Information for multi system air conditioner (Outdoor unit: MXZ series)
Multi system air conditioner (Outdoor unit: MXZ series) can connect two or more indoor units with one outdoor
unit. According to the capacity, two or more units can operate simultaneously.
• When you try to operate two or more indoor units with one outdoor unit simultaneously, one for the cooling and the
other for heating, the operation mode of the indoor unit that operates earlier is selected. The other indoor units that wil
l
start the operation later cannot operate, indicating an operation state. (Refer to the table of Operation Indicator lamp on page 6.)
In this case, please set all the indoor units to the same operation mode.
• When indoor unit starts the operation while the defrosting of outdoor unit is being done, it takes a few minutes (max.
10 minutes) to blow out the warm air.
• In the heating operation, the indoor unit that does not operate may get warm or the sound of refrigerant flowing may
be heard. This is not a malfunction since the refrigerant continuously flows into the indoor unit that does not operate.
Auto air flow direction control operation

What is “ECONO COOL”?
Swing air flow (change of air flow) makes you feel cooler than constant air flow. So, even though the set temperature is automati
-
cally set 2°C higher, it is possible to perform cooling operation with keeping comfort. As a result, energy can be saved.

BEFORE CONTACTING THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, CHECK THE FOLLOWING AGAIN
WHEN YOU THINK THAT TROUBLE HAS OCCURRED
Even if the above items are checked, when the air conditioner does not
recover from the trouble, stop using the air conditioner and consult your
dealer.
In the following cases, stop using the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
• When water leaks or drops from the indoor unit.
• When the left operation indicator lamp blinks.
• When the breaker trips frequently.
•
The remote control signal may not be received in a room where an electronic
ON/OFF type fluorescent lamp (inverter-type fluorescent lamp, etc.) is used.
•
Operation of the air conditioner may interfere with radio or TV reception in areas
where the reception is weak. An amplifier may be required for the affected
device.
• When thunder is heard, stop operation and disconnect the power supply plug
or turn off the breaker. Otherwise, the electrical parts may be damaged.
Answer (not a malfunction)
•
This protects the air conditioner according to instructions from the microprocessor. Please wait.
• This sound is generated by the expansion/contraction of the front panel, etc. due to change in
temperature.
• The air conditioner may suck in an odor adhering
to the wall, carpet, furniture, cloth, etc. and blow
it out with the air.
• In DRY operation, the unit operates using the
same refrigerant circuit as in COOL operation.
DRY operation time has to be reduced in order
to lower humidity without much room tempera
ture decreasing. So the compressor sometimes
stops, and at the same time the indoor fan stops.
This prevents water condensed on the heat
exchanger from evaporating again.
• This is the sound of refrigerant flowing inside the
air conditioner.
• This is the sound of condensed water flowing in
the heat exchanger.
•
This is the sound of the heat exchanger defrosting.
• This sound is heard when the outside air is
absorbed from the drain hose in turning on the
range hood or the ventilation fan and that makes
water flowing in the drain hose sucked up.
This sound is also heard when the outside air
blows into the drain hose in case the outside
wind is strong.
• When a ventilation fan or a gas cooker is used
in a room, the cooling load increases, resulting
in an insufficient cooling effect.
• When the outside air temperature is high, the
cooling effect may not be sufficient.
• The cool air from the air conditioner rapidly cools
moisture in the air inside the room, and it turns
into mist.
• This is the switching sound in turning on/off the
fan or the compressor.
• When the air conditioner is operated in COOL
or DRY mode, if the operation continues with air
blowing down for 1 hour, the direction of the air
flow is automatically set to horizontal to prevent
condensed water from dropping.
•
In the heating operation, if the air flow temperature is
too low or when defrosting is being done, the horizon
-
tal vane position is automatically set to horizontal.
Question

Question
Water leaks from the outdoor unit.
White smoke is discharged
from the outdoor unit.
Air does not blow out soon
in the heating operation.
The operation is stopped
for about 10 minutes in the
heating operation.
Hissing sound is some
-
times heard.
The room cannot be heated
sufficiently.
The swing operation of the
VERTICAL VANE is
suspended for about 15
seconds, then restarted.
In a multi-unit system, the
indoor unit which is not op
erating becomes warm and a
sound, similar to water flow
ing, is heard from the unit.
The air conditioner starts
th e op er ation onl y wi th
the main power turned on,
though you do not operate
the unit with the remo te
controller.
Answer (not a malfunction)
• During COOL and DRY operations, pipe or pipe
connecting sections are cooled and this causes
water to condense.
• In the heating operation, the defrosting operation
makes water frozen on the outdoor unit melt and
drip down.
•
In the heating operation, water drips from the heat
exchanger. This is not a malfunction. However, if
you have any trouble with water dripping, consult
your dealer for drainage work. Please note that
we cannot provide drainage work in such climate
that the outdoor unit may get frosted.
• In the heating operation, vapor generated by the
defrosting operation looks like white smoke.
• Please wait as the air conditioner is preparing
to blow out warm air.
• Defrosting of the outdoor unit is being done
(Defrosting operation).
Since this is completed in 10 minutes, please
wait. (When the external temperature is too low
and humidity is too high, frost is formed.)
• This is the sound when the flow of refrigerant
inside the air conditioner is switched.
• When the outside air temperature is low, the
heating effect may not be sufficient.
• This is for the swing operation of the VERTICAL
VANE to be performed normally.
• A small amount of refrigerant continues to flow
into the indoor unit even though it is not operating.
•
These models are equipped with an auto restart
function. When the main power is turned off with
out stopping the air conditioner with the remote
controller and is turned on again, the air condi
tioner will start operation automatically in the same
mode as the one set with the remote controller just
before the shutoff of the main power.
Question
The air conditioner cannot

The room cannot be cooled
or heated sufficiently.
The air from the indoor unit
smells strange.
The display on the remote
controller does not appear
or it is dim. The indoor unit

INSTALLATION, RELOCATION AND INSPECTION
Installation place
Avoid installing the air conditioner in the following places.
• Where flammable gas could leak.
CAUTION:
Do not install the unit where flammable gas could leak.
If gas leaks and collects around the unit, it may cause
an explosion.
• Where there is much machine oil.
• Salty places such as the seaside.
• Where sulfide gas is generated such as a hot spring.
• Where oil is splashed or where the area is filled with
oily smoke.
•
Where there is high-frequency or wireless equipment.
•
Where the unit will be buried in snow.
•
Inside the mobile vehicles such as a crane truck, ship, etc.
• Drain the water from the unit to the soil which has good
drainage.
• Cooling and heating capacity may get lowered 10% in the places where poor ventilation and short-cycle of air exchange
is likely to occur.
Electrical work
• Provide an exclusive circuit for the power supply of the air conditioner.
• Be sure to observe the breaker capacity.
WARNING:
• The customer should not install this unit.
If installation is done incorrectly, it may cause a fire, an electric shock, or injury from the unit falling, water leaking, etc.
• Do not use intermediate connection of the power supply cord or the extension cord and do not connect many
devices to one AC outlet.
A fire or an electric shock may result from poor contact, poor insulation, exceeding the permissible current, etc.
Consult your dealer.
WARNING:
If the air conditioner operates but does not cool or heat (depending on model) the room, consult your dealer since
there may be a refrigerant leak. Be sure to ask the service representative whether there is refrigerant leakage or not
when repairs are carried out.
The refrigerant charged in the air conditioner is safe. Refrigerant normally does not leak, however, if refrigerant gas
leaks indoors, and comes into contact with the fire of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful substances will
be generated.
CAUTION:
• Earth the unit.
Do not connect the earth to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or the earth of a telephone. If the earthing is incorrect,
it may cause an electric shock.
•
Install an earth leakage breaker depending on the place where the air conditioner is to be installed (humid places, etc.).
If the earth leakage breaker is not installed, it may cause an electric shock.
Inspection and maintenance
• When the air conditioner is used for several seasons, the capacity may be lowered due to dirt inside the unit.
• Depending on the condition, an odor may be generated or dehumidified water may not drain out smoothly due to dirt, dust,
etc. This may cause water leakage from the unit.
• It is recommended that the unit be inspected and maintained (charged) by specialist in addition to normal maintenance.
Consult your dealer.
Operating sound considerations
• Do not put an object around the air outlet of the outdoor unit. This may lower the capacity or increase the volume of the
operating sound.
• If an abnormal sound is heard during operation, consult your dealer.
• Choose a place which endures the unit weight enough and does not amplify the unit vibration.
• Choose a place in which the operation sound and air blow from the unit don’t bother the house next door.
Relocation
• When the air conditioner is to be removed or re-installed because of rebuilding, moving, etc., special techniques and work
are required.
WARNING:
Repairs or relocation should not be done by the customer.
If this is done incorrectly, it may cause a fire, an electric shock, or an injury from the unit falling, water leaking, etc.
Consult your dealer.
