Cautions For REPLACE MULTI Installation Work
Flow of installation work in the field Items to be observed
•Please note that our Corporation is not liable to the reliability of existing piping, wiring and power system for reuse (in relation with the gas leak of piping, partially defective/disconnection of wiring, deteriorated insulation, characteristic faults due to worn out system).
•For limitation on the refrigerant piping and applicable piping diameter, check the existing piping for reuse in accordance with the specified check sheet by refer­ring to product catalogs and this manuals for judgement to reuse.
•If vapor condensation was found in the past, check the thermal insulation.
•Any portion suffering condensation dripping, check the deterioration of the insu­lation, and repair the insulation materials if required.
•When the copper piping is seriously deteriorated, do not use parts with verdigris or black spots.
•For reusing the existing control wiring between the outdoor unit, and remote con­troller, check the wire type , size or the like , based on the chec k sheet to judge the possibility.
•Even when the above does not meet the item on the check sheet, existing wiring may be reused depending on the number of connecting indoor units and piping length. Ask us for details.
•For the power source system, employ the voltage and number of phase meeting the outdoor unit, indoor unit and adopt the breaker capacity and wiring size based on the power source wiring connection diagram.
•When the existing power source system (including the power source wiring) is used, check the system for deterioration and damages.
•Check the refrigerating machine oil used in the existing system. (As is found at the oil inspection), if the refrigerating machine oil used in the existing system is mineral oil, use the ester oil sampling kit for inspection.
•When the length of piping for reuse is unknown, additional refrigerant charge is to be calculated based on the quantity of recovered refrigerant. For this reason, you are kindly requested to recover all refrigerant inside the existing outdoor/ indoor units and extended piping to check and record the quantity. (The stan­dard of additional refrigerant is (Quantity of R22 recovered - Charged quantity of existing outdoor unit + 3kg). Adjust the refrigerant quantity after mineral oil re­covery operation.)
Outdoor unit
•Confirm the space around the outdoor unit. (Verifying the installation space of the oil trap kit)
Turn the power source on, and confirm the normality of the system
•Check the remote controller or outdoor unit for error display.
•Run the indoor unit for fan operation after turning the remote controller on, and check the air feeding and direction.
Do not run the compressor until finishing the mineral oil recovery operation.
Mount the valves to the field piping (extended piping). (The ball valve is attached to the outdoor unit.)
Execute an airtight test to check the existing piping for deterioration or leaking.
Calculate the quantity required by the extended piping, and charge the addi-
tional refrigerant. Make sure to enter the value in the additional refrigerant charge column on the label of the outdoor unit.
If the refrigerant charge is insufficient, enter the value also.
Without applying any operation, keep the ball v alves of the outdoor unit c losed
before mineral oil recovery operation.
It is necessary to charge refrigerant in a rated quantity and adjust the quantity. Be sure to execute when the piping length is unknown. For detail, consult the agent of your dealer.

Warning
Ask your dealer or specialized contractor for installation.
•If your own installation w ork is improper, fire, electric shock or water leakage may result.
Connect wiring using the specified cable and fas­ten it securely to prevent the external force of the cable from being transferred to the terminal connecting sections.
•Improper connection or fastening may cause heat
generation or fire.
Conduct specified installation work durable against strong winds around buildings.
•Improper installation work can cause trouble i.e. the unit toppling over.
Never attempt to repair the unit. For repair, ask your dealer.
•Improper repair may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.
Do not touch the heat exchanger fins.
•Improper handling may cause cuts.
When refrigerant gas is leaked during work, conduct ventilation.
•If refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire, it may cause the generation of poisonous gases.
Please conduct correct installation work by observing this Installation Manual.
•Improper installation work may result in water leak­age, electric shock or fire.
Conduct all electrical work by a licensed en­gineer according to “Technical Standard re­lating to Electrical Facility,” “Wiring Regula­tion of Power Company,” and instructions in this Manual, and always use an exclusive cir­cuit.
•Insufficient power source capacity or improper instal­lation may cause electric shock or fire.
When installing or moving the unit, do not charge other than the specified refrigerant (R407C) into the refrigeration cycle.
•Air if mixed generates abnormally high pressure in­side the refrigeration cycle which may damage the unit.
Do not reconstruct or reset the protection devices.
•If the protection devices like the pressure switch or thermal switch is forcibly operated by short circuit­ing, or parts other than that specified by Mitsubishi Electric are used, fire or explosion may be caused.
Before Conducting Mineral Oil Recovery Operation
Caution
Turn the power source on 12 hours or mor e before starting operation.
• Otherwise trouble may be caused. Do not turn the power off during the operating season.
Do not operate the unit without the panels or guard.
•Touching the rotating parts, high temperature parts or high voltage may cause personal injury such as burns or electric shock.
Do not operate switches with wet fingers.
•Electric shock may be caused.
Do not turn off the power source immediately after stopping.
• Be sure to wait for 5 minutes or more. Otherwise water leakage or troubles may be caused.
Do not touch the refrigerant piping during operation or immediately after stopping with bare hands.
• The refrigerant piping or the refrigerant circuit parts of the compressor during operation or immediately after stopping may have low or high temperature. Touching with bare hands may cause a burn or frost­bite.
Do not run the outdoor unit during a test run until finishing the mineral oil recovery operation.
• The indoor unit fan will run.
Caution to Mineral Oil Recovery Operation
Warning
Caution
Be sufficiently careful to avoid the oil trap kit, falling or toppling over.
• If this happens the oil trap kit may be damaged and refrigerant piping may malfunction.
• Falling down during flushing operation causes the leak of refrigerant from the joint which is dangerous if contacts it human body.
After flushing operation, check the residual pres­sure inside the oil trap kit with a pressure gauge. If the residual pressure is exceeding 0.294MPa, recover refrigerant inside the oil trap kit to reduce the pressure to within 0.2 ~ 0.294MPa.
• Under high inner pressure, pressure rises during storing, inducing a dangerous situation.
• Under low inner pressure, water content or foreign matter enters during storing, causing corrosion to the oil trap kit which may cause troubles.
Be careful not to expose the oil trap kit unit (especially electrical parts) to rain water.
• The electrical parts if wet with rain water may cause machine trouble.
• The electrical parts if wet with rain water may cause electrical shock.
Conduct oil recovery from the oil recovery ser­vice valve outdoor or at a place with good ventila­tion. Use leather gloves when opening the oil re­covery service valve and open it slowly.
• If done in a closed space, suffocation can be caused.
• Opening the oil recovery service valve fully and quickly allows oil to splash, which is dangerous.
• As the oil recovered is of low temperature, frostbite may be caused if it touches skin.
When the oil trap kit is transported while ly­ing sideways, do not place any thing on the sheet metal of the kit.
• Otherwise, the sheet metal or inner piping may be deformed leading to breakage.
Before removing the oil trap kit after flush­ing operation, make sure to discharge and process the oil recovered from the oil recov­ery service valve.
• If it is not discharged, the oil accumulated inside will flow out during flushing operation hindering proper recovery of mineral oil thus leading to machine trouble.
For inspection, use the ester oil sampling kit when the refrigerating machine oil used in the existing unit is mineral oil.
(
Confirm the type of refrigerating machine oil used in the
existing unit by reading the name plate or the like.
)
• Proper checking can not be executed if not using the kit meeting the refrigerating machine oil used by the existing unit. This possibly causes machine trouble.
Precautions for Devices that Use R407C Refrigerant
Caution
Use refrigerant piping made of phosphorus deoxidized copper and copper alloy seam­less pipes and tubes. In addition, be sure that the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes are clean and free of hazardous sulphur, ox­ides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, moisture, or any other contaminant.
•Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause the refrigerating machine oil to deterio­rate.
Store the piping to be used during installa­tion indoors and keep both ends of the pip­ing sealed until just before brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in a plastic bag.)
•If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of the oil and compressor trouble may result.
Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the refrigerating machine oil to coat flares and flange connections.
•The refrigerating machine oil will degrade if it is mixed with a large amount of mineral oil.
Use liquid refrigerant to seal the system.
•If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the com­position of the refrigerant in the cylinder will change and performance may drop.
Do not use other refrigerant other than
R407C.
•Use of other refrigerants (R22 for example) may de­teriorate refrigerating machine oil due to chlorine generation.
Use a vacuum pump with reverse flow pro­tection.
•Otherwise the vacuum pump oil will reversely flow into the refrigerant circuit causing the possible dete­rioration of the refrigerating machine.
Do not use the following tools used for con­ventional refrigerant. (Gauge manifold, Charging hose, Gas leak detector, Reverse flow protector, Cap for re­frigerant charge, Refrigerant recovery de­vice)
•Mixing of conventional refrigerant /refrigerating ma­chine oil may cause to deteriorate the refrigerating machine oil.
•Mixing with water may cause deterioration of the re­frigerating machine oil.
•As this refrigerant does not contain chloride, the gas leak detector for conventional refrigerant gas can not be used.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
•Use of a charging cylinder changes the composition of refrigerant resulting in possible performance de­terioration.
More careful management is required for the tools than that for the conventional.
•Dust, trash or water content if mixed into the refrig­erant circuit may cause to deteriorate the refrigerat­ing machine oil.
Caution to Equipment Used for Replacing
Caution
Do not operate the valve before conducting mineral oil recovery operation.
Operating valves before conducting mineral oil recov­ery operation may cause a deterioration in the perfor­mance of mineral oil recovery.
For mineral oil recovery operation, the sys­tem controller and MA remote controller may be required to be remove sometimes.
•Improper handling can lead to an inability to perform oil recovery operation.
• For removal, follow the instruction displayed on the PC for mineral oil recovery.
• Mount the controllers again after finishing the oil re­covery operation.
Observe a safe distance from the indoor unit fan which runs during the mineral oil recov­ery operation.
Working in the surrounding of the indoor unit fan can cause personal injury.
Record the quantity of refrigerant replenished. (Enter into the column for replenished refrigerant quantity on the label of the indoor unit.)
•Missing the description may deteriorate the perfor­mance of mineral oil recovery.
•Malfunction or poor cooling/heating may also be caused.
During the mineral oil recovery operation, an error display may be shown on the remote controller or system controller.
•When an error display was shown during mineral oil recovery operation, reset the error display after fin­ishing the operation.
To conduct the refrigerant recovery/evacua­tion of the inside of exiting piping, choose tools only used with R407C e.g. charging hose.
• Using a charging hose for R407C causes it to mix the conventional refrigerating machine oil leading to the deterioration of refrigerating machine oil.
Before Conducting Installation Work/Electrical Work
Caution
Do not install the unit at a place where com­bustible gas can possibly be generated.
•Leaked combustible gas if stagnated around the unit may cause explosion.
Do not use the unit in a special atmosphere.
•Use in an atmosphere containing high levels of oil, steam or sulfide gas may seriously degrades the per­formance or damage parts.
Do not install the unit on a material which is not designed to be wet.
•If liquid drips from the oil trap kit, apply centralised drainage work to the oil trap kit.
Apply grounding work securely.
• Do not connect the grounding line to gas pipe, city
water pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding line. Improper grounding may cause electric shock.
For the power source wiring, refrain from giving tensile force to the wiring.
•Disconnection, heat generation or fire may be
caused.
Make sure to mount a leak breaker to the power source.
•Otherwise electric shock may be caused.
Be sufficiently careful in transporting products.
•Do not transport a product with a weight exceeding 20kg by a single person.
•Some products are packed with PP band. Do not use it as a means of transporting.
•During transport cuts may be caused by the fin sur­face of the heat exchanger , please refrain from touch­ing it without gloves.
Do not use the same switch or the like for plural outdoor units.
Otherwise, malfunction, heat generation or fire may be caused.
When installing the unit in hospitals or com­munication equipment plants, prepare mea­sures to prevent noise generation before­hand.
•The noise may cause the erroneous operation or failure and may give negative eff ect to medial equip­ment or communication equipment to disturb medi­cal treatment on human bodies or hinders image broadcasting or generates noise.
Check possibility for the reuse of existing refrigerant piping by observing this manual.
• The conventional refrigerating machine oil is con-
tained inside existing piping and some residual oil deteriorates oil recovery performance which may lead to the deterioration of refrigerating machine oil.
• The piping specification (diameter, length , height
difference) out of the use specified range may hinder the mineral oil recovery performance, possibly lead­ing to deterioration of refrigerating machine oil.
Do not use breakers or fuses other than that with correct capacities.
•Use of a fuse with excessively large capacity or wire/ copper wire may cause troubles or fire.
For the power source wiring, use wire with rated current capacity.
•Otherwise an electric leak, heat generation or fire
may be caused.
When using existing wiring (for power source or transmission) or switches, check them for disconnection and deterioration beforehand.
•Otherwise an electric leak, heat generation or fire
may be caused.
Dispose the packing materials properly.
• As the packing materials are using metal products
or wooden pieces such as nails, nail wounds may be caused if it is improperly treated. Please observe caution to avoid this from occuring.
•Dispose the polyethylene bag for packing only after tearing. Otherwise a suffocation accident may be caused by children play with the disposed bag.
Be sure to mount the valve to the field piping (extended piping).
After mineral oil recovery, the oil trap kit can not be removed disabling air conditioning operation.
Provide thermal insulation to the valve on the field piping (extended piping) properly.
•Insufficient thermal insulation generates condensa­tion that may cause to deteriorate the performance.
• Provide thermal insulation (including lagging) after recovering mineral oil.

I. Judgment for Reuse of Existing Piping
Both the checking of gas leak inside existing piping and the verification of reliability relating to piping strength
belong to the scope of field work as same as in the past. Therefore, we are not liable to the quality of existing
piping.
Before starting the work, it is necessary to confirm that the existing piping in question owns the rated strength
(relating to the material, thickness, and corroded portions, if any).
Points to be observed for simplified judgment to reuse existing piping
1. Reusing CITY MULTI air conditioner system
The existing piping can basically be reused if no problem was found during your use in the past.
(Please check whether the trouble was caused by gas leak or it required frequent refrigerant replenishment.)
(1) Change to same capacity → Usable as it is
(2) Change to different capacity Check whether the piping diameter, piping length, height difference, etc.
are within our operating range.
2. Reusing other makes or Mitsubishi other than CITY MULTI
(1) Check whether the packaged air conditioner used in the past was in operational trouble or not.
(Please check whether the trouble was caused by gas leak or it required frequent refrigerant replenish-
ment.)
(2) Confirm the type of refrigerating machine oil used by the existing facility.
SUNISO, MS, HAB, Barrel Freeze, Freol are acceptable. For other refrigerating machine oil than the
above, ask our factory in each case.
(3) The branch types of T-fitting, Y-branch and header branching are acceptable.
The branch pipe applied with pressure loss (like the multi-distributor of SLIM) can not be used. Replace-
ment with new branch pipe is required in this case.
Estimate the branch configuration and piping size depending on the maker name, model name and con-
necting quantity of existing products.
(4) Confirm that the piping diameter, piping length, height difference, etc. are within our operating range.

3. Items to be observed
• Refrigerant flow sound, operating sound of solenoid valve switching
Caution Countermeasure
Install the unit at a place not affected by the sound generated from the unit.
• RE: Effect of noise
Caution Countermeasure
During mineral oil recovery, flowing sound may be gen­erated depending on the status of refrigerant. In addi­tion, operating sound may be generated at the switching of the solenoid valve. (These symptoms do not represent abnormal states.)
As the air conditioner uses microcomputer, radiation noise is emitted from the power source, transmission line and unit body slightly. If the unit is installed near equipment that amplify microscopic signals electrically (wireless mi­crophone, medical equipment for example), these equip­ment may operate erroneously affected by the noise. Fur­ther installing the air conditioner near the equipment emit­ting strong noise (like electric discharge machine etc.) may cause the malfunction of the air conditioner due to the noise. In the case when such troubles are expected, please take the countermeasure shown right.
The equipment which may likely be affected by noise (receiver of wireless microphone or antenna) are recommended to be install iso­lated from the transmission line, power source line of the unit and the unit body. The power source line of the equipment emit­ting strong noise and that of the air conditioner should be separated, and the transmission line, power source line and unit body should be installed isolating each other as much as possible.

III. Outline of Flushing Operation
Install the oil trap kit between the outdoor unit and extended piping. Operation of the outdoor unit is in cooling mode, feeding the R407C charged in the system under a gas/liquid two-phase state from the oil trap kit heat exchanger. By feeding the refrigerant in the gas/liquid two-phase state into the existing piping, the residual mineral oil inside the existing extended piping can be recovered into the oil trap kit. Feeding oil fluidity solution from upstream of the existing piping can maintain or even increase the fluidity of residual mineral oil, thus allowing the mineral oil to flow through the indoor units.
The mineral oil used as the refrigerating machine oil of conventional refrigerant (R22) systems are oils mostly incompatible with new refrigerant (R407C). By flowing R407C to piping attached with mineral oil, the mineral oil is forced out and peeled off from the pipe wall by the shearing force applied between the mineral oil and refrigerant liquid. Then it is carried out while floating on the surface of refrigerant liquid. If it is under gas/liquid 2-phase state at this moment, the liquid refrigerant will be accelerated by gas refrigerant flowing at high speed in the center of the pipe. Thanks to this accelerated flow, the mineral oil inside piping can be collected quickly.

II. Carrying/Storing the Oil Trap Kit
1. Transportation by vehicles
For the transportation by vehicles, ensure that sufficient care has been paid to the with­standing force of the product. However, please observe the items below and pay careful attention to prevent the product from falling down or being damaged. (1) When carrying the product while being laid down, locate the name plate on the up-
side. Do not place any goods on the sheet metal surface. Reason : The letters on the name plate can not be read. The inner piping may be deformed leading to damage.
(2) Do not locate the piping cover downward.
Reason : The service valve is damaged causing possible gas leak.
(3) Carrying the product while locating the caster downward causes unstable condition
leading to falling down due to the vibration during transportation. Provide a measure to prevent falling down.
2. Carrying-in / carrying-out
The product is mounted with the parts for transportation, including one handle, knobs (at 5 places) and casters (at swivel side and stopper side). For the carrying-in and -out of the product, locate it horizontally (with the name plate at the upper side) or vertically and pay careful attention to prevent it from falling or dropping due to obstacles. Refrain from locating the piping cover facing downward. (If dropped, the service valve may be damaged.)
3. Storing
When storing the product, observe the items below. (1) Store in a cool and dark place avoiding direct exposure to solar radiation. (Storing temperature less than 60˚C) (2) Store the oil trap kit fixed with the stopper locating the caster in the downward facing position. (3) Store the oil trap kit, flexible tube and branch piping kit mounted with the cap previously provided. (to prevent the entry
of dirt, dust and water)

Check the necessary parts (P20) & check the work preparation (P21).
1. Turn the outdoor unit power source off.
2. Mount the replace tank to the oil trap kit..
3. Connect the outdoor unit, valve mounted to the extended piping and oil trap kit with piping (flexible tube).
4. Conduct airtight test and evacuation the piping (flexible tube) between the outdoor unit, valve mounted to the extended piping and oil trap kit.
5. Open the ball valve. (in the order of oil trap kit (1)~(4), extended piping, outdoor unit (1) and (4).)
6. For the oil trap kit, apply from L
1 and N of outdoor unit supply or a separate 220~240V
supply power source of the outdoor unit and the transmission line from the outdoor unit TB3.
7. Connect the oil trap kit and PC.
8. The system controller and MA remote controller may be required to be remove. For detail, refer to 1~5 : Piping connection, 6
7 Piping connection.
When conducting mineral recovery work the next day, close all service valves of the out-
door unit, valve mounted to the extended piping and oil trap kit to finish the work, and open all service valves immediately before starting flushing operation. (Otherwise mineral recov­ery time is extended due to prolonged start-up time, or the oil traped inside the kit is over­flown hindering the normal mineral oil recovery.)
1. Apply power source to the outdoor unit, and confirm the completion of the start-up.
2. Check the operating sound caused by the ON/OFF of the solenoid valves.
3. Through the PC operation, drive the outdoor unit compressor to recover mineral oil inside the extended piping. The recovery time requires for 1.5 ~ 3 hours. (Outdoor temperature below 20˚C, the low outdoor air hood should be fitted to the outdoor unit.) However under low outdoor temperature, flushing operation may be required again due to insufficient refrigerant.
When the frequency or low pressure drops less than the rated value due to insufficient
refrigerant and the such like, the time required for the mineral oil recovery may exceed 3 hours. For detail, refer to P36.
4. Prevent the outdoor unit and oil trap kit from being exposed to rain directly.
5. Close the service valves of the outdoor unit and the valve mounted to the extended piping (4 positions).
6. Close the service valves of the oil trap kit (at 4 spots).
7. Turn off the power source of the outdoor unit once.
8. After flushing operation, recover mineral oil by opening the oil recovery service valve.
The mineral oil recovered by flushing operation should be extracted each time from the oil
trap kit. During the work, observe that the pressure is staying within 0.049 ~ 0.294MPa.
1. Remove piping (flexible tube) and wiring between the outdoor unit, remove valves mounted to the extended piping and oil trap kit.
2. Remove the oil trap kit.
3. After reconnecting the piping kit (field work) to the outdoor unit, execute evacuation.
4. Open the ball valve (in the order of extended piping, outdoor unit (1)
and (4).)
5. Mount the system controllers and MA remote controller previously removed.
After removing the oil trap kit, confirm the inner pressure with a pressure gauge.Do not store the oil trap kit at a place exposed directly to solar radiation, but store in a cool
and dark place.
After recovering oil, conduct ordinary air conditioning operation, and check the cooled air (heated air) and the operating condition of the compressor.
The test run and adjustment work are not included. Execute them separately if
required.
This belongs to the field work category. Execute it after flushing.
1. For the inspection of oil, use suitable kit for the refrigerating machine oil used by the existing unit. (Mineral oil : Ester collection kit)
2. When the recovery of mineral oil is insufficient, ester oil, etc. should be added. Note: Only in rare cases.

(Accessory) Coat refrigerating machine oil (ester oil, ether oil or alkyl benzene (a little amount)) on the flare contacting surface.
(2) Valve operation
For piping connection and valve operation, follow the figure below. (The figure below shows the ball valve of the oil trap kit.)
For the flange section of the piping (flexible tube), use new packing (provided only for 1 time use) and mount firmly to avoid gas leak. Coat refrigerating machine oil (ester oil, ether oil or alkyl benzene (a little amount)) on both sides of the packing.
For opening/closing of flare nuts, use two spanners together. Coat refrigerating machine oil (ester oil, ether oil or alkyl benzene (a little amount)) on the flare contacting surface.
After evacuation, make sure to fully open the handle. Operating with a valve closed generates abnor- mal pressure inside the refrigerant circuit, possibly damaging the compressor, 4-way valve etc. After completing work, tighten the service port and cap firmly, so as not to generate a gas leak.

(3) Airtightness and evacuation of flexible tube
(1) Airtight test
For the airtight test, pressurize the flexible tube from the service port on the end of it (at the oil trap kit side) while closing the refrigerant service valve (ball valve) of the oil trap kit, valve mounted to the extended piping and outdoor unit while opening the valve of the replace tank. After applying to 1 and
3 , apply to 2 and 4 . (The figure below shows the state of 1 and 3 .)
Make sure to pressurize all flexible tubes. (4 spots)
As the procedure of the airtight test gives the serious effect in deteriorating refrigerating machine oil, make sure to observe the items of restriction. In addition, as the composition of the non-azeotropic mixture of refrigerants R407C will change if there is a gas leak, therefore affecting the performance, so conduct the airtight test very carefully!

x Use parts like pressure gauge, charging hose, etc.
exclusive for R407C.
x The electric leak detector for R22 can not detect
R407C.
x The color rendering type (halide torch) can not be
used. (unable to detect)
Procedure of airtight test Restriction
1. For pressurizing with nitrogen gas
(1)
After pressurizing to the design pressure [ 1 , 2 : 2.98 MPa, 3 , 4 : 1.56MPa] with nitrogen gas, leave it for about 15 minutes. It is acceptable if no pressure drop is found. When the pressure drops, a test can be conducted using the foam method below to find the leaking spot.
(2) After pressurizing as above, spraying foaming agent
(Cuboflex) onto the spots where leaking is expected, such as the flare connections, brazed connections and flange connections, etc., and observe the generation of foaming visually.
(3) Wipe off the foaming agent after finishing the airtight
test.
2. For pressurizing with refrigerant gas and nitrogen gas
(1) Charge R407C under liquid state from the cylinder, and
pressurize it to about 0.2MPa by gas pressure. Then pressurize with nitrogen gas up to the design pressure [ 1 , 2 : 2.98MPa, 3 , 4 : 1.56MPa]. Avoid to continu­ous pressurization, pause during the process to con­firm no pressure drop is found.
(2) By using an electric leak detector for R407C, check
gas leak at all spots likely to generate gas leak, such as the flare connections, brazed connections and flange connections.
(3) This may be used together with the foaming test.

1. Use a scale with high accuracy (measurable up to 0.1kg).2. Use a vacuum gauge equipped with reverse flow protector.
(Recommended vacuum gauge : ROBINAIR 14010 Thermistor Vacuum Gauge) Employ a vacuum pump that indicates 65Pa [abs] or less after operation for 5 minutes. Note: Use the parts such as a gauge manifold and charging hose only for specified refrigerant shown on
the equipment.
(2) Evacuation
For the evacuation of the flexible tube, evacuate the flexible tube from the service port on the end of it (at the oil trap kit side) while closing the refrigerant service valve (ball valve) of the oil trap kit, valve mounted to the extended piping and outdoor unit while opening the valve of the replace tank. After applying to 1 and
3
, apply to
2
and
4
. [The figure below shows the state of 1 and
3
.] Make sure to evacuate all flexible tubes. (4 tubes) After reaching the degree of vacuum at 650Pa [abs], evacuate further for 3 minutes or more. Then stop the vacuum pump and leave it for 3 minutes. Confirm that the degree of vacuum does not rise at this moment. (When the degree of vacuum increases by more than 130Pa, moisture has possibly been mixed. Pressurize dry nitrogen gas up to 0.05MPa, and evacuate again.) Last, open the ball valve of the oil trap kit and then those of the outdoor unit in that order. (The reverse order if applied may damage the compressor.) Never attempt to purge air by using refrigerant.

Standard of flushing operation time
The flushing operation time differs depending on the insufficient quantity of refrigerant, outdoor temperature and outdoor wind. In addition, the flushing time will be prolonged when the mean value of frequency, Fa v e , is lo wer than the target frequency. When the outdoor temperature drops below 20˚C or the mean value of the low pressure, LPsave, lowers below
0.46MPa, install the low temperature hood after checking the refrigerant quantity and the opening/closing sta­tus of the valves. Howev er, please note that the low pressure (63LS) may drop during 30 minutes after starting flushing operation caused by the initial status of refrigerant. Always take the operating condition into your account for proper operation. The standard of flushing operation with insufficient refrigerant is given by the table below.

Open the cap of the oil charged bottle in the ester oil sampling kit, collect oil by using the filler provided, and drip one or two drops onto the prism surface of the portable refractometer.
Caution:
(1) Coat oil so that it spreads over the prism surface. (2) When air bubbles are found, refrigerant may possibly be present. Move the oil to be mea-
sured to the vessel and evacuate it again.
1. Direct the top end of the refractometer toward the direction of sun light, turn the ocular mirror to read the scale clearly while looking in the ocular mirror.
Caution:
(1) Measuring with direct solar radiation (sun light) may gen-
erate the coloring of the boundary line. Use soft lighting such as the reflecting light off a wall surface. Be careful, the sample oil loaded may drip while reading the scale.
(2) Grasping the refractometer with your whole hand during
measuring may give your body heat to the meter causing possible error.
(3) When the boundary line is vague despite ocular adjust-
ment, refrigerant may be dissolving. Move the oil to be measured to the vessel, and evacuate it again. Refriger­ant can also be removed by opening/closing the light col­lecting plate (for about 20 times).
2. As the boundary line separating bright and dark sections horizontally appears in the visual field, read the scale on the boundary line. (Down to the 4th decimal point Example : 1.4530)
By using a soft tissue paper damped with water, wipe off the prism surface, light collecting plate and its surrounding, and further wipe off water content with a dry tissue paper.
Caution:
(1) As the prism is soft, be careful not to damage it during wiping. (2) As the contaminated prism surface may cause an error or make the boundary line vague,
always keep it clean by wiping.
Drip oil in the bottle inside the ester oil sampling kit into the portable refractometer.
Read the scale with the ocular mirror.
Remove oil adhered to the prism surface.

V. Control of Mineral Oil Recovery Operation
1. Initial control
At power-on, the initial processing of the micro computer is carried out above everything else.
During the initial processing, control process for operation signal is sent and after the completion of the initial
processing it starts. (Initial processing means data arrangement in the micro computer and the initial setting of each LEV opening and SV. The time required for the processing is about 3 minutes.)
2. Control of solenoid valves
The solenoid valves include the bypass valves between high pressure side and low pressure side (SV1, SV2), control of heat exchanger capacity valves (SV3, SV4), low pressure control valves (SV3~5), and refrigerant recovery control valves (SV6, 7), and these valves activate respectively as follows:
(1) The bypass solenoid valves (SV1, SV2) (All SV1, SV2 valves are opened in the ON position)
[For P200
250YREM-A]
Both the outdoor unit and oil trap kit are controlled in the same manner except for during recovery mode (During refrigerant recovery). The SV2 may be opened (ON) during NG mode according to the low pres­sure (63LS) of the outdoor unit.

Recovery mode
(Refrigerant recovery)
(1) Frequency control at start-up
The compressor operates at 30Hz for 5 minutes after compressor start-up during flushing mode.
(2) Limitation on discharge temperature
When compressor discharge temperature (TH1) during flushing mode (reflushing) is detected to exceed its upper limitation of discharge temperature and the low pressure of outdoor unit is 0.441MPa or less, current operation frequency must be decreased by 5Hz. (Discharge temperature is controlled every 30 seconds.)
The activation temperature of this control is 105˚C.
(3) Limitation on high pressure
When the high pressure (63HS) and low pressure (63LS) of outdoor unit during flushing mode (reflushing) are detected to exceed the upper limitation of each pressure, each current operation frequency will be decreased by 20Hz and 5Hz respectively. (Both pressures are controlled every 30 seconds.)
The activation pressures are 2.548MPa (20Hz lowered) on the high pressure side and 2.352MPa (63LS<
0.392MPa) [5Hz decreased] at the low pressure side.
(4) Limitation on radiator panel
When the radiator panel temperature (THHS) is detected to exceed 85˚C while the compressor operates, operation frequency must be decreased by 2Hz. (Temperature is controlled every 10 seconds.)
(5) Limitation on secondary current
When secondary current is detected to exceed its upper limitation while the compressor is operating, operation frequency should be decreased by 2Hz. (Secondary current is controlled every 10 seconds.)
The upper allowable current is as described below:
Models P200 : 18Amps (25Apeak) Models P250 : 21Amps (29Apeak)
The ( ) in parentheses show approximate figures of bus current.
5 : At below 5˚C of outdoor air temperature (TH6) :
When detecting low pressure (63LS) from shutdown to restart is 0.49MPa
or less When outdoor air temperature (TH6) is above 5˚C) : When detecting low pressure (TH6) goes down to 0.12MPa or less or dis­ charge temperature becomes abnormal (Error code: 1102) within 1 minute.
-65-
4. Oil return control (Electronic expansion valve <SLEV> )
As for oil return valve opening, SLEV is 64. However, when discharge temperature (TH1) exceeds 95˚C or more during recovery mode (Refrigeration recovery), SLEV is 200. As for the valve opening while the compressor is shutdown, SLEV is 0.
5. Outdoor fan control
The outdoor fan is controlled so that pressure value may come close to the target value according to the high pressure value (63HS) of the outdoor unit. (Pressure is controlled every 20 seconds.)
The rise of discharge temperature (TH1) and high pressure (63HS) is controlled. (Discharge temperature is controlled every 30 seconds.)
(1) Outdoor fan control on start-up
After the outdoor fan starts during flushing mode, the fan operates for 15 minutes according to outdoor air tempera­ture (TH6) as shown right.
The phase on the start-up of outdoor fan during recovery mode (refrigerant recovery) is controlled as follows:
The outdoor fan stops while the compressor is stopped.
However, the phase is controlled to be 100% for 1 minute during recovery mode (Refrigerant).
(2) Limitation on discharge temperature
When discharge temperature (TH1) during flushing mode (reflushing) is detected to exceed its upper limitation temperature and that the low pressure (63LS) of the outdoor unit is 0.441MPa or more, the temperature and low pressure rise, causes 5% higher than normal current outdoor fan control. i.e. Fan speed up to lower high pressure.
However, when discharge temperature (63HS) drops or keeps constant, outdoor fan control is not changed.
The activation temperature is 105˚C.
(3) Limitation on high pressure
When the high pressure (63HS) and low pressure (63LS) of outdoor unit during flushing mode (reflushing) are detected to exceed each of its upper limitation pressure, each pressure rises, causes by 20% higher than normal current outdoor fan control. i.e. Fan speeds up by drawing 20% more current.
The activation pressure is 2.548MPa.
When the high pressure (63HS) and low pressure (63LS) of outdoor unit during refrigerant recovery are
detected to exceed each of its upper limitation pressure, each pressure rises, causes by 20% higher than normal current outdoor fan control. i.e. Fan speeds up by drawing 20% more current. This reduces high pressure.
The activation pressure is 2.156Mpa.
6. Sub-cooling coil control (Electronic expansion valve <LEV1>)
As for valve opening during flushing mode (re-flushing), LEV1 is 80. However, when the high pressure (63HS) of outdoor unit exceeds 2.45MPa, LEV1 is 388.
As for valve opening during recovery mode (pending), LEV1 is 388.

8. Distributed washing control and flow rate control (Indoor unit)
The number of groups, when indoor units are automatically grouped allows regulating of the flow rate by use of the control valve (LEV) of indoor unit so that the remaining amount of oil in each branching tube may stabilize.
The combination of the solenoid valve (SV) and flow rate control valve (LEV) during re-flushing mode is as shown below. Each valve is switched every 5 minutes, except for a period time of 15 minutes after having started flushing mode and a period time of 12 minutes just before finishing flushing mode. The switching-frequency of each valve during re-flushing mode varies in repetition according to the operation frequency of compressor and the low pressure (63LS) of outdoor unit.
9. Indoor unit fan control
During mineral oil recovery, the indoor unit fan operates intermittently at the time of the following operation: (1) For 5 seconds after having started mineral oil recovery (2) During non-distributed flushing mode (LEV=150) (3) While the oil trap kit SV1 during re-flushing and recovery modes are in the state of ON, except for 15
minutes after having started mineral oil recovery
7. Detecting circulation composition (CS circuit)
As shown in the figure below, CS circuit having a structure that bypasses a part of compressor discharge gas through the capillary tube to the heat-exchange. Assuming the refrigerant dryness fraction at the outlet of the capillary tube from both outdoor temperature (TH6) and the temperature (TH2)/pressure (63LS) of the low pressure gas/liquid 2-phase refrigerant, the refrigerant composition (αOC) circulating inside the refrigeration cycle is calculated. This method comes from a utilization of characteristics that the temperature of refrigerant R407C in gas liquid state varies together with composition and dryness (Mass ratio between gas and liquid) under a certain pressure.
Condensing temperature (Tc) and evaporating temperature (Te) are calculated from the αOC, high pressure (63HS), and low pressure (63LS).
The compressor frequency and outdoor fan are controlled by the condensing temperature (Tc) and evaporat­ing temperature (Te).

When “centralized control” is indi­cated on the indoor unit, heating (cooling) operation is not available.
Even when indicating cooling (heating) operation, indoor units do not operate.
The auto vane operates freely.
The wind velocity setting is switched during heating operation.
The fan stops during heating op­eration.
Even with the operation of unit stopped, the fan keeps running.
Even with the operation SW switched to the ON position, air ve­locity does not reach the setting value.
In operation, outdoor units do not operate.
When the main power source is turned on, an indication shown in the right column is displayed on the remote control of indoor unit for about 2 minutes.
Even with the unit operation stop­ped, the drain pump does not stop.
In shutdown, the drain pump keeps working.
An indication shown in the right column continues to be displayed on the remote control or system controller.
Indoor units do not operate accord­ing to the direction of remote con­troller of indoor unit.
At the time of changeover cooling and heating operation, noise may generate from the indoor unit.
Immediately after the unit starts operation, refrigerant-flowing noise may generate from the indoor unit.
At the time of operation other than heating operation, warm air may come out.
• The unit is under centralized control
When other indoor unit is on heating (cooling) operation, cooling (heat­ing) operation is not available.
In one hour after air flow begins to blow downward by auto vane control in cooling operation, air flow may automatically change its blowing di­rection horizontally. While defrosting in heating operation, in “Hot-ad­just” operation, and while the thermostat is OFF, air flow automatically becomes horizontal.
While the thermostat is OFF, air flow speed is in the “Very low” position. While the thermostat is ON, “V ery low” position is automatically s witched to the set position depending on time or pipe temperature.
In defrosting operation the fan stops.
When the auxiliary electric heater is ON, the fan operates for one minute after it stops to cool down remaining heat.
For 5 minutes after the switch is ON or until the pipe temperature reaches 35˚C air speed is in the “Very low” position, then for 2 minutes it is in the “Low” position. (Hot-adjust control)
When the outdoor unit experiences very low temperatures i.e. danger of liquid refrigerant being present in the compressor a warming up op­eration is performed for 35 minutes at the longest in order to heating the compressor. (When outdoor air temperature is below 0˚C, the unit does not operate for 4 hours at the longest after power source is turned on.) During warming up operation the fan is operating. Outdoor units do not operate before operation in mineral oil recovery.
The system is starting up. After blinking “HO” indication goes out, operate the remote controller.
While the unit stops cooling operation, the drain pump operates for 3 minutes after the compressor stops.
Even while the unit stops, in the case that drain water comes out, oper­ate the drain pump.
The unit is on mineral oil recovery operation. After the “HO” blinking indication light or the error indication light goes off, operate the remote control or system controller.
During mineral oil recovery operation the indoor unit operates in accor­dance with other operation indication than shown on the remote con­troller. (Air velocity, drain pump, etc.)
The noise is the sound of the change-over of refrigerant circuit, it is not a failure.
The noise generates due to the instability of transitional refrigerant flow , it is not a failure.
As it is due to a slight opening of LEV for the purpose of preventing refrigerant accumulating in the indoor unit at the time of operation other than heating operation, it is not a failure. If it becomes a trouble, deal with it according to [I-5. Instructions at equipment selection] in System Design and Engineering Works Manual

Cause Erroneous operation Error code
Signal changes and is misjudged as the signal of other address.
Transmission wave shape changes to other signal due to noise.
Transmission wave shape changes due to noise, and can not be received normally thus providing no reply (ACK).
Transmission can not be made continuously due to the entry of fine noise.
Transmission can be made normally, but reply (ACK) or answer can not be issued normally due to noise.
2) Method to confirm wave shape
Check the wave shape of transmission line with an oscilloscope to confirm that the following conditions are being satisfied.
1 The figure should be 104µs/bit ± 1%. 2 No finer wave shape (noise) than the transmission signal (52µs ± 1%) should be allowed. 1 3 The sectional voltage level of transmission signal should be as follows.

3) Checking and measures to be taken
(a) Measures against noise
Check the items below when noise can be confirmed on wave shape or the error code in the item 1) is generated.
Wiring of transmission and power lines in crossing.
Wiring of transmission line with that of other system in bundle.
3 Use of shield wire for transmission line (for
both indoor unit control and centralized control).
4 Repeating of shield at the repeating of
transmission line with indoor unit.
5 Are the unit and transmission lines grounded
as instructed in the INSTALLATION MANUAL?
6 Earthing of the shield of transmission line (for
indoor unit control) to outdoor unit.
7 Arrangement for the shield of transmission
line (for centralized control).
Isolate transmission line from power line (5cm or more). Never put them in a same conduit.
Wire transmission line isolating from other transmission line. Wiring in bundle may cause erroneous operation like crosstalk.
Use specified transmission wire.
Type : Shield line CVVS/CPEVS Wire diameter : 1.25mm
2
or more
The transmission line is wired with 2-jumper system. Wire the shield with jumper system as same for transmission line. When the jumper wiring is not applied to the shield, the effect against noise will be reduced.
Connect to ground as shown in the INSTALLATION MANUAL.
One point earthing should be made at outdoor unit. Without earthing, transmission signal may be changed as the noise on the transmission line has no way to escape.
For the shield earth of the transmission line for centralized control, the effect of noise can be minimized if it is from one of the outdoor units in case of the group operation with different refrigerant systems, and from the upper rank controller in case the upper rank controller is used. However, the environment against noise such as the distance of trans­mission line, the number of connecting sets, the type of connecting controller, and the place of installation, is different for the wiring for centralized control. Theref ore , the state of the work should be check ed as follows.
a) No earthing
•Group operation with different refrigerant systems One point earthing at outdoor unit
•Upper rank controller is used Earthing at the upper rank controller
b) Error is generated even though one point earth is being con-
nected. Earth shield at all outdoor units.
Connect to ground as shown in the user’s manual.
Check for earthing
Checking for wiring method

1) Power supply from transformers is not turned on in in­door unit.
1 The original power supply of indoor unit is not turned
on.
2 The connector (CND, CNT, CN3T) on the controller
board in the room has come off.
3 Fuse on the control board in Indoor Unit has melting
down.
4 Transformer defects or damage to unit.
2) MA remote controller has been wired incorrectly.
1 Break of the MA remote controller line and the con-
nection to the terminals has come off.
2 Short circuit of the MA remote control wiring 3 Reversed connections of the wiring on remote con-
troller.
4 Incorrect connection of the MA remote control wiring
to the transmission line terminal block (TB5).
5 Reversed connections between the MA remote con-
trol wiring in the indoor unit and AC 200V power sup­ply wiring.
6 Reversed connection between the MA remote control
wiring in the indoor unit and M-NET transmission wir­ing.
3) The maximum number of MA remote controllers con­nected to one is unit exceeded (two units).
4) The wiring length of the MA remote line and the used electric wire diameter is out of specifications.
5) The wiring of the remote display output to the outdoor unit is short circuited, or the relay is connected with re­versed polarity.
6) Defective of the controller board in the room
7) Defects of MA remote control
1) M-NET transmission power supply from the outdoor unit is not sup-
plied.
1 The original power supply of the outdoor unit is not turned on. 2 Disconnection of connectors on the board of the outdoor unit.
Main board : CNS1, CNVCC3 INV board : CNAC2, CNVCC1, CNL2
3 Power supply circuit defects of the outdoor unit.
• INV board defects
• Blown fuse (F1 on INV Board)
• Diode stack destruction
• Prevention resistance of rush current (R1) damage
2) Transmission line short
3) Wiring mistakes of the M-NET transmission line on the side of the
outdoor unit
1 Break of transmission line, and removal of terminal block 2 The room transmission line is wired to the transmission line ter-
minal block (TB7) for the central control by mistakes.
4) M-NET transmission line break on the side of the room unit
5) Disconnection off wiring between the M-NET transmission terminal
block (TB 5) and the room controller board CN2M and pulls off of connectors
a) Check the MA remote control terminal volt-
age (between A and B). i) In the case of voltage DC8.5-12V,
the remote controller is defective.
ii) In the case of voltage not available:
•Check the left described 1) and 3), af­ter checking , if these are factors, then modifications should be performed.
•If there are no factors of the left de­scribed 1) and 3), move to b).
b) Remove the remote control wiring from the
terminal block TB13 f or the MA remote con­trol in the indoor unit, and check voltage be­tween A and B. i) In the case of voltage DC9-12V
Check the left described 2) and 4), if these are factors, then modifications should be performed.
ii) In the case of voltage not available:
•Recheck the left described 1) once again, if this is a factor, them modifica­tions should be performed.
•If there are no factors in the left de­scribed 1), check the wiring for the re­mote display (the relay polarity, etc.)
•If there are no factors, replace the con­troller board in the indoor unit.
In the case of item 1), the LED 1 on the controller board in the unit is off.
In the case of factors 2) and
3) Indicated by 7102 error code on the self-diagnosis LED of the outdoor unit.
If pushing the remote control operation SW does not make a sound such as feep with the crystal display lamp out, and no op­erate is possible.
(An appropriate dis­play on the remote control is not on.)
When turning on the remote control opera­tion SW, a temporar y operation display is in­dicated, and the dis­play lights out imme­diately, the unit stops.
