7-3. Recommended Wire Length and Size 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.
8. DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR INDOOR UNIT IMPORTANT! Please Read Before Starting Safety precautions for servicing the CEILING-MOUNTED indoor unit Before attempting to replace heavy and bulky parts such as the evaporator and fan motor, disconnect the indoor unit from the system and place it on the floor. Refer to the steps given below. When checking or servicing the air intake grille, side panels, or electrical component box, first check that power is completely disconnected.
8-2. Removing Side Panels Hook (1) Remove the 3 screws attaching the left side panel. (Fig. 3) Slot (2) Note the position of the hook on the inside of the left side panel. To disengage the hook from the slot, Hook slide down the panel for removal.
8-4. Removing Flap Motor (1) Remove the 3 screws used to mount the top panel. Screw (Fig. 6) Top panel (2) While unlatching the 2 tabs inside the back of the top panel, lift the top panel diagonally in the direction of the arrow.(Fig.
Page 53
(3) Remove the 6 screws of the front panel and pull it toward you. (Fig. 9) (4) Remove the 2 screws used to mount the Screw evaporator. (Fig. 10) (5) Remove the rubber cap to pull the thermistor out of Front panel the evaporator.
8-6. Removing Fan and Fan Motor (1) Unlatch the 2 hooks on each side to take off the front fan casing. (Fig. 12) Hook Front fan casing Hook Fig.12 (2) Remove the 2 screws attaching the rear fan casing and then pull the fan casing out. Rear fan casing Fig.13 (3) Insert a hex wrench in the fan boss and turn it...
9. FUNCTION 9-1. 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 3 minutes by the remote control unit to the controller in the indoor unit.
Page 56
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 3 minutes by the remote control unit to the controller in the indoor unit.
9-2. 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.
9-4. Freeze Prevention (Cooling) This function prevents freezing of the indoor heat exchange coil. When the compressor has been running for 10 minutes or more and the temperature of the indoor heat exchange coil falls below –1°C, the control circuit stops the compressor for at least 6 minutes. The compressor does not start again until the temperature rises above 8°C or 6 minutes has elapsed.
9-6. 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. STANDBY lamp on front of the indoor unit lights up when this function is working. when 10 minutes has elapsed,the fan speed is automatically switched to set speed regardless of indoor heat exchange coil temperature.
9-7. Defrosting Operation (Heating) Defrosting Flowchart Compressor ON Release of overload prevention (Outdoor fan operates.) Overload prevention works. Does outdoor fan stop? Outdoor fan is either operated Indoor heat exchanger coil Integrated operating time of Integrated operating time of or stopped for more than 10 temperature drops 0.8°C per compressor is more than 3 compressor is more than 1.5...

9-8. Outdoor Fan Speed Control (Cooling and Dry Operation) To optimize performance of the air conditioner, the outdoor fan speed is switched automatically according to the outdoor temperature. If the outdoor air temperature falls below A°C, the fan speed switches to LOW. If the outdoor air temperature rises above B°C, the fan speed switches to HIGH.
10. TROUBLESHOOTING 10-1. Check before and after troubleshooting WARNING Hazardous voltage can cause ELECTRIC SHOCK or DEATH. Disconnect power or turn off circuit breaker before you start checking or servicing. 10-1-1. Check power supply wiring. Check that power supply wires are correctly connected to terminals L and N on the terminal plate in the outdoor unit.
