SAFETY PRECAUTION

Cautions for units utilising refrigerant R410A
2-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT
2-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY
Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply
circuits must be disconnected.
[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.
Use new refrigerant pipes.
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.
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
Contamination inside refrigerant piping can cause deterio-
ration of refrigerant oil, etc.
If large amount of mineral oil enters, that can cause deterio-
ration of refrigerant oil, etc.
The refrigerant oil applied to flare and flange
connections must be ester oil, ether oil or
alkylbenzene oil in a small amount.
Make sure that the inside and outside of refrige-
rant piping is clean and it has no contaminants
such as sulfur, oxides, dirt, shaving particles, etc,
which are hazards to refrigerant cycle.
In addition, use pipes with specified thickness.
Store the piping indoors, and both ends of the
piping sealed until just before brazing.
(Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.)
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of compressor.
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.
Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during
operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with
a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
Use the specified refrigerant only.
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.

compressor, poor connection of wiring, noise, etc.
Re-check the symptom, and check the installation
environment, refrigerant amount, weather when the
trouble occurred, matters related to wiring, etc.

Reset check code logs and restart the unit after finishing
service.
3There is no abnormality in electrical component,

9-2. MALFUNCTION-DIAGNOSIS METHOD BY REMOTE CONTROLLER
<In case of trouble during operation>
When a malfunction occurs to air conditioner, both indoor unit and outdoor unit will stop and operation lamp blinks to inform
unusual stop.
• "CHECK" lights, and refrigerant
address "00" blinks.
• Check that the remote controller's
display has stopped before continuing.
• Select the refrigerant address of the
indoor unit for the self-diagnosis.
Note: Set refrigerant address using the
outdoor unit’s DIP switch (SW1).
(For more information, see the
outdoor unit installation manual.)
• If an air conditioner error occurs, the
indoor unit's sensor emits an intermit-
tent buzzer sound, the operation lamp
blinks, and the check code is output.
(It takes 3 seconds at most for check
code to appear.)
• The check mode is cancelled.
