Please Read Before Starting
This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operat-
ing 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.
Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.
Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.
Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
This symbol refers to a hazard or
unsafe practice which can result
in personal injury or product or
property damage.
In Case of Improper Installation
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUS
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED
ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO
WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
E
• 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 sys-
tem. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these
instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inad-
equate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
•
When Installing…
…In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to preven
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to
walls and floors.
t
…In Moist or Uneven Locations
…
…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.
•
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• 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 con-
nection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When Servicing
•
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving
parts.
•
•
• Confirm after installation that no refrigerant gas is leak-
ing. If the gas comes in contact with a burning stove,
gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat
source, it can cause the generation of poisonous gas.
IMPORTANT!
For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must:
Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices
given in this manual.
This symbol refers to a hazard or
unsafe practice which can result
in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
CAUTION
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.
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for
improper installation or maintenance service, including fail-
ure to follow the instructions in this document.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause over-
heating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
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.
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.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
Ventilate the room well, in the event that is refrigerant
gas leaks during the installation. Be careful not to allow
contact of the refrigerant gas with a flame as this will
cause the generation of poisonous gas.
Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains)
before opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts
and wiring.
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
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.

i
Check of Density Limit
The room in which the air conditioner is to be
installed requires a design that in the event of refrig-
erant gas leaking out, its density will not exceed a set
limit.
The refrigerant (R410A), which is used in the aircondition-
er, is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of ammonia,
and is not restricted by laws imposed to protect the ozone
layer. However, since it contains more than air, it poses the
risk of suffocation if its density should rise excessively. Suf-
focation from leakage of refrigerant is almost non-existent.
With the recent increase in the number of high density
buildings, however, the installation of multi air conditioner
systems is on the increase because of the need for effec-
tive use off loor space, individual control, energy conserva-
tion by curtailing heat and carrying power, etc.
Most importantly, the multi air conditioner system is able
to replenish a large amount of refrigerant compared to
conventional individual air conditioners. If a single unit of
the multi air conditioner system is to be installed in a
small room, select a suitable model and installation pro-
cedure so that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks out, its
density does not reach the limit (and in the event of an
emergency, measures can be made before injury can
occur).
ASHRAE and the International Mechanical Code of the
ICC as well as CSA provide guidance and define safe-
guards related to the use of refrigerants, all of which define
a Refrigerant Concentration Level (RCL) of 25 pounds
per 1,000 cubic feet for R410A refrigerant.
For additional guidance and precautions related to
refrigerant safety, please refer to the following documents:
International Mechanical Code 2009 (IMC-2009)

The W-2WAY ECO-i is a system that allows multiple outdoor units to be connected. The outdoor units all contain
inverter compressors, and the system does not utilize the sub units that were used in earlier systems.
The outdoor unit where the unit No. is set to “1” includes the CCU (command controller unit) functions that are
used to control the entire system. As a result, the system will not operate if no outdoor unit has been set as unit
No. “1.”
Required settings for Test Run

1 ~ 3 units
1 ~ 40 units
System 1 ~ 30
This system can be expanded to connect a maximum of 3 outdoor units. (The max. system capacity shall be within
24 Ton.)
The CCU functions are disabled at all units except the unit that is set as unit No. 1. Therefore no problems will
result even if the system address, No. of indoor units, and No. of outdoor units settings are made at the other units.
However, making these settings may be convenient for manual backup operation, as it eliminates the necessity of
making the settings again if unit No. 1 fails.

(1)
(2) Stopping individual outdoor units
The last unit to stop operating is the outdoor unit that contains the inverter compressor with the shortest
amount of operating time.
In cooling mode, all inverter compressors in the outdoor units are designed to operate simultaneously
Therefore, all the outdoor units will stop at a time when any one unit is stopped. In heating mode, the out
door unit which has the inverter compressor with the shortest amount of operating time continues to run and
rest of the other outdoor units may be stopped.

(1) Delayed start of outdoor units in the same system
If it is necessary to operate the compressors simultaneously at multiple outdoor units, each outdoor unit will
start, beginning with unit No. 1, after a delay of a number of seconds equivalent to the outdoor unit address.
The units do not start simultaneously.
This is in order to reduce the load on the power receiving equipment.
Starts after 1 second
Starts after 2 seconds
2-1. Outdoor Unit Operating Rules
2-2. Delayed Start of Outdoor Units
2-3. Outdoor Unit Stop Rules
Because in this system all outdoor units contain an inverter compressor, ordinarily there is no absolute order of
priority for compressor operation. Therefore there is no order of priority for the outdoor units.
However, it is possible to operate the outdoor units in sequence, beginning with unit No. 1, by using the outdoor
unit maintenance remote controller to change the outdoor unit EEPROM settings.
* For information concerning EEPROM settings, refer to the field application functions.

At the time of factory shipment, delayed start for each system is not set to occur. Therefore when systems are
linked and multiple systems are selected for start simultaneously by the central control device, all systems will
begin operating simultaneously. For this reason, a function is included to delay the start time for each system
address when systems are linked and multiple systems are selected for start by the central control device.
In order to enable this delay time, it must be set in the EEPROM for each system. Those systems where this
setting has been made will start after a delay according to their system addresses.
Simultaneous stop of multiple outdoor units
When all outdoor units, or multiple outdoor units, must stop, the units stop at the same time. However, depend-
ing on the communications timing, a difference of approximately 10 seconds may occur.

* If the Power Demand Mode is selected, the inverter may stabilize at a frequency lower than those stated
above. Refer to the Field Application Function for the detail.
(1) The below mentioned Roadmap Control are performed according to the pressure sensor on the outdoor unit
and the 2 temperature sensors attached to the indoor unit heat exchanger coil.
,
* With the roadmap control in heating mode, the pressure detected by the pressure sensor at high pressure
side is converted to the saturation temperature. This converted saturation temperature is called the “High
Pressure Saturated Temperature”.
(2)
(3) The evaporation temperature control and the temperature used to determine the area (A, AB, B, C) for the con-
densation control shown in the figure on the next page, may vary depending on the relationships among factors
including the difference between the room temperature setting and the air intake temperature (=air intake tem-
perature difference) and the difference between the air discharge temperature setting and the air discharge
temperature (=air discharge temperature difference).
(4) Definitions of evaporation temperature and condensation temperature
Lowest heat exchanger temperature (E1, E3) at any indoor unit
* E3 temperature in heating mode is not used for the condensation temperature detection, because it may indi-
cate the temperature of superheated gas.
3-3. Compressor Capacity Control
The compressor operating conditions vary depending on the indoor unit operating conditions and the effects of
indoor heat load, outdoor temperature and other factors. Unit No. 1 (CCU) calculates the required capacity accord-
ing to these operating conditions, and allocates the capacity requirement among the outdoor units, according to the
compressor start/stop rules. Fine adjustments to system capacity control are made by the inverter compressors.
(Depending on the conditions, all inverter compressors may be operating for fine adjustment.)
3-4. Inverter Compressor Capacity Control
The inverter compressor has a center limit value and upper limit value for the operating frequency. These limits
are set for each outdoor unit capacity.
3-5. Forced Compressor Stop
3-6. Roadmap Control
Once a compressor stops, it will not start for a period of 3 minutes (3-minute forced OFF). However, this does not
apply when the compressor was forced to stop as the result of a control operation during the special controls (start
control, defrost control, refrigerant oil recovery control, etc.) which are described later.
This control is performed every 15 seconds.
Evaporation temperature (Te):
Condensation temperature (Tc): Highest temperature among the outdoor unit pressure sensor temperature and
the heat exchanger temperatures (E1) at all indoor units where the heating
thermostat is ON.
Ordinarily, this is the outdoor unit pressure sensor temperature. (If multiple
outdoor units are connected, this is the highest outdoor unit pressure sensor
temperature. )

For indoor units that are operating in Cooling Mode, if one unit is selected for a test run mode, the room temper-
ature control by the set temperature cannot be performed. Areas B and C are assumed to be area A for control
purposes, instead. By this reason, the compressor continues its operation regardless of the low evaporation
temperature (This is used for additional charging of refrigerant, test run checking etc.) Vapor may be discharged
if the test run continues for a long time. However, this does not indicate problems.
If the thermostat turns OFF while Te is within area C, the next time the compressor starts it may restart from a
lower capacity.
For 6 minutes after the compressors start, area C is considered to be area B for control purposes.
During special control, control of the compressor capacity according to Te is not performed.

4-3-6. Outdoor unit cycle defrost
Outdoor unit cycle defrost is performed in systems where 2 outdoor units are connected to the refrigerant system.
Description of outdoor unit cycle defrost
With this defrost method, when 1 outdoor unit operates in defrost mode (heat exchanger operating as a con-
denser), another outdoor unit operates as an evaporator in the same way as in ordinary heating mode.
In this way, the other outdoor unit is heating the unit where defrost is occurring. When 1 outdoor unit completes
defrost, the other outdoor unit performs defrost in the same way.
Because the amount of time that the unit operates as an evaporator is very short, there is little danger of frost
forming again quickly. Rather, because the heat source is very powerful, it is possible to shorten the defrost
operating time.

Oil level
The compressor oil is short against
the required oil level sufficient for normal
operation.
The compressor contains sufficient oil
but there is a possibility of shortage
against the required oil level.
The compressor contains oil more than
the oil level which is necessary and
sufficient for normal operation.
There is no problem.
Confirm that oil is returned after
performing the oil control operation.
Confirm that oil level is recovered to the
required level after performing the oil
recovery control between systems.
At the time immediately after the oil level changes from 2 to 1, there is a specified amount of oil in the compressor.
Namely, soon after the oil level is changed to 1, the oil in the compressor is not empty. If the oil level “0” indication
continues for more than 5 to 10 minutes, it seems short of oil in the system. Check for any oil leakage as well as the
refrigerant tubing.

Excess oil in the compressor is sent by bypass via a capillary tube to the low-pressure circuit. The temperature
detected by a temperature sensor is used to determine whether it is oil (warm) or refrigerant (cold).

[MOV1, MOV2 & MOV4]
7-4. SC Circuit Electronic Control Valve [MOV4]
(1) SC Control (Cooling Mode only
During cooling operation, the liquid refrigerant which condenses at the outdoor unit heat exchanger flows into
the receiver tank, and SC (sub-cool = supercooling) approaches 0°F. When SC is small and the length of the
tubing connecting the indoor and outdoor units is long, the refrigerant flow in the indoor unit will be reduced sig-
nificantly. To prevent this trouble from occurring, MOV4 operates so as to increase supercooling in the double
tube coil near the outlet of the outdoor unit.
MOV4 controls refrigerant so that it will not flow back to the compressor in the liquid state with a suction tem-
perature sensor near the accumulator and a low pressure sensor.
(2) Operation when discharge temperature is high
When the discharge temperature increases, the SC circuit electronic thermostatic expansion valve opens to
480 pulses to cool down the compressor. This operation takes priority over operation intended to increase SC.
It is performed at top priority in all operating modes. In addition, the valve opening adjustment will be made
when the discharge temperature falls.

(2) When all indoor units are operating in heating mode
The fan mode may be increased when the outdoor liquid temperature drops to 44°F or below.
8-5. Snow Removal Control
When the outdoor air temperature is 50°F or below, the fan operates for 30 seconds every 2 hours in fan mode
8, even when the outdoor unit is stopped or the heat exchanger is not in use. This control is intended to prevent
snow from accumulating on stopped fans. (Because the outdoor air temperature cannot be accurately detected
when the unit is stopped, a higher outdoor air temperature is used for the control condition, in order to ensure
correct operation.)
If the fan mode becomes 0 during cooling operation, the fan mode is changed to 1.
This control is predictive control. Use a snowfall sensor as necessary according to the installation conditions.
8-6. When the Compressor Magnet Switch Seizing Alarm Occurs
Because there is the possibility that the high pressure has increased, the fan operates in Max. fan mode.
8-7. Other
This unit includes settings for high static-pressure and for Quiet mode.
For information about these settings, refer to the field application functions.
* The fan mode is always increased when the high pressure satulation temperature sensed by the pressure
sensor is 113°F or higher.
Even if the fan mode is 0 during cooling operation, the fan mode may change to 1 at regular intervals for tem-
perature protection of the inverter hybrid IC.

(1) Discharge temperature protection alarm
This device sets an upper limit discharge temperature of 222°F for all compressors. When the discharge tem-
perature reaches 222°F, that compressor is stopped and restarted. If the same high discharge condition occurs
4 times, then an alarm occurs.
After a compressor has stopped, that compressor will not operate until the temperature has dropped to or
below the start-prohibit temperature.
Discharge temperature protection list
(2) Discharge sensor trouble detection control
An alarm occurs if the discharge temperature remains abnormally high (above 158°F), when the system has
been stopped for 60 minutes.
* In this case, possible causes include sensor failure and compressor overheating caused by an insufficient
level of refrigerant.
The alarm also occurs if the sensor temperature is at or above the abnormal temperature (176°F) when 20 min-
utes have passed after the compressor stopped.
* In this case, it is possible that the discharge temperature from a different outdoor unit is being detected, due
to an error in the installation of the discharge thermistor.

Occurs when a current value of 1.5 A or less is detected
when the constant-speed compressor is operating.
If the inverter compressor operating frequency is low, the current value is also low. Therefore this alarm is

The operating current of the constant-speed compressors is always higher than 1.5 A. Therefore, this alarm
occurs as the result of an open circuit or failure.

Backup Operation
16-1. Automatic Backup Operation
This system includes a function for automatic backup operation. An alarm is also displayed to inform the operator
that a failure has occurred.
(1) Alarms that result in automatic backup operation
When compressor trouble or fan motor trouble makes emergency continued operation impossible, automatic
backup operation mode is engaged. Automatic backup mode is not engaged in cases of communications
alarms, automatic reset alarms, and other instances when emergency operation is possible by pressing the
remote controller buttons or changing other conditions.
The alarms that result in automatic backup mode are P16, P22, P26, P29, H11, H12, and H31.
(2) Start of automatic backup operation
If the above alarms occur, the alarm is displayed on the control device. Pressing the control device button again
starts automatic backup mode.
(3) Operation
[1] When 1 outdoor unit is installed
When 1 compressor has failed, backup operation is possible using the other compressors (only in the 09663
model (8 Ton)). However, operation does not occur when the outdoor fan is unable to operate as a result of
alarm P22.
[2] When multiple outdoor units are installed
When automatic backup mode is engaged, the outdoor unit where the above alarm occurred stops operating.
However, if one or more of the compressors is able to operate, then this outdoor unit operates only when the
operation of all outdoor units is required for special control (such as 4-way valve adjustment) or other system
purposes.
(4) Alarm display
If a wired remote controller is present, display blinks during operation.
(5) Canceling automatic backup operation
Repair the outdoor unit where the failure occurred. When repairs are completed, reset the power on outdoor
unit No.1.
After automatic backup mode has been engaged, it will not be canceled automatically when the repair of the
failed outdoor unit is completed. Automatic backup mode will be canceled only when the power on outdoor unit
No.1 is reset. Therefore, after repair work is completed, be sure to check whether or not automatic backup
mode has been canceled.
How to check: [1] Use test run or other means to verify that all outdoor units operate continuously.
[2] If a wired remote controller is present, check that display has disappeared.
16-2. Manual Backup
If an alarm that does not result in automatic backup occurs frequently, possible causes include failure (such as
refrigerant leakage) of a functional part at an outdoor unit other than the unit where the alarm occurs.
In this case, because the outdoor unit service valve must be closed, backup operation must be performed manually.

* If the snowfall sensor is used, then depending on the circumstances it is necessary to make the correct setting at
all outdoor units in the system.
* If “control is not performed” is set, control by the above signal is ignored. This setting is used in order to conserve
energy at outdoor units that include a snowfall-protection hood.
Recommended: If a low-speed fan mode is required (for all-year cooling or other reasons), install a snowfall-pro-
tection hood and set this setting to ON.
[1] Outdoor units where “sensor input present” is set send the snowfall sensor input information every 10 min-
utes to all linked systems if the system wiring is linked.
[2] At systems where “control is performed” is set, the above information is used to control operation of the out
door fan.

A unit identified as having a snowfall sensor attached will periodically send a signal indicating the snowfall sensor
input status to all outdoor units in the same system (or all wired outdoor units in the case of linked systems). It is
therefore unnecessary to install and wire multiple snowfall sensors.

Operation
(1) Snow fall sensor settings
(2) Control operation
In case of W-2WAY ECO-i system, control can be performed when snowfall sensor input is connected to
any outdoor unit.
Snowfall sensor input information is detected once every 10 minutes. Therefore, the outdoor fan may continue
operating for up to 10 minutes even when there is no snowfall sensor input.
In addition, the outdoor fan may remain stopped for up to 10 minutes when snowfall sensor input is present.
This system includes a simple function for judging the level of refrigerant. However, be aware that false judgments
may occur if the control elements of the outdoor unit or indoor unit fail.
(1) Starting refrigerant level judgment mode
(2) Conditions for refrigerant level judgment
* Refrigerant level judgment requires that all outdoor units operate continuously for 30 minutes or longer. This is
in order to prevent incorrect adjustment of the refrigerant level based on false detection caused by refrigerant
accumulation or recovery at stopped outdoor units, which is due to failures of functional elements.
After the judgment is displayed, repeated judgment will occur under new operating conditions if all outdoor
units continue operating. Therefore, the judgment display may change when later judgments occur.
* Judgment mode is automatically canceled after 4 hours.

General Guidelines for Insufficient Gas and Overcharge
• Symptoms of insufficient gas
• Symptoms of overcharge
There is an indoor unit where the position of the electronic control valve is much higher (open by
300 pulses or more) than it was at start, and the difference [E3 – E1] at that indoor unit is large
(30°F or more).
There is an outdoor unit where the position of the electronic control valve is much higher (open by
300 pulses or more) than it was at start, and the difference [Liquid temp. – Gas temp.] at that
outdoor unit is large (30°F or more).
The high-pressure sensor temperature is 134°F or higher, and the difference [Pressure sensor
temp. – Liquid temp.] at that outdoor unit is large (30°F or more).
There is an indoor unit where the position of the electronic control valve is much higher (open by
300 pulses or more) than it was at start, and the difference [Pressure sensor temp. – E3] at that
indoor unit is large (50°F or more).
These are only guidelines, therefore the judgment may vary depending on the installation conditions, load char-
acteristics, and other elements.

Discharged oil can be used for checking the condition of the system. Based on the appearance and color of the
discharged oil, a judgment can be made on whether the system is operating normally or not.
3-1. Discharging Oil from Oil Separator
Recover the refrigerant from the outdoor unit following the procedure given in “5. Recovering Refrigerant.” Install
hoses as indicated on the equipment and feed nitrogen gas gradually to provide pressure to the system from the
low-pressure outlet and collect oil in a pan or container. (Fig. 8)
The low-pressure outlet port is at the Lo side of the right side.
A faulty outdoor unit may remain pressurized. The oil outlet port employs a
Schrader-type push-to-release valve. Be careful to avoid accidental oil release
when using the port.
3-2. Discharging Oil in Compressor
Recover the refrigerant in the outdoor unit following the procedures in “5. Recovering Refrigerant.” Remove the
compressor and discharge the oil in it. Refer to “10. Compressor” for detailed procedures.
3-3. Checking the Oil
Acceptance/rejection criteria for the oil
It is difficult to measure the total acid value in the field, therefore oil hue and odor are the rule of thumb. Checking
for carbon deposits and abrasive metal powder can additionally be used to assess the system condition.

4. Backup Operation
W-2WAY ECO-i SYSTEM
Outdoor Unit Repair Procedures
This system includes an emergency automatic backup function that allows the A/C to operate during the period
after trouble occurs until repairs are made. However, during repair and at other times, use manual backup opera-
tion.
4-1. Automatic Backup
For details, refer to the control functions section.
After the alarm details are sent to the control device, control for automatic backup operation begins when the
ON/OFF button of the wired remote controller is pressed again (operation is started after the alarm is cleared).
During this operating mode, “CHECK” flashes on the wired remote controller only to inform the user that operation
is in backup mode. However this is not displayed on any other control devices.
• In order to cancel automatic backup mode, it is necessary to reset the power on the control PCB of the outdoor
unit where the outdoor unit No. setting (S007) on the control PCB is set to No. 1 (main unit).
(It is also available by resetting power of all the outdoor units.)
If the power is not reset on the control PCB of the No. 1 outdoor unit (main unit),
backup mode operation will continue after the repairs are completed.
Backup operation is intended as emergency operation until repairs are made. Have repairs made as soon as pos-
sible.
4-2. Manual Backup
This backup operation is the conventional method of backup operation. It involves disconnecting the failed outdoor
unit from the system, and operating only the normal outdoor units.
4-2-1. Backup operation by disconnecting the outdoor unit
(1) Changing the outdoor unit control PCB settings
• Settings at No. 1 unit (main unit)
• Settings at normal outdoor units other than the No. 1 unit
No particular changes
• Settings at the failed outdoor unit
No particular changes
However, close all service valves (gas tubes, liquid tube, and balance tube) at the failed outdoor unit, and dis-
connect the wiring between the outdoor units.

If the No. 1 unit (main unit) has failed, a different outdoor unit must be set as the No. 1 unit (main unit).
• Settings at the failed No. 1 outdoor unit
– No particular changes
– However, close all service valves (gas tube, liquid tube, balance tube) at the failed outdoor unit, and dis-
connect the wiring between the outdoor units.
• Settings at No. 1 unit (main unit)
To this outdoor unit, connect the inter-unit communication line which was previously connected to the
No. 1 unit (main unit).
After recovery work is completed, wire the communication lines between
indoor and outdoor units again. If it not finished yet, an alarm is emitted
immediately.
• Settings at other outdoor units
No particular changes.
(2) Adjusting the refrigerant for backup operation
During backup operation, all of the service valves on the failed unit are closed. However, if a check of the
backup operating conditions shows that the level of gas is low, recover the refrigerant from the failed outdoor
unit. If the level of gas is too high, collect refrigerant at the failed outdoor unit.
Recovering refrigerant
With the normal outdoor units operating, monitor the operating condition and open/close the gas tube ser-
vice valve on the failed outdoor unit where all the service valves were closed. In this way, recover refriger-
ant from the failed outdoor unit in order to adjust the amount of refrigerant in the system.
After adjusting the amount of refrigerant, close the gas tube valve at the failed outdoor unit.
Collecting refrigerant in the failed outdoor unit
• Short-circuit the vacuum application pin (CN102) on the control PCB of the failed outdoor unit where the
service valves are closed, then turn the power ON. Also disconnect the wiring between the outdoor units.
• With the normal outdoor units operating, monitor the operating condition and open/close the liquid tube ser-
vice valve on the failed outdoor unit where all the service valves were closed. In this way, collect refrigerant
in the failed outdoor unit in order to adjust the amount of refrigerant in the system.
• After adjusting the amount of refrigerant, turn OFF the power at the failed outdoor unit, release the short-
circuit at the vacuum application pin, and close the liquid tube valve at the failed outdoor unit.
* Refrigerant recovery is not affected by the power status of the failed outdoor unit. However, collecting
refrigerant in the failed outdoor unit is affected by whether the power at that outdoor unit can be turned ON.
If the power cannot be turned ON, use a refrigerant recovery device and recover the refrigerant into a
recovery cylinder in order to adjust the amount of refrigerant in the system.

5. Recovering Refrigerant
The following equipment and tools are required:
Jumper wire with clips, adjustable wrench, set of manifold gauge valves specially designed for refrigerant R410A
only, vacuum pump, refrigerant recovery unit, pre-purged refrigerant cylinder for recovery, flathead screwdriver, and
outdoor unit maintenance remote controller.
5-1. Refrigerant Recovery Procedures (from outdoor unit)
(1) Turn off the power of the outdoor unit beforehand (at power mains).
(2) Fully close each service valve on the liquid tube, gas tubes, and the balance tube of the outdoor unit.
(3) Connect the outdoor unit’s high-pressure and low-pressure outlet ports with the Hi and Lo sides of the manifold
gauge valves using hoses. (Fig. 9)
The remaining refrigerant in the faulty outdoor unit may create internal pressure.
Before connecting hoses, be sure to confirm that each of the manifold gauge
valves is tightly closed. Note that the connection ports employ Schrader-type
push-to-release valves.
(4) Connect the manifold gauge valves, refrigerant recovery unit, and recovery cylinder using hoses. To avoid the
entry of air into the refrigerant tubing, carry out this connection work carefully. (Fig. 9)
For detailed procedures such as connecting the refrigerant recovery unit with the
recovery cylinder and methods used for recovery, follow the specific instructions
that came with the refrigerant recovery unit.
(5) Locate the AP (Air Purge) pins on the control PCB in the faulty outdoor unit and short them using the clips of
the jumper wire. Then restore electrical power to the outdoor unit.
By short-circuiting the AP pins, each solenoid valve in the outdoor unit is forcibly
opened as soon as power comes on, which releases all remaining refrigerant into
the recovery cylinder. Since neglecting this procedure may leave some refrigerant
in the system, it is important that you carry out this step.
(6) Carry out refrigerant recovery.
To determine the completion of refrigerant recovery, follow the instructions that
came with the refrigerant recovery unit.

Outdoor Unit Repair Procedures
5-2. Refrigerant Recovery Procedures (Indoor Unit)
The flowchart below shows the refrigerant recovery procedures you must follow when replacing or repairing the
indoor unit due to trouble in the refrigerant circuit.
Service work performed on indoor units is done simultaneously using the service ports at the liquid (narrow tube) side
and the gas (wide tube) side ball valves. Refer to each section in the “Installation Instructions” on refrigerant charging,
leak checking, and evacuation procedures.
5-2-1. Cooling operation (for all units)
(1) If the remote controller (RCS-TM80BG) is used for maintenance of the outdoor unit
Connect the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller to the RC connector (CN006) (3P) (BLU) on any
one of the outdoor unit control PCBs. Then start a test run of all units. (Press and hold the (CHECK)
button for 4 seconds or longer.)
Press the (MODE) button and change to cooling operation and ensure that the cooling is performed.
Refer to the test run service manual for the detail of the outdoor maintenance remote controller operation.
It may be possible to determine whether operation is cooling or heating by touching the gas tubing.
Cooling : low temperature (68 °F or lower)
Heating : high temperature (140 °F or higher)
The gas tubing becomes hot (140 °F or higher) in heating mode. Be careful so as
not to be burnt when touching the tubing.

(2) If the remote controller (RCS-TM80BG) is not available for maintenance of the outdoor unit
Determine the outdoor unit where the unit No. setting (S007) (3P DIP switch) (Blue) on the outdoor unit
control PCB is set to No. 1.
Short-circuit the test-run pin (CN023) on the PCB to start test run operation.
Leave the unit running for a while, and touch the gas tubing with fingers to determine whether the unit is
running in cooling or heating mode.
If it is in heating, follow the step and later procedures.
Release the short-circuit at the test-run pin (CN023) on the outdoor unit control PCB of the No. 1 unit. Then
short-circuit the stop pin (CN104) to stop operation.
Short-circuit the mode-change pin (CN101) on the outdoor unit control PCB of the No. 1 unit.
Switching of the 4-way valve occurs immediately before operation starts. Therefore it does not change at
this time. (Mode change cannot be judged from the sound.)
Short-circuit the test-run pin (CN023) on the PCB to start test run operation. Leave the unit running for a
while, and touch the gas tubing with fingers to determine that the unit is running in cooling mode.
5-2-2. Refrigerant recovery procedures (1) (using indoor unit ball valve)
(1) If a ball valve with a service port has been provided in the indoor unit as shown in Fig. 10, follow the instructions
given in (2) through (6) below. If the service port is instead located in the outdoor side, follow the instructions in
“5-2-3. Refrigerant recovery procedures (2).”
(2) After running the unit in Cooling mode for about 5 minutes as described in “5-2-1. Cooling operation (for all
units),” fully close the liquid tube ball valve.
(3) Run the unit in Cooling mode for 10 to 20 minutes more.
(4) Fully close the gas tube ball valve, and stop the operation of all units.
(5) Use hoses to connect the manifold gauge valves, refrigerant recovery unit, and refrigerant recovery cylinder
with each other. (Fig. 10)Do each connection quickly to prevent air from entering the tubing.
Remaining refrigerant may create internal pressure, therefore care should be
taken when connecting the hoses.
(6) Recover the remaining refrigerant from the indoor unit using the refrigerant recovery unit.
To determine completion of refrigerant
recovery, follow the instructions that
came with the refrigerant recovery unit.

5. Recovering Refrigerant
W-2WAY ECO-i SYSTEM
Outdoor Unit Repair Procedures
5-2-3. Refrigerant recovery procedures (2): Indoor unit with no ball valve equipped
Refrigerant in all indoor units and the refrigerant tubing circuit must be pumped into the outdoor unit. The maximum
refrigerant storage capacity per a single outdoor unit is approx. 529 oz. Thus, in order to collect all refrigerant from
the system, a separate refrigerant recovery unit is necessary. Follow these procedures to correctly perform pump
down.
Perform work correctly, according to the work procedures given below.
Connect the manifold gauge to the high- and low-pressure outlet ports on the outdoor unit where pump down
will be performed. Be sure that no air enters the tubing at this time.
Follow the instructions in “5-2-1. Cooling operation (for all units)” and operate all units in Cooling mode for
approximately 5 minutes. Then fully close the liquid tube valve on the outdoor unit where pump down will be
performed.
When the high-pressure gauge reaches 406.1 psi or higher, or the low-pressure gauge reaches 72.5 psi or
below, at the outdoor unit where pump down is being performed, press the ON/OFF button on the outdoor unit
maintenance remote controller to stop operation at all units. Then immediately fully close the suction tube valve
on the outdoor unit where pump down is being performed.
* If the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller is unavailable, follow the procedure below to stop all of the
units.
Pull out the SCT connector (2P) (YEL) (CN231) on the outdoor unit control PCB of the unit where pump down
is being performed. When the SCT connector is pulled out, immediately alarm F12 (sensor trouble) occurs
and all outdoor units stop operating. Be sure that you do NOT grasp the lead wire when pulling out the con-
nector. Removing any other connector may not cause the units to stop. Therefore be sure to pull out the SCT
connector only.
It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant from the balance tube. Therefore do
not operate the balance tube valve.
Turn off power to all equipment in the system. Then pull out the RC1 connector (4P) (BLU) (CN106) on the out-
door control PCB in the outdoor unit for which pump down has been completed.
* By pulling out the RC1 connector, communication between the main and the sub outdoor units will be isolated.
Change the setting of controllable outdoor unit numbers (reduce by 1 unit).
* If the setting is incorrect, the E30 alarm (outdoor unit serial communication signal error) occurs and the unit
will not operate.
Turn on power for all equipment in the system and let the remaining outdoor units run in Cooling mode.
Repeat steps and and complete pump down for all outdoor units.
Using hoses with Schrader-type push-to-release valves, connect the manifold gauge valves to the suction line
service port, the discharge line service port and the liquid line service port in the next outdoor unit to undergo
pump down. (Fig. 11)
Remaining refrigerant in the system may cause internal pressure. Check that each
valve on the manifold gauge is tightly closed. A Schrader-type push-to-release
valve is provided for each connection port.
Use hoses to connect the manifold gauge valves, refrigerant recovery unit, and refrigerant recovery cylinder.
Quickly connect each part to prevent air from entering the tubing.
Recover remaining refrigerant from the inter-unit tubing and indoor units using the refrigerant recovery unit.
To determine the completion of refrigerant recovery, follow the instructions that came with the refrigerant recovery
unit.

5-3. Recovery of Refrigerant from Entire System
(1) Turn off power to the entire outdoor system.
(2) Short-circuit the AP (Air Purge) pins (CN102) on the outdoor control PCB of all outdoor units, then supply power
to the outdoor units.
* By short-circuiting the AP pins and supplying power to the outdoor units, the solenoid valve in each unit is
forcibly opened and all remaining refrigerant can be recovered.
(3) If any unit has encountered a power failure, follow the instructions in “5-1. Refrigerant Recovery Procedures
(from Outdoor Units)” and perform refrigerant recovery for the faulty outdoor unit.
(4) Connect the manifold gauge to the high- and low-pressure outlet ports (Schrader-type valves) on any outdoor
unit. (Fig. 11)
Remaining refrigerant may cause internal pressure. Check that each valve on the
manifold gauge valves is tightly closed. The connection port uses a Schrader-type
push-to-release valve.
(5) Connect the manifold gauge valves, refrigerant recovery unit, and refrigerant recovery cylinder. Quickly connect
each part to prevent air from entering the tubing.
(6) Check that each service valve of the gas tubes, liquid tube, and the balance tube for the outdoor unit has opened,
then perform refrigerant recovery.
* If only a single outdoor unit is installed, the balance tube is not used. Therefore, leave this valve closed.
To determine the completion of refrigerant recovery, follow the instructions that came with the refrigerant recovery
unit.

6. Checking for Leakage After Repair
W-2WAY ECO-i SYSTEM
Outdoor Unit Repair Procedures
6-1. Pressure Check for Leakage of Outdoor Unit
After completing repair of the outdoor unit, carry out the following leakage check.
(1) Check that all service valves for gas tubes, liquid tube, and balance tube in the repaired outdoor unit (units
necessary to carry out the pressurized leak check) are fully closed.
(2) Connect the manifold gauge valves to the high- and low-pressure outlet ports of the outdoor unit.
(3) Feed nitrogen gas into the circuit until 72.5 psi pressure is reached. If it is apparent that the nitrogen gas is not
entering the repaired section, interrupt the feeding. Short-circuit the AP pins (CN102) on the outdoor unit control
PCB, turn on power to run the outdoor unit, then resume feeding nitrogen.
(4) Apply soapy water to the repaired part (such as a newly brazed part), and briefly inspect for any leakage. If there
are any leaks, bubbles will show on the tubing surface.
* To continue the air-tight check after the brief leak inspection, turn on power while short-circuiting the AP pins.
Again feed nitrogen gas to obtain a system pressure of 72.5 psi. Then measure both the outdoor ambient
temperature and the pressure in the system. Leave the system in this state for 1 full day and night, and again
measure the outdoor ambient temperature and pressure (to determine any reduced values). During the
inspection, it is recommended that an awning or cover be used to shield the unit in case of rain. If no problem
is found, purge all nitrogen from the system.

7. Evacuating System
This procedure is carried out to ensure there is no remaining refrigerant or other gases (nitrogen, etc.) in the
repaired outdoor unit and tubing.
7-1. Evacuating Repaired Outdoor Unit
(1) Check that each service valve of the gas tubes, liquid tube, and balance tube in the outdoor unit are fully closed.
(2) Connect the manifold gauge valves to the high-pressure and low-pressure sensor outlets of the outdoor unit.
(Fig. 13)
(3) Connect the manifold gauge valves to the vacuum pump.
* If the AP pins (CN102) on the outdoor control PCB have already been short-circuited, step (4) is not neces-
sary.
(4) Turn off power to the repaired outdoor unit and short-circuit the AP (Air Purge) pins on the outdoor control PCB.
By short-circuiting the AP pins and turning on power to the outdoor unit, all elec-
tronic valves in the outdoor unit are forcibly opened and any remaining nitrogen
gas can be recovered. Failure to perform this procedure may result in nitrogen gas
remaining in the refrigerant circuit and causing operating problems. Therefore,
never skip this step.
(5) Turn the power ON at the outdoor unit where vacuum will be applied. Then run the vacuum pump and continue
evacuation until the vacuum condition falls to less than –14.7 psig (5 Torr).
To ensure proper evacuation, refer to the operating instructions that came with the
vacuum pump.

Be sure to use an exclusive oil-charging tank for charging compressor oil. Prior to charging, carry out vacuum drying
inside the tank and take care that no air (in the form of bubbles) is permitted to enter the tank.
The oil charging procedures are given below.
* The receiver tank used for maintenance may be used as an exclusive oil-charging tank.
When installing the oil-charging
tank to the refrigerant system to
serve as a safety bypass circuit for
refrigerant, connect it to the gas
tube service port carefully to
avoid releasing refrigerant into the
atmosphere.

8. Charging Compressor Oil
(2) Charging compressor oil into oil-charging tank
Connect a piece of pipe to the lower valve and then insert the other end deeply into the bottom of the oil con-
tainer. Make sure you avoid letting any air be sucked into the tube. Next, run the vacuum pump and open the
manifold gauge valves, then open the upper and lower valves to begin charging oil into the charging tank.
When the predetermined amount of oil has been charged into the oil-charging tank, immediately close the lower
valve. Next, run the vacuum pump until the system pressure reaches lower than -14.7 psig (5 Torr).
Close the upper valve and then, stop the vacuum pump.
Do this operation quickly because compressor oil easily absorbs moisture from
the air.
(3) Charging compressor oil into outdoor unit
Connect the lower valve to the low-pressure outlet (with Schrader-type push-to-release valve) in the outdoor
unit to be oil-charged, and then connect the high-pressure outlet (with push-to-release valve) to the upper valve
via the manifold gauge valves (at Hi-pressure gauge side). In addition, connect the gas tube service port (with
push-to-release valve) to the DPR (Discharge Pressure Regulator). Carry out the connection work quickly to
avoid letting air enter.
• The hoses may be subject to internal pressure from the refrigerant inside the out
door unit. A Schrader-type push-to-release valve is provided at each connection
port.
• Since the DPR valve opens at pressures of 362.6 psi and above, be sure to con-
nect the DPR to the gas tube service port (low-pressure side).

W-2WAY ECO-i SYSTEM
Outdoor Unit Repair Procedures
Next follow the instructions in “5-2-1. Cooling operation (for all units)” at the outdoor unit where oil will be charged,
and start cooling operation at all units. When the operating conditions have stabilized, perform steps 1, 2, and 3 in
sequence and open the valves. When this is done, the refrigerant pressure from operation forces the oil out of the
oil charge tank, and oil is charged into the outdoor unit from the low-pressure outlet port. From time to time close
the upper valve on the top of the oil charge tank (only this valve) and shake the tank to check the amount of
remaining oil.
To terminate the oil charging work, do as follows:
To end the charge process, first close the valve on the high-pressure side of the manifold gauge. Then wait several
tens of seconds after the pressure display on the manifold gauge low-pressure gauge stabilizes (in order to equalize
the pressure with the low-pressure outlet port and to vaporize the refrigerant in the charge tank). Then perform steps
1 and 3 in sequence and fully close the valves. Finally, connect the refrigerant recovery unit to the Lo-gauge side,
shut down all indoor and outdoor units, and then recover the remaining refrigerant in the oil-charging tank, manifold
gauge valves, and connecting hoses. Perform these procedures quickly and securely so that no air can enter.
After, charge the necessary amount of new refrigerant by referring to the “Installation Instructions” that came with the
outdoor unit.
To determine the completion of refrigerant recovery, follow the instructions that came with the refrigerant recovery
unit.
8-2. If Outdoor Unit Has Not Been Charged with Refrigerant
When a compressor has been replaced or in any other case where the outdoor unit has not been charged with
refrigerant, first charge with refrigerant then follow the instructions in “8-1. If Refrigerant Has Already Been
Charged to Outdoor Unit” and charge with oil.
Or, alternatively, follow the procedure below.
(1) Connect a tube to the oil outlet port on the outdoor unit to be charged with oil. Insert the other end of the tube
into the oil container.
(2) Follow the instructions in “7. Evacuating System,” and apply vacuum to the outdoor unit to be charged with oil.
When this is done, oil is charged into the outdoor unit through the oil outlet port.
(3) When the unit has been charged with the designated amount of oil, stop the vacuum pump.
The oil absorbs moisture readily. This work must be completed quickly.

8. Charging Compressor Oil
8-3. Charging Additional Compressor Oil (after replacing compressor)
The rated amount of oil is pre-charged in the compressors as given below:
When replacing a faulty compressor, be sure to first measure the amount of remaining oil in the compressor.
Charge additional new oil equal to the difference in the remaining oil and the rated amount as listed above.
For example: Type of replaced compressor: JT160G-KTTJ
Remaining oil in the removed compressor: 0.58 gal
Additional oil to be charged:
0.58 gal (remaining oil in the removed compressor) – 0.55 gal (rated oil amount) = 0.026 gal
* If the result is a negative amount (remaining oil in the removed compressor is less than the rated amount), it is
not necessary to discharge the extra oil from the system.
For the method used for additional oil charging after compressor replacement, refer to “8-1. If Refrigerant Has
Already Been Charged to Outdoor Unit.”

W-2WAY ECO-i SYSTEM
Outdoor Unit Repair Procedures
Required equipment and tools:
This work is performed in order to collect the refrigerant from an outdoor unit where repairs (other than compressor
replacement) will be performed into other outdoor units and indoor units, and the refrigerant tubing.
9-1. If Remote Controller (RCS-TM80BG) is Used for Maintenance of Outdoor Unit
(1) Refer to “4. Backup Operation” and perform backup operation.
(2) Connect the manifold gauge valves at the Lo side to the low-pressure outlet port of the outdoor unit to be
repaired. Also connect the refrigerant recovery cylinder to any one of the normal outdoor units at the liquid line
service port (Schrader-type push-to-release valve). Perform the connection work quickly so that no air is
allowed to enter. (Fig. 20)
* Connecting the refrigerant recovery cylinder is done to prevent pressure from rising excessively during backup
operation by recovering the refrigerant from the outdoor unit to be repaired.
(Measure the weight of the refrigerant and cylinder itself beforehand and provide sufficient safety measures,
such as installing a high-pressure cutout in the circuit.)
The hoses may be subject to internal pressure from the refrigerant inside the out-
door unit. Check that the manifold gauge valves are fully closed beforehand.
A Schrader-type push-to-release valve is provided at each connection port.
(3) Connect the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller to the RC connector (CN006) (3P) (BLU) on the out-
door unit control PCB of the outdoor unit to be repaired. Then start a test run of all units. (Press and hold the
(CHECK) button for 4 seconds or longer.)
(4) Use the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller to check the operating status of the indoor units. Check
that all units are operating in Heating mode. For details concerning operation of the outdoor unit maintenance
remote controller, refer to the “Outdoor unit maintenance remote controller” item. It is also possible to check the
operating conditions either in cooling or heating mode by touching the gas tube.
(5) Close the suction tube and balance tube on the outdoor unit to be repaired. Then slowly close the liquid tube
service valve.
(6) When the low pressure at the outdoor unit to be repaired reaches 72.5 psi or below, press the ON/OFF button
on the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller to stop all the units. Then immediately fully close the gas
tube valve on that outdoor unit.
While closing the valves, the rise in discharge temperature or another factor may
cause a protective device to activate, stopping the operation of the outdoor unit.
If this occurs, immediately fully close the gas tube valve on the outdoor unit to be
repaired.
(7) Connect the high-pressure gauge side of the manifold gauge to the high-pressure outlet port on the outdoor unit
to be repaired, and connect the manifold gauge to the refrigerant recovery device. Be sure that no air enters the
tubing at this time.

9. Pumping Out Refrigerant from Outdoor Unit
(8) Short-circuit the vacuum application pin on the outdoor unit control PCB of the unit to be repaired. Then turn ON
the outdoor unit power.
When the vacuum application pin is short-circuited and the power is turned ON, all
solenoid valves in the outdoor unit are forced open, allowing the refrigerant to be
recovered from all tubes which are separated by solenoid valves. If this work is not
performed, it will not be possible to recover all of the refrigerant at the refrigerant
recovery device. Be sure to perform this step.
Open both Hi- and Lo-side valves on the manifold gauge valves, and recover the refrigerant remaining in
the outdoor unit. After that, measure the amount of recovered refrigerant.
To determine the completion of refrigerant recovery, follow the instructions that came with the refrigerant recovery
unit.
9-2. If Remote Controller is Not Available for maintenance of Outdoor Unit
(1) Refer to “4. Backup Operation” and perform backup operation.
(2) Connect the manifold gauge valves at the Lo side to the low-pressure outlet port of the outdoor unit to be
repaired. Also connect the refrigerant recovery cylinder to any one of the normal outdoor units at the liquid line
service port (Schrader-type push-to-release valve). Perform the connection work quickly so that no air is
allowed to enter. (Fig. 20)
* Connecting the refrigerant recovery cylinder is done to prevent pressure from rising excessively during the

The hoses may be subject to internal pressure from the refrigerant inside the out-
door unit. Check that the manifold gauge valves are fully closed beforehand.
A Schrader-type push-to-release valve is provided at each connection port.
(3) Determine the outdoor unit where the unit No. setting (S007)(3P DIP switch)(BLU) on the outdoor unit control
PCB is set to No.1.
(4) Short-circuit the test-run pin (CN023) to start operation.
(5) Leave the unit running for a while, and then touch the gas tubing with fingers to determine whether the unit is
running in cooling or heating mode. If it is in heating, follow the step (6) and later procedures.
(6) When the unit is operating in heating mode, release the short-circuit at the test-run pin on the outdoor unit con-
trol PCB of the No. 1 unit. Then short-circuit the stop pin (CN104) to stop operation.
(7) Short-circuit the mode-change pin (CN101) on the outdoor unit control PCB of the No. 1 unit.
Switching of the 4-way valve occurs immediately before operation starts. Therefore it does not change at this
time. (Mode change cannot be judged from the sound.)
(8) Short-circuit the test-run pin (CN023) to start operation, leave the unit running for a while. Touch the gas tubing
with fingers to determine whether the unit is running in cooling.

10. Compressor
10-1. Compressor Trouble Diagnosis and Check Methods
Generally, compressor failures can be classified into the following categories.
(1) Mechanical trouble
(A) Locking (intrusion of foreign objects, galling, etc.)
(B) Pressure rise failure (damaged valve, seal, bearing, or other component)
(C) Noise (damaged stator rotor, valve, or other component)
(2) Electrical trouble
(A) Coil burning
(B) Open circuit
(C) Insulation failure
(D) Short circuit
Trouble diagnosis is based on the following remote controller displays: [H03] (Compressor 1: INV compressor,
center), [H11] [H12] [H13] (Compressor 2: constant-speed compressor 1, left side when viewed from front), [H21]
[H22] [H23] (Compressor 3: constant-speed compressor 2, right side when viewed from front (not present in type
90). A judgment is made based on factors that include the following: coil resistance (varies depending on the
compressor), insulation resistance, current, leakage breaker operation, oil and refrigerant fouling, odor, pressure,
and noise.
Reference: Insulation resistance (Use a DC 500 V insulation resistance meter and measure the insulation resis-
tance between the electrified and non-electrified parts.)
(a) Motor
Min. 300 M
(b) Compressor
Min. 100 M (servicing part)
(c) Unit
Min. 10 M (This is due to the presence of refrigerant, which decreases the
insulation resistance.)
* Minimum insulation resistance as required by generally accepted requirements is 1 M .
Reference: Symptoms of motor burning
1. Ground fault results in breaker operation.
2. Short circuit results in different coil resistance at different phases.

10-2-4. Dry core cleaning
If burning or other failures occur repeatedly at compressors within the same system, in many cases the cause is
acid, sludge, carbon, or other substances that remain in the refrigeration cycle as the result of insufficient cleaning.
If, when the oil is inspected, there is an outdoor unit where the oil color phase is 4.0 or higher, or where a sharp
odor is present, carry out all steps below to perform dry core cleaning.
And use the bidirectional dry core for refrigerant R410A.
(A) If a ball valve is installed on the outdoor unit
(1)
Refer to “5-2-1. Cooling operation (for all units)” and operate all outdoor units in either Heating or Cooling mode.
(2)
If all units are operated in Cooling mode, close first the liquid tube service valve then the ball valve on all out-
door units where dry cores will be attached.
If all units are operated in Heating mode, close first the ball valve then the liquid tube service valve on all out-
door units where dry cores will be attached.
This step is performed in order to expel refrigerant from the tubing between the liquid tube service valve and
the ball valve. Approximately 4 – 5 seconds is a sufficient interval between closing each of the 2 valves.
(3)
If the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller is not available, use the following method to stop the oper-
ation of all units:
Pull out the SCT connector (2P) (YEL) (CN231) from the outdoor unit control PCB of the unit where pump-down
is being performed. When the SCT connector is pulled out, alarm F12 (sensor trouble) immediately occurs and
all outdoor units stop operating. Be sure that you do NOT grasp the lead wire when pulling out the connector.
Removing any other connector may not cause the units to stop. Therefore be sure to pull out only the SCT
connector.
(4)
Connect a refrigerant recovery device to the liquid tube service port (Schrader-type valve) of all outdoor units
where dry cores will be attached, then recover the refrigerant from the tubing. Be sure that no air enters the
tubing at this time.
When the hose is connected, internal pressure is applied by the remaining refriger-
ant in the inter-unit tubing. The connection port employs a Schrader-type valve. To
determine when refrigerant recovery is compete, follow the instructions in the
instruction manual of the refrigerant recovery device.
(5)
As shown in Fig. 21, disconnect the tube that runs from the liquid tube valve to the ball valve on all outdoor
units where dry cores will be attached. Then attach the dry cores.
(6)
At all outdoor units where dry cores are attached, pressurize with 478.6 psi of nitrogen from the liquid tube
service port and check for leaks.
(7)
After evacuating all nitrogen gas from the tubing, apply vacuum from the liquid tube service port to all outdoor
units where dry cores are attached until the pressure is –14.7 psig (5 Torr) or less.
(8)
Fully open the liquid tube valve and ball valve on all outdoor units where dry cores are attached.
(9)
Operate all outdoor units for approximately 3 hours (in either Heating or Cooling mode or mixed Cooling and
Heating mode).
(10) Follow the above procedure, and replace all dry cores with new dry cores.
(11) Operate all outdoor units for approximately 20 minutes (in either Heating or Cooling mode or mixed Cooling
and Heating mode).
(12) Follow the instructions in “3. Discharging Compressor Oil” and drain a small amount of the oil from the oil
separators of all outdoor units where dry cores are attached. Check the color phase, odor, and other
characteristics.
(13) If the results show that dry core cleaning is still necessary (for example, a color phase of 4.0 or higher)*,
return to Step 11 and repeat until the results are normal (including a color phase of 3.5 or less)*.
* Color sample sheet for degree of stain
Perform another dry core replacement after approximately 30 hours of system
operation.

W-2WAY ECO-i SYSTEM
Outdoor Unit Maintenance Remote Controller
OUTDOOR UNIT MAINTENANCE REMOTE
CONTROLLER (RCS-TM80BG) for W-2WAY
ECO-i
N About the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller
The outdoor unit utilizes nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) on
its PCB. This allows EEPROM data to replace the setting
switches that were present on previous PCBs. The outdoor
unit maintenance remote controller is used to set and change
these EEPROM data.
In addition to setting and checking the outdoor unit EEPROM
data, this remote controller can also be used to monitor the
outdoor unit alarm history, monitor the various indoor and
outdoor temperatures, and check the indoor unit connection
status (number of units, operating mode, etc.).
NOTE
Outdoor unit maintenance remote controller does not function as an
ordinary remote controller. It is therefore only used for test runs and during servicing.
L The special service checker wiring is required in order to connect the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller
to the outdoor unit PCB.
L Ordinary remote controllers or other controller are still required for the indoor units, even when the outdoor unit
maintenance remote controller is connected.
