WARNING

Carefully read the labels affixed to the main unit.

WARNING

Ask your dealer or a qualified technician to install the unit.

Improper installation by the user may result in water leak­age, electric shock, or fire.

Properly install the unit on a surface that can withstand its
weight.

Unit installed on an unstable surface may fall and cause in­jury.

Only use specified cables. Securely connect each cable so
that the terminals do not carry the weight of the cable.

Improperly connected cables may produce heat and start a
fire.

Take appropriate safety measures against wind gusts and
earthquakes to prevent the unit from toppling over.

Improper installation may cause the unit to topple over and
cause injury or damage to the unit.

Only use accessories (i.e., air cleaners, humidifiers, electric
heaters) recommended by Mitsubishi Electric.

Do not make any modifications or alterations to the unit.
Consult your dealer for repair.

Improper repair may result in water leakage, electric shock,
or fire.

Do not touch the heat exchanger fins with bare hands.

The fins are sharp and pose a risk of cuts.

In the event of a refrigerant leak, thoroughly ventilate the
room.

If gaseous refrigerant leaks out and comes in contact with
an open flame, toxic gases will be generated.

Properly install the unit according to the instructions in the
Installation Manual.

Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric
shock, or fire.

Have all electrical work performed by an authorized electri­cian according to the local regulations and the instructions
in this manual. Use a dedicated circuit.

Insufficient power supply capacity or improper installation
of the unit may result in malfunctions of the unit, electric
shock, or fire.

HWE07120 GB

WARNING

Keep electrical parts away from water.

Wet electrical parts pose a risk of electric shock, smoke, or
fire.

Securely attach the control box cover.

If the cover is not installed properly, dust or water may infil­trate and pose a risk of electric shock, smoke, or fire.

Only use the type of refrigerant that is indicated on the unit
when installing or relocating the unit.

Infiltration of any other types of refrigerant or air into the unit
may adversely affect the refrigerant cycle and may cause
the pipes to burst or explode.

When installing the unit in a small space, take appropriate
precautions to prevent leaked refrigerant from reaching the
limiting concentration.

Leaked refrigerant gas will displace oxygen and may cause
oxygen starvation. Consult your dealer before installing the
unit.

Consult your dealer or a qualified technician when moving
or reinstalling the unit.

Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric
shock, or fire.

After completing the service work, check for a refrigerant
leak.

If leaked refrigerant is exposed to a heat source, such as a
fan heater, stove, or electric grill, toxic gases will be gener­ated.

Do not try to defeat the safety features of the unit.

Forced operation of the pressure switch or the temperature
switch by defeating the safety features for these devices, or
the use of accessories other than the ones that are recom­mended by Mitsubishi Electric may result in smoke, fire, or
explosion.

Consult your dealer for proper disposal method.

Do not use a leak detection additive.

Precautions for handling units for use with R410A

CAUTION

Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.

A large amount of chlorine that may be contained in the re­sidual refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping
may cause the refrigerator oil in the new unit to deteriorate.

Use refrigerant piping materials made of phosphorus deox­idized copper. Keep the inner and outer surfaces of the
pipes clean and free of such contaminants as sulfur, oxides,
dust, dirt, shaving particles, oil, and moisture.

Contaminants in the refrigerant piping may cause the refrig­erator oil to deteriorate.

Store the piping materials indoors, and keep both ends of
the pipes sealed until immediately before brazing. (Keep el­bows and other joints wrapped in plastic.)

Infiltration of dust, dirt, or water into the refrigerant system
may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate or cause the
compressor to malfunction.

Use a small amount of ester oil, ether oil, or alkyl benzene
to coat flares and flanges.

Infiltration of a large amount of mineral oil may cause the re­frigerator oil to deteriorate.

Charge the system with refrigerant in the liquid phase.

If gaseous refrigerant is drawn out of the cylinder first, the
composition of the remaining refrigerant in the cylinder will
change and become unsuitable for use.

Only use R410A.

The use of other types of refrigerant that contain chloride
may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.

Use a vacuum pump with a check valve.

If a vacuum pump that is not equipped with a check valve is
used, the vacuum pump oil may flow into the refrigerant cy­cle and cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.

Prepare tools for exclusive use with R 410A. Do not use the
following tools if they have been used with the conventional
refrigerant: gauge manifold, charging hose, gas leak detec­tor, check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge,
and refrigerant recovery equipment.

If the refrigerant or the refrigerator oil that may be left on these
tools are mixed in with R410A, it may cause the refrigerator oil
in the new system to deteriorate.
Infiltration of water may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Leak detectors for conventional refrigerants will not detect an
R410A leak because R410A is free of chlorine.

Do not use a charging cylinder.

If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of the refrigerant
in the cylinder will change and become unsuitable for use.

Exercise special care when handling tools for use with R410A.

Infiltration of dust, dirt, or water into the refrigerant system
may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.

1) Summary of linear expansion valve (LEV) operation

The LEV is operated by a stepping motor, which operates by receiving a pulse signal from the indoor control board.

The output pulse changes in the following order:

When the valve opens 4 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> 4

When the valve position remains the same, all output signals will be OFF.
If any output signal is missing or if the signal remains ON, the motor vibrates and makes clicking noise.

When the power is turned on, a pulse signal of 2200 pulses is output (valve closure signal), to bring the valve to position A.
When the valve is operating normally, it is free of vibration noise. If the valve locks or when it goes from point E to A in the

figure, it makes louder noise than would be heard when there is an open phase.

Check for abnormal sound/vibration by placing the metal tip of a screwdriver against the valve and the handle side against

your ear.

Pulse signals are output for 10 seconds when the main power is turned on. If there
are LEDs that do not light up at all or remain lit after the pulses are turned off, there
is a problem with the driving circuit.

Locked LEV The motor will idle and make small clicking noise if it is run while the LEV is locked.

If this clicking noise is heard both when the valve is fully closed and while it is being
opened, it indicates a problem.

[ VII Troubleshooting ]

Symptom Checking Criteria Remedy

Valve closure fail­ure (leaky valve)

To check the LEV on the indoor unit, check the indoor unit liquid pipe temperature
that appears on the operation monitor on the outdoor unit's multi control board while
operating the indoor unit in question in the FAN mode and the other indoor units in
the cooling mode.

(A) Termistor (TH21)

(A)

LEV

Normally, the LEV is fully closed while the unit is in the FAN mode. If the valve is
leaky, liquid pipe thermistor reading will be lower than normal. If it is significantly
lower than the inlet temperature on the remote controller, valve closure failure is
suspected. If the amount of leakage is insignificant, replacement of LEV is unnec­essary unless it is causing a problem.

Misconnections of
connectors or con­tact failure

(4) Drain-up mechanism

Measure the resistance between the terminals with a tester.
(coil temperature 20°C)

Perform a visual check for disconnected connectors.
Perform a visual check of lead wire color.

Replace the LEV if
the amount of leak­age is great.

Disconnect the con­nectors on the con­trol board and
perform a continuity
test.
