Once the compressor stops operating, it will not restart for 180 seconds to protect the compressor.
Therefore, if the operating compressor is shut down from the remote
control and then turned back on immediately after, the compressor will
restart after a preset delay time.
(The indoor unit will restart operation immediately after the ON switch
is operated on the remote control.)
1.2. Cold air prevention control
When the air to air heat pump starts up in heating mode, the indoor
unit fan will not operate until the temperature of the indoor unit heat
exchanger reaches about 23C in order to prevent cold air from blow-
ing into the room.
Also, the indoor unit fan operates at low speed until the temperature of
the indoor unit heat exchanger reaches about 38C so that people in
the room will not feel chilly air flow.

1.3. Indoor unit heat exchanger freeze prevention control
If the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger remains below
0C for 4 consecutive minutes during cooling or dehumidifying operation, the compressor operation stops temporarily in order to prevent
freezing.
When the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger rises to 2C
or higher after about 180 seconds, the compressor restarts and
resumes normal operation.
1.4. Outdoor unit 2-wa y valve freeze prevention control
If the temperature of the outdoor unit 2-way valve remains below 0C
for 10 consecutive minutes during cooling or dehumidifying operation,
the compressor operation stops temporarily in order to prevent freezing.
When the temperature of the 2-way valve rises to 10C or higher after
about 180 seconds, the compressor restarts and resumes normal
operation.

1.5. Indoor unit overheat prevention control
During heating operation, if the temperature of the indoor unit heat
exchanger exceeds the indoor unit heat exchanger overheat prevention temperature (about 45 to 54C) which is determined by the operating frequency and operating status, the operating frequency is
decreased by about 4 to 15 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every
60 seconds until the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger
drops below the overheat protection temperature.
Once the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger drops below
the overheat protection temperature, the operating frequency is
increased by about 4 to 10 Hz every 60 seconds until the normal operation condition resumes.
If the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger exceeds the overheat protection temperature for 60 seconds at minimum operating frequency, the compressor stops operating and then restarts after about
180 seconds, and the abovementioned control is repeated.
1.6. Outdoor unit overheat prevention control
During cooling operation, if the temperature of the outdoor unit heat
exchanger exceeds the outdoor unit heat exchanger overheat prevention temperature (about 55C), the operating frequency is decreased
by about 4 to 15 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every 60 seconds until the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger drops to
about 54C or lower.
Once the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger drops to
about 54C or lower, the operating frequency is increased by about 4
to 10 Hz every 60 seconds until the normal operation condition
resumes.
If the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger exceeds the outdoor unit heat exchanger overheat protection temperature for (120 sec
: outdoor temperature 40C 60 sec : outdoor temperature < 40C)
at minimum operating frequency, the compressor stops operating and
then restarts after about 180 seconds, and the abovementioned control is repeated.
1.7. Compressor overheat prevention contro l
If the temperature of the compressor exceeds the compressor overheat prevention temperature (110C), the operation frequency is
decreased by about 4 to 10 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every
60 seconds until the temperature of the compressor drops below the
overheat protection temperature (100C).
Once the temperature of the compressor drops below the overheat
protection temperature, the operating frequency is increased by about
4 to 10 Hz every 60 seconds until the normal operation condition
resumes.
If the temperature of the compressor exceeds the overheat protection
temperature (for 120 seconds in cooling operation or 60 seconds in
heating operation) at minimum operating frequency, the compressor
stops operating and then restarts after about 180 seconds, and the
abovementioned control is repeated.
1.8. Startup control
When the air to air heat pump starts in the cooling or heating mode, if
the room temperature is 2C higher than the set temperature (in cooling operation) or 3.5C lower (in heating operation), the air to air heat
pump operates with the operating frequency at maximum. Then, when
the set temperature is reached, the air to air heat pump operates at the
operating frequency determined by fuzzy logic calculation, then enters
the normal control mode after a while.

If the current flowing in the air to air heat pump exceeds the peak control current the operation frequency is decreased until the current
value drops below the peak control current regardless of the frequency
control demand issued from the indoor unit based on the room temperature.
1.10. Outdoor unit fan delay control
The compressor stops immediately after cooling, dehumidifying or
heating operation is shut down, but the outdoor unit fan continues
operation for 50 seconds before it stops.
1.11. Defrosting
1.11.1 Reverse defrosting
The defrost operation starts when the compressor operating time
exceeds 20 minutes during heating operation, as shown below, and
the outside air temperature and the outdoor unit heat exchanger temperature meet certain conditions. When the defrost operation starts,
the indoor unit fan stops. The defrost operation stops by the state of
cyde temperature or the defrosting time exceeds 6 minutes.
1.12. ON timer
The ON timer can be activated by pressing the ON timer button. When
the ON timer is activated, the operation start time is adjusted based on
fuzzy logic calculations 1 hour before the set time so that the room
temperature reaches the set temperature at the set time.
12LRN
1.14. Power ON start
If a jumper cable is inserted in the location marked with HAJP on the
indoor unit control printed circuit board (control PCB), connecting the
power cord to an AC outlet starts the air to air heat pump in either cooling or heating mode, which is determined automatically by the room
temperature sensor.
When a circuit breaker is used to control the ON/OFF operation,
please insert a jumper as described above.
1.15. Self-diagnostic malfunction code display
1.15.1 Indoor unit
1) When a malfunction is confirmed, a flashing malfunction code number is displayed to indicate the type of malfunction.
When the air to air heat pump is in non-operating condition, holding
down AUX button for more than 5 seconds activates the malfunction code display function.
The operation continues only in the case of a serial open-circuit,
and the main relay turns off after 30 seconds if the open-circuit condition remains.
In the case of a serial short-circuit, the air to air heat pump continues operating without a malfunction code display.
The malfunction information is stored in memory, and can be
recalled later and shown on display.
2) The self-diagnostic memory can be recalled and shown on the display by stopping the operation and holding down AUX button for
more than 5 seconds.
3) The content of self-diagnosis (malfunction mode) is indicated by a
flashing number.
(For details, refer to the troubleshooting section.)
1.15.2 Outdoor unit
If a malfunction occurs, LED1 on the outdoor unit flashes in 0.2-second intervals as shown below.
1.13. OFF timer
The OFF timer can be activated by pressing the OFF timer button.
When the OFF timer is set, the operation stops after the set time.
When this timer is set, the compressor operating frequency lowers for
quieter operation, and the room temperature is gradually varied after
one hour (reduced 1C three times (max. 3C) in heating, or increased
0.3C three times (max. 1C) in cooling or dehumidifying operation) so
that the room temperature remains suitable for comfortable sleeping.
1.16. Information about auto mode
In the AUTO mode, the temperature setting and mode are automatically selected according to the room temperature and outdoor temperature when the unit is turned on.
During operation, if the outdoor temperature changes, the temperature
settings will automatically slide as shown in the chart.

1.18. Dehumidifying operatio n co ntr ol
If the room temperature is 26C or higher when dehumidifying operation starts, the dehumidifying operation provides a low cooling effect in
accordance with the room temperature setting automatically determined based on the outside air operation. (The setting value is the
same as the set temperature for cooling operation in the auto mode.)
If the room temperature is lower than 26C when dehumidifying operation starts, the dehumidifying operation minimizes the lowering of the
room temperature.
1.19. Self Clean operation
Heating or Fan operation and Cluster operation are performed simultaneously.
The judgment of whether Heating or Fan operation is used is based on
the outside air temperature at 3 minutes after the start of internal
cleaning.
The operation stops after 40 minutes.
1.20. Plasmacluster Ion function
Plasmacluster lon generator inside the air conditioner will release positive and negative plasmacluster ions into the room. Plasmacluster
ions released into the air will reduce some airborne mold.

2. Outline of PA M circuit
2.1. PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation)
The PAM circuit varies the compressor drive voltage and controls the rotation speed of the compressor.
The IGBT shown in the block diagram charges the energy (electromotive force) generated by the reactor to the electrolytic capacitor for the inverter
by turning ON and OFF.
When the IGBT is ON, an electric current flows to the IGBT via the reactor (L5) and diode bridge (DB2).
When the IGBT turns OFF, the energy stored while the IGBT was ON is charged to the capacitor via the diode bridge (DB1).
As such, by varying the ON/OFF duty of the IGBT, the output voltage is varied.
2.2. High power factor control circ uit
This circuit brings the operating current waveform closer to the waveform of commercial power supply voltage to maintain a high power factor.
Because of the capacitor input, when the PAM circuit is OFF, the phase of the current waveform deviates from the voltage waveform as shown below.
To prevent this deviation, a current is supplied during the periods indicated by "O" in the diagram.
To determine the length of period to supply a current, the zero-cross timing of the AC input voltage is input to the microcomputer via the clock circuit.
The power source frequency is also determined at the same time.
The IGBT turns ON after the time length determined by the zero-cross point to supply a current to the IGBT via the reactor.
This brings the current waveform closer to the voltage waveform in phase.
As described above, the ON/OFF operation of the IGBT controls the increase/decrease of the compressor power supply voltage (DC voltage) to
improve the compressor efficiency and maintain a high power factor by keeping the current phase closer to that of the supply voltage.

2.2.1 Detailed explanation of PAM drive circuit sequence
2.2.2 AC clock (zero-cross) judgment
• The clock circuit determines the time from one rising point of the clock waveform to the next rising point.
The detected clock waveform is used to judge the power source frequency (50 Hz).
• The zero-cross of the AC voltage is judged as the rising of the clock waveform, as shown in the diagram above.
2.2.3 IGBT ON start time (delay time B)
• Based on the zero-cross of the AC voltage, the IGBT turns ON after a delay time set according to the power source frequency.
2.2.4 IGBT ON time (C)
• After the above delay time, the IGBT turns ON to supply a current to the reactor.
• The ON time of the IGBT determines the amount of energy (level of DC voltage rise) supplied to the reactor.
DC voltage level in each operation mode (varies depending on external load conditions)
– Cooling operation --- 260 to 280 V
– Heating operation --- 260 to 290 V
2.3. PAM protection circuit
To prevent excessive voltage of PAM output from damaging the IPM and electrolytic capacitor as well as the control printed circuit board (PCB), this
circuit monitors the PAM output voltage and turns off the PAM control signal and PAM drive immediately when an abnormal voltage output is generated. At the same time, it shuts off the compressor operation.
The protection voltage level is as follows.
2.3.1 Details of troubleshooting procedure for PAM
1) PAM shutdown due to error
1) When the DC voltage detection circuit sends a signal exceeding the specified voltage to the microcomputer
DC voltage of 400 V or higher (detection circuit input voltage of about 8.4 V or higher) [IC8 pin (4)]
– When an error is detected
• PAM IGBT turns OFF.
• Compressor turns OFF.
• All units shut down completely when the error occurs four times.
2) When the outdoor unit clock waveform differs from the specified value immediately before the PAM IGBT turns ON
When there is no clock waveform input
When a clock signal of other specified power source frequency (50 Hz) is input
– When an error is detected
• PAM IGBT does not turn ON.
• Compressor operates normally.
• Complete shutdown does not occur.
2 – 11
12LRN
2) PAM error indication
In case of error “1)”
– An error signal is sent to the indoor unit as soon as an error is generated.
• Malfunction No. 14-0 is indicated when the error code is called out by the indoor unit's self-diagnosis function.
– The LED on the outdoor unit flashes 14 times when an error is generated.
• The LED continues flashing in the 14-time cycle even after the compressor stops operating.
• The LED turns off (data is deleted from the memory) when the outdoor unit power is turned off.
In case of error “2)”
– An error signal is sent to the indoor unit as soon as an error is judged.
• Malfunction No. 14-1 is indicated when the error code is called out by the indoor unit's self-diagnosis function.
– The LED on the outdoor unit flashes 14 times when an error is judged.
• The LED on the outdoor unit flashes in normal pattern when the compressor stops operating.
(Compressor OFF from remote control)
* When a user complains that the air to air heat pump does not provide sufficient cool air or warm air
In addition to conventional error-generating reasons, there is a possibility that the PAM IGBT does not turn ON even if the compressor is operating.
In that case, the DC voltage does not rise even though the compressor is operating.
The IPM for compressor drive is made by Mitsubishi Electric.
The power supply for the IPM drive and the shunt resistance for overcurrent detection, are provided outside the IPM.
3.1. IPM drive power supply circuit
The power supply for the upper-phase IGBT (HU, HV, HW) drive employs a bootstrap system, and provides power to the upper-phase IC.
The 15-V power supply for the lower-phase IC is provided by the control printed circuit board (PCB).
3.1.1 Brief explanation of bootstrap system (single power drive system)
To supply power to the upper-phase IC, the microcomputer (IC1) turns ON the lower-phase IGBT (LU, LV, LW).
This results in a charging current that flows to the electrolytic capacitor of each upper-phase IC input and charges the bootstrap capacitor with a 15-V
current.
The power supply for the subsequent stages is charged while the lower-phase IGBT is ON in ordinary compressor drive control.

3.1.2 DC overcurrent detection circuit
When a current of about 20 A or higher flows through the shunt resistance (R49) on the control printed circuit board (PCB), the voltage at this resistance is input to IPM CIN pin (15). Then, the gate voltage of the lower-phase IGBT (LU, LV, LW) inside the IPM turns OFF to cut off the overcurrent. At
the same time, an L output of more then 20s. is generated from IPM Fo pin (14), and this results in an L input to overcurrent detection input pin (17)
of the microcomputer (IC1) and turns OFF the PWM signal output (IC1 pins (20) through (25)) to the IGBT gate.

4. 120 energizing control (digital position detection control)
This control system detects the digital position detection signal and adjusts the rate of acceleration/deceleration accordingly.
The motor's induced voltage waveform is input to the comparator in the form of PWM-switched pulse waveform, and a position detection signal is
generated as a reference voltage equaling 1/2 of 280 VDC. However, since there is no induced voltage waveform when the PWM waveform is OFF,
the microcomputer performs internal processing so that detection is enabled only when it is ON. Based on the detected position signal, actual PWM
waveform output timing is determined. Since it does not use a filter circuit, the detection accuracy is high.
The microcomputer performs internal processing to cancel spike voltage during the regenerative process.
Furthermore, even if the induced voltage is low, position detection is still possible, thus allowing sensor-less operation at low rotation speed in the initial stage of operation. This reduces the starting current and improves the IPM reliability.
5. 180 Energizing Control
This is the control system to moderate the speed by the current phase difference for higher efficiency and lower noise of the compressor. The current
phase difference control is the control system paid attention to the interrelation between efficiency and phase gap generated by the applied voltage of
motor and current in the coil of motor as shown in the figure below.
This control is the V/F drive system independent of the location of rotor, detecting the phase difference between driving voltage phase and line current
phase flowing in motor coil, and controls the modulation rate data to get the phase difference at the best efficiency.

1. Cooling in 40 Hz fixed mode
To operate the outdoor unit independently, short-circuit the sections indicated by arrows in the diagram below with an adapter, and apply 220-240
VAC between (1) and (N) on the terminal board of the outdoor unit. This allows the outdoor unit to be operated in cooling mode independently.
(Do not operate the outdoor unit in this condition for an extended period of time.)

[6] MALFUNCTION (PARTS) CHECK METHOD
1. Procedure for determining defective outdoor unit IPM/compressor
The following flow chart shows a procedure for locating the cause of a malfunction when the compressor does not start up and a DC overcurrent indication error occurs.
CAUTION: Please take care for electrical shock when you work to change defective parts or disconnect wires of defective application.
The outdoor unit has energy changed for a while even after unplugging the power supply cord.
After changing the part or unit, please retry check procedure from the beginning.

2. Procedure for determining defective expansion valve
Measure resistance in expansion valve coil.
Insert checker shown at left into
connector (CN12) on control PWB, and
operate air conditioner.
If frost accumulates on 2-way valve after 10 to 20
minutes of cooling operation, then thermistors with
yellow and black lead wires may be defective. Check
Turn off the power, let the inverter electrolytic capacitor (C9, C10) discharge completely, and remove the capacitor from the control printed circuit
board (PWB). First, check the case for cracks, deformation and other damages. Then, using a needle-type tester, check continuity.
The tester needle should move on the scale and slowly returns to the original position. The tester needle should move in
the same way when polarities are reversed. (When measurement is taken with the polarities reversed, the tester needle
exceeds the scale range. Therefore, let the capacitor discharge before measurement.)

Reason
The oscilloscope (chassis ground) has the same electric potential as the 0-V probe. The
entire electronic control section of the outdoor unit has a voltage potential difference from
the ground as shown in the above diagram. When the oscilloscope is set up, the 0-V line
and the ground voltage (ground) will be short-circuited, resulting in an excessive current
flow to cause damage to the oscilloscope or indoor electric circuits.
Do not touch the
cabinet or bring metal
parts into contact with
the cabinet.
Danger!!
Do not connect
the grounding
wire.
3. Caution in checking printed circuit boards (PWB)
3.1. Non-insulated control circuit
The GND terminals of the low-voltage circuits (control circuits for microcomputer and thermistors and drive circuits for expansion valve and relays) on
the control printed circuit board (PWB) are connected to the compressor drive power supply (320-VDC negative terminal). Therefore, exercise utmost
caution to prevent electric shock.
If a measuring instrument used for the test is grounded, its chassis (ground) has the same electric potential as the 0-V probe. Since non-insulated circuits have the following voltage potential difference from the ground, connection of the grounding wire results in a short-circuit between the 0-V line
and the ground, thus allowing an excessive current to flow to the tester to cause damage.
If the sheaths of the thermistor lead wires or expansion valve lead wires inside the outdoor unit become damaged due to pinching by the front panel
or other metal parts or contacting a pipe, a high voltage can flow and destroy the circuits. To prevent these problems, carefully conduct assembly
work.
