The unit must be periodically inspected by a dealer or qualified personnel. If dust or dirt accumulates inside the unit, the drain pipes may become clogged, and water leakage from the pipes may wet the surroundings and generate odours.

[7] Additional Precautions Additional Precautions Be sure to recover the refrigerant from the unit in accordance with local regulations before disposing of the unit. Provide a maintenance access hole on the piping in the ceiling and underground pip- ing. Take appropriate measures against electri- cal noise interference when installing the unit in hospitals or radio communication fa- cilities.

[1-1 Preparation for Piping Work ] Preparation for Piping Work 1 Check Before Servicing 1-1-1 Read before Servicing 1. Check the type of refrigerant used in the system to be serviced. Refrigerant Type Packaged air conditioner for computer room application PFD series: R410A Note: The unit can be operated only in the cooling mode when combined with PFD series.
[1-1 Preparation for Piping Work ] 1-1-2 Tool Preparation Prepare the following tools and materials necessary for installing and servicing the unit. Tools for use with R410A (Adaptability of tools that are for use with R22 or R407C) 1. To be used exclusively with R410A (not to be used if used with R22 or R407C) Tools/Materials Notes Gauge Manifold...
[1-2 Handling and Characteristics of Piping Materials, Refrigerant, and Refrigerant Oil ] Handling and Characteristics of Piping Materials, Refrigerant, and Refrigerant Oil 1-2-1 Piping Materials Do not use the existing piping! 1. Copper pipe materials O-material (Annealed) Soft copper pipes (annealed copper pipes). They can easily be bent with hands. 1/2H-material (Drawn) Hard copper pipes (straight pipes).
Page 15
[1-2 Handling and Characteristics of Piping Materials, Refrigerant, and Refrigerant Oil ] 4. Thickness and refrigerant type indicated on the piping materials Ask the pipe manufacturer for the symbols indicated on the piping material for new refrigerant. 5. Flare processing (O-material (Annealed) and OL-material only) The flare processing dimensions for the pipes that are used in the R410A system are larger than those in the R22 system.
[1-2 Handling and Characteristics of Piping Materials, Refrigerant, and Refrigerant Oil ] 1-2-2 Storage of Piping Materials 1. Storage location Store the pipes to be used indoors. (Warehouse at site or owner's warehouse) If they are left outdoors, dust, dirt, or moisture may infiltrate and contaminate the pipe. 2.
[1-2 Handling and Characteristics of Piping Materials, Refrigerant, and Refrigerant Oil ] 1-2-4 Characteristics of the New and Conventional Refrigerants 1. Chemical property As with R22, the new refrigerant (R410A) is low in toxicity and chemically stable nonflammable refrigerant. However, because the specific gravity of vapor refrigerant is greater than that of air, leaked refrigerant in a closed room will accumulate at the bottom of the room and may cause hypoxia.
[1-2 Handling and Characteristics of Piping Materials, Refrigerant, and Refrigerant Oil ] 1-2-5 Refrigerant Oil 1. Refrigerating machine oil in the HFC refrigerant system HFC type refrigerants use a refrigerating machine oil different from that used in the R22 system. Note that the ester oil used in the system has properties that are different from commercially available ester oil.
[1-3 Working with Refrigerant Piping ] Working with Refrigerant Piping 1-3-1 Pipe Brazing No changes have been made in the brazing procedures. Perform brazing with special care to keep foreign objects (such as oxide scale, water, and dust) out of the refrigerant system. Example: Inside the brazed connection Use of no inert gas during brazing Use of inert gas during brazing...
[1-3 Working with Refrigerant Piping ] 1-3-2 Air Tightness Test No changes have been made in the detection method. Note that a refrigerant leak detector for R22 will not detect an R410A leak. Halide torch R22 leakage detector 1. Items to be strictly observed Pressurize the equipment with nitrogen up to the design pressure (4.15MPa[601psi]), and then judge the equipment's air tight- ness, taking temperature variations into account.
[1-3 Working with Refrigerant Piping ] 1-3-3 Vacuum Drying (Photo1) 15010H (Photo2) 14010 Recommended vacuum gauge: ROBINAIR 14010 Thermistor Vacuum Gauge 1. Vacuum pump with a reverse-flow check valve (Photo1) To prevent the vacuum pump oil from flowing into the refrigerant circuit during power OFF or power failure, use a vacuum pump with a reverse-flow check valve.
[1-3 Working with Refrigerant Piping ] 1-3-4 Refrigerant Charging Cylinder with a siphon Cylinder without a siphon Cylin- Cylin- Cylinder color R410A is pink. Refrigerant charging in the liquid state Valve Valve liquid liquid 1. Reasons R410A is a pseudo-azeotropic HFC blend (boiling point R32=-52°C[-62°F], R125=-49°C[-52°F]) and can almost be handled the same way as a single refrigerant, such as R22.
[1-4 Precautions for Wiring ] Precautions for Wiring Control boxes house high-voltage and high-temperature electrical parts. They may still remain energized or hot after the power is turned off. When opening or closing the front cover of the control box, keep out of contact with the internal parts. Before inspecting the inside of the control box, turn off the power, leave the unit turned off for at least 10 minutes, and check that the voltage across pins 1 and 5 of connector RYPN has dropped to 20 VDC or less.
Page 24
[1-4 Precautions for Wiring ] 2) Check the wires are securely fastened to the screw terminals. Screw the screws straight down so as not to damage the screw threads. Hold the two round terminals back to back to ensure that the screw will screw down straight. After tightening the screw, mark a line through the screw head, washer, and terminals with a permanent marker.
[1-5 Cautionary notes on installation environment and maintenance ] Cautionary notes on installation environment and maintenance Salt-resistant unit is resistant to salt corrosion, but not salt-proof. Please note the following when installing and maintaining outdoor units in marine atmosphere. 1) Install the salt-resistant unit out of direct exposure to sea breeze, and minimize the exposure to salt water mist. 2) Avoid installing a sun shade over the outdoor unit, so that rain will wash away salt deposits off the unit.

[5-2 Outdoor Unit Control ] 5-2-6 Frequency Control Depending on the capacity required, the frequency of the compressor is controlled to keep constant evaporation temperature (0°C [32°F] = 0.71 MPa [103 psi]) during cooling operation. The table below summarizes the operating frequency ranges of the inverter compressor during normal operation. The OS in the multiple-outdoor-unit system operates at the actual compressor frequency value that is calculated by the OS based on the preliminary compressor frequency value that the OC determines.
[5-2 Outdoor Unit Control ] 5-2-8 Outdoor Unit Fan Control (1) Control method Depending on the capacity required, the rotation speed of the outdoor unit fan is controlled by the inverter, targeting a constant evaporation temperature of (0°C [32°F]= 0.71 MPa [103 psi]) during cooling operation. The OS in the multiple-outdoor-unit system operates at the actual outdoor unit fan control value that is calculated by the OS based on the preliminary outdoor unit fan control value that the OC determines.

[5-2 Outdoor Unit Control ] 5-2-19 System Rotation Control Instructions 1. General Descriptions Each group can consist of a maximum of 5 systems and a minimum of 2 systems. With the use of this control function, one system in a given group serves as a backup and remains stopped. The unit designated as the control unit (System 1 in Figure 1) sends command signals to other units in the group to start or stop, and rotates the backup unit every 480 hours.
Page 107
[5-2 Outdoor Unit Control ] (1) Rotation Group Setting Group setting is required to enable the system rotation control function. Group setting must be made after the setup sequence for all applicable indoor and outdoor units have been completed. By turning the Dip SW4 (930) from OFF to ON on the outdoor unit with the lowest odd number address in a given group while the unit is stopped, this unit is designated as the control unit.

[5-3 Indoor Unit Control ] Indoor Unit Control <Indoor unit control> There are two controller circuit boards with two refrigerant circuits inside the indoor unit of 20 HP. There is one controller circuit board with one refrigerant circuit. Each refrigerant circuit is controlled independently (in case of one refrigerant circuit, one-to-one control of indoor unit and outdoor unit) in the following method.
