Information on servicing:

1. Checks to the area: Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.

2. Work procedure: Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.

3. 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.

4. Checking for presence of refrigerant: The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

5. Presence of fire extinguisher: If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

6. No ignition sources: No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. No Smoking signs shall be displayed.

7. Ventilated area: Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

8. Checks to the refrigeration equipment: Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:

   • a. The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
   • b. The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;
   • c. If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant; Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected;
   • d. Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant-containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.

9. Checks to electrical devices: Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
   Initial safety checks shall include:

   • a. That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking;
   • b. That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system;
   • c. That there is continuity of earth bonding.

10. Repair to intrinsically safe components: Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating. Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.

11. Cabling: Check that 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 aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

12. Detection of flammable refrigerants Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.

13. Leak detection methods: The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.

14. Removal and evacuation When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to: Remove refrigerant; Purge the circuit with inert gas; Evacuate; Purge again with inert gas; Open the circuit by cutting or brazing. The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task. Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system. When the final OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazingoperations on the pipe-work are to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available.
    12. Charging procedures: In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed. Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them. Cylinders shall be kept upright. Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant. Label the system when charging is complete (if not already). Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system. Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN. The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
    13. Decommissioning: Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.

    •   * a. Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.

    • b. Isolate system electrically.
    • c. Before attempting the procedure ensure that: Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders; All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly; The recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person; Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
    • d. Pump down the refrigerant system, if possible.
    • e. If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
    • f. Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
    • g. Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
    • h. Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
    • i. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
    • j. When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
    • k. Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

• Labeling: Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

• Recovery: When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs. The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt. The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
  NOTE: Check the appliance regularly and refer to TROUBLESHOOTING or contact our customer support if it shows any of the following signs:

  • Power cord or plug is damaged.
  • Loud noise, unusual smell or excessive heat.

This is a warm weather appliance

Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above 60 °F (15.6 °C) and below 115 °F (46.1 °C), so it won’t cool a room if it is already cool outside. Condensation is normal Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the outside. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner will use most of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.

Frosting

This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across the coils, a dirty filter, cool damp weather, or all these. Set the SYSTEM mode to FAN ONLY and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.

Noises

All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich units are designed to operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that the chassis seal gasket is properly installed (refer to the Installation Instructions).

Unit Trips Circuit Breaker or

Blows Fuses.

| •          Other appliances are being used on the same circuit.| • The unit requires a dedicated outlet circuit, not shared with other appliances.
•          An extension cord is being used.| •          Do NOT use an extension cord with this or any other air conditioner.
•          The circuit breaker or time-delay fuse is not of the proper rating.| •          Replace with a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse of the proper rating. See “Elec- trical Rating Tables” on Page 6 for the proper circuit breaker/ fuse rating for your unit. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.

LCDI Power Cord Trips (Reset Button Pops Out).

| •          The LCDI power cord can trip (Reset button pops out) due to disturbances on your power supply line.| •          Press and release RESET (Listen for click. Reset button latches and remains in.) to resume normal operation.
•          Electrical overload, overheating, or cord pinching can trip (Reset button pops out) the LCDI power cord.| •          Once the problem has been determined and corrected, press and release RESET (Listen for click. Reset button latches and remains in.) to resume normal operation.
NOTE: **** A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

Unit Does Not Cool Room Sufficiently, or Cycles On And Off Too Frequently.

| •          The return/ discharge air grille is blocked.| •          Ensure that the return and/ or discharge air paths are not blocked by curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.
•          Windows or doors to the outside are open.| •          Ensure that all windows and doors are closed.
•          The temperature is not set at a cool enough enough setting.| • Adjust the Temperature control to a cooler or warmer setting as necessary.
•          The filter is dirty or obstructed.| •          Clean the filter, (see Routine Maintenance), or remove obstruction.
•          The indoor coil or outdoor coil is dirty or obstructed.| • Clean the coils, (see Routine Maintenance), or remove obstruction.
•          There is excessive heat or moisture (cooking, showers, etc.) in the room.| •          Be sure to use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and, if possible, try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
•          The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is extremely hot.| •          Allow additional time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot room.

Unit Does Not Cool Room Sufficiently, or Cycles On And Off Too Frequently (continued).

| •          The outside temperature is below 60 °F (16 °C).| •          Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the outside temperature is below 60 °F (16 °C). The unit will not cool properly, and the unit may be damaged.
•          The digital control is set to fan cycling mode.| •          Since the fan does not circulate the room air continuously at this setting, the room air does not mix as well and hot (or cold) spots may result. Using the con- tinuous fan setting is recommended to obtain optimum comfort levels.
•          The air conditioner has insufficient cooling capacity to match the heat gain of the room.| •          Check the cooling capacity of your unit to ensure it is properly sized for the room in which it is installed. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
•          The air conditioner has insufficient heating capacity to match the heat loss of the room.| •          Check the heating capacity of your unit. Air conditioners are sized to meet the cooling load, and heater size is then selected to meet the heating load. In extreme northern climates, room air conditioners may not be able to be used as a primary source of heat.
COMPLAINT| CAUSE| SOLUTION
---|---|---

Unit Runs Too Much.

| •          This may be due to an excessive heat load in the room.| • If there are heat producing appliances in use in the room, or if the room is heavily occupied, the unit will need to run longer to remove the additional heat.
•          It may also be due to an improperly sized unit.| •          Be sure to use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and, if possible, try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
•          This may be normal for higher efficiency

(EER) air conditioners.

| •          The use of higher efficiency components in your new air conditioner may result in the unit running longer than you feel it should. This may be more apparent, if it replaced an older, less efficient, model. The actual energy usage, however, will be significantly less when compared to older models.
•          You may notice that the discharge air temperature of your new air conditioner may not seem as cold as you may be accustomed to from older units. This does not; however, indicate a reduction in the cooling capacity of the unit.| ****

•          The energy efficiency ratio (EER) and cooling capacity rating (Btu/ h) listed on the unit’s rating plate are both agency certified.
