Be sure to disconnect the power cable from the socket before


disassembling equipment for repair.
Working on equipment that is connected to the power supply may cause
an electrical shock.
If it is necessary to supply power to the equipment to conduct the repair or
inspect the circuits, do not touch any electrically charged sections of the
equipment.
If refrigerant gas is discharged during repair work, do not touch the
discharged refrigerant gas.
Refrigerant gas may cause frostbite.

When disconnecting the suction or discharge pipe of the


compressor at the welded section, evacuate the refrigerant gas
completely at a well-ventilated place first.
If there is gas remaining inside the compressor, the refrigerant gas or
refrigerating machine oil discharges when the pipe is disconnected, and it
may cause injury.
If refrigerant gas leaks during repair work, ventilate the area.
Refrigerant gas may generate toxic gases when it contacts flames.

Be sure to discharge the capacitor completely before conducting


repair work.
The step-up capacitor supplies high-voltage electricity to the electrical
components of the outdoor unit.
A charged capacitor may cause an electrical shock.

2 Introduction
SiME332106E Safety Cautions

Warning
Do not turn the air conditioner on or off by plugging in or
unplugging the power cable.
Plugging in or unplugging the power cable to operate the equipment may
cause an electrical shock or fire.

Be sure to wear a safety helmet, gloves, and a safety belt when


working in a high place (more than 2 m).
Insufficient safety measures may cause a fall.

In case of R-32 / R-410A refrigerant models, be sure to use pipes,


flare nuts and tools intended for the exclusive use with the R-32 /
R-410A refrigerant.
The use of materials for R-22 refrigerant models may cause a serious
accident, such as a damage of refrigerant cycle or equipment failure.

Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant (R-32 /
R-410A / R-22) in the refrigerant system.
If air enters the refrigerant system, an excessively high pressure results,
causing equipment damage and injury.

Caution
Do not repair electrical components with wet hands.
Working on the equipment with wet hands may cause an electrical shock.

Do not clean the air conditioner with water.


Washing the unit with water may cause an electrical shock.

Be sure to provide an earth / grounding when repairing the


equipment in a humid or wet place, to avoid electrical shocks.

Be sure to turn off the power switch and unplug the power cable
when cleaning the equipment.
The internal fan rotates at a high speed, and may cause injury.

Be sure to conduct repair work with appropriate tools.


The use of inappropriate tools may cause injury.

Be sure to check that the refrigerating cycle section has cooled


down enough before conducting repair work.
Working on the unit when the refrigerating cycle section is hot may cause
burns.

Conduct welding work in a well-ventilated place.


Using the welder in an enclosed room may cause oxygen deficiency.

Introduction 3
Safety Cautions SiME332106E

1.2 Warnings and Cautions Regarding Safety of Users


Warning
Do not store the equipment in a room with fire sources (e.g., naked
flames, gas appliances, electric heaters).

Be sure to use parts listed in the service parts list of the applicable
model and appropriate tools to conduct repair work. Never attempt
to modify the equipment.
The use of inappropriate parts or tools may cause an electrical shock,
excessive heat generation or fire.

If the power cable and lead wires are scratched or have deteriorated,
be sure to replace them.
Damaged cable and wires may cause an electrical shock, excessive heat
generation or fire.

Do not use a joined power cable or extension cable, or share the


same power outlet with other electrical appliances, since it may
cause an electrical shock, excessive heat generation or fire.

Be sure to use an exclusive power circuit for the equipment, and


follow the local technical standards related to the electrical
equipment, the internal wiring regulations, and the instruction
manual for installation when conducting electrical work.
Insufficient power circuit capacity and improper electrical work may cause
an electrical shock or fire.
Be sure to use the specified cable for wiring between the indoor and
outdoor units.
Make the connections securely and route the cable properly so that there
is no force pulling the cable at the connection terminals.
Improper connections may cause excessive heat generation or fire.

When wiring between the indoor and outdoor units, make sure that
the terminal cover does not lift off or dismount because of the cable.
If the cover is not mounted properly, the terminal connection section may
cause an electrical shock, excessive heat generation or fire.

Do not damage or modify the power cable.


Damaged or modified power cables may cause an electrical shock or fire.
Placing heavy items on the power cable, or heating or pulling the power
cable may damage it.

Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant (R-32 /
R-410A / R-22) in the refrigerant system.
If air enters the refrigerant system, an excessively high pressure results,
causing equipment damage and injury.

If the refrigerant gas leaks, be sure to locate the leaking point and
repair it before charging the refrigerant. After charging the
refrigerant, make sure that there is no leak.
If the leaking point cannot be located and the repair work must be
stopped, be sure to pump-down, and close the service valve, to prevent
refrigerant gas from leaking into the room. Refrigerant gas itself is
harmless, but it may generate toxic gases when it contacts flames, such
as those from fan type and other heaters, stoves and ranges.
When relocating the equipment, make sure that the new installation
site has sufficient strength to withstand the weight of the
equipment.
If the installation site does not have sufficient strength or the installation
work is not conducted securely, the equipment may fall and cause injury.

4 Introduction
SiME332106E Safety Cautions

Warning
Check to make sure that the power cable plug is not dirty or loose,
then insert the plug into a power outlet securely.
If the plug is dusty or has a loose connection, it may cause an electrical
shock or fire.

When replacing the coin battery in the remote controller, be sure to


dispose of the old battery to prevent children from swallowing it.
If a child swallows the coin battery, see a doctor immediately.

Caution
Installation of a leakage breaker is necessary in some cases
depending on the conditions of the installation site, to prevent
electrical shocks.

Do not install the equipment in a place where there is a possibility of


combustible gas leaks.
If combustible gas leaks and remains around the unit, it may cause a fire.

Check to see if parts and wires are mounted and connected


properly, and if connections at the soldered or crimped terminals
are secure.
Improper installation and connections may cause excessive heat
generation, fire or an electrical shock.
If the installation platform or frame has corroded, replace it.
A corroded installation platform or frame may cause the unit to fall,
resulting in injury.

Check the earth / grounding, and repair it if the equipment is not


properly earthed / grounded.
Improper earth / grounding may cause an electrical shock.

Be sure to measure insulation resistance after the repair, and make


sure that the resistance is 1 M or higher.
Faulty insulation may cause an electrical shock.

Be sure to check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair.
Faulty drainage may cause water to enter the room and wet the furniture
and floor.

Do not tilt the unit when removing it.


The water inside the unit may spill and wet the furniture and floor.

4. Startup Control
This control is used to equalize the pressure in the front and back of the compressor prior to the
startup of the compressor, thus reducing startup loads. Furthermore, the inverter is turned ON
to charge the capacitor.
To avoid stresses to the compressor due to oil return or else after the startup, the following
control is made and the position of the four way valve is also determined.

5.2 Compressor Control


In order to provide a steady capacity, the compressor capacity is controlled to achieve
temperature Te (or Tc) during cooling (or heating) operation.
During cooling (or heating) operation
The compressor capacity is controlled so Te (or Tc) approaches TeS (or TcS) (target value of
temperature).
1. VRTsmart Control
 When all the connected indoor units are VRTsmart control applicable models
Applicable models: FXFSQ-AR, FXDQ-PD, FXDQ-ND, FXMQ-PB, FXAQ-AR
The required capacity is calculated based on the operation condition of each individual indoor
unit and this data is transmitted to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit adjusts the refrigerant
temperature of the whole system to an adequate value according to the indoor unit that needs
the most capacity.

In case of target evaporation (or condensation) temperature adjustment, first the capacity is
adjusted by changing the indoor unit airflow to L tap. If the capacity is still too much, the target
evaporation (or condensation) temperature is elevated further to adjust.

2. VRT Control
 When one or more of the connected indoor units are not VRTsmart control applicable
models
If the required capacity becomes low (or high) in all indoor units (Room temperature Th1 - set
temperature), the target evaporation (or condensation) temperature is elevated further to adjust.
In the outdoor unit, the difference of temperature (∆T) in all indoor units is checked and the set
temperature is changed. Unlike VRTsmart control, there is no airflow control of the indoor units.

3. Te fix Control (for cooling)


The target evaporation temperature is not changed.

5.3 Compressor Capacity Control


Tc : High pressure equivalent saturation temperature
Te : Low pressure equivalent saturation temperature
Capacity steps
The compressor rotation speed is changed according to the control pressure.
 Cooling: suction pressure sensor value is converted into evaporation saturated temperature
(relation between pressure and evaporating temperature based on characteristics of
refrigerant R-410A). For detailed explanation refer to chapter field settings (Details of
Setting Mode (Mode 2) on page 122 and installation manual outdoor chapter Energy saving
and optimum operation).
 Initial selection is made between Automatic, Fixed or High sensible.
 During operation, the outdoor target evaporating temperature can be changed based on
the selected sub function, taking indoor load into account.
 Heating: discharge pressure sensor value is converted into condensing saturation
temperature.
 Initial selection is made between Automatic, Fixed, or High sensible.
 During operation, the outdoor target condensing temperature can be changed based on
the selected sub function, taking indoor load into account.
 The initial target saturated temperature can be changed. For details refer to Details of
Setting Mode (Mode 2) on page 122 for Cooling: Te set based on field setting 2-8, for
heating: Tc set based on field setting 2-9.
 During operation, outdoor control will take into account the pressure drop so that at indoor
units, the preset target temperature is reached (average). The estimated pressure drop is
calculated based on:
 Pressure drop characteristics found during test-operation outdoor (step 7). At several
evaporating temperatures, outdoor control stores difference between outdoor
evaporating temperature and average of indoor heat exchanger (indoor evaporating
temperature).
 To have judgment of gas speed in main suction pipe, control takes the capacity step of
the outdoor unit into account. In function of pressure drop characteristics at the different
compressor capacity steps, control concludes the category of system pipe lay out (long,
medium, short).
 Target Te outdoor (cooling) = Te set – estimated pressure drop – A.
 Target Tc outdoor (heating) = Tc set + estimated pressure drop + A.
 Correction factor A depends on the absolute value of the difference between indoor air inlet
temperature and a set temperature after startup period.

Regarding control target temperature


When using the infrared presence/floor sensor, the temperature around people will be treated
as the control target temperature for operation.

What is the temperature around people?


The temperature around people refers to the temperature of the living space, obtained from the
temperature around the ceiling and the temperature underfoot. The temperature is calculated
using the detected values of the suction air thermistor and the infrared presence/floor sensor.
It is difficult to use only suction air temperature control for underfoot air conditioning.

Control range of temperature around people


When the floor temperature is very low, operation using the temperature around people may
cause the suction air temperature to operate outside of use range.
To avoid the above condition, a limit based on the suction air temperature is set for the use
range of the temperature around people.
 Cooling operation
 When the floor temperature is lower than suction air thermistor detection temperature (R1T),
R1T will be treated as the control target temperature for operation.
 When the temperature around people is 15°C or lower, R1T will be treated as the control
temperature for operation.
 Heating operation
 When the floor temperature is higher than suction air thermistor detection temperature
(R1T), R1T will be treated as the control target temperature in operation.
 When the temperature around people is 33°C or higher, R1T will be treated as the control
temperature for operation.

8.10 Electronic Expansion Valve Control


Electronic expansion valves in indoor units have the functions of conducting superheating
degree control in cooling operation and subcooling degree control in heating operation.
However, if the indoor units receive any control command such as a protection control
command or a special control command from the outdoor unit, the units will give a priority to the
control command.

 Superheating degree control in cooling operation

This function is used to adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve so that
superheating degree (SH), which is calculated from the detection temperature (Tg) of the gas
pipe thermistor (R3T) and the detection temperature (Tl) of the liquid temperature thermistor
(R2T) of the indoor unit, will come close to a target superheating degree (SHS).
At that time, correction to the superheating degree is made according to the differences (T)
between set temperature and suction air temperature.

SH = Tg – Tl

Where,

SH: Evaporator outlet superheating degree (°C)


Tg: Indoor unit gas pipe temperature (R3T)
Tl: Indoor unit liquid pipe temperature (R2T)

SHS (Target superheating degree)


 Normally 5°C.
 As T (Remote controller set temp. – Suction air temp.) becomes larger, SHS becomes
lower.
 As T (Remote controller set temp. – Suction air temp.) becomes lower, SHS becomes
larger.

 Subcooling degree control in heating operation

This function is used to adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve so that the high
pressure equivalent saturated temperature (Tc), which is converted from the detected pressure
of the high pressure sensor in the outdoor unit, and the subcooling degree (SC), which is
calculated from the detected temperature (Tl) of the liquid temperature thermistor (R2T) in the
indoor unit, will come close to the target subcooling degree (SCS).
At that time, corrections to the subcooling degree are made according to differences (T)
between set temperature and suction air temperatures.

SC = Tc – Tl

Where,

SC: Condenser outlet subcooling degree (°C)


Tc: High pressure equivalent saturated temperature detected by the high pressure sensor
(S1NPH)
Tl: Indoor unit liquid pipe temperature (R2T)

SCS (Target subcooling degree)


 Normally 5°C.
 As T (Remote controller set temp. – Suction air temp.) becomes larger, SCS becomes
lower.
 As T (Remote controller set temp. – Suction air temp.) becomes lower, SCS becomes
larger.

1.4.11 Automatic Airflow Adjustment


Make external static pressure setting automatically using automatic airflow adjustment
(11 (21)-7), or manually using external static pressure settings (13 (23)-6).
The volume of blow-off air is automatically adjusted to the rated quantity.
Make settings before performing the test operation of the outdoor unit.
Setting procedure
1. Make sure that electric wiring and duct construction have been completed. In particular, if
the closing damper is installed on the way of the duct, make sure that it is open. In addition,
make sure that a field-supplied air filter is installed within the air passageway on the suction
port side.
2. If there are multiple blow-off and suction ports, adjust the throttle part so that the airflow
volume ratio of each suction/blow-off port conforms to the designed airflow volume ratio. In
that case, operate the unit with the operation mode "fan". When you want to change the
airflow rate, adjust it by pressing the airflow rate control button to select High, Middle or Low.
3. Make settings to adjust the airflow rate automatically. After setting the operation mode to
"fan", enter the field setting mode while operation is stopped and then select the Mode No.
"(21) (11 for batch setting)", set the First Code No. to 7 and the Second Code No. to 03. After
setting, return to the basic screen (to the normal mode in the case of a wireless remote
controller) and press the ON/OFF button. Fan operation for automatic airflow adjustment will
start with the operation lamp turned ON. Do not adjust the throttle part of the suction and
blow-off ports during automatic adjustment. After operation for approximately one to fifteen
minutes, airflow adjustment automatically stops with the operation lamp turned OFF.
4. After operation stopped, make sure that the Second Code No. is set to 02 as in the following
table by indoor unit with the Mode No. of (21). If operation does not stop automatically or the
Second Code No. is not set to 02, return to the step 3. above to make settings again.

03 Start of airflow adjustment

Note(s) 1. Make sure that the external static pressure is within the range of specifications before making
settings. If it is outside the range, automatic adjustment fails, which may cause an insufficient
airflow volume or leakage of water.
2. If the air passageway including duct or blow-off ports is changed after automatic adjustment,
make sure to perform automatic airflow adjustment again.

1.4.12 Compensating the Temperature around People


Change the ratio between the suction air temperature and floor temperature used to calculate
the temperature around people.
The temperature around people is calculated using the values of the suction air thermistor and
the infrared floor sensor. The factory setting is "Normal" (the average value of the suction air
temperature and the floor temperature is applied). However, the rate at which the suction air
thermistor and the infrared floor sensor affect the temperature around people can be changed
with this setting.
 To reflect the effect of the temperature around the ceiling, select the "Priorities given on the
suction air temperature" (the Second code No. 02).
 To reflect the effect of the temperature around the floor, select the "Priorities given on the
floor temperature" (the Second code No. 04).
 The infrared floor sensor can be disabled by selecting "Suction air temperature only" (the
Second code No. 01).

(factory setting), the units that were operating before the power failure will automatically restart
operation after power failure, or after the main power supply is restored.
Due to the aforementioned, when the "Auto restart after power failure” setting is ON, be careful
for the following situations that may occur.

1. The air conditioner will start operation suddenly after power failure,
Caution or when the main power supply is restored. The user might be surprised
and wonder why the air conditioner turned ON suddenly.
2. During maintenance, if the main power supply is turned OFF while the
units are in operation, the units will automatically start operation
(the fan will rotate) after the power supply is restored due to completion
of the maintenance work.

Part 5 Field Settings and Test Operation 121


Field Settings for Outdoor Unit SiME332106E

2.6.3 Details of Setting Mode (Mode 2)


 Mode 2-2: Low noise/demand address: address for low noise/demand operation.
 1 or more systems (maximum 10 systems wired by “F1F2 OUT/D”) can operate use the
LNO (Low Noise Operation) or/and the DE (Demand Control) by instruction of field
supplied input to optional board DTA104A61/62.
 To link the system to the corresponding DTA104A61/62, set the address same as the
DIP switches position on the related optional board DTA104A61/62.
 Ensure that also field setting 2-12-1 is set to enable input from optional board
DTA104A61/62.

 Mode 2-5: Cross wiring check.


 Default value: 0. Not active.
 Set 1: force all connected indoor units (except VKM) to operate the indoor fan on high
speed. This setting can be made to check which units are missing in the communication
if the number of indoor units do not correspond to the system lay out. Ensure that after
cross wiring check was confirmed, to return setting to default 2-5-0. Once setting 2-5-1 is
active, it is not automatically returning to default when exit mode 2.

 Mode 2-6: Forced thermostat ON command all connected indoor units.


 Default value: 0. Not active.
 Set 1: force all connected indoor units to operate under “Test” (forced thermostat ON
command to outdoor). Ensure that when the forced thermostat ON needs to be ended, to
return setting to default 2-6-0. Once setting 2-6-1 is active, it is not automatically
returning to default when exit mode 2.

 Mode 2-8: Te target temperature for cooling operation. Change the setting in function of
required operation method during cooling. (Mode 2-23 should be 1 or 3)
 Default value: 2 (Te target: 6°C). The refrigerant temperature is fixed to average indoor
evaporating temperature of 6°C, independent from the situation. It corresponds to the
standard operation which is known and can be expected from/under previous VRV
systems.
 Set 3-7: High Sensible. The refrigerant temperature is set higher/lower in cooling
compared to basic operation. The focus under high sensible mode is comfort feeling for
the customer. The selection method of indoor units is important and has to be considered
as the available capacity is not the same as under basic operation. Activate this setting
under cooling operation.
Mode 2-8 Te target
2 6°C (default)
3 7°C
4 8°C
5 9°C
6 10°C
7 11°C

 Mode 2-11: Eco level setting for Eco mode via External control adaptor (Optional).
Mode 2-11 Meaning Level
0 Inactive (default) —
Eco mode active by low noise

 Eco mode can be activated by short circuit the terminal on External control adaptor
(Optional) according to 2-11 setting. (2-23 should be “0”)
 This unit can operate with “Te fix control” and “Eco mode”.
 Eco mode means “VRT” & “VRTsmart” control
 If the terminal on external control adaptor is not connected by short circuit and 2-11 is not
0, the system operates according to 2-8 setting.

122 Part 5 Field Settings and Test Operation


SiME332106E Field Settings for Outdoor Unit

 Mode 2-12: Enable input “DTA104A61/62”: enable the low noise function and/or power
consumption limitation. If the system needs to be running under low noise operation or under
power consumption limitation conditions when an external signal is sent to the unit, this
setting should be changed. This setting will only be effective when the optional external
control adaptor for outdoor unit (DTA104A61/62) is installed and the address set by DIP
switches on DTA104A61/62 corresponds to the address set on the outdoor unit(s) – set 2-.
 Default value: 0.
 To enable input from DTA104A61/62, change the item 2-12 to 1.

 Mode 2-13: AIRNET address.


 When an AIRNET system will be used, outdoor unit needs an AIRNET address.
 Also to facilitate the recognition of a system in the map lay out of the service checker type
III, set each system a unique address between 1 and 63.
 When duplicating of AIRNET address, UC error code will appear on central control.

 Mode 2-18: Fan high external static pressure mode setting


 Fan revolutions will be adjusted automatically according to external static pressure.
 Default value: 0. Judge external static pressure level during operation check and every
cooling restart standby.
 Set 1: Judge external static pressure level during operation check.
 Set 2-4: Forced external static pressure level 0-2.

 Mode 2-21: Refrigerant recovery / vacuuming.


 Default value: 0. Recovery mode not active.
 Set 1: outdoor and indoor electronic expansion valves are opened fully (except EV3 for
PCM vessel). Compressor(s) do not operate.
 All controllers show “Test” and LED operation-ON, but indoor and outdoor fan do not
operate.
 Outdoor segment display indicates t01.
 By opening indoor and outdoor electronic expansion valves there is a free pathway to
reclaim remaining refrigerant out by using a refrigerant recovery unit to a refrigerant
recovery bottle.
 Prior to launch the recovery mode, ensure:
 To vacuum all lines between service hoses – refrigerant recovery unit and recovery
bottle.
 Weight the refrigerant recovery bottle to know recovered amount when refrigerant
recovery function is terminated.
 To end the refrigerant recovery mode, press BS3 button once. The 7 segment display
returns to normal (all off).

 Mode 2-22: Selection automatic night-time low noise operation level. The outdoor can
switch automatically to a pre-set night-time low noise operation level during night-time
judgment.
 Default value: 0. Auto night-time low noise operation not active.
 Set 1: use level 1.
 Set 2: use level 2.
 Set 3: use level 3.
 Set period: refer to set the item 2-26 for start time and the item 2-27 for end time.

 Mode 2-23: Eco mode invalid setting


 Eco mode becomes invalid by this setting.

Field Settings for Outdoor Unit SiME332106E

 Mode 2-25: Night-time low noise operation level when using external input to optional board
DTA104A61/62.
 If the system needs to be running under low noise operation conditions when an external
signal is sent to the unit, this setting defines the level of low noise that will be applied.
 This setting will only be effective when the optional external control adaptor for outdoor
unit DTA104A61/62 is installed and the setting is enabled (mode 2-12-1).
 When night-time low noise operation is actually performed, conditions can be checked
via mode 1-1.
 The night-time low noise operation will not be performed in one of following conditions:
 Startup of system, or
 During oil return, or
 30 minutes after external input opened, or
 Capacity priority setting is active (refer to mode 2-29-1) and limit condition is met.
 Default value: 2 (level 2)
 Night-time low noise operation level can be selected to 1, 2, or 3 (field setting 2-25-1, 2,
3).

 Mode 2-26: Start time automatic night-time low noise operation. When the auto
night-time low noise operation is active (refer to field setting 2-22) outdoor will start when
start time is reached. The time judgment is taken from outdoor air tendency.

 Field setting 1: 8:00 PM, 3: 12:00 AM (midnight).

 Mode 2-27: Stop time automatic night-time low noise operation. When the auto
night-time low noise operation is active (refer to field setting 2-22), outdoor unit will stop the
night-time low noise operation level automatically when stop time is reached.
 Default value: 3 (8:00 AM)
 Field setting 1: 6:00 AM, 2: 7:00 AM

 Mode 2-28: Power transistor check mode. To evaluate the output of the power transistors.
Use this function in case error code is displayed related to defective inverter PCB or
compressor is locked.
 Default value: 0. Power transistor check mode is not active.
 Field setting 1: Power transistor check mode is active.
 Function:
 Inverter circuit gives output of 10 rps in sequence by all 6 transistors. Remove the
U/V/W terminals of the compressor, and connect to the inverter checker module. If all
6 LEDs blink, the transistors switch correctly.
 When the power transistor check mode is set back to 0 (default), after turning off the
power supply, 2 LEDs will light up to indicate discharge of the DC voltage.

SiME332106E Field Settings for Outdoor Unit

 Wait until the LEDs are OFF before returning fasten terminals back to the compressor
terminals.
 Minimum requirements to refer to the result on the inverter checker module:
 Line (for RXYMQ4AVMK) or all 3 phases (for RXYMQ4-6AYFK) and neutral are
available, and
 Inverter circuit is active. Check if the green LED “HBP” on the main PCB (for
RXYMQ4AVMK) or "HAP" on the inverter PCB (for RXYMQ4-6AYFK) is blinking
normally (approximately 1/second). If LED is OFF, need to exit the “standby mode” of
the inverter:
 Disconnect and reconnect power supply control PCB, or
 Forced thermostat ON condition, or
 Make shortly set 2-6-1 (forced thermostat ON indoor), or
 2-20-1 (manual refrigerant charge).
 Once the LED is blinking on the PCB, change related setting immediately back to set
0 to deactivate related function.
 Diode module generates the required 300 VDC (for RXYMQ4AVMK) or 500 VDC (for
RXYMQ4-6AYFK).
 Cautions:
 To stop the power transistor check mode, change setting to default 2-28-0.
 Output to U/V/W will also stop when outdoor unit main PCB decides standby mode of
inverter circuit.
 Below time graphs show the different steps during the power transistor check mode.

Test Operation SiME332106E

3.3 Test Operation Procedure


To start smoothly, a crankcase heater is equipped to the unit. To power up the crankcase heater
in advance, be sure to turn on the power supply 6 hours before operation.

Warning Be sure to inform other installers or attach the front panel well before leaving with the power
supply turned on for the outdoor unit.

Before powering ON
 Protect the electronic components with insulating tape in accordance with the Service
Precautions label attached to the front panel.
 All indoor units connected with the outdoor unit will operate automatically after powering on.
To ensure safety, check the indoor unit installation has been completed.

Powering On to Test Operation


 Make sure to perform a test operation first after installation (If the unit is operated with the
indoor unit’s remote controller without performing a test operation, the error code U3 will be
displayed on the remote controller and the unit will not operate normally).
 After turning on the power supply, do not touch any switches excluding push button switches
and DIP switches when setting the outdoor unit PCB (A1P).
(For positions of the button switches (BS1~3) and DIP switches (DS1, 2) on the PCB, refer
to the Service Precautions label)

Servicing Items to be Confirmed SiME332106E

1. Servicing Items to be Confirmed


1.1 Troubleshooting
1. Initial verification and troubleshooting
(1) Properly understand the end user's needs and issues.
(2) Check the cause of errors according to the description provided by the end user.
(3) Check if the remote controller displays any error codes.
(Or use the outdoor unit monitor mode to check for errors).
If there is no display of error codes, refer to Symptom-Based Troubleshooting on page
144 for diagnosis.
If an error code is displayed, refer to troubleshooting flowchart for diagnosis.

2. Take appropriate measures.


(1) Repair the defect or replace the parts according to the troubleshooting results.
(2) Turn off the power supply for 10 minutes before disassembling.
(3) The refrigerant has to be collected before refrigerant system components are replaced.

3. Verification after taking appropriate measures


(1) Run the unit after repairing the defect to confirm normal unit operation.
(2) Record the check results and inform the client.

1.2 Precautions for Maintenance


Pay attention to the following matters in servicing.

1. Precaution for maintenance


Touch the paint-free metal part of the product (electrical box lid of the standard model; tap
bolts of electrical box of anti-corrosion and heavy anti-corrosion models) to release static
electricity before starting work.

2. Precautions for maintaining the service cover


After maintenance, make sure to close the service cover.
(Otherwise, leakage of water or contamination by foreign matter may cause defects)

3. Precautions for maintaining the electrical box


(1) Turn off the power for 10 minutes before opening the cover of the electrical box.
(2) After opening the cover, use the tester to measure the terminal voltage of the power
supply terminal to make sure that the power has been cut.
Then check if the circuit capacitor voltage is under 50 VDC.
(3) To avoid PCB defects, touch the earth terminal of the electrical box with your hand when
unplugging the connector to release static electricity.
(4) Unplug the connector X106A (RXYMQ4AVMK) or X1A (RXYMQ4-6AYFK) of the outdoor
fan motor.
When unplugging the connectors, do not touch the live parts.
(When the outdoor fan is rotating because of strong wind, there is a risk of electric shock
due to main circuit board capacitor power storage.)
(5) After maintenance, reconnect the connectors of the outdoor fan in their original positions.
Otherwise, the remote controller will display error code E7, preventing normal operation.

4. Precautions for piping work and refrigerant charging:


This unit uses R-410A refrigerant. Pay attention to the following conditions.
(1) The charging pipe and the manifold tube use R-410A products for pressure maintenance
and avoiding contamination by impurities (SUNISO oil, etc.).
(2) Be sure to purge with nitrogen when brazing.
(3) Properly perform airtightness test and vacuum drying. (Airtight test pressure: 4.0 MPa)
(4) Charge refrigerant in liquid state.

5. Precautions for operating in servicing mode (field setting):


When a test operation is interrupted or after exiting service mode, please wait for at least one

6.4 Power Transistor Check


CHECK 4 RXYMQ4AVMK
Use a multimeter to measure the resistance to determine if the power transistor is defective or
not.
1. Do not touch live parts (high voltage parts) within 10 minutes after turning off the power
supply.
2. Touch the earth terminal with your hand to release static electricity. (This is to avoid
damaging the PCB.)
3. Use a multimeter to measure the C+ and C- on the PCB to make sure that the residual
voltage of the power transistor is under 50 VDC.

4. After verifying the residual voltage, pull out the outdoor fan motor connector.
If a strong wind causes the outdoor fan to rotate, the capacitor may store electricity.
Therefore, make sure that the fan is still and then pull out the outdoor fan motor connector.
5. Disconnect the connection wire between the power transistor and the compressor.
Remove the connection wire from the compressor.
At this point, make sure that there is no deformation of the Faston terminal at the front end of
the connection wire.
6. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance listed in the table.
Among the three phases listed in the table, if there is one phase with unbalanced resistance
(with a value five times higher than the other values), then the power transistor is defective.
When normal, all phases have the same resistance value.

6.5 Refrigerant Overcharge Check


CHECK 6 In case of VRV Systems, the only way to judge as the overcharge of refrigerant is with operating
conditions due to the relationship to pressure control and electronic expansion valve control.
As information for making a judgment, refer to the information below.

Diagnosis of refrigerant overcharge


1. High pressure rises. Consequently, overload control is conducted to cause insufficient
cooling capacity.
2. The superheating degree of suction gas lowers (or wet operation is performed).
Consequently, the compressor becomes lower in discharge pipe temperature despite of
pressure loads.
3. The subcooling degree of condensate rises. Consequently, in heating, the temperature of
discharge air through the subcooled section decreases.

6.7 Vacuuming and Dehydration Procedure


CHECK 8 Conduct vacuuming and dehydration in the piping system following the procedure for Normal
vacuuming and dehydration described below.
Furthermore, if moisture may get mixed in the piping system, follow the procedure for Special
vacuuming and dehydration described below.

Normal vacuuming and dehydration


1. Vacuuming and dehydration
 Use a vacuum pump that enables vacuuming up to –100.7 kPaG (5 Torr, –755 mmHgG).
 Connect manifold gauges to the service ports of liquid pipe and gas pipe and run the
vacuum pump for a period of two or more hours to conduct evacuation to –100.7 kPaG or
less.
 If the degree of vacuum does not reach –100.7 kPaG or less even though evacuation is
conducted for a period of two hours, moisture will have entered the system or refrigerant
leakage will have been caused. In this case, conduct evacuation for a period of another
one hour.
 If the degree of vacuum does not reach –100.7 kPaG or less even though evacuation is
conducted for a period of three hours, conduct the leak tests.
2. Leaving in vacuum state
 Leave the compressor at the degree of vacuum of –100.7 kPaG or less for a period of
one hour or more, and then check to be sure that the vacuum gauge reading does not
rise. (If the reading rises, moisture may have remained in the system or refrigerant
leakage may have been caused.)
3. Additional refrigerant charge
 Purge air from the manifold gauge connection hoses, and then charge a necessary
amount of refrigerant.

Special vacuuming and dehydration


Use this procedure if moisture may get into the piping, such as construction during the rainy
season (dew condensation may occur, or rainwater may enter the piping during construction
work).
1. Vacuuming and dehydration
 Follow the same procedure as that for Normal vacuuming and dehydration described
above.
2. Vacuum break
 Pressurize with nitrogen gas up to 0.05 MPaG.
3. Vacuuming and dehydration
 Conduct vacuuming and dehydration for a period of one hour or more. If the degree of
vacuum does not reach –100.7 kPaG or less even though evacuation is conducted for a
period of two hours or more, repeat vacuum break - vacuuming and dehydration.
4. Leaving in vacuum state
 Leave the compressor at the degree of vacuum of –100.7 kPaG or less for a period of
one hour or more, and then check to be sure that the vacuum gauge reading does not
rise.
5. Additional refrigerant charge
 Purge air from the manifold gauge connection hoses, and then charge a necessary
amount of refrigerant.

6.10 Broken Wire Check of the Relay Wires


CHECK 15 Procedure for checking indoor-outdoor unit transmission wiring for broken wires
Turn OFF the power supply to all equipment, short circuit between the indoor-outdoor unit
terminal F1 and F2 in outdoor unit, and then conduct continuity checks between the
transmission wiring F1 and F2 of "Indoor Unit a" farthest from outdoor unit using a multimeter. If
there is continuity between the transmission wiring, the indoor-outdoor unit transmission wiring
has no broken wires in it.
If there is no continuity, the transmission wiring may have broken wires. With the indoor-outdoor
unit terminal of outdoor unit short circuited, identify the areas with continuity in the transmission
wiring of "Indoor Unit b", transmission wiring of "Indoor Unit c", and transmission wiring of
"Indoor Unit d" in the order described.
If the areas with continuity can be identified, there may be broken wires in places before those
areas.
