3. Field Settings
3.1 Field Setting From Outdoor Unit
The target evaporation temperature can be calculated as follows:
Tst : Target evaporation temperature
Tsd : Evaporation temperature set by dip switches
ΔTsp : Temperature correction setting by pushbuttons.
ΔTsn : Temperature correction setting during night-time operation
Tst = Tsd + ΔTsp + ΔTsn

The evaporation temperature can be set by dip switches and pushbuttons on the outdoor unit
PCB.
The dip switches can be set when the power is turned off, while the pushbuttons can be set
while the condensing unit is operating.
Note that the actual evaporation temperature may be lower than that specified, if the outdoor
temperature is too low. (This is intended to protect the compressors.)
Do not set the evaporation temperature to less than the values below. (This may damage the
compressors.)
MT series : -20°C
LT series : -45°C

(1) Field settings by dip switches


Be sure to turn off the power before changing the DIP switch settings.
DS1-1 to 3 enable setting the saturated temperature equivalent to suction pressure (in
increments of 5°C).
Do not change the settings of DS1-4, DS2-1 to 4.

3.1.1 Evaporation temperature correction at night-time, using an external


contact
The two methods can be used to increase the evaporation temperature at night-time below:
1. Receiving the time setting from the AIRNET (Setting Mode 2-8·9).
2. Using an external contact.
The following describes the wiring needed to use an external contact.
By a short-circuit between terminals A and C on the PCB (A5P) in the control box, the
evaporation temperature can be corrected at night-time.
For details about the wiring, refer to Figure 1. Protect the terminals using insulation sleeves
or equivalent.

(1) Startup control
„ The actuators will be operated in the following sequence when the thermostat is
turned on:
1 The outdoor fan will start to operate for 5 seconds. (This is intended to measure the outdoor
temperature accurately.)
2 At power-up, the operation outputs (P1, P2) for low pressure conditions (see the chart on the
right) will be turned on/off.
(This is intended to avoid possible liquid compression that is caused by the thermostatic
expansion valve in the showcase being fully open during startup. To prevent liquid
compression, the liquid solenoid valve will be cycled on and off until the thermostatic
expansion valve catches up.)
3 The compressors will be activated.

(3) Compressor control

Compressor control
• Increase or decrease the compressor frequency using the low pressure as a controlled
Normal capacity control variable, in order to achieve the optimum cooling capacity for the target evaporation
temperature (Tst). The target evaporation temperature value used will be the one set by the
dip switches. (For details, see section 2, "Field Settings").
The frequency value will be increased or decreased in steps of 1 every 30 seconds.
• If the low pressure (LP) drops below a pressure equivalent to the target evaporation
temperature (Lpm) –0.015 MPa, the compressor speed will be reduced by one step (every 30
seconds).
• If the low pressure (LP) exceeds a pressure equivalent to the target evaporation temperature
(Lpm) +0.015 MPa, the compressor speed will be increased by one step (every 30 seconds).
However, the thermostat ON/OFF operation will be performed if the load is low.
High compression ratio • If the compression ratio stays above 25 for 10 seconds or more, the compressor speed will be
avoidance control reduced. (This is intended to protect the compressor scrolls.)

Differential pressure • If the high and low pressure differential is too small, the compressor speed will be increased
inversion avoidance control according to the actual differential pressure. (This is intended to maintain lubrication.)

Oil return control by increasing • See the "Oil return control" section.

(8) Four way valve control


To standardize the hardware with the Japanese domestic models, the European models are
also equipped with four-way valves.
The circulation volume has been factory set to insure that the four-way valve switches over
properly. This allows the valve to be initialized to the proper position when the power is turned
on.
„ ON condition: The valve will be activated when the differential pressure at start-up is 0.294
MPa or less.
„ OFF condition: The differential pressure stays above 0.49 MPa for 10 seconds, or the
watchdog timer reaches 90 seconds.
(Low, high pressure and discharge gas protection will take priority.)
For 5 and 6 AY1 models, the INV compressor steps will be increased. For the other models, the
STD compressors will be operated.

(9) High pressure protection control


„ If the following condition is met, the compressor load will be reduced significantly, as shown
in the block diagram below.
After multiple retries are made and the retry counter is reached, the compressor will stop and
declare a problem (abnormal stop). (For details, see the list of errors.)

(10) Low pressure protection control


If the pressure drops below 0.00 MPa, the system will cease operation. After 2 to 10 minutes in
standby, the system will resume operation. For a period of 3 hours after power-up, the system
will continue to check whether the suction stop valve is closed. If the stop valve is seen to be
closed, the system will stop and declare a problem (abnormal stop).
Three hours after the system was turned on, the system will no longer stop due to an
abnormally low pressure.
(The low pressure retry code "E4" will be sent to the AIRNET.)

(11) Overheat protection control


„ If any of the following conditions is met, the system will cease operation. INV compressors
will resume operation after 2 to 6 minutes in standby, while STD compressors will restart
after 3 to 10 minutes. If a particular compressor repeats this procedure 10 times, "F3" will be
sent to the AIRNET; if it repeats it 15 times, the compressor will stop.
For 5 and 6AY1 models, the compressors will stop and declare a problem (abnormal stop).
For 8, 10, 12, 15, and 20AY1 models, the remaining compressors will perform a backup
operation.
• The discharge gas temperature >120°C for 70 seconds.
or • The discharge gas temperature >125°C for 30 seconds.
• The discharge gas temperature >130°C
„ If the following condition is met, the relevant compressor will stop immediately and declare a
problem (abnormal stop).
The discharge gas temperature ≥150°C.

(12) STD compressor overcurrent protection control


„ The following condition is met, the system will stop operation. STD compressors will resume
operation after 30 minutes in standby. If a compressor repeats this procedure twice, "E0" will
be sent to the AIRNET. If it repeats it three times, the relevant compressor will stop.
The STD compressor current >14.95A for 2.1 seconds or more.

(13) Earth leakage detection control


1. Detection using a earth leakage detection board
If the high-pressure sensor reading exceeds 3.567 MPa, the earth leakage detector PCB will
be activated. Then the compressor operation will stop and declare a problem (abnormal
stop).
To reset, turn off the power switch (or operation switch) and turn it back on again.
2. Detection during initial power-up
The system will check for earth leakage while the compressor is running for the first 10
seconds after power-up. A compressor will stop abnormally if the power breaker is turned off
or the earth leakage detector PCB is activated during the 10-second period describe above.
If the breaker is turned off, turn the breaker on again. If the same thing happens again,
disable the defective compressor and perform a backup operation using the remaining
compressors.
With the operation switch in OFF, reset the system by turning on the power off and then back
on again.

5. Test Operation
5.1 Refrigerant Piping
[REFRIGERANT]
This System use R410A refrigerant.

Caution This unit is already filled with a certain amount of R410A.


Never open liquid and gas shutoff valve until the step Specified in “5.4. CHECKS AFTER
WORK COMPLETION”.

„ The refrigerant R410A requires strict cautions for keeping the system clean, dry and tight.
Read this chapter carefully and follow these procedures correctly.
A.Clean and dry
Foreign materials (including mineral oils such as SUNISO oil or moisture) should be
prevented from getting mixed into the system.
B.Tight
Take care to keep the system tight when installing.
R410A does not contain any chlorine, does not destroy the ozone layer, and does not
reduce the earth’s protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
R410A can contribute slightly to the greenhouse effect if it is released.
„ Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its
liquid state. If the refrigerant is charged in a state of gas, its composition changes and the
system will not work properly.
„ Be sure to perform refrigerant replenishment. Refer to “5.4 CHECKS AFTER WORK
COMPLETION” and the label of instructions on refrigerant replenishment on the cover
surface of the control box,

[DESIGN PRESSURE]
Since design pressure is 3.8MPa or 38bar (for R407C units : 3.3MPa or 33bar), the wall
thickness of pipes should be more carefully selected in accordance with the relevant local and
national regulations.

Test Operation SiENBE28-901

5.1.1 To Piping Work Contractors


„ Never open the shutoff valve until the steps specified in “5.2 FIELD WIRING” and “5.3.3
Checking of device and installation conditions” of piping.
„ Do not use flux at the time of brazing and connecting refrigerant pipes. Use phosphorous
copper brazing filler metal (BCuP-2), which does not require flux. Chlorine-based flux
causes piping corrosion. Furthermore, if fluoride is contained, the flux will have adverse
influences on the refrigerant piping line, such as the deterioration of refrigerating machine
oil.

Caution „ All field piping must be installed by a licensed refrigeration technician and must comply with
relevant local and national regulations.

[Precautions for reuse of existing refrigerant piping / heat exchangers]

Keep the following points in mind for the reuse of existing refrigerant piping / heat
exchangers.
A malfunction may result if there is deficiency.
„ Do not use the existing piping in the following cases. Perform new piping instead.
• The piping is different in size.
• The strength of the piping is insufficient.
• The compressor of the condensing unit previously used caused a malfunction.
An adverse influence of residual substances, such as the oxidation of refrigerant oil and the
generation of scale, is considered.
• If the indoor unit or outdoor unit is disconnected from the piping for a long time.
The intrusion of water and dust into the piping is considered.
• The copper pipe is corroded.
• The refrigerant of the condensing unit previously used was other than R410A (e.g., R404A /
R507 or R407C).
The contamination of the refrigerant with heterogeneity is considered.
„ If there are welded connections midway on the local piping, make gas leakage checks on the
welded connections.
„ Be sure to insulate the connection piping.
The liquid and gas pipe temperatures are as follows:
Liquid pipe arrival minimum temperature: 0°C
Gas pipe arrival minimum temperature:
–26°C (Refrigeration Series)
–46°C (Freezer Series)
In the case of thickness insufficiency, add additional insulation material or renew the existing
insulation material.
„ Renew the insulation material if the insulation material is degraded.
Keep the following points in mind for the reuse of existing heat exchangers
„ Units with insufficient design pressure (since this product is an R410A unit) require a lower-
stage design pressure of 2.5 MPa [25 bars].
„ Units for which the path to the heat exchanger has been routed so that the flow of refrigerant
is from bottom to top
„ Units with copper tubing or fan corrosion
„ Units that may be contaminated with foreign matter such as rubbish or other dirt

5.1.2 Selection of Piping Material


„ Make sure that the inner side and outer side of the piping used is clean and free of contaminants, such
as sulphur, oxide, dust, chips, oil and fat, and water.
It is desirable that the maximum oil adhesion in the piping is 30 mg per 10 m.
„ Use the following type of refrigerant piping.
Material: Seamless phosphorus deoxidized copper tube (C1220T-O for a maximum outer
diameter of 15.9 mm and C1220T-1/2H for a minimum outer diameter of 19.1 mm)
Refrigerant piping size and wall thickness: Decide the size and thickness from the following table.
(This product uses R410A. The withstand pressure of O type may be insufficient if it is
used for piping with a minimum diameter of 19.1 mm. Therefore, be sure to use 1/2 H type
with a minimum thickness of 1.0 mm.
If O type is used for piping with a minimum diameter of 19.1 mm, a minimum thickness of
1.2 mm will be required. In that case, be sure to perform the blazing of each joint.)
„ Be sure to perform piping work within the range specified in the following table.

circuit is finished. The measured insulation value will become lower if the measurement is
made with the shutoff valve opened.
„ On completion of inspection and refrigerant charging, open the shutoff valve. The
compressor will malfunction if the condensing unit is operated with the shutoff valve closed.

5.3.1 Air tight Test/Vacuum Drying

Refrigerant is enclosed in the unit.


Be sure to keep both liquid and gas shutoff valves closed at the time of an airtight test or
vacuum drying of the local piping.

[For piping work contractor]


On completion of piping work, make the following inspection precisely.
„ To ensure that the condensing unit withstand pressure properly and prevent the penetration
of foreign substances, be sure to use R410A-dedicated tools.
„ To ensure that the condensing unit withstand pressure properly and
prevent the penetration of foreign substances (water, dirt, and dust),
Gauge manifold use an R410A-dedicated gage manifold and charge hose. R410A-
Charge hose dedicated tools and R407C-dedicated tools are different in screw
specification.
„ Pay the utmost attention so that the pump oil will not flow backward
into the system while the pump is not in operation.
Vacuum pump „ Use a vacuum pump that can vacuum down to –100.7kPa (5 Torr or
–755mmHg).
Gas for airtight test use „ Nitrogen gas
„ Air tight
Pressurize the high-pressure section of the system (liquid piping) to 3.8 MPa (38 bar) and
the low-pressure section of the system (gas piping) to the design pressure (*1) of the indoor
unit (field supply) from the service port (*2) (do not exceed the design pressure). The system
is considered to have passed if there is no decrease in the pressure over a period of 24
hours.
If there is a decrease in the pressure, check for and repair leaks.

„ Use charge hoses (provided with a pushing rod each) when using the service ports.

In case of possible water intrusion into piping


Perform the above mentioned vacuum drying for 2 hours first in the following cases:
The product is installed in the rainy season, there is a fear of dew condensation resulting in the
piping because the installation work period is long, or there is a fear of rainwater intrusion into
the piping for other reasons.
Then impose a pressure of up to 0.05 MPa with nitrogen gas (for vacuum destruction) and
vacuum the unit down to –100.7 kPa or below for 1 hour with a vacuum pump (for vacuum
drying).
Repeat vacuum destruction and vacuum drying if the pressure does not reach –100.7 kPa or
below after a minimum of 2 hours’ vacuuming. Leave the vacuum state for 1 hour then, and
check that the vacuum gauge reading will not rise.

5.3.2 Thermal Insulation Work


„ Be sure to perform thermal insulation of the piping after the airtight test and vacuum drying.
„ Be sure to perform the thermal insulation of the liquid and gas pipes in the connecting piping.
Otherwise, water leakage may result.
„ Be sure to insulate liquid and gas connection piping. Failure to do so may result in water
leakage. Consult the following chart as a general guide when selecting the insulation
thickness.
„ Liquid pipe arrival minimum temperature –10°C
Gas pipe arrival minimum temperature
–20°C (MT (Medium Temperature))
–40°C (LT (Low Temperature))
„ Reinforce the insulation material for the refrigerant piping according to the environment of
thermal installation. Otherwise, the surface of the insulation material may result in dew
condensation.
„ If the dew condensation water on the shutoff valves is likely to flow to the indoor unit side
through the clearance between the insulation material and piping because the outdoor unit is
installed above the indoor unit or for some other reasons, perform appropriate treatment
such as the caulking of the joints (see the illustrations below).
„ Attach the cover of the piping outlet with a knock hole opened. If there is a feature of small
animals intruding through the piping outlet, cover the piping outlet with a blocking material
(field supply) on completion of the steps of “5.5 Additional Refrigerant Charge” (see the
illustrations below).
Use the piping outlet for jobs required during the steps of “5.5 Additional Refrigerant
Charge” (e.g., a job of taking in the charge hose).

malfunctions.)

5.6 Test Run


For test run operators
Do not operate the outdoor unit alone on a trial basis.

Test run procedure


Use the following procedure to perform a test run after installation work is complete for the
entire system:
1. Fully open the shutoff valves on the gas and liquid sides of the outdoor unit.
2. Set the RUN switch of the outdoor switch to ON.
Note: Before turning power on, check that the piping cover and control box lid of the outdoor
unit are closed.
3. Check the sealing condition of the outdoor unit through the sight glass. Make sure that the
amount of refrigerant is sufficient.
4. Make sure that cold air blows from the indoor unit.
Check that the internal temperature is dropping.
(Check that the temperature will drop and reach the set temperature in the internal unit. It will
take approximately 40 minutes for the interior temperature of the internal unit to reach –20°C.)
Check that the indoor unit (for refrigeration or freezing) goes into defrosting operation.
5. Turn power off with the RUN switch of the outdoor unit set to OFF.
(Stopping unit operation by disconnecting the power supply directly is dangerous. When the

Caution „ Do not disconnect the power supply for 1 minute after setting the operating switch to “ON”.
Electric leak detection is performed for several seconds after the operating switch is set to
“ON” and each compressor starts operating, so disconnecting the power supply during that
time will result in a false detection.

Note that the values shown above may vary significantly, depending on the environment in

2. Emergency operation in the case of a compressor with poor electrical insulation


(This only applies to a system with multiple compressors.)
Usually, if a compressor stops because of a problem, the system will automatically perform a
backup operation (i.e., emergency operation) using other, properly-functioning compressors.
However, if the source breaker trips due to poor electrical insulation of a compressor, the
whole system will shut down and no backup operation will be possible.
If this happens, you need to run the other working compressors using the following
procedures.

2-1. Procedure of emergency operation


Operating the main circuit breaker twice makes it possible to conduct the forced backup
operation. (i.e., to prohibit the operation of compressors having a failure in insulation
and only to forcedly run operable compressors.)

(Procedures)
1. Set the main circuit breaker of the outdoor unit to ON.
Restarting operation will make automatic judgement
on the insulation conditions of parts concerned
"Normal judgement":
again.
→ The operation will be

continued.
"Malfunction judgement":
The main circuit breaker will be set to OFF again.

2. Set the main circuit breaker to ON again.


(The forced backup operation will be initiated.)

Precautions:
The timing to turn OFF the circuit breaker varies with faulty parts.
If the INV compressor has a failure in insulation, the circuit breaker will be immediately
activated. However, if the STD compressor has a failure in insulation, it may take time
to activate the circuit breaker due to loads applied.

74 Air Cooled Refrigeration Condensing Unit


SiENBE28-901 Troubleshooting

2-2. Procedures to be taken after beginning emergency operation until compressor


replacement is complete and normal operation resumes
1.Change the outdoor unit operation switch from "LOCAL" or "REMOTE" to "OFF".
2.Turn off the outdoor unit's main breaker.
3.Replace the defective compressor with a new one.
4.Turn the outdoor unit breaker back on.
(*Make sure that the operation switch is set to "OFF" before turning on the main
breaker.)
5.Change the outdoor unit operation switch from "OFF" to "LOCAL" or "REMOTE".

3. Contact our service department for details about the setting procedures for the
AIRNET and service checker, and the precautions for use.
3-1. When using the AIRNET:
„ Specify the outdoor unit AirNet address settings (Setting Mode 2-06).
„ Specify the virtual indoor unit address settings (Setting Mode 2-16).
(The settings described above are necessary even if you are not using the AIRNET,
but are using an ST controller.)
(Contact our service department when connecting a system to a VRV or other
systems.)

3-2. When using a service checker:


„ Specify the virtual indoor address settings (Setting Mode 2-16).

Note: „ Be sure to stop the system operation (compressors) before running a test of the AIRNET or
using a service checker.

[Check 6] Check for Refrigerant Amount


Due to relationship to pressure control and electronic expansion valve control, the refrigerant
amount needs to be judged according to operating conditions.
Refer to information shown below for making judgements.

Diagnosis of Refrigerant Overcharge


1. High pressure becomes higher. Consequently, overload control is exerted to make the
capacity slightly inadequate.
2. The superheated degree of suction gas becomes lower (or the system is put into wet
operation). Consequently, the compressor discharge pipe temperature becomes lower for
pressure loads.
3. The subcooled degree of condensate becomes higher.

[Check 7] Vacuum Drying Procedure


To conduct vacuum drying in the piping system, follow the procedure for <Normal vacuum
drying> shown below.
Furthermore, if moisture can get mixed in the piping system, follow the procedure for <Special
vacuum drying> shown below.

<Normal vacuum drying>


1. Vacuum drying
• Use a vacuum pump that enables vacuuming to a vacuum level of -100.7kPa (5 torr, -755
mmHg).
• Connect a manifold gauge to the service port of the liquid pipe and the gas pipe
respectively, and then run the vacuum pump for a period of two or more hours to achieve
vacuuming to a vacuum level below -100.7kPa.
• If the vacuum level does not reach below -100.7kPa even after vacuuming for a period of
two hours, moisture has got mixed in the system or the system has caused vacuum
leakage. Consequently, conduct vacuuming for a period of another one hour.
• If the vacuum level does not reach below -100.7kPa even after vacuuming for a period of
three hours, conduct leak tests.
2. Leaving in vacuum state
• Leave the piping system in a vacuum state at a level below -100.7kPa for a period of one
or more hours, and then check to be sure that the vacuum gauge reading does not rise. (If
the reading rises, moisture remains in the system or vacuum leaks from the piping.)
3. Additional refrigerant charge
• Purge air from the hose connected to the manifold gauge, and then charge a necessary
amount of refrigerant.
<Special vacuum drying> - In case moisture can get mixed in the piping*:
1. Vacuum drying
• Follow the same procedure as that for normal vacuum drying 1 aforementioned.
2. Vacuum break
• Pressurize to 0.05MPa using nitrogen gas.
3. Vacuum drying
• Conduct vacuum drying for a period of one or more hours. If the vacuum level does not
reach below -100.7kPa even after vacuuming for a period of two hours, repeat Steps 2
Vacuum break and Step 3 Vacuum drying.
4. Leaving in vacuum state
• Leave the piping system in a vacuum state at a level below -100.7kPa for a period of one
or more hours, and then check to be sure that the vacuum gauge reading does not rise.
5. Additional refrigerant charge
• Purge air from the hose connected to the manifold gauge, and then charge a necessary
amount of refrigerant.
*Dew may condense in the piping due to construction during rainy season or a long
construction period or rainwater may enter the piping during construction.

PR Re-precaution: Hard-and-fast additional refrigerant charge in commissioning

Model LRLCP14D1, 2 and all other convenience-pack models

This is to inform you again of the precaution (MJ06053) "For additional charge in a commissioning of
Conveni-pack, the upper limit shall be 1.3 times as much as that calculated." Because there was a
compressor failure caused by over charge that is assumed to be due to a miscalculation.

[Case example]
At the time of calculation of the upper limit of additional charge, "Initial charge in outdoor unit" was added.
After the refrigerant was charged by the calculated upper limit above, the over charge "4.29kg (30% of
14.3kg of the initial charge in the outdoor unit)" caused the compressor failure.

[Upper limit of additional refrigerant charge in commissioning]


Correct [Additional charge in the field (Calculated value depending on piping length) ] × 1.3
Wrong [Charge at factory + Additional charge in the field (Calculated value depending on piping
length) ] × 1.3
Example: Additional charge (Calculated value) :15kg ŸThe upper limit of additional charge :
19.5kg (15 × 1.3=19.5)

[Precaution for charging refrigerant]


For additional charge, please do not charge the upper limit of refrigerant at a time.
When charging refrigerant more than additional charge in the field (calculated value), please charge
refrigerant while observing through a sight glass.
A few bubbles are not problem. So please keep strictly the upper limit of additional refrigerant charge (This

Installation of alarm

(Case example)

Because the unit stopped abnormally, and the temperature in the storage
had risen, goods preserved on the inside were deteriorated.

(Cause)

The abnormal stop occurred because of the problem of the unit, and they
display the abnormal signal. However the distant location of the unit and
lacking of the alarming system allow the damage spreads.

Solution:
The following matters must be accepted by the customer at installation.

• Any secondary damage (such as deterioration and corrosion of the


goods in the unit) is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
• Temperature control is the responsibility of the customer.

Please consider installing the alarming systems and spare units to


minimize the damage. According to the circumstances, we recommend to
arrange the damage insurance or after the sales service.

The unit is provided with a terminal to output an alarm signal.


If the system should malfunction and there is no alarm,the operation
of the unit will be interrupted for a long time and damage to the
commodities in storage may result.
The installation of an alarm is recommended in order to take
appropriate measures promptly in such cases.
For details,consult your dealer.
