After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring,
be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control cover.
2) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from vibrations
to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them and make sure that they are
all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could cause burn-out of the wires.)
3) Specification of power source.
4) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
5) See to that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage marked on the
name plate.
6) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power source specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness. (Refer to page 24))
7) Always install an earth leakage circuit breaker in a wet or moist area.
8) The following would be caused by voltage drop.
• Vibration of a magnetic switch, which will damage the contact point, fuse breaking, disturbance of the normal func-
tion of the overload.
9) The means for disconnection from a power supply shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring and have an air

• In 10-min dehumidification operation, the indoor fan operates with the low airflow speed.
■ Defrost Control
• While in heating mode operation in order to protect the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit from freezing,
reversed to cooling cycle to defrost the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit.
• After 40 min heating mode operation, at 4 min interval, whether to carry out defrost control or not and the time
of defrost control are determined according to the following conditions.
1) While in heating mode operation, the maximum of the indoor pipe temperature is measured and it is com-
pared with the present indoor pipe temperature to get the difference of the indoor pipe temperatures (=the
maximum temperature of indoor pipe ? the present temperature of indoor pipe), according to which, whether
to carry out defrost control or not is determined.
2) According to the need of defrost control shown above and the elapsed time of heating mode operation at that
moment, the defrost control time is determined.
3) When the determined time of defrost control is below 7 min, heating mode operation continues without carry-
ing out defrost control. According to the procedure stated above, the determination is made again. When the
defrost control time is 7 min or longer, defrost control is then carried out.
• While in defrost control, the minimum temp of the indoor pipe is measured and it is compared with the present
temp of the indoor pipe to get the difference of the indoor pipe temperatures (=the present temperature of the
indoor pipe ? the minimum temperature of the indoor pipe). When the difference is 5°C or higher, defrost con-
trol is completed and heating mode operation is carried out.
• While in defrost control, if the defrost time determined before the start of defrost control is completed, defrost
control stops and heating mode operation is carried out regardless of the above condition.
• When the indoor pipe temp is 42°C or above, defrost control is not carried out even if the condition is one of
the defrost conditions above.
• While in defrost control, the compressor is on and the indoor fan, the outdoor fan, and the 4 way valve are off.

• While in forced operation, the key input by the remote control has no effect and the buzzer sounds 10 times to
indicate the forced operation.
■ Test operation
• During the TEST OPERATION, the unit operates in cooling mode at high speed fan, regardless of room tem-
perature and resets in 18±1 minutes.
• During test operation, if remote controller signal is received, the unit operates as remote controller sets.
If you want to use this operation, open the front panel upward and Press the power button let it be pressed for
about 3 seconds.
• If you want to stop the operation, re-press the button.
■ Auto restart
• In case the power comes on again after a power failure, Auto Restarting Operation is the function to operate
procedures automatically to the previous operating conditions.

(4) Air purging of the charge hose.
– Open the low-pressure valve on the charge set
slightly to air purge from the charge hose. Do not use the existing charge set for R-22.
It is necessary to use new charge set for R-410A.
(5) Set the 2-way valve to the closed position. The pressure of R-410A is 1.6 times higher than
that of R-22. Thus, the high pressure side gauge of

Cycle Parts
Trouble analysis
1. Check temperature difference between intake and discharge air and operating current.
NOTICE
Temperature difference between intake and discharge air depends on room air humidity. When the room air
humidity is relativery higher, temperature difference is smaller. When the room air humidity is relatively lower
temperature difference is larger.
2. Check temperature and pressure of refrigeration cycle.
NOTICE
1. The suction pressure is usually 8.5~9.5 kg/cm2G(Cooling) at normal condition.
2. The temperature can be measured by attaching the thermometer to the low pressure tubing and wrap it with
putty.

• The pin NO 58 of Micom, and the part for driving TRIAC(the input and
output signal of IC01M, PIN NO 1, 16)
• Check the pattern
• Check the TRIAC
- TRIAC Open: Indoor Fan Motor never operate
- TRIAC short: Indoor Fan Motor always operates in case of ON or OFF.
• Confirm that the Vertical Louver is normally geared with the shaft of
Stepping Motor.
• If the regular torque is detected when rotating the Vertical Louver with
hands Normal
• Confirm the assembly conditions that are catching and interfering parts
in the rotation radial of the Vertical Louver
