2-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT
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.
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.)
The refrigerant oil applied to flare and flange
connections must be ester oil, ether oil or
alkylbenzene oil in a small amount.
In case of using the existing pipes for R22, be careful with
the followings.
· Be sure to clean the pipes and make sure that the insides
of the pipes are clean.
· Change flare nut to the one provided with this product.
Use a newly flared pipe.
· Avoid using thin pipes.
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.
Contamination inside refrigerant piping can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of compressor.
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.
Handle tools with care.
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of compressor.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of refrigerant will change and the efficiency will be lowered.

Tools for R410A
Use the specified refrigerant only.
Never use any refrigerant other than that specified.
Doing so may cause a burst, an explosion, or fire when the
unit is being used, serviced, or disposed of.
Correct refrigerant is specified in the manuals and on the
spec labels provided with our products.
We will not be held responsible for mechanical failure,
system malfunction, unit breakdown or accidents caused
by failure to follow the instructions.
Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during
operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with
a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A
5
Gravimeter
Unit
[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.)

: Tools for other refrigerants can be used.
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 time higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.
1Thickness 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 0.7mm [7/256 inch] or below.)
2Dimensions 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 air tightness 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.
Dimension A
3Tools for R410A (The following table shows whether conventional tools can be used or not.)
Industry-first flash injection circuit is equipped, which enables to
keep the equal capacity to the rating even when outside temperature is 5°F[-15°C].

HIGH SPEED HEATING START UP
The performance of heating start up is improved. Compared to
PUZ-A type, Hyper Heating Inverter reduced the time for heating start up by about half. After starting operation, the airflow
temperature goes up to 105°F[41°C] quickly in 10 minutes. With
industry first shorter and less frequent defrost, defrosting time is
cut down by 15% compared to PUZ-A type and heating operation
can continuosly run for maximum 150 minutes.
WIDE HEATING RANGE
The heating range is expanded to -13°F[-25°C] compared to
PUZ-A type which is up to 10°F[-12°C].
CHARGELESS SYSTEM
PRE-CHARGED REFRIGERANT IS SUPPLIED FOR PIPING LENGTH AT SHIPMENT.
Max.100ft, 30m
The refrigerant circuit with LEV(Linear Expansion Valve) and power receiver always control the optimal refrigerant level
regardless of the length (max.: 100ft [30m] and mim.: 16ft [5m]) of piping. The additional refrigerant charging work during
installation often causes problems. It is completely eliminated by chargelss system. This unique system improves the quality
and reliability of the work done. It also helps to speed up the installation time.

8-4. M-NET WIRING METHOD
(Points to notice)
(1)
Outside the unit, transmission wires should stay away from electric wires in order to prevent electromagnetic noise from making
an influence on the signal communication. Place them at intervals of more than 5cm. Do not put them in the same conduit tube.
(2) Terminal block (TB7) for transmission wires should never be connected to 208/230V power supply. If it is connected,
electronic parts on M-NET P.C. board may be burnt out.
(3) Use 2-core x 1.25mm2 [AWG16] shield wire (CVVS, CPEVS) for the transmission wire. Transmission signals may not be
sent or received normally if different types of transmission wires are put together in the same multi-conductor cable. Never
do this because this may cause a malfunction.
It would be ok if M-NET wire (non-polar, 2-cores) is arranged in addition to the wiring for A-control.
(4) Ground only one of any appliances through M-NET transmission wire (shield wire). Communication error may occur due to
the influence of electromagnetic noise.
“Ed” error will appear on the LED display of outdoor unit.
“0403” error will appear on the central-control remote controller.
If there are more than 2 grounding spots on the shield wire, noise may enter into the shield wire because the ground wire and shield
wire form one circuit and the electric potential difference occurs due to the impedance difference among grounding spots. In case of
single spot grounding, noise does not enter into the shield wire because the ground wire and shield wire do not form 1 circuit.
To avoid communication errors caused by noise, make sure to observe the single spot grounding method described in the
installation manual.

(1) Use 2-core x 1.25mm
[AWG16] shield wire for electric wires.
(Excluding the case connecting to system controller.)
(2) Connect the wire to the M-NET terminal block. Connect one core of the
transmission wire (non-polar) to A terminal and the other to B. Peel the
shield wire, twist the shield part to a string and connect it to S terminal.
(3) In the system which several outdoor units are being connected, the terminal
(A(M1), B(M2), S) on M-NET terminal block should be individually wired to the other
outdoor unit’s terminal, i.e. A to A, B to B and S to S. In this case, choose one of those outdoor units and drive a screw
to fix an ground wire on the plate as shown on the right figure.
8-4-1. M-NET address setting
In A-control models, M-NET address and refrigerant address should be set only for the outdoor unit. Similar to CITY MULTI
series, there is no need to set the address of outdoor unit and remote controller. To construct a central control system, the
setting of M-NET address should be conducted only upon the outdoor unit. The setting range should be 1 to 50 (the same as
that of the indoor unit in CITY MULTI system), and the address number should be consecutively set in a same group.
Address number can be set by using rotary switches
(SW11 for ones digit and SW12 for tens digit), which
is located on the M-NET board of outdoor unit.
(Initial setting: all addresses are set to “0”.)
8-4-2. Refrigerant address setting
In case of multiple grouping system (multiple refrigerant circuits in one group), indoor units should be connected by remote
controller wiring (TB5) and the refrigerant address needs to be set. Leave the refrigerant addresses to “00” if the group setting is not conducted. Set the refrigerant address by using DIP SW1-3 to -6 on the outdoor controller board. [Initial setting: all
switches are OFF. (All refrigerant addresses are “00”.)]
8-4-3. Regulations in address settings
In case of multiple grouping system, M-NET and refrigerant address settings should be done as explained in the above section. Set the lowest number in the group for the outdoor unit whose refrigerant address is “00” as its M-NET address.
w Refrigerant addresses can be overlapped if they are in the different group.
w In group B, M-NET address of the outdoor unit whose refrigerant address is “00” is not set to the minimum in the group. As
“03” is right for this situation, the setting is wrong. Taking group A as a good sample, set the minimum M-NET address in
the group for the outdoor unit whose refrigerant address is “00”.

Refrigerant recovering (pump down)
Perform the following procedures to recover the refrigerant when moving the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.
1
Turn on the power supply (circuit breaker).
wWhen power is supplied, make sure that “CENTRALLY CONTROLLED” is not displayed on the remote controller. If
“CENTRALLY CONTROLLED” is displayed, the refrigerant recovering (pump down) cannot be completed normally.
2
After the liquid stop valve is closed, set the SWP switch on the control board of the outdoor unit to ON. The compressor
(outdoor unit) and ventilators (indoor and outdoor units) start operating and refrigerant collecting operation begins. LED1
and LED2 on the control board of the outdoor unit are lit.
wSet the SWP switch (push-button type) to ON in order to perform refrigerant recovering operation only when the unit
is stopped. However, refrigerant recovering operation cannot be performed until compressor stops even if the unit is
stopped. Wait 3 minutes until compressor stops and set the SWP switch to ON again.
3Because the unit automatically stops in about 2 to 3 minutes after the refrigerant collecting operation (LED1 is not lit and
LED2 is lit), be sure to quickly close the gas stop valve.
wIn case the outdoor unit is stopped when LED1 is lit and LED2 is not lit, open the liquid stop valve completely, and then
repeat step 2 3 minutes later.

<Error code display by self-diagnosis and actions to be taken for service (summary)>
Present and past error codes are logged and displayed on the wired remote controller and control board of outdoor unit.
Actions to be taken for service, which depends on whether or not the trouble is reoccurring at service, are summarized in the
table below. Check the contents below before investigating details.
10-2. CHECK POINT UNDER TEST RUN
(1) Before test run
• After installation of indoor and outdoor units, piping work and electric wiring work, re-check that there is no refrigerant leak-
age, loosened connections and incorrect polarity.
• Measure impedance between the ground and the power supply terminal block (L1, L2) on the outdoor unit by 500V Megger
and check that it is 1.0M" or over.
wDo not use 500V Megger to indoor/outdoor connecting wire terminal block (S1, S2, S3) and remote controller terminal block
(1, 2). This may cause malfunction.
• Make sure that test run switch (SW4) is set to OFF before turning on power supply.
• Turn on power supply 12 hours before test run in order to protect compressor.
• For specific models which requires higher ceiling settings or auto-recovery feature from power failure, make proper changes
of settings referring to the description of “12. FUNCTION SETTING".
Make sure to read operation manual before test run. (Especially items to secure safety.)

The outdoor unit features automatic capacity control to
provide optimum fan speeds. Therefore, the fan keeps
running at a low speed to meet the current outside air
condition unless it exceeds its available maximum power.
Then, in actuality, the fan may stop or run in the reverse
direction depending on the outside air, but this does not
mean malfunction.
Check for correct motion of auto-vanes.
