1.1

Warnings and Cautions Regarding Safety of Workers

Warning

Do not store the equipment in a room with successive fire sources (e.g., naked flame, gas appliance, electric heater).

Be sure to disconnect the power cable plug from the plug socket before disassembling the equipment for repair.

Working on the 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 inspecting the circuits, do not touch any electrically charged sections of the equipment.

If the refrigerant gas is discharged during the repair work, do not touch the discharged refrigerant gas.

The 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 wellventilated 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 the refrigerant gas leaks during the repair work, ventilate the area.

The 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.

SiBE041434E

Warning

Do not start or stop the air conditioner operation by plugging or unplugging the power cable plug.

Plugging or unplugging the power cable plug 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 at a high place (more than 2 m).

Insufficient safety measures may cause a fall accident.

In case of R-32 / R-410A refrigerant models, be sure to use pipes, flare nuts and tools for the exclusive use of 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 as well as an 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 refrigerating system, an excessively high pressure results, causing equipment damage and injury.

Caution

Do not repair the electrical components with wet hands.

Working on the equipment with wet hands may cause an electrical shock.

Do not clean the air conditioner by splashing water.

Washing the unit with water may cause an electrical shock.

Be sure to provide the earth / grounding when repairing the equipment in a humid or wet place, to avoid electrical shocks.

Using the welder in an enclosed room may cause oxygen deficiency.

„

Checking the area

Before beginning work, conduct safety checks to minimise the risk of ignition. When repairing the refrigerating system, take the following precautions before work.

„

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.

„

General working area

All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out.

Work in confined spaces shall be avoided.

The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable materials.

„

Checking for presence of refrigerant

The working area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres.

Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with R-32, i.e. nonsparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

„

Fire extinguishing equipment

If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be made available at hand. Prepare a dry powder or CO

2

fire extinguisher adjacent to the working area.

„

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

„

Checking the refrigeration equipment

Where electrical components are to be changed, the new components shall be fit for the purpose and have the correct specifications.

The manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed at all times.

If there are any unclear points, consult the manufacturer's technical department for assistance.

The following checks shall be applied to any installation work involving R-32:

• The amount of charge is in accordance with the size of the room where the refrigerant containing parts are installed;

• The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;

• If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant;

• Marking on the equipment is visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected;

• Refrigeration pipes or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, or the refrigerant containing components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to corrosion or are suitably protected against corrosion.

„

Checking electrical devices

Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. In case there is any fault that could endanger safety, no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until the fault is satisfactorily dealt with.

Initial safety checks shall include:

• that capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking;

• that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system;

• that the equipment is earthed at all times.

„

Repairs to sealed components

During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the equipment being worked upon before the removal of any sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have power supplied to equipment during servicing, continuously operating leak detection shall be installed at the most dangerous point of the system in order to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.

Particular attention shall be paid to the following: ensure that working on electrical components does not alter the casing in such a way that affects the level of protection including damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals different from the original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.

Ensure that the equipment is mounted securely.

Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingression of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated before working on them.

„

Repair to intrinsically safe components

Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance load to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current for the equipment in use.

Only intrinsically safe components can be worked on in the presence of a flammable atmosphere.

The test apparatus shall be of correct rating.

Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Using other parts may result in ignition of the refrigerant leaked into the atmosphere.

„

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 methods

The following leak detection methods can be applied for systems containing R-32.

Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect R-32, but the sensitivity may not be adequate or may need re-calibration (detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area).

Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and that it is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set to the percentage of the lower flammability limit (LFL) of the refrigerant and calibrated to fit the refrigerant employed. The appropriate percentage of gas (maximum 25%) shall be confirmed.

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.

„

Removal and evacuation

When breaking the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or any other purpose, conventional procedures may be used. However, flammability must be taken into consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:

• Remove refrigerant;

• Purge the circuit with inert gas;

• Evacuate the inert gas;

• Purge again with inert gas;

• Carry out cutting or brazing of the circuit.

The refrigerant shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall be cleaned with OFN to render the unit safe. (= Flushing) This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.

Flushing shall be achieved through breaking the vacuum by filling the system with OFN until the working pressure is achieved, then venting the OFN into the atmosphere, and finally pulling the system down to vacuum again. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant remains within the system. After the last OFN charge is finished, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work. This operation is especially important if brazing operations on the piping work are to take place.

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.

Room temperature

(R12321)

Temperature

Control

The temperature of the room is detected by the room temperature thermistor. However, there is 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

Parameters

The frequency of the compressor is controlled by the following 2 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 inverter principle:

Phase Description

1

2

The supplied AC power source is converted into the DC power source for the present.

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.

Function and Control 16

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.

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

Tr

≥ Tt + 2.5°C (20/25 class)

Tr

3.11.1 Fully Closing with Power ON

The electronic expansion valve is initialized when turning on the power. The opening position is set and the pressure is equalized.

3.11.2 Pressure Equalizing Control

When the compressor is stopped, the pressure equalizing control is activated. The electronic expansion valve opens and the pressure is equalized.

3.11.3 Opening Limit Control

The maximum and minimum opening of the electronic expansion valve are limited.

The electronic expansion valve is fully closed when cooling operation stops, and is opened at a fixed degree during defrosting.

3.11.4 Starting Operation Control

The electronic expansion valve opening is controlled when the operation starts, thus preventing superheating or liquid compression.

3.11.5 Control when the Frequency Changes

When the target discharge pipe temperature control is active, if the target frequency changes to a specified value in a certain time period, the target discharge pipe temperature control is canceled and the target opening of the electronic expansion valve is changed according to the frequency shift.

3.11.6 High Discharge Pipe Temperature Control

When the compressor is operating, if the discharge pipe temperature exceeds a certain value, the electronic expansion valve opens and the refrigerant runs to the low pressure side. This procedure lowers the discharge pipe temperature.

Function and Control 48

Control Specification SiBE041434E

3.11.7 Discharge Pipe Thermistor Disconnection Control

Outline

The disconnection of the discharge pipe thermistor is detected by comparing the discharge pipe temperature with the condensation temperature. If the discharge pipe thermistor is disconnected, the electronic expansion valve opens according to the outdoor temperature and the operation frequency, operates for a specified time, and then stops.

After 3 minutes, the operation restarts and checks if the discharge pipe thermistor is disconnected. If the discharge pipe thermistor is disconnected, the system stops after operating for a specified time.

If the disconnection is detected repeatedly, the system is shut down. When the compressor runs for 60 minutes without any error, the error counter is reset.

Detail Determining thermistor disconnection

When the starting control (cooling:

A

seconds, heating:

B

seconds) finishes, the detection timer for disconnection of the discharge pipe thermistor (

C

seconds) starts. When the timer is over, the following adjustment is made.

1. When the operation mode is cooling

When the following condition is fulfilled, the discharge pipe thermistor disconnection is ascertained.

Discharge pipe temperature + 6°C < outdoor heat exchanger temperature

2. When the operation mode is heating

When the following condition is fulfilled, the discharge pipe thermistor disconnection is ascertained.

Discharge pipe temperature + 6°C < indoor heat exchanger temperature

When the thermistor is disconnected

When the disconnection is ascertained, the compressor continues operation for 9 minutes and then stops.

If the compressor stops repeatedly, the system is shut down.

3.11.8 Target Discharge Pipe Temperature Control

The target discharge pipe temperature is obtained from the indoor and outdoor heat exchanger temperature, and the electronic expansion valve opening is adjusted so that the actual discharge pipe temperature becomes close to the target discharge pipe temperature. (Indirect

SH (superheating) control using the discharge pipe temperature)

Sensor malfunction can be detected in the following thermistors:

1. Outdoor heat exchanger thermistor

2. Discharge pipe thermistor

3. Radiation fin thermistor

4. Outdoor temperature thermistor

3.12.2 Detection of Overcurrent and Overload

Outline

An excessive output current is detected and the OL temperature is observed to protect the compressor.

Detail

„

„

If the OL (compressor head) temperature exceeds 120°C, the system shuts down the compressor.

If the inverter current exceeds 9.25 ~ 10 A (depending on the model), the system shuts down the compressor.

3.12.3 Refrigerant Shortage Detection

Detecting by power consumption

If the power consumption is below the specified value and the frequency is higher than the specified frequency, it is regarded as refrigerant shortage.

The power consumption is low comparing with that in the normal operation when refrigerant is insufficient, and refrigerant shortage is detected by checking power consumption.

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 quasicompressor 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.

(1) Remove the terminals from the compressor.

(2) Connect the terminals to the terminals of the inverter analyzer.

101

Compressor

Inverter analyzer

Be careful not to let the terminals (U,V,W) touch each other. Otherwise, high voltage is applied.

(R18322)

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.

Service Diagnosis

SiBE041434E Check

„

Diagnose method (Diagnose according to 6 LEDs lighting status.)

(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.
