IMPORTANT! THE ONLY ACCEPTIBLE METHOD TO CHARGE THE J-II SYSTEM
IS BY WEIGHING IN THE ADDITIONAL REFRIGERANT!
CHARGE CALCULATION IS BASED UPON THE TOTAL LIQUID LINE LENGTH USED
R-410A ONLY! NO ALTERNATE REFRIGERANT USE IS PERMITTED!
ADD REFRIGERANT INTO LIQUIU LINE ONLY!
NOTE: OPEN SERIVCE VALVES ONLY AFTER WEIGHING IN ADDITIONAL REFRIGERANT
If power was turned ON to the indoor unit(s) at any time prior to evacuation,
the indoor unit electronic expansion valve (EEV) will close and inhibit system
evacuation. In order to reopen the IU unit EEV’s:
Turn power ON to outdoor unit and indoor units.
Press the "MODE/EXIT" button on the OD unit control board.
Use the “SELECT” button to scroll to function F3.
Press the "ENTER" button.
Use the “SELECT” button to scroll to item code "21"
Push and HOLD the "ENTER" button for about 5 seconds.
Turn power OFF to all units when "PoFF" is displayed.
Perform system evacuation.
You may also use these instructions to recover refrigerant if necessary.
For complete service instructions, please refer to the J-II “Service Manual”
available on the Fujitsu Portal.

“TL” or “transmission line” wiring is referred to as the communication
cable between indoor and outdoor units.
TL wiring may be installed in either a parallel or series arrangement.
(Series shown for illustration.)
“Automatic” addressing require indoor units to be wired as shown below.
Refer to Section 6, “Wiring Rules” in the Installation Manual to ensure
maximum wire lengths are not exceeded.
Connect outdoor unit terminals Z1 and Z2 ONLY when more than one outdoor
unit is being connected to a communication network. (See QIG Step 16a)
Electrical wiring must conform to all Local, State, National or Provincial Codes.
GFEB- Ground Fault Equipment Breaker- When required by applicable Code. IMPORTANT! THE ONLY ACCEPTIBLE TRANSMISSION LINE CABLE IS HONEYWELL PART NUMBER
P/N 3254, CATALOG NUMBER K00250LW OR K00500LW. THE CABLE IS EASILY RECOGNIZED BY THE
PINK COLORED SHEATHING.
USE OF ANY ALTERNATE CABLE WILL RESULT IN A FORFEIT OF THE COMMISSIONING AND EXTENDED
WARRANTY.
“TL” or “transmission line” cable is connected between the indoor and
outdoor unit X1 and X2 terminal connections.
Cable ground wire MUST BE CONNECTED at each termination point.

Set the rotary switches in the OD to the desired address. You only need to
change the address if there is more then (1) refrigerant system in a
communications network.
Refer to the Installation Manual for complete installation details.

Indoor units physically piped together with the outdoor unit MUST HAVE
THE SAME REFRIGERANT ADDRESS.
BEFORE TURNNG ON POWER:
Check the resistance between X1 and X2 at the OU, and compare with the
resistance table below. IF THE RESISTANCE VALUE IS OUT OF RANGE, PLEASE
CONFIRM THE TERMINAL RESISTOR SETTING IN QIG STEP 19.
Please refer to the applicable indoor unit Installation Manual for rotary switch location and setting
details.
A “terminal resistor” is on board of every J-II OU.
REF AD MUST BE
BETWEEN A RANGE OF
00 –63.
ALL INDOOR UNITS ARE SHIPPED WITH A DEFAULT REF AD OF 00.
EXAMPLE REF AD OF 63 IS SHOWN.
DIP switch SET5-4 will enable or disable the onboard terminal resistor.
There must be (1) terminal resistor setting to ON for every network segment.
STAND ALONE J-II SYSTEMS- TURN DIP SWITCH SET 5-4 “ON”
POWER MUST REMAIN OFF WHEN SETTING ALL DIP AND ROTARY SWITCHES.
Refer to the Installation Manual for complete installation details.

AFTER POWERING THE EQUIPMENT AND BEFORE THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED,
AN “INDOOR UNIT CONNECTION CHECK” MUST BE PERFORMED!
THIS CHECK IS PERFORMED AT THE OUTDOOR UNIT.
Please refer to the applicable indoor unit and Remote Control
Installation Manuals for complete details.
This is a summary of Remote controller wiring:
3 wire remote- Connect Y1, Y2 and Y3 as shown.
2 wire remotes (“T” series IU’s only)- Connect only Y1 and Y2 terminals
of the indoor unit to the 2 wire Remote control.
YOU ARE NOW READY TO APPLY POWER TO ALL INDOOR AND
OUTDOOR UNITS.
PLEASE VERIFY REQUIRED VOLTAGE AT THE IU AND OU DISCONNECT
BEFORE APPLYING POWER.
ALL AIRSTAGE IU’S REQUIRE 208/230 SINGLE PHASE POWER.
AFTER PRESSING “ENTER” FOR MORE THAN (3)
SECONDS, PROCEED TO QIG STEP 21b.
Continued from Step 21a.

AFTER POWERING THE EQUIPMENT AND BEFORE THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED,
AN “INDOOR UNIT CONNECTION CHECK” MUST BE PERFORMED!
Function Codes are built in set up options within Airstage IU and OU’s.
Example:
U 8 indicates (8) indoor units are installed.
C 120 indicates the total BTUH capacity of the indoor units is 120% of the outdoor unit.
The maximum acceptable ratio is 130%.
Function Codes are also referred to as “Push Button Settings” in the J-II ODU Installation
Manual. Most function codes may be left in their default settings; used at the discretion of the
Installer, architect or engineer. However, regardless of installation, there is a function code
which must be confirmed prior to system operation. (See QIG Step 22a)
Function 00- This function will adjust the systems target pressures for heat and cool modes.
The value used is the linear piping length of the installer refrigerant piping (one way) between
the ODU and the NEAREST IDU. (Must be greater than 16’)
Note the default option value for Function 00 is “00”, where the distance between the ODU
and NEAREST IDU is between 131’ to 231’ (40 to 65m) IF THIS VALUE IS NOT CORRECT,
PLERASE SET THE OPTION VALUE TO REPRESENT THE ACTUAL, INSTALLED, ONE-WAY PIPE
LENGTH BETWEEN THE ODU AND NEAREST IDU.
POWER MUST REMAIN ON WHEN PERFORMING THIS TASK.
Continued from QIG Step 22a.
Please set the option value (00, 01, 02, 03) to represent the installed,
one-way refrigerant pipe length between the ODU and NEAREST IDU.

Pressure) setting from 31 (.10” w.g. default) to option value 09 for .36” w.g.
In order to have the Fujitsu factory Extended Warranty of (10) years
for both parts and compressor, an approved “Commissioning” must
be performed within (120) days of start up.
Function Codes are built in set up options within Airstage IU and OU’s.
Many IDU function codes may be left in their default settings; used at the discretion of the
Installer, architect or engineer. However, function codes for each IDU vary and must be checked.
Please refer to the IDU and Remote Installation Manual for complete function code details.
Please refer to the “Commissioning Report” included with the J-II ODU. You may also download
the Commissioning Report at www.portal.fujitsugeneral.com (Account set up required for first
time users)
The Commissioning Report requires use of “Service Tool” and operation of the J-II system for (1)
hour in either HEAT or COOL mode of operation.
Collection of operating data for Commissioning must b with the system completely installed,
operational and error free.
See QIG Step 24a for a Commissioning Report example and support contacts.
