Important!
Please Read Before Starting
This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operating standards. As the installer or service person, it is an important part of your job to install or service the system so it operates safely and efficiently.
For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must:
Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.
Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.
Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices given in this manual.
WARNING
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in personal injury or product or property damage.
If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or your certified dealer for additional instructions.
In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation or maintenance service, including failure to follow the instructions in this document.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED
ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO
WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
•
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected and checked.
Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when wiring. Improper connections and
•
•
• inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
Install a protective leakage breaker depending on the installation location (especially a damp or humid location). If a leakage breaker is not installed, electric shock can occur.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing
In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support.
In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
"sweating" that can cause dripping and water damage to walls and floors.
In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.
In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
•
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When Servicing
• Turn the power off at the main power box (mains) before
• opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wiring.
Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving
• parts.
Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced.
Others
CAUTION
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic
• gas.
Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can produce dangerously toxic gas.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
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
Follow the procedure below to perform detailed trouble diagnostics.
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.
< Clock display >
Test run mode
Self-diagnostics mode
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 ION button and 1 HR TIMER button. Then, press and hold the ACL (reset) button with a pointed object such as the tip of a pen. After 5 seconds, release ACL button first, then release ION and 1 HR TIMER buttons, "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.

8-3. Checking the Indoor and Outdoor Units
(1) Checking the indoor unit
No.
Control Check items (unit operation)
1 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."
• 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 5. "HOW TO TEST RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER" on Appendix C.
(2) Checking the outdoor unit
No.

Control
Apply the rated voltage between outdoor unit terminals L and N.
Short-circuit the outdoor unit COM terminal to the T-RUN terminal.
Check items (unit operation)
• The control panel LED (red) must illuminate.
• The compressor, fan motor, and 4-way valve must all turn on.
If there are no problems with the above, then check the indoor 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 230V or more
DC 14V or more
Fluctuation between DC 1.7 to 6.1V
(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) DC motor connector pin arrangement
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.
33
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 Trouble Correction
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
Either of the following trouble may occur.
1. The unit may stop suddenly during operation.
2. Indicator lamps may flicker.
(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 Trouble Correction
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.
1. Noise appears in the television picture, or the picture is distorted.
2. Static occurs in the radio sound.
1. Select a separate power source.
2. Keep the A/C and A/C wiring at least 1 meter away from wireless devices and antenna cables.
3. Change the wireless device’s antenna to a highsensitivity 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.

01_MCAF78MR5I_EN.fm Page 17 Friday, November 2, 2007 2:28 PM
Special Remarks
‘‘DRY’’ ( ) Operation
How it works?
• 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 15 °C or less.
Heating ( ) 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 operation.
Power failure during operation
• 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 control unit.
Clicking Sound
Clicking sound is heard from the air conditioner
• 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.
Remote Control Unit
• The remote control unit sends the setting condition signals to the air conditioner regularly at five minute intervals.

Special Remarks
‘‘DRY’’ ( ) Operation
How it works?
• 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 15 °C or less.
Heating ( ) 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 operation.
Cooling ( ) Operation
• Sometimes the indoor unit may not get to the set fan speed such as LOW and QUIET under cool operation at very low outdoor temperatures due to the indoor unit being protected from ice or frost.
Power failure during operation
• In the event of power failure, the unit will stop. When the power is resumed, the unit will restart automatically within 5 minutes or 15 minutes at M position of the S/M switch on AUTO mode by the remote control unit.
Clicking Sound
Clicking sound is heard from the air conditioner
• 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.
Remote Control Unit
• The remote control unit sends the setting condition signals to the air conditioner regularly at five minute intervals.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED
ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO
WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
• Install a protective leakage breaker depending on the installation location (especially a damp or humid location). If a leakage breaker is not installed, electric shock can occur.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.

When Installing…
…In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support.
…In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to walls and floors.
…In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Do not add any refrigerant, air, or substance into the refrigeration circuit other than the designated refrigerant
(R410A). Adding anything other than the specified refrigerant may cause the pressure to rise excessively in the refrigeration circuit, rupturing the circuit and causing injury or damage.
• Use all-new tubing and flare nuts to make the tubing connections. Using any previous parts (from R22-based systems) may result in damage to the equipment, and may lead to the refrigeration circuit rupturing, causing a serious accident.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains) before opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit being serviced.
CAUTION
Others
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas.
• Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can produce dangerously toxic gas.

2-2. Embedding the Tubing and Wiring
G Before beginning embedding installation work, consult fully with agencies or offices related to the building’s foundation, construction, electricity, and water.
G Wait to make connections to the embedded portion.
Each connection step is described later in this manual.
G Securely cover the end of the embedded tubing to prevent intrusion of dirt or moisture.
G 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.
G 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.
G Apply sufficient thermal insulation to the refrigerant tubing and drain pipes
