„ Function:
„ Inverter PCB gives output of 10 Hz in sequence by all 6 transistors. Remove the U/V/W
terminals of the inverter compressor, and connect to the inverter checker module. If all 6 LEDs
blink, the transistors switch correctly.
„ When the power transistor check mode is interrupted, after internal power circuit is
disconnected on the inverter PCB, 2 LEDs will light up to indicate discharge of the DC voltage.
Wait till the LEDs are OFF before returning fasten terminals back to the compressor terminals.
„ Minimum requirements to refer to the result on the inverter checker module:
„ All 3 phases and neutral are available, and
„ Inverter PCB control is active. Check if the green LED “HAP” on the inverter PCBs are blinking
normal (approx. 1/ second). If LEDs are OFF, need to exit the “standby mode” of the inverter:
„ Disconnect and reconnect power supply control PCB, or
„ Forced thermostat ON condition, or
„ Make shortly set 2-6-1 (forced thermostat ON indoor), or
„ 2-20-1 (manual refrigerant charge).
„ Once the LED is blinking on the inverter PCB, change related setting immediately back to
set 0 to deactivate related function.
„ Diode module generates the required 500 VDC.

„ Cautions:
„ In case there is more than 1 compressor in a system (outdoor is 14 HP or larger, or multi
outdoor configuration) all compressor inverter PCBs will perform the power transistor check. In
such case, disconnect U/V/W fasten terminals on all compressors. Avoid accidental touch of
fasten terminals to short-circuit or earth leak to casing.
„ To stop the power transistor check mode, change setting to default 2-28-0.
„ Output to U/V/W will also stop when outdoor unit main PCB decides standby mode of inverter
circuit.

3.3 Test Operation Procedure

The procedure below describes the test operation of the complete system. This operation checks and judges
following items:
• Check of wrong wiring (communication check with indoor units).
• Check of the stop valves opening.
• Judgement of piping length.
On top of this system test operation, indoor units operation should also be checked separately.
• Make sure to carry out the system test operation after the first installation. Otherwise, the error code U3 will be
displayed on the user interface and normal operation or individual indoor unit test run cannot be carried out.
• Abnormalities on indoor units cannot be checked for each unit separately. After the test operation is
finished, check the indoor units one by one by performing a normal operation using the user interface.
Refer to the indoor unit installation manual for more details concerning the individual test run.

INFORMATION
• It may take 10 minutes to achieve a uniform refrigerant state before the compressor starts.
• During the test operation, the refrigerant running sound or the magnetic sound of a solenoid valve may
become loud and the display indication may change. These are not malfunctions.

Procedure
1. Close all front panels in order to not let it be the cause of misjudgement (except the electrical component
box inspection opening service cover).
2. Make sure all field settings you want are set.
3. Turn ON the power to the outdoor unit and the connected indoor units.

NOTICE
Be sure to turn on the power 6 hours before operation in order to protect the compressor.

4. Make sure the default (idle) situation is existing. Push BS2 for 5 seconds or more. The unit will start test
operation.
• The test operation is automatically carried out, the outdoor unit display will indicate "t01" and the
indication "Test operation" and "Under centralized control" will display on the user interface of indoor
units.
Steps during the automatic system test run procedure:
- "t01": control before start up (pressure equalization)
- "t02": cooling start up control
- "t03": cooling stable condition
- "t04": communication check
- "t05": stop valve check
- "t06": pipe length check
- "t09": pump down operation
- " t10 ": unit stop
• During the test operation, it is not possible to stop the unit operation from a user interface. To abort the
operation, press BS3. The unit will stop after ±30 seconds.

5. Check the test operation results on the outdoor unit segment display.
- Normal completion: no indication on the segment display (idle)
- Abnormal completion: indication of error code on the segment display
Take actions for correcting the abnormality. When the test operation is fully completed, normal
operation will be possible after 5 minutes.
