fire or electric shock due to dust, water etc.
Do not touch, operate, or repaire the product with wet hands. Hoding the plug by
hand when taking out. Otherwise there is risk of electric shock or fire.
Use a vacuum pump or Inert (nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge.
Do not compress air or Oxygen and Do not use Flammable gases. Otherwise, it
may cause fire or explosion.
- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.
Do not turn on the breaker or power under condition that front panel, cabinet, top
cover, control box cover are removed or opened.
Otherwise, it may cause fire, electric shock, explosion or death.
Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit
should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment
authority, which authorises their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accor-
dance with an industry recognised assessment specification.
Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufactur-
er. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall
be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flam-
mable refrigerants.
Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk
of a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
General work area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on
the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided.
The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions
within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.
• Pipe-work shall be protected from physical damage and shall not be installed in
an unventilated space, if that space is smaller than
1) The minimum floor area : 49.4 m2
2) The maximum refrigerant charge amount : 2.4 kg
Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before break-
ing into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall contin-
ue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely dis-
perse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmos-
phere.
Cabling Check
Cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp
edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into
account the effects of ageing or continual vibration from sources such as compres-
sors or fans.
The appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corre-
sponds to the room area as specified for operation
The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating open
flames (for example an operating gas appliance) and ignition sources (for example
an operating back up heater).
When mechanical connectors are reused indoors, sealing parts shall be renewed.
When flared joints are reused indoors, the flare part shall be re-fabricated.
Pipe-work shall be protected from physical damage and shall not be installed in an
unventilated space, if that space is smaller than -
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not pierce or burn.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
Periodic(more than once/year) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the
heat exchangers by using water.
Dismantling the unit, treatment of the refrigerant oil and eventual parts should be
done in accordance with local and national standards.
CAUTION
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.
The appliance shall be disconnected from its power source during service and
when replacing parts.
The noe hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and that old hose-
sets should not be reused.
WARNING
Check to see if the terminal block is not dirty or loose. If terminal block 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 out-
let 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
CAUTION
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 plat-
form or frame can cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.
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 user’s side.
Check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair. If drainage is faulty the water
to enter the room and wet floor.

Max temp
Duration time
- Hysteresis : temperature gap from target DHW temperature. This value is required to prevent frequent On and
Off of booster heater
- Heating priority : Determining heating demand priority between DHW tank heating and under floor heating.
- Example : If user’s target temperature is set as ’70’ and Hysteresis is set as ‘3’, then the booster heater will be
turned off when the water temperature is above 73 °C. The booster heater will be turned on when the water
temperature is below 70 °C.
- Example : If Heating priority is set as ‘DHW’, that means heating priority is on DHW heating, DHW is heated by
AWHP compressor cycle and booster heater. In this case the under floor can not be heated while DHW heating.
On the other hand, if the Heating priority is set as ‘Floor heating’, that means heating priority is on under floor
heating, DHW tank is ONLY heated by booster heater. In this case the under floor heating is not stopped while
DHW is heated.

system is not working. System protective operation
is, as letter says, for the purpose of securing the
system from worse condition. Anti-freezing opera-
tion, for example, is one of the protective operation.
It is essential to start protective operation to prevent
potential malfunction and to keep possible acci-
dents. On the other hand, background water tank
heating operation is not protective operation but to
supply warm water to end-user. The background
water tank heating operation is only started when
the water tank temperature is under the specific

Note
1) If using a portable tester when checking the output voltage of the inverter is constant (when comparing relative
voltage between lines), always use an analog tester. Especially exercise particular caution if the output frequen-
cy of the inverter is low, when using a movable tester, where change of measured voltage values is large
between other lines, when virtually same values appear actually or where there is danger to determine that fail-
ure of the inverter occurred.
2) You can use rectification voltmeter ( ) if using commercial frequency tester when measuring output values of
the inverter (when measuring absolute values). Accurate measuring values cannot be obtained with a general
portaable tester (For analog and digital mode).
4) For failure of circuit board Replace the circuit board in following procedures if
problems occur again when powering on and if there
are no matters equivalent to items as specified in
above 1) through 4).
(Carefully check both connector and grounding
wires when replacing the circuit board.)
1. Replace only fan control boards.
If starting is done, it means that the fan control
board has defect.
2. Replace both fan control board and the main
board.
If starting is done, it means that the main board
has defect.
3. If problems continue to occur even after counter-
measure of No.1 and No.2, it means that both
boards has defect.
• Classified trouble
- Trouble is classified two levels according to the seriousness of the problem : Slight trouble and heavy trouble
- Slight trouble : In most case, this trouble is concerned with sensor problems. The outdoor unit is operating
under emergency mode operation condition which is configured by DIP switch No. 4 of the Main
PCB Assembly 1.
- Heavy trouble : As the outdoor unit has problem, the emergency mode operation is performed by back up
heater
- Option trouble : a problem is found for option operation such as water tank heating. In this trouble, the troubled
option is assumed as if it is not installed at the system.
