2-3. CAUTIONS FOR REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK
New refrigerant R410A is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R410A is
same as for R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the
working pressure of R410A is 1.6 times higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.

1 Thickness of pipes
Because the working pressure of R410A is higher compared to R22, be sure to use refrigerant piping with thickness
shown below. (Never use pipes of 0.7 mm [7/256 inch] or below.)
Diagram below: Piping diameter and thickness
Nominal Outside Thickness : mm [inch]
dimensions[inch] diameter (mm) R410A R22

3/8 9.52 0.8 [1/32] 0.8 [1/32]
1/2 12.70 0.8 [1/32] 0.8 [1/32]
5/8 15.88 1.0 [5/128] 1.0 [5/128]
3/4 19.05 — 1.0 [5/128]

2 Dimensions of flare cutting and flare nut


The component molecules in HFC refrigerant are smaller compared to conventional refrigerants. In addition to that,
R410A is a refrigerant, which has higher risk of leakage because of its working pressure is higher than that of other
refrigerants. Therefore, to enhance air tightness and intensity, flare cutting dimension of copper pipe for R410A has
been specified separately from the dimensions for other refrigerants as shown below. The dimension B of flare nut for
R410A also has partly been changed to increase intensity as shown below. Set copper pipe correctly referring to cop-
per pipe flaring dimensions for R410A below. For 1/2 and 5/8 inch, the dimension B changes.
Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension.

CHARGELESS SYSTEM
PRE-CHARGED REFRIGERANT IS SUPPLIED FOR PIPING LENGTH AT SHIPMENT.
(Max. 100ft, 30m (A42) / Max. 70ft, 20m (A12-36))
The refrigerant circuit with LEV(Linear Expansion Valve) and accumulator always control the optimal refrigerant level
regardless of the length (A42: 100ft, 30m max. / A12-36: 70ft, 20m max. and 16ft, 5m min.) of piping. The additional
refrigerant charging work during installation often causes problems.
It is completely eliminated by chargeless system. This unique system improves the quality and reliability of the work done.
It also helps to speed up the installation time.

8-4. M-NET WIRING METHOD
(Points to note)
(1) Outside the unit, transmission wires should stay away from electric wires in order to prevent electromagnetic noise from
making an influence on the signal communication. Place them at intervals of more than 5 cm. Do not put them in the same
conduit tube.
(2) Terminal block (TB7) for transmission wires should never be connected to 208/230V power supply. If it is connected,
electronic parts on M-NET P.C. board may burn out.
(3) Use 2-core × 1.25mm² [AWG16] shield wire (CVVS, CPEVS) for the transmission wire. Transmission signals may not be
sent or received normally if different types of transmission wires are put together in the same multi-conductor cable. Never
do this because this may cause a malfunction.

It would be ok if M-NET wire (non-polar, 2-cores) is arranged in addition to the wiring for A-control.

(4) Ground only one of any appliances through M-NET transmission wire (shield wire). Communication error may occur due to
the influence of electromagnetic noise.
“Ed” error will appear on the LED display of outdoor unit.
“0403” error will appear on the central-control remote controller.

If there are more than 2 grounding spots on the shield wire, noise may enter into the shield wire because the ground wire
and shield wire form one circuit and the electric potential difference occurs due to the impedance difference among ground-
ing spots. In case of single spot grounding, noise does not enter into the shield wire because the ground wire and shield
wire do not form one circuit.

To avoid communication errors caused by noise, make sure to observe the single spot grounding method described in the
installation manual.

(3) In the system which several outdoor units are being connected, the terminal Transmission Shield
wire part
(A, B, S) on M-NET terminal block should be individually wired to the other
outdoor unit’s terminal, i.e. A to A, B to B and S to S. In this case, choose one of those outdoor units and drive a screw
to fix an ground wire on the plate as shown on the right figure.

8-4-1. M-NET address setting


In A-control models, M-NET address and refrigerant address should be set only for the outdoor unit. Similar to CITY MULTI
series, there is no need to set the address of outdoor unit and remote controller. To construct a central control system, the
setting of M-NET address should be conducted only upon the outdoor unit. The setting range should be 1 to 50 (the same as
that of the indoor unit in CITY MULTI system), and the address number should be consecutively set in a same group.

Address number can be set by using rotary switches <Setting example> M-NET Address No. 1 2 50

8-4-2. Refrigerant address setting
In case of multiple grouping system (multiple refrigerant circuits in one group), indoor units should be connected by remote
controller wiring (TB5) and the refrigerant address needs to be set. Leave the refrigerant addresses to “00” if the group set-
ting is not conducted. Set the refrigerant address by using DIP SW1-3 to -6 on the outdoor controller board. [Initial setting: all

1. Refrigerant recovering (pump down)
Perform the following procedures to recover the refrigerant when moving the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.
1 Turn on the power supply (circuit breaker).
wWhen power is supplied, make sure that “CENTRALLY CONTROLLED” is not displayed on the remote controller. If
“CENTRALLY CONTROLLED” is displayed, the refrigerant collecting (pump down) cannot be completed normally.
2 After the liquid stop valve is closed, set the SWP switch on the control board of the outdoor unit to ON. The compressor
(outdoor unit) and ventilators (indoor and outdoor units) start operating and refrigerant recovering operation begins. LED1
and LED2 on the control board of the outdoor unit are lit.
wSet the SWP switch (push-button type) to ON in order to perform refrigerant recovering operation only when the unit is
stopped. However, refrigerant recovering operation cannot be performed until compressor stops even if the unit is stopped.
Wait 3 minutes until compressor stops and set the SWP switch to ON again.
3 Because the unit automatically stops in about 2 to 3 minutes after the refrigerant recovering operation (LED1 is not lit and
LED2 is lit), be sure to quickly close the gas stop valve.
wIn case the outdoor unit is stopped when LED1 is lit and LED2 is not lit, open the liquid stop valve completely, and then
repeat step 2 3 minutes later.
wIf the refrigerant recovering operation has been completed normally (LED1 is not lit and LED2 is lit), the unit will remain
stopped until the power supply is turned off.
4 Turn off the power supply (circuit breaker.)

2. Start and finish of test run


• Operation from the indoor unit
Execute the test run using the installation manual for the indoor unit.
• Operation from the outdoor unit
By using the DIP switch SW4 on the control board of outdoor unit, test run can be started and finished, and its operation
mode (cooling/heating) can be set up.
1 Set the operation mode (cooling/heating) using SW4-2. <SW4>

10-2. CHECK POINT UNDER TEST RUN

(1) Before test run


• After installation of indoor and outdoor units, piping work and electric wiring work, re-check that there is no refrigerant leak-
age, loosened connections and incorrect polarity.
• Measure impedance between the ground and the power supply terminal block (L1, L2) on the outdoor unit by 500V Megger
and check that it is 1.0M" or over.
w Do not use 500V Megger to indoor/outdoor connecting wire terminal block (S1, S2, S3) and remote controller terminal
block (1, 2). This may cause malfunction.
• Make sure that test run switch (SW4) is set to OFF before turning on power supply.
• Turn on power supply 12 hours before test run in order to protect compressor.
• For specific models which requires higher ceiling settings or auto-recovery feature from power failure, make proper changes
of settings referring to the description of “12. FUNCTION SETTING”.
Make sure to read operation manual before test run. (Especially items to secure safety.)

Linear expansion valve is separable into the main body and the coil as shown in the diagram below.

Coil Main body

Lead wire Stopper

<How to detach the coil>

Hold the lower part of the main body (shown as A) firmly so that
the main body does not move and detach the coil by pulling it
upward.
Be sure to detach the coil holding main body firmly. Otherwise
pipes can bend due to pressure.

<How to attach the coil>

Hold the lower part of the main body (shown as A) firmly so that
the main body does not move and attach the coil by inserting it
downward into the main body. Then securely attach the coil stop-
per to pipe B. (At this time, be careful that stress is not added to
lead wire and main body is not wound by lead wire.) If the stop-
per is not firmly attached to pipe B, coil may be detached from
the main body and that can cause defective operation of linear
expansion valve.
To prevent piping stress, be sure to attach the coil holding the
main body of linear expansion valve firmly. Otherwise pipe may
break.

(1) When the error codes shown below are displayed on outdoor unit or microprocessor for wired remote controller or indoor
unit has a failure, but no other problems are found, emergency operation will be available by setting the emergency opera-
tion switch (SWE) to ON and short-circuiting the connector (CN31) on outdoor controller board.
LWhen following abnormalities occur, emergency operation will be available.
Error code Inspected content
U4 Open/short of pipe thermistor (TH3/TH6)
E8 Indoor/outdoor unit communication error •Signal receiving error (Outdoor unit)
E9 Indoor/outdoor unit communication error •Transmitting error (Indoor unit)
E0 ~ E7 Communication error other than outdoor unit
Ed Communicaiton error between outdoor controller board and M-NET board (Serial communication error)

(2) Check the following items and cautions for emergency operation
1 Make sure that there is no abnormality in outdoor unit other than the above abnormalities. (Emergency operation will not
be available when error codes other than the above are indicated.)
2 For emergency operation, it is necessary to set the emergency operation switch (SWE) on indoor controller board. Refer
to the electrical wiring diagram of indoor unit for how to set the indoor unit.)
3 During emergency operation, the air-conditioner will continuously be operated by supplying power and stopping it: It can
not be turned on or off by remote control, and temperature control is not possible.
4 Do not perform emergency heating operation for an extended period of time: If the outdoor unit starts defrosting during
this period, cold air will blow out from the indoor unit.
5 Do not perform emergency cooling operation for more than 10 hours: Neglecting this could result in freezing the heat
exchanger in indoor unit.
(3) Emergency operation procedure
1 Turn the main power supply off.
2 Turn on the emergency operation switch (SWE) on indoor controller board.
3 Set the shorting pins of emergency operation connector (CN31) on outdoor controller board to ON.

Special function
(a) Low-level sound priority mode (Local wiring)
Unit enters into Low-level sound priority mode by external signal input setting.
Inputting external signals to the outdoor unit decreases the outdoor unit operation sound 3 to 4 dB lower than that of usual.
Adding a commercial timer or on-off switch contactor setting to the CNDM connector which is optional contactor for demand
input located on the outdoor controller board enables to control compressor operation frequency.
W The performance depends on the load of conditioned outdoor temperature.
