• The precautionary items here are divided into " Warning" and " Caution" items.
Items in particular which may cause death or serious injury to the service personnel if the work is not performed correctly,
are included in the " Warning" table.
However, even precautionary items identified as " Caution" also have the potential for serious consequences
if not performed correctly.
Important safety precautions are described for all items in both categories. Be sure to carefully follow all of them.
• Symbol Indication
: This symbol indicates items to which we need to pay attention.
In this triangle, a definite precautionary item is described.
: This symbol indicates the item to be prohibited.
In or close to this circle, a prohibited item is described.
: This symbol indicates the items requiring special attention or instruction.
In or close to this circle, a prohibited item is described.
• After doing repair work, perform a test run to confirm that there are no abnormalities.
At the same time, explain the precautions in use to the user.
Warning
Before performing an overhaul, disconnect the power plug or power cable from the unit.
Performing the work with the power supplied to the unit, may cause an electric shock.
When repair work or circuit inspection that requires power supply for the air conditioner, is to be performed,
do not touch the charging section.
Doing so may cause an electric shock.
Prohibit
For the step-up capacitor attached to the electric section, perform the repair work after sufficiently discharging it.
Insufficient capacitor discharge may cause an electric shock.
Do not perform repair work on the electric sections with wet hands.
Doing so may cause an electric shock.
Prohibit
Do not start or stop the air conditioner by means of connecting or disconnecting the power plug.
Doing so may cause an electric shock or fire.
Prohibit
When conducting repair work only use components included in the parts list for the corresponding unit and perform
the work with the appropriate tools.
Incorrect or poor repair work may cause an electric shock or fire.
Never modify the unit.
Doing so may cause an electric shock or fire.
Prohibit
Perform all electric work according to local applicable regulations related to electrical equipment or interior wiring
regulation and make sure to use the exclusive circuit.
Insufficient capacity to the electric circuit or defective arrangement results may cause an electric shock or fire.
Make sure to replace any power cable or lead wire showing any signs of scratch or deterioration.
Failure to do so may cause an electric shock, overheating or fire.
Make sure that there is no dust on or slack in the power plug and insert fully into the socket.
Dust or incomplete connections may cause an electric shock or fire.
Do not damage or process the power cord, as it may cause an electric shock or fire.
Prohibit
For the wiring between the indoor unit and outdoor unit, securely fix the specified cable onto the terminal plate.
Poorly fixed wiring may cause a heat or fire.
After connecting the wiring between the indoor unit and outdoor unit, attach the terminal cover securely.
Incomplete attachment of the terminal cover may cause overheating or fire.

Warning
If refrigerant gas blows off during the work, do not touch the refrigerant gas as it may cause frostbite.
Prohibit
If refrigerant gas leaks during the work, ventilate the room.
If refrigerant gas catches fire, harmful gas may be generated.
Do not mix any gas other than the specified refrigerant gas in the refrigerating cycle.
If air or other contaminants mix with the gas, pressure will become extremely high in the refrigerating cycle,
which may cause a unit breakdown."
Prohibit
When the welded section of the compressor intake or discharge pipe is to be disconnected, perform it in
a well-ventilated place after sufficiently recovering the refrigerant gas.
Any residue gas may jet out refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, which may cause an injury.
When the work is to be performed in a high place (About 2 meters or more), make sure to wear a safety helmet,
gloves and safety belt. Insufficient safety gear may cause a serious injury in case of a fall.
When the unit is to be relocated, confirm that the new installation location has sufficient strength for the weight of the unit.
Insufficient strength of the installation location and incomplete installation work may cause an injury due to
the unit falling.
When the remote controller batteries are replaced, dispose of the old batteries out of the reach of children.
If a child swallows a battery, make sure that the child gets immediate medical attention.
Caution
Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this may cause an electric shock or fire.
Prohibit
For the repair work in places with high humidity or moisture, make sure to ground the unit.
Failure to do so may cause an electric shock.
Confirm that the component attachment position, wiring condition, soldering condition and connector connection
are normal.
If not, it may cause overheating or fire.
Confirm that the temperature around the compressor is not too high, and then perform the repair work.
Failure to do so may cause a burn.
Perform welding work in a place with good ventilation.
If the work is performed in a poorly ventilated area, it might cause a lack of oxygen.
If the installation plate or attachment frame has deteriorated due to corrosion, etc., replace it.
Failure to do so may cause an injury due to the unit falling.
When the cleaning is to be performed, make sure to turn off the power and pull out the plug.
Touching the fan that is rotating at high speed may result in an injury.
When the indoor unit is to be removed, do not place it on an incline.
Doing so may cause wet furniture because water left inside may trickle down.
Prohibit
Do not hold the sharp end of the unit or the aluminum fins, as it may cause an injury to your hand or finger.
Prohibit
After repairs, make sure to measure the insulation resistance and confirm that the value is 1 Mohm or more.
Any insulation error may cause an electric shock.
After repairs, make sure to check the drainage of the indoor unit.
Inappropriate drainage may cause wet furniture and floors due to water leakage.

7. FUNCTIONS
7-1. Operation Functions
Emergency operation
SENSOR DRY
Emergency operation is available when the remote
controller malfunctions, has been lost, or otherwise
cannot be used.
During DRY operation, the system adjusts the room
temperature and fan speed according to the conditions in the
room, in order to maintain a comfortable room environment.
To operate the system, press the OPERATION button,
which is also used as the receiver, below the unit display.
Each time this button is pressed, the OPERATION lamp
changes color to indicate the type of operation. Select the
desired type of operation.
COOL
HEAT
STOP
(GREEN)
(RED)
(Lamp Off)
SENSOR DRY operation
DRY operation is as shown in the figure below.
Load
COOL zone
A zone
B zone
The set temperature is 4°F(2°C) below the detected room
temperature in the case of cooling operation, and 4°F(2°C)
above the room temperature in the case of heating
operation. The flap and fan speed settings are AUTO.
Conditions are monitored at all
times when the room temperature
is below 59°F(15°C).
DRY A
The compressor operation frequency varies.
The indoor fan operates with 1/f fluctuation.
Auto Initial Operation Mode Selection
Selecting the operation mode
DRY B
When AUTO mode is selected, the microprocessor calculates
the difference between the set temperature and the room
temperature, and automatically switches to Cooling or Heating
mode.
Room temp. Set temp. COOL
Room temp. Set temp. HEAT
The compressor operates at a low operating frequency.
The indoor fan operates with 1/f fluctuation.
Monitor
Monitoring operation takes place when the room temperature
is below 59°F(15°C), or more than 5°F(3°C) below the set
temperature.
When the monitoring range is entered, the compressor stops,
and the indoor fan operates with 1/f fluctuation.
Once the mode is selected based on this function, the unit will
continuously operate at the same mode as initially selected.
NOTE
When multiple indoor units are used and units in other rooms are
already operating, they will be set to the same mode of operation
as the operating indoor units.
PAM-
control
In order to further improve inverter performance, control is
switched between PWM control at low operation speeds, and
PAM control at high operation speeds, making the most
effective use of power.
32
HIGH POWER
NIGHT SETBACK
This function acts to raise the power but keeps the AC system in
the same operating mode.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING (BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE)
8-1. 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.
8-2. Method of Self-Diagnostics
< Clock display >
Follow the procedure below to perform detailed trouble diagnostics.
Test run mode
Self-diagnostics mode
NOTE
1: If the operation lamp blinks every 0.5 seconds immediately when the
power is turned ON, there is an external ROM (OTP data) failure on the
indoor circuit board, or a ROM socket insertion problem, or the ROM
has not been installed.
2: The failure mode is stored in memory even when the power is not ON.
Follow the procedure below to perform diagnostics.
PROCEDURE
After turning on power to the air conditioner, use the remote controller and
follow the steps below to execute self-diagnostics.
Step 1: Press and hold the remote controller QUIET button and 1 HR
TIMER button. At the same time, press the ACL (reset) button. Use
a pointed object such as the tip of a pen to press the ACL button.
When this has been done, "oP-1" (test run) appears, blinking, in
the remote controller clock display area.
Step 2: Next, press the 1 HR TIMER button once to change the display
from "oP-1" to "oP-3" (self-diagnostics). (The display continues to
blink.)
Step 3: Finally press the ON/OFF button to engage self-diagnostics mode.
• The self-diagnostics function utilizes the 3 indicator lamps on the main
unit, in combinations of ON lamps, blinking lamps, and OFF lamps, to
report the existence of sensor trouble or a protective operation. (The
lamps blink or remain ON for 5 seconds, then turn OFF for 2 seconds.)
Self-diagnostics is completed when the buzzer sounds 3 short beeps.
• A maximum of 3 self-diagnostics reports are displayed, for 5 seconds
each, beginning with the most recent report. Following this display the
lamps turn OFF. In order to view the self-diagnostics results again, press
the ON/OFF button again.
• The 3 lamps remain OFF if no trouble has occurred.
<IMPORTANT> After self-diagnostics is completed, be sure to press the
ACL (reset) button to return to normal mode. The air
conditioner will not operate if this is not done.

Control
Use the remote controller to operate the
unit in "TEST run" mode. To determine
whether the mode is currently in
"TEST run" mode, check the 4 indicator
lamps on the unit. If all 4 are blinking,
the current mode is "TEST run."
Check items (unit operation)
• The rated voltage must be present between inter-unit wirings 1 and 2.
• Connect a 5 k ohm resistor between inter-unit wirings 2 and 3. When the
voltage at both ends is measured, approximately 12 to 15V DC must
be output and the multimeter pointer must bounce once every 8
seconds.
Or instead of measuring the voltage, you can insert an LED jig and
check that the LED flickers once every 8 seconds.
If there are no problems with the above, then check the outdoor unit.
For the "Test run" procedure, refer to "4. How to Test Run the Air Conditioner" on Appendix B.
(2) Checking the outdoor unit

8-4. Trouble Diagnosis of Fan Motor
8-4-1. Indoor Fan Motor
This indoor DC fan motor contains an internal control PCB. Therefore, it is not possible to measure the coil
resistance, and the following procedure should be used to check the motor.
To perform diagnosis, operate the unit in cooling mode with indoor fan speed "High". Next, make sure that the
indoor unit receive the signals from the remote controller when the ON/OFF operation button is pressed.
Important: (A) Turn OFF the power before connecting or disconnecting the motor connectors.
(B) When performing voltage measurement at the indoor controller connector for (3) in the table
below, the DC motor will trip and voltage output will stop approximately 1 minute after operation
is started. For this reason, to measure the voltage again, turn OFF the unit once using the
remote controller, and then start the air conditioner again.
[Trouble symptom 1]
The fan does not stop when the unit stops.
Indoor unit controller trouble.
[Trouble symptom 2] The fan motor does not rotate when the unit is operating.
(Diagnostic procedure)
* Disconnect the motor connectors and measure the voltage at the DC motor connectors on the indoor
unit controller (3 locations).
Measurement location
(1) Vm-Gnd: Between pin 1 and pin 3
(2) Vcc-Gnd: Between pin 4 and pin 3
(3) Vs-Gnd: Between pin 5 and pin 3
Normal value
DC 230 V or more
DC 14 V or more
Fluctuation between DC 1.7 to 6.1 V
(Diagnostic results)
All of the above measured values are normal. Fan motor trouble (Replace the motor.)
Any one of the above measured values is not normal. Indoor unit controller trouble (Replace the controller .)
(Reference)

Pin 1: Vm (red)
Pin 2: Not used
Pin 3: Gnd (black)
Pin 4: Vcc (white)
Pin 5: Vs (yellow)
Pin 6: PG (blue)
[Trouble symptom 3]
Motor rotates for some time (several seconds), but then quickly stops, when the indoor unit
operates.
(There is trouble in the system that provides feedback of motor rotation speed from the
motor to the indoor unit controller.)
[Trouble symptom 4]
Fan motor rotation speed does not change during indoor unit operation.
[Trouble symptom 5]
Fan motor rotation speed varies excessively during indoor unit operation.
(Remedy for symptom 3 to 5)
It is not possible to identify whether the trouble is indoor unit controller trouble or motor trouble.
Therefore, first replace the indoor unit controller, then (if necessary) replace the DC motor.

8-5. Noise Malfunction and Electromagnetic Interference
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.
(1) Noise malfunction
This refers to the application of high-frequency noise to the signal wires, resulting in abnormal signal pulses and malfunction.
Locations most susceptible to noise
1. Locations near broadcast stations where
there are strong electromagnetic waves
2. Locations near amateur radio (short wave)
stations
3. Locations near electronic sewing machines
and arc-welding machines
Trouble
Either of the following trouble may occur.
1. The unit may stop suddenly during
operation.
2. Indicator lamps may flicker.
Correction
(The fundamental concept is to
make the system less susceptible to noise.)
- Insulate for noise or
distance from the noise source. 1. Use shielded wires.
2. Move unit away from the noise source.
(2) Electromagnetic interference
This refers to noise generated by high-speed switching of the microcomputer and compressor. This noise radiates through
space and returns to the electric wiring, affecting any wireless devices (televisions, radios, etc.) located nearby.
Locations most susceptible to noise
1. A television or radio is located near the
A/C and A/C wiring.
2. The antenna cable for a television or
radio is located close to the A/C and A/C
wiring.
3. Locations where television and radio
signals are weak.
Trouble
Correction
1. Noise appears in the television picture, 1. Select a separate power source.
or the picture is distorted.
2. Keep the A/C and A/C wiring at least 1 meter
2. Static occurs in the radio sound.
away from wireless devices and antenna cables.
3. Change the wireless deviceÕs antenna to a
high-sensitivity antenna.
4. Change the antenna cable to a BS coaxial cable.
5. Use a noise filter (for the wireless device).
6. Use a signal booster.

SPECIAL REMARKS
‘‘DRY’’ (
) Operation
How it works?
•
•
•
Heating (
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 59 °F or less.
) 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 operating.
•
In the event of power failure, the unit will stop. When the power is resumed,
the unit will restart automatically within 15 minutes by the remote controller.
•
In heating or cooling operation, any plastic parts may expand or shrink due to
a sudden temperature change. In this event, a clicking sound may occur. This
is normal, and the sound will soon disappear.
•
The remote controller sends the setting condition to the air conditioner
regularly at five minute intervals.

•
Do
•
•
20
Do not block neither the air intake nor the air outlet. It may cause less
performance, and may leads to malfunctions.
Do not let direct sunlight into the room. Use sunshades, blinds or curtains. If
the walls and ceiling of the room are warmed by the sun, it will take longer to
cool the room.
Always try to keep the air filter clean. (Refer to “CARE AND CLEANING”.) A
clogged filter will impair the performance of the unit.
To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows, doors and any other
openings closed.
ADJUSTING THE AIRFLOW DIRECTION
1. Horizontal
The horizontal airflow can be adjusted by moving the vertical vanes with your
hands to the left or right.
When the humidity is high, the vertical vanes should be in the front
position during the cooling or dehumidifying operation. If the vertical
vanes are positioned all of the way to the right or left, condensation may
begin to form around the air vent and drip down.
CAUTION
2. Vertical
The vertical airflow can be adjusted by moving the flap with the remote controller.
Do not move the flap with your hands. Confirm that the remote controller has
been turned on. Use the FLAP button to set either the sweep function or one of
the six airflow direction settings.

•
•
The flap automatically closes when the unit is off.
During the heating operation, the fan speed will be very low and the flap will
be in the horizontal position (position ) until the air being blown out of the
unit begins to warm. Once the air warms up, the flap position and fan speed
change to the settings specified with the remote controller.
•
Use the FLAP button on the remote controller to adjust the position of
the flap. If you move the flap by hand, the flap position according to the
remote controller and the actual flap position may no longer match. If
this should happen, shut off the unit, wait for the flap to close, and then
turn on the unit again; the flap position will now be normal again.
Do not have the flap pointed down during cooling operation.
Condensation may begin to form around the air vent and drip down.

SPECIAL REMARKS
‘‘DRY’’ (
) Operation
How it works?
•
•
•
Heating (
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 59 °F or less.
) 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 operating.
•
In the event of power failure, the unit will stop. When the power is resumed,
the unit will restart automatically within 15 minutes by the remote controller.
•
In heating or cooling operation, any plastic parts may expand or shrink due to
a sudden temperature change. In this event, a clicking sound may occur. This
is normal, and the sound will soon disappear.
•
The remote controller sends the setting condition to the air conditioner
regularly at five minute intervals.

Do
•
•
20
Do not block neither the air intake nor the air outlet. It may cause less
performance, and may leads to malfunctions.
Do not let direct sunlight into the room. Use sunshades, blinds or curtains. If
the walls and ceiling of the room are warmed by the sun, it will take longer to
cool the room.
Always try to keep the air filter clean. (Refer to “CARE AND CLEANING”.) A
clogged filter will impair the performance of the unit.
To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows, doors and any other
openings closed.
ADJUSTING THE AIRFLOW DIRECTION
1. Horizontal
The horizontal airflow can be adjusted by moving the vertical vanes with your
hands to the left or right.
When the humidity is high, the vertical vanes should be in the front
position during the cooling or dehumidifying operation. If the vertical
vanes are positioned all of the way to the right or left, condensation may
begin to form around the air vent and drip down.
CAUTION
2. Vertical
The vertical airflow can be adjusted by moving the flap with the remote controller.
Do not move the flap with your hands. Confirm that the remote controller has
been turned on. Use the FLAP button to set either the sweep function or one of
the six airflow direction settings.

•
•
The flap automatically closes when the unit is off.
During the heating operation, the fan speed will be very low and the flap will
be in the horizontal position (position ) until the air being blown out of the
unit begins to warm. Once the air warms up, the flap position and fan speed
change to the settings specified with the remote controller.
•
Use the FLAP button on the remote controller to adjust the position of
the flap. If you move the flap by hand, the flap position according to the
remote controller and the actual flap position may no longer match. If
this should happen, shut off the unit, wait for the flap to close, and then
turn on the unit again; the flap position will now be normal again.
Do not have the flap pointed down during cooling operation.
Condensation may begin to form around the air vent and drip down.

No additional charge of compressor oil is necessary. For more detailed charging information, refer to the Technical & Service Manual.
2-2. Embedding the Tubing and Wiring
Before beginning embedding installation work, consult
fully with agencies or offices related to the building’s
foundation, construction, electricity, and water.
Wait to make connections to the embedded portion.
Each connection step is described later in this
manual.
Securely cover the end of the embedded tubing to
prevent intrusion of dirt or moisture.
If an embedded tube is to be left for a long time, fill
the tube with nitrogen and seal both ends securely.
If a tube is left open for an extended time, moisture in
the air inside the tubing may condense into water
droplets, and lead to water contamination of the refrigerant circuit.
In order to prevent insulation breakdown and ground
faults, do not allow wiring ends to come in contact with
rainwater, or be subjected to condensation or dew.
Apply sufficient thermal insulation to the refrigerant
tubing and drain pipes.

5. Remote Controller Installation Position
The remote controller can be operated from either a
non-fixed position or a wall-mounted position.
To ensure that the air conditioner operates correctly, do
not install the remote controller in the following places:
In direct sunlight
Behind a curtain or other place where it is covered
More than 26' (8 m) away from the air conditioner
In the path of the air conditioner’s airstream
Where it may become extremely hot or cold
Where it may be subject to electrical or magnetic
interference
Where there is an obstacle between the remote con-
troller and the air conditioner (since a check signal is
sent from the remote controller every 5 minutes)
5-1. Mounting on a Wall
Before mounting the remote controller, press the
ON/OFF operation button at the mounting location to
make sure that the air conditioner operates from that
location. The indoor unit should make a beeping sound
to indicate that it has received the signal.
