Hitachi airHome 300 RAK-CJ10CAK Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
● Flare nut must use a torque wrench without fail. Tighten with the specifi ed tightening torque.
MANUAL
If the fl are nut is tightened too much, after a long period of time, the fl are nut breaks, Gas
leakage, stagnation, touching fi re, rarely cause ignition.
● Sharp bending of the pipe use the polyethylene rod, bend not crushed the pipe. Gas leakage
from the crushed part, stagnation, touching fi re, rarely cause ignition.
Home
● Please request your sales agent or qualifi ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage,
short circuit or fi re may occur if you do the installation work yourself.
● Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of
installation. Improper installation may cause water leakage, electric shock and fi re.
● Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to
the weight of the units. If not, the units may collapse and impose danger.
SPLIT UNIT AIR CONDITIONER
● Must install air conditioner according to the local electrical installation standards.
● Be sure to use the specifi ed wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure
INDOOR UNIT
that the connections are tight after the conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals.
RAK-CJ10CAK Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating and fi re.
RAK-CJ13CAK
● Please use the specifi ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse
or water leakage, electric shock and fi re may occur.
OUTDOOR UNIT
● Be sure to use the specifi ed piping set for R32. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper

pipes or faults.
RAC-CJ13CAK
● When installing or removing an air conditioner, only specifi ed refrigerant (R32) shall be
allowed, do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure
in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a rupture may be caused.
● Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes
EN INSTRUCTION MANUAL
into contact with fi re, a poisonous gas may occur. Be aware that refrigerants may not contain
an odour.
FOR SERVICE
● After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas
leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming into contact with fi re in the fan-

driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
● Unauthorized modifi cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs
please call a qualifi ed air conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result
in water leakage, electric shock and fi re, etc.
● Carefully read through the procedures of
proper installation before starting installation
work.
● The sales agent should inform customers
regarding the correct operation of installation.
● A circuit breaker must be installed. Without a circuit breaker or fuse the danger of electric
shock exists.

● Mechanical connectors used indoor
shall comply with ISO 14903.
When mechanical connectors are
reused indoors, sealing parts shall
be renewed. When fl are joints are
reused indoors, the fl are part shall
be re-frabricated.
● Refrigerant tubing shall be protected

WARNING
!
The outdoor unit must be mounted at a location which can support
●
heavy weight. Otherwise, noise and vibration will increase.
CAUTION
!
● Selecting the installation location: Suitable location that will reduce the
impact from rain and direct sun that may affect the unit performance.
Besides that, ventillation must be good and clear of obstruction.
● The air blown out of the unit should not point directly to animals or plants.
● The clearances of the unit from top, left, right and front are specifi ed in
fi gure below. At least three of the above sides must be open air.
● Be sure that the hot air blown out of the unit and noise do not disturb
the neighbourhood.
● Do not install at a location where there is fl ammable gas, steam, oil and
smoke.
● The location must be convenient for water drainage.
● Place the outdoor unit and its connection wire at least 1m away from the
antenna or signal line of television, radio or telephone. This is to avoid
noise interference.
● Do not install outdoor unit facing strong wind direction. It may damage
the fan motor.
● Do not install the outdoor unit in a place where small animals may build

INSTALLATION OF REFRIGERATING PIPES AFTER CONNECTION
● The refrigerating pipes should be adjusted to fi t into the
hole on the wall and then ready for further connection.
● The terminals of 2 connected pipes must be covered
with insulator used for terminal connection. Then the
pipes are wrapped with insulation pipe.
Connect the connecting cord after removing electrical
●
cover. (Refer to "CONNECTION OF POWER CORD")
After adjustment, fi t the connecting cord and pipes into
●
the space available under the indoor unit.
The rubber strap used for fi xing the insulator
●
should not be tied with great force. Otherwise,
this will damage heat insulation and causes water
condensation.

generated, such as septic tanks and sewer.
Corrosive gas may fl ow backward from the drain hose to the indoor unit, corrode the copper
pipe, or it may cause offensive odors in the room.
● Cut the drain hose at a position 100 mm higher than the fl oor surface. It may cause water
leakage due to air lock or clogging of foreign matter.
