Room Temperature Control of the air conditioning system
Cooling
Room temperature control is
obtained by cycling the compressor ON and OFF under control of the room temperature sensor in the remote control unit.
l The room temperature (and
other information) is transmitted every 5 minutes by the remote control unit to
the controller in the indoor unit.
l Once the compressor starts,
it keeps running for 5 minutes.
l Once the compressor stops,
it will not start running again for 3 minutes.
l Thermo ON : When room
temperature rises 1°C above the set temperature T°C.

Dry Operation (Dehumidification) of the air conditioning system
Dry operation uses the
ability of the cooling cycle to remove moisture from the air, but by running at
low level to dehumidify without greatly reducing the room temperature. The
air conditioner repeats the cycle of turning ON and OFF automatically as shown in the chart below according to
the room temperature.
Automatic Switching between Cooling and Heating of the air
conditioning system
When AUTO mode is selected,
the microprocessor calculates the difference between the set temperature and the room temperature, and automatically switches to COOLING or
HEATING mode to maintain the desired temperature.

COOLING operation begins. If the room temperature is
lower than the set temperature,
HEATING operation begins. Example of operation in the AUTO mode with the set room
temperature at 23 °C. The air conditioner changes the operation mode (from cool to
heat or vice versa)

Executing self-diagnostics |
After turning on power to the air conditioner, use the
remote controller and |
follow the steps below to execute self-diagnostics.
|
Step 1:
Press and hold the remote controller QUIET button and 1 HR TIMER
|
button. At the same time, press the ACL (reset) button. Use
a pointed |
object such as the tip of a pen to press the ACL button.
|
When this has been done, "oP-1" (test run) appears,
blinking, in the |
remote controller clock display area.
|
Step 2 :
Next, press the 1 HR TIMER button once to change the display from
|
"oP-1" to "oP-3" (self-diagnostics). (The display continues
to blink.)
|
Step 3:
Finally press the ON/OFF button to engage self-diagnostics mode.
|
The self-diagnostics function utilizes the 3 indicator
lamps on the main unit, in |
combinations of ON lamps, blinking lamps, and OFF lamps, to
report the |
existence of sensor trouble or a protective operation. (The
lamps blink or |
remain ON for 5 seconds, then turn OFF for 2 seconds.)
Self-diagnostics is |
completed when the buzzer sounds 3 short beeps. |
A maximum of 3 self-diagnostics reports are displayed, for
5 seconds each, |
beginning with the most recent report. Following this
display the lamps turn |
OFF. In order to view the self-diagnostics results again,
press the ON/OFF |
button again. |
The 3 lamps remain OFF if no trouble has occurred.
|
<IMPORTANT>
After self-diagnostics
is completed, be sure to press the ACL |
(reset) button to return to normal mode. The air
conditioner will |
not operate if this is not done. |

11. CHECKING ELECTRICAL
Components
11-1. Measurement of Insulation
Resistance
The insulation is in good
condition if the resistance exceeds 1M½.
11-1-1. Power supply cord
Clamp the grounding wire of power cord with the lead clip of the insulation resistance tester and measure the resistance by placing a probe on either of the two power
wires. Then also measure the resistance between the grounding and other power terminals. (Fig. 1)
11-1-2. Indoor unit
Clamp an aluminum plate fin or copper tube with the lead clip of the insulation resistance tester and measure the resistance by placing a probe on each terminal screw where power supply lines are connected on the terminal plate.
11-1-3. Outdoor unit
Clamp an aluminum plate fin or copper tube with the lead clip of the insulation resistance tester and measure the resistance by placing a probe on each terminal screw on the
terminal plate. Note that the ground line terminal should be skipped for the check.
11-1-4. Measurement of insulation
resistance for electrical parts
Disconnect the lead wires of the desired electric part from terminal plate, capacitor, etc. Similarly disconnect the connector. Then measure the insulation resistance.
12. REFRIGERANT R410A: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING UNIT
12-1. Characteristics of New Refrigerant R410A
12-1-1. 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.
12-1-2. Components (mixing proportions)
HFC32 (50%) / HFC125 (50%)
12-1-3. Characteristics
Less toxic, more chemically
stable refrigerant The composition of
refrigerant R410A changes whether it is in a gaseous phase or liquid phase.
Thus, when there is a refrigerant leak the basic performance of the air
conditioner may be degraded because of a change in composition of the remaining refrigerant.
Therefore, do not add new refrigerant.
Instead, recover the remaining refrigerant with the refrigerant recovery unit. Then,
after evacuation, totally recharge the specified amount of refrigerant with the new refrigerant at its normal
mixed composition state (in liquid phase).
l 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.
12-2. 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.
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.
No addition of
compressor oil for R410A
No additional charge of compressor oil is permitted.
No use of refrigerant
other than R410A
Never use a refrigerant other than R410A.
If refrigerant R410A is
exposed to fire
Through welding, etc., toxic gas may be released when R410A
refrigerant is exposed to fire. Therefore, be sure to provide ample ventilation during installation work.
Caution in case of R410A
leak
Check for possible leak points with the special leak detector
for R410A. If a leak occurs inside the room, immediately provide thorough ventilation.
12-5-1. Procedure for replacing compressor
(1) Recovering refrigerant
Any remaining refrigerant
inside the unit should not be released to the atmosphere, but recovered using the refrigerant recovery unit for R410A.
Do not reuse the recovered
refrigerant, since it will contain impurities.
(2) Replacing Compressor
l Soon after removing seals
of both discharge and suction tubes of the new compressor, replace it quickly.
(3) Checking for sealing
Use nitrogen gas for the
pressurized gas, and never use a refrigerant other than R410A. Also do not use oxygen or any flammable gas.
(4) Evacuation
Use a solenoid
valve-installed vacuum pump
so that even if power is cut off in the middle of evacuation of air due to a power interruption, the valve will prevent the pump oil from flowing back.
The equipment may be
damaged if moisture remains in the tubing, thus carry out the evacuation thoroughly.
When using a vacuum pump
with exhaust air volume more than 25L/min. and ultimate vacuum pressure rate of 0.05Torr:
Length of tubing |
Less than 10 meters |
More than 10 meters |
Time |
More than 10 minutes |
More than 15 minutes |
(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. When charging with a
refrigerant cylinder, use an electronic scale for charging refrigerant. In this case, if the volume of refrigerant in the cylinder becomes less than 20% of the fully-charged amount, the composition of the refrigerant starts to change. Thus,
do not
use the refrigerant if the amount in the charging cylinder is less than 20%.
Also, charge the minimum necessary amount to the charging cylinder before using it to charge the air conditioning unit.
Example:
In case of charging refrigerant to a unit requiring 0.76Kg using a capacity of a 10Kg cylinder, the minimum necessary amount for the cylinder is: 0.76 + 10 ΄ 0.20 = 2.76Kg
For the remaining refrigerant, refer to the instructions of the refrigerant manufacturer.
l If using a charging
cylinder, transfer the specified amount of liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the charging cylinder. Prepare an evacuated charging cylinder beforehand.
Do not use the refrigerant if the amount in the charging cylinder is less than 20%.
CAUTION Never charge a large
amount of liquid refrigerant at once to the unit. This may cause damage to the compressor.
CAUTION
To prevent the composition of R410A from changing, never bleed the refrigerant gas into the atmosphere while transferring the refrigerant.
12-7. Charging Additional Refrigerant
12-7-1. When Tubes are Extended
l 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.
12-8. Retro-Fitting Existing Systems
12-8-1. Use of Existing Units
l 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.
12-8-2. Use of Existing Tubing
If replacing an older unit
that used refrigerant R22 with a R410A unit,
do not use its existing tubing.
Instead, completely new tubing must be used.
CAUTION Never charge
additional refrigerant if refrigerant is leaking from the unit. Follow instructions given in 12-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking and
completely carry out repairs. Only then should you recharge the refrigerant.
