Defrost Detection and Release (1) Non-stop defrosting Defrosting sequence 4-way valve ON Defrost detection occurs in either of the following cases: •...
7-2-2. Current Control The operating current may rise as a result of causes including increasing heating or cooling loads or decreases in power voltage. In these cases, the operating frequency is automatically reduced, or operation is stopped, in order to control the operating current so that it is (20 A) or less.
Page 51
7-2-3. Low Start Current Operation starts at (8 Hz), and the start current is less than the normal operating current. This prevents the flickering of fluorescent lights or television screens that occurs when ordinary A/C units start. 7-2-4. Compressor Temperature Control To protect the compressor coil from overheating, the operating frequency is controlled based on the compressor discharge temperature.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING 8-1. Precautions before Performing Inspection or Repair Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit include electronic control circuits. 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.
8-2. Trouble Diagnosis by Error Monitor Lamps To prevent electric shock, do not inspect or repair until WARNING the Power Lamp on the P.C.Board is turned off. 8-2-1. Location of the Error Monitor Lamps Remove the top plate of outdoor unit and the cover of Electrical Component Box. The Power Lamp and Error Monitor Lamps are located on the P.C.Board of Electrical Component Box.

9. REFRIGERANT R410A: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING UNIT 9-1. Characteristics of New Refrigerant R410A 9-1-1. What is New Refrigerant R410A? R410A is a new refrigerant that contains two types of pseudo-non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture. Its refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency are about the same level as the conventional refrigerant, R22. 9-1-2.
Page 60
Tubing precautions Refrigerant R410A is more easily affected by dust or moisture compared with R22, thus be sure to temporarily cover the ends of the tubing with caps or tape prior to installation. Never use 0.7mm-thick copper tubing or tubing which is less than 0.8mm in thickness, since air conditioners with R410A are subject to higher pressure than those using R22 and R407C.
9-3. Tools Specifically for R410A For servicing, use the following tools for R410A Tool Distinction Tool Name Gauge manifold Charging hose Gas leak detector Refrigerant cylinder Charging cylinder Refrigerant recovery unit Vacuum pump with anti-reverse flow (*1) Tools specifically for R410A (Solenoid valve-installed type, which prevents oil from flowing back into the unit when the power is off, is recommended.) Vacuum pump (*2)...can be used if the following adapter is attached.
9-5. In Case of Compressor Malfunction Should the compressor malfunction, be sure to make the switch to a replacement CAUTION compressor as quickly as possible. Use only the tools indicated exclusively for R410A. See "9-3. Tools Specifically for R410A." 9-5-1. Procedure for Replacing Compressor (1) Recovering refrigerant Any remaining refrigerant inside the unit should not be (1) Recover refrigerant...
Page 63
(5) Recharging Configuration and characteristics of cylinders Be sure to charge the specified amount of Valve 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.
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.
9-7. Charging Additional Refrigerant 9-7-1. When Tubes are Extended Observe the proper amount of refrigerant as stated in this service manual or the installation manual that came with the indoor unit. Charge additional refrigerant in liquid state only. Never charge additional refrigerant if refrigerant is leaking from the unit. Follow CAUTION instructions given in "9-6.
