SERVICING PRECAUTIONS FOR UNITS USING REFRIGERANT R32 Servicing precautions for units using refrigerant R32 WARNING This unit uses a flammable refrigerant. If refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with fire or heating part, it will create harmful gas and there is risk of fire. Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

5. Detection of Flammable Refrigerants Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. 6. Leak Detection Methods Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of flammable refrigerants, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration.

H Check of R.V. coil First of all, measure the resistance of R.V. coil to check if the coil is defective. Refer to 12-4. In case CN721 is disconnected or R.V. coil is open, voltage is generated between the terminal pins of the connector although no signal is being transmitted to R.V.
Page 42
I Check of outdoor fan motor Disconnect the connectors CN931 and CN932 from the inverter P.C. board. Check the connection between the connector CN931 and CN932. Is the resistance between each terminal of outdoor fan motor normal? (Refer to 12-4.) Disconnect CN932 from the inverter P.C.

L Check of inverter P.C. board Check the outdoor fan motor. (Refer to 12-5. .) Is the fuse (F901) blown on the in- verter P.C. board? Check the connection of the connectors (CN931, CN932) of the outdoor fan motor. If the connection is poor, make it correct. Operate the outdoor unit by starting EMERGENCY OPERATION.
Page 46
M How to check miswiring and serial signal error Turn the power supply OFF. Is there rated voltage in the power supply? Check the power supply. Check for incorrect indoor-outdoor connecting wiring. Was the indoor unit ever connected to the Multi (MXZ) series and operated (turned on)? The connection information to the Multi series is stored in the indoor unit.
