Maintenance Features
The document outlines important safety rules and recommendations for both installation and maintenance, particularly concerning the use of R32 refrigerant.
Safety Precautions:
- Qualified Personnel: Installation and maintenance must be performed by specialized technical personnel.
- Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.
- Refrigerant Handling: R32 refrigerant is combustible. All operations involving the refrigerant circuit must be performed in well-ventilated areas, free from open flames or heat sources. Anti-static measures (clothing, gloves) are required.
- Leak Detection: Regular leak inspections are crucial. A calibrated leak detector must be used, and any leaks must be addressed immediately.
- Fire Extinguishers: Appropriate fire extinguishing devices (dry powder, carbon dioxide) must be readily available at the maintenance site.
- Wiring: Ensure all electrical connections comply with national wiring regulations and are securely fastened.
- Component Replacement: Use only original spare parts.
Troubleshooting and Error Codes:
The manual provides a detailed list of error codes (E0-EU, P0-P9, P1-P8) and their corresponding failure types, along with recommended solutions. These include:
- Communication Failure (E0, EC): Check wiring, PCB, and optical couplers.
- Sensor Faults (E1, E2, E3, E7, EA, EU): Check sensor connections, resistance, and replace if damaged.
- Motor Faults (E6, EF): Check motor connections and replace the motor if necessary.
- IPM/Module Faults (E9, P0, P9): Check IPM lead wire, short circuits, and replace the inverter PCB if needed.
- Voltage/Current Protection (P1, P2, P8): Check power supply, current sensor, and outdoor PCB.
- Temperature Protection (P4, P5, P6, P7): Check heat exchange, refrigerant amount, and outdoor PCB.
- EEPROM Fault (EE): Check EEPROM installation and replace the outdoor PCB if necessary.
Installation Guidelines:
- Indoor Unit: Install on a strong, vibration-free wall, ensuring clear air inlet/outlet. Avoid heat sources, direct sunlight, and ensure easy access for filter cleaning and condensed water drainage.
- Outdoor Unit: Install on a safe, solid place, away from heat sources, windy/dusty areas, and where noise will not disturb neighbors. Ensure proper ventilation and use rubber gaskets to minimize vibration.
- Pipe Connection: Follow specified pipe lengths and ensure proper tightening torque for flare nuts to prevent leaks.
- Bleeding: After connecting units, bleed the refrigerant circuit using a vacuum pump to remove air and humidity.
