CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 8 Operation Details (FUNCTIONS) 8.1. TEMPERATURE SHIFT Once the operation starts, the remote control setting temperature will be shifted internally based on the setting fan speed and outdoor air temperature. In addition, if Sleep Mode or Powerful Mode are set, the temperature shift will be carried out.
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 8.2. COOLING OPERATION 8.2.1. Room Temperature Control 1. When the remote control setting temperature is less than 24°C. 2. When the remote control setting temperature is 24°C and above. ∙ Compressor OFF temperature = Compressor ON temperature.
Page 16
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 8.2.2. Deodorizing Control ∙ This control is available during automatic fan speed for Cooling and Soft Dry Operation. It is not available during anti-freezing control. ∙ When the compressor is in operation, the deodorizing status starts from 1 → 2 → 3.
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 8.3. SOFT DRY OPERATION 8.3.1. Room Temperature Control At the start of operation, cooling operation is running until the intake air temperature is 0.5°C higher than internal setting temperature, then the operation will shift to Soft Dry with indoor fan speed SLo.
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 8.4. HEATING OPERATION 8.4.1. Room Temperature Control ∙ During heating operation, the room temperature control depends on intake air temperature and internal setting temperature. Basically it can be divided into 2 periods as shown below: 1. When indoor fan speed is Medium or above.
Page 19
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE ∙ Compressor OFF temperature = compressor ON temperature. ∙ The operation frequency changes every 30 seconds. ∙ When the difference of the intake air temperature and Internal setting temperature is -1.5°C or more, compressor will operate at Fh continuously for 3 minutes and then change over to Fhmax.
Page 20
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 2. Hot Start ∙ At the start of heating operation, the indoor fan stops and compressor operates at Fhmax frequency (124Hz). This is to heat up the indoor heat exchanger in order to avoid cold air discharged.
Page 21
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE Deice Operation Time Chart ∙ Compressor frequency is set at 73Hz when the deice operation starting signal is generated. ∙ 150 seconds later deice operation starting signal is generated, indoor fan, outdoor fan, 4-way valve are turned off and compressor operates at 95Hz for 30 seconds.
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 8.5. FAN OPERATION This operation is to enable the fan operation without compressor running. Timer operation is valid for fan operation. 8.6.

CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 9.2. PROTECTION CONTROL FOR COOLING & SOFT DRY 1. Anti-Freezing Control ∙ When the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger becomes low, the compressor operating frequency is reduced and stopped when the temperature falls to lower than 2°C continuously for 6 minutes. This is to prevent freezing of indoor heat exchanger.
Page 35
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 4. High Pressure Control at Minimum Frequency Control ∙ When the outdoor air temperature increases to 38.6°C, compressor operating frequency reduces to minimum of 37Hz. Compressor operating frequency will resume to normal when outdoor air temperature decreases to 37.8°C.
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 9.3. PROTECTION CONTROL FOR HEATING OPERATION 1. Intake Air Temperature Control ∙ When the intake air temperature is 10°C or above and remote control setting fan speed is less than Medium, the compressor operates at 92Hz. 2. Outdoor Air Temperature Control ∙...
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 10 Installation And Servicing Air Conditioner Using R410A 10.1. OUTLINE 10.1.1. About R410A Refrigerant 1. Converting air conditioners to R410A Since it was declared in 1974 that chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and other substances pose a destructive danger to the ozone layer in the earth´s upper stratosphere (20 to 40 km above the earth), measures have been taken around the world to prevent this destruction.
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE conventional refrigerating machine oils. Also, these synthetic oils will degrade if mixed with mineral oil or alkylbenzene, causing clogging in capillary tubes or compressor malfunction. Do not mix them under any circumstances. 10.1.2. Safety Measures When Installing/Servicing Refrigerant Piping Cause the gas pressure of R410A is approximately 1.6 times as high as that of R22, a mistake in installation or servicing could...
Page 39
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 10.2.2. R410A Tools 1. Copper tube gauge for clearance adjustment (used when flaring with the conventional flaring tool (clutch type)) ∙ This gauge makes it easy to set the clearance for the copper tube to 1.0-1.5 mm from the clamp bar of the flaring tool.
Page 40
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 5. Charging hose ∙ The pressure resistance of the charging hose has been raised to match the higher pressure of R410A. The hose material has also been changed to suit HFC use, and the size of the fitting has been changed to match the manifold ports.
Page 41
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 9. Refrigerant cylinders ∙ The R410A cylinders are labeled with the refrigerant name, and the coating color of the cylinder protector is pink, which is the color stipulated by ARI of the U.S. ∙ Cylinders equipped with a siphon tube are available to allow the cylinder to stand upright for liquid refrigerant charging.
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 10.3. REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK 10.3.1. Piping Materials It is recommended that you use copper and copper alloy jointless pipes with a maximum oil adherence of 40 mg/10 m. Do not use pipes that are crushed, deformed, or discolored (especially the inside surface). If these inferior pipes are used, impurities may clog the expansion valves or capillaries.
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE b. Take special care when doing piping work on rainy days. The entering of moisture will degrade the refrigerating machine oil, and lead to malfunctions in the equipment. c. Complete all pipe connections in as short a time as possible. If the pipe must be left standing for a long time after removing the seal, it must be thoroughly purged with nitrogen, or dried with a vacuum pump.
Page 45
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE ∙ Press the TEST RUN button on the indoor unit, and allow preliminary operation for 5-6 minutes. (TEST RUN mode) ∙ After stopping the operation, let the unit sit for about 3 minutes, then close the 2-way valve by turning the valve stem in the clockwise direction.
Page 46
CS-VG120KE / CU-VG120KE 7. Open the valve of the refrigerant cylinder, then open the charging valve slightly and close it. Next, press the check valve of the manifold gauge and purge the air. (2)(4) (Watch the liquid refrigerant closely at this point.) 8.
