5-1. COOLING OPERATION
5-1-1 COOLING CAPACITY CONTROL
A sensor (room temperature thermistor) built in the indoor unit will usually perceive
difference or variation between a set temperature and present room temperature, and
controls the operation frequency of the compressor.
* If the room temperature is 2 degC higher than a set temperature,
the compressor operation frequency will attain to maximum performance.
* If the room temperature is 2.5 degC lower than a set temperature, the compressor will be stopped.
* When the room temperature is between +2 degC to -2.5 degC of the setting temperature,
the compressor frequency is controlled within the range shown in Table1.
However, the maximum frequency is limited in the range shown in Figure 1 based on the
fan speed mode and the outdoor temperature.

A sensor (room temperature thermistor) built in the indoor unit will usually perceive
difference or variation between a set temperature and present room temperature, and
controls the operation frequency of the compressor.
* If the room temperature is lower 3 degC than a set temperature,
the compressor operation frequency will attain to maximum performance.
* If the room temperature is higher 2.5 degC than a set temperature, the compressor
will be stopped.
* When the room temperature is between +2.5 degC to -3 degC of the setting temperature,
the compressor frequency is controlled within the range shown in Table2.
However, the maximum frequency is limited in the range shown in Figure 2 based on
the outdoor temperature.
The compressor rotation frequency shall change according to set temperature and room
temperature variation which the room temperature sensor of the indoor unit has detected
as shown in the Fig 3.

When the air conditioner is set to the AUTO mode by remote control, operation starts in the optimum
mode from among the HEATING, COOLING, DRY and MONITORING modes. During operation,
the optimum mode is automatically swiched in accordance with temperature changes.
The temperature can be set between 18°C and 30°C in 1 degC steps.
When operation starts, only the indoor and outdoor fans are operated for 1 minute.

At the maximum output, ECONOMY OPERATION is approximately 70% of normal air conditioner operation
for cooling and heating.
When ECONOMY OPERATION is performed during the cooling mode,dehumidification is improved.
This function is especially convenient when you want to remove the humidity in the room
without significantly lowering the room temperature.
During ECONOMY OPERATION, the thermostat setting automatically changes according to the temperature
to avoid Unnecessary cooling and heating for the most economical operation.
If the room is not cooled (or heated) well during economy operation, select normal operation.
During the monitor period in the AUTO mode, the air conditioner operation will not change
to ECONOMY OPERATION even if ECONOMY OPERATION is selected by pressing the ECONOMY button.

1. DISCHARGE GAS TEMPERATURE OVER RISE PREVENTION CONTROL
1-1. For AR*A12/ 14/ 18/ 24LATN
The discharge gas thermosensor (discharge thermistor : Outdoor side) will detect discharge gas
temperature.
When the discharge temperature becomes higher than 104°C, the compressor frequency
is decreased 20 Hz, and it continues to decrease the frequency for 20 Hz every 120 seconds until
the temperature becomes lower than 101°C.
When the discharge temperature becomes lower than 101°C, the control of the compressor
frequency is released.
When the discharge temperature becomes higher than 110°C, the compressor stops
1-2. For AR*A36/ 45LATN
The discharge gas thermosensor (discharge thermistor : Outdoor side) will detect discharge gas
temperature.
When the discharge temperature becomes higher than 105°C, the compressor frequency
is decreased 10 Hz, and it continues to decrease the frequency for 10 Hz every 120 seconds until
the temperature becomes lower than 105°C.
When the discharge temperature becomes lower than 100°C, the control of the compressor
frequency is released.
When the discharge temperature becomes higher than 115°C, the compressor stops
2. CURRENT RELEASE CONTROL
2-1. For AR*A12/ 14/ 18/ 24LATN

6-1. R410A TOOLS
This air conditioner used R410A.
For installation and servicing, it is necessary to prepare the
tools and machines that are different from the previous
refrigerant.
This prevents an oxide film from forming in the pipe silveralloy brazing work by turning the air out of the pipe and
preventing the inside combustion.
It is always compulsory to change the liquid, because
R410A is a mixed refrigerant and there is some fear that a
mixing ratio changes. In order to avoid the refrigerant from
returning to the compressor in a liquid state, the refrigerant
can be charged instead of giving a load to the compressor
with a safety charger.
The control valve prevents the refrigerant from spouting
when it is removed, as the charging hose side and the service port side are possible to open and close at the same
time.
To remove moisture from the refrigerating cycle completely, it is necessary to perform appropriate vacuum drying.
For that reason, vacuum conditions can be confirmed certainly.
The pipe must be properly pressure rated for R410A
The pipe must be an air-conditioning refrigerant pipe.

6-5. DEFFERENCE FROM CONVENTIONAL MODEL (R22) AND PRECAUTIONS
OIL
• Use new synthetic oils such as ester because HFC series refrigerant has less solubility with mineral oils
conventionally used for R22.
• As these new synthetic oils are easily influenced by moisture and dusts, they must be treated more care-
fully than the conventional lubricating oils.
CAUTION
For installation/servicing, take more precautions than the case of conventional refrigerants to avoid moisture
and dusts entering the refrigerant circuit. Also, for storing parts, more precautions must be taken.
COMPRESSOR
• Use better grade of material for sliding parts for securing good lubrication of sliding part as HFC
refrigerant does not contain chloride.
• Review insulating materials
• Increase pressure resistance strength
CAUTION
Check if the compressor is suitable for the refrigerant (model) when replacing. Complete welding within 15minutes
after opening the cap when replacing.
HEAT EXCHANGER
• Review the water,contaminants controlling level
• Use thinner tube to increase pressure Increase capacity for resistance strength (only outdoor unit)
improving performance
CAUTION
During storage, due care must be taken so that foreign matters such as dust and water do not enter.
4-WAY VALVE
• Review materials
CAUTION
Check if the valve is suitable for the refrigerant (model) when replacing.
2, 3-WAY VALVE
• Review material O-ring, valve core seal for securing suitability with oil.
CAUTION
Check if the valve is suitable for the refrigerant (model) when replacing.
Check Valve
• Review materials
•
Change shape of pipe ends to increase pressure resistance strength.
CAUTION
Check if the valve is suitable for the refrigerant (model) when replacing.
Other Piping
•
Review the water, contaminants controlling level.
•
Review thickness of pipes.
CAUTION
During storage, due care must be taken so that foreign matters such as dust and water do not enter.
