For the new motor terminal port (also for the Anion generator) CN43:
1. When the indoor blower is running, CN 43 will be powered on with line voltage (208 or 230). Use this connection to power a relay for controlling
a separate circuit for outdoor air fan or other peripheral.
2. When the unit enters force cooling mode or capacity testing mode, CN43 powers off.

REFRIGERANT LINES
General refrigerant line sizing
1. The outdoor units are shipped with a full charge of R410A refrigerant. All charges, line sizing, and capacities are based on runs of 25 ft. (7.6 m).
For runs over 25 ft. (7.6 m), consult the product data.
2. Minimum refrigerant line length between the indoor and outdoor units is 10 ft. (3 m).
3. Refrigerant lines should not be buried in the ground. If it is necessary to bury the lines, not more than 36 in. (914 mm) should be buried. Provide
a minimum 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the service valves to prevent refrigerant migration.
4. Both lines must be insulated. Use a minimum of ½ in. (12.7 mm) thick insulation. Closed-cell insulation is recommended in all long-line applica-
tions.
5. Special consideration should be given to isolating interconnecting tubing from the building structure. Isolate the tubing so that vibration or noise
is not transmitted into the structure.
6. For piping runs greater than 25 ft. (7.6 m), add refrigerant up to the allowable length as specified in the product data.

TROUBLESHOOTING Test the voltage between P and N on back of the main PCB with a
multimeter. If the voltage is lower than 36V, the capacitors are fully
discharged.
WARNING
Be sure to turn off all power supplies or disconnect all wires to avoid
electric shock.
While checking indoor/outdoor PCB, please equip oneself with anti-
static gloves or wrist strap to avoid damage to the board.

WARNING
Electricity remains in capacitors even when the power supply is off.
Ensure the capacitors are fully discharged before troubleshooting.

NOTE: Figure 13 is for reference only. The actual appearance
may differ.
Error Display (Indoor Unit)
When the indoor unit encounters a recognized error, the operation lamp flashes in a corresponding series, the timer lamp may turn on or begin
flashing, and an error code appears (see Table 10).

• Use a multimeter to test the DC voltage between 2 port (or S or L2 port) and 3 port (or N or S port) of the outdoor unit.
• The red pin of the multimeter connects with the 2 port (or S or L2 port) while the black pin is for 3 port (or N or S port).
• When the AC is normal running, the voltage is moving alternately as positive values and negative values.
• If the outdoor unit malfunctions, the voltage has always been the positive value.
• If the indoor unit malfunctions, the voltage maintains a certain value.
