Power supply cord of outdoor unit shall be more than 1.5 mm2 (H07RN-F or 245IEC66) polychloroprene sheathed flexible cord.
• Read this “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully before 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 w ater and/or dust does not enter . Moreo v er, do not use the existing piping because there are some problems
with pressure fittings and possible impurities in existing pipi
ng.
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.
The installation fuse (25A D type ) must be used for the power supply line of this air conditioner
.
DANGER
• Ask an authorized dealer or qualified installation professional to install/maintain the air conditioner.
Inappropriate servicing 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 ha
• CORR ECTLY 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 SERVICE AND INSTALLATION.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
• 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 2 M) 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 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 RESULT 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
nd.

WARNING
• Never modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or by-pass any of the safety interlock 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 shoc
k.
CAUTION
• Exposure of unit to water or other moisture before installation may result in an electrical short. Do not store in a wet
basement or expose to rain or water.
• Do not install in a place that can increase the vibration of the unit. Do not install in a place that can amplify the noise level of
the unit or where noise or discharged air might disturb neighbors.
• To avoid personal injury, be careful when handling parts with sharp edges.
• Perform the specified installation work to guard against an earthquake.
If the air conditioner is not installed appropriately, accidents may occur due to the falling
unit.
For Reference:
If a heating operation would be continuously performed for a long time under the condition that the outdoor temperature is 0°C or lower, drainage of defrosted water may be difficult due to freezing of the bottom plate , resulting
in a trouble of the cabinet or fan.
It is recommended to procure an anti freeze heater locally for a safety installation of the air conditioner.
For details, contact the dealer.

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 pre v ent
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 ma y 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 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 3-2-1. Never use copper
pipes thinner than 0.8 mm even when it is
available on the market.

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 .

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 .

3-3. Tools
3-3-1. Required T ools
The service port diameter of packed valv e 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 following three types.
(1) Tools exclusive for R410A (Those which cannot be used for con ventional refrigerant (R22))
(2) Tools exclusiv e for R410A, but can be also used for con v entional refrigerant (R22)
(3 ) Tools commonly used for R410A and for conv entional 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. Materi a ls f or B r az i ng
(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. 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 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.
3-5-2. Flux
(1 ) Reason why flux is necessary
• By removing the oxide film and any foreign
matter on the metal surface, it assists the 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.
– 18 –
(2 ) Characteristics required for flux
Nitrogen gas
cylinder
Pipe
Flow meter
M
Stop valve
From Nitrogen cylinder
Nitrogen
gas
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 ) T ypes 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 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 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 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.

9. OPERATION DESCRIPTION
9-1. 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 9 to 120 rps is
mounted. The DC motor dr ive 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 motor 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
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.
• 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 followed to
judgment of serial signal
from indoor side.
• Detection of inverter input current and current
release operation
• Over-current detection and pre v ention 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 four-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 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 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
unit controller, it is assumed as a trouble.
1) Operation control
Receiving the user’s operation condition setup, the opera-
tion statuses of indoor/outdoor units are controlled.

Installation/Service Tools
Changes in the product and components
In air conditioners using R410A, in order to prevent any other refrigerant from being accidentally charged, the service port diameter
size of the outdoor unit control valve (3 way valve) 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 opposing flare nuts sizes
have been changed. (for copper pipes with nominal dimensions 1/2 and 5/8)
New tools for R410A
New tools for R410AApplicable to R22 modelChange s
Gauge manifoldAs the working pressure is high, it is impossible to measure
the working pressure using conventional gauges. In order to
prevent any other refrigerant from being charged, the port
diameters have been changed.
Charge hoseIn order to increase pressure resisting strength, hose
materials and port sizes have been changed (to 1/2 UNF 20
threads per inch).
When purchasing a charge hose, be sure to confirm the
port size.

10-5. Installation of Outdoor Unit
10-5-1. Installation Location
•
A place which provides enough space around the outdoor
unit as shown in the diagram.
A place which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and
•
does not allow an increase in noise level and vibration.
A place where the operation noise and discharged air do not
•
disturb neighbors.
•
A place which is not exposed to a strong wind.
A pl ace free of combustible gases.
•
A place which does not block a passageway.
•
•
When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an elevated
position, be sure to secure its feet.
Piping connections to the outdoor unit should be arranged in
•
the sequence A, then B, starting from the bottom. (For each
piping connection, the gas pipe is on the bottom and the
liquid pipe on top.)
When multiple indoor units are to be connected to the
•
outdoor unit, make sure the ends of the pipes and wires from
each indoor unit are connected to the outdoor unit correctly.
(Problems caused by indoor units being connected to the
outdoor unit incorrectly are very common in multiple-unit
installations.)
•
The length and height differences of the connecting pipes,
between the indoor and outdoor units, must be within the
ranges indicated below.
Total piping length: Two room (A+B) Multi
•
This air conditioner accepts a connection piping length
•
of up to 30 m.
•
There is no need to add refrigerant as long as the
length of the connection piping is 20 m or less.
You will need to add 20 g of refrigerant per meter of
•
added connection piping for installations requiring
connection piping to be between 21 m to 30 m.
Minimum piping length:
•
A or B = 2 m or more
Maximum indoor piping length:
•
A or B = 20 m or less
Maximum piping height difference:
•
A or B = 10 m or less
•
Maximum piping / height difference
between two rooms = 10 m or less
•
If the outdoor unit is to be mounted on a wall, make sure the platform supporting it is sturdy enough.
The platform should be designed and manufactured to maintain its strength over a long period of time, and sufficient consideration
should be given to ensuring that the outdoor unit will not fall.
•
When the outdoor unit is to be mounted high on a wall, take particula r care to ensure that parts do not fall, and that the installer is
protected.
When doing installation work at ground level, it is usual to make wiring and pipe connections to the indoor units, first, and then to
•
make connections to the outdoor unit.
However, if outdoor work is difficult it is possible, instead, to make changes to the procedure.
For example, by making adjustments to the wiring and piping lengths on the inside (rather than the outside).
•
A place where the drain water does not cause any problems.
•
The outdoor unit should not be installed with one indoor unit only. Be sure the (outdoor) unit is installed with at least two indoor
units.
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.

10-5-3. Evacuating
After the piping has been connected to the indoor unit, perform the air purge.
AIR PURGE
Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the indoor unit using a vacuum pump. Do not use the refrigerant in the outdoor unit.
For details, see the vacuum pump manual.
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 de v e lop.)
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 the vacuum pump.
3. Open fully the low pressure side handle of the gauge manifold valve.
4. Operate the vacuum pump to begin 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). Confirm that
the compound pressure gauge reading is –101 kPa (–76 cmHg).
5. Close the low pressure valve handle of gauge manifold.
6. Open fully the valve stem of the packed valves (both sides of Gas and
Liquid).
7. Remove the charging hose from the service port.
8. Securely tighten the caps on the packed valves.
9. Perf orm steps 1 through 8 above on each connected indoor unit.
CAUTION
• IMPORTANT POINTS FOR PIPING WORK
(1) Keep dust and moisture from entering the pipes.
(2) Tighten connections carefully (between pipes and unit).
(3) Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using a VACUUM PUMP.
(4) Check for gas leaks at all connections.

CAUTION
• Incorrect wiring connection may cause electrical parts to burn out.
• Be sure to comply with local regulations/codes when running the wire from outdoor unit to indoor unit. (Size of wire and wiring
method etc.)
• Every wire must be securely connected.
• This installation fuse (25A D type ) must be used for the power supply line.
• If incorrect or incomplete wiring is carried out, fire or smoke may result.
• Prepare the power supply for the exclusive use of the air conditioner.
• This product can be connected to the main breaker.
Connection to fixed wiring: A switch which disconnects all poles and has a contact separation of at least 3 mm must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring when connecting to a main breaker circuit.
– 74 –
10-6. Grounding
This air conditioner must be grounded without fail.
Grounding is necessary not only to safeguard against the possibility of receiving an electric shock but also to absorb both the static,
which is generated by high frequencies and held in the surface of the outdoor unit, and noise since the air conditioner incorporates a
frequency conversion device (called an inverter) in the outdoo r unit. If the air conditioner is not grounded, users may receive an
electric shock if they touch the surface of the outdoor unit and that unit is charged with static.
10-7. Check and Test Operation
For R410A, use the leak detector exclusively manufactured for HFC refrigerant (R410A, R134a, etc.)
* The conventional leak detector f or HCFC refrigerant (R22, etc.) cannot be used because its sensitivity for HFC refrigerant lowers to
approx. 1/40 of that manufactured exclusively for HFC refrigerant.
• Pressure of R410A becomes approx. 1.6 times that of R22. If
installation work has not completely finished, gas leaks may occur in
cases such as when pressure rises during operation.
• Check the flare nut connections, valve stem cap connections and
service port cap connections for gas leaks with a leak detector or
soap water.

CAUTION
• Use a circuit breaker of a type that is not tripped by shock waves.
• Incorrect/incomplete wiring will cause electrical fires or smoke.
• Prepare the power source for exclusive use with the air conditioner.
• Proceed as follows when connecting the product to the mains power.
• Connection to fixed wiring:
A switch or circuit breaker which disconnects all poles and has a contact separation of at least 3 mm must be incorporated
into the fixed wiring.
Utilize only approved short circuit breakers and switches.
* (A breaker having sensitivity of approximately 0.1 second or less and capacity of approximately 30 mA is usually used.)
Miswiring (Mis-piping) Check
Make sure that the wiring and piping for each room have the same alphabetical code (A, B).
Connect and secure the power cord.
Use the power cord/cables with thickness, type, and protective devices specified in this manual.
Insulate the unused cords (conductors) with PVC tape.
1. Turn on the electrical power breaker.
2. Operate the indoor unit in cooling mode.
3. Start checks.

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 pow er
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) b y opening four mounting claws.
(2) As shown below, connect the discharge resistance (appro x. 100Ω40W) or plug of the soldering iron to voltage
between + – terminals of the C14 (“CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE” is indicated.) electrolytic capacitor (760µF/
400V) on P.C. board, and then perform discharging.

Operation of air conditioner
Description
The OPERATION indicator 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.
If the set value is above the room temperature, Cooling
operation is not performed. And check whether battery of
the remote control is consumed or not.
After selecting Cool or Heat mode, select an operation
mode again if the compressor keeps stop status for 15
minutes.

Cool, Dry , or Heat operation cannot be
performed.
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.
When the unit in other room operates previously in
different mode, F an Only oper ation is perf ormed because
of first-push priority control. (Cool operation and Dry
operation can be concurrently performed.)

11-10. Ho w to Simply Judge Whether Outdoor Fan Motor is Good or Bad
1. Symptom
• Outdoor fan motor does not rotate.
• Outdoor f an 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 block, 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.
of the outdoor fan motor from the outdoor P.C. board.
Disconnect two connectors (CN300)
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
CN300
NO
Fan motor error
NOTE :
However, GND circuit error inside of the motor may be accepted in some cases when the above check is performed.
When the fan motor does not become normal even if P.C. board is replaced, replace the outdoor fan motor.
