1-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY
Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply
circuit must be disconnected.
1-2. 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 small 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.)

1-3. 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 [7/256 inch] 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 its working pressure is 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 inch, the dimension B changes.
Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension.

8-2. CHECK POINTS FOR TEST RUN
8-2-1. 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, loose-
ness 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 MΩ.
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.
8-2-2. Test run
(1) Using remote controller
Refer to the indoor unit installation manual.
• Be sure to perform the test run individually 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 indoor units connected all at once, faulty connections of the refrigerant pipes and cables cannot be detected.
* 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.

By performing the following modification, operation noise of the outdoor unit can be reduced by about 3-4 dB.
The low noise mode will be activated when a commercially available timer or the contact input of an ON/OFF switch is added
to the CNDM connector (optional parts) on the control board of the outdoor unit.
• The capacity may be insufficient according to the outdoor temperature and conditions, etc.

Linear expansion valve
(LEV) in Branch box
(1) Operation summary of the linear expansion valve
• Linear expansion valve open/close through stepping motor after receiving the pulse signal from the branch box controller
board.
• Valve position can be changed in proportion to the number of pulse signal.
<Connection between the branch box controller board and the linear expansion valve>
• When linear expansion valve operation stops, all output phase
become OFF.
• When the switch is turned on, 700 pulse closing valve signal will be
sent till it goes to
A point in order to define the valve position.
(The pulse signal is being sent for about 20 seconds.)
• When the valve moves smoothly, there is no sound or vibration
occurring from the linear expansion valve : however, when the pulse
number moves from B to A or when the valve is locked, sound can
be heard.
No sound is heard when the pulse number moves from B to A in
case coil is burnt out or motor is locked by open-phase.

(3) How to attach and detach the coil of linear expansion valve
<Composition>
Linear expansion valve is separable into the main body and the coil as shown in the diagram below.
Coil
Lead wire
<How to detach the coil>
Hold the lower part of the main body (shown as A) firmly so that
the main body does not move and detach the coil by pulling it
upward.
Be sure to detach the coil holding main body firmly. Otherwise
pipes can bend due to pressure.
Stopper
Main body
<How to attach the coil>
Hold the lower part of the main body (shown as A) firmly so that
the main body does not move and attach the coil by inserting it
downward into the main body. Then securely attach the coil stopper to pipe B. (At this time, be careful that stress is not added to
lead wire and main body is not wound by lead wire.) If the stopper is not firmly attached to pipe B, coil may be detached from
the main body and that can cause defective operation of linear
expansion valve.
To prevent piping stress, be sure to attach the coil holding the
main body of linear expansion valve firmly. Otherwise pipe may
break.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Locked expansion
valve
Short circuit or broken
circuit in expansion
valve motor coil
Valve does not close
completely.
Incorrect connection
or connection failure
Check point
If the linear expansion valve becomes locked and the motor is still operating,
the motor will emit a clicking noise and will not function. This clicking noise
indicates an abnormality.
Use an all-purpose electrical meter to measure the resistance between the
different coils (red-white, red-orange, brown-yellow, brown-blue). Normal
resistance is within a range of 46Ω ± 4%.
In order to check the linear expansion valve, operate 1 indoor unit in the
fan mode and another in the cooling mode. Then, use the outdoor multi
controller board to operate the monitor and check the pipe temperature of
the indoor unit. The linear expansion valve should be fully closed when the
fan is operating. The temperature measured by the temperature sensor
will drop if there is any leakage.
If the measured temperature is significantly lower than that on the remote
controller, this indicates that the valve is not closed. It is not necessary to
replace the linear expansion valve if the leak of refrigerant is small and does
not cause a malfunction.
Check improperly connected connector terminals and the wire colors.
Remove the connector on the controller board side and check electrical
conductance.
Corrective measure
Replace the linear
expansion valve.
Replace the linear
expansion valve.
Replace the linear
expansion valve if there
is a major leak of
refrigerant.

9PRECAUTIONS AGAINST REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE
The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regulations or standards.
The following standards may be applicable if local regulations are not available.
9-1. INTRODUCTION
R410A refrigerant of this air conditioner is non-toxic and non-flammable but leaking of large amount from an indoor unit into the room
where the unit is installed may be deleterious.
To prevent possible injury, the rooms should be large enough to keep the R410A concentration specified by KHK : (a high pressure gas safety association) installation guidelines S0010 as follows.
* Maximum concentration
Maximum refrigerant concentration of R410A of a room is 0.30
kg/K accordance with the installation guidelines.
To facilitate calculation, the maximum concentration is
expressed in units of O/K ( kg of R410A per K)
Maximum concentration of R410A: 0.3O/K[0.019lbs/ft³]
(KHK installation guidelines S0010)
Outdoor unit
Direction
of refrigerant flow
Indoor unit
All refrigerant of this system will leak out to this
room if there is leakage at this indoor unit.
9-2. CONFIRMING PROCEDURE OF R410A CONCENTRATION
Follow (1) to (3) to confirm the R410A concentration and take appropriate treatment, if necessary.
(1) Calculate total refrigerant amount by each refrigerant system.
Total refrigerant amount is precharged refrigerant amount at ex-factory plus additional charged amount
at field installation.
Note:
When single refrigeration system is consists of several independent refrigeration circuit, figure out the total refrigerant
amount by each independent refrigerant circuit.
(2) Calculate room volumes (K[ft³]) and find the room with the smallest volume
The part with represents the room with the smallest volume.
(a) Situation in which there are no partitions
Outdoor unit
Indoor unit
79
Page 80
(b) There are partitions, but there are openings that allow the effective mixing of air.
Outdoor unit
Indoor unit
Opening
Wall
(c) If the smallest room has mechanical ventilation
Apparatus that is linked to a household gas detection and alarm device, the calculations should be performed for
the second smallest room.

The smallest
room
The second
smallest room
(Situation in which there are no door openings or
in which there are openings above and blow
doors that occupy at least 0.15% of the floor area)
Outdoor unit
Indoor unit
(3) Use the results of calculations (1) and (2) to calculate the refrigerant concentration:
Total refrigerant in the refrigerating unit (O[lbs])[ maximum concentration
The smallest room in which an indoor (O/K[lbs/ft³])
unit has been installed (K[ft³])
Maximum concentration of
R410A: 0.3O/K[0.019 lbs/ft³]
If the calculation results do not exceed the maximum concentration, perform the same calculations for the larger second and
third room, etc., until it has been determined that nowhere will the maximum concentration be exceeded.
