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 manufactures during maintenance and handling thereof. (They apply the same to handling of
abnormal goods such as rejected goods being returned.)
2. Object parts
(1) Microcomputer
(4) P.C. boards or the like to which the parts mentioned in (1) and (2) of this paragraph are equipped.
IC Conductive sponge
UV
,188
1TH1
IC40
CH I
HITA
(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.
1MΩ
3
(6) Use a three wire type soldering iron including a grounding wire.
Working table
Resistor 1MΩ(1/2W)
Staple
Earth wire
soldering iron
Grounding wire
Use a high insulation mode (100V, 10MΩ 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 short circuit a load circuit or the like.
4
! CAUTION
1. In quiet or stop operation, 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 turn off the circuit breaker for safety.
3. In the event of power failure,the room air conditioner will restare automatically in the previously selected
mode once the power is restored. In the event of power failure during TIMER operation, the room air comditioner
will not start automatically. Re-press ON/OFF button after 3 minutes from when the unit off or power recovery.
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.

DESCRIPTION OF MAIN CIRCUIT OPERATION
MODEL RAK-18/25/35/50PED
RAK-25/35/50PEDC
Fig. 1-1
・An AC power supply from outdoor unit passes through the 3.15 A fuse, varistor (VA001), and noise filter circuit and rectified
and smoothed by DB1 and C003 to become a DC current 325 V. It is then supplied to indoor fan motor drive circuit,and
switching power circuit.
・The switching power circuit, as controlled by IC001, drives the primary winding of the transformer (T001) to produce a
specified voltage at the output winding. [The output terminal (pin ⑦⑧) of IC001 has a switching voltage. But it changes in
voltage peak and oscillation period depending on the power load. usually,the oscillation frequency when the air condition
operation is about 67 kHz. In the standby state, the oscillation frequency is lowered to a level as low as 20 kHz or so to
reduce the standby power.]
・The outputs of the output windings of the transformer is rectified and smoothed to become DC voltages at primary 18.5 V,
and 12 V respectively. The primary 18.5 V is supplied to the drive circuit of the indoor fan motor, the 12 V is supplied
to each vane motor and to the drive circuits of the cleaning unit driving motor and other equipment, the 12 V is adjusted
to a stable 5 V by the 3-terminal regulator IC (IC101) and supplied to the microcomputer peripheral circuit.
Check
If a failure in a part or circuit has produced an abnormal current in the power supply, the 3.15 A fuse will melt down to
prevent further damage. If the 3.15 A fuse melts down, check the indoor fan motor, switching electrical circuit, and other
components and replace any defective part.
Check
If an abnormally high voltage is applied to the power supply, the 3.15 A fuse and varistor (VA001) will prevent further
damage. If a high voltage results in the 3.15 A fuse melted down, the varistor (VA001) should have deteriorated and
destroyed. Therefore replace it at the same time.
Caution
The primary circuit of the transformer (T001) has a voltage to ground. Guard against electric shocks.

䊶 The indoor fan motor receives VDC (motor drive power supply), VCC (power supply for the control circuit inside the motor),
and VS (speed command voltage) from CN2. The indoor fan motor returns an FG signal of a frequency that matches the
rotation speed.
䊶 VCC stabilizes the primary 18.5 V power supply into 15 V by using Q201 and supplies it.
䊶 While on standby for a remote control signal, the Q201 shuts down the VCC and reduces the standby power.
䊶 The VS receives a command voltage from the microcomputer (IC601). The VS terminal undergoes an analog voltage that
matches the Lo level time ratio of the pulse signal from pin $5 of the microcomputer. (See Fig. 3-2.)
䊶 The FG terminal undergoes a signal of 12 pulses per revolution of the motor shaft. By counting the pulse rate, the
microcomputer (IC601) recognizes the motor speed, thereby performing feedback control.

Caution
The indoor fan motor and drive circuit are connected to the primary power supply. They therefore have voltage to ground.
Guard against electric shocks.

6. Initial Setting Circuit (IC531)
When power is supplied, the microcomputer reads the data in IC531 (E2PROM) and sets the preheating
activation value and the rating and maximum speed of the compressor, etc. to their initial values.
Data of self-diagnosis mode is stored in IC531; data will not be erased even when power is turned off.

・Indoor and outdoor communications are conducted by using lines 2 and 3 of F cable. Line 2 of F cable is shared with a
transmission channel that powers the outdoor unit.
・Data communicated between the indoor and outdoor units are outputted from the microcomputer as serial signals and are
transmitted as demodulated by a 30 kHz carrier wave. (Both the indoor and outdoor microcomputers directly output a signal
demodulated at 30 kHz.)
Check
If a cable poorly inserted in the indoor terminal board or some other failure overheats the terminal board and the
temperature fuse of the terminal board blows out, the power to the indoor communication circuit will be shut down to stop
the communications function. (In that case, the failure will be displayed by the timer lamp blinking 3 times.)
Check
If communication fails between the indoor and outdoor units for some reason, the product will give a self-diagnosis
display either by "the timer lamp blinking 3 times" or "the timer lamp blinking 12 times" depending on the cause.

Self-diagnosis memory ・The failure modes detected on the indoor and outdoor unit sides
are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the indoor unit and can be
read later on.
ǂ(The memory will remain even after power-off.)
・The failure modes detected on the outdoor unit side are written in
memory every time any such mode occurs. The failure mode can
therefore be detected on the indoor unit side without waiting for
the retry frequency to reach the display of the indoor unit lamp.
Moreover, the normal self-diagnosis display function which rarely
occurs will store and display failure modes that do not end up
displaying the indoor unit lamp.
ǂ(Any such mode may be unable to be stored if indoor or outdoor
communications is in a failure.)
・The product stores 5 last-stored failure modes.
・There is a function for deleting memory. Once you clear the
memory and run the product for several days, you can read the
failure modes and check them, thereby detecting the less
frequent failure phenomena.
・Failure modes can be checked by both the blinking of the lamp of
the indoor unit and the display of the remote control liquid crystal
display.
ĆThe "self-diagnosis function of the communication circuit" available in our conventional models is now incorporated
as part of the normal self-diagnosis function. In the case of a failure in the communication circuit, you do not have
to conduct a special operation and the operations can be automatically divided into 3 blinking operations and 12
blinking operations of the timer lamp. However, a strong external noise may have resulted in 12 times of blinking.

・ If the 3.15 A fuse has blown out, eliminate the cause of the fuse blowout. Otherwise, there will occur
another fuse blowout.
・ If the 3.15 A fuse has blown out due to an abnormally high voltage to the power supply, the varistor

2.Failure phenomenon: The product will not receive a remote control signal.
Situation The product does not receive a remote control signal. It is not very responsive.
(The product does run normally in response to the emergency operation switch.)
Estimated failure ・ Remote control failure, remote control low battery level, remote control poorly set
locations ・ Remote control light-receiving unit
・ Connector loose, wire break
・ Normal product (external factors: the remote control units for lighting equipment and other
equipment, electrical noise, etc.)
Cautions ・ Even if the product is trouble-free, a factor coming from outside the product may hamper the
reception of signals from the remote control unit.
・ Batteries may decline in capacity at low temperatures. Old batteries decline particularly much in
voltage in the morning and evening of winter, resulting in the poor arrival of remote control signals.

How to identify sources of jamming in the reception of remote control signals
[ Situation ] The product may become poorly responsive to remote control signals due to external factors even though the
product itself is trouble-free.
[ Estimating sources of jamming ] Identify the installation status of the air-conditioner and the indoor and outdoor
environments to identify possible causes of the jamming.
・Indoor lighting equipment (quantity, type, location)
・Remote control units of other electrical products and equipment
・Is the grounding for the air-conditioner shared with other equipment?
・Are the surroundings of the air-conditioner clear of wireless antenna?
・Is the remote control light-receiving unit protected from direct sunlight?
Actions proposed
1. Make it hard for light of the lighting equipment to enter the
ǂremote control light-receiving unit.
Indoor unit
2. Add an interference filter to the front panel of the remote control light-receiving unit.
ǂĆ Lighting equipment that produces strong jamming exists although rarely.
ǂǂSome problems may therefore be unsolvable by managing the air-conditioner side alone.
Actions proposed
If there is any such possibility, give explanations to your users to that effect and
instruct them to exercise caution.
90
Effects of other Checking points
electrical products ・Check the effects of light and power noises coming from other electrical products.
・Turn on and off the electrical products, turn off the power and turn on the power, and check their effects
on the reception of remote control signals.
・For products whose operating states change, check the effects of each state.
Actions proposed
・Change the location relationship between the air-conditioner and the target products.
・Use a different wall outlet for the target products.
Actions proposed
・Establish an independent grounding for the air-conditioner.
Grounding
Actions proposed
・Add a ferrite core to the power cord and F cable.
・Add a ferrite core to the internal wiring of the indoor unit.
・Move the wireless antenna.
Actions proposed
・Block the sunlight to protect against direct sunlight.

Cautions
1. Applying power directly to the outdoor unit will cause a rush current to stress the outdoor unit.
Therefore, if the indoor unit is not out of order, do not use the method descried in 2).
2. Before making the connections, be sure to turn off the breaker.
3. Do not under any circumstances run the product for more than 5 minutes.
4. Doing work with the compressor connector removed will cause the LD301 to blink 4 times.
It will not start.
5. For another test run, turn off the breaker and turn it back on. (The test switch is accepted only
once after power-on. After operation by remote control, it is not accepted.)
6. When the operation with the test switch is over, turn off the breaker and set the connectors back.
