 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For general public use

Power supply cord of outdoor unit shall be more than 1.5 mm ² (H07RN-F or 245IEC66) polychloroprene
sheathed flexible cord.

• Read this “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully before servicing.

• The precautions described below include the important items regarding safety. Observe them without fail.
• After the servicing work, perform a trial operation to check for any problem.
• Turn off the main power supply switch (or breaker) before the unit maintenance.

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.

DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE

The high voltage circuit is incorporated.
Be careful to do the check service, as the electric shock may be caused in case of touching parts on
the P.C. board by hand.

• CORRECTLY CONNECT THE CONNECTING CABLE. IF THE CONNECTING CABLE IS INCORRECTLY

CONNECTED, ELECTRIC PARTS MAY BE DAMAGED.
• CHECK THAT THE EARTH WIRE IS NOT BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED BEFORE SERVICE AND
INSTALLATION. 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.

3-2-2. Processing of Piping Materials

When performing the refrigerant piping installation, care should be taken to ensure that water or dust does not
enter the pipe interior, that no other oil than lubricating oils used in the installed air-water heat pump is used,
and that refrigerant does not leak.
When using lubricating oils in the piping processing, use such lubricating oils whose water content has been
removed. When stored, be sure to seal the container with an airtight cap or any other cover.
1. Flare processing procedures and precautions
a) Cutting the Pipe
By means of a pipe cutter, slowly cut the pipe so that it is not deformed.
b) Removing Burrs and Chips
If the flared section has chips or burrs, refrigerant leakage may occur.
Carefully remove all burrs and clean the cut surface before installation.
c) Insertion of Flare Nut

2. Flare Connecting Procedures and Precautions

a) Make sure that the flare and union portions do not have any scar or dust, etc.
b) Correctly align the processed flare surface with the union axis.
c) Tighten the flare with designated torque by means of a torque wrench. The tightening torque for R410A is
the same as that for conventional R22. Incidentally, when the torque is weak, the gas leakage may occur.
When it is strong, the flare nut may crack and may be made non-removable. When choosing the
tightening torque, comply with values designated by manufacturers. Table 3-2-7 shows reference values.

NOTE :
When applying oil to the flare surface, be sure to use oil designated by the manufacturer.
If any other oil is used, the lubricating oils may deteriorate and cause the compressor to burn out.

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)

1. Never charge refrigerant exceeding the specified amount.

2. If the specified amount of refrigerant cannot be charged, charge refrigerant bit by bit in COOL mode.
3. Do not carry out additional charging.
When additional charging is carried out if refrigerant leaks, the refrigerant composition changes in
the refrigeration cycle, that is characteristics of the air conditioner changes, refrigerant exceeding the
specified amount is charged, and working pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high
pressure, and may cause a rupture or personal injury.

1. The indoor unit of the room (A room) in which thermo-off did not occur starts a continuous operation with the
setup number of revolution.
2. The indoor unit of the room (B room) in which thermo-off occurred starts intermittent operation of the indoor
fan.
The indoor fan operates with number of revolution of UL or SUL. Fan-ON time is 2 minutes and Fan-OFF
time is 2 to 4 minutes.
However if temperature of the indoor heat exchanger becomes over 55°C or more in B room, the indoor fan
stops the intermittent operation and starts continuous operation.
While heating operation is executed in 2 rooms, if room temperature reached the setup temperature in both
rooms and thermo-off occurred, both indoor units start intermittent operation of the indoor fan.

2. If the specified amount of refrigerant cannot be
charged, add the remaining refrigerant from the
charge port of the service valve at the gas side
while at the same time performing a cooling
operation.

Precautions to be heeded while the

refrigerant is being charged
• Charge the refrigerant while it is still in liquid form.
• Charging the refrigerant in the form of a gas will
change the composition of the refrigerant, making
normal operation impossible.

Precautions for adding refrigerant

• Use a scale having a precision with at least 10 g
per index line when adding the refrigerant. Do not
use a bathroom scale or similar instrument. Fig. 10-5-11
• Use liquid refrigerant when refilling the refrigerant.
Since the refrigerant is in liquid form, it can fill
quickly. Therefore, perform the Þlling operation NOTE:
carefully and insert the refrigerant gradually. Periodical inspections for refrigerant leaks may be
required depending on European or local legislation.

 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.

Precautions when inspecting the control section of the outdoor unit

NOTE:
A large-capacity electrolytic capacitor is used in the outdoor unit controller (inverter).
Therefore, if the power supply is turned off, charge (charging voltage DC280 to 380V) remains and discharging
takes a lot of time.
After turning off the power source, if touching the charging section before discharging, an electrical shock may
be caused. Discharge the electrolytic capacitor completely by using soldering iron, etc.

< Discharging method >

1. Remove the inverter cover (plating) by opening four mounting claws.
2. As shown below, connect the discharge resistance (approx. 100 Ω 40W) or plug of the soldering iron to
voltage between + – terminals of the C14 (“CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE” is indicated.) electrolytic capacitor

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

Turn OFF the breaker.

Disconnect two connectors (CN300) of the

outdoor fan motor from the outdoor P.C. board.

Does the fan rotate without trouble NO

CN300
when rotating it with hands?
YES

If the resistance value between

1 (Red lead) – 2 (White lead)
2 (White lead) – 3 (Black lead) NO
3 (Black lead) – 1 (Red lead)
of the connector
(CN300 : Motor winding)
is 20 to 22Ω, it is normal.

YES

Fan motor is normal. Fan motor error

(Outdoor P.C. board error)

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

12-1. Indoor Unit

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.

12 TS sensor (Suction pipe temperature sensor)

• Attachment
With its leads pointing downward, point the sensor in the
direction of the packed valve, and install it onto the straight
pipe part of the suction pipe.
13 TD sensor (Discharge pipe temperature sensor)
• Attachment
With its leads pointed downward, install the sensor facing downward onto the vertical straight pipe part
of the discharge pipe.
14 TO sensor (Outside air temperature sensor)
• Attachment
Insert the outdoor air temperature sensor into the holder, and install the holder onto the heat exchanger.
15 TGa/TGb sensor (Gas side pipe temperature sensor)
• Attachment
With its leads pointing downward, point the sensor in the direction of the front cabinet, and install the
sensor onto the straight pipe part of gas side pipe. Match the sensor protective tube colors with the
pipe marking colors and install the sensors. TGb is red.

CAUTION
During the installation work (and on its completion), take care not to damage the
coverings of the sensor leads on the edges of the metal plates or other parts. It is
dangerous for these coverings to be damaged since damage may cause electric
shocks and/or a fire.
After replacing the parts, check whether the positions where the sensors were installed are the
proper positions as instructed. The product will not be controlled properly and trouble will result if
the sensors have not been installed in their proper positions.
