2. If it is necessary to replace any parts, they should be replaced with respective genuine parts for the unit, and
the replacement must be effected in correct manner according to the instructions in the Service Manual of the
unit.
If the contacts of electrical

parts are defective, replace the
electrical parts without trying to
repair them.
3. After completion of repairs, the initial state should

be restored.
4. Lead wires should be connected and laid as in the

initial state.
5. Modification of the unit by user himself should

absolutely be prohibited.
6. Tools and measuring instruments for use in repairs or inspection should be accurately calibrated in advance.
7. In installing the unit having been repaired, be careful to prevent the occurence of any accident such as
electrical shock, leak of current, or bodily injury due to the drop of any part.
8. To check the insulation of the unit, measure the insulation resistance between the power cord plug and grounding
terminal of the unit. The insulation resistance should be 1MΩ or more as measured by a 500V DC megger.
9. The initial location of installation such as window, floor or the other should be checked for being and safe
enough to support the repaired unit again.
If it is found not so strong and safe, the unit should be installed at the initial location reinforced or at a new
location.
10. Any inflammable thing should never be placed about the location of installation.
11. Check the grounding to see whether it is

proper or not, and if it is found improper,
connect the grounding terminal to the earth. DANGER

WORKING STANDARDS FOR PREVENTING BREAKAGE OF SEMICONDUCTORS
1. Scope
The standards provide for items to be generally observed in carrying and handling semiconductors in relative
manufacturers during maintenance and handling thereof. (They apply the same to handling of abnormal
goods such as rejected goods being returned).
2. Object parts
(1) Micro computer

(2) Integrated circuits (IC)
(3) Field-effect transistors (FET)
(4) P.C. boards or the like on which the parts mentioned in (1) and (2) of this paragraph are equipped.
3. Items to be observed in handling
(1) Use a conductive container for carrying and storing of parts. (Even rejected goods should be handled in
the same way).
A conductive polyvinyl bag IC
Conductive sponge
IC
Fig. 1 Conductive Container
(2) When any part is handled uncovered (in counting, packing and the like), the handling person must always
use himself as a body earth. (Make yourself a body earth by passing one M ohm earth resistance through
a ring or bracelet).
(3) Be careful not to touch the parts with your clothing when you hold a part even if a body earth is being
taken.
(4) Be sure to place a part on a metal plate with grounding.
(5) Be careful not to fail to turn off power when you repair the printed circuit board. At the same time, try to
repair the printed circuit board on a grounded metal plate.

Use a high insulation mode (100V, 10M or higher) when ordinary iron is to be used.
(7) In checking circuits for maintenance, inspection or some others, be careful not to have the test probes of
the measuring instrument shortcircuit a load circuit or the like.

! CAUTION
1. In quiet operation or stopping the running, slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle is
heard occasionally, but this noise is not abnormal for the operation.
2. When it thunders near by, it is recommend to stop the operation and to disconnect the power cord plug from
the power outlet for safety.
3. The room air conditioner does not start automatically after recovery of the electric power failure for prevent-
ing fuse blowing. Re-press START/STOP button after 3 minutes from when unit stopped.
4. If the room air conditioner is stopped by adjusting thermostat, or missoperation, and re-start in a moment,
there is occasion that the cooling and heating operation does not start for 3 minutes, it is not abnormal and
this is the result of the operation of IC delay circuit. This IC delay circuit ensures that there is no danger of
blowing fuse or damaging parts even if operation is restarted accidentally.
5. This room air conditioner should not be used at the cooling operation when the outside temperature is
below -10°C (14°F).
6. This room air conditioner (the reverse cycle) should not be used when the outside temperature is below
–15°C (5°F).
If the reverse cycle is used under this condition, the outside heat exchanger is frosted and efficiency falls.
7. When the outside heat exchanger is frosted, the frost is melted by operating the hot gas system, it is not
trouble that at this time fan stops and the vapour may rise from the outside heat exchanger.

Notes
In quiet operation or stopping the running, the following phenomena may
occasionally occur, but they are not abnormal for the operation.
(1) Slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle.
(2) Slight rubbing noise from the fan casing which is cooled and then
gradually warmed as operation stops.
The odor will possibly be emitted from the room air conditioner because
the various odor, emitted by smoke, foodstuffs, cosmetics and so on,
sticks to it. So please clean the air filter and the evaporator regularly to
reduce the odor.
Please contact your sales agent immediately if the air conditioner still fails to operate normally after
the above inspections. Inform your agent of the model of your unit, production number, date of
installation. Please also inform him regarding the fault.
Please note:
On switching on the equipment, particularly when the room light is dimmed, a slight brightness
fluctuation may occur. This is of no consequence.
The conditions of the local Power Supply Companies are to be observed.

Notes:
(1) Hot dash is engaged if the difference between the room temperature and set temperature is equal to that between the room temperature, at which the compressor reaches maximum speed, and set temperature (△TWMAX), and the room and outdoor
temperatures are less than 10℃; when the fan speed is "auto", operation is started at "Hi", or the fan speed is changed to "Hi" during heating.
(2) The maximum compressor speed period during hot dash is finished ① when the room temperature reaches the heating set temperature (including heating shift) plus SFTDSW or ② when the thermo is off.
(3) The thermo OFF temperature during hot dash is heating set temperature (including heating shift) plus 3℃. After thermo OFF, hot dash finishes, and fuzzy control starts.
(4) The compressor minimum ON time and minimum OFF time is 3 minutes.
(5) The time limit for which the maximum compressor speed (WMAX) or (WMAX2) during normal heating (except for hot dash) can be maintained is less than 120 minutes when the room temperature is 18℃ or more; it is not provided when the room
temperature is less than 18℃ and outdoor temperature is less than 2℃.
(6) The operation indicator blinks every second during initial cycle operation, preheating, defrosting (including balance time after defrosting is finished), or auto fresh defrosting.
(7) For preheating judgment, preheating starts if the heat exchange temperature is lower than YNEOFC and is cancelled if the heat exchange temperature is YNEOF plus 0.33℃ or higher at the start of operation using the START / STOP button.
(8) During the operation at the fan speed of "Lo" or "Silent", the compressor speed is set to WBEMAX or below. It is restricted to WJKMAX or below when the fan speed is "Med".
(9) If the outdoor temperature (data from outdoor unit) is 6℃ or more, the maximum compressor speed is WSTD.
(10) If the room temperature falls to less than 18℃ in the "Ultra-Lo" mode, the indoor fan stops. When the room temperature is 18℃+0.33℃ or more, the ultra-Lo operation restarts. However, the ultra-Lo operation during preheating or preheating after
defrosting does not stop if the room temperature is less than 18℃.
(11) WMAX2 is used as the maximum compressor speed during hot dash, when the outdoor temperature is less than -5℃.
(12) With thermo OFF or in approximately 1 minute after operation is stopped using the remote controller, the fan operates in the "Ultra-Lo" mode.
This operation is for discharging heat from the indoor unit.

Fig. 6-1
First, 35V power which operates the indoor unit is generated by the power source section of the outdoor unit and
supplied to the indoor unit through the C and D lines of the connecting cable.
Second, use the DC/DC converter and the 35 V power supply from the outdoor unit to generate 12 V control
power, which drives the stepping motor during the operation.
In addition, use the regulator IC 121 to generate 5 V power required for driving the micro computer and controlling
fan motor.
If the terminal block was overheated due to a connecting cable improper connection, the thermal fuse built in the
terminal block will burnt to shut off the 12 V line and stop the operation of the indoor unit. Then, the outdoor unit
cannot be communicated with the indoor unit and a communication error occurs (the outdoor LD301 will blink 9
times), stop all operations.

R751 and C751 and applied to the fan motor as the speed
command voltage.
Fig. 7-3 shows the relation between the voltage at the
point B and the speed. (Some differences will occur

The micro computer monitors the frequency and adjusts
the output pulse range of the pin 1 so 1 as to keep the
command speed.
s If the feedback pulse is 100 min-1 or less due to a locked fan motor or failure, the fan output will be
stopped temporarily as fan lock error. After 10 seconds, restart the output of the pulse. If fan lock
error is detected twice within 30 minutes, all units are stopped and the unit will come in the failure
mode. (The timer lamp will blink 10 times.)

MODEL RAC-08PH1 RAC-10PH1
1. Power circuit
This circuit is to convert the power from AC which is provided from the terminal A and B to DC voltage.
And produces an AC current which does not exceed the harmonic amplitude limit of the IEC61000-3-2.
When the compressor is stopped, the AC voltage becomes about 300 V and while the compressor
operates, it is about 280 V.
Main parts
(1) DB2
The DB2 rectifies the AC voltage.
The possible causes for the DB2 failure are as follows. The 15 A fuse may be blown out or the IPM
for the main P.W.B. may have a failure. In such a case, check the 15 A fuse for blowout and replace
the main P.W.B. if necessary.
(2) DB3, L1, C023 and L2

The DB3, L1, C023 and L2 shape waveform of the input current.
When the current runs through the L1 is taken for I1 and the current runs through the L2 is taken for
I2 as shown in Fig. 1-2, I1 becomes an input current to the capacitor which peak value was crushed
by the L1 and I2 becomes a resonance current which causes the LC resonance using the L2 and
C023. By combining the I1 and I2, the input current from the main power shapes a waveform shown
in the right side of Fig. 1-3, indicating that the waveform is similar to sine wave. The more the
waveform is similar to the sine wave, the lower the harmonic current becomes.
If the C023 has any failure, the protection unit activates and the C023 in open mode. In such a case,
replace the failed parts.

When the input voltage is taken for the sine wave as
shown in the top of Fig. 1-4, it is rectified by the DB2
and becomes the waveform as shown in the middle
of Fig. 1-4. After that, the voltage is smoothed by the
C021 and C022, and becomes the waveform shown

The DB1 rectifies the input voltage and the C41
smoothes it for the control power supply.

If the units above have any failure, the control power
supply won’t operate. In such a case, replace the
main P.W.B.

(5) C001 to C003, C011, L101, and L102

They absorb electrical noise generated during Fig. 1-4
operation of compressor, and also absorb external
noise entering from power line to protect electronic
parts.
Be sure to connect the earth cable between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. Otherwise, the
noise filter circuit won’t operate properly.
(6) SA1 and VS1 to VS3

These surge absorber and varistors absorb external power surge such as induced thunder.
Be sure to connect the earth cable between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. Otherwise, the
surge absorber and the varistors won’t operate.
(7) R002 and R007

The resistor R002 protects the rush current when the power is turned on while the resistor R007
protects the rush current when the compressor starts.
When the R002 has any failure, the control power supply won’t operate. When the R007 has any
failure and a strong rush current is generated, the DB2, C021 or C022 may be damaged.

2. Indoor/Outdoor Interface Circuit
The interface circuit superimposes an interface signal on the DC 35V line to perform communications
between indoor and outdoor units. This circuit consists of a transmitting circuit which superimposes an
interface signal transmit from the microcomputer on the DC 35V line and a circuit which detects the
interface signal on the DC 35V line.
Communications are performed alternatively transmitting and receiving.
2-1 Communication signal from outdoor microcomputer to indoor microcomputer.

At first outdoor microcomputer will send a request signal (SDO) to indoor microcomputer.
38 KHz of carrier signal is generated and modulated by the request signal (SDO) from the outdoor
microcomputer pin h.
This signal is superimposed to DC 35V line via C801 and L801.
To prevent erroneous reception, the outdoor microcomputer is designed so that it cannot receive a
signal while it is outputting a request signal.
The receiving circuit in the indoor unit consists of a comparator and transistor. The interface signal
from the outdoor unit on the DC 35V line is supplied to C821, where DC components are eliminated,
and is then shaped by the comparator. The shaped signal is detected by diode, amplified by amp,
and output to pin i of the indoor microcomputer.
Fig. 2-2 shows the waveforms at each component when data is transferred from the outdoor
microcomputer to the indoor microcomputer.
2-2 Communication signal from indoor microcomputer to outdoor microcomputer.

The request signal (SDO) generates by indoor microcomputer is output to pin j , and amplifies by
Q801.
I/F signal approx. 38 kHz is generated by comparator, then modulated by the signal from pin j of
indoor microprocessor.
This modulated I/F signal is then amplified and superimposed to DC 35V line via L801 and C802 of
indoor interface circuit.
Fig. 2-3 shows the waveforms at each component when data is transferred from outdoor
microcomputer to indoor microcomputer.
The circuit operation of the outdoor receiving circuit is same as indoor receiving circuit.

3. Intelligent power module circuit (IPM circuit)
Fig. 3-1 shows peripheral circuits of intelligent power

module (IPM).
In the diagram, U+,V+ and W+ are called the

"upper arm", U-, V- and W-, the "lower arm".
49
Fig. 3-1 System power module circuit (U+ is ON, V- is ON)
Intelligent power module switches power supply current according to position of the compressor motor
rotor.
The switching order is as shown in Fig. 3-2.
At point E: U+ is ON, V- is ON (circuit in Fig. 3-1)
At point F: U+ is chopped (OFF), V- is ON (circuit in Fig. 3-4)

Upper arm transistor is controlled to ON/OFF by 2.5kHz-5kHz chopper signal. Rotation speed of the
compressor is proportional to duty ratio (ON time/ ON time + OFF time) of this chopper signal.
Time T in Fig. 3-2 shows the switching period, and relation with rotation speed (N) of the compressor is
shown by formula below;
N = 60/2 X 1/T
Fig. 3-3 shows voltage waveform at each point shown in Figs. 3-1 and 3-4. First half of upper arm is

When power is supplied U+→ V- , because of that U+ is chopped, current flows as shown below;
(1) When U+ transistor is ON: U+ transistor → U coil → V coil → V- transistor → DC current detection
resistor → Point B (Fig. 3-3)
(2) When U+ transistor is OFF: (by inductance of motor coil) U coil → V coil → V-transistor →
U- diode → Point A (Fig. 3-4)

Fig. 3-4 Power module circuit (U+ is OFF, V– is ON)
Since current flows at point B only when U+ transistor and V– transistor are ON, the current waveform
at point B becomes intermittent waveform as shown in Fig. 3-3. Since current at point B is approximately
proportional to the input current of the air conditioner, input current is controlled by using DC current
(Id) detection resistor.

6-2. Overload control circuit (OVL control circuit)
Overload control is to decrease the speed of the compressor and reduce the load when the load on
the air conditioner increases to an overload state, in order to protect the compressor, electronic
components and power breaker.
Overloads are judged by comparing the DC current level and set value.
Fig.6-4 shows the overload control system configuration and Fig. 6-7 is a characteristic diagram on
overload judgement values. There are two types of control which has named IS OVL and ID OVL.
IS OVL is limiting the whole input of this room air conditioner system through the current sensor CT1
in order to keep the maximum rating of components by reading total operating current.
ID OVL is watching and limits the compressor current through the detection resistor, which is built in
IPM in order to control the compressor reliability. Since the compressor reliability is related with its
speed, the ID OVL value is also linked with the compressor speed. Fig. 6-7 shows an ID OVL limitation
curve.
All of OVL operation values were programmed into EEPROM memory.

R003,R004,R608,R613, detect the DC voltage at the power circuit. The microcomputer receives a DC
voltage and applies correction to the overload set value so the DC current will be low when the DC
voltage is high.
(Since the load level is indicated by the DC voltage multiplied by DC current, R247, R248, R249 are
provided to perform the same overload judgement even when the voltage varies.)

(3) Start current control
It is required to maintain the start current (DC current) constant to smooth the start of the DC motor
of the compressor.
RAC-18YH6, RAC-25YH6 uses software to control the start current.
The start current varies when the supply voltage varies. This control method copes with variations in
the voltages as follows.
1. Turns on the power module’s U+ and V- transistors so the current flows to the motor windings as
shown in Fig. 6-9.
2. Varies the turn-ON time of the U+ transistor according to the DC voltage level and the start is
controlled so the start current is approx. 10A .

The Over heat thermistor circuit detects the temperature at the surface of the compressor head, the Defrost.
thermistor circuit detects the defrosting operation temperature.
A thermistor is a negative resistor element which has the characteristics that the higher (lower) the temperature,
the lower (higher) the resistance.
When the compressor is heated, the resistance of the Over heat thermistor becomes low and voltage to a
pin s of microcomputer is increased.
Microcomputer compares the voltage at pin s with the internal set value, if it is exceeded the set value
microcomputer judges that the compressor is overheated and stops operation.
When frost forms on the outdoor heat exchanger, the temperature at the exchanger drops abruptly. Therefore
the resistance of the Defrost. thermistor becomes high and the voltage at pin w of microcomputer drops.
If this voltage becomes lower than the set value stored inside, the microcomputer starts defrosting control.
During defrosting operation the microcomputer transfers the defrosting condition command to the indoor
microcomputer via the circuit interface.
The microcomputer always reads the outdoor temperature via a thermistor (microcomputer pin x ), an
transfers it to the indoor unit, thus controlling the compressor rotation speed according to the value set at the
EEPROM in the indoor unit, and switching the operation status (outdoor fan on/off, etc.) in the dehumidifying
mode.
The following shows the typical values of outdoor temperature in relation to the voltage:

<Reference>
When the thermistor is open, in open status, or is disconnected, microcomputer pins s,w,x are approx.
0V; when the thermistor is shorted, they are approx. 5 V, and LD301 blinks seven times.
However, an error is detected only when the OH thermistor is shorted; in such a case, the blinking mode
is entered 12 minutes after the compressor starts operation.

6-5. Reversing valve control circuit
In this unit, reversing valve control circuit turns ON/OFF the power to the reversing valve coil by
opening/closing the reversing valve relay.
Opening/closing of relay will differ depending on the operation condition. (In the cooling cycle,
reversing valve relay is normally ON (close).)

Electric expansion valve is driven by B-12V. Opening of the valve is controlled by feeding power to 1
or 2 phases of the 4-phase coil to switch the polarity of the coil.
The relation between the conducting phase switching direction and open/close direction is as shown
below. When the power is turned on, approx. 0.9 V is applied to CN15 pins 1 to 4 ; when no power
is supplied, approx. 12 V is applied. When the power is reset, expansion valve performs initial
operation for 5 to 10 seconds.During initial operation, measure pins 1 to 4 of CN15 using
multimeter: If no change is found around 0.9 V or 12V, expansion valve or microcomputer is
defective.

This model uses DC Fan Motor which has a controller circuit built in the Motor.
This DC Fan Motor will rotate by control voltage apply to Vsp input. (V(Voltage range: 1.7 to 7V DC)
Vsp high : Faster ;
Vsp low : slower ;
Vsp lower than 1.7V : stop
V
Motor will output FG pulse by following this motor revolution.
Outdoor microcomputer will output PWM control signal from 24 by following the instruction from
indoor microcomputer.
This PWM control signal will convert to Vsp voltage by smoothing circuit. (R242 & C209)
Fan motor will start to rotate when Vsp was proceeding over than 1.7V, and generate FG pulse by
rotation speed.
FG pulse will feed back to Outdoor microcomputer 53 .
DC Fan Motor circuit has to match the Fan Motor revolution with instructed revolution. Such as...
FG feedback: Faster Instruction: Slower ... Decrease pulse width
FG feedback: Slower Instruction: Faster ... Increase pulse width
FG pulse is also used for Fan Motor failure detection.
Microcomputer will monitor FG pulse 30 seconds after start the fan motor. If there is no signal detected,
it will consider that the Fan Motor was malfunction and stop the operation. In this case, LD302 on main
P.W.B. will blink 12 times. (Fan Motor lock detected)
R107 and IC4 are used for Fan Motor over current.
65

< Reference >
When operation stop with LD301 blinks 12 times, it may be caused by faulty DC fan motor.
In this case, please check CN6 and CN12 connection first. It makes Fan Motor Lock also if those
connectors are in misconnection.
DC Fan Motor has broken invites 1A Fuse burned. Please replace both DC Fan Motor and 1A Fuse
together.
It will makes “Fan Lock Stop” when something has disturb the Fan rotation by inserting materials into
propeller fan or ice has growing inside of outdoor unit by snowing.
It may make “Fan Lock Stop” by strong wind (ex. 17m/sec or above) against the Fan rotation. In this case
unit will be restart again after a while.
In case of “ Fan Lock Stop” even though the DC Fan Motor is rotating correctly, the possible cause in Fan
Motor problem or control board problem. Stop after the Fan motor runs 2 minutes, Fan Motor may be
broken.
< Caution >
Please take care for the electrical shock by high voltage of DC Fan Motor power source which is common
with compressor when you are servicing this unit.
You can not confirm the coil and wiring of Motor directly due to the built in control circuit in Fan Motor.

3. Indoor/Outdoor Interface Circuit
The interface circuit superimposes an interface signal on the DC 35V line to perform communications
between indoor and outdoor units. This circuit consists of a transmitting circuit which superimposes an
interface signal transmit from the microcomputer on the DC 35V line and a circuit which detects the
interface signal on the DC 35V line.
Communications are performed alternatively transmitting and receiving.
3-1 Communication signal from outdoor microcomputer to indoor microcomputer.

At first outdoor microcomputer will send a request signal (SDO) to indoor microcomputer.
38 KHz of carrier signal is generated and modulated by
microcomputer pin 44 .the request signal (SDO) from the outdoor
This signal is superimposed to DC 35V line via C801 and L801.
To prevent erroneous reception, the outdoor microcomputer is designed so that it cannot receive a
signal while it is outputting a request signal.
The receiving circuit in the indoor unit consists of a comparator and transistor. The interface signal
from the outdoor unit on the DC 35V line is supplied to C321, where DC components are eliminated,
and isthen shaped by the comparator. The shaped signal is detected by diode, amplified by amp, and
output to pin 51 of the indoor microcomputer.
Fig. 3-2 shows the waveforms at each component when data is transferred from the outdoor
microcomputer to the indoor microcomputer.
3-2 Communication signal from indoor microcomputer to outdoor microcomputer.

The request signal (SDO) generates by indoor microcomputer is output to pin 52 , and amplifies by
Q331.
I/F signal approx. 38 kHz is generated by pin 88 of indoor microprocessor.
This I/F signal is then amplified and superimposed to DC 35V line via L301 and C332 of indoor
interface circuit.
Fig. 3-3 shows the waveforms at each component when data is transferred from indoor microcomputer
to outdoor microcomputer.
The circuit operation of the outdoor receiving circuit is same as indoor receiving circuit.

The Over heat thermistor circuit detects the temperature at the surface of the compressor head, the Defrost.
thermistor circuit detects the defrosting operation temperature.
A thermistor is a negative resistor element which has the characteristics that the higher (lower) the temperature,
the lower (higher) the resistance.
When the compressor is heated, the resistance of the Over heat thermistor becomes low and voltage to a
pin 66 of microcomputer is increased.
Microcomputer compares the voltage at pin 66 with the internal set value, if it is exceeded the set value
microcomputer judges that the compressor is overheated and stops operation.
When frost forms on the outdoor heat exchanger, the temperature at the exchanger drops abruptly. Therefore
the resistance of the Defrost. thermistor becomes high and the voltage at pin 65 of microcomputer drops.
If this voltage becomes lower than the set value stored inside, the microcomputer starts defrosting control.
During defrosting operation the microcomputer transfers the defrosting condition command to the indoor
microcomputer via the circuit interface.
The microcomputer always reads the outdoor temperature via a thermistor (microcomputer pin 67 ), an
transfers it to the indoor unit, thus controlling the compressor rotation speed according to the value set at the
EEPROM in the indoor unit, and switching the operation status (outdoor fan on/off, etc.) in the dehumidifying
mode.
The following shows the typical values of outdoor temperature in relation to the voltage:
Table 5-1

R303 Voltage (V) 1.19 1.69 2.23 2.75 3.22 3.62
<Reference>
When the thermistor is open, in open status, or is disconnected, microcomputer pins 65 - 67 are approx.
0V; when the thermistor is shorted, they are approx. 5 V, and LD301 blinks seven times.
However, an error is detected only when the OH thermistor is shorted; in such a case, the blinking mode
is entered 12 minutes after the compressor starts operation.

• To drive the expansion valve, use the B-12 V output. Use a 4-phase coil and feed power to the phases
1 and 2, then switch over the filed poles to control the opening of the valve.
• The reference between conducting phase switch over direction and the open/close direction are
shown in Table 7-1. When the power is turned on, approx. 0.9 V is applied to the CN15 and the pins
(㽲 to 㽵) and when no power is supplied, 12 V is applied. When the power is reset, the expansion
valve starts initial operation for 5 to 10 seconds.
• During the initial operation, measure each pin of the CN15 (㽲 to 㽵) with a multimeter. If no change
is found around 0.9 V or 12V in this step, the expansion valve or the microcomputer has failure.
• The logic waveform during the operating of the expansion valve is shown in Fig. 7-2.

The external fan motor is controlled by the outdoor microcomputer.

This outdoor fan motor estimates the actual speed, based on the DC current flowing to R741; it then
adjusts this value as necessary, so that it becomes the speed corresponding to the operation command
transmitted from the indoor unit. In addition, overcurrent detection and other fault detection is
performed, based on the DC current.

< Reference >
When operation stop with LD301 blinks 12 times, it may be caused by faulty DC fan motor.
In this case, please check CN24 connection first. It makes Fan Motor Lock a lso if those䇭 connectors
are in misconnection.
DC Fan Motor has broken invites 2A Fuse burned. Please replace both DC Fan Motor and 2A Fuse䇭
together.
It will makes “Fan Lock Stop” when something has disturb the Fan rotation by inserting materials into
propeller fan or ice has growing inside of outdoor unit by snowing.
It may make “Fan Lock Stop” by strong wind (ex. 17m/sec. or above) against the Fan rotation. In this
case unit will be restart again after a while.
In case of “ Fan Lock Stop” even though the DC Fan Motor is rotating correctly, the possible cause in
Fan Motor problem or control board problem. Stop after the Fan motor runs 2 minutes, Fan Motor
may be broken.
< Caution >
Please take care for the electrical shock by high voltage of DC Fan Motor power source which is
common with compressor when you are servicing this unit.
You can not confirm the coil and wiring of Motor directly due to the built in control circuit in Fan Motor.

DISCHARGE, PROCEDURE AND POWER SHUT OFF METHOD FOR
POWER CIRCUIT
WARNING
Caution
s Voltage of about 350 V is charged between the terminal of smoothing capacitors (375μF x 2).
s During continuity check for each circuit part of the outdoor unit, be sure to discharge the smoothing
capacitors.
Discharge Procedure
1. Turn off the power of the indoor unit or pull out the power supply plug.
2. After power is turned off, wait for 10 minutes or more. Then, remove electrical parts cover
and apply soldering iron of 30 to 75 W for 15 seconds or more to TAB05 and R001 terminals
on the main P.W.B. as shown in the figure below, in order to discharge voltage in smoothing
capacitor.(RAC-08PH1,RAC-10PH1)
3. After power is turned off, wait for 10 minutes or more. Then, remove electrical parts cover
and apply soldering iron of 30 to 75 W for 15 seconds or more to IPM(25) and IPM(33)
terminals on the main P.W.B. as shown in the figure below, in order to discharge voltage

Other Cautions
(1) Cautions concerning ICP (IC Protector)

1. Use due caution for short circuit in servicing.
Short circuit will open the ICP immediately.
2. When the ICP opens, remove the cause of this phenomenon and replace the ICP.
If the remedy is improper, the ICP may open again.

The Q111 is a MOS-FET and its gate terminal is a high impedance. When a probe such as a multimeter
is contacted with the gate G, the Q111 may have the continuous ON state to supply overcurrent in the
circuit, causing the ICP1 blowout and Q111 failure.
When checking the switching waveform of the Q111, set the source S to the base and measure the
gate G and drain D.
(4) During power feeding to the P.W.B., do not remove and insert the CN10 (fan motor connector).
Failure to do so may cause overcurrent to the fan motor and P.W.B.s (micro computer, IC and the
like) and a failure may occur. To remove or insert the CN10, be sure to shut off the power.

THE SUPPORT FUNCTION OF FAILURE DIAGNOSIS
No. Function Name Description
1 Self-diagnosis indication function • The “timer lamp” indicates a mode of failure detected
<Indicating a failure on the indoor on the indoor or outdoor unit side by blinking
unit side> frequency.
• A failure detected on the outdoor unit side will be
indicated by the “timer lamp” blinking 4 times after a
retry operation has been performed several times.
Note: In some failure modes, only the retry operation is
repeated without lamp indication.
<Failure modes that will repeat a retry operation without

the indoor unit lamp indication are as follows:>
OH thermistor temperature rise
Outdoor unit communication error
Power voltage abnormal
Less frequent defects
<Indicating a failure on the outdoor • The “LD301” indicates a mode of failure detected on

the outdoor unit side by blinking frequency.
Upon failure detection, the outdoor unit will shut down
and the LD301 continues to blink until the unit is reset.
(In the event of communication errors, the LD301
continues to blink until communication is restored.)
