Operation ▪ When stopping the unit, the unit might still operate for a few minutes. This is not a malfunction. 8.2.2 About cooling, heating, fan only, and automatic operation ▪ Changeover cannot be made with a user interface whose display shows "change-over under centralised control"...
Operation INFORMATION ▪ The heating capacity drops when the outside temperature falls. If this happens, use another heating device together with the unit. (When using together with appliances that produce open fire, ventilate the room constantly). Do not place appliances that produce open fire in places exposed to the air flow from the unit or under the unit.
Operation Cooling operation Heating operation Fan only operation 2 Press the ON/OFF button on the user interface. Result: The operation lamp lights up and the system starts operating. To stop 3 Press the ON/OFF button on the user interface once again. Result: The operation lamp goes out and the system stops operating.
Operation To stop 4 Press the ON/OFF button on the user interface once again. Result: The operation lamp goes out and the system stops operating. NOTICE Do not turn off power immediately after the unit stops, but wait for at least 5 minutes.

Operation AHU Air handling unit When the system is installed as shown in the figure above, it is necessary to designate one of the user interfaces as the master user interface. The displays of slave user interfaces show (change-over under centralised control) and slave user interfaces automatically follow the operation mode directed by the master user interface.
Energy saving and optimum operation 9 Energy saving and optimum operation Observe the following precautions to ensure the system operates properly. ▪ Adjust the air outlet properly and avoid direct air flow to room inhabitants. ▪ Adjust the room temperature properly for a comfortable environment. Avoid excessive heating or cooling.
Energy saving and optimum operation Automatic The refrigerant temperature is set depending on the outdoor ambient conditions. As such adjusting the refrigerant temperature to match the required load (which is also related to the outdoor ambient conditions). E.g., when your system is operating in cooling, you do not need as much cooling under low outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., 25°C) as under high outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., 35°C).
Maintenance and service 10 Maintenance and service NOTICE NEVER inspect or service the unit by yourself. Ask a qualified service person to perform this work. WARNING NEVER replace a fuse with a fuse of a wrong ampere ratings or other wires when a fuse blows out.
Maintenance and service ▪ Turn on the power at least 6 hours before operating the unit in order to ensure smoother operation. As soon as the power is turned on, the user interface display appears. 10.2 Maintenance before a long stop period E.g., at the end of the season.
Maintenance and service ▪ If repairs to the product are necessary within the warranty period, contact your dealer and keep the warranty card at hand. 10.4.2 Recommended maintenance and inspection Since dust collects when using the unit for several years, performance of the unit will deteriorate to some extent.
Maintenance and service NOTICE ▪ The table indicates main components. Refer to your maintenance and inspection contract for more details. ▪ The table indicates recommended intervals of maintenance cycles. However, in order to keep the unit operational as long as possible, maintenance work may be required sooner.

Troubleshooting 11.2.1 Symptom: The system does not operate ▪ The air conditioner does not start immediately after the ON/OFF button on the user interface is pressed. If the operation lamp lights, the system is in normal condition. To prevent overloading of the compressor motor, the air conditioner starts 5 minutes after it is turned ON again in case it was turned OFF just before.
Troubleshooting 11.2.7 Symptom: White mist comes out of a unit (Indoor unit, heat exchanger unit) When the system is changed over to heating operation after defrost operation. Moisture generated by defrost becomes steam and is exhausted. 11.2.8 Symptom: The user interface reads "U4" or "U5" and stops, but then restarts after a few minutes This is because the user interface is intercepting noise from electric appliances other than the air conditioner.
Troubleshooting 11.2.14 Symptom: The heat exchanger unit fan does not spin During operation. The speed of the fan is controlled in order to optimise product operation. 11.2.15 Symptom: The display shows "88" This is the case immediately after the main power supply switch is turned on and means that the user interface is in normal condition.

Commissioning INFORMATION During the first running period of the unit, the required power may be higher than stated on the nameplate of the unit. This phenomenon is caused by the compressor, that needs a continuous run time of 50 hours before reaching smooth operation and stable power consumption.
Commissioning Damaged equipment Check the inside of the unit for damaged components or squeezed pipes. Refrigerant leak Check the inside of the unit on refrigerant leakage. If there is a refrigerant leak, try to repair the leak. If the repair is unsuccessful, call your local dealer. Do not touch any refrigerant which has leaked out from refrigerant piping connections.
Commissioning Abnormalities on indoor units cannot be checked for each unit separately. After the test operation is finished, check the indoor units one by one by performing a normal operation using the user interface. Refer to the indoor unit installation manual for more details concerning the individual test run.
Commissioning Completion Description Normal completion Abnormal completion Refer to "Correcting after abnormal completion of the test run" [ 134] to take actions for correcting the abnormality. When the test operation is fully completed, normal operation will be possible after 5 minutes. 20.4.3 To perform a test run (7-segment display) (in case of 8 HP) 1 Make sure all field settings you want are set;...

When the test operation is fully completed, normal operation will be possible after 5 minutes. 20.4.4 Correcting after abnormal completion of the test run The test operation is only completed if there is no malfunction code displayed.
Hand-over to the user 21 Hand-over to the user Once the test run is finished and the unit operates properly, please make sure the following is clear for the user: ▪ Make sure that the user has the printed documentation and ask him/her to keep it for future reference.
Maintenance and service 22 Maintenance and service NOTICE Maintenance MUST be done by an authorized installer or service agent. We recommend performing maintenance at least once a year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter maintenance intervals. NOTICE Applicable legislation on fluorinated greenhouse gases requires that the refrigerant charge of the unit is indicated both in weight and CO equivalent.
Maintenance and service 2 Measure the voltage between terminals on the terminal block for power supply with a tester and confirm that the power supply is shut off. In addition, measure points as shown in the figure, with a tester and confirm that the voltage of the capacitor in the main circuit is less than 50 V DC.
Maintenance and service Model Result 8 HP When confirmed, the expansion valves (in the indoor unit, compressor unit and heat exchanger unit) will fully open. At that moment the 7‑segment display indication= and the user interface of all indoor units indicate TEST (test operation) and (external control) and the operation will be prohibited.
