Be sure to pay attention to the following before inspecting or repairing the outdoor- side electronic circuits. High-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used inside the outdoor unit controller (inverter). They retain an electrical charge (charging voltage DC 311 V) even after the power is turned OFF, and some time is required for the charge to dissipate.

Perform the trouble diagnosis by Test Run mode described on Installation Instructions of indoor unit. Important: (A) Turn OFF the power before connecting or disconnecting the motor connectors.

  • Page 59: Refrigerant R410A: Special Precautions When Servicing Unit

    When refrigerant R410A is used, the composition will differ depending on whether it is in gaseous or liquid phase, and the basic performance of the air conditioner will be degraded if it is charged while the refrigerant is in gaseous state. Thus, always charge the refrigerant while it is in liquid phase.

  • Page 60: Checklist Before Servicing

    9-2. Checklist before Servicing Use a clutch-type flare tool for R410A or the conventional flare tool. Note that sizes of the resultant flares differ between these two tools. Where a conventional flare tool is used, make sure to observe A Specification (amount of extrusion) by using the flare spacer.

  • Page 63 (5) Recharging 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.

  • Page 64: In Case Refrigerant Is Leaking

    9-6. 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 Use the detector for R410A to locate refrigerant leak points.

  • Page 65: Charging Additional Refrigerant

    9-8. Retro-Fitting Existing Systems 9-8-1. Use of Existing Units Never use new refrigerant R410A for existing units which use R22. This will cause the air conditioner to operate improperly and may result in a hazardous condition. 9-8-2. Use of Existing Tubing If replacing an older unit that used refrigerant R22 with a R410A unit, do not use its existing tubing.
