Warning
If refrigerant gas blows off during the work, do not touch the refrigerant gas as it may cause frostbite.
If refrigerant gas leaks during the work, ventilate the room.
If refrigerant gas catches fire, harmful gas may be generated.
Do not mix any gas other than the specified refrigerant gas in the refrigerating cycle.
If air or other contaminants mix with the gas, pressure will become extremely high in the refrigerating cycle,
which may cause a unit breakdown."
When the welded section of the compressor intake or discharge pipe is to be disconnected, perform it in
a well-ventilated place after sufficiently recovering the refrigerant gas.
Any residue gas may jet out refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, which may cause an injury.
When the work is to be performed in a high place (About 2 meters or more), make sure to wear a safety helmet,
gloves and safety belt. Insufficient safety gear may cause a serious injury in case of a fall.
When the unit is to be relocated, confirm that the new installation location has sufficient strength for the weight of the unit.
Insufficient strength of the installation location and incomplete installation work may cause an injury due to
the unit falling.
When the remote controller batteries are replaced, dispose of the old batteries out of the reach of children.
If a child swallows a battery, make sure that the child gets immediate medical attention.
Caution
Prohibit
Prohibit
Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this may cause an electric shock or fire.
For the repair work in places with high humidity or moisture, make sure to ground the unit.
Failure to do so may cause an electric shock.
Confirm that the component attachment position, wiring condition, soldering condition and connector connection
are normal.
If not, it may cause overheating or fire.
Confirm that the temperature around the compressor is not too high, and then perform the repair work.
Failure to do so may cause a burn.
Perform welding work in a place with good ventilation.
If the work is performed in a poorly ventilated area, it might cause a lack of oxygen.
If the installation plate or attachment frame has deteriorated due to corrosion, etc., replace it.
Failure to do so may cause an injury due to the unit falling.
When the cleaning is to be performed, make sure to turn off the power and pull out the plug.
Touching the fan that is rotating at high speed may result in an injury.
When the indoor unit is to be removed, do not place it on an incline.
Doing so may cause wet furniture because water left inside may trickle down.
Do not hold the sharp end of the unit or the aluminum fins, as it may cause an injury to your hand or finger.
Prohibit
Prohibit
Prohibit
After repairs, make sure to measure the insulation resistance and confirm that the value is 1 Mohm or more.
Any insulation error may cause an electric shock.
After repairs, make sure to check the drainage of the indoor unit.
Inappropriate drainage may cause wet furniture and floors due to water leakage.

7-1. Address Setting of the Remote
Controller
The address can be set in order to prevent
interference between remote controllers when two
indoor units are installed near each other. The
address is normally set to "A." To set a different
address, it is necessary to change the address on the
second remote controller.
NOTE
Once changed, you cannot restore the original
address setting of the air conditioner.
(1) Switch on the power source.
(2) Break the address-setting tab marked "A" on the
second remote controller to change the address
(Fig. 1). When the tab is removed, the address is
automatically set to B (Fig. 2).
(3) Press and hold the remote controller HIGH

9. TROUBLESHOOTING (BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE)
9-1. Precautions before Performing Inspection or Repair
After checking the self-diagnostics monitor, turn the power OFF before starting inspection or repair.
High-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used inside the outdoor unit controller (inverter). They retain an electrical charge
(charging voltage DC 310V) even after the power is turned OFF, and some time is required for the charge to dissipate. Be
careful not to touch any electrified parts before the controller LED (red) turns OFF.
If the outdoor controller is normal, approximately 30 seconds will be required for the charge to dissipate. However, allow at
least 5 minutes for the charge to dissipate if there is thought to be any trouble with the outdoor controller.
9-2. Method of Self-Diagnostics
Follow the procedure below to perform detailed trouble diagnostics.
NOTE
1: If the operation lamp blinks every 0.5 seconds immediately when the
power is turned ON, there is an external ROM (OTP data) failure on the
indoor circuit board, or a ROM socket insertion problem, or the ROM
has not been installed.
2: The failure mode is stored in memory even when the power is not ON.
Follow the procedure below to perform diagnostics.
PROCEDURE
After turning on power to the air conditioner, use the remote controller and
follow the steps below to execute self-diagnostics.
Step 1: Press and hold the remote controller HIGH POWER button and 1
HR TIMER button. Then, press and hold the ACL (reset) button
with a pointed object such as the tip of a pen. After 5 seconds,
release ACL button first, then release HIGH POWER and 1 HR
TIMER buttons, "oP-1" (test run) appears, blinking in the remote
controller clock display area.
Step 2: Next, press the 1 HR TIMER button once to change the display
from "oP-1" to "oP-3" (self-diagnostics). (The display continues to
blink.)
Step 3: Finally press the ON/OFF button to engage self-diagnostics mode.

• The self-diagnostics function utilizes the 3 indicator lamps on the main
unit, in combinations of ON lamps, blinking lamps, and OFF lamps, to
report the existence of sensor trouble or a protective operation. (The
lamps blink or remain ON for 5 seconds, then turn OFF for 2 seconds.)
Self-diagnostics is completed when the buzzer sounds 3 short beeps.
• A maximum of 3 self-diagnostics reports are displayed, for 5 seconds
each, beginning with the most recent report. Following this display the
lamps turn OFF. In order to view the self-diagnostics results again,
press the ON/OFF button again.
• The 3 lamps remain OFF if no trouble has occurred.
<IMPORTANT> After self-diagnostics is completed, be sure to press the

11. REFRIGERANT R410A:
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING UNIT
11-1. Characteristics of New Refrigerant R410A
11-1-1. What is New Refrigerant R410A?
R410A is a new refrigerant that contains two types of pseudo-non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture. Its
refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency are about the same level as the conventional refrigerant, R22.
11-1-2. Components (mixing proportions)
HFC32 (50%) / HFC125 (50%)
11-1-3. Characteristics
Less toxic, more chemically stable refrigerant
The composition of refrigerant R410A changes whether it is in a gaseous phase or liquid phase. Thus, when
there is a refrigerant leak the basic performance of the air conditioner may be degraded because of a change in
composition of the remaining refrigerant. Therefore, do not add new refrigerant. Instead, recover the
remaining refrigerant with the refrigerant recovery unit. Then, after evacuation, totally recharge the specified
amount of refrigerant with the new refrigerant at its normal mixed composition state (in liquid phase).
When refrigerant R410A is used, the composition will differ depending on whether it is in gaseous or liquid
phase, and the basic performance of the air conditioner will be degraded if it is charged while the refrigerant is in
gaseous state. Thus, always charge the refrigerant while it is in liquid phase.
CAUTION
Ether-type oil is used for compressor oil for R410A-type units, which is different
from the mineral oil used for R22. Thus more attention to moisture prevention and
faster replacement work compared with conventional models are required.
62
11-2. Checklist before Servicing
Use a clutch-type flare tool for R410A or the conventional flare tool. Note that sizes of the resultant flares differ
between these two tools. Where a conventional flare tool is used, make sure to observe A Specification (amount of
extrusion) by using the flare spacer.
Diameter of tube D

Spacer
A
Refrigerant R410A is more easily affected by dust or moisture compared with R22, thus be sure to temporarily
cover the ends of the tubing with caps or tape prior to installation.
Never use 0.0276" (0.7 mm)-thick copper tubing or tubing which is less than 0.0315" (0.8 mm) in thickness, since
air conditioners with R410A are subject to higher pressure than those using R22 and R407C.
No addition of compressor oil for R410A
No additional charge of compressor oil is permitted.
No use of refrigerant other than R410A
Never use a refrigerant other than R410A.
If refrigerant R410A is exposed to fire
Through welding, etc., toxic gas may be released when R410A refrigerant is exposed to fire. Therefore, be sure
to provide ample ventilation during installation work.
Caution in case of R410A leak
Check for possible leak points with the special leak detector for R410A. If a leak occurs inside the room,
immediately provide thorough ventilation.

CAUTION
To prevent other refrigerants (R22, R407C) from being mistakenly charged to this unit, shape and external
diameter of the service port screw has been altered.
<External diameter of service port> R410A : 5/16"
R22, R407C : 1/4"
The above tools specifically for R410A must not be used for R22 and R407C.
Doing so will cause malfunction of the unit.
For the above vacuum pump (*1, *2) and vacuum pump adapter (*3), those for
R22-type units can be used for R410A-type. However, they must be used
exclusively for R410A and never alternately with R22 and R407C.

11-4. Tubing Installation Procedures
When the tubes are connected, always apply HAB oil on the flare portions to improve the sealing of tubing.
The following is the HAB oil generally used:
Esso: ZERICE S32
NOTE
For details on tubing installation procedures, refer to the installation manuals attached to the indoor
unit and outdoor unit.
64
11-5. In Case of Compressor Malfunction
CAUTION
Should the compressor malfunction, be sure to make the switch to a replacement
compressor as quickly as possible.
Use only the tools indicated exclusively for R410A. See "11-3. Tools
Specifically for R410A."
11-5-1. Procedure for Replacing Compressor
(1) Recovering refrigerant
Any remaining refrigerant inside the unit should not be
released to the atmosphere, but recovered using the
refrigerant recovery unit for R410A.
Do not reuse the recovered refrigerant, since it will contain
impurities.
(2) Replacing Compressor
Soon after removing seals of both discharge and suction
tubes of the new compressor, replace it quickly.
(3) Checking for sealing
Use nitrogen gas for the pressurized gas, and never use a
refrigerant other than R410A. Also do not use oxygen or
any flammable gas.
(4) Evacuation
(1) Recover refrigerant
OK
(2) Replace compressor

Use a solenoid valve-installed vacuum pump so that
even if power is cut off in the middle of evacuation of air
due to a power interruption, the valve will prevent the
pump oil from flowing back.
The equipment may be damaged if moisture remains in
the tubing, thus carry out the evacuation thoroughly.

(5) Recharging
Configuration and characteristics of cylinders
Be sure to charge the specified amount of
refrigerant in liquid state using the service port
of the wide tube service valve. The proper
amount is listed on the unit's nameplate.
When the entire amount cannot be charged all at
once, charge gradually while operating the unit in
Cooling Operation.
CAUTION
Never charge a large amount
of liquid refrigerant at once to
the unit. This may cause
damage to the compressor.
When charging with a refrigerant cylinder, use an
electronic scale for charging refrigerant. In this
case, if the volume of refrigerant in the cylinder
becomes less than 20% of the fully-charged
amount, the composition of the refrigerant starts
to change. Thus, do not use the refrigerant if
the amount in the charging cylinder is less
than 20%.
Also, charge the minimum necessary amount to
the charging cylinder before using it to charge
the air conditioning unit.

For the remaining refrigerant, refer to the
instructions of the refrigerant manufacturer.
If using a charging cylinder, transfer the specified
amount of liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant
cylinder to the charging cylinder.
Prepare an evacuated charging cylinder
beforehand.

11-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking
CAUTION
Never attempt to charge additional refrigerant when refrigerant has been leaking
from the unit. Follow the procedure described below to locate points of leaks and
carry out repairs, then recharge the refrigerant.
(1) Detecting Leaks
Use the detector for R410A to locate refrigerant leak
points.
(2) Recovering refrigerant
Never release the gas to the atmosphere; recover
residual refrigerant using the refrigerant recovery unit for
R410A, instead.
Do not reuse the recovered refrigerant because its
composition will have been altered.
(3) Welding leaking points
Confirm again that no residual refrigerant exists in the unit
before starting welding.
Weld securely using flux and wax for R410A.
Prevent oxide film from forming inside the tubes utilizing
substitution with nitrogen (N2) in the refrigerant circuit of
the unit. Leave ends of tubes open during welding.

11-7. Charging Additional Refrigerant
11-7-1. When Tubes are Extended
Observe the proper amount of refrigerant as stated in this service manual or the installation manual that came
with the indoor unit. Charge additional refrigerant in liquid state only.
CAUTION
Never charge additional refrigerant if refrigerant is leaking from the unit. Follow
instructions given in "11-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking" and completely carry
out repairs. Only then should you recharge the refrigerant.
11-8. Retro-Fitting Existing Systems
11-8-1. Use of Existing Units
Never use new refrigerant R410A for existing units which use R22. This will cause the air conditioner to
operate improperly and may result in a hazardous condition.
11-8-2. Use of Existing Tubing
If replacing an older unit that used refrigerant R22 with a R410A unit, do not use its existing tubing. Instead,
completely new tubing must be used.

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
Avoid
• Do not block neither the air intake nor the air outlet. It may
cause less performance, and may leads to malfunctions.
• Do not let direct sunlight into the room. Use sunshades, blinds or
curtains. If the walls and ceiling of the room are warmed by the
sun, it will take longer to cool the room.
Do
• Always try to keep the air filter clean. (Refer to “CARE AND
CLEANING”.) A clogged filter will impair the performance of the
unit.
• To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows, doors and
any other openings closed.
The flap automatically closes when the unit is off.
• Use the FLAP button on the remote controller to adjust the
position of the flap. If you move the flap by hand, the flap
position according to the remote controller and the actual
flap position may no longer match. If this should happen,
shut off the unit, wait for the flap to close, and then turn on

(Low Ambient Cooling models only)
Air intake baffle
NOTE
It is recommended to use baffle plates for models
CU-KS12NK1A and CU-KS18NKUA. The baffle plates
are not normally required for the other models.
When the outdoor unit is installed in a position exposed
to strong wind (such as seasonal winds with low air temperature in winter), baffle plates must be installed on the
outdoor unit. (Fig. 5c)
This unit is designed so that the fan of the outdoor unit
runs at low speed when the air conditioner is operated at
low outdoor air temperatures. When the outdoor unit is
exposed to strong wind, the system pressure drops
because of the freeze protector.
Install a pair of windbaffle plates at the front and back of
the outdoor unit if it will be subject to strong wind during
the winter. (Figs. 5c to 5k)
Material to be used: Metal plate with corrosion protection treatment

3. How to Install the Indoor Unit
3-1. Preparation for Suspending
This unit uses a drain pump. Use a carpenter’s level to
check that the unit is level.
3-2. Suspending the Indoor Unit
(1) Fix the suspension bolts securely in the ceiling using
the method shown in the diagrams, by attaching
them to the ceiling support structure, or by any other
method that ensures that the unit will be securely
and safely suspended. (Fig. 6-1)
(2) Follow the diagram to make the holes in the ceiling.

)
(3) Determine the pitch of the suspension bolts using
the supplied full-scale installation diagram. The diagram shows the relationship between the positions
of the suspension fitting, unit, and panel. (Fig. 6-2)
3-3. Placing the Unit Inside the Ceiling
(1) Be sure to remove the fan protection (4pcs) for
transportation before hanging up the indoor unit.
(2) When placing the unit inside the ceiling, determine
the pitch of the suspension bolts using the supplied
full-scale installation diagram. (Fig. 6-3)
Tubing and wiring must be laid inside the ceiling
when suspending the unit. If the ceiling is already
constructed, lay the tubing and wiring into position
for connection to the unit before placing the unit
inside the ceiling.
(3) The length of suspension bolts must be appropriate
for a distance between the bottom of the bolt and the
bottom of the unit of more than 19/32" (15 mm) as
shown in the diagram. (Fig. 6-3)
(4) Thread the 3 hexagonal nuts (locally purchased) and
2 supplied washers onto each of the 4 suspension
bolts as shown in the diagram. Use 1 nut and 1
washer for the upper side, and 2 nuts and 1 washer
for the lower side, so that the unit will not fall off the
suspension lugs. (Fig. 6-4)
(5) Adjust so that the distance between the unit and the
ceiling bottom is 1/2" (13 mm) to 23/32" (18 mm).
Tighten the nuts on the upper side and lower side of
the suspension lug. (Fig. 6-4)
