1 PRECAUTIONS FOR DEVICES THAT USE R407C REFRIGERANT
11
Caution
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
• The old refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing
piping contains a large amount of chlorine which may
cause the refrigerator oil of the new unit to deteriorate.
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, oils,
moisture, or any other contaminant.
• Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping
may cause the refrigerant residual 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 a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.
• The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant cycle and cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Do not use the following tools that have been used
with conventional refrigerants.
(Gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, reverse flow check valve, refrigerant charge base,
vacuum gauge, refrigerant recovery equipment)
• If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil are
mixed in the R407C, the refrigerant may deteriorated.
• If water is mixed in the R407C, the refrigerator oil
may deteriorate.
• Since R407C does not contain any chlorine, gas
leak detectors for conventional refrigerants will not
react to it.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
• Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant
to deteriorate.
Be especially careful when managing the tools.
Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small
amount) as the refrigerator oil to coat flares and
flange connections.
• The refrigerator 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 a refrigerant other than R407C.
• If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is used, the chlorine
in the refrigerant may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
• If dust, dirt, or water gets in the refrigerant cycle, the
refrigerant may deteriorate.
If the refrigerant leaks, recover the refrigerant in the
refrigerant cycle, then recharge the cycle with the
specified amount of the liquid refrigerant indicated
on the air conditioner.
• Since R407C is a nonazeotropic refrigerant, if additionally charged when the refrigerant leaked, the composition of the refrigerant in the refrigerant cycle will
change and result in a drop in performance or abnormal stopping.
–3–
[1] Storage of Piping Material
(1) Storage location
Store the pipes to be used indoors. (Warehouse at site or owner’s warehouse)
Storing them outdoors may cause dirt, waste, or water to infiltrate.
(2) Pipe sealing before storage
Both ends of the pipes should be sealed until immediately before brazing.
Wrap elbows and T’s in plastic bags for storage.
* The new refrigerator oil is 10 times more hygroscopic than the conventional refrigerator oil (such as Suniso). Water
infiltration in the refrigerant circuit may deteriorate the oil or cause a compressor failure. Piping materials must be
stored with more care than with the conventional refrigerant pipes.
–4–
[2] Piping Machining
Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the refrigerator oil to coat flange connections.
Use only the necessary minimum quantity of oil !
Reason :
1. The refrigerator oil used for the equipment is highly hygroscopic and may introduce water inside.
Notes :
•Introducing a great quantity of mineral oil into the refrigerant circuit may also cause a compressor failure.
•Do not use oils other than ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene.
–5–
[3] Brazing
No changes from the conventional method, but special care is required so that foreign matter (ie. oxide scale, water, dirt,
etc.) does not enter the refrigerant circuit.
Example : Inner state of brazed section
When non-oxide brazing was not usedWhen non-oxide brazing was used
Items to be strictly observed :
1. Do not conduct refrigerant piping work outdoors on a rainy day.
2. Apply non-oxide brazing.
3. Use a brazing material (Bcup-3) which requires no flux when brazing between copper pipes or between a copper pipe
and copper coupling.
4. If installed refrigerant pipes are not immediately connected to the equipment, then braze and seal both ends of them.
Reasons :
1. The new refrigerant oil is 10 times more hygroscopic than the conventional oil. The probability of a machine failure if
water infiltrates is higher than with conventional refrigerant oil.
2. A flux generally contains chlorine. A residual flux in the refrigerant circuit may generate sludge.
Note :
•Commercially available antioxidants may have adverse effects on the equipment due to its residue, etc. When
applying non-oxide brazing, use oxygen free nitrogen (OFN).
–6–
[4] Airtightness Test
No changes from the conventional method. Note that a refrigerant leakage detector for R22 cannot detect R407C
leakage.
Halide torchR22 leakage detector
Items to be strictly observed :
1. Pressurize the equipment with nitrogen up to the design pressure and then judge the equipment’s airtightness, taking
temperature variations into account.
2. When investigating leakage locations using a refrigerant, be sure to use R407C.
3. Ensure that R407C is in a liquid state when charging.
Reasons :
1. Use of oxygen as the pressurized gas may cause an explosion.
2. Charging with R407C gas will lead the composition of the remaining refrigerant in the cylinder to change and this
refrigerant can then not be used.
Note :
•A leakage detector for R407C is sold commercially and it should be purchased.
[5]Vacuuming
1. Vacuum pump with check valve
A vacuum pump with a check valve is required to prevent the vacuum pump oil from flowing back into the refrigerant
circuit when the vacuum pump power is turned off (power failure).
It is also possible to attach a check valve to the actual vacuum pump afterwards.
2. Standard degree of vacuum for the vacuum pump
Use a pump which reaches 0.5 Torr (500 MICRON) or below after 5 minutes of operation.
In addition, be sure to use a vacuum pump that has been properly maintained and oiled using the specified oil. If the
vacuum pump is not properly maintained, the degree of vacuum may be too low.
3. Required accuracy of the vacuum gauge
Use a vacuum gauge that can measure up to 5 Torr. Do not use a general gauge manifold since it cannot measure a
vacuum of 5 Torr.
4. Evacuating time
•Evacuate the equipment for 1 hour after –755 mmHg (5 Torr) has been reached.
•After envacuating, leave the equipment for 1 hour and make sure that the vacuum is not lost.
5. Operating procedure when the vacuum pump is stopped
In order to prevent a backflow of the vacuum pump oil, open the relief valve on the vacuum pump side or loosen the
charge hose to drawn in air before stopping operation.
The same operating procedure should be used when using a vacuum pump with a check valve.
–7–
[6] Charging of Refrigerant
R407C must be in a liquid state when charging, because it is a non-azeotropic refrigerant.

der
Cylinder color identificationR407C-GrayCharged with liquid refrigerant
R410A-Pink
Valve
der
Valve
Liquid
Liquid
Reasons :
1. R407C is a mixture of 3 refrigerants, each with a different evaporation temperature. Therefore, if the equipment is
charged with R407C gas, then the refrigerant whose evaporation temperature is closest to the outside temperature is
charged first while the rest of refrigerants remain in the cylinder.
Note :
•In the case of a cylinder with a syphon, liquid R407C is charged without turning the cylinder up side down. Check the
type of cylinder before charging.
[7] Dryer
1. Replace the dryer when the refrigerant circuit is opened (Ex. Change the compressor, full gas leakage). Be sure to
replace the dryer with a CITY MULTI Series Y (For use with R407C).
If any other product is used, the unit will be damaged.
2. Opening the refrigerant circuit after changing to a new dryer is less than 1 hour. The replacement of the dryer should
be the last operation performed.

[1] Control of Outdoor Unit
[1]- 1PURY -P400·500 YMF-C
(1) Initial processing
• When turning on power source, initial processing of microcomputer is given top priority.
• During initial processing, control processing corresponding to operation signal is suspended. The control processing
is resumed after initial processing is completed. (Initial processing: Data processing in microcomputer and initial
setting of each LEV opening, requiring approx. 3 minutes at the maximum.)
(2) Control at staring
• For 3 minutes after starting, 60 Hz is the upper frequency limit. (When only No. 1 compressor is operating.)
• 75 Hz is the upper limit within 2 hours after the power supply has been turned ON and for the 30 minutes after the
compressor has started operation.
• Normal control is performed after the initial start mode (described later) has been completed.
(3) Compressor capacity control
• Variable capacitor compressor is performed by the variable capacity compressor (No. 1: inverter motor) and
constant capacity compressor (No. 2: It has capacity control switching).
• In response to the required performance, the number of compressors operating, the switching of capacity control
and the frequency of the variable capacitor compressor is controlled so that the evaporation temperature is
between – 2 and – 6°C in cooling mode and that the condensation temperature is 49°C in heating mode.
• The fluctuation of the frequency of the variable capacitor compressor is as follows. It is performed at 2 Hz per
second.
20 to 100 Hz (TH6 > 20°C and in cooling mode, or in heating mode)
30 to 100 Hz (TH6 < 20°C and in cooling mode)
1) No. 2 compressor operation, stopping and full-load/un-load switching
1 Switching from stopping to operation of No. 2 compressor.
When the required performance cannot be obtained by only No. 1 compressor, the No. 2 compressor will be
started. (The No. 2 compressor will be started in un-load operation.)
• After the No. 1 compressor has reached 100 Hz, the No. 2 compressor stops → un-load or un-load → full-load.
2 Switching from operation to stopping of No. 2 compressor.
When the required performance is exceeded when the two compressors, No. 1 and No. 2, are operating, the No.
2 compressor is stopped or performed in un-load operation.
3 Switching from un-load to full-load of No. 2 compressor
When the required performance cannot be obtained by the No. 1 compressor and the No. 2 compressor operating in un-load, the No. 2 compressor will be switched to full-load operation.
4 Switching from full-load to un-load of No. 2 compressor
When the required performance is exceeded when the two compressors, No.1 and No. 2 operating in full-load,
the No 2 compressor will be switched to un-load operation.
2) Pressure control
The upper limit value for the high pressure (Pd) has been set for each frequency. When this value is exceeded, the
frequency is reduced every 30 seconds.
3) Discharge temperature control
The discharge temperature of the compressor (Td) is monitored during the operation. If the upper limit is exceeded, the
frequency is reduced by 5 Hz.
• Control is performed every 30 seconds after 30 seconds at the compressor starting.
–40–
• The operating temperature is 124°C (No. 1 compressor) or 115°C (No. 2 compressor).
4) Compressor frequency control
1 Ordinary control
The ordinary control is performed after the following times have passed.
• 30 seconds after the start of the compressor or 30 seconds after the completion of defrosting.
• 30 seconds after frequency control operation by means off the discharge temperature or the high pressure.
2 Amount of frequency fluctuation
The amount of frequency fluctuation is controlled in response to the evaporation temperature (Te) and the
condensation temperature (Tc) so that it will reach the target values.
3 Frequency control back-up by the bypass valve
Frequency control is backed-up by the turning on (opening) the bypass valve (SV4a) when only the No. 1
compressor is operated at its lowest frequency.
• Cooling
After the compressor has been operated for 15 minutes and only the No. 1 compressor is operated in un-load
(its lowest frequency), the bypass valve is turned ON when the low pressure (63 LS) is 1.0 kg/cm

(5) Oil return control (Electronic expansion valve (SLEV))
• The amount of opening of the oil-return LEV (SLEV) is determined as follows: in cooling, by the operating capacity
of the No. 1 compressor and the ambient temperature; in heating, by the operating capacity of the No. 1 compressor.
• It is opened (64pulses) when both compressors are stopped and started for 10 minutes. (Upper limit of LEV opening
is So = 388 pulse.)
• SLEV = 0 when the No. 1 compressor is stopped.
(6) Defrosting control
1) Start of defrosting
• After there has been heating operation for 50 minutes or after 90 minutes has passed and a piping temperature
(TH5) of – 8°C or less is detected for a preset time, defrosting begins.
• When 10 minutes has passed since the compressor began operation or for forced defrosting (Setting of Dip SW27 on) when 10 minutes has passed since recovery from defrosting forced defrost mode recomes active.
2) End of defrosting
• Defrosting ends when 12 minutes have passed since the start of defrosting, or when a piping temperature (TH5 and
TH7) of 7°C or more is detected for 4 minutes or longer. (Note that if the defrost-prohibited time is set on 90 minutes,
the defrost-prohibit time will be 50 minutes following a 12-minute timed recovery .
• Ending the defrosting is prohibited for 4 minutes after the start of defrosting.
3) Defrost-prohibit
• Defrosting is not performed for 10 minutes after the start of compressor operation and during oil recovery mode.
4) Abnormalities during defrosting
• If an error is detected during defrosting, the defrosting is stopped and the defrost-prohibit time is set to 20 minutes
by the compressor cumulative operating time.
–43–
5) Change in number of operating indoor units while defrosting
• If the number of indoor units changes while the outdoor unit is defrosting, the defrosting operation continues. Once
defrosting has ended, control for changing the number of units is performed.
• If the indoor unit is stopped while the outdoor unit is defrosting or if the thermostat is set to off, the defrosting
operation continues. Once defrosting has ended, the unit is stopped.
6) Number of compressors operating during defrosting
• The number of compressors operating during defrosting is always two.
(7) Control of liquid level detecting heater
Detect refrigerant liquid level in accumulator, and heat refrigerant with liquid level heater for judging refrigerant amount.
7 steps of duty control is applied to liquid level heater depending on frequency and outdoor air temperature, 1 minute
after starting compressor.
(8) Judgement and control of refrigerant amount
• Judge refrigerant amount by detecting refrigerant liquid surface in the accumulator.
1) Judgement of accumulator liquid level
• Return refrigerant from accumulator liquid level detecting circuit to compressor inlet pipe, detect piping temperature, and judge liquid level.
When heated with heater, liquid refrigerant temperature is almost equal to low pressure saturation temperature,
and gas refrigerant temperature is a little higher than low pressure saturation temperature. By comparing these
temperatures A in accumulator inlet portion, refrigerant liquid level can be judged.
Accumulator liquid level is judged in 3 steps as shown in the figure, from temperature A and liquid level detecting
temperatures (TH3, TH4). After deciding refrigerant status (Liquid: TH3 and TH4 are TH2 + 9 °C or less, Gas: TH3
and TH4 are TH2 + 9°C or more), judge liquid level by comparing TH3 and TH4.

• Judgement by the AL is at best only a
rough guideline.
Please do not add refrigerant based
on the AL reading alone.
2) Control of liquid level detection
1 Prohibition of liquid level detection
Liquid level is detected in normal conditions except for the following;
(Cooling)
• For 6 minutes after starting unit, and during unit stopping.
(Heating)
• During defrosting.
• For 10 minutes after refrigerant recovery.
(Note that liquid level determination is being performed even when liquid level detection is being disregarded.)
2 In case AL = 2 is detected for 3 consecutive minutes during liquid level detection (control at excessive refrigerant
replenishment and trouble mode)
• Changed to intermittent fault check mode preceded by 3 minutes restart prevention. But it is not abnormal when
the discharge SH is high. Error stop is observed when trouble is detected again in the same intermittent fault
check mode (for 30 minutes after unit stops for intermittent fault check).
• When turning on liquid level trouble disreguard switch (SW2-4), error stop is not observed, and 3 minutes restart
prevention by intermittent fault check mode is repeated. However, LED displays overflow.
(Turning SW2-4 on makes the error of TH6 < outdoor air sensor > inef fective.)
3 When operation mode shows “Stop,” excessive or insufficient refrigerant display and excessive or insufficient
refrigerant ignore display are extinguished.
–44–
(9) Outdoor unit heat exchanger capacity control
1) Control method
• In order to stabilize the evaporation temperature during cooling and the high-pressure pressure during heating that
are required in response to performance needs, the capacity of the outdoor heat exchanger is controlled by regulating the fan volume of the outdoor unit by phase control and controlling the number of fans and by using the solenoid
valves to vary the number of out door heat exchangers being used.
2) Control
• When both of the compressors are stopped, the fans for the outdoor units are also stopped.
• The fans operate at full speed for 5 seconds after starting.
• The fans for the outdoor unit are stopped during defrosting.

(10) Circulating composition sensor (CS circuit)
• As shown in the drawing below; the CS circuit has the structure to bypass part of the gas discharged from the compressor through the capillary tube to the suction side of the compressor, exchange heat before and after the capillary tube,
and produce two phase (gaseous and liquid) refrigerant at the capillary tube outlet. The dryness fraction of refrigerant at
the capillary tube outlet is estimated from the temperature of high pressure liquid refrigerant at the capillary tube inlet
(TH9) and the temperature of low pressure two phase (gaseous and liquid) refrigerant at the capillary outlet (TH2) and
the pressure (LPS) to calculate the composition of refrigerant circulating the refrigeration cycle (αOC). It is found by
utilizing the characteristic that the temperature of two phase (gaseous and liquid) R407C under a specified pressure
changes according to the composition and dryness fraction (gas-liquid ratio in weight).
• The condensing temperature (Tc) and the evaporating temperature (Te) are calculated from αOC, high pressure
(HPS), and low pressure (LPS).
• The compressor frequency, the outdoor fan, and others are controlled according to the codensing temperature (T c)
and the evaporating temperature (Te).

(12) Emergency response operating mode
The emergency operation mode is a mode in which the unit is run in an emergency to respond to the trouble when the
compressors (No. 1, No. 2) break down, making it possible to carry out a abnormality reset using the remote control.
1) Starting the Emergency Operation Mode
1 Trouble occurs (Display the abnormality code root and abnormality code on the remote control).
2 Carry out trouble reset with the remote control.
3 If the abnormality indicted in 1 above is of the kind that permits emergency operation (see the table below),
initiate a retry operation.
If the trouble indicated in 1 above is of the kind where emergency operation is impossible (see the table below),
restart operation after carrying out the previous abnormality reset (without entering the emergency operation
mode).
4 If the same abnormality is detected again during the retry operation in 3 above, carry out trouble reset once
more with the remote control, then try emergency operation starting corresponding to the contents of the
abnormality

1) Detects low-pressure.
2) Calculates the refrigerant circulation configuration.
By clarifying the relationship between the refrigerant amount and operating characteristics for BgR2 Series, conduct service
activities such as decision on the amount and adjustment of refrigerant on the market.
[1] Operating Characteristics and Refrigerant Amount
The followings are operating characteristics and refrigerant amount which draw special attention.
1
During cooling operations, required refrigerant amount tends to increase (refrigerant in accumulator decreases)
in proportion to increase in the number of operating indoor units. However, the change of increase rate is small.
2
During heating operations, liquid level of accumulator is the highest when all the indoor units are operating.
3
Discharge temperature hardly changes when increasing or decreasing refrigerant amount with accumulator
filled with refrigerant.
4
Tendency of
discharge
temperature
5
Compressor shell temperature is 20 ~ 70 degrees higher than low pressure saturation temperature (TH2) when
refrigerant amount is appropriate.
→ Judged as over replenishment when temperature difference from low pressure saturation temperature (TH2)
is 10 degrees or less.
During cooling operations, discharge temperature tends to rise at
overload than low temperature.
During heating operations, discharge temperature tends to rise at
low temperature than overload.
The lower the operating frequency is, the higher the discharge temperature
tends to become because of deteriorated compressor efficiency.

[2] Adjustment and Judgement of Refrigerant Amount
(1)Symptom
The symptoms shown in the table below are the signs of excess or lack of refrigerant amount. Be sure to adjust the
amount of refrigerant in refrigerant amount adjustment mode, by checking operation status, judging refrigerant amount,
and performing LED monitor display with LED Dip S/W1, 1-10, for overall judgement of excess or lack of refrigerant
amount.

(2) Refrigerant Volume
1) Checking the Operating Condition
Operate all the indoor units in cooling or in heating, checking the discharge temperature, sub-cooling, low pressure
saturation temperature, inlet temperature, shell bottom temperature, fluid level, fluid step, etc. and rendering an overall
judgment.
Note:
Depending on the operating state, AL = 0 does not mean that there is insufficient refrigerant.
1Discharge temperature is high. (125°C or higher)
Condition
2Low pressure saturation temperature is extremely low.
3Inlet superheating is high (if normal, SH = 20 deg. or lower).
4Shell bottom temperature is high (the difference with the low pressure saturation
temperature is 70 deg. or greater)
5Shell temperature is low (the difference with the low pressure saturation temperature is
10 deg. or lower).
6Liquid level AL = 2
Refrigerant volume tends toward
insufficient.
Refrigerant volume tends toward

2) Cautions When Judging the Liquid Level
If you are judging the liquid level, be sure the liquid level sensor function (sensor and heater) are operating normally.
Turn 1 ON on the LED monitor display switch (SW1)
the signal for the heater relay to LED 5, then check the voltage of the heater terminal (AC
198 ~ 264 V) (leave the heater connections as they are).
3 Use the LED monitor display to check if there is misalignment between the actual
temperature and the detected temperature of TH2 ~ TH4.

[3] Refrigerant Volume Adjustment Mode Operation
(1) Procedure
Depending on the operating conditions, it may be necessary either to charge with supplementary refrigerant, or to
drain out some, but if such a case arises, please follow the procedure given below.
1
Switching the function select switch (SW2-4), located on the outdoor unit’s control board, ON starts refrigerant
volume adjustment mode operation and the following operation occurs. (Refrigerant recovery mode and oil recovery
mode will be invalid.)
2
Additionally, if the LED monitor display switch (SW1) on the outdoor unit’s control board is set to
12345678910
ON
the accumulator’s liquid level is indicated by the LED lighting position.
AL = 0 (No fluid in accumulator)
AL = 1 (Liquid in accumulator)
AL = 2 (Overcharge)
Notes 1Even if AL = 1 for a short time after operation in the refrigerant volume adjustment mode starts, as
time passes (as the refrigeration system stabilizes), it may change to AL = 0.
Notes 2 As the refrigerant volume can not be adjusted in the heating mode, retrieve the refrigerant, evacu-
ate air and then fill the specified volume of refrigerant if it is necessary to adjust the refrigerant
volume in the winter season.
Notes 3A refrigerant volume adjustment performed in the cooling mode must be done with a gauge reading of 13 kg/cm2G or
higher.
If the pressure does not reach this guage reading the refrigerant cannot be collected.
Therefore, collect used refrigerant and evacuate the unit completely, and then fill new refrigerant up to a specified
quantity.
Notes 4 Judgment by the AL is at best only a rough guideline. Please do not add refrigerant based on the
AL reading alone. (Be sure to obtain calculations of the correct amount before adding refrigerant.)
Notes 5When supplementing the refrigerant volume, please be careful to charge with liquid refrigerant.

Note: 2 If the high pressure is stabilized, it is safe to judge that the operation condition is stable.
Judge that operation is stabilized or not stabilized by whether the compressor starts after 3 or more minutes have
passed.

1) SV1 (Bypass valve)
1 Since SV1 will be set to ON 4 minutes after the compressor has started operation, confirm operation by monitoring the
LED display and listening for the operation of the solenoid valve.
2 It is possible to confirm the switching being performed by the operation of the solenoid valve while the unit is operating
by monitoring the temperature of the bypass circuit or the sound of the refrigerant.
2) SV22, SV32 (Full load/unload switching valve) (only P500YMF-C)
1 The No. 1 compressor is started first and operates for approximately 10 minutes and then the No. 2 compressor starts
in the unload mode. Since it will then switch to full load within 5 minutes, the operation can be confirmed by the LED
display and the operating temperature of the solenoid valve. (If the indoor unit operating is small, the No. 2 compressor
will not start.)
2 It is possible to determine whether or not the compressors are switching from unload to full load by check the changes
in amperage of the compressor at the moment of switching. The amperage under full load will be approximately 30 to
40 % more than operation under unload.
Note: The solenoid valve for SV22 is closed when conducting electricity while the SV32 is open when conducting
electricity.
3) SV4a (Bypass valve)
1 During unload operation in the cooling mode and when there is a rise in temperature and during unload operation in the
heating mode, SV4a will be set to ON according to conditions, making is possible to check operation by the LED
display and the operating sound of the solenoid valve.
2 It is possible to confirm the switching for the operating status by the temperature of the bypass circuit or the sound of
the refrigerant during the operation of the solenoid valve.
4) SV6b
When No. 2 compressor is operating and No. 2 compressor is stopped, the main SV6 will be set to ON, making it
possible to confirm operation by monitoring the LED display and listening to the operating sound. Note that it may be
set to OFF if the outlet temperature (TH11) exceeds 120°C .
5) 21S4a, 21S4b
21S4a, 21S4b are turned on during heating mode and heating-main mode.
6) SV3 ~ 8 (Control of heat exchanger capacity)
(a) Operations can be confirmed by LED display and operating sound of solenoid valve, because one or more of
SV3 ~8 are turned on depending on conditions during cooling-only operations.
(b) Operation can be confirmed by LED display and operating sound of solenoid valve, because all of SV3 ~ 8 are
turned on during heating-only operations.
(c) Operations can be confirmed by LED display and operating sound of solenoid valve, because one or more of
SV3 ~8 are turned on depending on conditions during cooling-principal and heating-principal operations.

all the output phases are off.
2. When the output is out of phase or remains ON
continuously, the motor cannot run smoothly, but move
jerkily and vibrates.
* When the power is switched ON, a 520 pulse valve
opening signal is output to make sure the valve’s
position, so that it is definitely at point A. (The pulse
signal is output for approximately 17 seconds.)
* When the valve operates smoothly, there is no sound
from the LEV and no vibration occurs, but when the
valve is locked, it emits a noise.
* Whether a sound is being emitted or not can be
determined by holding a screwdriver, etc. against it,
then placing your ear against the handle.
* If there is liquid refrigerant inside the LEV, the sound
may become lower.

Judgment methods and likely failure mode
Caution:
The specifications of the outdoor unit (outdoor LEV) and indoor unit (indoor LEV) differ. For this reason, there are
cases where the treatment contents differ, so follow the treatment specified for the appropriate LEV as indicated in
the right column.

When the base power supply is turned on, the indoor LEV
outputs pulse signals for 10 seconds, the outdoor LEV
outputs pulse signals for 17 seconds, and BC controller
outputs pulse signals for 10-20 seconds.

1 If the LEV is locked up, the drive motor turns with no
load and a small clicking sound is generated.
Generation of this sound when the LEV is fully closed
or fully open is abnormal.
Measure the resistance between the coils (red - white, red
- orange, brown - yellow, brown - blue) using a tester. They
are normal if the resistance is within 150Ω ± 10%.
Measure the resistance between the coils (gray - orange,
gray - red, gray - yellow, gray - black) using a tester. They
are normal if the resistance is within 46Ω ± 3%.
1 If you are checking the indoor unit’s LEV, operate the
indoor unit’s blower and the other indoor units in the
cooling mode, then check the piping temperatures
(liquid pipe temperatures) of the indoor units by the
operation monitor through the heat source unit’s
control board. When the fan is running, the linear
expansion valve is fully closed, so if there is leakage,

Outdoor LEV (SLEV) Coil Removal Procedure (configuration)
As shown in the figure, the outdoor LEV is made in such a way that the coils and the body can be separated.
Coils
Stopper
Lead Wires
<Removing the Coils>
Fasten the body tightly at the bottom (Part A in the figure) so
that the body will not move, then pull out the coils toward the
top. If they catch on the stopper and are difficult to take out,
turn the coils left and right until the stoppers are free from the
stopper indentations, then pull the coils out.
If you take out the coils only without gripping the body, undue
force will be applied to the piping and the pipe may be bent
over, so be sure to fasten the body in such a way that it will not
move.
Body
Indentation for
Stopper
(12 places around
the circumference)
Part A
<Installing the Coils>
Fasten the body tightly at the bottom (Part A in the figure) so
that the body will not move, then insert the coils from the top,
inserting the coils’ stopper securely in one of the indentations
on the body. (There are four indentations for the stopper on
the body around its circumference, and it doesn’t matter which
indentation is used. However, be careful not to apply undue
force to the lead wires or twist them around inside the body .) If
the coils are inserted without gripping the body, it may exert
undue force on the piping, causing it to become bent, so be
sure to hold the body firmly so that it won’t move when installing the coils.

Intelligent Power Module (IPM)
Measure resistances between each terminal of IPM with tester, and use the results for troubleshooting. Specified
resistance value is dependent on tester type to be used for resistance measurement, because diode inside IPM has
non-linearity, thus difference of impedance and voltage in tester being influential. As the internal impedance of
resistance range of analog tester equals to the center value of meter indication, the affect of internal impedance can
be minimized if the tester having close center value of resistance range. Because internal voltage is normally 1.5V,
the tester to be used for troubleshooting of IPM should satisfy the following conditions.
Internal voltage1.5V (Power source : one dry cell battery)
Central value of resistance range10 ~ 40Ω
The measured values for troubleshooting are shown in the table below.

(3) Investigation of transmission wave shape/noise
Control is performed by exchanging signals between outdoor unit, indoor unit and remote controller by M-NET
transmission. If noise should enter into the transmission line, the normal transmission will be hindered causing
erroneous operation.

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.
Items to be checkedMeasures to be taken
1 Wiring of transmission and power lines in
crossing.
2 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 The shield is to be daisy changed exactly the
same as the transmission line.
Checking for wiring method
5 Are the units 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).
Check for earthing
Isolate transmission line from power line (5cm or more).
Never put them in the 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 :1.25mm2 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. Therefore, the state of the work should be checked 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.
(b) When the wave height value of transmission wave shape is low, 6607 error is generated, or remote controller is
under the state of “HO.”
Items to be checkedMeasures to be taken
8 The farthest distance of transmission line is
exceeding 200m.
9 The types of transmission lines are different.
0 No transmission power (30V) is being supplied
to the idoor unit or the remote control.
A Faulty indoor unit/remote controller.
Confirm that the farthest distance from outdoor unit to indoor unit/
remote controller is less than 200m.
Use the transmission wire specified.
Type of transmission line:Shield wire CVVS/CPEVS
Wire dia. of transmission line:1.25mm2 or more
Refer to “Transmission Power Supply (30V) Circuit Check Procedure.”
Replace outdoor unit circuit board or remote controller.

4) T reatment of Inverter and Compressor T roubles
If the compressor does not work when error codes 4240, 4250, 4340 or 4350 are detected, determine the point of
malfunction by following the steps in the LED monitor display and countermeasures depending on the checkcode displayed, then perform the procedures below.
No.Check ItemSymptomsT reatment

2 It was kept on for less than the
specified period.
Go to [2].
Go to [2] after keeping the power on for the
specified time.
When it is restarted, does

the trouble reappear?
3
Run the outdoor unit with
the wiring to the compressor
disconnected. At this time,
change SW1-1 on the INV
board to ON.
Note) The terminals of the 3
disconnected wires should
be isolated from each other.
*1 [Cautions when measuring the voltage and current of the inverter’s power circuit.]
1 The compressor stops and the
same error code is displayed.
1 The Inverter stops and the same
error code is displayed.
2 If the inverter’s output voltage is
output with good balance, *1.
3 If the balance in the inverter’s
output voltage is not good or if the
inverter’s output voltages are all 0 V
(a digital tester cannot be used) *1.
Perform the check of wiring shown in the
explanation of each error code.
Check the IPM is faulty. (Go to “Individual
Parts Failure Judgment Methods.”)
Check the coil resistance and insulation
resistance of the compressor, and if it is
normal, run it again, and if the trouble occurs
again, replace the compressor.
* Insulation resistance :2MΩ or more
Coil resistance:0.359 ~ 0.716Ω
Check the IPM.
Judge that the IPM is faulty. (Go to “Indi-
vidual Parts Failure Judgment Methods.”)
If the IPM is normal, replace the G/A board,
then perform this item again with SW1-1 ON.
If the problem is not solved, replace the INV board.
If the problem is solved and you connect the
compressor again, turn SW1-1 OFF again.
Check the compressor’s coil resistance and
insulation resistance.
Since the voltage and current on the inverter’s power supply side and its output side do not have a sine waveform, the
measurement values will differ depending on the measuring instrument and the circuit measured.
In particular, as the inverter’s output voltage has a pulse waveform, the output frequency also changes, so differences in
measurement values will be great depending on the measuring instrument.
1When checking if the inverter’s output voltage is unbalanced or not (relative comparison of the voltages between
each of the lines), if you are testing with a portable tester, be sure to use an analog tester.
Use a tester of a type which can be used to judge if the IPM or diode module is faulty.
In particular, in cases where the inverter’s output frequency is low, there are cases where the variations in measured
voltage values between the different wires will be great when a portable digital tester is used, when in actuality they
are virtually equal, and there is danger of judging that the inverter is faulty.
2It is recommended when checking the inverter’s output voltage values (when measuring absolute values), that, if a
measuring device for business frequencies is used, a rectified voltage meter (with a
Correct measurement values cannot be obtained with an ordinary portable tester. (either analog or digital)
symbol) be used.

For the following wiring, 1 check the connections, 2 check
the contact at the connectors, 3 check the tightening torque
at parts where screws are tightened, 4 check the wiring
polarity , 5 check for a broken wire and 6 check for grounding.
* Check if the wiring polarity is as shown on the wiring
diagram plate.
3) The motor is faulty.
4) A fuse (F1, F2, F3) is
defective.
5) The transformer (T01) is
defective.
6) The circuit board is faulty.
Measure the resistance of the motor’s coils: 20~60Ω
Measure the motor’s insulation resistance with a megger:
10 MΩ (DC 500 V) or more
If a fuse is defective, replace it.
Judge that T01 is faulty . Go to “Individual Parts Failure
Judgment Methods.”
If none of the items in 1) to 5) is applicable, and the trouble
reappears even after the power is switched on again,
replace the circuit board using the following procedure.
(When replacing the circuit board, be sure to connect the
connectors and ground wire, etc. securely .)
1 Replace the FANCON board only. If the problem is
saved, the FANCON board was defective.
2 Replace the FANCON board and replace the MAIN
board. If the problem is saved, the MAIN board is
defective.
3 If the trouble continues even after 1 and 2 above, then
both boards are defective.

6) T roubleshooting at breaker tripping
Check itemsMeasures to be taken
1 Check the breaker capacity.
The breaker’s capacity should be correct to “System
design” in data book.
2 Check for a short circuit or grounding in the electrical
system other than the inverter.
3 Check the resistance between terminals on the terminal
block TB1A for power source.
1 0 ~ several ohms or improper megohm value
4 Checking by powering again.

[Caution at replacement of inverter parts]
1IPM and G/A board should be replaced together at the same time.
When the IPM is damaged, the G/A board may possibly be broken, and the use of the broken G/A board damages
the normal IPM. Therefore, replace the IPM and G/A board together at the same time. However, if the G/A board is
damaged, judge that the IPM is faulty, then judge whether replacement is necessary or not.
2Fully check wiring for loose and incorrect connections.
The incorrect or loose connection of the power circuit part wiring like IPM and diode module causes damage to the
IPM. Therefore, check the wiring fully. As the insufficient tightening of screws is difficult to find, tighten them together
additionally after finishing other works. For the wiring of the base for IPM, observe the wiring diagram below carefully as it has many terminals.
3Coat the grease provided uniformly onto the heat radiation surface of IPM /diode modules.
Coat the grease on the full surface in a thin layer, and fix the module securely with the screw for fastening. As the
radiation grease attached on the wiring terminal causes poor contact, wipe it off if attached.
