INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R410A REFRIGERANT
oil
Refrigerant
Refrigerant
• This room air conditioner adopts an HFC refrigerant (R410A) which never destroys the ozone layer.
• Pay particular attention to the following points, though the basic installation procedure is same as that for R22 conditioners.
1 As R410A has working pressure approximate 1.6 times as high as that of R22, some special tools and piping parts/materials
are required. Refer to the table below.
2 Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R410A refrigerant during storage and installation, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than R22.
3 For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts/materials specifically designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant piping.)
4 Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent
composition change.

1. Tools dedicated for the air conditioner with R410A refrigerant
The following tools are required for R410A refrigerant. Some R22 tools can be substituted for R410A tools.
The diameter of the service port on the stop valve in outdoor unit has been changed to prevent any other refrigerant being
charged into the unit. Cap size has been changed from 7/16 UNF with 20 threads to 1/2 UNF with 20 threads.
R410A tools
Description
Can R22 tools be used?
R410A has high pressures beyond the measurement range of existing
gauges. Port diameters have been changed to prevent any other refrigerant
from being charged into the unit.

• Use a copper pipe or a copper-alloy seamless pipe with a thickness of 0.8 mm. Never use any pipe with a thickness less
than 0.8mm, as the pressure resistance is insufficient.
2 Flaring work and flare nut
Flaring work for R410A pipe differs from that for R22 pipe.

3. Refrigerant oil
Apply the special refrigerant oil (accessories: packed with indoor unit) to the flare and the union seat surfaces.
4. Air purge
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation, reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant
circuit.
Use the vacuum pump for air purging for the purpose of environmental protection.
5. Additional charge
For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and
the outdoor unit. In this case, ability of the refrigerating cycle decreases or normal operation can be impossible. However,
charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may cause the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.

11-1. CAUTIONS ON TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Before troubleshooting, check the following:
1) Check the power supply voltage.
2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for miswiring.
2. Take care the following during servicing.
1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn OFF the main unit first with the remote controller, and turn off the breaker.
2) Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before removing the front panel, the cabinet, the top panel, and the electronic
control P.C. board.
3) When removing the electrical parts, be careful of the residual voltage of smoothing capacitor.
4) When removing the electronic control P.C. board, hold the edge of the board with care NOT to apply stress on the
components.
5) When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, hold the housing of the connector. DO NOT pull the lead wires.
Lead wire
Housing point
3. Troubleshooting procedure
1) First, check if the OPERATION INDICATOR lamp is blinking on and off to indicate an abnormality. To make sure,
check how many times the abnormality indication is blinking on and off before starting service work.
2) Before servicing check that the connector and terminal are connected properly.
3) If the electronic control P.C. board is supposed to be defective, check the copper foil pattern for disconnection and
the components for bursting and discoloration.
4) When troubleshooting, refer to 11-2. and 11-3.

11-2. FAILURE MODE RECALL FUNCTION
As this air conditioner has a function to memorize all the failures that had happened, the latest failure detail can be
recalled by following the procedures below.
Use this function when the check code is not displayed with wired remote controller or the remote controller at use is
wireless type.

A How to check inverter/compressor
Disconnect the connector between compressor
and the intelligent power module (IC700).
See 11-5. B “Check of open phase”.
Check the voltage between terminals.
Are the voltages balanced?
Yes
No
Replace the inverter P.C. board.
See 11-5. C “Check of compressor”.
Check the compressor.
B Check of open phase
With the connector between the compressor and the intelligent power module disconnected, activate the inverter and check if
the inverter is normal by measuring the voltage balance between the terminals.
Output voltage is 50 - 130V. (The voltage may differ according to the tester.)
<< Operation method (Test run operation)>>
1. Press the EMERGENCY OPERATION switch or the Test button to COOL or HEAT mode.
2. Test run operation starts and continues to operate for 30 minutes.
3. Compressor starts at rated frequency in COOL mode or 58Hz in HEAT mode.
4. Indoor fan operates at High speed.
5. After 30 minutes, test run operation finishes and EMERGENCY OPERATION starts.
6. To cancel test run operation (EMERGENCY OPERATION), press the EMERGENCY OPERATION switch or the ON/OFF
button on remote controller.
<<Measurement point>>
At 3 points
BLK (U) - WHT (V)
BLK (U) - RED (W)

* Measure AC voltage between the lead wires at 3 points.
NOTE: 1. Output voltage varies according to power supply voltage.
2. Measure the voltage by analog type tester.
3. During this check, LED of the inverter P.C. board flashes 9 times. (Refer to 11-6-1.)
