Additional Information for "CHECK LIST ON COMPRESSOR"
Check
Additionallnformation(Mechanism of Compressor Failure)
Item
1& 2 The liquid refrigerant return volume to the compressor is controlled by the discharge gas
temperature Tdl when NO.1 compressor only is operating. I' Tdl and Td2 are reversely
connected, the liquid refrigerant return volume will become small by detecting the temperatures
even even if the actual discharge gas temperature is high. Therefore, this abnormal
overheating operation will result in insulation failure of the motor winding.
3,4&5 Overcurrent control(operating frequency control) is performed by detectingcurrent by the
current sensor.
In this case, winding insulation failure will occur, since control is not available in spite of actually
high current.
6,7 The Current sensor checks phaseand adjusts outputelectrical wave in addition to the above
mentioned items. If fault occurs, the output electrical wave becomes unstable giving stress to
the motor winding, resulting in winding insulation failure.
8,9 During a cooling operation, Pd is controlled by MVl and MV2, and Td and SH are controlled by
MVB.
During a heating operation, Td and SH are controlled by MVl and MV2, and MVB is fully
closed.
If expansion valves are incorrectly connected, correctcontrol is not available, resulting in
compressor seizure depending on liquid refrigerant returning conditions or motor winding
insulation failure depending on overheating conditions.
10 If the refrigeration cycle and electrical system are incorrectly connected, abnormally low suction
pressure operation is maintained or abnormally high discharge pressureoperation is
maintained, resultinq in giving stress to the compressor, since their correct control is not

12 The compressor may be locked due to the liquid return operation during the, cooling operation.
13 In the case that the contacting resistance becomes big, voltage imbalance among each phase
will cause abnormal overcurrent.
14 In this case, overcurrent will occur, efficiency will decrease or the motor winding will be
excessively heated.
15 In the case, it will result in motor burningor compressor seizure.

(1) Discharge Gas Overheating Prevention
(Thermistor for Checking UpperPart of Compressor,THM5 and THM7)
a. A thermistor checking the temperature of the compressor upper part is installed, to prevent
discharge gas from overheating. If discharge gas temperature increases excessively lubricating
oil deterioration occurs and lubricating properties deteriorate, resulting in short compressor life.
b. If discharge gas temperature increases excessively, compressor temperature increases. Atthe

worst, compressor motorwinding will be burnt on.
c. When the compressor upper part temperature increases during heating operation, the unit is
controlled according to the following method.
e An electronic expansion valve of liquid bypass opensand high pressure refrigerant is returned to
the compressor through the accumulator, decreasing compressor temperature.
elf the compressor upper part temperature increases exceeding 127"C for 10 minutes even if an
electronic expansion valve opens, the compressor is stopped, in order to protect the
compressor. Thermistor resistance characteristics are shown in Fig. 3.1.
d. If compressor upper part temperature increases exceeding 127"C for 10 minutes during cooling
operation, the compressor is stopped. (Refer to the block diagram for details.)

Up to 16 indoor units can be simultaneously controlled

using one remote control switch. The operation mode,
including the selectionof ventilation, cooling or heating, the
setting of air flow, the setting of temperature and the
setting of run/stopcan only be set uniformlyfor all units.
However, on/off operation of each thermostat can be done
indiVidually. Defrosting, protective devicesfunction, etc are
indiVidually performed.
a. Perform wiring between indoor units as shown in the following figure.
The total length ofthewire shall be200m or

shorter. (for O.75mm 2 wire 500m orshorter)
Use thefollowing three cable wire in thesystem
parts.

(j) Turn ON the power sources of all unns.
Depress the CHECK switch and the MODE switch on the remote control switch simultaneously
for three seconds or longer, to change the unn(s) to the test running mode. (Refer to the
checking procedure by the CHECK switch.)
Number of Units Connected
@ When the number of units connected is indicated where usually the temperature is indicated, the
system is functioning normally.
False Number of Connected Units is Indicated
@ When the indicated number of connected units is smaller than the actual number or zero,
presumable causes are as follows:
1) The power source of some units is not turned ON.
2) Incorrect selting of unit numbers was performed.
3) Control wires between units or remote control switch were incorrectly connected regarding
polarity and order.
Ending of Test Running Mode

e. When the confirmation of the number of connected units and the wiring-checking are finished,
end the test running mode by depressing the "RESET" switch.

b. Decide the number of units. The method should be the

same as in "Simultaneous Indoor Unit Operation with
One Remote Control Switch".
(3) Checking the Main and Sub Remote Control Switches

When, during the self-checking procedure of a remote
control switch, an '88" is displayed where usually the
temperature is indicated, it is a sub-remote control
switch. If a '77" is indicated, it is the main remote
control switch.
CAUTION
1. When a main remote control switch malfunctions, unit operation stops. Units cannot be operated
with only a sub-remote control switch.
2. When a main switch and a sub-switch are simultaneously operated, the units will operate
according to either one of the modes after 30 seconds.

(1) Removal of Heating Temperature Calibration
I When the temperature settings of the remote control switch and the suction air temperature of the
indoor unit are required to be equal, this optional function can be used.
I
I In standard heating operation, the suction air temperature is higher than the room temperature,
I therefore the suction air temperature is calibrated -4"C.
(Indicated Setting Temperature = Inlet Air Temperature -4"C <=> O"C)
This is useful when the thermistor at the suction side of an indoor unit is removed and installed in
another place.
HITACHI 4-17

--
(2) Circulator Function at Heating Thermo-OFF
In heating operation, there is a case that the room air is stratificated because warm air stagnates
near the ceiling. In this case, it is recommended that the circulator function explained below be
utilized .
Circulator Function
Units can be programmed so that a set level of air flow will be held on, when the heating is turned
thermo-OFF. In this case, air movement in the room will be kept on the same level as before,
ensuring a homogenous air distribution. Additionally, when the temperature of discharge air
decreases to 25"C or lower, the unit is programmed so that the air flow is automatically adjusted to
"LOW". In the case that an Auto Louver is equipped, this operation will be also held on when the
heating is turned thermo-OFF.
CAUTION
Perceptions of coolness, heat and air flow are subject to personal tastes and behaviors. It is therefore
recommended to discuss this with customers thoroughly and then to set the unit accordingly.
(3) Enforced 3 Minutes Minimum Operation Time of Compressor

When a compressor frequently starts and stops in short intervals, this function should be used to
guard the compressor. By selling this function, the mode of a minimum 3 minutes operation will be
added to the standard mode of a minimum 3 minutes stoppage.
(4) Change of Filter Cleaning Time

The operation mode which has been set cannnot be changed.
(6) Fixing of Selling Temperature (Revised Remote Control Switch Only)

When changes in selling temperature are not required, this mode can be used.
The selling temperature which has been set cannot be changed.
(7) Fixing of Operation as Exclusive Cooling Unit (Revised Remote Control Switch Only)
When exclusive cooling operation is required, this mode can be used. This function invalidates the

5. 1 Abnormal Flickering of "RUN" Lamp on Remote Control Switch during Automatic Selting of
Unit Address
Question and Answer for Field Work
I:xample 1: Abnormal Flickering of "RUN" Lamp on Remote Control

Switch during Automatic Setting of Unit Address
[Phenomenon]
In the case that multiple indoor units are controlled by one remote control switch and indoor units are
started by the remote control switch after power supply, the "RUN" lamp may flicker 30 seconds after
the start-up.
[Cause]
The automatic selting of each unit address is performed within 5 minutes after power supply. During
this period, if the unit is started, the"RUN" lamp may flicker approximately 30 seconds after start-up due
to this automatic selting.
[Countermeasure]
Start the system 5 minutes after power supply.
[Remarks]
The following example indicates three indoor units controlled by one remote control switch. During
the period up to completion of automatic selting of unit addresses, all indoor unit addresses are
registered as No. 0 unit. Therefore, if the units are started before completion of the automatic selting, a
micro-computer judges that duplicated unit address exist, resulting in flickering of "RUN" lamp.
However, this flickering will disappear after the automatic selting of unit addresses is completed.

5.2 Intake Air Temperature and Setting Temperature by Remote Control Switch
Example 2: Intake Air Temperature and Setting Temperature by

[Phenomenon)
An actual room temperature does not reach the temperature shown on the remote control switch.
[Cause]
In case of normal one-to-one system air conditioners, air conditioners are simply controlled by
comparing the setting temperature and the indoor intake air temperature. Therefore, the intake air
temperature reaches the setting temperature.
However, regarding the FS Series, the intake air target temperature varies between the setting
temperature and setting temperature plus 4"C during the cooling operation, and between the setting
temperature minus 4"C and setting temperature plus 8"C during the heating operation.
This is due to the temperature calibration control, capacity control and fuzzy control.
[Countermeasure)
Change of Room Temperature Setting by Remote Control Switch
[Remarks)
Operation Example
During a cooling operation, the room temperature and the indoor intake air temperature (this
temperature can be shown by using Check Mode "b2") did not reach the setting temperature despite
..
light heat load. By changing the room temperature setting using the remote control switch, the room
temperature reached the setting.
5-2 HITACHI
5 .3 Discharge Air Temperature by Check Mode "b3"
Example 3: Discharge Air Temperature by Check Mode "b3"
[Phenomena]
During a cooling operation, the discharge air temperature indicated by the Check Mode ''b3'' was
higher than the intake air temperature indicated by the Check Mode "b2" by the remote control.
Therefore, it was judged that abnormality with the air conditioner existed.
[Cause]
The discharge air temperature indicated by Check Mode "b3" is the temperature at the discharge air
thermistor. This temperature is differentfrom the average discharge air temperature.
[Countermeasure]
Use the temperature indicated by the Check Mode "b3" as reference.

-- 5.4 PowerMonitoron Remote Control Switch
Example 4: Power Monitor on Remote Control Switch
[ Phenomenon]
The power monitordata indicated on the remote control switch is differentfrom the compressor
frequency.
[Cause]
..
The power monitor data indicated on the remote control switch is based on the following relation and
is different from the compressor frequency.
[Countermeasure]
No special countermeasure is required.

5.5 What is the relation between Compressor Frequency and Other Factors?
--

Example 5: What is the relation between Compressor Frequency and

Other Factors?
[Answer]
The compressor control frequency is changed by the PIO calculation method according to cooling or
heating load and the degree of ~s change. Based on this target frequency, frequency output is given to
the compressor or the constant speed compressor is started or stopped. Therefore, in the case that the
heat load is comparatively small, the constant speed compressor may not run.

5.6 How are the discharge and suction pressure checked?
Example 6: How are the discharge and suction pressure checked?
[Answer]
The suction pressure during the cooling operation or discharge pressure during the heating operation
regarding this FS and FX series are always controlled by an inverter.
In order to check the unit operation conditions, please perform checking according to the following
procedures.
1. Set all the indoor units at the same C09ling or heating mode.
2. Operate all the units at the high speed.
3. Wait for a while until the system becomes stable.
4. Compare the measured data with the pressures shown in the figures below,
NOTES:
1) During the cooling operation, use the discharge pressure data as a reference, since
the discharge pressure depends on the accumulated actual indoor unit capacity, outdoor coil
inlet temperature, etc.
2) During the heating operation, use the suction pressure data as a reference, since the
suction pressure depends on the accumulated actual indoor unit capacity, outdoor coil inlet air
temperature, etc.

-- 5.9 Attention for SET-FREE FX Series
,
(1) Attention for Application
The SET-FREE FX series has been designed for the system to provide simultaneous cooling
and heating operations during the temperate season. However, the current SET-FREE FS
series is unable to function as a cooling and heating system simultaneously.
The FX series is for general office bUilding air conditioning. Therefore, it is recommended that
different air conditioning systems be selected where systems are utilized for machine rooms or
computer rooms, providing big heat load.
During the simultaneous cooling and heating operations, the actual capacity is decreased for a
short period of time due to the influence of heat balance if the cooling or heating operation on
some indoor units is started or stopped. Therefore, in the case that there is a room where the
heat load change is big or an ON/OFF operation of an indoor unit is excessively frequent, it is
not appropriate to use this system, since other indoor units may be influenced by the indoor unit.
However, this system can be applied to a room where gradual heat load change is given, such
as a heating operation in the morning, cooling operation during day time and heating operation
in the evening.
During the simultaneous cooling and heating operation, the performance comparatively
decreases when compared with the performance whilst operating all the indoor units at the
same mode.

@ In the case that room temperature rapidly increases during this automatic COOUHEAT
operation, the operation mode is changed in order, heating operation - fan operation -cooling
operation. During this mode change, the fan operation continues for more than 10 minutes in
order to avoid unwanted influences to other indoor units. Therefore, it is recommended that
other systems be considered if very precise temperature control is required.
(3) Attention for Installing CH Unit

Before installing the CH units, pay attention to the service access and sound.
(j)The CH unit consists of mechanical components such as solenoid valves in order to change the
operation mode from cooling to heating or heating to cooling respectively. Therefore, please
provide a service access door(minimum of 600 x 1,000 mm) beneath the CH unit.
@ Flowing sound of refrigerant may be heard from the CH unit when the solenoid valve in the CH
unit is activated. Therefore, take the following action to minimize the sound .
Install the CH unit inside the ceiling. As for the ceiling material, select a material which
..
minimizes operation sound.
Do not install the CH units in near a bed room or hospital room.

-- 5. 10 Caution on Refrigerant Leakage
(1) Maximum Permissible Concentration of HCFC Gas ,

The refrigerant R-22. charged in the SET-FREE FS and FX system, is an incombustible and
non-toxic gas. However, if leakage occurs and gas fills a room, it may cause SUffocation.
The maximum permissible concantration of HCFC gas, R-22 in air is 0.3 kg/m 3 , according to the
refrigeration and air conditioning facility standard (KHK S 0010) by the KHK (High Pressure Gas
Protection Association) Japan.
Therefore, some effective measure must be taken to lower the R-22 concentration in air below
0.3 kg/m 3 in case of leakage.
(2) Calculation of Refrigerant Concentration

<D Calculate the total quantity of refrigerant R (kg) charged in the system connecting all the indoor
units of rooms to be air conditioned.
(2) Calculate the room volume V (m3) of each objective room.
@ Calculate the refrigerant concentration C (kg/m3 ) of the room according to the following
equation.
R: Total Quantity of Charged Refrigerant (kg) = C: Refrigerant Concentration

V: Room Volume (m3 ) ;:;; 0.3 (kg/m 3 )
(3) Countermeasure for Refrigerant Leakage According to KHK Standards

The facility shall be arranged as follows referring to the KHK standards. so that the refrigerant
concentration will be below 0.3 kg/ma.
<D. Provide a shutterless opening which will allow fresh air to circulate into the room.
(2) Provide a doorless opening of 0.15% or more size to the floor area.
@ Provide a ventilator, linked with a gas leak detector. of 0.4 m3/min. or more ventilating capacity
per Japanese Refrigeration Ton(= compressor displacement m3th / 8.5) of the air conditioning
system utilizing refrigerant R-22.
