  • Do not keep food, plants, caged pets, artwork, or precision instruments in the direct airflow of the indoor unit or too close to the unit, as these items can be damaged by temperature changes or dripping water.
  • When the room humidity exceeds 80% or when the drainpipe is clogged, water may drip from the indoor unit. Do not install the indoor unit where such dripping can cause damage.
  • When installing the unit in a hospital or communications office, be prepared for noise and electronic interference. Inverters, home appliances, high-frequency medical equipment, and radio communications equipment can cause the air conditioner to malfunction or break down. The air conditioner may also affect medical equipment, disturbing medical care, and communications equipment, harming the screen display quality.

Before installation or relocation

Caution:

  • Be extremely careful when transporting the units. Two or more persons are needed to handle the unit, as it weighs 20 kg, 44 lbs or more. Do not grasp the packaging bands. Wear protective gloves as you can injure your hands on the fins or other parts.
  • Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging materials. Packaging materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause stabs or other injuries.
  • Thermal insulation of the refrigerant pipe is necessary to prevent condensation. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly insulated, condensation will be formed.
  • Place thermal insulation on the pipes to prevent condensation. If the drainpipe is installed incorrectly, water leakage and damage to the ceiling, floor, furniture, or other possessions may result.
  • Do not clean the air conditioner unit with water. Electric shock may result.
  • Tighten all flare nuts to specification using a torque wrench. If tightened too much, the flare nut can break after an extended period.
  • If the unit is run for long hours when the air above the ceiling is at high temperature/high humidity (dew point above 26 ºC, 79 ºF), dew condensation may be produced in the indoor unit or the ceiling materials. When operating the units in this condition, add insulation material (10-20 mm, 25/64-25/32 inch) to the entire surface of the unit and ceiling materials to avoid dew condensation.

Before electric work

Caution:

  • Be sure to install circuit breakers. If not installed, electric shock may result.
  • For the power lines, use standard cables of sufficient capacity. Otherwise, a short circuit, overheating, or fire may result.
  • When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables.
  • Be sure to ground the unit. If the unit is not properly grounded, electric shock may result.
  • Use circuit breakers (ground fault interrupter, isolating switch (+B fuse), and moulded case circuit breaker) with the specified capacity. If the circuit breaker capacity is larger than the specified capacity, breakdown or fire may result.

Before starting the test run

Caution:

  • Turn on the main power switch more than 12 hours before starting operation. Starting operation just after turning on the power switch can severely damage the internal parts.
  • Before starting operation, check that all panels, guards and other protective parts are correctly installed. Rotating, hot, or high-voltage parts can cause injuries.
  • Do not operate the air conditioner without the air filter set in place. If the air filter is not installed, dust may accumulate and breakdown may result.
  • Do not touch any switch with wet hands. Electric shock may result.

Test run

Before test run

  • After completing the installation and the wiring and piping of the indoor and outdoor units, check for refrigerant leakage, looseness in the power supply or control wiring, wrong polarity, and no disconnection of one phase in the supply.
  • Use a 500-volt megohmmeter to check that the resistance between the power supply terminals and the ground is at least 1.0 MΩ.
  • Do not carry out this test on the control wiring (low voltage circuit) terminals.

Warning:
Do not use the air conditioner if the insulation resistance is less than 1.0 MΩ.

Test run

Using the wired remote controller

  • Make sure to read the operation manual before the test run. (Especially items to secure safety)

Step 1 Turn on the power.

  • Remote controller: The system will go into startup mode, and the remote controller power lamp (green) and “Please Wait” will blink. While the lamp and message are blinking, the remote controller cannot be operated. Wait until “Please Wait” is not displayed before operating the remote controller. After the power is turned on, “Please Wait” will be displayed for approximately 3 minutes.
  • Indoor controller board: LED 1 will be lit up, LED 2 will be lit up (if the address is 0) or off (if the address is not 0), and LED 3 will blink.
  • Outdoor controller board: LED 1 (green) and LED 2 (red) will be lit up. (After the startup mode of the system finishes, LED 2 will be turned off.) If the outdoor controller board uses a digital display, [- ] and [ -] will be displayed alternately every second.

If the operations do not function correctly after the procedures in step 2 and thereafter are performed, the following causes should be considered and eliminated if they are found. (The symptoms below occur during the test run mode. “Startup” in the table means the LED display written above.)

Symptoms in test-run mode|

Cause

< > indicates digital display.

The remote controller displays “Please Wait”, and cannot be operated.| After “startup” is displayed, only green lights up.

<00>

| •   After power is turned on, “Please Wait” is displayed for 3 minutes during system startup. (Normal)
After power is turned on, “Please Wait” is displayed for 3 minutes, and then the error code is displayed.| After “startup” is displayed, green (once) and red (once) blink alternately. | •   Incorrect connection of outdoor terminal block (L1, L2, GR and S1, S2, S3.)
After “startup” is displayed, green (once) and red (twice) blink alternately. <F3, F5, F9>| •   Outdoor unit’s protection device connector is open.

No display appears even when the remote controller operation switch is turned on. (The operation lamp does not light up.)

| After “startup” is displayed, green (twice) and red (once) blink alternately. <EA. Eb>| •   Incorrect wiring between the indoor and outdoor unit (Polarity is wrong for S1, S2, S3.)

•   Remote controller transmission wire short.

After “startup” is displayed, only green lights up.

<00>

| •   There is no outdoor unit of address 0. (Address is other than 0.)

•   Remote controller transmission wire open.

The display appears but soon disappears even when the remote controller is operated.| After “startup” is displayed, only green lights up.

<00>

| •   After cancelling function selection, the operation is not possible for about 30 seconds. (Normal)

Step 2 Switch the remote controller to “Test run”.

  1. Select “Test run” from the Service menu, and press the [SELECT/HOLD] button. (Fig. 7-1)
  2. Select “Test run” from the Test run menu, and press the [SELECT/HOLD] button. (Fig. 7-2)
  3. The test run operation starts, and the Test run operation screen is displayed.Mitsubishi-Electric-TAR-41MAA-Split-System-Heat-Pump-fig- \(39\)

Step 3 Perform the test run and check the airflow temperature and auto vane.

  1. Press the [F1] button to change the operation mode. (Fig. 7-3)
    • Cooling mode: Check that cool air blows from the unit.
    • Heating mode: Check that warm air blows from the unit.
  2. Press the [SELECT/HOLD] button to display the Vane operation screen, and then press the [F1] and [F2] buttons to check the auto vane. (Fig. 7-4) Press the [RETURN] button to return to the Test run operation screen.Mitsubishi-Electric-TAR-41MAA-Split-System-Heat-Pump-fig- \(40\)

Step 4 Confirm the operation of the outdoor unit fan.
The speed of the outdoor unit fan is controlled to control the performance of the unit. Depending on the ambient air, the fan will rotate at a slow speed and will keep rotating at that speed unless the performance is insuffi cient. Therefore, the outdoor wind may cause the fan to stop rotating or to rotate in the opposite direction, but this is not a problem.

Step 5 Stop the test run.

Press the [ON/OFF] button to stop the test run. (The Test run menu will appear.)
