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. This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can WARNING result in severe personal injury or death. This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can CAUTION 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 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.

. FUNCTIONS -. Explanation of Functions Control/conditions Unit operation Explanation INITIAL Breaker is ON. Power is supplied to the indoor and outdoor unit control circuits, however the unit remains stopped. Positioning of the outdoor unit electric expansion valve is performed. The ON/OFF operation button on the remote controller is pressed. If automatic operation mode has been selected with the remote controller, operation begins in HEAT, SENSOR DRY, or COOL mode depending on the room temperature and outdoor temperature at the time operation starts. This applies in the case of automatic HEAT/COOL operation. Depending on the operational mode, refer to the HEAT, SENSOR DRY, or COOL item. HEAT The ON/OFF operation button on the remote controller is pressed. Operation lamp illuminates. Indoor fan is stopped to prevent cold air from being emitted. Outdoor unit begins operating after forced-stop is canceled. the compressor starts. the outdoor fan starts. The unit is forced to stop for minutes after the power is turned ON, or minutes after the compressor stops, in order to protect the compressor. The frequency is increased at the rate of Hz every 0. seconds. When the indoor coil temperature rises, the indoor fan changes from "LL" to the set fan speed. Depending on the relationship between the remote controller temperature setting and the room temperature, the compressor may stop temporarily (in other words, the thermostat may turn OFF). When the frequency reaches Hz,frequency increases are stopped for a period of seconds. (Refor to Table "Freguency control".) This is in order to stabilize the return of oil to the compressor. The frequency then increases. If the indoor and outdoor temperatures are high, the current peak cut-off activates, stopping any increases in frequency. The room temperature has reached the desired temperature. The indoor temperature and the remote controller temperature setting are approximately equal. Operating frequency is stabilized in order to maintain a comfortable environment. The thermostat turns OFF. The indoor fan is stopped. The outdoor unit stops. (It does not stop if the thermostat for another indoor unit is ON.) Approximately 0 seconds after the thermostat turns OFF, the indoor fan is stopped. The indoor and outdoor temperatures are high. In order to protect the compressor, the outdoor unit will not operate for minutes after the thermostat turns OFF, even if the room temperature drops below the desired temperature. The outdoor unit starts automatically after minutes. During these minutes, a low-pressure pressure balance is achieved, allowing the compressor to start more easily. The frequency is not increased, even if there is a difference between the room temperature and the desired temperature. In some cases, the frequency may be decreased. The amount of heat pump exceeds the amount of heat radiation from the room. Therefore, there is no need to further increase the compressor capacity, and the frequency is stabilized or lowered. The thermostat turns ON. The indoor fan is started. The unit operated before, and the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is relatively warm. Therefore,the fan speed may start at the set fan speed at the same time that the thermostat turns ON. 8
Control/conditions Unit operation Explanation HEAT When defrost operation begins, frost has formed on the outdoor unit (when the ambient air temperature is low). Non-stop defrost Indoor fan : Stopped Outdoor fan : Stopped Compressor : 0 Hz Solenoid valve (for hot gas bypass): ON -way valve : Remains ON Operation lamp : Red and orange ON alternately Defrost operation begins based on outdoor heat exchanger temperature and outdoor air temperature conditions. Non-stop defrost (Refer to Fig. ). After HEAT operation begins, the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is at or below the L line for 8 minutes. (If outdoor air temperature is less than C, the time is 8 minutes). After HEAT operation begins, the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is at or below the L line for 0 minutes. The -way valve remains ON during defrost. The outdoor fan stops and the solenoid valve turns ON, allowing the refrigerant to bypass the indoor unit. The operating frequency during defrost is 0 Hz. (Frequency is lowered if the current peak cut-off function is activated.) The maximum length of a single defrost operation is minutes. For the outdoor heat exchanger temperature conditions for ending defrost, refer to Table. Defrost release Indoor fan turns ON. After 0 seconds, the solenoid valve (for hot gas bypass) turns OFF. When the cold air feel has disappeared, the indoor fan starts and gradually increases speed until it reaches the set speed. STOP [Clean defrost] Defrost is performed when the outdoor unit is stopped, and the temperature of the outdoor unit coil is at or below the L line. (Refer to Fig..) All indicator lamps turn OFF. The indoor and outdoor units stop. Operation is restarted within hours (only when AUTO mode is selected with the remote controller). Starts operating in the same operating mode (HEAT) and with the same temperature settings as before operation was stopped. Within hours after operation was stopped, it is assumed that there has been no significant change in the indoor and outdoor temperatures, and the previous conditions (HEAT) are stored. Operation starts after hours or more have passed. New operation begins based on the temperature conditions at the time the ON/OFF button is pressed.

Control/conditions Unit operation Explanation COOL The ON/OFF operation button on the remote controller is pressed. The operation lamp illuminates. The indoor fan operates at the set fan speed. The outdoor unit stops. The outdoor unit does not operate for minutes even after the breaker is turned ON. The outdoor unit starts. The frequency is increased at the rate of 0. Hz every seconds. (Compressor and the outdoor fan start.) When the frequency reaches Hz, frequency increases are stopped for a period of seconds. (Refer to Table.) This is in order to stabilize the return of oil to the compressor. The frequency then increases. If the indoor and outdoor temperatures are high, the current peak cut-off activates, stopping any increases in frequency. The room temperature has reached the desired temperature. The indoor temperature and the desired temperature are approximately equal. Operating frequency is stabilized in order to maintain a comfortable environment. The thermostat turns OFF. The outdoor unit stops. (It does not stop if the thermostart for another indoor unit is ON.) The thermostat turns ON again. After the thermostat turns ON again, the outdoor unit will not operate for minutes, even if the room temperature increases above the desired temperature. After minutes, the outdoor unit begins operating automatically. During these minutes, a pressure balance is achieved, allowing the compressor to start more easily. Freeze prevention When the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger drops to approximately C or below, the compressor turns OFF, the outdoor fan turns OFF, and the indoor fan continues operating with no changes. In order to protect against freezing, the compressor stops temporarily, until the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger has risen. Approximately minutes later, if the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is adove 8 C, the system returns to its original conditions. Stop All indicator lamps turn OFF. The indoor and outdoor units stop. Operation is restarted within hours (only when AUTO mode is selected with the remote controller). Starts operating in the same operating mode (COOL) and with the same temperature settings as before operation was stopped. Within hours after operation was stopped, it is assumed that there has been no significant change in the indoor and outdoor temperatures, and the previous conditions (COOL) are stored. Operation starts after hours or more have passed. New operating mode is determined based on the temperature conditions at the time the ON/OFF operation button is pressed.

The indoor fan operates at the set fan speed. The outdoor unit stops. The outdoor unit does not operate for minutes even after the breaker is turned ON. The outdoor unit starts. The frequency is increased at the rate of 0. Hz every seconds. (Compressor and the outdoor fan start.) When the frequency reaches Hz, frequency increases are stopped for a period of seconds. (Refer to Table.) This is in order to stabilize the return of oil to the compressor. The frequency then increases. If the indoor and outdoor temperatures are high, the current peak cut-off activates, stopping any increases in frequency. The room temperature reaches the desired temperature, and there is no need for further cooling. DRY operation starts DRY A operation The indoor fan changes between "Low" and "LL" (very low) over a -minute cycle. This is /f fluctuation fan operation. (Refer to Fig..) Operating frequency is stabilized in order to maintain a comfortable environment. Operates to effectively dehumidify the air while not excessively reducing the indoor temperature. The indoor unit operates at /f fluctuation fan operation, at a fan speed that does not cause a chilly feeling. The room temperature is C or higher, and is slightly too cold. DRY B operation () The indoor fan changes between "Low" and "LL" (very low) over a -minute cycle. This is /f fluctuation fan operation. The compressor operates on a -minutes ON, -minutes OFF cycle, to prevent the room temperature from dropping too much.

NOTE Defrost does not occur during HIGH POWER operation. If other stopped indoor units are started during defrost operation, they begin operating in defrost mode. () Clean defrost If all indoor units are stopped during HEAT operation, and frost is detected at the L line, and the conditions for defrost are met, then defrost operation occurs, and the unit stops after defrost is completed.
--. Current Control The operating current may rise as a result of causes including increasing heating or cooling loads or decreases in power voltage. In these cases, the operating frequency is automatically reduced, or operation is stopped, in order to control the operating current so that it is (9. A) or less. As a result: Power breakers and fuses will not be tripped. Operation can continue during this period with somewhat reduced heating or cooling capacity. Operation at normal capacity is restored when the cause of the current rise is eliminated. Description of function Example of operation for heating (A) (9.A) (8.A) Target frequency Frequency Current Frequency Stops operation Approx. minutes Power Point C Point B Point A Operates at the target frequency at Point A and below. Stops increases to the frequency between Points A and B. Reduces the frequency by Hz per 0. seconds when Point B is exceeded. Stops operation, and restarts it appoximately minutes later, if Point C is exceeded. (May operate when sudden voltage fluctuations occur. Indicates trouble.) () Automatic frequency control The operating frequency is reduced automatically, or operation is stopped, in order to control the operating current so that it is at or below the values shown in the table below.

--. Low Start Current Operation starts at (8 Hz), and the start current is less than the normal operating current. This prevents the flickering of fluorescent lights or television screens that occurs when ordinary A/C units start. --. Compressor Temperature Control To protect the compressor coil from overheating, the operating frequency is controlled based on the compressor discharge temperature. ( C) Compressor discharge temperature (0) (0) (00) (90) Trip Hz every 0 sec. reduction Hz every 0 sec. reduction No control Increase prohibit range (Hz reduction) * Within the increase-prohibit range, the range changes to the Hz reduction range ( Hz every 0 seconds) if the compressor temperature rises by C. --. Control at HEAT Start-up If HEAT operation is started when the outdoor air temperature is C or below, the unit operates at the HEAT start-up frequency (0 Hz). Reset conditions () () () () () The compressor frequency exceeds the start-up frequency of (0 Hz). The compressor thermostat is OFF. Frequency reduction for indoor high-load control has occurred. The outdoor air temperature is above C. The main-unit switch on one or more indoor units is set to TEST run.
-. Special Functions --. Noise Reducing Control (Outdoor Unit) The noise reducing control is the function used for silent operation of the air conditioner by means of setting the dip switch on the outdoor unit P.C.Board to control the fan and compressor's motor speed. NOTE When this function is used, the cooling or heating ability is slightly degraded. Therefore, when this function is to be enabled, make sure to receive the approval of the client. <Operation Sound> Specifications Noise Reducing Control (Fan's motor speed : 0rpm) Cooling Heating Cooling Heating 0 db-a db-a db-a db-a Outdoor Air Temp.

--. Maximum Current Value Change Function The maximum current value is changed to.0a or.a to prevent power breaker tripping. (It is set to 0A when the unit is delivered from the factory.) NOTE. When the high load is given (Outside temperature is high in the cooling operation, or outdoor temperature is low in the heating operation), the capacity is reduced. When the maximum current value change function is to be enabled, make sure to receive the approval of the client.. The maximum capacity for cooling or heating operation is about as much as the rated capacity.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING 8-. Precautions before Performing Inspection or Repair Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit include electronic control circuits. Be sure to pay attention to the following before inspecting or repairing the outdoorside electronic circuits. High-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used inside the outdoor unit controller (inverter). They retain an electrical charge (charging voltage DC V) 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 control circuit board Power Lamp (red) turns OFF. If the outdoor control circuit board is normal, approximately 80 seconds will be required for the charge to dissipate. However, allow at least 0 minutes for the charge to dissipate if it is thought there might be trouble with the outdoor control circuit board. For example, if the outdoor control circuit board fuse has blown, approximately 0 minutes will be required to discharge the high-capacity electrolytic capacitors.
8-. Self-Diagnostics The self-diagnostics is performed and the results are indicated with the combined patterns of lighting ON, blinking and lighting OFF of the error monitor lamps on the Control P.C.Board. WARNING To prevent electric shock, do not inspect or repair until the Power Lamp on the Control P.C.Board is turned off. 8--. Method of Self-Diagnostics () Remove the right front cover. Refer to Fig. in "-- Noise Reducing Control" for details. () Turn on the switch No. of the dip switch (SW0) on the Control P.C.Board.

8-. Checking the Outdoor System 8--. Checking the outdoor unit No. Work procedure Check items (unit operation) Apply 0 V AC between terminals L and N on the outdoor unit terminal plate. The LED (red) on the control board must illuminate. Short-circuit the T-RUN terminal to the COM terminal of TEST/T-RUN terminals. The compressor, fan motor, -way valve, and solenoid valve (for the hot gas bypass) must turn ON. (They turn ON about (0) seconds later after the power is turned ON.) NOTE If the above check items are okay, but the outdoor unit does not operate, there may be a faulty connection between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. 8--. Checking the defrost operation Using forced defrost operation to check this function.

8--. Inspection Points for Each Part () Outdoor control circuit board Refer to 8--. Checking the outdoor unit. NOTE Do not remove or insert the outdoor control circuit board connector when power is being supplied to it. (The controller will be damaged.) () Fuse Check it visually or the continuity with a tester. () Compressor Check for an open circuit in the compressor coil winding. () Compressor protective sensor (compressor discharge temperature thermistor) Check that the senseor is securely contained in the thermostart holder. () -way valve Short-circuit the T-RUN terminal to the COM terminal of TEST/T-RUN terminals. Perfrom a test run of the unit alone, and check whether the -way valve inside the outdoor unit produces a click sound. () Coil thermistor Check that the sensor is securely contained in the thermostat holder. () Electric expansion valve When replacing the electric expansion valve and coil, be sure to attach the connectors in the correct positions. Labels are applied to the valve body and coil, corresponding to the connector colors, to identify them. No voltage on circuit board Controller check Voltage varies Use a multi-meter to measure the voltage ( V). When the power is turned ON, the needle will move in the following seguence in approximately 0 to 0 seconds for each point. Model No. SAP-CMRVEH Sequence MV-A MV-B MV-C MV-D MV-E Check the illumination of the red Power Lamp. Replace the controller. Check the coil resistance. 0 ohm Approx. +/ ohm Check the resistance between the gray lead wire and the other wires. Resistance is OK if it is +/ ohm at 0 C NOTE Cool the main unit with a damp cloth or other means while welding. When applying vacuum, use the special service magnet and rotate at least revolutions counterclockwise to fully open the electric expansion valve. Replace the coil. No temperature change Replace the electric expansion valve. * Open and close the electric expansion valve by hand to check it. Temperature changes This part is normal. Check elsewhere. Use the special service magnet and rotate revolutions clockwise to fully close the valve. Then start the unit and measure the temperature at the inlet and outlet tubes of the electric expansion valve. If the temperature difference is large, the valve is closed. Then rotate revolutions counterclockwise to open the valve. Operation is normal if the temperature difference between the tubes drops. * If you have manually checked the electric expansion valve, be sure to reapply the outdoor power after you have replaced the wiring. (The position of the elecric expansion valve will changed.)
(8) Branch tubing temperature sensor Check that the sensor is securely contained in the thermostat holder. (9) Breaker Check whether or not the breaker has been tripped. Check that the breakers and fuses used are of the specified capacity. Check that the breaker and its line are exclusive for A/C use. (0) Refrigerant gas pressure Start a COOL test run, and messure the temperatures of the A/C intake air and discharge air. Compare the values with the performance charts. If the values are higher than the performance charts: Check for refrigerant shortage or blockage of the refrigerant circuit. < Assessment of refrigerant shortage >. The pressure in the low-pressure section is MPa or more below the value in the performance charts.. There is little condensation on the indoor heat exchanger, which overall appears dry. < Distinguishing between refrigerant shortage and refrigerant circuit blockage > If the pressure in the low-pressure section does not change when the circuit is charged to times with refrigerant gas (0. lbs each time), or if the change is small, then the problem may not be refrigerant shortage. The problem may be a blockage of the refrigerant circuit.. Check that there is no internal leakage inside the -way valve: At the low-pressure side tubing, check that there is no temperature difference between the intake and discharge of the -way valve.. Check that the electric expansion valve is not blocked. Check as described on the preceding page.
