation button of the remote controller. (Fig. 59a)
• This starts the fan producing uncooled forced air with
the 4 indicator lamps (OPERATION lamp, TIMER
lamp, QUIET lamp, and ION lamp) on the main unit
blinking. (Fig. 59c)
• After 3 minutes, the system shifts into cooling opera- ACL
A
tion, and cool air will start to be felt. Cool mode test (Reset)

run is unaffected by the room temperature.
(3) Press the ON/OFF operation button of the remote con- Fig. 59a
troller again to stop the test run. (Fig. 59a)
(4) Finally press the ACL (reset) button of the remote con-
troller to release it from Test Run mode to return to nor-
mal mode. (Fig. 59a)
• “ ” and “oP-1” will disappear from the remote con-
troller display area.

IMPORTANT
After the test run is completed, be sure to press the ACL
(reset) button to return to normal mode. The air conditioner Fig. 59b
will not operate correctly if this is not done.

5. Remote Control Unit Installation Position

The remote control unit can be operated from either a
non-fixed position or a wall-mounted position.
To ensure that the air conditioner operates correctly, do
not install the remote control unit in the following places:
G In direct sunlight
G Behind a curtain or other place where it is covered
G More than 26' (8 m) away from the air conditioner
G In the path of the air conditioner’s airstream
G Where it may become extremely hot or cold
G Where it may be subject to electrical or magnetic
interference
G Where there is an obstacle between the remote con-
trol unit and the air conditioner (since a check signal
is sent from the remote control unit every 5 minutes)

5-1. Mounting on a Wall

Before mounting the remote control unit, press the
ON/OFF operation button at the mounting location to
make sure that the air conditioner operates from that
location. The indoor unit should make a beeping sound
to indicate that it has received the signal.

6. Address Switch Tab

6-1. Address Setting of the Remote Control Unit

The address can be set in order to prevent interference
between remote controllers when two Sanyo indoor units
are installed near each other. The address is normally
set to “A.” To set a different address, it is necessary to
change the address on the second remote controller.

NOTE Fig. 62

Once changed, you cannot restore the original address

setting of the air conditioner.

(1) Switch on the power source.

(2) Break the address-setting tab marked “A” on the
second remote controller to change the address
(Fig. 62). When the tab is removed, the address is
automatically set to B (Fig. 63). ACL button
(3) Press and hold the remote controller ION button and
1 HR TIMER button. At the same time, press the
Fig. 63
ACL(reset) button. Use a thin object such as the tip
of a pen to press the ACL button. When this has
been done, “oP-1” (test run) appears, blinking, in the
remote controller clock display area.
(4) Each time the 1 HR TIMER button is pressed, the
display changes as shown below. Press this button
2 times to change the display to “oP-7” (address
setting). (Fig. 64)

received sound is heard from the second indoor unit
(approximately 5 times). The sound you hear is the
signal that the remote controller address has been
changed.
(7) Finally press the remote controller ACL (reset) but-
ton to cancel the blinking “oP-7” display.
