INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R410A REFRIGERANT


• This room air conditioner adopts an HFC refrigerant (R410A) which never destroys the ozone layer.
• Pay particular attention to the following points, though the basic installation procedure is same as that for R22 conditioners.
1 As R410A has working pressure approximate 1.6 times as high as that of R22, some special tools and piping parts/
materials are required. Refer to the table below.
2 Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R410A refrigerant during storage and
installation, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than R22.
3 For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts/materials specifically designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant
piping.)
4 Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent
composition change.

1. Tools dedicated for the air conditioner with R410A refrigerant


The following tools are required for R410A refrigerant. Some R22 tools can be substituted for R410A tools.
The diameter of the service port on the stop valve in outdoor unit has been changed to prevent any other refrigerant being
charged into the unit. Cap size has been changed from 7/16 UNF with 20 threads to 1/2 UNF with 20 threads.

R410A tools Can R22 tools be used? Description


R410A has high pressures beyond the measurement range of existing
Gauge manifold No gauges. Port diameters have been changed to prevent any other refrigerant
from being charged into the unit.

2. Refrigerant piping
1 Specifications
Use the refrigerant pipes that meet the following specifications.

Outside diameter Wall thickness


Pipe Insulation material
mm mm
6.35 0.8
For liquid
9.52 0.8 Heat resisting foam plastic
9.52 0.8 Specific gravity 0.045 Thickness
For gas 12.7 0.8 8 mm
15.88 1.0

• Use a copper pipe or a copper-alloy seamless pipe with a thickness of 0.8 mm. Never use any pipe with a thickness less
than 0.8mm, as the pressure resistance is insufficient.
2 Flaring work and flare nut
Flaring work for R410A pipe differs from that for R22 pipe.
For details of flaring work, refer to Installation manual “FLARING WORK”.

Dimension of flare nut (mm)


Pipe diameter (mm)
R410A R22
6.35 17 17
9.52 22 22
12.7 26 24
15.88 29 27
3. Refrigerant oil
Apply the special refrigerant oil (accessories: packed with indoor unit) to the flare and the union seat surfaces.

4. Air purge
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation, reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant
circuit.
Use the vacuum pump for air purging for the purpose of environmental protection.

5. Additional charge
For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and the
outdoor unit. In this case, ability of the refrigerating cycle decreases or normal operation can be impossible. However,
charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may cause the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.

11-1. Cautions on troubleshooting


1. Before troubleshooting, check the following:
1) Check the power supply voltage.
2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for miswiring.
2. Take care the following during servicing.
1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn OFF the main unit first with the remote controller, and turn off the breaker.
2) Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before removing the front panel, the cabinet, the top panel, and the electronic
control P.C. board.
3) When removing the electrical parts, be careful of the residual voltage of smoothing capacitor.
4) When removing the electronic control P.C. board, hold the edge of the board with care NOT to apply stress on the
components.
5) When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, hold the housing of the connector. DO NOT pull the lead wires.

Lead wire Housing point


3. Troubleshooting procedure
1) First, check if the OPERATION INDICATOR lamp is blinking on and off to indicate an abnormality. To make sure,
check how many times the abnormality indication is blinking on and off before starting service work.
2) Before servicing check that the connector and terminal are connected properly.
3) If the electronic control P.C. board is supposed to be defective, check the copper foil pattern for disconnection and
the components for bursting and discoloration.
4) When troubleshooting, refer to 11-2. and 11-3.

A How to check inverter/compressor

Disconnect the connector between compressor


and the intelligent power module (IPM).

Check the voltage between terminals. See B “Check of open phase”.

Are the voltages balanced? Replace the inverter P.C. board.


No
Yes

Check the compressor. See D “Check of compressor”.

B Check of open phase

With the connector between the compressor and the intelligent power module disconnected, activate the inverter and check if
the inverter is normal by measuring the balance of voltage between the terminals.

The output voltage values have the tolerance of ± 20%.

<< Operation method(Test run operation)>>


1. Press the EMERGENCY OPERATION switch or the Test button to COOL or HEAT mode.
2. Test run operation starts and continues to operate for 30 minutes.
3. Compressor starts at rated frequency in COOL mode or 58Hz in HEAT mode.
4. Indoor fan operates at High speed.
5. After 30 minutes, test run operation finishes and EMERGENCY OPERATION starts.
6. To cancel test run operation (EMERGENCY OPERATION), press the EMERGENCY OPERATION switch or the ON/OFF
button on remote controller.

2. Measure the voltage by analog type tester.
3. During this check, LED of the inverter P.C. board flashes 9 times. (Refer to 11-6-1, 11-6-2)

C Check of compressor

Refer to e “Check of compressor winding”. Replace the compressor.


Is the compressor normal? No
Yes

Refer to f “Check of compressor operation Is the compressor

Does the compressor operate continuously? 10 seconds?
Yes Yes
OK. Check the refrigerant circuit.

a How to check inverter/compressor

Disconnect the connector between


compressor and the intelligent power module
(IPM).

Check the voltage between terminals. See 11-5. “Check of open phase”.

Are the voltages balanced? Replace the inverter P.C. board.


No
Yes

Check the compressor. See 11-5. D “Check of compressor”.

b Check of open phase

● With the connector between the compressor and the intelligent power module disconnected, activate the inverter and check if
the inverter is normal by measuring the balance of voltage between the terminals.

Output voltage is 50 - 130 V. (The voltage may differ according to the tester.)

<< Operation method(Test run operation)>>


1. Press EMERGENCY OPERATION switch to start COOL or HEAT mode (COOL: Press once, HEAT: Press twice).
2. Test run operation starts and continues to operate for 30 minutes.
3. Compressor operates at rated frequency in COOL mode or 74 Hz in HEAT mode.
4. Indoor fan operates at High speed.
5. After 30 minutes, test run operation finishes and EMERGENCY OPERATION starts (operation frequency of compressor varies).
6. To cancel test run operation (EMERGENCY OPERATION), press EMERGENCY OPERATION switch or any button on
remote controller.

<<Measurement point>>
At 3 points
BLK (U)-WHT (V) Measure AC voltage between the lead wires at 3 points.

NOTE: 1. Output voltage varies according to power supply voltage.


2. Measure the voltage by analog type tester.
3. During this check, LED of the inverter P.C. board flashes 9 times. (Refer to 11-6.3.)

There are two types ( Refer to (1) and (2)) of the terminal with locking mechanism.
The terminal without locking mechanism can be detached by pulling it out.
Check the shape of the terminal before detaching.

(1) Slide the sleeve and check if there is a locking lever or not. (2) The terminal with this connector has the
locking mechanism.
