INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R-410A REFRIGERANT
• This room air conditioner adopts R-410A of HFC refrigerant which never destroys the ozone layer.
Pay attention following points.
1 As R-410A working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of R-22 of previous refrigerant, dedicated tools and piping are
required.
2 R-410A is more affected by water and contaminations than R-22. Keep R-410Aaway from water and contaminations during
storage and while installing.
3 Use clean dedicated piping materiales for R-410A only which are strong enough against R-410Apressure. Never use any
current pipes designed for R-22.
4 Composition change may occur in R-410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent
composition change.
NOTE : The unit of pressure has been changed to MPa on the international system of units(SI unit system).
The conversion factor is: 1(MPa • G) =10.2(kgf/ff• G)

1.Tools dedicated for the air conditioner with R-410A refrigerant
The following tools are required for R-410A refrigerant. Some R-22 tools can be substituted for R-410Atools.
The diameter of the service port on the outdoor unit operation valve has been changed to prevent improper refrigerant
charging. Cap size has also been changed from 7/16 UNF with 20 threads to 1/2 UNF with 20 threads.
2.Refrigerant piping
1 Specifications
Use the refrigerant pipes that meet the following specifications.
• Use a copper pipe or a coppor-alloy seamless pipe with a thickness of 0.7 mm or less, as the pressure resistance is in
2 Flaring work and flare nut
sufficient.
Flaring work for R-410A pipes differs from that for the existing refrigerant pipes.
for details of flaring work, refer to Installation manual “6-1 FLARING WORK”.
Apply the special refrigeration oil (accessories) to the flare and the union seat surfaces.
4.Air purge
Use the vacuum pump for air purging for the purpose of environmental protection.
5.Additional charge
For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas cylinder. If the refrigerant is charged from the
gas phase, composition chang may occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and the outdoor unit. However, charging the
liquid refrigerant all at once may cause the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.

In “I FEEL CONTROL” (h)mode, set temperature is decided by the microprocessor based on the room temperature.
In addition, set temperature is controlled by TOO WARM or TOO COOL buttons when you feel too cool or too warm.
Pressing the TOO WARM or TOO COOL button emits a beep tone.
● Fuzzy control
When the TOO COOL or TOO WARM button is pressed, the microprocessor changes the set temperature, considering
the room temperature, the frequency of pressing TOO COOL or TOO WARM button and the user’s preference to heat or
cold. So this is called “Fuzzy control”, and works only in “I FEEL CONTROL” mode.
In DRY mode of “I FEEL CONTROL”, the set temperature doesn’t change.

When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, the set temperature, and the fan speed
are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C.board. The “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” sets to work the moment
the power has restored after power failure, then, the unit will restart automatically. If the unit is operated in “I FEEL
CONTROL.” mode before power failure, the operation is not memorized. In “I FEEL CONTROL.” mode, the operation is
decided by the initial room temperature at (re)start.
How to set “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION”
1Turn off the main power for the unit.
2Remove the indoor electronic control P.C. board and the display P.C.board.(See page 57,58.)
3Pull the indoor electronic control P.C. board forward and cut the RESISTOR JR07 on it.
Operation
1If the main power (220-240V AC) has been cut, the operation settings remain.
2After the power is restored, the unit restarts automatically according to the memory.(However, it takes at least 3 minutes
for the compressor to start running.)
NOTE:
•The operation settings are memorized when 10 seconds have passed after the indoor unit was operated with the remote
controller.
•If the main power is turned off or a power failure occurs while AUTO START/STOP timer is active, the timer setting is
cancelled.
•If the unit has been off with the remote controller before power failure, the auto restart function does not work as the
power button of the remote controller is off.
•To prevent breaker off due to the rush of starting current, systematize other home appliances not to turn on at the same
time.
•When some air conditioners are connected to the same supply system, if they are operated before power failure, the
starting current of all the compressors may flow simultaneously at restart.
Therefore, the special counter-measures are required to prevent the main voltage-drop or the rush of the starting current
by adding to the system that allows the units to start one by one.
