1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation
• THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT
DESTROY OZONE LAYER.
R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurities such as water, oxidizing membrane, and oils because
the working pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx. 1.6 times of refrigerant R22.
Accompanied with the adoption of the new refrigerant, the refrigeration machine oil has also been changed.
Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigeration machine oil
does not enter into the new type refrigerant R410A air conditioner circuit.
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port
on main unit and installation tools are different from those used for the conventional refrigerant units.
Accordingly, special tools are required for the new refrigerant (R410A) units.
For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping materials with high pressure fittings made for R410A only,
so that water and/or dust does not enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are some
problems with pressure fittings and possible impurities in existing piping.
CAUTION
TO DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by a circuit breaker or a switch with a contact
separation of at least 3 mm.
DANGER
• THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY
NOT OBSERVING THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS MANUAL.
• ASK AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR QUALIFIED INSTALLATION PROFESSIONAL TO INSTALL/
MAINTAIN THE AIR CONDITIONER.
INAPPROPRIATE SERVICING MAY RESULT IN WATER LEAKAGE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
• TURN OFF MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK. MAKE SURE
ALL POWER SWITCHES ARE OFF. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
–3–
• 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.
• WHEN MOVING THE AIR-CONDITIONER FOR INSTALLATION IN ANOTHER PLACE, BE VERY
CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW THE SPECIFIED REFRIGERANT (R410A) TO BECOME MIXED WITH
ANY OTHER GASEOUS BODY INTO THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT. IF AIR OR ANY OTHER GAS
IS MIXED IN THE REFRIGERANT, THE GAS PRESSURE IN THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT WILL
BECOME ABNORMALLY HIGH AND IT MAY RESULT IN THE PIPE BURSTING AND POSSIBLE
PERSONNEL INJURIES.
• IN THE EVENT THAT THE REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKS OUT OF THE PIPE DURING THE SERVICE
WORK AND THE INSTALLATION WORK, IMMEDIATELY LET FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM. IF THE
REFRIGERANT GAS IS HEATED, SUCH AS BY FIRE, GENERATION OF POISONOUS GAS MAY RESULT.
WARNING
• Do not use any refrigerant different from the one specified for complement or replacement.
Otherwise, abnormally high pressure may be generated in the refrigeration cycle, which may result in a
failure or explosion of the product or an injury to your body.
• Never modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or bypass any of the safety
interlock switches.
• Do not install in a place which cannot bear the weight of the unit. Personal injury and property
damage can result if the unit falls.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source such as a cooking range, noxious gas
may generate.
• The electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the
Installation Manual. Make sure the air conditioner uses an exclusive circuit.
An insufficient circuit capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.
• When wiring, use the specified cables and connect the terminals securely to prevent external
forces applied to the cable from affecting the terminals.
• Be sure to provide grounding.
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or ground wires for telephone cables.
• Conform to the regulations of the local electric company when wiring the power supply.
Inappropriate grounding may cause electric shock.
CAUTION
• Exposure of unit to water or other moisture before installation may result in an electrical short.
Do not store in a wet basement or expose to rain or water.
• Do not install in a place that can increase the vibration of the unit. Do not install in a place that can amplify
the noise level of the unit or where noise or discharged air might disturb neighbors.
• To avoid personal injury, be careful when handling parts with sharp edges.
• Perform the specified installation work to guard against an earthquake.
If the air conditioner is not installed appropriately, accidents may occur due to the falling unit.
For Reference:
If a heating operation would be continuously performed for a long time under the condition that the outdoor
temperature is 0°C or lower, drainage of defrosted water may be difficult due to freezing of the bottom plate,
resulting in a trouble of the cabinet or fan.
It is recommended to procure an antifreeze heater locally for a safe installation of the air conditioner.
For details, contact the dealer.

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. In such a case, socket joints can be used.
Sizes of flare pipe ends, flare joint ends and flare nuts are as shown in Tables 3-2-3 to 3-2-6 below.
b) Socket Joints
Socket joints are such that they are brazed for connections, and used mainly for thick pipings whose
diameter is larger than 20 mm.
Thicknesses of socket joints are as shown in Table 3-2-2.

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.
The used refrigerating oil is changed, and mixing of oil may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge,
clogging of capillary, etc. Accordingly, the tools to be used are classified into the following three types.
1. Tools exclusive for R410A (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22))
2. Tools exclusive for R410A, but can be also used for conventional refrigerant (R22)
3. Tools commonly used for R410A and for conventional refrigerant (R22)

Changes in the product and components
In the case of an air conditioner using R410A, in order to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged
accidentally, the service port diameter of the outdoor unit control valve (3-way valve) has been changed.
(1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch)
• In order to increase the pressure resisting strength of the refrigerant piping flare processing diameter and size
of opposite side of flare nuts has been changed. (for copper pipes with nominal dimensions 1/2 and 5/8)
Torque wrench The size of opposite sides of flare nuts have been increased.
(nominal diam. 1/2, Incidentally, a common wrench is used for nominal diameters
5/8) 1/4 and 3/8.
• Incidentally, the “refrigerant cylinder” comes with the refrigerant designation (R410A) and protector coating in
the U. S’s ARI specified rose color (ARI color code: PMS 507).
• Also, the “charge port and packing for refrigerant cylinder” require 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch corresponding
to the charge hose’s port size.
CAUTION

CAUTION
A high voltage (equivalent to the supply voltage) is also energized to ground through the
sensors, PMV and other low-voltage circuits.
The sensor leads and other wires are covered with insulated tubes for protection.
Nevertheless, care must be taken to ensure that these wires are not pinched.
Take sufÞcient care to avoid directly touching any of the circuit parts without first turning off
the power.
At times such as when the circuit board is to be replaced, place the circuit board assembly in a
vertical position.
Laying the board flat on an electrically conductive object (such as the top panel of the air conditioner’s
outdoor unit) while a charge is still retained by the electrolytic capacitors of the inverter’s main circuit may
cause short-circuiting between the electrolytic capacitors and secondary circuit components and result in
damage to the components.
Fig. 11-2
Do NOT lay the circuit board assembly flat.

11-2. Primary Judgment
To diagnose the troubles, use the following methods.
1) Judgment by flashing LED of indoor unit
2) Self-diagnosis by service check remote controller
3) Judgment of trouble by every symptom
Firstly use the method (1) for diagnosis. Then, use the method (2) or (3) to diagnose the details of troubles.
For any trouble occurred at the outdoor unit side, detailed diagnosis is possible by 5 serial LED (Red) on the
control P.C. board.

11-4. Self-Diagnosis by Remote Controller (Check Code)
1. If the lamps are indicated as shown B to E in Table 11-3-1, execute the self-diagnosis by the remote
controller.
2. When the remote controller is set to the service mode, the indoor controller diagnoses the operation
condition and indicates the information of the self-diagnosis on the display of the remote controller with the
check codes.
If a fault is detected, all lamps on the indoor unit will flash at 5Hz and it will beep for 10 seconds (beep, beep,
beep ... ). The timer lamp usually flashes (5Hz) during self-diagnosis.

11-4-2. Check Code
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.
3. After servicing, press [CLR] button under check mode status and then send the check code “7F” to the
indoor unit. The error code stored in memory is cleared.

11-11. How to Simply Judge Whether Outdoor Fan Motor is Good or Bad
1. Symptom
• Outdoor fan motor does not rotate.
• Outdoor fan motor stops within several tens seconds though it started rotating.
• Outdoor fan motor rotates or does not rotate according to the position where the fan stopped, etc.
Remote controller check code “02 : Outdoor block, 1A : Outdoor fan drive system error”
2. Cause
The following causes are considered when the outdoor fan motor does not normally rotate.
1) Mechanical lock of the outdoor fan motor
2) Winding failure of the outdoor fan motor
3) Position-detect circuit failure inside of the outdoor fan motor
4) Motor drive circuit failure of the outdoor P.C. board
3. How to simply judge whether outdoor fan motor is good or bad
YES
NOTE:
However, GND circuit error inside of the motor may be accepted in some cases when the above check is
performed.
When the fan motor does not become normal even if P.C. board is replaced, replace the outdoor fan motor.

12. HOW TO REPLACE THE MAIN PARTS
W ARNING
Since high voltages is applied to electrical parts, turn off the power without fail before
starting replacement work.
After repairs have been completed and the front panel and cabinet have been attached,
perform test run and check for smoke, unusual sound, and other abnormalities.
Failure to do so may cause fi re or electric shock. Make sure that the cabinet is attached before
CHECK starting test run.
Perform the following when repairing the refrigeration cycle.
• Watch out for fi re in the surrounding area. If a gas stove or other appliance is being used,
extinguish the fl ames before starting work. If the fl ames are not extinguished, they may ignite
oil mixed with the refrigerant gas and may cause fi re or burn injury.
• Do not use welding equipment in an airtight room.
WATCH OUT FOR FIRE Carbon monoxide poisoning may be caused if the room is not well ventilated.
• Do not use welding equipment near fl ammable materials. Flames from the equipment may
.
cause the fl ammable materials to catch fi re and may result in fi re or burn injury.
CAUTION
Wear thick gloves such as cotton work gloves during repair work.
Failure to do so may cause injury by parts.
