WORKING STANDARDS FOR PREVENTING BREAKAGE OF SEMICONDUCTORS
1. Scope
The standards provide for items to be generally observed in carrying and handling semiconductors in
relative manufactures during maintenance and handling thereof. (They apply the same to handling of
abnormal goods such as rejected goods being returned.)

2. Object parts
(1) Microcomputer

(2) Integrated circuits (I.C.)

(3) Field effective transistor (F.E.T.)

(4) P.C. boards or the like to which the parts mentioned in (1) and (2) of this paragraph are equipped.

3. Items to be observed in handling


(1) Use a conductive container for carrying and storing of parts. (Even rejected goods should be handled in
the same way.)
IC
A conductive polyvinyl bag

UV
,188
1TH1
IC40
CH I
HITA

Fig. 1 Conductive container


(2) When any part is handled uncovered (in counting, packing and the like), the handling person must
always use himself as a body earth. (Make yourself a body earth by passing one M ohm earth
resistance through a ring or bracelet.)

(3) Be careful not to touch the parts with your clothing when you hold a part even if a body earth is
being taken.

(4) Be sure to place a part on a metal plate with grounding.

(5) Be careful not to fail to turn off power when you repair the printed circuit board. At the same time,
try to repair the printed circuit board on a grounded metal plate.

Use a high insulation mode (100V, 10MΩ or higher) when ordinary iron is to be used.

(7) In checking circuits for maintenance, inspection, or some others, be careful not to have the test probes
of the measuring instrument short circuit a load circuit or the like.

! CAUTION

1. In quiet or stop operation, slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle is heard occasionally,
but this noise is not abnormal for the operation.

2. When it thunders near by, it is recommend to stop the operation and turn off the circuit breaker for safety.

3. In the event of power failure,the room air conditioner will restare automatically in the previously selected
mode once the power is restored. In the event of power failure during TIMER operation, the room air comditioner
will not start automatically. Re-press ON/OFF button after 3 minutes from when the unit off or power recovery.

4. If the room air conditioner is stopped by adjusting thermostat, or missoperation, and re-start in a moment,
there is occasion that the cooling and heating operation does not start for 3 minutes, it is not abnormal and
this is the result of the operation of IC delay circuit. This IC delay circuit ensures that there is no danger of
blowing fuse or damaging parts even if operation is restarted accidentally.

5. This room air conditioner should not be used at the cooling operation when the outside temperature is
below -10°C (14°F).

6. This room air conditioner (the reverse cycle) should not be used when the outside temperature is below
–20°C (5°F).
If the reverse cycle is used under this condition, the outside heat exchanger is frosted and efficiency falls.

7. When the outside heat exchanger is frosted, the frost is melted by operating the hot gas system, it is not
trouble that at this time fan stops and the vapour may rise from the outside heat exchanger.

・Before checking the application of current to the reversing valve (4-way Valve), disconnect the connector (CN2) and measure
the resistance of both ends of the connector, to see if it is [2500Ω±10%]. Only when the resistance is normal, check the
application of current using the following procedures.
If the resistance is abnormal, it is caused by either; breakage of a lead wire, or failure of the reversing valve (4-way Valve).

・At the voltage measurement timing, when the voltage is measured with a tester, if the tester indicates the values as shown in
the table above, the circuit is functioning normally. (Each tester indicates values differently. Since it is often difficult to read
the values of a digital tester, it is recommended to measure voltage with an analog tester.)
※Since the current is applied only twice in 1 sec, if the timing is missed, correct operations cannot be measured.
※If the main body of the reversing valve (4-way Valve) is functioning normally, it clicks twice synchronously with the voltage
measurement timing.
If this sound is heard, the reversing valve (4-way Valve) is functioning normally.
※If the checking of the application of current becomes abnormal, it is a failure of an electrical part.

DISCHARGE, PROCEDURE AND POWER SHUT OFF METHOD FOR
POWER CIRCUIT

WARNING
Caution
Voltage of about 350 V is charged between the terminal of smoothing capacitors.
During continuity check for each circuit part of the outdoor unit, be sure to discharge the smoothing
capacitors.

Discharge Procedure
1. Turn off the power.
2. After power is turned off, wait for 10 minutes or more. Then, remove electrical parts cover
and apply soldering iron of 30 to 75 W for 15 seconds or more to IPM(24) and IPM(20)
terminals on the main P.W.B. as shown in the figure below, in order to discharge voltage

Troubleshooting support

Ĉ Function Description

・The failure mode detected on the outdoor unit side is displayed by


ǂblinking the "LD301". Detecting a failure will stop the outdoor unit
 [Display on the
outdoor unit side] ǂand keep blinking the LD301 until it is restarted.
ǂ(The communication error will persist until the communication is
ǂreestablished.)

 Self-diagnosis memory ・The failure modes detected on the indoor and outdoor unit sides
are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the indoor unit and can be
read later on.
ǂ(The memory will remain even after power-off.)
・The failure modes detected on the outdoor unit side are written in
memory every time any such mode occurs. The failure mode can
therefore be detected on the indoor unit side without waiting for
the retry frequency to reach the display of the indoor unit lamp.
Moreover, the normal self-diagnosis display function which rarely
occurs will store and display failure modes that do not end up
displaying the indoor unit lamp.
ǂ(Any such mode may be unable to be stored if indoor or outdoor
communications is in a failure.)
・The product stores 5 last-stored failure modes.
・There is a function for deleting memory. Once you clear the
memory and run the product for several days, you can read the
failure modes and check them, thereby detecting the less
frequent failure phenomena.
・Failure modes can be checked by both the blinking of the lamp of
the indoor unit and the display of the remote control liquid crystal
display.

ĆThe "self-diagnosis function of the communication circuit" available in our conventional models is now incorporated
as part of the normal self-diagnosis function. In the case of a failure in the communication circuit, you do not have
to conduct a special operation and the operations can be automatically divided into 3 blinking operations and 12
blinking operations of the timer lamp. However, a strong external noise may have resulted in 12 times of blinking.

How to run the product with the outdoor unit test switch

If the indoor electrical parts is out of order and if you wish to run the outdoor unit

1. Turn on the outdoor terminal boards L and N (220-230 V AC).


2. Confirm that the "LD301" blinks once from the terminal side of the outdoor unit. Afterwards (when about 30 sec elapses
after the power turns on), confirm that the "LD301" changes to blinking 9 times (communication error).
3. When the "LD301" is blinks 9 times, if you press the test switch, the "LD301" lights up.
If you release your finger from the test switch within 1 sec to 5 sec after pressing the switch, the forced cooling operation starts.
※(If you press the test switch for 5 sec or longer, the self-check diagnosis starts. In this case, turn the power off and start the procedure from 1 again.)

※(For the initialization of the expansion valve, it may take 1 min until the operation starts.)
4. When you press the test switch again for 1 sec or longer, the unit stops the operation.

43
Cautions
1. Applying power directly to the outdoor unit will cause a rush current to stress the outdoor unit.
Therefore, if the indoor unit is not out of order, do not use the method descried in 2).
2. Before making the connections, be sure to turn off the breaker.
3. Do not under any circumstances run the product for more than 5 minutes.
4. Doing work with the compressor connector removed will cause the LD301 to blink 4 times.
It will not start.
5. For another test run, turn off the breaker and turn it back on. (The test switch is accepted only
once after power-on. After operation by remote control, it is not accepted.)
6. When the operation with the test switch is over, turn off the breaker and set the connectors back.
