SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
When Wiring
……………………………………………………………………
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A
QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN
SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are
completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system.
Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions
when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
When Transporting
……………………………………………………………………
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor
units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to
reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins
on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing
……………………………………………………………………
…In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to walls
and floors.
…In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a
solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water
damage and abnormal vibration.
…In an area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal
frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
…In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Sys-tems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than
drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
……………………………………………………………………
• Ventilate the room well, in the event that refrigerant gas
leaks during the installation. Be careful not to allow contact
of the refrigerant gas with a flame as this will cause the
generation of poisonous gas.
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the
flare and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten
the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
NOTE
Depending on the system type, liquid and gas lines may be
either narrow or wide. Therefore, to avoid confusion the
refrigerant tubing for your particular model is specified as either
“narrow” or “wide” rather than as “liquid” or “gas”.
When Servicing
……………………………………………………………………
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains) before
opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and
wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site when installation is finished. Check that no
metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit.
CAUTION
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the
refrigeration system. Contact of refrigerant gas with fire or
heat can produce poisonous gas.
• Confirm after installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If
the gas comes in contact with a burning stove, gas water
heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can
cause the generation of poisonous gas.

WHO SHOULD USE THIS MANUAL
This service manual is made to assist the service technician apply his knowledge and training
to this model air conditioner. This manual is written both for experienced service persons
and those who are new to air conditioning service. To help those with less experience or
who are new to this kind of unit we have included more explanations of basic procedures in
simple language than is usual in some service manuals. The experienced technician will of
course find he knows many of these things already and can go directly to the procedures and
information he needs; the less experienced technician will better understand what to do even
before he arrives on the job, and therefore be better able to work by himself as well as assist
the more experienced technician.

2-1Room Temperature Control
The Unit adjusts room temperature by turning the outdoor unit’s compressor ON and OFF.
This process is controlled by the thermostat located in the remote control unit.
The figures on this and the next pages show how each part of the system performs when the
room temperature changes and the thermostat activates the compressor to start (thermo ON)
or stop (thermo OFF). Fig. 1 shows about the cooling cycle, and Fig. 2 shows about the
heating cycle.

temperature of the indoor unit coil to prevent freezing.
❑If the refrigerant control is not effective and the temperature continues to drop and stays
below 30°F for 2 minutes continuously, the control circuit stops the compressor. The
compressor does not start again until the temperature rises above 34°F.
The compressor stops for 3 minutes minimum.

Chart Summary and Explanations
❑Discharge temperature is sensed by TH8 (discharge gas sensor).
❑When the temperature rises above 203°F the electronic refrigerant control valve opens at
50 steps/30 seconds until the temperature falls below 200°F.
❑During HEATING operation, when the temperature rises above 221°F, the control circuit
stops the outdoor fan motor until the temperature falls below 194°F. Please note that this
control does not function during COOLING operation.
❑For both COOLING and HEATING modes, if the temperature reaches 239°F the operation
shuts down and alarm P3 appears on the remote controller.
❑The outdoor fan speed is controlled on discharge temp. at heating mode.

2-9Auto. Mode for Automatic Heating/Cooling Switching
❑When the AUTO mode is selected, the microprocessor calculates the difference
between the set temperature and the room temperature, and automatically switches
to the COOLING or HEATING mode to maintain the desired temperature.
This means that if the room temperature is higher or equal to the set temperature,
COOLING operation starts. If the room temperature is lower than the set
temperature, HEATING operation starts.

Chart summary and Explanations
❑This chart shows how the Operation Mode (COOLING or HEATING) is determined by the
microprocessor taking the room temperature into consideration. It also shows the
temperature points at which the cooling or heating mode is switched, when the AUTO mode
is selected.
❑After operation starts, the set temperature shifts automatically by +4 deg. at cooling and
by -4 deg. at heating. For example, if cooling is selected, the set temperature changes from
68°F to 72°F.
(The display of the remote controller remains 68°F.)
❑The change of the operation mode (heating to cooling, cooling to heating) by the change of
the room temperature during the operation is as follows.
Heating to Cooling; Room temp. ≥ Shifted temp +1.0 deg.
Cooling to Heating; Room temp. ≤ Shifted temp -2.0deg.
For example, if the room temperature rises above 73°F (=72+1) during the cooling
operation at the room temperature 68°F set by the remote controller, the operation changes
to cooling. When the room temperature lowers below 63°F (=65-2) thereafter, the operation
changes to heating again.
❑In heating operation, using the body sensor, room temperature control is designed so that
room air temp. is sensed as 8 deg. lower than suctioned air at indoor unit taking into
account of the temperature gap between upper part and lower part of the room.
❑Within 10 minutes after the compressor turns OFF, the operation does not change to
cooling (heating), even when the room temperature changes from C to A (A to C).
❑When switching from cooling (heating) to heating (cooling), the actuation of the 4 way valve
will delay about 30-50 seconds after the compressor turns ON.
When the outdoor temperature is low, frost may form on the outdoor heat exchanger coil.
When this occurred, the defrosting system operates. The microprocessor in the outdoor unit
monitors the relationship between the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger coil and the
outdoor temperature so it can defrost when necessary.

2-13Electronic Expansion Valve
❑ This valve allows very precise and smooth control of the amount of refrigerant flow in the
system. Since the valve is operated by a step motor, the control circuits can open or
close it in very exact amounts, so the degree of heating or cooling can be changed by
just a little, or changed very quickly or slowly.
Fuzzy Control is a controlling system to control electronic refrigerant control valve using
fuzzy logic. It regulates the functions of heating and cooling, as well as some of the
processes inside the unit, by taking account of many different conditions of temperature,
fan speed, etc. These control circuits work automatically to send just the right amount of
refrigerant through the Electronic Refrigerant Control Valve.
❑ The Compressor Current Detection Circuit detects the compressor current and,
depending on the current range, can stop the compressor motor so it will not be
damaged by overcurrent.
❑ Overcurrent can be caused by several factors, particularly mechanical seizing of the
compressor or liquid backflow. Either of these conditions can hold the compressor
to run, and thus drawing so much current that the motor can burn out.

2-16Electronic Expansion Valve Control
The circulation volume of the refrigerant is controlled by a pulse type electronic control valve.
When the power is switched ON, the opening degree of the electronic control valve is
controlled between 90 and 480 steps after setting the initial step at the time when the
thermostat is ON.

Even though the operation is performed every 30 seconds, the control of discharge gas
temperature, high load prevention, outdoor unit coil temperature and freeze prevention
activates when it occurs.
(1) Refrigerant flow distribution control
At the control of flexible combination (a plural number of indoor units are set), the opening
degree of the electronic control valve is controlled by the indoor unit coil temperature.
Cooling: indoor unit coil E2 temperature (located at the middle of coil)
Heating: indoor unit coil E1 temperature (located at the outlet of coil)
(2) Fuzzy control (optimal refrigerant flow rate control)
By outputting the fuzzy estimation result corresponding to the fuzzy input variables (the indoor
unit coil temp., the deviation between the actual discharge gas temp. and the target discharge
gas temperature calculated from the outdoor unit coil temperature and the change thereof),
the electronic refrigerant valve is controlled so that the unit can perform its maximum ability in
accordance with the indoor and outdoor temperature conditions at the operation.

❑ How to use the flow charts to find and solve problems
How to use the self-diagnostic tests to find parts that aren’t working right
❑
This unit is made to be trouble free, and not need much service. However, with time, moving
parts wear out, electronic components break down, and sometimes misuse damages the unit.
The purpose of this section is to help you when the unit is not working properly. Sometimes
your experience will tell you right away where to look for a problem, and when you find it you
will know how to fix it at once.
Often, however, all you have is a symptom like “poor cooling” or “outside fan doesn’t come
on.” Now you must find out the cause of the problem, and then how to fix it. This section
provides several ways to help you go from the symptom to the cause and then the solution.
The first chart, General Troubleshooting Flow Chart is divided into two sections: Poor
heating and Poor Cooling. Under each heading you will find the main things that can go
wrong and cause either of these problems. Sometimes you can start with this chart and find
the problem right away, but often you will come here for more suggestions after you have
looked at the error code on the remote control unit display. This chart gives you the "big
picture" of problems and solutions.
The other main tool we explain here is the use of the Alarm Messages. When a certain part
fails or a safety device has shut the unit down, any alpha-numeric codes appears on the
display to guide you to the problem.
By understanding the code you can often go right to the problem area and then, with this
manual and your knowledge of air conditioning, find the solution.
