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 310V) 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.

An inverter A/C operates using pulse signal control and high frequencies. Therefore, it is susceptible to the effects of external
noise, and is likely to cause electromagnetic interference with nearby wireless devices.
A noise filter is installed for ordinary use, preventing these problems. However, depending on the installation conditions, these
effects may still occur. Please pay attention to the points listed below.

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.
12-1-3. 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.

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.
38
12-3. Tools Specifically for R410A
For servicing, use the following tools for R410A
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, sizes of the service ports
and flare nuts of the narrow tube service valve and wide tube service valve have been altered.
NOTE For details on tubing installation procedures, refer to the installation manuals attached to the indoor
unit and outdoor unit.
39
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."
40
(5) Recharging Configuration and characteristics of cylinders
Be sure to charge the specified amount of Valve
refrigerant in liquid state using the service port
of the wide tube service valve. The proper
amount is listed on the unit's nameplate.
When the entire amount cannot be charged all at
once, charge gradually while operating the unit in
Cooling Operation.
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
Fig. 2
For the remaining refrigerant, refer to the
instructions of the refrigerant manufacturer.
If using a charging cylinder, transfer the specified
amount of liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant NO!

12-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking
CAUTION
Never attempt to charge additional refrigerant when refrigerant has been leaking
from the unit. Follow the procedure described below to locate points of leaks and
carry out repairs, then recharge the refrigerant.
(5) Evacuation
(5) Evacuation
Use a solenoid valve-installed vacuum pump so that
even if power is cut off in the middle of evacuation of air OK
due to a power interruption, the valve will prevent the
pump oil from flowing back.
The equipment may be damaged if moisture remains in

12-7. Charging Additional Refrigerant
12-7-1. When Tubes are Extended
Observe the proper amount of refrigerant as stated in this service manual or the installation manual that came
with the indoor unit. Charge additional refrigerant in liquid state only.
CAUTION
Never charge additional refrigerant if refrigerant is leaking from the unit. Follow
instructions given in "12-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking" and completely carry
out repairs. Only then should you recharge the refrigerant.

Special Remarks
‘‘DRY’’ ( ) Operation
How it works? • Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the unit’s
operation frequency is changed automatically.
• During DRY operation, the fan speed automatically runs at lower speed for
providing a comfortable breeze.
• ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the indoor temperature is 15 °C or less.
Heating ( ) Operation
Heating performance • Because this air conditioner heats a room by drawing in the heat of the
outside air (heat pump system), the heating efficiency will fall off when the
outdoor temperature is very low. If sufficient heat cannot be obtained with
this air conditioner, use another heating appliance together with it.
Defrosting • When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may form on the heat
exchanger coil, reducing heating performance. When this happens, a
microcomputer defrosting system operates. At the same time, the fan on
the indoor unit stops and the OPERATION lamp lights red and orange
alternately until defrosting is completed. Heating operation restarts after
several minutes. (This interval will vary slightly depending upon the
outdoor temperature and the way in which frost forms.)
Cold draft prevention • For several minutes after the start of heating operation, the indoor fan runs
at a lower speed until the indoor heat exchanger coil has warmed up
sufficiently. However, the fan may remain stopped when the room
temperature is low. This is because the COLD DRAFT PREVENTION
SYSTEM is in operation.
Cooling ( ) Operation • Sometimes the indoor unit may not get to the set fan speed such as LOW
and QUIET under cool operation at very low outdoor temperatures due to
the indoor unit being protected from ice or frost.
Power failure during • In the event of power failure, the unit will stop. When the power is
operation resumed, the unit will restart automatically within 5 minutes or 15 minutes
at M position of the S/M switch on AUTO mode by the remote control unit.
Clicking Sound
Clicking sound is heard from • In heating or cooling operation, any plastic parts may expand or shrink due
the air conditioner to a sudden temperature change. In this event, a clicking sound may occur.
This is normal, and the sound will soon disappear.
Remote Control Unit • The remote control unit sends the setting condition signals to the air
conditioner regularly at five minute intervals.
