• After doing repair work, perform a test run to confirm that there are no abnormalities.
At the same time, explain the precautions in use to the user.
Warning
Before performing an overhaul, disconnect the power plug or power cable from the unit.
Performing the work with the power supplied to the unit, may cause an electric shock.
When repair work or circuit inspection that requires power supply for the air conditioner, is to be performed,
do not touch the charging section.
Doing so may cause an electric shock. Prohibit
For the step-up capacitor attached to the electric section, perform the repair work after sufficiently discharging it.
Insufficient capacitor discharge may cause an electric shock.
Do not perform repair work on the electric sections with wet hands.
Doing so may cause an electric shock.
Prohibit
Do not start or stop the air conditioner by means of connecting or disconnecting the power plug.
Doing so may cause an electric shock or fire.
Prohibit
When conducting repair work only use components included in the parts list for the corresponding unit and perform
the work with the appropriate tools.
Incorrect or poor repair work may cause an electric shock or fire.
Make sure to replace any power cable or lead wire showing any signs of scratch or deterioration.
Failure to do so may cause an electric shock, overheating or fire.
Make sure that there is no dust on or slack in the power plug and insert fully into the socket.
Dust or incomplete connections may cause an electric shock or fire.
Do not damage or process the power cord, as it may cause an electric shock or fire.
Prohibit
For the wiring between the indoor unit and outdoor unit, securely fix the specified cable onto the terminal plate.
Poorly fixed wiring may cause a heat or fire.
After connecting the wiring between the indoor unit and outdoor unit, attach the terminal cover securely.
Incomplete attachment of the terminal cover may cause overheating or fire.

Warning
If refrigerant gas blows off during the work, do not touch the refrigerant gas as it may cause frostbite.
Prohibit
Do not mix any gas other than the specified refrigerant gas in the refrigerating cycle.
If air or other contaminants mix with the gas, pressure will become extremely high in the refrigerating cycle,
which may cause a unit breakdown." Prohibit
When the welded section of the compressor intake or discharge pipe is to be disconnected, perform it in
a well-ventilated place after sufficiently recovering the refrigerant gas.
Any residue gas may jet out refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, which may cause an injury.
When the work is to be performed in a high place (About 2 meters or more), make sure to wear a safety helmet,
gloves and safety belt. Insufficient safety gear may cause a serious injury in case of a fall.
When the unit is to be relocated, confirm that the new installation location has sufficient strength for the weight of the unit.
Insufficient strength of the installation location and incomplete installation work may cause an injury due to
the unit falling.
When the remote controller batteries are replaced, dispose of the old batteries out of the reach of children.
If a child swallows a battery, make sure that the child gets immediate medical attention.
Caution
Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this may cause an electric shock or fire.
Prohibit
For the repair work in places with high humidity or moisture, make sure to ground the unit.
Failure to do so may cause an electric shock.
Confirm that the component attachment position, wiring condition, soldering condition and connector connection
are normal.
If not, it may cause overheating or fire.
Confirm that the temperature around the compressor is not too high, and then perform the repair work.
Failure to do so may cause a burn.
If the installation plate or attachment frame has deteriorated due to corrosion, etc., replace it.
Failure to do so may cause an injury due to the unit falling.
When the cleaning is to be performed, make sure to turn off the power and pull out the plug.
Touching the fan that is rotating at high speed may result in an injury.
Do not hold the sharp end of the unit or the aluminum fins, as it may cause an injury to your hand or finger.
Prohibit
After repairs, make sure to measure the insulation resistance and confirm that the value is 1 Mohm or more.
Any insulation error may cause an electric shock.
After repairs, make sure to check the drainage of the indoor unit.
Inappropriate drainage may cause wet furniture and floors due to water leakage.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING (BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE)
8-1. Precautions before Performing Inspection or Repair
After checking the self-diagnostics monitor, turn the power OFF before starting inspection or repair.
High-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used inside the outdoor unit controller (inverter). They retain an electrical charge
(charging voltage DC 310V) even after the power is turned OFF, and some time is required for the charge to dissipate. Be
careful not to touch any electrified parts before the controller LED (red) turns OFF.
If the outdoor controller is normal, approximately 30 seconds will be required for the charge to dissipate. However, allow at
least 5 minutes for the charge to dissipate if there is thought to be any trouble with the outdoor controller.
1: If the operation lamp blinks every 0.5 seconds immediately when the
power is turned ON, there is an external ROM (OTP data) failure on the
indoor circuit board, or a ROM socket insertion problem, or the ROM
has not been installed.
2: The failure mode is stored in memory even when the power is not ON.
Follow the procedure below to perform diagnostics.

8-5. Noise Malfunction and Electromagnetic Interference
An inverter A/C operates using pulse signal control and high frequencies. Therefore, it is susceptible to the effects of external
noise, and is likely to cause electromagnetic interference with nearby wireless devices.
A noise filter is installed for ordinary use, preventing these problems. However, depending on the installation conditions, these
effects may still occur. Please pay attention to the points listed below.

10. REFRIGERANT R410A:
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING UNIT
10-1. Characteristics of New Refrigerant R410A
10-1-1. What is New Refrigerant R410A?
R410A is a new refrigerant that contains two types of pseudo-non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture. Its
refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency are about the same level as the conventional refrigerant, R22.
10-1-3. Characteristics
Less toxic, more chemically stable refrigerant
The composition of refrigerant R410A changes whether it is in a gaseous phase or liquid phase. Thus, when
there is a refrigerant leak the basic performance of the air conditioner may be degraded because of a change in
composition of the remaining refrigerant. Therefore, do not add new refrigerant. Instead, recover the remaining
refrigerant with the refrigerant recovery unit. Then, after evacuation, totally recharge the specified amount of
refrigerant with the new refrigerant at its normal mixed composition state (in liquid phase).
When refrigerant R410A is used, the composition will differ depending on whether it is in gaseous or liquid
phase, and the basic performance of the air conditioner will be degraded if it is charged while the refrigerant is in
gaseous state. Thus, always charge the refrigerant while it is in liquid phase.
Ether-type oil is used for compressor oil for R410A-type units, which is different
CAUTION
from the mineral oil used for R22. Thus more attention to moisture prevention and
faster replacement work compared with conventional models are required.

10-2. Checklist before Servicing
Use a clutch-type flare tool for R410A or the conventional flare tool. Note that sizes of the resultant flares differ
between these two tools. Where a conventional flare tool is used, make sure to observe A Specification (amount of
extrusion) by using the flare spacer.
Specification A

Tubing precautions
Refrigerant R410A is more easily affected by dust or moisture compared with R22, thus be sure to temporarily
cover the ends of the tubing with caps or tape prior to installation.
Never use 0.0276" (0.7 mm)-thick copper tubing or tubing which is less than 0.0315" (0.8 mm) in thickness, since
air conditioners with R410A are subject to higher pressure than those using R22 and R407C.
49
10-3. Tools Specifically for R410A
For servicing, use the following tools for R410A
CAUTION The above tools specifically for R410A must not be used for R22 and R407C.
Doing so will cause malfunction of the unit.
For the above vacuum pump (*1, *2) and vacuum pump adapter (*3), those for
R22-type units can be used for R410A-type. However, they must be used
exclusively for R410A and never alternately with R22 and R407C.
To prevent other refrigerants (R22, R407C) from being mistakenly charged to this unit, shape and external
diameter of the service port screw has been altered.
<External diameter of service port> R410A : 5/16"
R22, R407C : 1/4"
NOTE For details on tubing installation procedures, refer to the installation manuals attached to the indoor
unit and outdoor unit.

10-5. In Case of Compressor Malfunction
CAUTION Should the compressor malfunction, be sure to make the switch to a replacement
compressor as quickly as possible.
Use only the tools indicated exclusively for R410A. See "10-3. Tools
Specifically for R410A."

(1) Attach the rear panel to the wall with the 8 screws
provided. (Fig. 13)
If you are not able to line up the holes in the rear
panel with the beam locations marked on the wall,
use rawl plugs or toggle bolts to go through the
holes on the panel or drill 3/16" (5 mm) dia. holes in
the panel over the stud locations and then mount the
rear panel.
Fig. 13
(2) Double check with a carpenter’s level or tape mea-
sure that the panel is level. This is important to
install the unit properly. (Fig. 14)
(3) Make sure the panel is flush against the wall. Any
space between the wall and unit will cause noise
and vibration. Fig. 14

How to replace the grille
Pin
(1) While aligning the top edge of the grille with the Fig. 17b
frame, move the grille horizontally and insert the top
and bottom into the frame.
(2) Press the grille firmly with your hand to ensure no gap
exists between the frame and grille. Fig. 17c Lower flap
(3) Tighten the 6 screws. And fix the removed covers in
place.
(4) Grasp the sections near the front panel arms on both
sides, and hold the front panel so that it is nearly hori-
zontal. Push the arm shafts towards the outside so
that they come into contact with the top of the inden-
tations on the right and left sides of the air condition- Fig. 17d
er. Then push firmly until the arm shafts click into
place. (Fig. 18) 854:6(4,2
(5) Remount the lower flap.
(In remounting the flap, it cannot be turned end for
end because the right and left pins of the flap differ in 4+,4:(:054
form. (Fig. 17c)) 83
(6) Insert the top of the anti-mold filter, and then secure
the bottom of the filter with the protrusions on the unit. 04
(7) When closing the front panel, push the central part of

5-1. Use of the Flaring Method
Many of the conventional split system air conditioners
employ the flaring method to connect refrigerant tubes
which run between indoor and outdoor units. In this
method, the copper tubes are flared at each end and
connected with flare nuts.

5-6. Taping the Tubes
(1) At this time, the 2 refrigerant tubes (and electrical wire Clamp
if local codes permit) should be taped together with
armoring tape. The drain hose may also be included Insulated tubes
and taped together as 1 bundle with the tubing.
(2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the outdoor
unit to the top of the tubing where it enters the wall. As
you wrap the tubing, overlap half of each previous tape Fig. 55
turn. (Fig. 55)
(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to wall, using 1 clamp approx.
Apply putty here
every 47" (120 cm).
NOTE
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly, since this will
decrease the heat insulation effect. Also, be sure the con-
densation drain hose splits away from the bundle and drips
clear of the unit and the tubing.

5-7. Finishing the Installation Fig. 56
After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use
sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent rain
and draft from entering. (Fig. 56)

Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system
have undesirable effects as indicated below. Therefore,
they must be purged completely.

degrees (1/4 turn) for 10 seconds, and then turn the
stem clockwise to close it again. (Fig. 58)
(11) Fasten the valve cap on the wide tube service port
securely with an adjustable wrench or box wrench.
Next, mount the valve cap on the service valve and
tighten it to 170 lbs·in (200 kgf·cm) with a torque
wrench. This process is very important to prevent
gas from leaking from the system.
(12) Test run the air conditioner. (See next page.)
(13) While the air conditioner is running, apply liquid
soap to check for any gas leaks around the service
valves or caps.
(14) If there is no leakage, stop the air conditioner.
(15) Wipe off the soap on the tubing.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump and the
air conditioner is ready for actual operation.

Troubleshooting:
In the event that the green OPERATION lamp is blinking
upon powering up the system, an error condition exists. In
this case, refer to the self-diagnostics procedure on the
