2. If it is necessary to replace any parts, they should be replaced with respective genuine parts for the unit, and
the replacement must be effected in correct manner according to the instructions in the Service Manual of
the unit.
6. Tools and measuring instruments for use in repairs or inspection should be accurately calibrated in advance.
7. In installing the unit having been repaired, be careful to prevent the occurence of any accident such as
electrical shock, leak of current, or bodily injury due to the drop of any part.
8. To check the insulation of the unit, measure the insulation resistance between the power cord plug and
grounding terminal of the unit. The insulation resistance should be 1M or more as measured by a 500V
DC megger.
9. The initial location of installation such as window, floor or the other should be checked for being and safe
enough to support the repaired unit again.
If it is found not so strong and safe, the unit should be installed at the initial location reinforced or at a new
location.

1. Scope
The standards provide for items to be generally observed in carrying and handling semiconductors in relative
manufacturers during maintenance and handling thereof. (They apply the same to handling of abnormal goods
such as rejected goods being returned).
2. Object parts
(1) Use a conductive container for carrying and storing of parts. (Even rejected goods should be handled in
the same way).
Conductive sponge
IC
(2) When any part is handled uncovered (in counting, packing and the like), the handling person must always
use himself as a body earth. (Make yourself a body earth by passing one M ohm earth resistance through
a ring or bracelet).
(3) Be careful not to touch the parts with your clothing when you hold a part even if a body earth is being
taken.
(5) Be careful not to fail to turn off power when you repair the printed circuit board. At the same time, try
to repair the printed circuit board on a grounded metal plate.

Use a high insulation mode (100V, 10M or higher) when ordinary iron is to be used.
(7) In checking circuits for maintenance, inspection or some others, be careful not to have the test probes of the
measuring instrument shortcircuit a load circuit or the like.

2. When it thunders near by, it is recommend to stop the operation and to disconnect the power cord plug
from the power outlet for safety.
3. The room air conditioner does not start automatically after recovery of the electric power failure for
preventing fuse blowing. Re-press START/STOP button after 3 minutes from when unit stopped.
4. If the room air conditioner is stopped by setting the temperature, or missoperation, and re-start in a moment,
there is occasion that the cooling and heating operation does not start for 3 minutes, it is not abnormal
and this is the result of the operation of IC delay circuit. This IC delay circuit ensures that there is no
danger of blowing fuse or damaging parts even if operation is restarted accidentally.
5. This room air conditioner should not be used at the cooling operation when the outside temperature is
below –10°C (14°F).
6. This room air conditioner (the reverse cycle) should not be used when the outside temperature is below
–15°C (5°F).
If the reverse cycle is used under this condition, the outside heat exchanger will be frosted and its
efficiency falls.
7. When the outside heat exchanger is frosted, the frost is melted by operating the hot gas system, it is not
trouble that at this time fan stops and the vapour may rise from the outside heat exchanger.

Air purging by vacuum pump
When the meter reaches -101KPa (-76cmHg) during
➤
pumping, fully tighten the shuttle.
Connect the charging hose A to the large service valve.
➤
After connecting the vacuum suction pump adaptor, connect the Manifold valve Closed
charging hose B to the adaptor. Lo Hi
➤
During relocation or re-installed, there is a possibility of electric-powered Stop valve Stop Vacuum pump
valve to be closed. Should the electric-powered valve be closed, even valve
with air purging being conducted, certain amount of air is still trapped
within that area, hence, there is a need to open up the electric-powered
valve to do an air purging. Under such circumstances, before using
the vacuum-suction pump, the main power supply (LN terminal) should Vacuum pump adapter
be connected to enable a complete opening up of the valve. After
connecting the power supply for approximately 90 seconds, the valve
will be fully opened, after which disconnect the power supply and start
using the vacuum suction pump. Be sure the stop valve is always fully opened.
(Refer to “Power Supply Terminal Connections” in regards to the LN
terminal)
CAUTION: Ingress of air during the operating cycle may cause increase Fig. 6-1
in pressure and other breakdowns.

Reinstall the cap nuts to their original positions and tighten them to
their specified torque.
Valve cap
➤
Spindle
Fix the valve cap to the spindles of each large and small dia. pipe
side service valves.
Fig. 6-3
➤
Tighten the valve cap of the spindle. The refrigerant channel is opened so that the refrigerant
[Torque 19.6 - 24.5 N·m (200 - 250 kgf·cm)] will flow from the outdoor unit into the indoor unit.
! CAUTION
1. Be sure to use the vacuum pump, vacuum pump adapter and manifold gauge and refer to their instruction manuals beforehand.
2. Ascertain that the vacuum pump is filled with oil to the level designated on the oil gauge.
3. After closed the ball valve of charge hose, it should be disconnected at service port side and refrigerant cylinder side at first.
Next, after discharging the remained gas in the charge hose by opening the ball valve a little, disconnect it at manifold gauge side. You
can prevent sudden release of refrigerant by connecting the ball valve to service port. And you can work more safety.

Notes:
(1) Cool dash is started when the operation is started at fan speed “AUTO” or “HI” or when the fan speed is changed to “AUTO” or “HI” during cooling operation, and when
the compressor speed (P item) reaches (CMAX1 ro CMAX2) or higher.
(2) The maximum compressor speed period during cool dash is finished.
1 When 25 minutes have elapsed after cool dash was started.
2 When the room temperature reaches the cooling set temperature -1°C (including cooling shift) and then becomes lower than the preset temperature by 0.66°C after
the steady speed period
3 When thermo is OFF.
1
(If cool dash finished in the above , the compressor does not go through the steady speed period but it starts fuzzy control.)
(3) The thermo OFF temperature during cool dash is cooling set temperature (including cooling shift) -3°C. After thermo OFF, cool dash is finished and fuzzy control starts.
(4) The compressor minimum ON time and minimum OFF time is 3 minutes.
(5) The time limit for which the maximum compressor speed (CMAX1 or CMAX2) during normal cooling can be maintained is less than 60 minutes when the room temperature
is less than CLMXTP: it is not provided when the room temperature is CLMXTP or more.
(6) Compressor speed is determined by instruction sent from indoor unit and corrected by outdoor unit according to such factors as capacity, fan speed, number of units being
operated, outdoor temperature, etc.
(7) If another indoor unit is doing heating operation, cooling operation cannot be done.

There is using a multiplexer (IC15) between the microcomputer and the transmiting/receiving circuit for
indoor unit 1 to 4.
The interface circuit superimposes an interface signal on the 35V DC line supplied from the outdoor
unit to perform communications between indoor and outdoor units. This circuit consists of a transmiting
circuit which superimposes an interface signal transmit from the microcomputer on the 35V DC line and
a transmiting circuit which detects the interface signal on the 35V DC line and outputs it to the
microcomputer.
Communications are performed by mutually transmiting and receiving the 4-frame outdoor request
signal one frame of which consists of a leader of approx. 100 ms., start bit, 8-bit data and stop bit and
the command signal with the same format transmit from the indoor unit.

● The outdoor units (this model) provides with the outdoor temperature thermistor, DEF (defrost) thermistor,
OH (overheat) thermistor and electric expansion valve thermistor so that they detect the temperatures of the
unit and control the system.
● The circuit of the thermistors is shown as Fig. 8-1 for model RAM-90QH5 and their roles and temperature
measuring points are shown as Table 8-1.

If you can see two or more troubled thermistors, a small number of blink takes precedence of others.
The electric expansions valve thermistor is put togrther with 3 pieces, when replacing the thermistor, replace one set of 3 pieces
as taking care of positioning. If you don’t do so, the unit may not operate normally and its cooling and heating performance
may drop.
Be ware that only an open-circuit for OH thermistor has to be checked in 5 minutes after the compressor starts.
If the unit operates abnormally after replacing the thermistor, replace the control P.W.B. because it malfunctions.

● The electric expansion valve is driven by DC 12V. Power is supplied to 1 or 2 phases of 4-phase winding
to switch magnetic pole of winding in order to control opening degree.
● Relationship between power switching direction of phase and open/close direction is shown below.
When power is supplied, voltages at pins 4 to 1 of CN25~CN29 are about 0.9V; they are about 12V
when no power is supplied. When power is reset, initialization is performed for 10 or 20 seconds.
During initialization, measure all voltages at pins 4 to 1 of CN25~CN29 using mutimeter. If there is any
pin with voltage that has not changed from around 0.9V or 12V, expansion valve or microcomputer is
defective.
● Fig. 9-2 shows logic waveform when expansion valve is operating.

With expansion valve control, opening degree is adjusted to stabilize target temperature, by detecting temperature of
compressor head.
The period of control is about once per 20 seconds, and output a few pulses.
3 pices (IC11-IC13) of 8 bit type shift resistor latching driver IC is using in this circuit, which convert the serial input
in to parallel output.
Explain the circuit operation of the electric expansion valve using the Fig. 11-3, 4 time chart

(1cycle of clock signal = off : 500µs, on : 250µs)
2 Driving serial signal #1 output from Micon pin (34), (31) same phase as clock signal
#1.... Serial signal is the method of current conducting only 1 or 2 phase out of 4 phase of windings of the electric
expansion valve.
Due to the above , 12 operation the internal shifting resistor value be updated.
