Do not touch the hot or cold areas in the refrigeration cycle. When the repair or the inspection of the circuit needs to be done without turning off the power, exercise great caution not to touch the live parts. TECHNICAL CHANGES MUZ-HR25VF - MUZ-HR35VF - MUZ-HR42VF - MUZ-HR50VF - 1.
SERVICING PRECAUTIONS FOR UNITS USING REFRIGERANT R32 Servicing precautions for units using refrigerant R32 WARNING This unit uses a flammable refrigerant. If refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with fire or heating part, it will create harmful gas and there is risk of fire. Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

5. Detection of Flammable Refrigerants Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. 6. Leak Detection Methods Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of flammable refrigerants, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration.

Ambient temperature Refer to 12-6. “Test point diagram and voltage”, 1. “Inverter P.C. thermistor (RT65) board”, for the chart of thermistor.
Page 38
12-5. TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW A How to check inverter/compressor Disconnect the connector between the compressor and the power module (IC700). See 12-5. “Check of open phase”. Check the voltage between terminals. Are the voltages balanced? Replace the inverter P.C. board. Check the compressor. See 12-5.
Page 39
D Check of compressor winding ● Disconnect the connector between the compressor and the power module (IC700), and measure the resistance between the compressor terminals. <<Measurement point>> At 3 points BLK-WHT Measure the resistance between the lead wires at 3 points. BLK-RED WHT-RED <<Judgement>> Refer to 12-4. 0 [Ω] ················Abnormal [short] Infinite [Ω] ·······Abnormal [open] NOTE: Be sure to zero the ohmmeter before measurement.
Page 40
G Check of outdoor thermistors Disconnect the connector of thermistor in the inverter P.C. board (see below table), and measure the resistance of thermistor. Replace the thermistor except RT64. Is the resistance of thermistor normal? When RT64 is abnormal, replace the inverter P.C. (Refer to 12-6.1.) board.
Page 41
H Check of R.V. coil First of all, measure the resistance of R.V. coil to check if the coil is defective. Refer to 12-4. In case CN721 is disconnected or R.V. coil is open, voltage is generated between the terminal pins of the connector although no signal is being transmitted to R.V.
Page 42
I Check of outdoor fan motor Disconnect the connectors CN931 and CN932 from the inverter P.C. board. Check the connection between the connector CN931 and CN932. Is the resistance between each ter- minal of outdoor fan motor normal? (Refer to 12-4.) Disconnect CN932 from the inverter P.C.

First, release RESET button. Hold down the other 2 buttons for another 3 seconds.
Page 45
L Check of inverter P.C. board Check the outdoor fan motor. (Refer to 12-5. .) Is the fuse (F901) blown on the in- verter P.C. board? Check the connection of the connectors (CN931, CN932) of the outdoor fan motor. If the connection is poor, make it correct. Operate the outdoor unit by starting EMERGENCY OPERATION.
Page 46
M How to check miswiring and serial signal error Turn OFF the power supply. Is there rated voltage in the power supply? Check the power supply. Turn ON the power supply. Is there rated voltage between outdoor terminal block S1 and S2? Check the wiring.
