2. REFRIGERANT R410A
This air conditioner adopts the new refrigerant HFC
(R410A) which does not damage the ozone layer.
The working pressure of the new refrigerant R410A
is 1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant
(R22). 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 R410A’s pressure is about 1.6 times higher than
that of R22, improper installation/servicing may
cause a serious trouble. By using tools and materials exclusiv e for R410A, it is necessary to carry out
installation/servicing safely while taking the following
precautions into consideration.
(1) Nev er use refriger ant other than R410A in an air
conditioner which is designed to operate with
R410A.
If other refrigerant than R410A 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 exclusiv e for the refrigerant
R410A.
The refrigerant name R410A is indicated on the
visible place of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner using R410A as refrigerant. To prevent
mischarging, the diameter of the service port
differs from that of R22.
(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 or 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 R410A incurs
pressure higher than when using R22, it is
necessary to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A
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.

(2) Joints
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.

2-2-2. 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.

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 R410A 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.

(2) Flare Connecting Procedures and Precautions
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 R410A is the same as that for
conventional R22. Incidentally, when the
torque is weak, the gas leakage may occur.

2-3. Tools
2-3-1. Required T ools
The service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air conditioner using R410A 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 Ø12.7 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 follo wing three types.
(1) Tools exclusive for R410A (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22))
(2) Tools exclusiv e for R410A, but can be also used for con ventional refrigerant (R22)
(3) Tools commonly used for R410A and for conventional refrigerant (R22)
The table below shows the tools exclusive for R410A 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.
Connect the charge hose to packed valve service
port at the outdoor unit’s gas side.
Connect the charge hose to the vacuum pump
adapter.
Open fully both packed valves at liquid and gas
sides.
When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated
–0.1 Mpa (–76 cmHg), place the handle Low in the
fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pump’s
power switch.
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.
(For refrigerant charging, see the figure below.)
(1) Nev er 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 R410A 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.

2-5. Brazing of Pipes
2-5-1. Materials for 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.
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) 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.
2-5-2. Flux
(1) Reason why flux is necessary
• By removing the oxide film and any foreign
matter on the metal surface, it assists the flo w
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 –

(2) Characteristics required for flux
Nitrogen gas

Flow meter
M
Stop valve

Rubber plug
• 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 to the type and
shape of treated metal, type of brazing filler and
brazing method, etc.
(3) Types of flux
• Noncorrosive flux
Generally, it is a compound of borax and boric
acid.
It is effective in case where the br azing 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 for brazing and used braz-
ing 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 Nitrogen 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 onto 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
(0.2kgf/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.
Copper - Copper
(1) Do not enter flux into the refrigeration cycle.
(2) When chlorine contained in the flux remains
(3) When adding water to the flux, use water
(4) Remove the flux after brazing.

8. OPERATION DESCRIPTION
8-1. Outline of Air Conditioner Control
This air conditioner is a capacity-variable type air
conditioner, which uses DC motor for the indoor fan
motor and the outdoor fan motor. And the capacityproportional control compressor which can change
the motor speed in the range from 13 to 88 rps is
mounted. The DC motor drive circuit is mounted to
the indoor unit. The compressor and the inverter to
control fan motor 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 pulse modulating valve. (P.M.V)
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 transf er 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 cyc les 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 .
• Judgment of suction air temperature of the
indoor heat exchanger by using the indoor
temp. sensor. (TA sensor)
• Judgment of the indoor heat exchanger temperature by using heat exchanger sensor (TC
sensor) (Prevent-freezing control, etc.)
• Louver motor control
• Indoor fan motor operation control
• LED (Light Emitting Diode) 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 judgment/display of error
• Air purifier operation control
(2) Role of outdoor unit controller
Receiving the operation command signal (Serial
signal) from the indoor unit controller, the outdoor
unit performs its role.
• Compressor operation control
• Operation control of outdoor
fan motor
• P.M.V. control
Operations followed to
judgment of serial signal
from indoor side.
• 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 controller to indoor
unit controller
• Detection of outdoor temperature and operation
rev olution control
(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.)
• Temperature of indoor heat exchanger
• For these signals ([Operation mode] and
[Compressor rev olution] indoor heat exchanger
temperature), the outdoor unit controller
monitors the input current to the inverter , and
performs the follo wed operation within the
range that current does not exceed the allowable value.
(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 judgment 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.

9. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
9-1. Safety Cautions
For general public use
Power supply cord of outdoor unit shall be more than 1.5mm² (H07RN-F or 245IEC66) polychloroprene
sheathed flexible cord.
CAUTION
New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation
• THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT
DESTROY OZONE LAYER.
R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurities such as water, oxidizing membrane , and oils.
The working pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx. 1.6 times of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with
adoption of the new refrigerant, the refrigeration machine oil has also been changed. Therefore, during
installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigeration machine oil does not enter into
the new type refrigerant R410A air conditioner circuit.
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging
port on main unit and installation tools are different from those for the conventional refrigerant units. Accordingly, special tools are required for the new refrigerant (R410A) units. For connecting pipes, use new and
clean piping materials with high pressure fittings made for R410A only, so that water and/or dust does not
enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are some problems with pressure fittings and
possible impurities in the existing piping.
CAUTION
TO DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by a circuit breaker or a switch with a contact
separation of at least 3mm.
DANGER
• FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONS ONLY.
• TURN OFF MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK. MAKE SURE ALL
POWER SWITCHES ARE OFF. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
• CORRECTLY CONNECT THE CONNECTING CABLE. IF THE CONNECTING CABLE IS INCORRECTLY
CONNECTED, ELECTRIC PARTS MAY BE DAMAGED.
• CHECK THAT THE EARTH WIRE IS NOT BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED BEFORE INSTALLATION.
• DO NOT INSTALL NEAR CONCENTRATIONS OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS OR GAS VAPORS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
• TO PREVENT THE INDOOR UNIT FROM OVERHEATING AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD, PLACE THE
UNIT WELL AWAY (MORE THAN 2M) FROM HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS RADIATORS, HEAT REGISTORS,
FURNACE, STOVES, ETC.
• WHEN MOVING THE AIR-CONDITIONER FOR INSTALLATION IN ANOTHER PLACE, BE VERY CAREFUL
NOT T O ALLOW THE SPECIFIED REFRIGERANT (R410A) TO BECOME MIXED WITH ANY OTHER GASEOUS BODY INTO THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT. IF AIR OR ANY OTHER GAS IS MIXED IN THE REFRIGERANT, THE GAS PRESSURE IN THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT WILL BECOME ABNORMALLY
HIGH AND IT MAY RESULT IN THE PIPE BURSTING AND POSSIBLE PERSONNEL INJURIES.
• IN THE EVENT THAT THE REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKS OUT OF THE PIPE DURING THE INSTALLATION
WORK, IMMEDIATELY LET FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM. IF THE REFRIGERANT GAS IS HEATED, SUCH
AS BY FIRE, GENERATION OF POISONOUS GAS MAY RESULT.

Changes in the product and components
Changes
As pressure is high, it is impossible to measure by means of
conventional gauge. In order to prevent any other refrigerant from
being charged, each port diameter has been changed.
In order to increase pressure resisting strength, hose materials
and port size have been changed (to 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch).
When purchasing a charge hose, be sure to confirm the port size.
As pressure is high and gasification speed is fast, it is difficult to
read the indicated value by means of charging cylinder, as air
bubbles occur.
The size of opposite sides of flare nuts have been increased.
Incidentally,
a common wrench is used for nominal diameters 1/4 and 3/8.
By increasing the clamp bar’s receiving hole, strength of spring in
the tool has been improved.
Used when flare is made by using conventional flare tool.
Connected to conventional vacuum pump. It is necessary to use
an adapter to prevent vacuum pump oil from flowing back to the
charge hose. The charge hose connecting part has two ports-one
for conventional refrigerant (7/16 UNF 20 threads per inch) and
one for R410A. If the vacuum pump oil (mineral) mixes with R410A
a sludge may occur and damage the equipment.
Gas leakage detector
• Incidentally, the “refrigerant cylinder” comes with the refrigerant designation (R410A) and protector coating in the
U. S’s ARI specified rose color (ARI color code: PMS 507).
• Also, the “charge port and packing for refrigerant cylinder” require 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch corresponding to
the charge hose’s port size.

connection piping to be between 16 m to 25 m.
• An allowable height level is up to 10 m.
• A place where the drain water does not raise any
problem.
Precautions for adding refrigerant
• Use a scale having a precision with at least 10 g per
index line when adding the refrigerant. Do not use a
bathroom scale or similar instrument.
• Use liquid refrigerant when refilling the refrigerant.
Since the refrigerant is in liquid form, it can fill quickly.
Therefore, perform the filling operation carefully and
insert the refrigerant gradually.
CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit without anything blocking
the air discharging.
2. When the outdoor unit is installed in a place
exposed always to a strong wind like a coast or on
a high storey of a building,secure the normal fan
operation using a duct or a wind shield.
3. Specially in windy areas, install the unit prevent
the admission of wind.
4. Installation in the following places may result in
trouble. Do not install the unit in such places.
• A place full of machine oil.
• A saline-place such as the coast.
• A place full of sulfide gas.
• A place where high-frequency
waves are likely to be generated
as from audio equipment,

After the piping has been connected to the indoor unit,
you can perform the air purge together at once.
AIR PURGE
Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the
indoor unit using vacuum pump. Do not use the
refrigerant in the outdoor unit. For details, see the
manual of vacuum pump.
Use a vacuum pump
Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-flow
prevention function so that oil inside the pump does
not flow back into the air conditioner pipes when the
pump stops. (If oil inside the vacuum pump enters into
the air conditioner circuit which uses R410A, trouble
with the refrigeration system may occur.)
1. Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve to
the service port of the gas side packed valve.
2. Connect the charge hose to the port of vacuum pump.
3. Open fully the low pressure side handle of the
gauge manifold valve.
4. Operate the vacuum pump to start for evacuating.
Perform evacuating for about 15 minutes if the
piping length is 20 meters. (15 minutes for 20
meters) (assuming a pump capacity of 27 liters per
minute.) Then confirm that the compound pressure
gauge reading is –101 kPa ( –76 cmHg).
5. Close the low pressure side valve handle of gauge
manifold.
6. Open fully the valve
stem of the packed
valves (both side
of Gas and Liquid).
7. Remove the
charging hose from
the service port.
8. Securely tighten
the caps on the
packed valves.

NOTE :
A large-capacity electrolytic capacitor is used in the
outdoor unit controller (inverter). Therefore, if the
power supply is turned off, charge (charging voltage
DC280 to 380V) remains and discharging takes a lot
of time. After turning off the power source, if touching the charging section before discharging, an
electrical shock may be caused. Discharge the
electrolytic capacitor completely by using soldering
iron, etc.
< Discharging method >
(1) Remove the inverter cover (plating) by opening
four mounting claws .
(2) As shown below, connect the discharge resis-
tance (approx. 100Ω40W) or plug of the soldering iron to voltage between + – terminals of the
