This Manual describes operation, installation and procedures for solving operation malfunctions of
HOKKAIDO Air Conditioners Monosplit “Wall” Personal Line Constant Speed HKED-HCND 261, 351, 531
G”.
This Manual is addressed to Installers and to Authorized Technical Service, that is charged to interventions
for malfunction diagnosis and for repairing and/or servicing of system.
This Manual implies that Installers and Authorized Technical Service do know well the equipments and
tools which are usually used for repairing electric, mechanical parts and refrigerant components of
air-conditioning systems with R410A refrigerant. Furthermore, people who this Manual is addressed to
should know terms of current use that are used for describing relevant operations.
In particular, it is recommended to read and follow carefully Safety Precautions and Warnings that are listed
in this Manual. Missed observance of above prescriptions may lead to serious injuries to people, and even
to death.
 Relevant Documents
This Manual is not exhaustive about system operation, so it has to be consulted together with the User
Manual, the Installation Sheets of Units and Spare Parts List referred to this Models of Units.
 General Precautions and Warnings
WARNING
In order to avoid the risk of death or of serious personal injuries caused by electric shocks, disconnect the
power cable of Units before whatever intervention of repairing or maintenance.
WARNING
In order to avoid the risk of death or of serious personal injuries caused by electric shocks, NEVER tamper
with the ground wire for any reason. The appliance must always been equipped with a ground wire. Do not
remove the Safety label referred to ground wire, which is on the power cable. If the electric system on
installation site is not equipped of ground wire, please contact a qualified Electrician, for conforming electric
system to current Regulations.
WARNING
In order to avoid the risk of death or of serious personal injuries caused by overheating of the system’s
components, it is recommended to always make the system checked for verifying if there are malfunctions
or if the system often stops suddenly.
WARNING
In order to avoid the risk of death or of serious personal injuries caused by electric shocks, earth cables and
cables whose sheath colour corresponds to ground wires, must not be used for power lines of Phase and
Neutral. Standard colour of Ground wires is Green or Yellow/Green. The electric components such as
compressor and fan motors are provided of an individual Ground wire, connected to a metal part of the
appliance. When interventions of repairing or maintenance are carried out, the above Ground wires must
not be disconnected, unless dismantling and replacing of components are needed. Before ending whatever
intervention of repairing or maintenance, it is extremely important to connect again all Ground wires
eventually disconnected before.

Monosplit “Wall” Personal Line Constant Speed - Section 1: General Information
1.2 ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF THESE MODELS
â Energy high efciency (Class A/A)
All capacities (261, 351, 531) of these systems meet requirements of Class “A” Energy Efciency,
both for operation in Cooling mode and for operation in Heating mode.
â “Ozone friendly” R410A refrigerant
R410A refrigerant does not damage ozone at all (ODP=0). Best performances assured by R410A
refrigerant allow a sensible reduction in refrigerant amount, which is required for the operation of
system. Both factors reduce the environmental impact of system.
â Advanced control for malfunction diagnosis
In case of eventual operation malfunctions, the most common among them will be shown by “Error
Codes” on LED Display of Indoor Unit and by the status of “Running” LED placed on Indoor
Unit’s frontal panel.
This allows targeted and therefore quicklier interventions for solving of eventual malfunctions.
â Operation control by infrared remote control (IR)
On IR remote control, there is a wide range of options, that is:
 The possibility to program Timer operation (“Timer On”, or “Timer Off”) of system, within max.
24 hours, by steps of ±1 hour.
 By “SLEEP” function, noise level of Indoor Unit can be reduced, as well as power consumption.
This operation option, that foresees rotation of Indoor Unit’s fan at Low speed and gradual “correction”
of temperature set by remote control, is available both in Cooling mode and in Heating mode.
 “SWING” option: automatic swinging downwards and upwards of air outlet horizontal louver,
for a uniform distribution of air supplied in the room by Indoor Unit.
 “Natural ow” option: sequence which consists in the upwards and downwards swinging of the
air outlet horizontal louver, for twice, followed by a 30-seconds’ stop of the louver and so on. This
is for simulating a light air current in the room.
 “AIR FLOW” option: automatic swinging rightwards and leftwards of air outlet vertical louvers,
for a uniform distribution of air supplied in the room by Indoor Unit.
â Automatic restart of Units after a power failure
 Normally, after 3 minutes since power is restored, the system is able to restart with the settings
that were selected before the blackout. This means there is no need to press the “ON/OFF” button

IG-3
Monosplit “Wall” Personal Line Constant Speed - Section 1: General Information
 However, if “TIMER” operation had been previously selected, it will be cancelled and need to
be set again.
 “SLEEP” function (see above), has to be expressly selected again as well.
 In the same way, if “SWING” and/or “AIR FLOW” options (see above) were active when the
blackout occurred, they will be expressly selected again.
â Devices for a higher salubrity of air
HKED 261, 351, 531 G Indoor Units are equipped of lters of mechanical type (net lters) at high
efciency air inlet, which can be easily reached for periodical cleaning.
â Advanced control of rotation of Indoor Unit’s fan
 During starting in Heating mode, indoor fan will start rotating only after Indoor Unit’s heat exchanger
has reached a temperature which avoids cold air supply by Indoor Unit. This “preheating” may require
a time interval variable from 2 minutes to 5 minutes.
 During thermostatic pauses in Heating mode, indoor fan speed will be reduced to the lowest
speed to avoid cold air supply by Indoor Unit.
 At the end of operation in Cooling mode, indoor fan will keep on rotating for a certain time interval
since compressor’s stop, so as to allow the removal of the humidity left over on Indoor Unit’s heat
exchanger. This logic of operation is in order to prevent humidity stagnation and the consequent
forming of mould on Indoor Uni’s heat exchanger.
â Operation in Heating mode with very low temperature
These systems are able to operate in Heating mode also if outdoor temperature is very low: in
fact, the lowest value of operating range in Heating mode is - 15°C. However, in these extreme
conditions, as a consequence of the operation principle of “heat pump” systems, the performance
of system will result remarkably reduced as regards environmental normal use conditions of the
system itself.
â Appearance and functions: Indoor Units HKED 261, 351, 531 G
 Operation in Emergency mode: also if the IR remote control is temporarily unavailable or
malfunctioning, in any case it will be possible to start the system in “Auto Mode”. To that end, it
will be necessary to press the special button placed below the up-and-over frontal panel of Indoor
Unit. Therefore, the control electronics will automatically select the operation mode, on the basis of
temperature conditions inside the room.
 These Indoor Units have a new design, so as to t harmoniously in residential environments.
 Moreover, for each capacity of Indoor Unit it is available on demand a range that includes 4 frontal
decorative boards in different colours (available colours: “Black”, “Gold”, “Silver”, “Light-Blue”), in

IG-4
Monosplit “Wall” Personal Line Constant Speed - Section 1: General Information
addition to the white decorative board preinstalled in factory. The installation of one of frontal decorative
board allows to adapt Indoor Unit’s appearance to different residential environments. This operation
must be carried out only by qualied Personnel.
 On these Indoor Units there is a LED Display, of orange colour, with 2 alphanumeric characters,
that is able to display alternatively the following information: set temperature value, remaining time
(hours) of operation programmed by “Timer” function, starting up of automatic defrosting function or
an eventual “Error Code” in case of a malfunction of the system. As a consequence of this, it is always
possible to carry out an instant monitoring of the system’s operation status.
 LED Display, which is always lighted up on these Models of Indoor Units, intensies its brightness
for about 10 secondes each time operation settings are changed by IR remote control. At the end of
this time interval, LED Display’s brightness softens. However, it is not possible to turn off LED Display
completely.
â Appearance and functions: Outdoor Units HCND 261, 351, 531 G
 The frontal grill and the back grill of Outdoor Units are both treated against corrosion, and the
same is true for bolts and xation screws placed outside the chassis.
 The refrigerant ttings (service valves) and the electrical connections (terminal blocks) are protected
from atmospheric agents (inltrations of rainwater) by panels and service covers.
