[3] FUNCTION
1. Function
1.1. Startup control
The main relay remains off during the first 45 seconds (first safety time) immediately after the power cord is plugged into an AC outlet in order to disable outdoor unit operation and protect outdoor unit electric components.
1.2. Restart control
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.)

1.3. Cold air prevention control
When the air conditioner starts up in heating mode, the indoor unit fan will not operate until the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger reaches about 23°C in order to prevent cold air from blowing into the room.
Also, the indoor unit fan operates at low speed until the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger reaches about 38°C so that people in the room will not feel chilly air flow.

1.6. Outdoor unit 2-way valve freeze prevention control
If the temperature of the outdoor unit 2-way valve remains below 0°C 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 10°C or higher after about 180 seconds, the compressor restarts and resumes normal operation.
1.7. 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 54°C) 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.
1.8. 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 55°C), 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 54°C or lower.
Once the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger drops to about 54°C 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 40°C • 60 sec : outdoor temperature < 40°C) at minimum operating frequency, the compressor stops operating and then restarts after about 180 seconds, and the abovementioned con­trol is repeated.
1.4. Odor prevention control
When the air conditioner starts up in cooling mode, the discharged air temperature is lowered slightly, and for the reduction of unpleasant odors the operation of the indoor unit fan is delayed 60 seconds if the automatic fan speed mode in cooling mode is set.
1.5. Indoor unit heat exchanger freeze prevention control
If the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger remains below 0°C 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 2°C or higher after about 180 seconds, the compressor restarts and resumes normal operation.
1.9. Compressor overheat prevention control
If the temperature of the compressor exceeds the compressor over­heat prevention temperature (110°C), 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 (100°C).
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.

Cooling/dehumidifying operation
When the air conditioner starts in the cooling or heating mode, if the room temperature is 2°C higher than the set temperature (in cooling operation) or 3.5°C lower (in heating operation), the air conditioner operates with the operating frequency at maximum. Then, when the set temperature is reached, the air conditioner operates at the operat­ing frequency determined by fuzzy logic calculation, then enters the normal control mode after a while.
1.11. Peak control
If the current flowing in the air conditioner exceeds the peak control current (see the table below), 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.
AY-XP12FR-N Approx. 6.4 A Approx. 7.5 A
1.12. 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.
1.13. Defrosting
1.13.1 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 when the out­door unit heat exchanger temperature rises to about 13C or higher or the defrosting time exceeds 10 minutes.
Start of heating operation
1.14. 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.
1.15. 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 1°C three times (max. 3°C) in heating, or increased
0.3°C three times (max. 1°C) in cooling or dehumidifying operation) so that the room temperature remains suitable for comfortable sleeping.

1.16. 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 conditioner 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.
1.17. Self-diagnostic malfunction code display
1.17.1 Indoor unit
1) When a malfunction is confirmed, all relays turn off and a flashing malfunction code number is displayed to indicate the type of mal­function.
When the air conditioner 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 conditioner continues operating without a malfunction code display, and the main relay turns off after 30 seconds if the short-circuit condition remains.
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.)
1.17.2 Outdoor unit
If a malfunction occurs, LED1 on the outdoor unit flashes in 0.2-sec­ond intervals as shown below.

1.18. 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.
1.19. Airflow control
The airflow control holds the two upper and lower louvers at special positions during operation to prevent discharged air from directly blow­ing onto people in the room.
Modes and Temperature Settings
1.19.1 Cooling/dehumidifying operation
When the airflow button is pressed the upper louver is set at an upward angle to send the air along the ceiling.
1.19.2 Heating
When the airflow button is pressed the lower louver is set at a down-

ward angle to send the air directly toward the floor.
1.20. Difference of operation in Auto and Manual modes
In the Auto mode, the temperature setting is automatically determined based on the outside air temperature. In addition, the air conditioner operation differs from the operation in the Manual mode as explained below.
1.20.1 Difference relating to set temperature
Auto mode Manual mode
Cooling Heating Dehumidifying Cooling Heating Dehumidifying
Temperature setting method
Automatic temperature setting based on outside air tem­perature. Can be changed within ±2°C using remote con­trol.
1.21. Dehumidifying operation control
If the room temperature is 26°C 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 26°C when dehumidifying opera­tion starts, the dehumidifying operation minimizes the lowering of the room temperature.
1.22. 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. (The air conditioner shows the remaining minutes: 40 39 38 ... 3 2 1)

1.23. Plasmacluster Ion function
Operating the Plasmacluster Ion button while the air conditioner is in operation or in non-operation allows the switching of the operation mode in the following sequence: “Air Clean operation” “Stop”.
• “Self Clean operation” generates about equal amounts of (+)ions and (-)ions from the cluster unit to provide clean air.
If the Plasmacluster Ion generation function is operated together with the air conditioner operation, the indoor unit fan speed and louver direction are in accordance with the air conditioner settings.
If the Plasmacluster Ion generation function is used without operating the air conditioning function, the indoor unit fan operates at a very low speed and the upper louver is angled upward and the lower louver remains horizontal.

1.24. Hot keep
When the room temperature rises above the set temperature by 0.6°C or more, the ON/OFF operation of the compressor and indoor unit fan is controlled in order to lower the room temperature.

1.24.1 Hot keep zone 1
With the compressor frequency at the lowest, if the room temperature is higher than the set temperature by 0.6°C but no more than 1.3°C, the following processes will be activated.
1) The compressor stops temporarily, and restarts after 2 minutes.
2) If the room temperature remains in the hot keep zone, the com­pressor is turned OFF and ON in 3-minute intervals.
3) The indoor unit fan turns OFF and ON with a delay of 30 seconds from the compressor OFF/ON.
4) After the above operation in 3-minute intervals is repeated four times, the interval extends to 6 minutes.
1.24.2 Hot keep zone 2
If the compressor ON/OFF in hot keep zone 1 fails to bring the room temperature within 1.3°C above the set temperature, the following pro­cesses will be activated.
1) The compressor repeats a cycle of 8-minute OFF and 6-minute ON.
2) After the second time, the compressor remains completely OFF and only the indoor unit fan repeats OFF-ON in set intervals.
3) While the compressor is completely OFF in 2), the louvers are set horizontally to prevent cold air from blowing.
The zone transition and the end of hot keep operation (room tempera­ture lower than the set temperature) are judged when the compressor ON period ends.

The cluster unit generates cluster ions, which are circulated throughout the room by the air flow created by the blower fan (indoor unit fan motor) in the air conditioner unit.
1) When microcomputer output turns "H," the IC6 output changes to "Lo," turning ON the SSR and applying 230 V to the cluster unit for the genera­tion of cluster ions (positive and negative ions).

3.1. PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation)
The PAM circuit varies the compressor drive voltage and controls the rotation speed of the compressor.

When the IGBT is ON, an electric current flows to the IGBT via the reactor (L5), (L6) and diode bridge (DB2).
When the IGBT turns OFF, the energy stored while the IGBT was ON is charged to the voltage doubler capacitor via the diode bridge (DB1).
As such, by varying the ON/OFF duty of the IGBT, the output voltage is varied.

3.2. High power factor control circuit
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.

3.2.2 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 (50Hz).
• The zero-cross of the AC voltage is judged as the rising of the clock waveform, as shown in the diagram above.
3.2.3 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.
3.2.4 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.

(Overvoltage detection)
During abnormal voltage output
IC1
38
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 PAM output voltage is distributed to pin (4) of the comparator (IC8). If this voltage exceeds the ref­erence voltage at pin (5) of the IC8, the output of the comparator (IC8) reverses (from H to L) and it is input to pin (38) of the microcomputer (IC1) to halt the PAM drive.
The protection voltage level is as follows.
3.3.1 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 350 V or higher (detection circuit input voltage of about 9.2 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 than specified power source frequency (50/60 Hz) is input
– When an error is detected
• PAM IGBT does not turn ON.
• Compressor operates normally.
• Complete shutdown does not occur.
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 or Thermostat OFF from remote control)
* When a user complains that the air conditioner 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, and lowers to the 180-VDC level.

4. Explanation of IPM drive circuit
The IPM for compressor drive is made by Mitsubishi Electric.
The power supply for the IPM drive, the shunt resistance for overcurrent detection, etc., are provided outside the IPM (control PCB).
4.1. 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).
4.1.1 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.

4.1.2 DC overcurrent detection circuit
When a current of about 25 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 (26). 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 about 1.8 ms is generated from IPM Fo pin (24), and this results in an L input to overcurrent detection input pin (34) of the microcomputer (IC1) and turns OFF the PWM signal output (IC1 pins (51) through (56)) to the IGBT gate.

5. 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.

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.
Determination of normal condition
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.)

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.

Danger!! Do not connect the grounding wire.
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.

[8] TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. Self-Diagnosis Function and Display Mode
To call out the content of the self-diagnosis memory, hold down the emergency operation button for more than 5 seconds when the indoor unit is not operating.
• The number of indications displayed by the LEDs on the outdoor unit differs from that for the 2001 cooling unit models (for detailed display of mal­function information).
The display of malfunction No. differs from that of the 2001 cooling unit models. To show detailed malfunction information, two types of numbers flash alternately. (example: "21" ←→ "-0")
1) The content of the self-diagnosis memory can be called out and displayed on the seven-segment display section on the indoor unit. (The error data cannot be called out for display by the LED on the outdoor unit.)
2) If the power cord is unplugged from the AC outlet or the circuit breaker is turned off, the self-diagnosis memory loses the stored data.
a) The self-diagnosis display function of the indoor unit indicates the content of diagnosis by showing the error main category (number) and the
error sub-category (-number) alternately in 1-second intervals on the seven-segment display section of the indoor unit.
Example of self-diagnosis display on indoor unit: Compressor high-temperature error
'TTQTOCKPECVGIQT[ 'TTQTUWDECVGIQT[
b) The self-diagnosis display function of the outdoor unit indicates the error information by flashing LED1 on the outdoor unit according to the con-
tent of self-diagnosis.
The self-diagnosis display function of the outdoor unit is active only for about 3 to 10 minutes after self-diagnosis is performed during operation, and the display returns to normal condition after this display period.
The content of self-diagnosis cannot be called out by the self-diagnosis display function of the outdoor unit.
