Safety Considerations
Read these SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS carefully before performing any repair work. Comply with these safety symbols without fail.
Meanings of DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE Symbols:
DANGER .............. Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING ............ Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION ............. Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTE .................. Indicates situations that may result in
equipment or property-damage accidents only.
• If refrigerant gas is discharged during repair work, do not touch the discharged refrigerant gas. The refrigerant gas may cause frostbite.
• Use only pipes, flare nuts, tools, and other materials designed specifically for R410A refrigerant systems. Never use tools or materials designed for R22 refrigerant systems on an R410A refrigerant system. Doing so can cause a serious accident or an equipment failure.
• Check to see if the parts and wires are mounted and connected properly, and if the connections at the soldered or crimped terminals are secure. Improper installation and connections may cause excessive heat generation, fire, or electrical shock.
• Prior to disconnecting the suction or disc ha rge pipe from the compressor at the welded section, pump-down the refrigerant gas completely in a well­ventilated place first. If there is refrigerant gas or oil remaining inside the compressor, the refrigerant gas or oil can discharge when the pipe is being disconnected and it may cause an injury.
• Wear a safe ty helmet, gloves, and a safety be lt when working at an elevated height of more than 6.5 ft (2 m). Insufficient safety measures ma y cause a fall resulting in injury.
0.1 Safety Considerations for Repair
• If refrigerant gas leaks during repair or service, ventilate the area immediately. Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes into contact with flames. Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen. In the event of an accident, a massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, especially in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could occur leading to serious injury or death .
• Do not start or stop the air conditioner or heat pump operation by plugging o r unplug ging the po wer cab le plug if a plug is used. Plugging or unplugging the power cable plug to operate the equipment may cause an electrical shock or fire.
• Use parts listed in the service parts list and appropriate tools to conduct repair work. The use o f inappropriate parts or tools may cause an electrical shock or fire.
• Disconnect power before disassembling the equipment for repairs. Working on the equipment that is connected to the power supply may cause an electric shock. If it is necessary to supply power to the equipment to conduct repairs or to inspect the circuits, do not touch any electrically charged sections of the equipment.
• The step-up capacitor supplies high-voltage electricity to the electrical components of the outdoor unit. Discharge the capacitor completely before conducting repair work. A charged capacitor may cause an electrical shock.
• Do not mix air or gas other than the spec ified refrigerant R410A to the refrigerant system. If air enters the refrigerant systems, it can cause an excessive high pressure resulting in equipment damage and injury.
• When relocating the equipment, check if the new installation site has sufficient strength to withstand the weight of the equipment. If the installation site does not have sufficient strength and the equipment is not properly secured, the equipment may fall and cause injury.
• Securely fasten the outside unit terminal cover (panel). If the terminal cover/panel is not fastened properly, dust or water may enter the outside unit causing fire or electric shock.
• When relocating the system, keep the refrigerant circuit free from substances other than the specified refrigerant (R-410A) such as air. Any presence of air or other foreign substance in the refrigerant circuit can cause an abnormal pressure rise or rupture, resulting in injury.
• If refrigerant gas leaks, locate the leaking point and repair it before charging refrigerant. After charging refrigerant, check for refrigerant leaks. If the leaking point cannot be located and the repair work must be stopped, perform a pump-down and close the service valve to prevent the refrigerant gas from leaking into the room. The refrigerant gas itself is harmless, but it may generate toxic gases if it comes into contact with flames.

SiUS041111
• Do not repair the electrical components with wet hands. Working on the equipment with wet hands may cause an electrical shock.
• Do not clean the air conditioner or heat pump by splashing water on it. Washing the uni t with water may cause an electrical shock.
• Turn off the power when cleaning the equipment to prevent internal fans that rotate at high speed from starting suddenly as they can cause injury.
• Let the refrigerant lines cool down bef ore perf orming any repair work. Working on the unit when the refrigerant lines are hot may cause burns.
• All welding and cutting operations must be done in a well-ventilated place to prevent the accumulation of toxic fumes or possibly oxygen deficiency to occur.
• Check the ground ing bef ore repairing eq uipment in a humid or wet place to avoid electrical shocks. Improper grounding may cause an electrical shock.
• Measure the insulation resistance after the repair. The resistance must be 1M or higher. Faulty insulation
may cause an electrical shock.
• Check the drainage of the indoor unit after finishing repair work. Faulty drainage may cause water to enter the room resulting in wet floors and furniture.
left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall and cause injury. If the installation platform or frame has corroded, have it replaced. A corroded platform or frame may cause the unit to fall resulting in inju ry.
• If the unit has a power cable plug and it is dirty, clean the plug before securely inserting it into a power outlet. If the plug has a loose connection, tighten it or it may cause electrical shock or fire.
• After replacing the battery in the remote controller, dispose of the old battery to prevent children from swallowing it. If a child swallows the battery, see a doctor immediately.
• Never remove the fan guard of the unit. A fan rotating at high speed without the fan guard is very dangerous.
• Before cleaning the unit, stop the operation of the unit by turning the power off or by pulling the power cable plug out from its receptacle. Otherwise an electrical shock or injury may result.
• Do not wipe the controller operation panel with benzene, thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel may get discolored or the coating can peel off. If it is extremely dirty, soak a cloth in a water-diluted neutral detergent, squeeze it well, and wipe the panel clean. Then wipe it with another dry cloth.
• Do not tilt the unit when removing it. The w ater inside the unit may spill resulting in wet flo ors and furniture.
• Dismantling of the unit, disposal of the refrigerant, oil, and additional parts, should be done in accordance with the relevant local, state, and national regulations.
0.2 Safety Considerations for Users
• Never attempt to modify the equipment. Doing so can cause electrical shock, excessive heat generation, or fire.
• If the power cable and lead wires have scratches or have become deteriorated, have them replaced. Damaged cable and wires may cause an electrical shock or fire.
• Do not use a joined power cable or an e xtension cord, or share the same power outlet with other electrical appliances as it may cause an electrical shock or fire.
• Use an exclusive power circuit for the equipment. Insufficient circuit amperage capacity may cause an electrical shock or fire.
• Do not damage or modify the power cable. Damaged or modified power cables may cause an electrical shock or fire. Placing heavy items on the power cable or pulling the power cable may damage the cable.
• Check the unit foundation for damage on a continual basis, especially if it has been in use for a long time. If

1. Main Functions
1.1 Temperature Control
Definitions of Temperatures
Temperature Control
The definitions of temperatures are classified as following.
Room temperature: temperature of lower part of the roomSet temperature: temperature set by remote controllerRoom thermistor temperature: temperature detected by room temperature thermistorTarget temperature: temperature determined by microcomputer
The temperature of the room is detected by the room temperature thermistor. However, there is difference between the “temperature detected by room temperature thermistor” and the “temperature of lower part of the room”, depending on the type of the indoor unit or installation condition. Practically, the temperature control is done by the “target temperature appropriately adjusted for the indoor unit” and the “temperature detected by room temperature thermistor”.
1.2 Frequency Principle
Main Control Parameters
Additional Control Parameters
Function and Control 21
The compressor is frequency-controlled during normal operation. The target frequency is set by the following 2 parameters coming from the operating indoor unit:
The load condition of the operating indoor unitThe difference between the room thermistor temperature and the target temperature
The target frequency is adapted by additional parameters in the following cases:

Inverter Principle To regulate the capacity, a frequency control is needed. The inverter makes it possible to vary the
rotation speed of the compressor. The following table explains the conversion principle:
Phase Description
1 The supplied AC power source is converted into the DC power source for the present. 2 The DC power source is reconverted into the three phase AC power source with variable
frequency. When the frequency increases, the rotation speed of the compressor increases resulting in
an increased refrigerant circulation. This leads to a higher amount of the heat exchange per unit.
When the frequency decreases, the rotation speed of the compressor decreases resulting
in a decreased refrigerant circulation. This leads to a lower amount of the heat exchange per unit.
Drawing of
The following drawing shows a schematic view of the inverter principle:
Inverter
Inverter Features The inverter provides the following features:
The regulating capacity can be changed according to the changes in the outdoor temperature
and cooling / heating load.
Quick heating and quick cooling
The compressor rotational speed is increased when starting the heating (or cooling). This enables to reach the set temperature quickly.
Even during extreme cold weather, high capacity is achieved. It is maintained even when the
outdoor temperature is 2°C (35.6°F).
Comfortable air conditioning
A fine adjustment is integrated to keep the room temperature constant.
Energy saving heating and cooling
Once the set temperature is reached, the energy saving operation enables to maintain the room temperature at low power.

Auto-Swing The following table explains the auto swing process for cooling, dry, heating, and fan:
The large louver sends a large volume of air downward to the floor and provides an optimum control in cooling, dry, and heating mode.
Cooling / Dry Mode
During cooling or dry mode, the louver retracts into the indoor unit. Then, cool air can be blown far and distributed all over the room.
Heating Mode
During heating mode, the large louver directs airflow downward to spread the warm air to the entire room.

1.5 Program Dry Operation
Outline Program dry operation removes humidity while preventing the room temperature from lowering.
Since the microcomputer controls both the temperature and airflow rate, the temperature adjustment and fan adjustment buttons are inoperable in this mode.
Detail The microcomputer automatically sets the temperature and airflow rate. The difference between
the room thermistor temperature at start-up and the target temperature is divided into two zones. Then, the unit operates in the dry mode with an appropriate capacity for each zone to maintain the temperature and humidity at a comfortable level.

1.6 Automatic Operation
Outline Automatic Cooling / Heating Function
When the AUTO mode is selected with the remote controller, the microcomputer automatically determines the operation mode as cooling or heating according to the room temperature and the set temperature at start-up, and automatically operates in that mode. The unit automatically switches the operation mode to maintain the room temperature at the set temperature.
Detail Ts: set temperature (set by remote controller)
Tt: target temperature (determined by microcomputer) Tr: room thermistor temperature (detected by room temperature thermistor) C: correction value
1. The set temperature (Ts) determines the target temperature (Tt). (Ts = 18 ~ 30°C, 64.4 ~ 86°F).
2. The target temperature (Tt) is calculated as;
Tt = Ts + C
where C is the correction value
C = 0°C (0°F)
3. Thermostat ON/OFF point and mode switching point are as follows. Tr means the room thermistor temperature. (1) Heating Cooling switching point:
Tr Tt + 2.5°C (+4.5°F)
(2) Cooling Heating switching point:
Tr < Tt – 2.5°C (–4.5°F)
(3) Thermostat ON/OFF point is the same as the ON/OFF point of cooling or heating operation.
4. During initial operation

3.11.1 Fully Closing with Power ON
The electronic expansion valve is initialized when turning on the power. The opening position is set and the pressure equalization is developed.
3.11.2 Pressure Equalizing Control
When the compressor is stopped, the pressure equalizing control is activated. The electronic expansion valve opens, and develops the pressure equalization.
3.11.3 Opening Limit Control
Outline A maximum and minimum opening of the electronic expansion valve are limited.
Detail
The electronic expansion valve is fully closed when cooling operation stops, and is opened at fixed degree during defrosting.
3.11.4 Starting Operation Control
The electronic expansion valve opening is controlled when the operation starts, and prevents the superheating or liquid compression.
3.11.5 Control when the frequency changes
When the target discharge pipe temperature control is active, if the target frequency is changed for a specified value in a certain time period, the target discharge pipe temperature control is canceled and the target opening of the electronic expansion valve is changed according to the shift.
3.11.6 High Discharge Pipe Temperature Control
When the compressor is operating, if the discharge pipe temperature exceeds a certain value, the electronic expansion valve opens and the refrigerant runs to the low pressure side. This procedure lowers the discharge pipe temperature.

3.11.7 Control for Disconnection of the Discharge Pipe Thermistor
Outline The disconnection of the discharge pipe thermistor is detected by comparing the discharge pipe
temperature with the condensation temperature. If the discharge pipe thermistor is disconnected, the electronic expansion valve opens according to the outdoor temperature and the operation frequency, and operates for a specified time, and then stops. After 3 minutes of waiting, the operation restarts and checks if the discharge pipe thermistor is disconnected. If the discharge pipe thermistor is disconnected, the system stops after operating for a specified time. If the disconnection is detected repeatedly, then the system is shut down. When the compressor runs for 60 minutes without any error, the error counter is reset.
Detail When the starting control finishes, the detection timer for disconnection of the discharge pipe
thermistor (720 seconds) starts. When the timer is over, the following adjustment is made.
1. When the operation mode is cooling When the following condition is fulfilled, the discharge pipe thermistor disconnection is ascertained. Discharge pipe temperature + 6°C (+ 10.8°F) < outdoor heat exchanger temperature
2. When the operation mode is heating When the following condition is fulfilled, the discharge pipe thermistor disconnection is ascertained. Discharge pipe temperature + 6°C (+ 10.8°F) < indoor heat exchanger temperature
Adjustment when the thermistor is disconnected
When the disconnection is ascertained, the compressor continues operation for 9 minutes and then stops. When the compressor stops repeatedly, the system is shut down.
3.11.8 Target Discharge Pipe Temperature Control
The target discharge pipe temperature is obtained from the indoor and outdoor heat exchanger temperature, and the electronic expansion valve opening is adjusted so that the actual discharge pipe temperature becomes close to the target discharge pipe temperature. (Indirect SH (superheating) control using the discharge pipe temperature)
The electronic expansion valve opening and the target discharge pipe temperature are adjusted every 20 seconds. The target discharge pipe temperature is controlled by indoor heat exchanger temperature and outdoor heat exchanger temperature. The opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled by followings.

compressor.
Detail  If the OL (compressor head) temperature exceeds 120 ~ 130°C (248 ~ 266°F), the system
shuts down the compressor.
If the inverter current exceeds about 15 A, the system shuts down the compressor.
The upper limit of the current decreases when the outdoor temperature exceeds a certain level.
3.12.3 Refrigerant Shortage Control
Outline I: Detecting by power consumption
If the power consumption is below the specified value and the frequency is higher than the specified frequency, it is regarded as refrigerant shortage. The power consumption is low comparing with that in the normal operation when refrigerant is insufficient, and refrigerant shortage is detected by checking a power consumption.
II: Detecting by discharge pipe temperature
If the discharge pipe temperature is higher than the target discharge pipe temperature, and the electronic expansion valve is fully open for more than the specified time, it is regarded as refrigerant shortage.
48 Function and Control
III Detecting by the difference of temperature
If the difference between suction and discharge temperature is smaller than the specified value, it is regarded as refrigerant shortage.

System Configuration SiUS041111
1. System Configuration
After installation and test operation of the room air conditioner are completed, the air conditioner should be handled and operated as described in the following pages. Every user should be informed on the correct method of operation and how to check if it can cool (or heat) well, and how to use it efficiently.
Providing instructions to the user can reduce requests for servicing by 80%. However proficient the installation and operating functions of the AC system are, the customer may fault either the room air conditioner or its installation work when it is actually due to improper handling. The installation work and the handing-over of the unit can only be considered completed when its handling has been fully explained to the user without using technical terms, and while imparting full knowledge of the equipment.

Since this air conditioner heats the room by taking heat from outdoor air to indoors, the heating capacity becomes smaller in lower outdoor temperatures. If the heating effect is insufficient, it is recommended to use another heating appliance in combination with the air conditioner.
• The heat pump system heats the room by circulating hot air around all parts of the room. After the start of HEAT operation, it takes some time before the room gets warmer.
• In HEAT operation, frost may occur on the outdoor unit and lower the heating capacity. In that case, the system switches into
defrosting operation to take away the frost.
• During defrosting operation, hot air does not flow out of indoor unit.
• This air conditioner cools the room by releasing the heat in the room outside. Therefore, the cooling performance of the air conditioner may be degraded if the outdoor temperature is high.
• The computer chip works to rid the room of humidity while maintaining the temperature as much as possible. It automatically
controls temperature and airflow rate, so manual adjustment of these functions is unavailable.
• In AUTO operation, the system selects an appropriate operation mode (COOL or HEAT) based on the room and outside
temperatures and starts the operation.
• The system automatically reselects setting at a regular interval to bring the room temperature to user-setting level.
