Safety Cautions SiBE041434E
Caution
Use the welder in a well-ventilated place.
Using the welder in an enclosed room may cause oxygen deficiency.
Work procedure
Work shall be conducted under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of working in
the presence of R-32 or vapour.
No ignition sources
During work on a refrigeration system which involves exposing any piping work that contains or
has contained R-32, any sources of ignition shall not be used in a manner that may lead to the
risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be
kept at a safe distance from the site of installation, repairing, or removing space. Before starting
work, the area around the equipment shall be examined to make sure that there are no
flammable hazard or ignition risks. No Smoking signs shall be displayed.
Ventilated area
Ensure that the working area is open or that it is adequately ventilated before work.
Adequate ventilation shall be maintained during the entire period of work.
The ventilation should disperse any released refrigerant and preferably discharge it into the
external atmosphere.
vii
SiBE041434E Safety Cautions
Wiring
Check that wiring is not subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges
or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of
ageing or continuous vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
viii
Safety Cautions SiBE041434E
Detecting of R-32
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the search for or detection
of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents
containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode
the copper piping work.
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed or extinguished.
If a refrigerant leakage which requires brazing is found, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered
from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from
the point of the leakage. Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the system
both before and during the brazing process.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and that there is
ventilation available.
Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be met.
Ensure that the charging equipment to be used is not contaminated by different refrigerants.
Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in
them.
• Cylinders shall be kept upright.
• Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed before charging the system with refrigerant.
• Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
• Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
Before recharging, the system shall be tested for leakage with OFN. On completion of charging,
the system shall be tested before commissioning. Follow up leakage test shall be carried out
before leaving the site.
ix
SiBE041434E Safety Cautions
Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with
the equipment and all its details. It is recommended to train technicians so that all of the
refrigerant is recovered safely. In case analysis is required before re-using the reclaimed
refrigerant, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken before proceeding with
decommissioning. It is essential that electrical power is available before work.
a) Comprehend the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate the system electrically.
c) Before starting work, ensure that:
• mechanical handling equipment is available if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders;
• protective equipment can be used in compliance with specifications;
• the recovery process is supervised by a competent person at all times;
• recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down the refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If vacuum can not be ensured, apply a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from
various parts of the system.
f) Make sure that the cylinder is situated on the scale before recovery takes place.
g) Start the refrigerant recovery device and operate it in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (Do not exceed 80% liquid charge volume).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process is completed, make sure
that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all valves on the
equipment are closed.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system before it has
been cleaned and checked.
Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant.
The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the
equipment contains R-32.
Refrigerant recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is
recommended to conduct training so that all refrigerants can be removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery
cylinders are used.
Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge are available. All
cylinders to be used must be designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that
refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be equipped
with a pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. If possible,
empty recovery cylinders shall be cooled in a separate place before recovery is conducted.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with instructions concerning the
equipment at hand, and shall be suitable for the recovery of R-32. In addition, a set of calibrated
weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be equipped with
leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery device, check
that it has undergone proper maintenance, that it is in satisfactory working order, and that any
associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant
leakage. Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery
cylinder, with the relevant Waste Transfer Note attached. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery
units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oil are to be removed, ensure that the refrigerant melted into the
oil has been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that R-32 does not remain within
the oil. The evacuation process shall be carried out before returning the compressor to the
supplier. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this
process. Oil drained from the system shall be treated safely.

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
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.
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 inverter 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.

<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.
Auto-Swing The following table explains the auto-swing process for cooling, dry, heating, and fan:

*The upper limit is M tap for 30 minutes from the operation start.
<Heating>
In heating operation, the fan speed is regulated according to the indoor heat exchanger
temperature and the difference between the room thermistor temperature and the target
temperature.
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
temperature and humidity at a comfortable level.

2. Function of Thermistor
Electronic
expansion valve
(1) (3)
(1) Outdoor Heat 1. The outdoor heat exchanger thermistor is used for controlling the target discharge pipe
Exchanger temperature. The system sets the target discharge pipe temperature according to the
Thermistor outdoor and indoor heat exchanger temperature, and controls the electronic expansion valve
opening so that the target discharge pipe temperature can be obtained.
2. In cooling operation, the outdoor heat exchanger thermistor is used for detecting the
disconnection of the discharge pipe thermistor. When the discharge pipe temperature drops
below the outdoor heat exchanger temperature by more than a certain value, the discharge
pipe thermistor is judged as disconnected.
3. In cooling operation, the outdoor heat exchanger thermistor is used for high pressure
protection.
(2) Discharge 1. The discharge pipe thermistor is used for controlling discharge pipe temperature. If the
Pipe Thermistor discharge pipe temperature (used in place of the inner temperature of the compressor) rises
abnormally, the operating frequency becomes lower or the operation halts.
2. The discharge pipe thermistor is used for detecting disconnection of the discharge pipe
thermistor.
(3) Indoor Heat 1. The indoor heat exchanger thermistor is used for controlling the target discharge pipe
Exchanger temperature. The system sets the target discharge pipe temperature according to the
Thermistor outdoor and indoor heat exchanger temperature, and controls the electronic expansion valve
opening so that the target discharge pipe temperature can be obtained.
2. In cooling operation, the indoor heat exchanger thermistor is used for freeze-up protection
control. If the indoor heat exchanger temperature drops abnormally, the operating frequency
becomes lower or the operation halts.
3. In heating operation, the indoor heat exchanger thermistor is used for detecting the
disconnection of the discharge pipe thermistor. When the discharge pipe temperature drops
below the indoor heat exchanger temperature by more than a certain value, the discharge
pipe thermistor is judged as disconnected.

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
(1) Remove the terminals from terminals of the inverter

Compressor
Inverter analyzer
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.)
Step 3
Activate power transistor test operation from the indoor unit.
(1) Turn the power on.
(2) Select FAN operation with the Mode button on the remote controller.
(3) Press the center of the Temp button and the Mode button at the same time.
(4) Select T with the Temp or Temp button.
(5) Press the Mode button to start the power transistor test operation.
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.
