2. REFRIGERANT R-410A
FILE NO. SVM-02007
This air conditioner adopts the new refrigerant HFC
(R-410A) which does not damage the ozone lay er.
The working pressure of the new refrigerant R-410A is
1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant (R-22).
The refrigerating oil is also changed in accordance
with change of refrigerant, so be careful that water,
dust, and existing refrigerant or refrigerating oil are not
entered in the refrigerant cycle of the air conditioner
using the new refrigerant during installation work or
servicing time.
The next section describes the precautions for air
conditioner using the new refrigerant. Conforming to
contents of the next section together with the general
cautions included in this manual, perform the correct
and safe work.
2-1. Safety During Installation/Servicing
As R-410A’s pressure is about 1.6 times higher than
that of R-22, improper installation/servicing may cause
a serious trouble. By using tools and materials exclusive for R-410A, it is necessary to carry out installation/
servicing safely while taking the following precautions
into consideration.
(1) Never use refrigerant other than R-410A in an air
conditioner which is designed to operate with
R-410A.
If other refrigerant than R-410A is mixed, pressure
in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally
high, and it may cause personal injury, etc. by a
rupture.
(2) Confirm the used refrigerant name, and use tools
and materials exclusive for the refrigerant R-410A.
The refrigerant name R-410A is indicated on the
visible place of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner using R-410A as refrigerant. To prevent
mischarging, the diameter of the service port
differs from that of R-22
(3) If a refrigeration gas leakage occurs during
installation/servicing, be sure to ventilate fully.
If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire,
a poisonous gas may occur.
(4) When installing or removing an air conditioner,
do not allow air or moisture to remain in the
refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the
refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high
so that a rupture of personal injury may be
caused.
(5) After completion of installation work, check to
make sure that there is no refrigeration gas
leakage.
If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming
into contact with fire in the fan-driven heater,
space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
(6) When an air conditioning system charged with a
large volume of refrigerant is installed in a small
room, it is necessary to exercise care so that,
even when refrigerant leaks, its concentration
does not exceed the marginal level.
If the refrigerant gas leakage occurs and its
concentration exceeds the marginal level, an
oxygen starvation accident may result.
(7) Be sure to carry out installation or removal
according to the installation manual.
Improper installation may cause refrigeration
trouble, water leakage, electric shock, fire, etc.
(8) Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner
may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please
call a qualified air conditioner technician or
electrician.
Improper repair’s may result in water leakage,
electric shock and fire, etc.
2-2. Refrigerant Piping Installation
2-2-1. Piping materials and joints used
For the refrigerant piping installation, copper pipes and
joints are mainly used. Copper pipes and joints suitable for the refrigerant must be chosen and installed.
Furthermore, it is necessary to use clean copper pipes
and joints whose interior surfaces are less affected by
contaminants.
(1) Copper Pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes
which are made of either copper or copper alloy
and it is desirable that the amount of residual oil is
less than 40 mg/10 m. Do not use copper pipes
having a collapsed, deformed or discolored
portion (especially on the interior surface).
Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube
may become blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R-410A incurs pressure higher than when using R-22, it is necessary
to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R-410A
are as shown in Table 2-2-1. Never use copper
pipes thinner than 0.8 mm even when it is available on the market.
For copper pipes, flare joints or socket joints are
used. Prior to use, be sure to remove all
contaminants.
a) Flare Joints
Flare joints used to connect the copper pipes
cannot be used for pipings whose outer
diameter exceeds 20 mm. In such a case,
socket joints can be used.
Sizes of flare pipe ends, flare joint ends and
flare nuts are as shown in Tables 2-2-3 to 2-2-6
below.
T able 2-2-2 Minim um thicknesses of soc ket joints
Socket joints are such that they are brazed for
connections, and used mainly for thick pipings
whose diameter is larger than 20 mm.
Thicknesses of socket joints are as shown in
Table 2-2-2.
copper pipe jointed (mm)(mm)
2-2-1. Processing of piping materials
When performing the refrigerant piping installation,
care should be taken to ensure that water or dust does
not enter the pipe interior, that no other oil other than
lubricating oils used in the installed air conditioner is
used, and that refrigerant does not leak. When using
lubricating oils in the piping processing, use such
lubricating oils whose water content has been removed.
When stored, be sure to seal the container with an
airtight cap or any other cover.
(1) Flare Processing Procedures and Precautions
a) Cutting the Pipe
By means of a pipe cutter, slowly cut the pipe
so that it is not deformed.
b) Removing Burrs and Chips
If the flared section has chips or burrs,
refrigerant leakage may occur. Carefully
remove all burrs and clean the cut surface
before installation.
c) Insertion of Flare Nut
– 6 –
d) Flare Processing
Make certain that a clamp bar and copper pipe
have been cleaned.
By means of the clamp bar, perform the flare
processing correctly.
Use either a flare tool for R-410A or conventional flare tool.
Flare processing dimensions differ according to
the type of flare tool. When using a conventional flare tool, be sure to secure “dimension A”
by using a gauge for size adjustment.

a) Make sure that the flare and union portions do
not have any scar or dust, etc.
b) Correctly align the processed flare surface with
the union axis.
c) Tighten the flare with designated torque by
means of a torque wrench. The tightening
torque for R-410A is the same as that for
conventional R-22. Incidentally, when the
torque is weak, the gas leakage may occur.

2-3. T ools
2-3-1. Required tools
The service por t diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air conditioner using R-410A is changed to
prevent mixing of other refrigerant. To reinforce the pressure-resisting strength, flare processing dimensions and
opposite side dimension of flare nut (For ∅12.70 copper pipe) of the refrigerant piping are lengthened.
The used refrigerating oil is changed, and mixing of oil may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge,
clogging of capillary, etc. Accordingly, the tools to be used are classified into the following three types.
(1) Tools exclusive for R-410A (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R-22))
(2) Tools exclusive for R-410A, but can be also used for conventional refrigerant (R-22)
(3) Tools commonly used for R-410A and for conventional refrigerant (R-22)
The table below shows the tools exclusive for R-410A and their interchangeability.

2-4. Recharging of Refrigerant
When it is necessary to recharge refrigerant, charge the specified amount of new refrigerant according to the
following steps.
Recover the refrigerant, and check no refrigerant
remains in the equipment.
When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated -0.1 Mpa (-76 cmHg), place the handle Low

port at the outdoor unit’s gas side.
in the fully closed position, and turn off the
vacuum pump’s power switch.
Connect the charge hose of the vacuum pump
adapter.
Open fully both packed valves at liquid and gas
sides.
Keep the status as it is for 1 to 2 minutes, and
ensure that the compound gauge’s pointer does
not return.
Set the refrigerant cylinder to the electronic
balance, connect the connecting hose to the
cylinder and the connecting port of the electronic
balance, and charge liquid refrigerant.
Place the handle of the gauge manifold Low in

the fully opened position, and turn on the vacuum
pump’s power switch. Then, evacuating the
refrigerant in the cycle.
1 Never charge refrigerant exceeding the specified amount.
2 If the specified amount of refrigerant cannot be charged, charge refrigerant bit by bit in COOL mode.
3 Do not carry out additional charging.
When additional charging is carried out if refrigerant leaks, the refrigerant composition changes in the
refrigeration cycle, that is characteristics of the air conditioner changes, refrigerant exceeding the
specified amount is charged, and working pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high
pressure, and may cause a rupture or personal injury.

1 Be sure to make setting so that liquid can be charged.
2 When using a cylinder equipped with a siphon, liquid can be charged without turning it upside down.
It is necessary for charging refrigerant under condition of liquid because R-410A is mixed type of refrigerant.
Accordingly, when charging refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, charge it turning the
cylinder upside down if cylinder is not equipped with siphon.

R-410A refrigerant is HFC mixed refrigerant.
Therefore, if it is charged with gas, the composition
of the charged refrigerant changes and the
characteristics of the equipment varies.
2-5. Brazing of Pipes
2-5-1. Materials f or brazing
(1) Silver brazing filler
Silver brazing filler is an alloy mainly composed of
silver and copper. It is used to join iron, copper or
copper alloy, and is relatively expensive though it
excels in solderability.
(2) Phosphor bronze brazing filler
Phosphor bronze brazing filler is generally used to
join copper or copper alloy.
(3) Low temperature brazing filler
Low temperature brazing filler is generally called
solder, and is an alloy of tin and lead. Since it is
weak in adhesive strength, do not use it for
refrigerant pipes.
Electronic
balance
Siphon
Fig. 2-4-2
1 Phosphor bronze brazing filler tends to react
with sulfur and produce a fragile compound
water solution, which may cause a gas leakage.
Therefore, use any other type of brazing filler at
a hot spring resort, etc., and coat the surface
with a paint.
2 When performing brazing again at time of
servicing, use the same type of brazing filler.
2-5-2. Flux
(1) Reason why flux is necessar y
• By removing the oxide film and any foreign
matter on the metal surface, it assists the flow of
brazing filler.
• In the brazing process, it prevents the metal
surface from being oxidized.
• By reducing the brazing filler’s surface tension,
the brazing filler adheres better to the treated
metal.
– 11 –
FILE NO. SVM-02007
(2) Characteristics required f or flux
• Activated temperature of flux coincides with the
brazing temperature.
• Due to a wide effective temperature range, flux
is hard to carbonize.
• It is easy to remove slag after brazing.
• The corrosive action to the treated metal and
brazing filler is minimum.
• It excels in coating performance and is harmless
to the human body.
As the flux works in a complicated manner as
described above, it is necessary to select an
adequate type of flux according tot he type and
shape of treated metal, type of brazing filler and
brazing method, etc.
(3) Types of flux
• Non-corrosive flux
Generally, it is a compound of borax and boric
acid.
It is effective in case where the brazing
temperature is higher than 800°C.
• Activated flux
Most of fluxes generally used for silver brazing
are this type.
It features an increased oxide film removing
capability due to the addition of compounds
such as potassium fluoride, potassium chloride
and sodium fluoride to the borax-boric acid
compound.
(4) Piping materials f or brazing and used brazing
filler/flux
2-5-3. Brazing
As brazing work requires sophisticated techniques,
experiences based upon a theoretical knowledge, it
must be performed by a person qualified.
In order to prevent the oxide film from occurring in the
pipe interior during brazing, it is effective to proceed
with brazing while letting dry Nitrogen gas (N2) flow.
Never use gas other than Nitr ogen gas.
(1) Brazing method to prevent oxidation
1 Attach a reducing valve and a flow-meter to the
Nitrogen gas cylinder.
2 Use a copper pipe to direct the piping material,
and attach a flow-meter to the cylinder.
3 Apply a seal into the clearance between the
piping material and inserted copper pipe for
Nitrogen in order to prevent backflow of the
Nitrogen gas.
4 When the Nitrogen gas is flowing, be sure to
keep the piping end open.
5 Adjust the flow rate of Nitrogen gas so that it is
lower than 0.05 m3/Hr or 0.02 Mpa (0.2 kgf/
cm2) by means of the reducing valve.
6 After performing the steps above, keep the
Nitrogen gas flowing until the pipe cools down
to a certain extent (temperature at which pipes
are touchable with hands).
7 Remove the flux completely after brazing.

1 Do not enter flux into the refrigeration cycle.
2 When chlorine contained in the flux remains
within the pipe, the lubricating oil deteriorates.
Therefore, use a flux which does not contain
chloring.
3 When adding water to the flux, use water which
does not contain chlorine (e.g. distilled water or
ion-exchange water).
Check if the OPERATION indicator goes on and off when the
main switch or breaker is turned on.

(Check the primary and secondary voltage of the transformer.)
Check the fluctuating voltage between 2 and 3. (15~60VDC)
Check if the fuse blows out.
(Check the R04 of the varistor.)
Check the voltage at the No. 4 pin on CN13 connector of the
infrared receiver.
(Check the transformer and the power supply circuit of the

Check the voltage at the No. 1 pin on CN10 connector.
(Check the DB01, R05 and C03.)
Refer to the service data for the detailed failure diagnosis.
• The maximum length of the pipe for this air conditioner is 10 m. The additional charging of refrigerant is
unnecessary because this air conditioner is designed with charge-less specification.

8-1. Outlined of Air Conditioner Control
This air conditioner is a capacity-variable type air
conditioner, which uses DC motor for the indoor fan
motor and AC motor for the outdoor fan motor. And the
capacity proportional control compressor which can
change the motor speed in the range from 18 to 120
rps is mounted. The DC motor drive circuit is mounted
to the indoor unit. The inverter to control compressor
are mounted to the outdoor unit. The entire air conditioner is mainly controlled by the indoor unit controller.
The indoor unit controller drives the indoor fan motor
based upon command sent from the remote controller
and transfers the operation command to the outdoor
unit controller.
The outdoor unit controller receives operation
command from the indoor unit side, and controls the
outdoor fan and the 4 way valves. Besides, detecting
revolution position of the compressor motor, the
outdoor unit controller controls speed of the compressor
motor by controlling output voltage of the inverter and
switching timing of the supply power (current transfer
timing) so that motors drive according to the operation
command. And then, the outdoor unit controller
transfers reversely the operating status information of
the outdoor unit to control the indoor unit controller.
As the compressor adopts four-pole
brushless DC motor, the frequency of the
supply power from inverter to compressor is
two-times cycles of the actual number of
revolution.
(1) Role of indoor unit controller
The indoor unit controller judges the operation
commands from the remote controller and
assumes the following functions.
• Judgement of suction air temperature of the
indoor heat exchanger by using the indoor temp.
sensor (TA sensor).
• Temperature setting of the indoor heat
exchanger by using heat exchanger sensor
(TC sensor).
• Louver motor control
• Indoor fan motor operation control
• LED display control
• Transferring of operation command signal (Serial
signal) to the outdoor unit
• Reception of information of operation status
(Serial signal including outside temp. data) to the
outdoor unit and judgement/display of error
(2) Role of outdoor unit controller
Receiving the operation command signal (Serial
signal) from the indoor controller, the outdoor unit
performs its role.
• Compressor operation
control
• Operation control of
outdoor fan motor
• 4 way valves
• Detection of inverter input current and current
release operation
• Over-current detection and prevention operation
to IGBT module (Compressor stop function)
• Compressor and outdoor fan stop function when
serial signal is off (when the serial signal does
not reach the board assembly of outdoor control
by trouble of the signal system)
• Transferring of operation information (Serial
signal) from outdoor unit to indoor unit
• Detection of outdoor temperature and operation
revolution control
•
Defrost control in heating operation (Temperature
measurement by outdoor heat exchanger and
control for 4 way valves and outdoor fan).
Operations followed
to judgement of serial
signal from indoor
side.

(3) Contents of operation command signal (Serial
signal) from indoor unit controller to outdoor unit
controller
The following three types of signals are sent from
the indoor unit controller.
• Operation mode set on the remote control
• Compressor revolution command signal defined
by indoor temperature and set temperature
(Correction along with variation of room
temperature and correction of indoor heat
exchanger temperature are added.)
• For these two types of signals ([Operation mode]
and [Compressor revolution]), the outdoor unit
controller monitors the input current to the
inverter, and performs the followed operation
within the range that current does not exceed
the allowable value.
• Temperature of indoor heat exchanger by indoor
heat exchanger sensor
(Minimum revolution control)
(4) Contents of operation command signal (Serial
signal) from outdoor unit controller to indoor unit
controller
The following signals are sent from the outdoor
unit controller.
• The current operation mode
• The current compressor revolution
• Outdoor temperature
• Existence of protective circuit operation
For transferring of these signals, the indoor unit
controller monitors the contents of signals, and
judges existence of trouble occurrence.
Contents of judgement are described below.
• Whether distinction of the current operation
status meets to the operation command signal
• Whether protective circuit operates
When no signal is received from the outdoor unit
controller, it is assumed as a trouble.
8-1-1. Capacity control
The cooling and heating capacity is varied by changing
compressor motor speed. The inverter changes
compressor motor speed by changing AC 220-240V
power to DC once, and controls capacity by changing
supply power status to the compressor with transistor
module (includes 6 transistors). The outline of the
control is as follows:
The revolution position and revolution speed of the
motor are detected by detecting winding electromotive
force of the compressor motor under operation, and
the revolution speed is changed so that the motor
drives based upon revolution speed of the operation
command by changing timing (current transfer timing)
to exchange inverter output voltage and supply power
winding.
Detection of the revolution position for controlling is
performed 12 times per 1 revolution of compressor.
The range of supply power frequency to the compressor
differs according to the operation status (COOL, HEAT,
DRY).
Table 8-1-1 Compressor revolution range
Operation modeCompressor revolution (rps)
COOL21 to 66
HEAT21 to 83
8-1-2. Current release control
The outdoor main circuit control section (Inverter
assembly) detects the input current to the outdoor unit.
If the current value with compressor motor speed
instructed from indoor side exceeds the specified
value, the outdoor main circuit control section controls
compressor motor speed by reducing motor speed so
that value becomes closest to the command within the
limited value.
8-1-3. Power factor improvement control
Power factor improvement control is performed mainly
aiming to reduce the current on much power consumption of cooling/heating operation. Controlling starts
from the time when input power has reached at a
certain point. To be concrete, IGBT of the power factor
improvement circuit is used, and the power factor is
improved by keeping IGBT on for an arbitrary period to
widen electro-angle of the input current.
