10. TROUBLESHOOTING
10-1. Precautions before Performing Inspection or Repair

After checking the self-diagnostics monitor, turn the power OFF before starting inspection or repair.
High-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used inside the outdoor unit controller (inverter).They retain an electrical charge
(charging voltage DC 310 V) even after the power is turned OFF, and some time is required for the charge to dissipate. Be
careful not to touch any electrified parts before the controller LED (red) turns OFF.
If the outdoor controller is normal, approximately 30 seconds will be required for the charge to dissipate. However, allow at
least 5 minutes for the charge to dissipate if there is thought to be any trouble with the outdoor controller.
After repairs are carried out, be sure to press and hold the TEST RUN button until the buzzer sounds 2 times to erase the
diagnosis results.

10-2. Method of Self-Diagnostics Main unit controller


If the indoor unit operation lamp is blinking every 0.5 seconds, follow the
procedure below to perform detailed trouble diagnostics.

NOTE

1. If the operation lamp blinks every 0.5 seconds immediately when the power is turned ON,
there is an external ROM (OTP data) failure on the indoor circuit board or ROM socket
insertion problem, or the ROM has not been installed. Make sure the ROM is in existence.
2. The failure mode is stored in memory even when the power is not ON. Follow the procedure
below to perform diagnostics.
OPERATION button TEST button

PROCEDURE

1. Turn the power supply switch ON. However, the A/C itself should remain stopped.
2. Press and hold the TEST RUN button on the main unit controller until the buzzer sounds 1 time.
At this time, releasing the TEST RUN button starts self-diagnostics.
3. If there is a sensor failure or a protective function has activated, self-diagnostics lamps 1, 2, and 3 will illuminate in the
following pattern: 5 seconds blinking (illuminated) + 2 seconds OFF. (Buzzer sounds once while lamps are OFF.)
NOTE If there is no trouble, then self-diagnostics lamps 1, 2, and 3 do not illuminate, and the buzzer does not sound.
4. Diagnostics is completed when the buzzer sounds 3 times.
< IMPORTANT> After repairs are carried out, be sure to press and hold the TEST RUN button until the buzzer
sounds 2 times. When the TEST RUN button is released, the buzzer sounds 1 long beep, and
the diagnosis results are erased.

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).
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.

Ether-type oil is used for compressor oil for R410A-type units, which is different
CAUTION
from the mineral oil used for R22. Thus more attention to moisture prevention and
faster replacement work compared with conventional models are required.

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.

Specification A

Dia.15.88 mm (5/8")

Size of flare

Spacer

Flare tool for R410A Conventional flare tool (R22)

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.

56

CAUTION
The above tools specifically for R410A must not be used for R22 and R407C.
Doing so will cause malfunction of the unit.
For the above vacuum pump (*1, *2) and vacuum pump adapter (*3), those for
R22-type units can be used for R410A-type. However, they must be used
exclusively for R410A and never alternately with R22 and R407C.

To prevent other refrigerants (R22, R407C) from being mistakenly charged to this unit, shape and external
diameter of the service port screw has been altered.
<External diameter of service port> R410A : 7.94 mm (5/16")
R22, R407C : 6.35 mm (1/4")

12-4. Tubing Installation Procedures


When the tubes are connected, always apply HAB oil on the flare portions to improve the sealing of tubing.
The following is the HAB oil generally used:
Esso: ZERICE S32

NOTE For details on tubing installation procedures, refer to the installation manuals attached to the indoor
unit and outdoor unit.

57
12-5. In Case of Compressor Malfunction

CAUTION
Should the compressor malfunction, be sure to make the switch to a replacement
compressor as quickly as possible.
Use only the tools indicated exclusively for R410A. See "12-3. Tools
Specifically for R410A."

12-5-1. Procedure for Replacing Compressor

Liquid
CAUTION
Never charge a large amount
of liquid refrigerant at once to
the unit. This may cause
Single valve
damage to the compressor.
Charge liquid refrigerant with
cylinder in up-side-down position.
When charging with a refrigerant cylinder, use an
electronic scale for charging refrigerant. In this Fig. 1
case, if the volume of refrigerant in the cylinder
becomes less than 20% of the fully-charged Valve
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.
Liquid
Example:
In case of charging refrigerant to a unit requiring
0.76Kg using a capacity of a 10Kg cylinder, the
Single valve (with siphon tube)
minimum necessary amount for the cylinder is: Charge with cylinder in normal position.
0.76 + 10 0.20 = 2.76Kg
