INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R410A 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.
2Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R410A refrigerant during storage and installa-
tion, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than R22.
3For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts/materials specifically designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant pip-
ing.)
4Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent
composition change.
NOTE : The unit of pressure has been changed to MPa on the international system of units (SI unit system).
The conversion factor is: 1 (MPa [Gauge]) =10.2 (kgf/cm2[Gauge])
New Specification Current Specification
The incompatible refrigerant oil easily separates from
refrigerant and is in the upper layer inside the suction muffler.
Raising position of the oil back hole enables to back the
refrigerant oil of the upper layer to flow back to the
compressor.
Since refrigerant and refrigerant oil are compatible with
each other, refrigerant oil backs to the compressor through
the lower position oil back hole.

R410A tools Can R22 tools be used?
Gas leak detector
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.
Hose material and cap size have been changed to improve the pressure
resistance.
Dedicated for HFC refrigerant.
6.35 mm and 9.52 mm
Description
Clamp bar hole has been enlarged to reinforce the spring strength in the tool.
Provided for flaring work (to be used with R22 flare tool).
Provided to prevent the back flow of oil. This adapter enables you to use
vacuum pumps.
It is difficult to measure R410Awith a charging cylinder because the
refrigerant bubbles due to high pressure and high-speed vaporization

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.

• 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.
2Flaring work and flare nut
Flaring work for R410A pipe differs from that for R22 pipe.
For details of flaring work, refer to Installation manual “FLARING WORK”.
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 TROUBLESHOOTING
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.

11-1. 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.

Releasing the failure mode recall function
*1. Regardless of normal or abnormal, a short
beep is emitted once as the signal is received.
Note1. Make sure to release the failure mode recall function once it is set up, otherwise the unit cannot operate properly.
2. If the abnormal condition is not deleted from the memory, the last abnormal condition is kept memorized.
*2. Blinking pattern when the indoor unit is abnormal:[Output pattern A]
*3.Blinking pattern when the outdoor unit is abnormal:[Output pattern B]
Does OPERATION INDICATOR lamp on the indoor
unit blink at the interval of 0.5 seconds?
Blinks: Either indoor or outdoor unit is abnormal.
Beep sounds are emitted at the same timing of the
blinking of OPERATION INDICATOR lamp. *2
Setting up the failure mode recall function
Before blinking, does POWER
lamp stay ON for 3 seconds?
Stays ON for 3 seconds (without beep):
The outdoor unit is abnormal.
The indoor unit is abnormal.
Check the blinking pattern, and confirm the
abnormal point.
Make sure to check at least two consecutive blinking cycles. *2
Turn ON the power supply.
While pressing both OPERATION SELECT button and TOO COOL
button on the remote controller at the same time, press RESET button.
First, release RESET button.
And release the other two buttons since all LCD in operation display
section of the remote controller is displayed after 3 seconds.
Repair the defective parts.
Release the failure mode recall function by the following procedures.
With the remote controller headed towards the indoor unit, press any button
that is not used in this failure mode recall function (e.g. TIMER button) .
OR
Turn OFF the power supply and turn ON it again.
Press RESET button of the remote controller.
Judgment of indoor/outdoor abnormality
*1
Press OPERATE/STOP (ON/OFF) button of the remote controller
(the set temperature is displayed).
The outdoor unit is abnormal.
Check the blinking pattern, and confirm the abnormal
point (11-2.3.).
Make sure to check at least two consecutive blinking cycles. *3
While pressing both OPERATION SELECT
button and TOO COOLbutton on the
remote controller at the same time,
press RESET button.
First, release RESET button.
And release the other two buttons since all LCD
in operation display section of the remote controller
is displayed after 3 seconds.
Indoor unit is normal.
There is a possibility that the plasma or outdoor unit is abnormal.
Confirm the failure detail on the LED display of the outdoor
controller board.(refer to 11-2-4.)
