1. Safety Precautions
To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following instructions must be followed.
n Incorrect operation due to ignoring instruction will cause harm or damage. The seriousness is classified by the following indications.
This symbol indicates the possibility of death or serious injury.
This symbol indicates the possibility of injury or damage to properties only.
n Meanings of symbols used in this manual are as shown below.
Be sure to disconnect the power cable plug from the plug socket before disassembling the equipment for a repair.Internal components and circuit boards are at
main potential when the equipment is connected to the power cables. This voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if come in contact with it.
Do not touch the discharging refrigerant gas during the repair work.
The discharging refrigerant gas.The refrigerant gas can cause frostbite.
Release the refrigerant gas completely at a well-ventilated place first.
Otherwise, when the pipe is disconnected, refrigerant gas or refrigerating
machine oil discharges and it Can cause injury.
When the refrigerant gas leaks during work, execute ventilation. If the refrigerant
gas touches to a fire, poisonous gas generates. A case of leakage of the refrigerant and the closed room full with gas is dangerous because a shortage of oxygen
occurs. Be sure to execute ventilation.
When removing the front panel or cabinet, execute short-circuit and discharge
between high voltage capacitor terminals. If discharge is not executed, an electric
shock is caused by high voltage resulted in a death or injury.
Do not turn the air-conditioner ON or OFF by plugging or unplugging the power
plug. There is risk of fire or electrical shock.

Do not turn on the breaker under condition that front panel and cabinet are
removed.
Be sure to earth the air conditioner with an earthing conductor connected to the
earthing terminal.
Conduct repair works after checking that the refrigerating cycle section has
cooled down sufficiently. Otherwise, working on the unit, the hot refrigerating
cycle section can cause burns.
Do not tilt the unit when removing panels. Otherwise, the water inside the unit
can spill and wet floor.
Do not use the welder in a well-ventilated place. Using the welder in an enclosed
room can cause oxygen deficiency.
Be sure to turn off power switch before connect or disconnect connector, or parts
damage may be occurred.
-5-
Check to see if the power cable plug is not dirty or loose. If the plug is dust or
loose it can cause an electrical shock or fire.
Do not use a joined power cable or extension cable, or share the same power
outlet with other electrical appliances. otherwise, it can cause an electrical shock,
excessive heat generation or fire.
Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet while the product is operating. There are sharp and moving parts that could cause personal
injury.
Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. It may cause product failure
Check to see if the parts are mounted correctly and wires are connected.
Improper installation and connections can cause an electric shock or an injury.
Check the installation platform or frame has corroded. Corroded installation platform or frame can cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.
Be sure to check the earth wire is correctly connected.
After the work has finished, be sure to do an insulation tset to check the resistance is 2[Mohm] or more between the charge section and the non-charge metal
section (Earth position). If the resistance value is low, a disaster such as a leak or
electric shock is caused at users side.
Check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair. If drainage is faulty the
water to enter the room and wet floor.

[ Notes ]
1. To get the desired Airflow & E.S.P. combination from the table set the matching value from the table. Value other than
that in table will not give the combinations of airflow & E.S.P. which are mentioned in the table.
2. Table data is based at 230V. According to the fluctuation of voltage, air flow rate varies.

When controlling multiple indoor units with event communication function with one remote controller, you must change the
master/slave setting from the indoor unit.
- Indoor units, the master/slave configuration of the product after completion of indoor unit power OFF and then ON the
power after 1 minutes elapsed sign up.
- For ceiling type cassette and duct product group, change the switch setting of the indoor PCB.
- For wall-mount type and stand type product, change the master/slave setting with the wireless remote controller. (Refer to
wireless remote controller manual for detail)
h When installing 2 remote controllers to one indoor unit with event communication function, set the master/slave of the
remote controller. (Refer to remote controller master/slave selection)
When controlling the group, some functions excluding basic operation setting, fan level Min/Mid/Max, remote controller

As for operation of Remote Controller, use it by directing the transmitter part of Remote Controller to the receiver part of front panel
directly under front panel.
Do not drop it down or into water. Or else there is worry about
trouble failure.
Do not press hard the Remote Controller button with nail (ballpoint pen or other sharp substance). Or else there is worry
about trouble failure.
In case when obstacle such as curtain hides the signal reception
part of receiver in between the space interval, Remote Controller
operation is infeasible.

Always stop the air conditioner operation for safety before operating lift grill.
Take heed _ there is worry about dust fall etc. when suction grill descends.
In case when the set automatic stop distance goes wrong, check the set value of operation panel and confirm if there is neither obstacle nor mankind.
When you are not to remove obstacle, stop the operation before touching the obstacle.

1. Normal operation
Basic principle is to control the rpm of the motor by changing the working frequency of the compressor.
Three phase voltage is supplied to the motor and the time for which the voltage will supplied is controlled by IPM
(intelligent power module).
Switching speed of IPM defines the variable frequency input to the motor.

Connect the charge hose which you dis-connected from the vacuum pump to the valve at
the bottom of the cylinder.
If you are using a gas cylinder, also use a
scale and reverse the cylinder so that the system can be charged with liquid.
(2) Purge the air from the charge hose.
Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder
and press the check valve on the charge set to
purge the air. (Be careful of the liquid refrigerant). The procedure is the same if using a gas
cylinder.
(3) Open the valve (Lo side on the charge set and
charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
If the system can not be charged with the specified amount of refrigerant, it can be charged
with a little at a time (approximately 150g each
time) while operating the air conditioner in the
cooling cycle; however, one time is not sufficient, wait approximately 1 minute and then
repeat the procedure (pumping down-pin).
WARNING
When installing or relocation the unit, make sure
that no substance other than the specified refrigerant(R410A) enter the refrigerant circult.
- Any presence of foreign substance such as air
can cause an abnormal pressure rise and may
result in explosion or injury.

Check Point
1. Estimate the resistance of each sensor.(Unplugged)
2. Estimate the voltage of each sensor.(Plugged)
3. If the resistance of the sensor is 0 k or , then sensor is abnormal.

Communication
(Indoor Outdoor)
Cause of error
Communication poorly
Check Point
1. Check the input power AC230V. (Outdoor, Indoor unit)
2. Check the communication wires are correctly connected.
Adjust the connection of wire Confirm the wire of "Live",
"Neutral"
3. Check the resistance between communication line and
GND. (Normal : Over 2M)
4. Check the connector for communication is correctly connected.
5. If one indoor unit is operated normally, outdoor PCB is no
problem.
Check the another indoor unit.
* CH05 is displayed at indoor unit, CH53 is displayed at
outdoor unit.
6. If all indoor unit is displayed CH05 but outdoor PCB not
display
1) In Case of CH05, Check the Connection

Check Point
1. Check resistance between No.19 pin and NO.20 pin of PCB PFC module
2. Check resistance between No.24 pin and NO.25 pin of PCB PFC module
3. Resistance value should be in 7k 10%.(at 25C).
4. Check the PFC Module No.19, 20 and IPM Module No.24, 25 pin soldering condition.
