2-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY
Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply
circuit must be disconnected.
2-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT
Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A
Use new refrigerant pipes.
Make sure that the inside and outside of refrigerant piping is clean and it has no contaminants
such as sulfur, oxides, dirt, shaving particles, etc,
which are hazard to refrigerant cycle.
In addition, use pipes with specified thickness.
Contamination inside refrigerant piping can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Store the piping to be used indoors during
installation, and both ends of the piping sealed
until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc.
in their packaging.)
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of compressor.
The refrigerant oil applied to flare and flange
connections must be ester oil, ether oil or
alkylbenzene oil in a smalll amount.
If large amount of mineral oil enters, that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Do not use refrigerant other than R410A.
If other refrigerant (R22 etc.) is used, chlorine in refrigerant can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check
valve.
Vacuum pump oil may flow back into refrigerant cycle and
that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use the following tools specifically designed for
use with R410A refrigerant.
The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant.
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of compressor.
Charge refrigerant from liquid phase of gas
cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from gas phase, composition
change may occur in refrigerant and the efficiency will be
lowered.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of refrigerant will change and the efficiency will be lowered.
Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during
operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with
a flame, poisonous gases will be released.

[1] Cautions for service
(1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely.
(2) Do not release refrigerant in the air.
(3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant.
(4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously.
Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant.
[2] Additional refrigerant charge
When charging directly from cylinder
· Check that cylinder for R410A on the market is syphon type.
· Charging should be performed with the cylinder of syphon stood vertically. (Refrigerant is charged from liquid phase.)

(2) Cautions for refrigerant piping work
New refrigerant R410A is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R410A is same
as for R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the working
pressure of R410A is 1.6 times higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.
1 Thickness of pipes
Because the working pressure of R410A is higher compared to R22, be sure to use refrigerant piping with thickness
shown below. (Never use pipes of 0.7 mm or below.)

2 Dimensions of flare cutting and flare nut
The component molecules in HFC refrigerant are smaller compared to conventional refrigerants. In addition to that,
R410A is a refrigerant, which has higher risk of leakage because of its working pressure higher than that of other refrigerants. Therefore, to enhance airtightness and intensity, flare cutting dimension of copper pipe for R410A has been specified separately from the dimensions for other refrigerants as shown below. The dimension B of flare nut for R410A also
has partly been changed to increase intensity as shown below. Set copper pipe correctly referring to copper pipe flaring
dimensions for R410A below. For 1/2” and 5/8”, the dimension B changes.
Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension.

5-1. CORRECTING COOLING AND HEATING CAPACITY
5-1-1. Correcting Changes in Air Conditions
(1) The performance curve charts (Figure 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2) show the change ratio of capacity and input (power consumption)
according to the indoor and outdoor temperature condition when define the rated capacity (total capacity) and rated input
under the standard condition in standard piping length (5 m) as “1.0”.
• Standard conditions:
Rated cooling capacity
Rated heating capacity
• Use the rated capacity and rated power values given in the characteristics table for each indoor unit.
• The capacity is the single value on the side of the outdoor unit;
The capacity on the sides of each indoor unit must be added to obtain the total capacity.
(2) The capacity of each indoor unit may be obtained by multiplying the total capacity obtained in (1) by the ratio between the
individual capacity at the rated time and the total capacity at the rated time.

5-1-2. Correcting Capacity for Changes in the Length of Refrigerant Piping
To obtain the ratio (and the corrected piping length) of the outdoor units rated capacity and the total in-use indoor capacity, first
find the capacity ratio corresponding to the standard piping length from Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and then multiply by the capacity from
Fig.1-1, 1-2, Fig. 2-1, 2-2 to obtain the actual capacity.
L WARNING: When the main supply is turned off, the voltage [340 V] in the main capacitor will drop to 20 V in approx.2 minutes
(input voltage : 240 V). When servicing, make sure that LED on the outdoor circuit board gose out, and then wait for at least 1 minute.
LComponents other than the outdoor board may be faulty : Check and take corrective action, referring to the service manual.
Do not replace the outdoor board without checking.

9-2. CHECK POINTS FOR TEST RUN
9-2-1. Before test run
● Turn on the main power switch more than 12 hours before starting operation. Starting operation just after turning on the
power switch can severely damage the internal parts. Keep the main power switch turned on during the operation season.
● After completing installation and the wiring and piping of the indoor and outdoor units, check for refrigerant leakage, looseness in the power supply or control wiring, wrong polarity, and no disconnection of one phase in the supply.
● Use a 500-volt M-ohm tester to check that the resistance between the power supply terminals and ground is at least 1 M".
● Do not carry out this test on the control wiring (low voltage circuit) terminals.
Warning: Do not use the air conditioner if the insulation resistance is less than 1 M".
Insulation resistance
After installation or after the power source to the unit has been cut for an extended period, the insulation resistance will drop
below 1 M" due to refrigerant accumulating in the compressor. This is not a malfunction. Perform the following procedures.
1. Remove the wires from the compressor and measure the insulation resistance of the compressor.
2. If the insulation resistance is below 1 M", the compressor is faulty or the resistance dropped due to the accumulation of
refrigerant in the compressor.
3. After connecting the wires to the compressor, the compressor will start to warm up after power is supplied. After supplying
power for the times indicated below, measure the insulation resistance again.
• The insulation resistance drops due to accumulation of refrigerant in the compressor. The resistance will rise above 1M"
after the compressor is warmed up for 4 hours. (The time necessary to warm up the compressor varies according to
atmospheric conditions and refrigerant accumulation.)
• To operate the compressor with refrigerant accumulated in the compressor, the compressor must be warmed up at least 12
hours to prevent breakdown.
4. If the insulation resistance rises above 1 M", the compressor is not faulty.
Caution:
• The compressor will not operate unless the power supply phase connection is correct.
• Turn on the power at least 12 hours before starting operation.
Staring operation immediately after turning on the main power switch can result in severe damage to internal parts.
Keep the power switch turned on during the operational season.
●The followings must be checked as well.
• The outdoor unit is not faulty. LED on the control board of the outdoor unit flashes when the outdoor unit is faulty.
• Both the gas and liquid stop valves are completely open.
9-2-2. Test run
(1) Using remote controller
Refer to the indoor unit installation manual.
• Be sure to perform the test run for each indoor unit. Make sure each indoor unit operates properly following the installation
manual attached to the unit.
• If you perform the test run for all indoor units at once, you cannot detect any erroneous connection, if any, of the refrigerant
pipes and the connecting wires.
* The compressor operation is not available for 3 minutes at least after the power is supplied.
• The compressor can emit noise just after turn on the power supply or in case of low outside air temperature.
About the restart protective mechanism
Once the compressor stops, the restart preventive device operates so the compressor will not operate for 3 minutes to protect
the air conditioner.

(2) Using SW4 in outdoor unit
In case of the test run from outdoor unit, all indoor units operate. Therefore, you cannot detect any erroneous connection of refrigerant pipes and the connecting wires. If it aims at detection of any erroneous connection, be sure to
carry out the test run from remote controller with reference to "(1) Using remote controller."

SW4-1
SW4-2
+ After performing the test run, set SW4-1 to OFF.
• A few seconds after the compressor starts, a clanging noise may be heard from the inside of the outdoor unit. The noise is
coming from the check valve due to the small difference in pressure in the pipes. The unit is not faulty.
The test run operation mode cannot be changed by DIP switch SW4-2 during the test run. To change the test run
operation mode during the test run, stop the test run by DIP switch SW4-1. After changing the test run operation
mode, resume the test run by switch SW4-1.

When a test run is started by “Using SW4 in outdoor unit”, even if it carries out stop instructions by
remote controller, outdoor unit does not stop. A test run is not ended.
In this case, please set SW4 in outdoor unit to off.
• After power is supplied or after an operation stop for a while, a small clicking noise may be heard from the inside
of the branch box. The electronic expansion valve is opening and closing. The unit is not faulty.
NOTE: Be sure to wait at least 3 minutes after turning on the power supply before setting SW4-1and SW4-2.
If the DIP switches are set before 3 minutes has elapsed, the test run may not start.
9-2-3. Test run by outdoor unit SW4
The setting of test run (ON/OFF) and its operation mode (cooling/heating) can be set by SW4 on the controller board of outdoor unit.
1 Set operation mode(cooling or heating) by SW4-2.
2 Start test run by setting SW4-1 to ON (
3 Finish test run by setting SW4-1 to OFF ( ).
• Operation mode cannot be changed by SW4-2 during test run.
Stop test run to change operation mode by SW4-1, and restart test run by SW4-1 after
the mode is changed.
• Test run automatically stops 2 hours later by 2-hour OFF timer function.
• Test run can be performed by the remote controller.
• The remote controller display of test run by outdoor unit is the same as that of test run by
remote controller.
• If test run is set with the outdoor unit, the test run is performed for all indoor units.
• The remote controller operation becomes unavailable once the test run is set with the outdoor unit.
