This symbol indicates an action that must be taken, or an instruction.
The instruction is shown in the illustration or near the symbol.

1.1 Warnings and Cautions Regarding Safety of Workers

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

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.

vi
Safety Cautions SiBE041525F

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.

vii
SiBE041525F Safety Cautions

Caution
Conduct welding work in a well-ventilated place.
Using a welder in an enclosed room may cause oxygen deficiency.

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.

viii
Safety Cautions SiBE041525F

Warning
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.

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.

ix
SiBE041525F Icons Used

Caution
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 MΩ or higher.
Faulty insulation may cause an electrical shock.

Be sure to check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair.

1. Main Functions
1.1 Temperature Control
Definitions of The definitions of temperatures are classified as following.
Temperatures
 Room temperature: temperature of lower part of the room
 Set temperature: temperature set by remote controller
 Room thermistor temperature: temperature detected by room temperature thermistor
 Target temperature: temperature determined by microcomputer

Target temperature

Room thermistor temperature

Set temperature
Room temperature

(R12321)

Temperature The temperature of the room is detected by the room temperature thermistor. However, there is
Control a difference between the temperature detected by room temperature thermistor and the
temperature of lower part of the room, depending on the type of the indoor unit or installation
condition. Practically, the temperature control is done by the target temperature appropriately
adjusted for the indoor unit and the temperature detected by room temperature thermistor.

1.2 Frequency Principle

Control The frequency of the compressor is controlled by the following 2 parameters:
Parameters  The load condition of the operating indoor unit
 The difference between the room thermistor temperature and the target temperature

The target frequency is adapted by additional parameters in the following cases:

 Frequency restrictions
 Initial settings
 Forced cooling operation

Inverter Principle To regulate the capacity, a frequency control is needed. The inverter makes it possible to
control the rotation speed of the compressor. The following table explains the conversion
principle:
Phase Description
1 The supplied AC power source is converted into the DC power source for the present.
2 The DC power source is reconverted into the three phase AC power source with variable
frequency.
 When the frequency increases, the rotation speed of the compressor increases resulting
in an increase of refrigerant circulation. This leads to a larger amount of heat exchange
per unit.
 When the frequency decreases, the rotation speed of the compressor decreases
resulting in a decrease of refrigerant circulation. This leads to a smaller amount of heat
exchange per unit.

Inverter Features The inverter provides the following features:

 The regulating capacity can be changed according to the changes in the outdoor
temperature and cooling / heating load.
 Quick heating and quick cooling
The rotation speed of the compressor is increased when starting the heating (or cooling).
This enables to reach the set temperature quickly.
 Even during extreme cold weather, high capacity is achieved. It is maintained even when the
outdoor temperature is 2°C.
 Comfortable air conditioning
A fine adjustment is integrated to keep the room temperature constant.
 Energy saving heating and cooling
Once the set temperature is reached, the energy saving operation enables to maintain the
room temperature at low power.

Frequency Limits The following functions regulate the minimum and maximum frequency:

1.3 Airflow Direction Control

Power-Airflow The large flap sends a large volume of air downward to the floor and provides an optimum
Flap control in cooling, dry, and heating operation.

Cooling / Dry
During cooling or dry operation, the flap retracts into the indoor unit. Then, cool air can be blown
far and distributed all over the room.

Heating
During heating operation, the large flap directs airflow downward to spread the warm air to the
entire room.

Wide-Angle The louvers, made of elastic synthetic resin, provide a wide range of airflow that guarantees
Louvers comfortable air distribution.

Outline Program dry operation removes humidity while preventing the room temperature from lowering.
Since the microcomputer controls both the temperature and airflow rate, the temperature
adjustment and FAN setting buttons are inoperable.

Detail The microcomputer automatically sets the temperature and airflow rate. The difference between
the room thermistor temperature at start-up and the target temperature is divided into two
zones. Then, the unit operates in an appropriate capacity for each zone to maintain the

1.6 Automatic Operation

Outline Automatic Cooling / Heating Function
When the automatic operation is selected with the remote controller, the microcomputer
automatically determines the operation mode as cooling or heating according to the room
temperature and the set temperature at start-up.
The unit automatically switches the operation mode to maintain the room temperature at the set
temperature.

Detail Ts: set temperature (set by remote controller)

Tt: target temperature (determined by microcomputer)
Tr: room thermistor temperature (detected by room temperature thermistor)
C: correction value

1. The set temperature (Ts) determines the target temperature (Tt).

(Ts = 18 ~ 30°C).
2. The target temperature (Tt) is calculated as;
Tt = Ts + C
where C is the correction value.
C = 0°C
3. Thermostat ON/OFF point and operation mode switching point are as follows.
Tr means the room thermistor temperature.
(1) Heating → Cooling switching point:
Tr ≥ Tt + 3.0°C
(2) Cooling → Heating switching point:
Tr < Tt – 3.0°C
(3) Thermostat ON/OFF point is the same as the ON/OFF point of cooling or heating
operation.
4. During initial operation
Tr ≥ Ts : Cooling operation
Tr < Ts : Heating operation

5.7 Inverter Analyzer Check

Check No.15  Characteristics

Inverter analyzer: RSUK0917C

If an abnormal stop occurs due to compressor startup failure or overcurrent output when using
an inverter unit, it is difficult to judge whether the stop is caused by the compressor failure or
some other failure (main PCB, power module, etc.). The inverter analyzer makes it possible to
judge the cause of trouble easily and securely. (Connect an inverter analyzer as a quasi-
compressor instead of compressor and check the output of the inverter)

 Operation Method

Step 1
Be sure to turn the power off.

Step 2
Install an inverter analyzer instead of a compressor.

Note:
Make sure the charged voltage of the built-in smoothing electrolytic capacitor drops to 10
VDC or below before carrying out the service work.

(2) Connect the terminals to the

Reference:
If the terminals of the compressor are not FASTON terminals (difficult to remove the wire on
the terminals), it is possible to connect wires available on site to the outdoor unit from output
side of PCB. (Do not connect them to the compressor at the same time, otherwise it may
result in incorrect detection.)

(1) If all the LEDs are lit uniformly, the compressor is defective.
→ Replace the compressor.
(2) If the LEDs are not lit uniformly, check the power module.
→ Refer to Check No.22.
(3) If NG in Check No.22, replace the power module.
(Replace the main PCB. The power module is united with the main PCB.)
If OK in Check No.22, check if there is any solder cracking on the PCB.
(4) If any solder cracking is found, replace the PCB or repair the soldered section.
If there is no solder cracking, replace the PCB.

Caution
(1) When the output frequency is low, the LEDs blink slowly. As the output frequency increases,
the LEDs blink quicker. (The LEDs look like they are lit.)
(2) On completion of the inverter analyzer diagnosis, be sure to re-crimp the FASTON terminals.
Otherwise, the terminals may be burned due to loosening.
