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) Use a conductive container for carrying and storing of parts. (Even rejected goods should be handled in
the same way).
Conductive sponge
IC
(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.
(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.
Body earth
(Elimik conductive band)

Resistor of 1 M (1/2W)
Staple
Earth wire
Soldering iron
2 Grounding
wire
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.
– 2 –
! 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
preventing 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 (50°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.

2. Indoor/Outdoor Interface Circuit
● The interface circuit superimposes an interface signal on the DC 35V line supplied from the outdoor unit
to perform communications between indoor and outdoor units. This circuit consists of a transmiting circuit
which superimposes an interface signal transmit from the microcomputer on the DC 35V line and a
transmiting circuit which detects the interface signal on the DC 35V line and outputs it to the microcomputer.
● Communications are performed by mutually transmiting and receiving the 4-frame outdoor request signal
one frame of which consists of a leader of approx. 100 ms., start bit, 8-bit data and stop bit and the
command signal with the same format transmit from the indoor unit.
● Communication signal from outdoor microcomputer to indoor microcomputer. At first outdoor microcomputer
will send a request signal (SDO) to indoor microcomputer. A high-frequency IF signal approx. 38 KHz is
generated and modulated by the request signal (SDO) inside the outdoor microcomputer then output to
pin 11 of microcomputer. This modulated IF signal is output to pin 30 of HIC and amplified by amp. 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 49 of the indoor microcomputer.
Fig. 2-2 shows the voltages at each component when data is transferred from the outdoor microcomputer
to the indoor microcomputer.
● Communication signal from indoor microcomputer to outdoor microcomputer. The request signal (SDO)
generates by indoor microcomputer is output to pin 50 , and amplifies by C801. IF signal approx. 38 kHz
is generated by comparator, then modulate by the request signal from pin 50 of indoor microprocessor.
This modulated IF signal is then amplified and superimposed to DC 35V line via L801 and C802 of indoor
interface circuit.
Fig. 2-3 shows the voltages 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.

0V
● In the power circuit for P.W.B., power supply for microcomputer, peripheral circuits, and system power
module driver circuit and, as well as DC 35V, are produced by switching power circuit.
● Switching power circuit performs voltage conversion effectively by switching transistor IC901 to convert
DC 330V voltage to high frequency of about 20kHz to 200kHz.
● Transistor IC901 operates as follows:
– 71 –
(2) During ON
● The drain current at IC901 increases linearly. During this period, the gate voltage and current become
constant because of the saturation characteristics of the transformer.
(3) Shifting from ON to OFF
● This circuit applies a negative feedback signal from the 12V output. When the voltage across C919
reaches the specified value, REG2 turns on and current flows to PQ2 1-2. This turns the secondary
circuits on, sets IC901 pin 1 to “Hi”, and turns IC901 off.
(4) During OFF
● While IC901 is on, the following energy charges the primary windings of the transformer:
● The drain current at IC901 generates a voltage across R906. If it exceeds the IC901 base voltage, it sets
the IC901 gate voltage to “HI”.
● R906 limits the gate voltage to prevent excessive collector current from flowing to IC901.
<Reference>
If the power circuit for P.W.B. seems to be faulty:
(1) Make sure that 5V and 12V on the control P.W.B., upper arm U, V and W, and the lower arm power
voltage are the specified values.
(2) When only the 5V output is low:
REG 1 (regulator) faulty, 5V-0V shorted, output is too high, or REG 1 is abnormal.
(3) When 12V and 5V are abnormal:
The following defects can be considered:
1 Fan, operation, power, rush prevention relay (shorting in relay, etc.)
2 Microcomputer is abnormal.
3 REG 1 (regulator is abnormal), etc.
Shorting on primary circuits.
When shorting occurs in the secondary circuits, there is no abnormality in the primary circuits because
of overcurrent protection.
The voltage rises when an opening occurs in the primary circuits, or the feedback system is abnormal.
(4) When 15V and 17V are abnormal:
D908, D909 or drive circuit is abnormal.
(5) When all voltage are abnormal:
IC901, R906, etc. are possibly abnormal.
* If IC901 is abnormal, be aware that other components, such as the power module, REG (regulator), etc.
are possibly defective.
[When the switching power supply seems to be abnormal, the voltage between IC901 pin 4 (to be measured
at the leads of R904 and R903) and IC901 pin 5 (to be measured at R906 lead) may be between 11 and
16V. This is because the protection circuit of IC901 is operating.]

To detect U phase, voltage at point C is produced by driving motor induced voltage signal (voltage at point A ) and
1/2 voltage of Vd (voltage at point B ), and comparing with comparator.
For V phase and W phase, voltage at point D and voltage at point E are produced in the same way as above. Voltage
at point C is taken into indoor unit microcomputer, switching timing to U+ transistor from W+ transistor is produced by
delaying 30° from rise waveform, ignoring spike voltage. In addition, switching timing to U-transistor from W-transistor is
produced by delaying 30° from fall waveform.
For V phase and W phase, in the same way as above, drive signals are produced from voltages at point D and point
E . Phases are shifted by 120° and 240°, respectively, comparing with U phase.

● The Ip cut off circuit detects an instantaneous excessive current and stops inverter to protect parts such
as SPM2, etc.
● As shown in diagram, if current exceeding 21A (27A for RAC-50NH5) flows, voltage at point A recognized
by detecting resistor is input to pin 10 of SPM2 – HIC, and voltage divided by R41 and R43 is input to pin
9 of IC1. Since threshold of IC1 is exceeded in this case, Lo signal is input from pin 8 (Voltage at point
B . When Lo signal is input to pin 17 of microcomputer, microcomputer stops drive output.
● When drive output from microcomputer is stopped, all drive output goes Hi, and microcomputer is initialized
to enter drive signal standby mode. 3 minutes later, microcomputer outputs drive signal again, to start
operation.

(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. 8-4 shows the overload control system configuration and Fig. 8-5 is a characteristic diagram of
overload judgement values. There are two judgement methods-external judgement which compares the
externally set value with the DC current value regardless of the rotation speed and internal judgement
which compares the set value that varies according to the rotation speed programmed in the microcomputer
software with the DC current value.

● R500, R253, detect the DC voltage at the power circuit. The microcomputer receives a DC voltage (260-
380V) via HIC U
and applies correction to the overload set value so the DC current is low (high) when
the DC voltage is high (low).
(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.)

● 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 Fig8-9.
(2) Varies the turn-ON time of the W+ transistor according to the DC voltage level and the start is
controlled so the start current is approx. 10A as shown in Fig. 8-10.

● 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 at
pin 62 of microcomputer is increased.
● Microcomputer compares the voltage present at pin 62 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 63 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 64 ), and
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 dry
mode.
The following shows the typical values of outdoor temperature in relation to the voltage:
Table 9-1
Microcomputer pin 5 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 62 – 64 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.

● This model uses DC Fan Motor which has a controller circuit in the Motor.
● This DC Fan Motor will rotate by control voltage apply to Vsp input. (Voltage range: 1.7 to 7V DC)
Vsp high : Faster ; Vsp low : slower ; Vsp lower than 1.7V : stop
● Motor will output FG pulse by following this motor revolution.
● Outdoor Microprocessor will output PWM control signal from FMCHOP terminal by following the instruction
from indoor Microprocessor.
● This PWM control signal will convert to Vsp voltage by smoothing circuit (Q101 & RC filter)
● 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 Microprocessor through PQ102.
● PQ102 is the isolator between Microprocessor circuit and DC Fan Motor circuit, which 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
● Microprocessor 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 control PWB

HOW TO CHECK SYSTEM POWER MODULE
Checking system power module using tester
Set tester to resistance range (X 100)
If indicator does not swing in the following conductivity check, the system power module is normal.
(In case of digital tester, since built-in battery is set in reverse direction, + and – terminals are reversed.)
CAUTION
If inner circuit of system power module is disconnected (open), the indicator of tester will not swing and this may
assumed as normal. In this case, if indicator swings when + and – terminals are connected in reverse of diagram
below, it is normal. Furthermore, compare how indicator swings at U, V and W phases. If indicator swings the same way
at each point, it is normal.

HOW TO OPERATE USING THE SERVICE SWITCH THE OUTDOOR UNIT
MODEL RAC-25NH5, RAC-35NH5, RAC-50NH5
1. Turn off the power supply to outdoor unit and then turn on again.
2. Remove the electrical box cover.
LD303 (red) will light and the unit will operate in the forced cooling mode at this time.
RAC-25NH5
RAC-35NH5
RAC-50NH5
(Cautions)
(1) If interface signal (DC 35V) terminals C and D are not connected when the outdoor unit is in forced cool mode, the outdoor
unit defect indicator (LD301) will blink 9 times during operation to indicate communication error.
(2) If checking is done with the compressor connector disconnected, the unit will continue normal operation when the
electrical parts are normal, or it will repeat operating for approx. one minute and stop due to overload power limit cut,
or it will operate in the overload status.
Be sure to push the service switch again to stop the forced cool operation.
The operation method is the same as “How to operate using the connector to servicing the outdoor unit”.
1 The charging amount of 300g is equivalent to the load in normal operation.
