SAFETY DURING REPAIR WORK
1. Disconnect the power cord plug
from the power outlet before starting
the work.
2. If it is necessary to replace any parts they should be replaced with respective genuine parts for the unit, and
the replacement must be effected in correct manner according to the instructions in the Service Manual of
the unit.
If the contacts of electrical parts
are defective, replace the
electrical parts without trying to
repair them.
First, I must disconnect
the power cord plug
from the power outlet.
3. After completion of repairs the initial state
should be restored.
4. Lead wires should be connected and laid as
in the initial state.
5. Modification of the unit by user should
absolutely be prohibited.
6. Tools and measuring instruments for use in repairs or inspection should be accurately calibrated in advance.
7. After repair, be careful to prevent the occurence of any accident such as electrical shock, leakage of
current, or bodily injury due to the dropping of any part.
8. To check the insulation of the unit, measure the insulation resistance between the power cord plug and
grounding terminal of the unit. The insulation resistance should be 1M
DC megger-tester.
9. Check the initial location of installation.
If it is found not strong enough or unsafe, the initial location should be reinforced or the unit should be
reinstalled at a new location.
10. Inflammable materials should never
be placed near the location of
installation.
or more as measured by a 500V
DANGER
11. Check the grounding to see whether
it is proper or not, and if it is found
improper, connect the ground
terminal to earth.

WORKING STANDARDS FOR PREVENTING BREAKAGE OF SEMICONDUCTORS
1. Scope
The standards provide for carrying and handling semiconductors during maintenance and handing.
(They apply the same to handling of abnormal goods such as rejected goods being returned).
2. Object parts
(1) Micro computer
(2) Integrated circuits (IC)
(3) Field-effect transistors (FET)
(4) PCBs or the like on which the parts mentioned in (1) and (2) of this paragraph are equipped.
3. Items to be observed in handling
(1) Use a conductive container for carrying and storing of parts. (Rejected goods should be handled in
the same way).
A conductive polyvinyl bag
IC
Fig. 1. Conductive Container
(2) When any part is handled uncovered (in counting, packing and the like), the person handling must always
earth himself. (Earth yourself by passing 1M ohm earth resistance through a ring or bracelet).
(3) Be careful not to touch the parts with your clothing when you hold a part even if a body earth is being
used.
(4) Be sure to place a part on a metal plate with grounding.
(5) Turn off power when repairing a PCB.
Repair the PCB on a grounded metal plate.

measuring instrument short-circuit a load circuit.

CAUTION
!
1. In quiet or stopping operation, slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle may be heard, this noise
is normal for the operation.
2. During Thunderstorms, it is recommended to stop the operation and to disconnect the power cord plug
from the power outlet.
3. The room air conditioner does not start automatically after recovery from power failure to prevent the
fuse from blowing. Press the START/STOP button after 3 minutes after the unit has stopped.
4. When the room air conditioner is stopped by the thermostat or after miss-operation, the cooling and heating
operation may not start for 3 minutes. This is not abnormal and is the result of the operation of IC delay
circuit. The IC delay circuit ensures that there is no danger of blowing fuse or damaging parts even if
operation is restarted accidentally.
5. This room air conditioner should not be used for cooling operation when the outside temperature is
below 10°C (50°F).
6.This room air conditioner (the reverse cycle) should not be used when the outside temperature is below
–10°C (14°F). If the reverse cycle is used under this condition the outside heat exchanger may become
frosted and efficiency will fall.
7. When the outside heat exchanger is frosted, the frost is melted by operating the hot gas system. In this
condition the fan will stop and the vapour may rise from the outside heat exchanger.

When the Air Conditioner has been operated for a long time with the capillary tubes clogged or crushed or
with too little coolant, check the colour of the refrigerant oil inside the compressor. If the colour change
is conspicuous, replace the compressor.
