• After completing installation, test the unit to check for installation errors. Give the user adequate instructions concerning the
use and cleaning of the unit according to the Operation Manual.
! WARNING
• Installation should be performed by the dealer or another professional.
Improper installation may cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
• Install the heat pump according to the instructions given in this manual.
Incomplete installation may cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
• Use only the supplied or specified installation parts.
Use of other parts may cause the unit to come lose, water leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
• Install the heat pump on a solid base that can support the unit’s weight.
An inadequate base or incomplete installation may cause injury in the event the unit falls off the base.
• Electrical work should be carried out in accordance with the installation manual and national/local electrical wiring codes and
rules of practice.
Insufficient capacity or incomplete electrical work may cause electrical shock or fire.
• Use a dedicated power circuit. Never use a power supply shared by another appliance.
• For wiring, use a cable long enough to cover the entire distance with no splices.
Do not use an extension cord. Do not put other loads on the power supply, use a dedicated power circuit.
(Failure to do so may cause abnormal heat, electric shock or fire.)
• Use only the specified wire types for electrical connections between the indoor and outdoor units.
Firmly clamp the interconnecting wires so they receive no external stresses. Incomplete connections or clamping may cause terminal over-
heating or fire.
• After completing interconnecting and supply wiring connections, shape the cables so that they do not put undue force on the
electrical covers or panels.
Install covers over the wires. Incomplete cover installation may cause terminal overheating, electrical shock, or fire.
• If any refrigerant has leaked out during the installation work, ventilate the room.
(The refrigerant produces a toxic gas if exposed to flame.)
• After all installation is complete, check for and repair any system refrigerant leaks.
(The refrigerant produces a toxic gas if exposed to flames.)
•When installing or relocating the system, keep the refrigerant circuit free from substances other than the specified
refrigerant (R410A), such as air.
(The presence of air or other foreign substance in the refrigerant circuit causes an abnormal pressure rise or rupture, resulting in injury.)
• During pump-down, stop the compressor before removing the refrigerant piping.
If the compressor is still running, and the stop valve is open during pump-down, air will be sucked into the system while the compressor is
running. This will cause abnormal pressure and noncondensables added to the system.
• Be sure to establish a ground. Do not ground the unit to a utility pipe, arrester, or telephone earth.
An complete earth may cause electrical shock, or fire. A high surge current from lightning or other sources may
cause damage to the heat pumpheat pump.

! CAUTION
• Do not install the heat pump in a place where there is danger of exposure to flammable gas.
If the gas builds up around the unit, it may catch fire.
• Install drain piping according to the instructions of this manual.
Inadequate piping may cause flooding.
•Tighten the flare nut according to the specified torque using a torque wrench.
If the flare nut is overtightened, the flare nut may eventually crack and cause refrigerant leakage.
• Provide adequate measures to prevent the outdoor unit from being used as a shelter by rodents.
Rodents making contact with electrical parts can cause malfunctions, smoke or fire. Please instruct the customer to keep the area around
the unit clean.

Outdoor Unit Introduction
ENGLISH

The outdoor unit features a variable speed, rotary type compressor that delivers refrigerant
flow to up to 4 individual indoor units. The system uses R-410A refrigerant mixed with PVE
oil, and is 208/230 VAC, 60 Hz, single phase.

Compatible indoor units are High wall, Cassette, and Ducted with remote control, cassette
with either remote or wired control, and ducted with wired control only.

The indoor units will maintain individualized room temperatures as set on each controller,
provided all units are in the same mode. If the first unit to be turned on is set to the heating
mode, all units will heat. If the first unit to be turned on is set to the cooling mode, all units will
cool.

2 A Reactor Coil is connected to the IPM at terminals

RI and RO. The Reactor Coil will filter electrical noise
generated at high frequency operation that could
cause damage to the compressor windings.

3 IPM generates a large amount of heat during operation.

This heat is transfered to a heat sink behind the board, 2
then mixed with the outdoor air. The Tm temperature
sensor protects the IPM from excessive temperatures.

On a call for cooling, the indoor unit will send the room temperature and set-point requirement to the outdoor unit PCB via the
data signal wire path. The indoor louvers will open and the indoor fan motor will start.

The outdoor unit will energize the EEVs that are controlling refrigerant flow to the calling indoor units. The position of the EEVs
will be set to an initial position based upon the outdoor air temperature.

The 4-way valve is de-energized. After a 3-minute time delay, the outdoor fan motor will be energized. Shortly after the outdoor
fan motor turns on, the compressor will start in low frequency. The operating frequency of the compressor will be displayed on
the Service Monitor Board.

3 Temperature Sensor Ta

The outdoor air temperature will be monitored by the PCB.

If the outdoor air temperature rises or falls, the speed of the
outdoor fan may be changed.

4 Temperature Sensor Tc2

The Liquid Pipe Sensor will monitor the temperature of the

refrigerant leaving the EEV.

The low pressure low temperature refrigerant will enter the

mixed phase liquid line and travel to the indoor unit. Heat from
the indoor air passing across the evaporator coil will transfer
to the cold refrigerant, sending cool air into the space and
changing the liquid refrigerant into a cool vapor.
The cold vapor will travel down the vapor line and return to the
outdoor unit via a path through the gas stop valve.

5 Temperature Sensor Tc1

The Gas Pipe Sensor will monitor the temperature of the gas
pipe to calculate the difference between Liquid Pipe Tem-
perature and Gas Pipe Temperature. If a change in EEV port
opening size is needed, the EEV will make a small adjustment.

The vaporized refrigerant enters the 4-way valve and travels

to the vapor line accumulator. The accumulator will trap any
liquid refrigerant if present to prevent it from entering the
compressor.

On a call for heating, the indoor unit will send the room temperature and set-point requirement to the outdoor unit PCB via the
data signal wire path. The indoor unit louvers will open. The fan will not start until the coil has warmed sufficiently to avoid cold
drafts.

EEVs serving indoor circuits will step to the standard opening. The outdoor EEV opens to a position based upon the outdoor air
temperature.

The 4-way valve will energize and the outdoor fan will start. The compressor starts at a slow speed and will increase based upon
demand. The indoor fan starts after the indoor coil is warm enough to avoid circulating cool air.

With the compressor operating, refrigerant will begin to flow throughout the refrigeration circuit.

The operating frequency of the compressor will be displayed on the Service Monitor Board.

The indoor heat exchanger temperature sensor will monitor

the temperature of the indoor coil to ensure it is hot
enough to prevent blowing cold air. Once adequately warm
temperature is sensed at the indoor coil, the PCB will increase
the fan speed if needed to meet the demand.

The hot gas entering the indoor coil will condense into a
saturated mix and then be subcooled. The refrigerant will
return to the outdoor unit via the liquid line.

3 Temperature Sensor Tc2

This sensor monitors the temperature of the refrigerant liquid

returning from the indoor coil. The indoor EEV opening angle
is fixed.

The liquid will enter the Liquid Line Strainer and will pass
through the OPEN EEV.

The refrigerant liquid now enters a receiver where excess

refrigerant will be stored.

After the liquid leaves the Liquid Receiver, it will enter the
restriction of the OUTDOOR UNIT’s EEV, which changes the
liquid refrigerant to a lower pressure and temperature as it
enters the outdoor coil.

4-Way Valve Heating Control

There is a 1-minute delay before power is applied to the 4-way valve to switch the flow of hot refrigerant to the indoor coil when
the compressor starts in the heating mode. A 3-minute delay will occur before the 4-way valve is powered down and switches
back to the at-rest (cooling) position when the call for heat is satisfied and the compressor shuts off.

Compressor Sump Heater

The sump (crankcase) heater keeps refrigerant at a higher temperature than the coldest part of the system. This prevents
refrigerant from mixing with the compressor oil and also dries condensed refrigerant inside the sump. The sump heater will be
energized when the ambient temperature is below 81°F/27°C and will be off when the ambient is 90°F/32°C.

Defrost Control

ENGLISH
In the heating mode and along with the ambient sensor, the defrost sensor monitors the temperature of the outdoor coil to
determine if defrost is needed. If the compressor has been running for 10 minutes continuously and for 45 minutes overall, the
difference between the ambient sensor (Ta) and the defrost sensor (Te) will be checked. The system will initiate the defrost cycle
if the following conditions can be met for 5 continuous minutes:

Te ≤ C x Ta-A
Te: Defrost temperature sensor
Ta: Ambient temperature
C: 0.80 if Ta < 32°F/0°C 0.60 if Ta ≥ 32°F/0°C
A: 8, moderate climate (factory setting) 6, severe climate (alternate setting)

End defrosting: The defrost cycle will terminate if the defrost sensor (Te) detects the temperature of the outdoor coil is above
44oF(7oC) for 60 seconds or is above 54oF(12oC) for 30 seconds. The defrost cycle will automatically terminate in 10 minutes if
these temperatures cannot be reached.

Timed defrost option:

• When the outdoor ambient temperature sensor detects Ta is less than 32oF(0oC)
• In heating mode, compressor runs continuously for 60 minutes or for 240 minutes in all.
The system will defrost when the above conditions are met. Defrosting frequency is 68 HZ, with a defrosting time of 8 minutes.

Base Pan Heater Control Logic

When the compressor starts in the heating mode, the following conditions will apply:

Outdoor Temperature Pan Heater

o o
>37 F(3 C) OFF
o o o o
28 F(-2 C) to 34 F(1 C) OFF 20min. ON 10min.
10oF(-12oC) to 25oF(-4oC) OFF 15min. ON 15min.
o o
<10 F(-12 C) ON

Troubleshooting the base pan heater error:

STEP1: Check the pan heater for an open circuit or shirt circuit. Unplug the connector from main control PCB. Test the
resistance between the two pins of the pan heater connector. It should be 0.28-0.379KΩ. If out of range, change the pan heater.
If normal go step 2.

STEP 2: Check the main control board pan heater output port . Unplug the connector from main control PCB. Run the ODU with
manually forced heating (Set the display board SW 1-1 as ON). Test the voltage between the two pins at CN4, it should be 208-
230Vac.

Low Pressure Protection

ENGLISH

The compressor will stop running if the low pressure switch opens for one minute.
The compressor will lock out and a low pressure error code will be displayed at the indoor unit if this condition occurs 3 times in an
hour. A low pressure error code will be displayed if the compressor is not running and the switch opens for 30 seconds.

The low pressure switch does not stop compressor operation or signal an error code during the following conditions:
• The first 8 minutes of run time when the compressor starts a new cycle
• During defrost
• When the ambient temperature is below 32°F/0°C
• Following the termination of an oil return cycle

Low pressure protection is provided by the coil temperature sensors in both heating (Te) and cooling (Tc2) modes when any of
the above 4 conditions are present.

4-Way Valve
ENGLISH

The 4-way valve will control the direction of hot gas discharge via
an internal slide assembly. The valve has a line voltage solenoid
that is energized in heat mode. The solenoid will direct the internal
slide to send the hot gas to the indoor coil. During cooling mode
de-energized operation, the internal slide will direct compressor
hot gas to the outdoor coil.

4-way valves may have a failure of the electrical solenoid that

prevents the valve from shifting, or they may become stuck due to
debris lodging inside the valve body. If the valve fails to direct the
hot gas in the proper direction, temperature sensors within the
outdoor unit will detect the problem and generate an error code.

Perform the following if the valve fails to shift the hot gas to the proper coil, or it only partially shifts:

1 Check for correct refrigerant charge, and that all other operating parameters have been met.

2 The solenoid will shift after a short time delay in the heating mode. Check for line voltage to the solenoid coil.

3
Shut the system down and unplug the 4-way valve from the PCB plug if the valve has voltage but fails to shift the hot gas
to the indoor coil.

4 Use an ohmmeter to check continuity through the solenoid coil. If the coil resistance does not match the chart in this
manual, or if a winding shows open or shorted, the solenoid coil must be replaced.

5 Use a magnet along the valve body to determine the location of the piston if the coil resistance is within the tolerance. It is
stuck and the valve must be replaced if one end of the piston is against the end of the valve body.

6 Partial shifting of the valve can be detected by measuring the temperature of the suction gas where it enters the
reversing valve and then comparing that temperature to the temperature of the suction gas exiting the 4-way valve.
There should be no more than 3F difference. Excessive temperature rise through the suction gas path is an indication of
a stuck piston. The valve will require replacement if the piston will not become free by switching from heating to cooling
several times, a slight tapping on the valve body, or by using a powerful magnet.

Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV)

1 Check to see if the Electronic expansion valve (EEV) connector is correctly and firmly inserted in the PCB.

2 Cycle the power off, then back on

3
Check to see whether the EEV produces a repositioning sound. This sound will start after approx 2 min. Disconnect
the connector and check the resistance (refer to resistance tables on following page) if the EEV doesn’t make the
repositioning sound.

4 The PCB may be at fault if the resistance is OK.

Temperature Sensor Error Codes

The easiest problems to solve will involve codes that are related to potential failure of temperature sensors. Common problems
may include loose connections, open or shorted, and out of calibration. Checking the condition of the sensors requires a
temperature probe and an ohmmeter.

The Reference Section of this manual contains temperature resistance tables that can be used to check the calibration of the
sensors. The measured resistance must be within the tolerances located in the tables.

There are 16 potential Error Codes that can be generated by the PCB to indicate a failure of an outdoor unit temperature sensor.
