1SAFETY 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.
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.
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.
OCH617

33
[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 a syphon type.
· Charging should be performed with the cylinder of syphon standing vertically. (Refrigerant is charged from liquid phase.)
Gravimeter
Unit
[3] Service tools
Use the below service tools as exclusive tools for R410A refrigerant.
No. Tool name Specifications

· Only for R410A
· Use the existing fitting specifications. (UNF1/2)
· Use high-tension side pressure of 5.3MPa·G or over.
2Charge hose · Only for R410A
· Use pressure performance of 5.09MPa·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.

8-1. COUNTERMEASURES FOR ERROR DURING TEST RUN
If a problem occurs during test run, a code number will appear on the remote controller (or LED on the outdoor unit), and the
air conditioning system will automatically cease operating.
Refer to the connected outdoor unit service manual in order to determine the nature of the abnormality and apply corrective
measure.

1 Check if the drain float switch works properly.
2 Check if the drain pump works and drains water properly in cooling operation.
3 If no water drains, confirm that the check code 2502 will not be displayed 10 minutes after the
operation starts.
Note: The drain pump for this model is driven by the internal DC motor of controller board, so it is not
possible to measure the resistance between the terminals.
Normal
Red–Black: Input 13 V DC →Thefan starts to rotate.
Purple–Black: Abnormal (check code 2502) if it outputs 0–13 V square wave (5 pulses/rotation), and
the number of rotaion is not normal.

Turn the power ON while the i-see sensor connector is connected to the CN4Z on indoor
controller board. A communication between the indoor controller boad and i-see sensor
board is made to detect the connection.
Normal: When the operation starts, the motor for i-see sensor is driven to rotate the i-see sensor.
Abnormal: The motor for i-see sensor is not driven when the operation starts.
Note: The voltage between the terminals cannot be measured accutately since it is pulse output.

Linear expansion valve
1 Operation summary of the linear expansion valve
• Linear expansion valves open/close through the use of a stepping motor after receiving the pulse signal from the indoor
controller board.
• Valve position can be changed in proportion to the number of pulse signals.
<Connection between the indoor controller board and the linear expansion valve>
Note : Since the number of the connector at the controller board side and the relay connector are different, follow the color of
the lead wire.
