2SAFETY PRECAUTION
CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT
Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A
Charge refrigerant from liquid phase of gas
cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from gas phase, composition
change may occur in refrigerant and the efficiency will be
lowered.
Do not use refrigerant other than R410A.
If other refrigerant (R22 etc.) is used, chlorine in refrige-
rant can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check
valve.
Vacuum pump oil may flow back into refrigerant cycle and
that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use the following tools specifically designed for
use with R410A refrigerant.
The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant.
Handle tools with care.
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of com-
pressor.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of refrigera-
nt will change and the efficiency will be lowered.
Flare tool
Electronic refrigerant
charging scale
Vacuum pump adaptor
Size adjustment gauge
Gauge manifold
Torque wrench
Gas leak detector
Charge hose
Tools for R410A
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of com-
pressor.
If large amount of mineral oil enters, that can cause deterio-
ration of refrigerant oil etc.
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
The old refrigerant and lubricant in the existing piping
contains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the
lubricant deterioration of the new unit.
Use “low residual oil piping”
If there is a large amount of residual oil (hydraulic oil, etc.)
inside the piping and joints, deterioration of the lubricant
will result.
Never use any refrigerant other than that specified.
Doing so may cause a burst, an explosion, or fire when the
unit is being used, serviced, or disposed of.
Correct refrigerant is specified in the manuals and on the
spec labels provided with our products.
We will not be held responsible for mechanical failure,
system malfunction, unit breakdown or accidents caused
by failure to follow the instructions.
Use the specified refrigerant only.
Store the piping indoors, and both ends of the
piping sealed until just before brazing.
(Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.)
The refrigerant oil applied to flare and flange
connections must be ester oil, ether oil or
alkylbenzene oil in a small amount.
Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during
operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with
a flame, poisonous gases will be released.

Gravimeter
Unit
[3] Service tools
Use the below service tools as exclusive tools for R410A refrigerant.
[1] Cautions for service
(1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely.
(2) Do not release refrigerant in the air.
(3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant.
(4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously.
Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant.
[2] Additional refrigerant charge
When charging directly from cylinder
· Check that cylinder for R410A on the market is syphon type.
· Charging should be performed with the cylinder of syphon stood vertically. (Refrigerant is charged from liquid phase.)
No. Tool name Specifications
1Gauge manifold · Only for R410A
· Use the existing fitting specifications. (UNF1/2)
· Use high-tension side pressure of 5.3 MPa·G or over.
2Charge hose · Only for R410A
· Use pressure performance of 5.09 MPa·G or over.
3Electronic scale —
4Gas leak detector · Use the detector for R134a, R407C or R410A.
5Adaptor for reverse flow check · Attach on vacuum pump.
6Refrigerant charge base —
7Refrigerant cylinder · Only for R410A · Top of cylinder (Pink)

1Operation summary of the linear expansion valve
• Linear expansion valve opens/closes through stepping motor after receiving the pulse signal from the indoor controller board.
• Valve position can be changed in proportion to the number of pulse signal.

The output pulse shifts in above order.
• When linear expansion valve operation stops, all output phase
become OFF.
• At phase interruption or when phase does not shift in order, motor
does not rotate smoothly and motor will lock and vibrate.
• When the switch is turned on, 2200 pulse closing valve signal will
be sent till it goes to point Ain order to define the valve
position.
• When the valve moves smoothly, there is no noise or vibration
occurring from the linear expansion valves; however, when the
pulse number moves from Eto Aor when the valve is locked,
more noise can be heard than in a normal situation.
• Noise can be detected by placing the ear against the screw
driver handle while putting the screw driver tip to the linear
expansion valve.

Symptom Check points
Operation circuit
failure of the micro
processor
Disconnect the connector on the controller board, then con-
nect LED for checking.
When power is turned on, pulse signals will be output for 10
seconds. There must be some defects in the operation circuit
if the LED does not light while the signals are output or keeps
lighting even after the signals stop.
Countermeasures
Exchange the indoor con-
troller board in case of
drive circuit failure.
Linear expansion
valve mechanism is
locked.
Valve does not close
completely.
Wrong connection
of the connector or
contact failure
To check the linear expansion valve, operate the indoor unit
in fan mode and at the same time operate other indoor units
in cooling mode, then check the pipe temperature <liquid
pipe temperature> of the indoor unit by the
outdoor multi controller board operation
monitor. During fan operation, linear expan-
sion valve is closed completely and if there
is any leaking, detecting temperature of
the thermistor will go lower. If the detected
temperature is much lower than the tem-
perature indicated in the remote controller,
it means the valve is not closed all the way.
It is not necessary to exchange the linear expansion valve, if
the leakage is small and not affecting normal operation.
Thermistor
(Liquid pipe)
Linear
expansion
valve
Motor will idle and make a ticking noise when the motor is
operated while the linear expansion valve is locked. This tick-
ing sound is the sign of the abnormality.
Check the color of lead wire and missing terminal of the con-
nector.
Exchange the linear expan-
sion valve.
Exchange the linear expan-
sion valve.
If large amount of refriger-
ant is leaked, exchange
the linear expansion valve.
Disconnect the connector
at the controller board,
then check the continuity.
Measure the resistance between each coil (white-red, yellow-
brown, orange-red, blue-brown) using a tester. It is normal if
the resistance is in the range of 200 ±10%.
