Check of limit density
Pay special attention to any location,
such as a basement, etc., where leaking
refrigerant can accumulate, since
refrigerant gas is heavier than air.
WARNING
CAUTION
1. Model Selecting and Capacity Calculator
Additional refrigerant charge amount
Additional refrigerant charge amount is calculated from the liquid tubing total length as follows.

Required amount of charge = (Amount of refrigerant charge per
meter of each size of liquid tube × its tube length) + (...) + (...)
* Always charge accurately using a scale for weighing.
WARNING
CAUTION
Always check the gas density
limit for the room in which the
unit is installed.
1-5. Check of Limit Density
When installing an air conditioner in a room, it is necessary to
ensure that even if the refrigerant gas accidentally leaks out, its
density does not exceed the limit level for that room.
If the density could exceed the limit level, it is necessary to provide
an opening between the unit and the adjacent room, or to install
mechanical ventilation which is interlocked with a leak detector.

The limit density of refrigerant R410A which is used in this unit is
0.3 oz/ft.

(ISO 5149).
The shipped outdoor unit comes charged with the amount of refrig-
erant fixed for each type, so add it to the amount that is charged in
the field. (For the refrigerant charge amount at shipment, refer to the
unit’s nameplate.)
Minimum indoor volume & floor area as against the amount
of refrigerant is roughly as given in the following table.
