Joints For copper pipes, flare joints or socket joints are used. Prior to use, be sure to remove all contaminants. a) Flare Joints Flare joints used to connect the copper pipes cannot be used for pipings whose outer diameter exceeds 20 mm.
Page 14
d) Flare Processing Make certain that a clamp bar and copper pipe have been cleaned. ØD By means of the clamp bar, perform the flare processing correctly. Use either a flare tool for R410A or conven- tional flare tool. Flare processing dimensions differ according to the type of flare tool.
Page 16
3-3. Tools 3-3-1. Required Tools The service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air-water heat pump using R410A is changed to prevent mixing of other refrigerant. To reinforce the pressure-resisting strength, flare processing dimensions and opposite side dimension of flare nut (For Ø12.7 copper pipe) of the refrigerant piping are lengthened.
3-4. Recharging of Refrigerant When it is necessary to recharge refrigerant, charge the specified amount of new refrigerant according to the following steps. Recover the refrigerant, and check no refrigerant remains in the equipment. When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated –0.1 Mpa (–76 cmHg), place the handle Low in the fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pump’s power switch.
1. Be sure to make setting so that liquid can be charged. 2. When using a cylinder equipped with a siphon, liquid can be charged without turning it upside down. It is necessary for charging refrigerant under condition of liquid because R410A is mixed type of refrigerant. Accordingly, when charging refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, charge it turning the cylinder upside down if cylinder is not equipped with siphon.

Page 77
CAUTION A high voltage (equivalent to the supply voltage) is also energized to ground through the sensors, PMV and other low-voltage circuits. The sensor leads and other wires are covered with insulated tubes for protection. Nevertheless, care must be taken to ensure that these wires are not pinched. Take sufficient care to avoid directly touching any of the circuit parts without first turning off the power.
11-1. First Confirmation 11-1-1. Confirmation of Power Supply Confirm that the power breaker operates (ON) normally. 11-1-2. Confirmation of Power Voltage Confirm that power voltage is AC 220–230–240 ± 10%. If power voltage is not in this range, the unit may not operate normally. 11-1-3.
11-2. Primary Judgment To diagnose the troubles, use the following methods. 1) Judgment by flashing LED of indoor unit 2) Self-diagnosis by service check remote controller 3) Judgment of trouble by every symptom Firstly use the method 1) for diagnosis. Then, use the method 2) or 3) to diagnose the details of troubles. 11-3.
11-4. Self-Diagnosis by Remote Controller (Check Code) 1. If the lamps are indicated as shown B to E in Table 11-3-1, execute the self-diagnosis by the remote controller. 2. When the remote controller is set to the service mode, the indoor controller diagnoses the operation condition and indicates the information of the self-diagnosis on the display of the remote controller with the check codes.
Page 81
11-4-2. Caution at Servicing 1. After servicing, press the START/STOP button to return to the normal mode. 2. After servicing by the check code, turn off breaker of the power supply, and turn on breaker of the power supply again so that memory in the microcomputer returns the initial status. However, the check codes are not deleted even if the power supply is turned off because they are stored in the fixed memory.
