(2) Cautions for refrigerant piping work New refrigerant R410A is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R410A is same as for R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the working pressure of R410A is 1.6 time higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.

1. Refrigerant collecting (pump down) Perform the following procedures to collect the refrigerant when moving the indoor unit or the outdoor unit. 1Before collecting the refrigerant, first make sure that the all of the SW5 DIP switches for function changes on the control board of the outdoor unit are set to OFF.
TROUBLESHOOTING 10-1. TROUBLESHOOTING <Error code display by self-diagnosis and actions to be taken for service (summary)> Present and past error codes are logged and displayed on the wired remote controller and control board of outdoor unit.
