2. Important Safety Instructions
Signal Words
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
Indicates information considered important, but not hazard-related (for example, messages relating to property damage).
General Precautions
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read these instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions included in all manuals that accompanied the product and are attached to the unit. Refer back to these safety
instructions as needed.
This system should be installed by personnel certied by Johnson Controls, Inc. Personnel must be qualied according to local codes and regulations. Incorrect installation could cause leaks, electric shock, re or explosion. In areas where Seismic ‘’Performance requirements are specied, the
appropriate measures should be taken during installation to guard against possible damage or injury that might occur in an earthquake if the unit is not installed correctly, injuries may occur due to a falling unit.
Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as gloves and protective goggles and, where appropriate, have a gas mask nearby. Also use electrical protection equipment and tools suited
for electrical operation purposes. Keep heat shields, re blankets, and a re extinguisher nearby during
brazing. Use care in handling, rigging, and setting of bulky equipment.
When transporting, be careful when picking up, moving and mounting these units. Although the unit may be packed using plastic straps, do not use them for transporting the unit from one location to another. Do
not stand on or put any material on the unit. Get a partner to help, and bend with your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum ns on the air conditioner can cut ngers,
so wear protective gloves.
Do not touch or adjust any safety devices inside the indoor or outdoor units. All safety features, disengagement, and interlocks must be in place and functioning correctly before the equipment is put into operation. If these devices are improperly adjusted or tampered with in any way, a serious accident can occur. Never bypass or jump-out any safety device or switch.
Johnson Controls will not assume any liability for injuries or damage caused by not following steps
outlined or described in this manual. Unauthorized modications to Johnson Controls products are
prohibited as they…
May create hazards which could result in death, serious injury, equipment damage, or property
damage; Will void product warranties; May invalidate product regulatory certications; May violate OSHA standards;
P5417009-rev.6

Page 8
Take the following precautions to reduce the risk of property damage.
Be careful that moisture, dust, or variant refrigerant compounds not enter the refrigerant cycle during
installation work. Foreign matter could damage internal components or cause blockages.
If air lters are required on this unit, do not operate the unit without the air lter set in place. If the air lter is not installed, dust may accumulate and breakdown may result.
Do not install this unit in any place where silicon gases can coalesce. If the silicon gas molecules attach themselves to the surface of the heat exchanger, the nned surfaces will repel water. As a result, any amount of drainage moisture condensate can overow from the drain condensate pan and
could run inside of the electrical box, possibly causing electrical failures.
When installing the unit in a hospital or other facility where electromagnetic waves are generated from nearby medical and/or electronic devices, be prepared for noise and electronic interference Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Do not install where the waves can directly radiate into the electrical box, controller cable, or controller. Inverters, appliances, high-frequency medical equipment, and radio communications equipment may cause the unit to malfunction. The operation of the unit may also adversely affect these same devices. Install the unit at least 10 ft. (approximately 3m) away from such devices.
When a wireless controller is used, locate at a distance of at least 3.3 ft. (approximately 1m) between
the indoor unit and electric lighting. If not, the receiver part of the unit may have difculty receiving
operation commands.
Do not install the unit in any location where animals and plants can come into direct contact with the outlet air stream. Exposure could adversely affect the animals and plants.
Do not install the unit with any downward slope to the side of the drain adaptor. If you do, you may
have drain water owing back which may cause leaks.
Be sure the drain hose discharges water properly. If connected incorrectly, it may cause leaks.
Do not install the unit in any place where oil can seep onto the units, such as table or seating areas in
restaurants, and so forth. For these locations or social venues, use specialized units with oil-resistant
features built into them. In addition, use a specialized ceiling fan designed for restaurant use. These specialized oil-resistant units can be ordered for such applications. However, in places where large quantities of oil can splash onto the unit, such as a factory, even the specialized units cannot be used. These products should not be installed in such locations.
Installation Precautions
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the following installation
precautions must be followed.
When installing the unit into…
A wall: Make sure the wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. It may be necessary to
construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support.
A room: Properly insulate any refrigerant tubing run inside a room to prevent “sweating” that can
cause dripping and water damage to walls, oors, or property within the space.
Damp or uneven areas: Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level
foundation for the unit to prevent water damage and abnormal vibration.
An area with high winds: Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame.
Provide a suitable wind bafe.
A snowy area: Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than anticipated snow
levels and drifting snow. Provide snow protection hood or low ambient kit.
Do not install the unit in the following places. Doing so can result in an explosion, re, deformation, corrosion, or product failure.
Explosive or ammable atmosphere Where re, oil, steam, or powder can directly enter the unit, such as in close proximity or directly
above a kitchen stove. Where oil (including machinery oil) may be present. Where corrosive gases such as chlorine, bromine, or sulde can accumulate, such as near a hot
tub or hot spring. Where dense, salt-laden airow is heavy, such as in coastal regions. Where the air quality is of high acidity. Where harmful gases can be generated from decomposition.
2
P5417009-rev.6
Page 9
Do not position the drain pipe for the indoor unit near any sanitary sewers where corrosive gases may be present. If you do, toxic gases can seep into breathable air spaces and can cause respiratory
injuries. If the drainpipe is installed incorrectly, water leakage and damage to the ceiling, oor,
furniture, or other possessions may result. If condensate piping becomes clogged, moisture can back up and can drip from the indoor unit. Do not install the indoor unit where such dripping can cause moisture damage or uneven locations: Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the unit to prevent water damage and abnormal vibration.
Before performing any brazing work, be sure that there are no ammable materials or open ames nearby.
Perform a test run to ensure normal operation. Safety guards, shields, barriers, covers, and protective
devices must be in place while the compressor/unit is operating. During the test run, keep ngers and
clothing away from any moving parts.
Clean up the site when nished, remembering to check that no tools, metal scraps, or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit being installed.
During transportation, do not allow the backrest of the forklift make contact with the unit, otherwise, it may cause damage to the heat exchanger and also may cause injury when stopped or started suddenly.
Remove gas inside the closing pipe when the brazing work is performed. If the brazing ller metal is melted with remaining gas inside, the pipes will be blown off and it may cause injury.
Be sure to use nitrogen gas for an airtight test. If other gases such as oxygen gas, acetylene gas or
uorocarbon gas are accidentally used, it may cause explosion or gas intoxication.
After installation work for the system has been completed, explain the “Safety Precautions,” the proper use and maintenance of the unit to the customer according to the information in all manuals that came with the system. All manuals and warranty information must be given to the user or left near the Indoor Unit.
Refrigerant Precautions
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the following refrigerant
precautions must be followed.
As originally manufactured, this unit contains refrigerant installed by Johnson Controls. Johnson
Controls uses only refrigerants that have been approved for use in the unit’s intended home country
or market. Johnson Controls distributors similarly are only authorized to provide refrigerants that have been approved for use in the countries or markets they serve. The refrigerant used in this unit
is identied on the unit’s faceplate and/or in the associated manuals. Any additions of refrigerant into this unit must comply with the country’s requirements with regard to refrigerant use and should be
obtained from Johnson Controls distributors. Use of any non-approved refrigerant substitutes will void the warranty and will increase the potential risk of equipment damage, property damage, personal injury, or death.
Take measures to ensure that the refrigerant limitations in ASHRAE Standard 15 (Canada: B52), or
other local codes, are followed. If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.
Check the design pressure for this product is 601 psi (4.15MPa). The pressure of the refrigerant
R410A is 1.4 times higher than that of the refrigerant R22. Therefore, the refrigerant piping for
R410A shall be thicker than that for R22. Make sure to use the specied refrigerant piping. If not, the
refrigerant piping may rupture due to an excessive refrigerant pressure. Besides, pay attention to the piping thickness when using copper refrigerant piping. The thickness of copper refrigerant piping differs depending on its material.
The refrigerant R410A is adopted. The refrigerant oil tends to be affected by foreign matters such as
moisture, oxide lm, or other non-condensables. Perform the installation work with care to prevent moisture, dust, or different refrigerant from entering the refrigerant cycle. Foreign matter can be
introduced into the cycle from such parts as expansion valve and the operation may be unavailable.
To avoid the possibility of different refrigerant or refrigerant oil being introduced into the cycle, the
sizes of the charging connections have been changed from R407C type and R22 type. It is necessary to prepare the following tools listed in Section 3 before performing the installation work.
Use refrigerant pipes and joints which are approved for use with R410A.
A compressor/unit comprises a pressurized system. Never loosen threaded joints while the system is
under pressure and never open pressurized system parts.
P5417009-rev.6

Page 10
Before installation is complete, make sure that the refrigerant leak test has been performed. If
refrigerant gases escape into the air, turn OFF the main switch, extinguish any open ames and contact your service contractor. Refrigerant (Fluorocarbon) for this unit is odorless. If the refrigerant should leak and come into contact with open ames, toxic gas could be generated. Also, because the uorocarbons are heavier than air, they settle to the oor, which could cause asphyxiation.
When installing the unit, and connecting refrigerant piping, keep all piping runs as short as possible,
and make sure to securely connect the refrigerant piping before the compressor starts operating. If the refrigerant piping is not connected and the compressor activates with the stop valve opened, the refrigerant cycle will become subjected to extremely high pressure, which can cause an explosion or
re.
Tighten the are nut with a torque wrench in the specied manner. Do not apply excessive force to the
are nut when tightening. If you do, the are nut can crack and refrigerant leakage may occur.
When maintaining, relocating, and disposing of the unit, dismantle the refrigerant piping after the
compressor stops.
When pipes are removed out from under the piping cover, after the insulation work is completed,
cover the gap between the piping cover and pipes by a packing (eld-supplied). If the gap is not
covered, the unit may be damaged if snow, rain water or small animals enter the unit.
Do not apply excessive force to the stop valve at the end of opening. Otherwise, the stop valve ies
out due to refrigerant pressure. At the test run, fully open the gas and liquid valves, otherwise, these devices will be damaged. (It is closed before shipment.)
If the arrangement for outdoor units is incorrect, it may cause owback of the refrigerant and result in
failure of the outdoor unit.
The refrigerant system may be damaged if the slope of the piping connection kit exceeds +15
o
.
Electrical Precautions
Take the following precautions to reduce the risk of electric shock, re or
explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and
these instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause property damage, serious injury, or death.
Perform all electrical work in strict accordance with this manual and all the relevant regulatory
standards.
Before servicing, open and tag all disconnect switches. Never assume electrical power is
disconnected. Check with meter and equipment.
Only use electrical protection equipment and tools suited for this installation.
Use specied cables between units.
The new air conditioner may not function normally in the following instances:
If electrical power for the new air conditioner is supplied from the same transformer as the
external equipment* referred to below.
If the power supply cables for this external equipment* and the new air conditioner unit are
located in close proximity to each other.
External Equipment*: (Example): A lift, container crane, rectier for electric railway, inverter
power device, arc furnace, electric furnace, large-sized induction motor and large-sized switch.
Regarding the cases mentioned above, surge voltage may be inducted into the power supply cables for the packaged air conditioner due to a rapid change in power consumption of the device and an activation of a switch.
Check eld regulations and standards before performing electrical work in order to protect the
power supply for the new air conditioner unit.
Communication cable shall be a minimum of AWG18 (0.82mm
2
), 2-Conductor, Stranded Copper. Shielded cable must be considered for applications and routing in areas of high EMI and other sources of potentially excessive electrical noise to reduce the potential for communication errors. When shielded cable is applied, secure properly and terminate cable shield as required per Johnson Controls guidelines.

Be sure to install circuit breakers (ground fault interrupter, isolating switch, molded case circuit
breaker and so on), with the specied capacity. Ensure that the wiring terminals are tightened securely to recommended torque specications.
Clamp electrical wires securely with a cable clamp after all wiring is connected to the terminal block. In addition, run wires securely through the wiring access channel.
When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables. Secure the suspended cables at regular intervals, but not too tightly.
Make sure that the terminals do not come into contact with the surface of the electrical box. If the terminals are too close to the surface, it may lead to failures at the terminal connection.
Turn OFF and disconnect the unit from the power supply when handling the service connector. Do not
open the service cover or access panel to the indoor or outdoor units without turning OFF the main
power supply.
After ceasing operation, be sure to wait at least ve minutes before turning off the main power switch. Otherwise, water leakage or electrical breakdown may result. Disconnect the power supply completely before attempting any maintenance for electrical parts. Check to ensure that no residual voltage is present after disconnecting the power supply.
Do not clean with, or pour water into, the controller as it could cause electric shock and/or damage the unit. Do not use strong detergent such as a solvent. Clean with a soft cloth.
Check that the ground wire is securely connected. Do not connect ground wiring to gas piping, water piping, lighting conductor, or telephone ground wiring.
If a circuit breaker or fuse is frequently activated, shut down the system and contact your service contractor.
Perform all electrical work in accordance with this manual and in compliance with all regulations and safety standards.
Do not open a service access cover or panel of an indoor or outdoor unit without rst turning OFF the power at the main power supply.
Residual voltage can cause electric shock. At all times, check for residual voltage after disconnecting from the power supply before starting work on the unit.
This equipment can be installed with a Ground Fault Circuit Breaker (GFCI), which is a recognized measure for added protection to a properly grounded unit. Install appropriate sized breakers / fuses / overcurrent protection switches, and wiring in accordance with local codes and requirements. The equipment installer is responsible for understanding and abiding by applicable codes and requirements.

4.1 Installation Location and Precautions
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the following installation precautions must be followed.
When installing the unit into… A wall: Make sure the wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. It may be necessary to
construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support.
A room: Properly insulate any refrigerant tubing run inside a room to prevent “sweating” that can
cause dripping and water damage to walls, oors, equipment, and property.
Damp or uneven areas: Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level
foundation for the unit to prevent water damage and abnormal vibration.
An area with high winds: Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame.
Provide a suitable wind bafe (eld-supplied).
A snowy area: Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than the anticipated snow
levels and drifting snow. Provide snow protection hood or low ambient kit (optional part).
Do not install the unit in the following places. Doing so can result in an explosion, re, deformation,
corrosion, or product failure.
Explosive or ammable atmosphere Where a re, oil, steam or powder can directly enter the unit, such as nearby or above a kitchen
stove. Where oil (including machinery oil) may be present. Where corrosive gases such as chlorine, bromine, or sulde can accumulate, such as near a hot
tub or hot spring. Where dense, salt-laden airow is heavy, such as in coastal regions. Where the air quality is of high acidity. Where harmful gases can be generated from decomposition.
During heating or defrosting operation, drain water is discharged. Provide adequate drainage around the foundation. If installing the unit on a roof or a balcony, provide the additional drainage around the foundation to prevent water from dripping on walk ways, people, property, and preventing ice from forming during freezing temperatures creating slip hazards.
Before performing any brazing work, be sure that there are no ammable materials or open ames nearby.
Perform a test run to ensure normal operation. Safety guards, shields, barriers, covers, and protective
devices must be in place while the compressor/unit is operating. During the test run, keep ngers and
clothing away from any moving parts.
Clean up the site when nished, remembering to check that no tools, metal scraps, or bits of wiring have been left behind inside the unit being installed.
After installation work for the system has been completed, explain the “Safety Precautions,” the proper use and maintenance of the unit to the customer according to the information in all manuals that came with the system. All manuals and warranty information must be given to the user or left near the Unit.

(1) Brazing work must be performed by an authorized installer in order to prevent any problems.
(2) For pipe connections, complete non-oxidation brazing with a nitrogen purge. If brazing the pipes
without the nitrogen, a large amount of oxidized scaling is generated in the piping. This oxidized scaling can cause clogging inside the expansion valve, solenoid valve, accumulator, and compressor, which can prevent the unit from operating properly.
Do not use the eld-supplied antioxidant which can corrode pipes and degrade the refrigerant oil.
Make sure to use nitrogen. Nitrogen gas pressure shall be 2.9 psi (0.02 MPa) or less.
Make sure to use the pressure-reducing valve.
Do not use eld-supplied antioxidant.
(Stop Valve)
NOTICE:
To avoid oxidation and scaling, perform brazing at the appropriate temperature.

Cautions for Piping Connection Work
Use two wrenches as shown.
Apply Refrigerant Oil.
(1) Verify that there are no scratches, metal shavings, gaps, or deformations at the ared end before
connecting pipe to the system.
(2) Before tightening the are nut, apply a small amount of oil (eld-supplied) to the outside of the are.
(Do not apply any oil to the are face or the threads.) Tighten the liquid pipe are nut to the specied torque while using a back-up wrench to prevent damage to the unit. Ensure that the are connections
are leak free upon completion of the work.
NOTE:
Refrigerant oil is eld-supplied. [Ethereal Oil: FVC68D (Idemitsu Kousan Co. Ltd.)]
Do not apply refrigerant oil to exterior flared surfaces.
(3) Be sure to use the accessory are nuts for indoor unit connections.
To tighten the torque for liquid stop valve, refer to Section 6.2.1 “Stop Valve” of the tightening torque table.
Required Tightening Torque
Pipe Size Tightening Torque
1/4 inch (6.35 mm) 10.3 - 13.3 ft·lbs (14 - 18 N·m)
3/8 inch (9.52 mm) 25.1 - 31.0 ft·lbs (34 - 42 N·m)
1/2 inch (12.7 mm) 36.1 - 45.0 ft·lbs (49 - 61 N·m)
5/8 inch (15.88 mm) 50.2 - 60.5 ft·lbs (68 - 82 N·m)
3/4 inch (19.05 mm) 73.8 - 88.5 ft·lbs (100 - 120 N·m)
(4) When the temperature and humidity inside the ceiling exceed 80oF (27oC)/RH80%, apply additional
insulation of approximately 3/8 inch (10mm) in thickness to the accessory insulation. The insulation prevents the formation of condensation on the surface of the insulation (refrigerant pipe only).
(5) Perform the airtight test at (601 psi (4.15MPa) for the test pressure).
(6) Perform cold insulation work by wrapping tape around ared and reducer connections. Also, insulate
all the refrigerant pipes.
(7) Connect the indoor/outdoor units with refrigerant pipe. Secure the pipe to prevent it from coming into
contact with weak structures such as a wall or ceiling. Otherwise, noise will occur due to vibration of the pipe.

8.1 Airtight Test
(1) Check to ensure that the stop valves for high/low pressure gas, low pressure gas and liquid pipes are
closed completely before airtight test.
(2) The refrigerant used for this outdoor unit is R410A. Use the manifold gauge and the charging hose for
exclusive use of R410A.
Tightening Check of Stop Valves
After connecting the pipe, remove the caps of stop valves for high/low pressure gas, low pressure gas and liquid. Tighten the open-close stop valve in the closing direction according to the following tightening torque.
Operation of Stop Valves Caution
(a) Remove the stop valve caps before performing the airtight test after connecting the refrigerant
piping. Tighten the stop valve in clockwise direction.
(b) Perform the work after warming the stop valve with a hair dryer etc. when controlling the stop valve
in a cold area. (The stop valve O-ring will harden at low temperature, causing the O-ring material to contract by volume, and refrigerant leakage can occur.)
(c) Do not apply excessive force after fully opening the stop valve (Tightening Torque: < 3.7 ft·lbs
(5.0 N·m)). (A back seat (hard stop), is not provided, allowing complete removal of the valve stem.)
(d) Tighten caps securely according to the following torque specications after each stop valve is
opened.

9. Test Run
NOTICE
Test Run should be performed in accordance with Section 9.2. Use Table 9.1 for recording the Test Run.
An electrical shock will occur if there is residual voltage. Turn OFF power at the power supply completely before attempting any electrical maintenance work. Verify that no residual voltage exists after turning OFF the power at the power supply.
Do not activate the system until all issues have been examined and cleared. Test Run of indoor unit: refer to the installation and maintenance manual which is attached to the indoor unit and change-over box.
9.1 Before Test Run
(1) Check to ensure that the refrigerant piping and communication lines between indoor and outdoor units
are connected into the same refrigerant system. If not, the result will be abnormal operation with a potentially serious accident. Verify that all DIP switch settings for the refrigerant system numbers: (DSW1 and RSW1 [O.U.], DSW5 and RSW2 [I.U.]) and the unit number (RSW) for indoor units are applicable to the system.
Conrm that all DIP switch settings on the printed circuit board for indoor and outdoor units are correct.
Pay special attention to the setting for outdoor unit number, the refrigerant system number, and end terminal resistance. Refer to Section 7, “Electrical Wiring.”
(2) Verify that electrical resistance is more than 1 megaohm, by measuring the resistance between ground
and the terminal for electrical components. If the electrical resistance is less than 1 megaohm, do not
operate the system until the source of electrical current outow is found and xed. (Refer to “Caution
for Insulation Resistance” for details.)
Do not impress the voltage on the terminals for communication lines (Outdoor Unit: TB2 1, 2, 3, 4 / Indoor Unit: TB2 A, B, 1, 2 / Change-Over Box: TB2 1, 2, 3, 4). Otherwise, failure can result.
(3) Verify that each wire, L1, L2, and L3, is correctly connected at the power supply.
If any one of those is incorrectly connected, the unit will not operate and the wired controller will display the alarm code “05.” In this case, check and change the phase of the power supply according to the spec sheet attached to the inside back surface of the service cover.
(4) Apply power to outdoor unit(s) at least 12 hours prior to operation of the system to allow for adequate
pre-heating of the compressor oil. The outdoor unit does not operate for at most four hours after power supply (Stoppage Code d1-22). If operation resumes within four hours, release the protection control as follows:
1. Supply power to the outdoor unit.
2. Wait for 30 seconds.
3. Push PSW5 on the outdoor PCB for more than three seconds in order to release the d1-22.
If using a wired controller for release:
* Press and hold “Menu” and “Back/Help” simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. The test run menu
is displayed.
* Press “

Caution for Insulation Resistance
NOTICE
If the total unit insulation resistance is lower than one megaohm, the compressor insulation resistance may be lower, due to refrigerant being retained in the compressor. This can occur if the unit has not been used over prolonged periods of time.
1.Disconnectthecablestothecompressorandmeasuretheinsulationresistanceofthecompressor
itself. If the resistance value is over one megaohm, then an insulation failure has occurred in other electrical parts.
2. If the insulation resistance is less than one megaohm, reconnect the compressor cables from the inverter PCB. Then, turn on the main power to apply current to the crankcase heater.
Afterapplyingcurrentformorethanthreehours,measureinsulationresistanceagain.(Depending
on the air conditions, length of piping, or refrigerant conditions, it may be necessary to apply the current for a longer period of time.)
IftheGFCIisactivated,checktherecommendedsizeshowninTable7.1.
Conrm that eld-supplied electrical components (main switch fuse, fuse-free breaker, GFCI breakers, wires,
conduit connectors and wire terminals) have been properly selected according to the electrical data shown in Table 7.1, and ensure that these components comply with national and local electrical codes.
9.2 Test Run
This test run method is for the wired controller. As for other controllers, refer to Installation and Maintenance Manual attached to each controller.
(1) Check to ensure that stop valves for high/low pressure gas, low pressure gas and liquid of the outdoor
unit are fully opened. (In the case of combined outdoor units, check to ensure that all stop valves of the outdoor units are fully opened.)
(2) Perform the test run of indoor units one by one sequentially, and then check the accordance of the
refrigerant piping system and the electrical wiring system. (If the multiple indoor units are operated simultaneously, the system accordance cannot be inspected.)

With the operation LED ashing two seconds ON and two seconds OFF, this is an indication that
the system is searching for irregularities in communication between indoor units and the wired controller. This could result in loose or disconnected wires, components, and incorrect wiring.
● A small sound may be heard from the outdoor unit after turning ON at the power supply
because the electrical expansion valve is activated to adjust the opening. Therefore, there is no mechanical fault with the unit.
● Sound may be emitted from the outdoor unit for a few seconds after running or stopping the
compressor, starting or nishing the defrosting, and so on. It generates because of the pressure
difference inside the compressor piping. Therefore, there is no problem with the unit.

When heating operation, leave
No.2 pin of
DSW4 at ON.
ON OFF
1. The indoor unit automatically starts operating when the test run of the outdoor unit is set.
2. The ON/OFF operation can
be performed from the wired controller or No.1 pin of DSW4 of the outdoor unit.
3. The operation continues for
two hours without Thermo-OFF.
* Note that indoor units operate in
conjunction with the test run operation for the outdoor unit.
* If the test run is started from the
outdoor unit and stopped from the wired controller, the test run function of the wired controller is canceled. However, the test run function of the outdoor unit is not canceled. Check to ensure that the No.1 pin of DSW4 of the outdoor
unit PCB is turned OFF.
* If multiple indoor units are connected
with one wired controller, perform the test run operation individually for each refrigerant system, one by one. Then, make sure to turn the power
supply OFF for the indoor units in other
refrigerant systems not selected for the test run operation.
