SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Before doing repair work, please read the " SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" carefully and fully understand them. • 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.
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.

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.
HIGH POWER NIGHT SETBACK This function acts to raise the power but keeps the AC system in the same operating mode. This function is set with the HIGH POWER button on the remote controller. (It can be set regardless of the temperature and fan speed settings.) When NIGHT SETBACK operation is set, the temperature and fan speed settings will be adjusted automatically to allow comfortable sleep. When NIGHT SETBACK operation is set, " mark" appears on the remote controller.
7-2. Protective Functions Overload prevention during heating Cold-air prevention during heating Indoor heat exchanger temperature °F(°C) During HEAT operation, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is used to control the frequency and lessen the load on the compressor before the protective device is activated. Indoor heat exchanger A. Control start B. Control end A T1 During heating, the fan speed is set to "LL" (very low) or stopped.
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.

OFF INDICATION ON INDOOR UNIT QUIET (3) TIMER (2) OPERATION (1) CODE S01 S02 S03 S04 S05 DIAGNOSIS CONTENTS POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION COMPRESSOR TEMP.
(2) If the self-diagnostics function fails to operate Check the indoor unit. No indicators illuminate and the indoor fan does not rotate. Check the power voltage. Blown Is the fuse blown? Normal Replace the circuit board or the fuse. Replace the controller.
8-3. Checking the Indoor and Outdoor Units (1) Checking the indoor unit No. 1 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.
(3) How to Identify a Serial Communication Error If the lamps on the main body show the following conditions after the completion of self-diagnosis, a communication error between the indoor unit and outdoor unit might be considered. In such a case, identify the breakdown section by using the following procedure. NOTE Refer to "Method of Self-Diagnosis" for the self-diagnosis procedure.
(3-2) Condition: E12 1. Disconnect the inter-unit wiring on the indoor unit side. 2. Operate the system in TEST RUN mode. Then, five minutes later, perform the self-diagnosis. Condition: E01 What is the self-diagnosis result ? Condition: E12 1. Disconnect the inter-unit wiring on the outdoor unit side. 2. Operate the system in TEST RUN mode. Then, five minutes later, perform the self-diagnosis. An error in the P. C. Board in the indoor unit might be considered. (Terminal board error, etc.
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.
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.
