7-2. Remote Control Unit Installation Position The remote control unit can be operated from either a non-fixed position or a wall-mounted position. To ensure that the air conditioner operates correctly, do not install the remote control unit in the following places: In direct sunlight Behind a curtain or other place where it is covered More than 8 m away from the air conditioner...
7-3. Recommended Wire Length and Diameter Regulations on wiring diameter differ from locality to NOTE locality. For field wiring requirements, please refer to Refer to the WIRING SYSTEM DIAGRAM for the your local electrical codes. Carefully observe these meaning of "A" "B", and "C" in Table 2. regulations when carrying out the installation.
7-4. How to Test Run the Air Conditioner (1) Switch on the power source. (2) When the air conditioner is not running, hold down the OPERATION button for at least 3 sec- onds. This starts the fan, producing uncooled forced air with the OPERATION lamp lit. (Fig. 6) (3) After 3 minutes, the system shifts into cooling operation, and cool air will start to be felt.
7-5. Remove the Grille to Install the Indoor Unit Grille Air intake grille Basically , these models can be installed and wired without removing the grille. If access to any internal part is needed, follow the steps as given below How to remove the grille (1) Grasp both ends of the air intake grille, and Fig.
8. FUNCTION 8-1. Room Temperature Control Cooling Room temperature control is obtained by cycling the compressor ON and OFF under control of the room temperature sensor in the remote control unit. The room temperature (and other information) is transmitted every 5 minutes by the remote control unit to the controller in the indoor unit.
Page 34
Heating Room temperature control is obtained by cycling the compressor ON and OFF under control of the room temperature sensor in the remote control unit. The room temperature (and other information) is transmitted every 5 minutes by the remote control unit to the controller in the indoor unit.
8-2. Dry Operation (Dehumidification) Dry operation uses the ability of the cooling cycle to remove moisture from the air, but by running at low level to dehumidify without greatly reducing the room temperature. The air conditioner repeats the cycle of turning ON and OFF automatically as shown in the chart below according to the room temperature.
8-3. Automatic Switching between Cooling and Heating When AUTO mode is selected, the microprocessor calculates the difference between the set temperature and the room temperature, and automatically switches to COOLING or HEATING mode to maintain the desired temperature. Room temp. ≥ Set temp. COOL Room temp.
8-4. Freeze Prevention (Cooling and Dry) This function prevents freezing of the indoor heat exchange coil. When the temperature of the indoor heat exchange coil falls below 2°C for 2 minutes, the control circuit stops the outdoor fan and compressor (The compressor stops after 3 seconds). During this period, Indoor fan operates in LL.
8-5. Cold Draft Prevention (Heating) This function controls indoor fan speed so a strong draft of cold air will not blow out before the indoor heat exchange coil have sufficiently warmed up. Indoor fan speed varies according to the indoor heat exchange coil temperature as table shown below. Condition Indoor coil temperature (°C) Indoor fan speed...
8-6. Overload Prevention (Heating) This function prevents overheating of the indoor heat exchange coil. When the temperature of the indoor heat exchange coil rises above C°C outdoor fan speed changes from H (High speed) to L (low speed). When the temperature of the indoor heat exchange coil rises above B°C outdoor fan stops, if the indoor fan is L (low speed), then the fan speed changes from L (low speed) to M (medium speed).
8-7. Automatic Fan Speed (Cooling, Dry and Heating) This automatically adjust the indoor fan speed for the room by the difference between the room temperature and set temperature. < Cooling> Room temp. T+2°c T+1°c Set temp. T°c Indoor fan H:High M:Medium L:Low <...
8-8. Defrosting Operation (Heating) Reverse-cycle Defrosting Defrosting Sequence Heating operation Compressor ON 4-way valve ON Frost detection Frosting is assumed mostly under the following condition. Indoor heat exchanger coil temperature drops 0.8°C per 6 minutes and it repeats 3 times in succession. Indoor heat exchanger coil temperature drops below certain extent.

9-4-3. Trouble Diagnosis of Indoor Fan Motor ..Applied for only indoor unit SAP-Kxxxx This indoor DC fan motor contains an internal control PCB. Therefore, it is not possible to measure the coil resistance, and the following procedure should be used to check the motor. To perform diagnosis, operate the unit in cooling mode with indoor fan speed "High".
10. REFRIGERANT R410A : SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING UNIT 10-1. Characteristics of new refrigerant R410A 10-1-1. What is new refrigerant R410A R410A is a new refrigerant that contains three types of non-azeotropy-type mixed refrigerant. Its refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency are about the same level as the conventional refrigerant R22.
Page 54
Tubing precautions Refrigerant R410A is more easily affected by dust or moisture compared with R22, thus be sure to temporarily cover the ends of the tubing with caps or tape prior to installation. Never use 0.7mm-thick copper tubing or tubing which is less than 0.8mm in thickness, since air conditioners with R410A are subject to higher pressure than those using R22 and R407C.
10-3. Tools specifically for R410A For servicing, use the following tools for R410A Tool Distinction Tool Name • Gauge manifold • Charging hose • Gas leak detector • Refrigerant cylinder • Charging cylinder Tools specifically for R410A • Refrigerant recovery unit •...
10-5. In case of compressor malfunction Should the compressor malfunction, be sure to replace compressor CAUTION as quickly as possible. Use only the tools indicated exclusively for R410A. See "10-3. Tools specifically for R410A". 10-5-1.Procedure for replacing compressor (1) Recovering refrigerant •...

(5) Recharging Valve • Be sure to charge the specified amount of refrigerant in liquid state using the service port of the wide tube service valve. The proper amount is listed on the unit's nameplate. When the entire amount cannot be charged all at once, charge gradually while operating the unit in Cooling Operation.
10-6. In case refrigerant is leaking Never attempt to charge additional refrigerant when refrigerant has been leaking CAUTION from the unit. Follow the procedure described below to locate points of leaks and carry out repairs, then recharge the refrigerant. (1) Detecting Leaks •...
10-7. Charging additional refrigerant 10-7-1.When tubes are extended • Observe the proper amount of refrigerant as stated in this service manual or the installation manual that came with the indoor unit. Charge additional refrigerant in liquid state only. Never charge additional refrigerant if refrigerant is leaking from the unit. Follow CAUTION instructions given in "10-6.
11. CHECKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Ground wire 11-1. Measurement of Insulation Resistance Clip The insulation is in good condition if the resistance exceeds 2MΩ. Probe 11-1-1. Power Supply Wires Insulation tester Clamp the ground wire of the power supply wires with Fig.
11-2. Checking Continuity of Fuse Fuse on PCB Ass'y Remove the PCB Ass’y from the electrical component box. Then pull out the fuse from the PCB Ass’y. (Fig. 5) PCB Ass’y Check for continuity using a multimeter as shown in Fig.
12. MAINTENANCE 12-1. Address Setting of the Remote Control Unit The address can be set in order to prevent interference between remote controllers when two indoor units are installed near each other. The address is normally set to “A.” To set a different address, it is necessary to change the address on the second remote controller.
