Refrigerant
Check the used refrigerant name and use tools and materials of the parts which
match with it.
For the products which use R410A refrigerant, the refrigerant name is indicated at a
position on the outdoor unit where is easy to see. To prevent miss-charging, the route of the
service por t is changed from one of the former R22.
For an air conditioner which uses R410A, never use other refrigerant than R410A.
For an air conditioner which uses other refrigerant (R22, etc.), never use R410A.
If different types of refrigerant are mixed, abnormal high pressure generates in the
refrigerating cycle and an injury due to breakage may be caused.
Do not charge refrigerant additionally.
If charging refrigerant additionally when refrigerant gas leaks, the refrigerant composition in
the refrigerating cycle changes resulted in change of air conditioner characteristics or
refrigerant over the specified standard amount is charged and an abnormal high pressure is
applied to the inside of the refrigerating cycle resulted in cause of breakage or injury.
Therefore if the refrigerant gas leaks, recover the refrigerant in the air conditioner, execute
vacuuming, and then newly recharge the specified amount of liquid refrigerant.
In this time, never charge the refrigerant over the specified amount.
When recharging the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle, do not mix the refrigerant
or air other than R410A into the specified refrigerant.
If air or others is mixed with the refrigerant, abnormal high pressure generates in the
refrigerating cycle resulted in cause of injury due to breakage.
After installation work, check the refrigerant gas does not leak.
If the refrigerant gas leaks in the room, poisonous gas generates when gas touches to fire
such as fan heater, stove or cocking stove though the refrigerant gas itself is innocuous.
Never recover the refrigerant into the outdoor unit.
When the equipment is moved or repaired, be sure to recover the refrigerant with
recovering device. The refrigerant cannot be recovered in the outdoor unit; otherwise a
serious accident such as breakage or injury is caused.
Assembly/Cabling
After repair work, surely assemble the disassembled parts, and connect and lead the
removed wires as before. Perform the work so that the cabinet or panel does not
catch the inner wires.
If incorrect assembly or incorrect wire connection was done, a disaster such as a leak or
fire is caused at user’s side.

Insulator check
Ventilation
Be attentive to
electric shock
Compulsion
WARNING
After the work has finished, be sure to use an insulation tester set (500V Megger) to
check the resistance is 2MΩ or more between the charge section and the non-charge
metal section (Earth position).
If the resistance value is low, a disaster such as a leak or electric shock is caused at user’s side.
When the refrigerant gas leaks during work, execute ventilation.
If the refrigerant gas touches to a fire, poisonous gas generates.
A case of leakage of the refrigerant and the closed room full with gas is dangerous because
a shortage of oxygen occurs. Be sure to execute ventilation.
When checking the circuit inevitably under condition of the power-ON, use rubber
gloves and others not to touch to the charging section.
If touching to the charging section, an electric shock may be caused.
When the refrigerant gas leaks, find up the leaked position and repair it surely.
If the leaked position cannot be found up and the repair work is interrupted, pump-down and
tighten the service valve, otherwise the refrigerant gas may leak into the room.
The poisonous gas generates when gas touches to fire such as fan heater, stove or cocking
stove though the refrigerant gas itself is innocuous.
When installing equipment which includes a large amount of charged refrigerant such
as a multi air conditioner in a sub-room, it is necessary that the density does not the
limit even if the refrigerant leaks.
If the refrigerant leaks and exceeds the limit density, an accident of shortage of oxygen is caused.
For the installation/moving/reinstallation work, follow to the Installation Manual.
If an incorrect installation is done, a trouble of the refrigerating cycle, water leak, electric
shock or fire is caused.
Check after repair
Check after reinstallation
Put on gloves
Cooling check
After repair work has finished, check there is no trouble.
If check is not executed, a fire, electric shock or injury may be caused.
For a check, turn off the power breaker.
After repair work (installation of front panel and cabinet) has finished, execute a test
run to check there is no generation of smoke or abnormal sound.
If check is not executed, a fire or an electric shock is caused.
Before test run, install the front panel and cabinet.
Check the following items after reinstallation.
1) The earth wire is correctly connected.
2) The power cord is not caught in the product.
3) There is no inclination or unsteadiness and the installation is stable.
If check is not executed, a fire, an electric shock or an injury is caused.
CAUTION
Be sure to put on the gloves (∗) and a long sleeved shirt:
otherwise an injury may be caused with the parts, etc.
(∗) Heavy gloves such as work gloves
When the power was turned on, start to work after the equipment has been
sufficiently cooled.
As temperature of the compressor pipes and others became high due to cooling/heating
operation, a burn may be caused.

•New Refrigerant (R410A)
This air conditioner adopts a new HFC type refrigerant (R410A) which does not deplete the ozone layer.
1. Safety Caution Concerned to New Refrigerant
The pressure of R410A is high 1.6 times of that of the former refrigerant (R22).
Accompanied with change of refrigerant, the refrigerating oil has been also changed.
Therefore, be sure that water, dust, the former refr igerant or the former refrigerating oil is not mixed into the
refrigerating cycle of the air conditioner with new refrigerant during installation work or service work.
If an incorrect work or incorrect service is performed, there is a possibility to cause a serious accident.
Use the tools and materials exclusive to R410A to purpose a safe work.
2. Cautions on Installation/Service
1) Do not mix the other refrigerant or refrigerating oil.
For the tools exclusive to R410A, shapes of all the joints including the service port differ from those of
the former refrigerant in order to prevent mixture of them.
2) As the use pressure of the new refrigerant is high, use material thickness of the pipe and tools which are
specified for R410A.
3) In the installation time, use clean pipe materials and work with great attention so that water and others do
not mix in because pipes are affected by impurities such as water, oxide scales, oil, etc.
Use the clean pipes.
Be sure to brazing with flowing nitrogen gas. (Never use gas other than nitrogen gas.)
4) For the earth protection, use a vacuum pump for air purge.
5) R410A refr igerant is azeotropic mixture type refrigerant.
Therefore use liquid type to charge the refrigerant. (If using gas for charging, composition of the
refrigerant changes and then characteristics of the air conditioner change.)
3. Pipe Materials
For the refrigerant pipes, copper pipe and joints are mainly used.
It is necessary to select the most appropriate pipes to conform to the standard.
Use clean material in which impurities adhere inside of pipe or joint to a minimum.
1) Copper pipe
<Piping>
The pipe thickness, flare finishing size, flare nut and others differ according to a refrigerant type.
When using a long copper pipe for R410A, it is recommended to select “Copper or copper-base pipe without
seam” and one with bonded oil amount 40mg/10m or less.
Also do not use crushed, deformed, discolored (especially inside) pipes.
(Impurities cause clogging of expansion valves and capillary tubes.)
<Flare nut>
Use the flare nuts which are attached to the air conditioner unit.
2) Joint
The flare joint and socket joint are used for joints of the copper pipe.
The joints are rarely used for installation of the air conditioner. How ever clear impurities when using them.
– 7 –
4. Tools
1. Required T ools for R410A
Mixing of different types 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)

6. 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.
6-1. 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. Confir m the used refr igerant 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 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 carr y 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 may result in water leakage,
electric shock and fire, etc.
6-2. Refrigerant Piping Installation
6-2-1. 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.
Further more, 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 6-2-1. Never use copper
pipes thinner than 0.8mm even when it is available on the market.
NOTE
Refer to the “6-6. Instructions for Re-use Piping
of R22 or R407C”.

1. 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 6-2-3 to 6-2-5 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. Thicknesses of socket joints are as shown in Table 6-2-2.

6-2-2. 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.
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.
– 36 –
c) Insertion of Flare Nut
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 por tions 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.
When it is strong, the flare nut may crack and may be made non-removable.
When choosing the tightening torque, comply with values designated by manufacturers.
Table 6-2-6 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.

6-4. 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.
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.
Connect the charge hose of the vacuum pump
adapter.
Open fully both packed valves at liquid and gas
sides.
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.
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.
(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 refrigera-
tion 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.

R410A refrigerant is HFC mixed refrigerant.
Therefore, if it is charged with gas, the composition

characteristics of the equipment varies.
6-5. Brazing of Pipes
6-5-1. 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.
Fig. 6-4-2
Electronic
balance
Siphon
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.
6-5-2. 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.
– 40 –
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 bor ic
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
6-5-3. 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
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 water which
does not contain chlorine
(e.g. distilled water or ion-exchange water).
4) Remove the flux after brazing.

6-6. Instructions for Re-use Piping of R22 or R407C
5.
Instruction of Works:
The existing R22 and R407C piping can be
reused for our digital inver ter R410A products
installations.
WARNING
Confirming the existence of scratches or dents on the
existing pipes and confirming the reliability of the pipe
strength are conventionally referred to the local site.
If the definite conditions can be cleared,
it is possible to update the existing R22 and
R407C pipes to those for R410A models.
6-6-1. Basic Conditions Needed to Reuse the
Existing Pipe
Check and observe three conditions of the refrigerant
piping works.
1. Dry(There is no moisture inside of the pipes.)
2. Clean (There is no dust inside of the pipes.)
3. Tight (There is no refrigerant leak.)
6-6-2. Restricted Items to Use the Existing Pipes
In the following cases, the existing pipes cannot be
reused as they are. Clean the existing pipes or
exchange them with new pipes.
1. When a scratch or dent is heavy, be sure to use the
new pipes for the works.
2. When the thickness of the existing pipe is thinner
than the specified “Pipe diameter and thickness” be
sure to use the new pipes for the works.
• The operating pressure of R410A is high
(1.6 times of R22 and R407C). If there is a scratch
or dent on the pipe or thinner pipe is used, the
pressure strength is poor and may cause breakage of the pipe at the worst.

7-2. Outline of Main Controls
1. PMV (Pulse Motor Valve) control
1) The aperture of the PMV (1, 2) is controlled between 88 (44 + 44) to 1000 (500 + 500) pulses during
operation.
2) During cooling and heating operations, the PMV aperture is controlled by the temperature difference
between a detected temperature from a TS sensor and a saturation temperature equivalent value
(TU temperature) from a Ps sensor. (SH control).
3) The temperature difference in 2) in both cooling and heating operations is usually controlled using a 5K
target value.
(However control may be performed within a range of 1 – 15K depending on operating conditions).
4) When the cycle overheats during both cooling and heating operations, the PMV aperture is controlled
using a detection value from a TD sensor.
The normal target value is 96°C for cooling operations and 102°C for heating operations.
CAUTION
Sensor malfunction may cause liquid back-flow or error overheating in the compressor resulting in dramatic
reduction in the durable life of the compressor.
In the event of malfunction and repair of the compressor, restart operation after checking that there are no
errors in the resistance values or the refrigerating cycle of each sensor.
2. Discharge temperature release control
1) This control lowers the revolution number of the
compressor in the event that the discharge
temperature is not reduced or in the event the
discharge temperature increases rapidly during
PMV control.
The cycle is stabilized by dividing compressor
revolution n umber control into units up to 0.6 rps.
2) When the detected discharge temperature is in
an error zone, compressor operation is stopped
and then restarted after 2 minutes 30 seconds.
An error count is added on each occasion the
error zone is detected and when the error is
detected 4 times, a “P03” error is performed.
When normal operation continues for a period of
10 minutes, the error count is cleared.

1) During heating operations, defrost operations are performed when the temperature from the TE sensor
satisfies any of the conditions in the A to D zones.
2) Dur ing defrosting operations, defrost will be ter minated if the temperature from the TE sensor continues
at 12°C or higher for 3 seconds or if the temperature is 7°C ≤ TE < 12°C for 1 minute.
Furthermore the defrost operation will be terminated if defrosting operations have continued for

5. Short interrupted operation preventive control
1) Even when a thermostat OFF signal is received from the indoor unit, the compressor may not stop
during an 8 minute period after star tup in order to protect the compressor.
This operation is not an error condition.
2) When operation is terminated by using a remote controller, operation will not continue.
6. Electrical current release control
An AC current detection value from T611 on the IPDU control board is used to suppress the revolution
number of the compressor so that the input current of the inverter does not exceed a specified value.

7. Heat sink temperature detection control
1) IGBT overheating prevention is protective control performed by a thermistor (TH sensor) in proximity to IGBT.
2) When a temperature of TH ≥ 83°C is detected, the fan tap is moved by 1 step up.
Thereafter step-up is performed at a rate of +1 tap/5 seconds until a maximum fan tap is reached.
3) After 2) above, operation is returned to normal fan control at a temperature of TH < 78°C.
4) Operation of the compressor is terminated at a temperature of TH ≥ 100°C.
5) Operation is restarted after 2 minutes and 30 seconds using [1] as the error count. However a count of
[4] in the same operation confirms an error. The error display is “P07” (Restart will not be performed).
∗ When error is confirmed, this may be an error caused by heat build-up or blower fan failure in the outdoor
unit, or an error in the IPDU board.
8. Electrical current release value shift control
1) This control is for the purpose of preventing
malfunction of the compressor or electronic
components such as the IGBT of the inverter in
the compressor drive system during cooling
operations.
2) Select the current release control value (I1) by
TO sensor value from the right table.
The correction is based on the table below:

9. Over-current protective control
1) Operation of the compressor is stopped when the over-current protective circuit detects an error current.
2) The compressor restarts after 2 minutes 30 seconds using [1] as an error count.
After restart, the error count is cleared when operation continues for 6 minutes or more.
3) An error is confirmed when the error count takes a value of [8].
4) For the indicated contents of error, confirm using the check code table.
10. High-pressure switch/Compressor case thermostat control
1) When the high-pressure switch or the compressor case thermostat operates, the operation of the
compressor is terminated.
2) The compressor restarts after 2 minutes 30 seconds using [1] as an error count.
After restart, the error count is cleared when operation continues for 10 minutes or more.
3) An error is confirmed with the error count [10].
4) For the indicated contents of error, confirm using the check code table.
9.0
11. High-pressure release control
1) The operation frequency is controlled to restrain abnormal rising of high pressure by TL sensor in
cooling operation and TC sensor in heating operation.
2) When TL sensor in cooling operation or TC sensor in heating operation detects abnormal temperature of
the stop zone, stop the compressor and the error count becomes +1.
3) When the compressor stopped with 2), the operation restarts from the point of the normal operation
zone (e point or lower) where it returned after 2 minutes 30 seconds.
4) The error count when the compressor stopped with 2) is cleared after the operation continued for
10 minutes. If the error count becomes [10] without clearing, the error is determined and reactivation is
not performed.
5) For the error display contents, confirm on the check code list.

13. Oil recovery control
1) This control enables periodic recovery of oil accumulating in the indoor unit or in the exchange pipe.
2) After continuous operation for 240 minutes, the lower limit for the compressor revolution number is
raised for 2 minutes and oil is recovered.
Control Conditions
During Cooling
During Heating
Continuous cooling operation for 240 minutes

3)
During startup of oil recovery control, the compressor
revolution number dur ing operation is lower than the
revolution number of the lower limit for control details.
Lower limit for compressor revolution number placed to 56 rps per
2 minutes
Lower limit for compressor revolution number placed to 70 rps per

When low
When high
The compressor rotation speed is raised to the lower limit
during control.
Operate according to indoor commands without lowering
the compressor rotation speed to the lower limit.
(In this case, the timer counts 2 minutes.)
Control Details
4) When the DOWN zone and the HOLD zone (UP prohibition) are superimposed for example during
current release control or discharge temperature release control, DOWN zone and the HOLD zone have
priority over oil recovery control.
– 53 –
14. Coil heating control
1) This control has the function of heating the compressor by applying a current to the compressor when
not operating instead using a case heater.
This control is for the purpose of preventing stagnation of the refrigerant inside the compressor.
2) Malfunction in the compressor may result if a current is not applied for a specified time before a test run
after installation as was previously the case.
Similarly, starting operation after turning the power OFF and not operating for a long time also requires
application of a current before starting operation, in the same manner as the test run.
3) Application of current is determined by TD and TO sensors.
When the TO sensor is defective, a backup control is automatically performed by the TE sensor.
When TO sensor is defective , make a determination using the LED display of the outdoor interface board.
4) The power is turned off when TD is 30°C or more.

1. Check cables of remote controller and communication adapters.
• Remote controller LCD display OFF (Disconnection)
• Central remote controller [97] check code
1. Outdoor unit does not completely operate.
• Inter-unit wire check, correction of miswiring
• Check outdoor P.C. board. Correct wiring of P.C. board.
2. When outdoor unit normally operates
Check P.C. board (Indoor receiving / Outdoor sending).
1. Check whether remote controller connection (Group/Individual)
was changed or not after power supply turned on
(Finish of group construction/Address check).
* If group construction and address are not normal when the
power has been turned on, the mode automatically shifts to
address setup mode. (Resetting of address)
1. Set indoor capacity (DN=11)
1. Check outside devices.
2. Check indoor P.C. board.
1. Trouble of drain pump
2. Clogging of drain pump
3. Check float switch.

8-2-5. Diagnostic Procedure for Each Check Code (Outdoor Unit)
1) This section describes the diagnostic method for each check code displayed on the remote controller.
2) In some cases, a check code indicates multiple symptoms.
In this case, confirm LED display on the outdoor P.C. board to narrow the contents to be confirmed.
3) The check code on the remote controller is displayed only when the same error occurred continuously by
multiple times while LED of the outdoor P.C. board displays even an error which occurred once.
Therefore the display on the remote controller may differ from that of LED.

Turn the switch to ON when Ø19.1 is used for the existing pipe.
In this case, the heating capacity may lower according to outside
temp. and indoor temp. in heating operation.
Turn the switch to ON when using the po w er sa ve function.
The control to lower the compressor frequency (Approx. –10%) is
performed by indoor heat exchanger temp. in heating operation.
When snow enters from clearance of the fan guard or heat
exchanger into blast path and it is accumulated, the control to
prevent generation of motor lock is validated.
When outside temp. is below 0°C though the compressor stops,
the outdoor fan operates with W5.
The defrost interval is cut to shorten it than the standard status.
For contents of control and cutting method, refer to Section
7-4. Defr ost contr ol .
When it is needed to lower the maximum value of the compressor
frequency, cut the jumper line. Max. frequency at cooling/heating
is lowered.

• Install the refrigerant pipe securely during the installation work before operating the air conditioner.
If the compressor is operated with the valve open and without the refrigerant pipe, the compressor sucks air and the
refrigeration cycle is overpressurized, which may cause a burst or injury.
• When carrying out the pump-down work, shut down the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipe.
Disconnecting the refrigerant pipe with the service valve left open and with the compressor still operating will cause air, etc.
to be sucked in, raising the pressure inside the refrigeration cycle to an abnormally high level, and possibly resulting in
rupturing, injury, etc.
CAUTION
• Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unit.
You may fall or the objects may fall off of the outdoor unit and result in injury.
• Wear heavy gloves during the installation work to avoid injury.
To Disconnect the Appliance from the Main Power Supply
• This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by means of a switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm.
• A 25 A installation fuse (all fuse types can be used) must be used for the power supply line of this conditioner.

INSTALLATION OF NEW REFRIGERANT AIR
CONDITIONER
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 as that of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with the adoption of the new refrigerant, the
refrigerant oil has also been changed. Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or
refrigerant oil does not enter the new type refrigerant R410A air conditioner cycle.
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerant oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port on main unit and installation
tools are different from those of 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
– 98 –
• Ensure that all Local, National and International regulations are satisfied.
• Read these “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully before installation.
• The precautions described below include important items regarding safety.
Observe them without fail.
• After the installation work, perform a trial operation to check for any problem.
Follow the Owner’s Manual to explain to the customer how to use and maintain the unit.
• Ask the customer to keep the Installation Manual together with the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
• Ask an authorized dealer or qualified installation professional to install/maintain the air conditioner.
Perform installation work properly according to the Installation Manual.
Inappropriate installation may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.
• Be sure to connect earth wire (grounding work).
Incomplete grounding cause an electric shock.
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or ground wires for telephone wires.
• Turn off the main power supply switch or breaker before attempting any electrical work and maintenance.
Make sure all power switches are off. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
Use an exclusive power circuit for the air conditioner. Use the rated voltage.
• Connect the connecting wire correctly.
If the connecting wire is incorrect, electric parts may be damaged.
• When moving the air conditioner for installation to another place, be very careful not to allow the specified
refrigerant (R410A) to become mixed with any other gaseous body into the refrigeration cycle.
If air or any other gas mixes with the refrigerant, the gas pressure in the refrigeration cycle will become abnormally high and
it may result in the pipe bursting or personal injuries.
• Do not modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or by by-passing any of the safety interlock switches.
• Do not touch the intake or aluminum fins of the outdoor unit.
Doing so may result in injury.
• Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner.
Excessive tightening of the flare nut may cause a crack in the flare nut after a long period, which may result in refrigerant
leakage.
• Install the air conditioner securely in a location where the base can sustain the weight of the unit adequately.
• Perform the specified installation work to guard against an earthquake.
If the air conditioner is not installed appropriately, accidents may occur due to the unit falling.
• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.
If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may be generated.
• 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 be generated.
• Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Installation Manual. Make sure
the air conditioner uses an exclusive power supply.
An insufficient power supply capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.
• Use only the specified wiring during the unit installation. Ensure that all terminals are securely fixed, so preventing
any external forces having a negative effect on the terminals.
• When the air conditioner cannot cool or heat a room well, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the air
conditioner as refrigerant leakage is considered as the cause.
In the case of repair that requires refill of refrigerant, ask service personnel about details of the repair.
The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is harmless.
Generally, the refrigerant does not leak. However, if the refrigerant leaks in a room and a heater or stove burner in the room
catches fire, it may generate toxic gas.
When you ask service personnel for repairing refrigerant leakage, confirm that the leakage portion has been completely
repaired.
• Conform to the regulations of the local electric company when wiring the power supply.
Inappropriate grounding may cause electric shock.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subjected to a risk of exposure to a combustible gas.
If a combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.
