1-2. Cautions related to new refrigerant
Cautions for units utilising refrigerant R410A
Use new refrigerant pipes.
In case of using the existing pipes for R22, be careful with
the followings.
· For A36 and A42, be sure to perform replacement oper-
ation before test run.
· Change flare nut to the one provided with this product.
Use a newly flared pipe.
· Avoid using thin pipes.
Make sure that the inside and outside of refrigerant piping is clean and it has no contamination
such as sulfur hazardous for use, oxides, dirt,
shaving particles, etc.
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.
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.
Tools for R410A
Gauge manifold
Charge hose
Gas leak detector
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of compressor.
Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene oil (small
amount) as the refrigerant oil applied to flares
and flange connections.
If large amount of mineral oil enters, that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
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
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.
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.)

If no problem are found, indoor controller
board is defective.
(2)LED2 on indoor controller board
is blinking.
• When LED1 on indoor controller board is also blinking.
Connection failure of indoor/outdoor unit connecting
wire
• When LED1 is lit.
1 Mis-wiring of remote controller wires
Under twin triple indoor unit system, 2 or more indoor
units are wired together.
2 Refrigerant address for outdoor unit is wrong or not
set.
Under grouping control system, there are some units
whose refrigerant address is 0.
3 Short-cut of remote controller wires
4 Defective remote controller
Check indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire
for connection failure.
1 Check the connection of remote con troller wires in case of twin triple indoor
unit system. When 2 or more indoor units
are wired in one refrigerant system,
connect remote controller wires to one of
those units.
2 Check the setting of refrigerant address in
case of grouping control system.
If there are some units whose refrigerant
addresses are 0 in one group, set one of
the units to 0 using SW1 (3-6) on outdoor
controller circuit board.
34 Remove remote controller wires and
check LED2 on indoor controller board.
• When LED2 is blinking, check the
short-cut of remote controller wires.
• When LED2 is lit, connect remote
controller wires again and:
if LED2 is blinking, remote controller
is defective; if LED2 is lit, connection
failure of remote controller terminal
block etc. has returned to normal.
