Read the following precautions thoroughly before the maintenance, and then inspect and repair the product in a safe manner.
The types and levels of danger that may arise if the product is handled incorrectly are described with the warning symbols shown below.

Warning
Incorrect handling of the product may result in serious injury or death.

Electric shock
If you must inspect the circuitry while the power is on, do not touch the live parts.
(Failure to heed this warning may result in electric shock.)

Modification is prohibited
Do not modify the unit.
(Failure to heed this warning may result in electric shock, fire and/or injury.)

Proper electric work
Use the electric wires designated for electric work, and conduct electric work in accordance with the “Electric Installation Engineering Standard”, the “Indoor Wiring Regulations” and the installation instructions.
(Improper connection or wiring installation may result in electric shock and/or fire.)
Turn off the power supply

(Failure to heed this warning may result in electric shock.)

Use proper parts and tools
For repair, be sure to use the parts listed in the service parts list of the applicable model and use the proper tools.
(Failure to heed this warning may result inelectric shock, fire and/or injury.)

Replace damaged and/or degraded parts
Be sure to replace the power cord and lead wires if they are damaged and/or degraded.
(Failure to heed this warning may resultin electric shock and/or fire.)
Check insulation
Upon completing repair work, always measure the insulation resistance. Verify that it is at least 10 MΩ (with a 500 V DC insulation resistance tester), and then turn on the power.
(Inadequate insulation may result in electric shock.)

Caution
Incorrect handling of the product may result in injury or damage to properties including buildings and equipment.

Do not work at a location where you do not have a sure footing.
(Failure to heed this caution may result ina fall.)
Wear gloves
Wear gloves when servicing.
(Failure to heed this caution may result in injury to your hands from sharp metal or other edges.)

Request for repair

  • Inspect the grounding, and repair it if it is incomplete. Make sure that a power supply isolator or an overload protection device is installed, if it is not installed, recommend the dealer to install one.
  • Make sure that the product operates properly upon completion of repair. Clean the product and the surrounding area, and then notify the customer of the completion of repair.

About the filters

| Features
---|---
Exhaust air filter| | Exhaust air side| The filter prevents clogging of the internal parts.
Outside air filter (Replacement filter)| (P-100F5-E: Optional parts)| Supply air side| When Lossnay takes in outside air to a room, the filter collects dust, sand, pollen or the likes from outside air.
Note: Some fine particles or tiny insects may pass through the filter. The high performance filter is recommended for higher collecting effect.

Outside air filter can be replaced with the following high performance filter.

High performance filter (Optional parts)| (P-100HF5-E)| Supply air side| The filter collects dust more efficiently than the outside air filter.
Note: When using the high performance filter, install it in the filter frame without using the filter stopper.

Troubleshooting

Work precautions

  • When servicing, be sure to recreate the malfunction two or three times before starting repairs.
  • When servicing, always keep proper footing.
  • When servicing, always unplug the power cord from the outlet, or turn off the circuit breaker. Sufficient care must be taken to avoid electric shock or injury.
  • Always connect the power wires properly.

(1) Service Flowchart
After checking the check items below, follow the troubleshooting 1 and 2 for servicing.

Check items

  1. Condition of trouble
  2. Frequency of trouble: The date of starting operation and occurrence of trouble
  3. With or without working drawings: Equipment, wiring

CLIMAGROUP VL-100U5-E Mitsubishi Electric Corporation - Fig

(2) Checklist
Troubleshooting 1 Lossnay does not operate, or it stops by itself.

1 Initialization checklist from installation to operation (Table 1)

No. Error Checkpoint
1 The Lossnay operation is disabled or improper.
Lossnay stops irregularly. Check the main power connection.
•  Is the power plug connected to the power supply of rated voltage? •  Is the rated voltage supplied to the terminal block? •  Is there a poor connection?

Troubleshooting 2 Lossnay operates irregularly.
2 Lossnay checklist (Table 2)

No. Error Cause Action
1 The shutter does not open. The shutter does not close. Is there any
foreign matter or obstruction around the shutter? Remove it.
2 The fan does not rotate. Do the fan blades touch other parts? Check for

an abnormal area.
Replace the parts of the abnormal area.
Is there any foreign matter around the fan?| Remove it.
Is there something wrong with the motor?| Check the basic checklist for the major components (Table 3).
3| An unusual noise comes from the fan.| Is there any foreign matter around the fan?| Check around the fan.
Can you rotate the fan manually?| No: Replace the motor.
Is there an odd feeling when rotating the fan?| Yes: Replace the motor.
3| An unusual noise comes from the fan.| Is there something wrong with the motor?| Check the basic checklist for the major components (Table 3).
Replace the abnormal parts.
4| High/Low lamp does not illumi- nate.| Is Lossnay operating at the High or Low fan speed?| If the lamp does not illuminate during the High or Low fan speed operation, replace the neon lamp.

3 Basic checklist for the major components (Table 3)
*Make sure to unplug the power cord or turn off the circuit breaker, before performing the procedures No. 2 to 4.

No. Parts Judging instructions
1 Check that the fan rotate while the rated voltage is supplied.
2 Fuse Check if the fuse is blown out.

If the fuse is blown out, replace the fuse.
3| Switch with a pull cord (VL-100U5-E only)| Remove the switch from the main unit. Measure the resistance at the weld for the wire connection on the backside of the switch.
If the resistance differs from the value listed below, replace the switch.| Color of wires| Notch| Resistance
---|---|---
White – Red| High| Approx. 0.1 Ω (conducted)
White – Blue| Low
4| Motor|
Measure the resistance between the pins of the power plug.

Measure the resistance between C and Hi (High), and between C and Lo (Low) ter- minals of the terminal block. •  If the resistance differs from the value listed below, replace the motor and capaci- tors. •  If the resistance is approximately equal to the value listed below, replace the capacitors.| Notch| Resistance ---|--- High| Approx. 490 Ω Low| Approx. 0.1 Ω OFF (VL-100U5-E only)| Open

How to call
