 Carry out test run to confirm that no abnormality occurs after the servicing. Then, explain to user the operation,

care and maintenance as stated in instructions. Please remind the customer to keep the operating instructions for
future reference.

Do not install outdoor unit near handrail of veranda. When installing air-conditioner unit on veranda of a high rise building, child may

1.
climb up to outdoor unit and cross over the handrail causing an accident.

Do not use unspecified cord, modified cord, joint cord or extension cord for power supply cord. Do not share the single outlet with

2.
other electrical appliances. Poor contact, poor insulation or over current will cause electrical shock or fire.

3. Do not tie up the power supply cord into a bundle by band. Abnormal temperature rise on power supply cord may happen.

4. Do not insert your fingers or other objects into the unit, high speed rotating fan may cause injury.

5. Do not sit or step on the unit, you may fall down accidentally.

6. Keep plastic bag (packaging material) away from small children, it may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing.

When installing or relocating air conditioner, do not let any substance other than the specified refrigerant, eg. air etc mix into

7.

refrigeration cycle (piping). Mixing of air etc. will cause abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury
etc.

8. Do not add or replace refrigerant other than specified type. It may cause product damage, burst and injury etc.

For R410A model, use piping, flare nut and tools which is specified for R410A refrigerant. Using of existing (R22) piping, flare nut and tools
may cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigerant cycle (piping), and possibly result in explosion and injury.

9.
Thickness or copper pipes used with R410A must be more than 1/32" (0.8 mm). Never use copper pipes thinner than 1/32" (0.8 mm).

It is desirable that the amount of residual oil is less than 0.0008 oz/ft (40 mg/10 m).
Engage authorized dealer or specialist for installation. If installation done by the user is incorrect, it will cause water leakage, electrical

10.
shock or fire.

11. Install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water leakage, electrical shock or fire.

Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for installation. Otherwise, it will cause the set to fall, water leakage, fire or electrical

12.
shock.

10. Operation Control

10.1 Basic Function

Inverter control, which equipped with a microcomputer in determining the most suitable operation mode as time
passes, automatically adjusts output power for maximum comfort always. In order to achieve the suitable operation
mode, the microcomputer maintains the set temperature by measuring the temperature of the environment and
performing temperature shifting. The compressor at outdoor unit is operating following the frequency instructed by
the microcomputer at indoor unit that judging the condition according to internal setting temperature and intake air
temperature.

10.1.1 Internal Setting Temperature

Once the operation starts, remote control setting temperature will be taken as base value for temperature shifting
processes. These shifting processes are depending on the air conditioner settings and the operation environment.
The final shifted value will be used as internal setting temperature and it is updated continuously whenever the
electrical power is supplied to the unit.

 Temperature sampling is controlled by outdoor unit where room temperature for all power supply ON indoor unit

could be obtained.

 When capability supply to the indoor unit is OFF and the compressor is ON during heating operation, the indoor

fan motor is stopped. During this condition, 15 seconds after sampling signal from outdoor unit is received, the
indoor fan start operation at low fan speed.

 However, within first 4 minutes of capability stopped supply to the indoor unit, even sampling signal is received,

the sampling control is cancelled.

10.5 Automatic Operation

 This mode can be set using remote control and the operation is decided by remote control setting temperature,

remote control operation mode, indoor intake and outdoor air temperature.

 During operation mode judgment, indoor fan motor (with speed of -Lo) and outdoor fan motor are running for

30 seconds to detect the indoor intake and outdoor air temperature. The operation mode is decided based on
below chart.
