1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For general public use
Power supply cord of outdoor unit shall be more than 1.5 mm 2 (H07RN-F or 245IEC66) polychloroprene
sheathed flexible cord.
• Read this “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully bef ore servicing.
• The precautions described below include the important items regarding safety. Observe them without fail.
• After the servicing work, perform a trial operation to check for any problem.
• Turn off the main power supply switch (or breaker) before the unit maintenance.
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 because
the working pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx. 1.6 times of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with the
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 used 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 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 3 mm.
DANGER
• ASK AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR QUALIFIED INSTALLATION PROFESSIONAL TO INSTALL/MAINTAIN THE AIR CONDITIONER.
INAPPROPRIATE SER VICING MAY RESULT IN WATER LEAKAGE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
• 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.
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE
The high voltage circuit is incorporated.
Be careful to do the check service, as the electric shock may be caused in case of touching parts
on the P.C. board by hand.
• CORRECTLY CONNECT THE CONNECTING CABLE. IF THE CONNECTING CABLE IS INCORRECTLY CONNECTED , ELECTRIC PAR TS MAY BE DAMAGED.
• CHECK THAT THE EARTH WIRE IS NOT BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED BEFORE SERVICE AND
INSTALLATION. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.

• WHEN MOVING THE AIR-CONDITIONER FOR INSTALLATION IN ANOTHER PLACE, BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO 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 RESUL T IN THE PIPE BURSTING AND POSSIBLE PERSONNEL INJURIES.
• IN THE EVENT THAT THE REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKS OUT OF THE PIPE DURING THE SERVICE
WORK AND 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.

switches.
• Do not install in a place which cannot bear the weight of the unit. Personal injury and property
damage can result if the unit falls.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas
may generate.
• The electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Installation
Manual. Make sure the air conditioner uses an exclusive circuit.
An insufficient circuit capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.
• When wiring, use the specified cables and connect the terminals securely to prevent external
forces applied to the cable from affecting the terminals.
• Be sure to provide grounding.
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or ground wires for telephone cables.
• Conform to the regulations of the local electric company when wiring the power supply.
Inappropriate grounding may cause electric shock.
CAUTION
• Exposure of unit to water or other moisture before installation may result in an electrical short.

3. 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.
3-1. 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 exclusive for R410A, it is necessary to carry out
installation/servicing safely while taking the following
precautions into consideration.
1. Never use refrigerant 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 exclusive 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 concentr ation
does not exceed the marginal le vel.
If the refrigerant gas leakage occurs and its
concentration exceeds the marginal le vel, an
oxygen starvation accident ma y 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.
3-2. Refrigerant Piping Installation
3-2-1. 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 m ust 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 3-2-1. 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.
Sizes of flare pipe ends, flare joint ends and flare nuts are as shown in Tables 3-2-3 to 3-2-6 below.
b) Socket Joints
Socket joints are such that they are brazed for connections, and used mainly for thick pipings whose
diameter is larger than 20 mm.

3-2-2. 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 than lubricating oils used in the installed air-water heat pump 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
– 8 –
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 “dimen-
sion 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 b y 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.
When it is strong, the flare nut may crack and may be made non-removable. When choosing the tighten-
ing torque, comply with values designated by man ufacturers. Table 3-2-7 shows reference values.
NOTE :
When applying oil to the flare surface, be sure to use oil designated by the manufacturer.
If any other oil is used, the lubricating oils may deteriorate and cause the compressor to burn out.

3-3. Tools
3-3-1. Required T ools
The service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air-water heat pump using R410A is
changed to prev ent 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 following three types.
1. Tools exclusive for R410A (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22))
2. Tools exclusive for R410A, but can be also used for conventional 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.

3-4. 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. 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 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.

3-5. Brazing of Pipes
3-5-1. Materials for Brazing
1. Silver brazing filler
Silver brazing filler is an allo y 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.
Electronic
balance
Siphon
Fig. 3-4-2
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 perf orming brazing again at time of
servicing, use the same type of brazing filler.
3-5-2. Flux
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.
1. Reason why flux is necessary
• 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.
– 13 –
2. Characteristics required for 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 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 brazing temperature is higher than 800°C.
• Activated flux
Most of fluxes generally used for silver brazing
are this type.
It features an increased o xide 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
brazing filler/flux
3-5-3. Brazing
As brazing work requires sophisticated techniques,
experiences based upon a theoretical knowledge, it
must be performed by a person qualified.
In order to prev ent 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.

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
chlorine.
3. When adding water to the flux, use w ater
which does not contain chlorine (e.g. distilled
water or ion-exchange water).

9. OPERATION DESCRIPTION
9-1. Outline of Air Conditioner Control
This air conditioner is a capacity-variable type air
conditioner, which uses AC or DC motor for the indoor
for motor and the outdoor fan motor. And the capacityproportional control compressor which can change the
motor speed in the range from 11 to 96 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 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 suppl y 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.
• 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
• 4-way valve control
Operations follow ed 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
revolution control
• Defrost control in heating operation (Temp.
measurement by outdoor heat exchanger and
control for 4-way valve and outdoor fan)
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 controller
• 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 [Com-
pressor revolution] indoor heat exchanger temperature), 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.
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

Changes in the product and components
In the case of an air conditioner using R410A, in order to prev ent any other refrigerant from being charged
accidentally, the service port diameter of the outdoor unit control valve (3 way v alve) has been changed.
(1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch)
• In order to increase the pressure resisting strength of the refrigerant piping flare processing diameter and size
of opposite side of flare nuts has been changed. (for copper pipes with nominal dimensions 1/2 and 5/8)

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.

CAUTION
A high voltage (equivalent to the supply voltage) is also energized to ground through the
sensors, PMV and other low-voltage circuits. The sensor leads and other wires are covered
with insulated tubes for protection. Nevertheless, care must be taken to ensure that these
wires are not pinched.
Take sufficient care to avoid directly touching any of the circuit parts without first turning off
the power.
At times such as when the circuit board is to be replaced, place the circuit board assembly in
a vertical position.
Laying the board flat on an electrically conductive object (such as the top panel of the air conditioner's
outdoor unit) while a charge is still retained by the electrolytic capacitors of the inverter's main circuit may
cause short-circuiting between the electrolytic capacitors and secondary circuit components and result in
damage to the components.
Fig. 11-2
Do NOT lay the circuit board assembly flat.
K Precautions when inspecting the control section of the outdoor unit
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 inv e rter cover (plating) by opening four mounting claw s.
2. As shown below, connect the discharge resistance (approx. 100Ω40W) or plug of the soldering iron to
voltage between + – terminals of the C14 (“CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE” is indicated.) electrolytic capacitor
(500µF/400V or 760µF/400V) on P.C. board, and then perform discharging.

Operation of air conditioner
Description
The OPERATION lamp of the indoor unit flashes when
power source is turned on. If [START/STOP] button is
operated once, flashing stops.
(Flashes also in power failure)
The compressor does not operate while compressor
restart delay timer (3-minutes timer) operates.
The same phenomenon is found after power source has
been turned on because 3-minutes timer operates.
The air flow indication is fixed to [AUTO].
For smooth operation of the compressor, the compressor motor speed is restricted to Max. 41 rps for 2 minutes, and Max.91 rps for 2 minutes to 3 minutes , respectively after the operation has started.
After selecting Cool or Heat mode, select an operation
mode again if the compressor keeps stop status for 15
minutes.
6
In HEAT mode, the compressor motor
speed does not increase up to the maximum speed or decreases before the
temperature arrives at the set temperature.
The compressor motor speed may decrease by hightemp. release control (Release protective operation by
temp.-up of the indoor heat exchanger) or current
release control.

11-2. Primary Judgment
To diagnose the troubles, use the follo wing methods.
1) Judgment by flashing LED of indoor unit
2) Self-diagnosis by service check remote controller
3) Judgment of trouble by every symptom
Firstly use the method 1) for diagnosis. Then, use the method 2) or 3) to diagnose the details of troubles.
11-3. Judgment by Flashing LED of Indoor Unit
While the indoor unit monitors the operation status of the air conditioner, if the protective circuit operates, the
contents of self-diagnosis are displayed with block on the indoor unit indication section.
Protective circuit operation for indoor P.C. board
Protective circuit operation for connecting cable
and serial signal system
Protective circuit operation for outdoor P.C. board
Protective circuit operation for others
(including compressor)
NOTES :
1. The contents of items B and C and a part of item E are displayed when air conditioner operates.
2. When item B and C, and item B and a part of item E occur concurrently, priority is given to the block of item B.
3. The check codes can be confirmed on the remote controller for servicing.

11-4. Self-Diagnosis by Remote Controller (Check Code)
1. If the lamps are indicated as shown B to E in Table 11-3-1, execute the self-diagnosis by the remote controller.
2. When the remote controller is set to the service mode, the indoor controller diagnoses the operation condi-
tion and indicates the information of the self-diagnosis on the display of the remote controller with the check
codes. If a fault is detected, all lamps on the indoor unit will flash at 5Hz and it will beep for 10 seconds
(Beep, Beep, Beep ... ). The timer lamp usually flashes (5Hz) during self-diagnosis.

11-10. How to Simply Judge Whether Outdoor Fan Motor is Good or Bad
1. Symptom
• Outdoor fan motor does not rotate.
• Outdoor fan motor stops within several tens seconds though it started rotating.
• Outdoor fan motor rotates or does not rotate according to the position where the fan stopped, etc.Remote controller check code “02 : Outdoor b lock, 1A : Outdoor fan drive system error”
2. Cause
The following causes are considered when the outdoor fan motor does not normally rotate.
1) Mechanical lock of the outdoor fan motor
2) Winding failure of the outdoor fan motor
3) Position-detect circuit failure inside of the outdoor fan motor
4) Motor drive circuit failure of the outdoor P.C. board
3. How to simply judge whether outdoor fan motor is good or bad
Turn OFF the breaker.
Disconnect two connectors (CN300) of the
outdoor fan motor from the outdoor P.C. board.
Does the fan rotate without trouble
when rotating it with hands?
YES
If the resistance value between
1 (Red lead) – 2 (White lead)
2 (White lead) – 3 (Black lead)
3 (Black lead) – 1 (Red lead)
of the connector
(CN300 : Motor winding)
is 17 to 25Ω, it is normal.
YES
Fan motor is normal.
(Outdoor P.C. board error)
NO
NO
CN300
Fan motor error
NOTE :
However, GND circuit error inside of the motor may be accepted in some cases when the abov e check is
performed.
When the fan motor does not become normal even if P.C. board is replaced, replace the outdoor fan motor.

12. HOW TO REPLACE THE MAIN PARTS
WARNING
• Since high voltages pass through the electrical parts, turn off the power without fa il before proceeding with
the repairs.
Electric shocks may occur if the power plug is not disconnected.
• After the repairs have been completed (after the front panel and cabinet have been installed), perform a
test run, and check for smoking, unusual sounds and other abnormalities.
If this check is omitted, a fire and/or electric shocks may occur.
Before proceeding with the test run, install the front panel and cabinet.
• Ensure that the following steps are taken when doing repairs on the refrigerating cycle.
1. Do not allow any naked flames in the surrounding area.
If a gas stove or other appliance is being used, extinguish the flames before proceeding.
If the flames are not extinguished, they may ignite any oil mixed with the refrigerant gas.
2. Do not use welding equipment in an airtight room.
Carbon monoxide poisoning ma y result if the room is not properly ventilated.
3. Do not bring welding equipment near flammable objects.
Flames from the equipment may cause the flammable objects to catch fire .
• If keeping the power on is absolutely unavoidable while doing a job such as inspecting the cir-
cuitry, wear rubber gloves to avoid contact with the live parts.
Electric shocks may be received if the live parts are touched.
High-voltage circuits are contained inside this unit.
Proceed very carefully when conducting checks since directly touching the parts on the control circuit
board may result in electric shocks.
