Panasonic Cs W34bd3p Cs W43bd3p Series Repair Manual

							20.1. Test operation
 
    • 
• •  • 
Always be sure to use a properly-insu lated tool to operate
the switch on the circuit board. (Do not use your finger or a
metallic object).
 
    • 
• •  • 
Never turn on the power supply until all installa tion work has
been completed.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Turn on the circuit breaker before test operation extends
past 6 hours.
(The crankcase heater will become energized, which will
warm the compressor and prevent liquid compression.)
 
    • 
• •  • 
For three-phase models, check that the phase is not
reversed.
(Outdoor unit printed circuit board)
During outdoor unit emergency operation or test operation, the
LEDs on the printed circuit board will flash.
To cancel test operation, press the TEST or RUN button once
more while test operation is being carried out.
(Test operation will stop automatically after 30 minutes have
passed.)
NOTE:
 1. These units are equipped with connection error prevention
circuits. If the units do not operate, it is possible that the
connection error prevention circuits have operated. In such
cases, check that the drive wires (connected to terminals [1]
and [2]) and the control wires (connected to terminals [3]
and [4]) are connected correctly. If they are connected
incorrectly, connect them correctly. Normal operation
should then commence.(If the phase is reversed, the LED on the printed circuit
board will flash.)
 
    • 
• •  • 
Check that the voltage is 198 V or higher when starting the
unit. (The unit will not operate if the voltage is less than
198V.)
 
    • 
• •  • 
Carry out test operation for 5 minutes or more using the
remote control or the switch on the outdoor unit printed
circuit board.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Always carry out cooling first during test operation, even
during the warm season.
(If heating is carried out first, problems with operation of the
compressor will result.)
 2. Do not short the remote control unit wires to each other.
(The protection circuit will be activated and the units will not
operate.)
Once the cause of the short is eliminated, normal operation
will then be possible.

							21 SETTING OF SAVE ENERGY AND THERMISTOR SWITCH
21.1. Energy save setting
Open the cover remote control unit and confirm the presence of the [ RP1] marking.
Energy save setting method should be different for with [ RP1] marking and without [RP1] marking.
85 
						

							22 GROUP CONTROL
1 Setting group for 1 remote control unit
 
    • 
• •  • 
W hen using a remote control thermostat, the thermostat setting is used for all indoor units in the group.
 
    • 
• •  • 
During group control, up to a maximum of 16 indoor units can be connected. (Do not mix heat pump units and cooling only
units.)
 
    • 
• •  • 
Do not mix manua l settings and automatic settings. (Manual settings take priority.)
 
    • 
• •  • 
The master unit and slave units can all be centrally controlled during group control.
Automatic setting for group control
 
    • 
• •  • 
If the power supplie s for indoor units which are connected are turned on simultaneousl y, the indoor unit numbe rs will be
determined automatically after approximately 1 minute. (DIP switch settings are not necessary.)
NOTE:
 
    • 
• •  • 
Correct wiring connections are basic requirements for automatic setting. If the wires are connected incorrectly when the power
is turned on, the settings will not be made correctly and operation will not be possible.
 
    • 
• •  • 
W hen address numbe rs are set automatically , you will not know which address numbe r corresponds to which indoor unit.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Do not turn off the power supply for at least 1 minute duringautomatic address setting, otherwise the settings will not be made
correctly.
Automatic address resetting for group control
After setting DIP switches 1 to 4 to OFF and stop operation. Then press the “AIR SWING AUTO”, “OPERATION MODE” and “Air
conditioner No.” switches simultaneousl y. Then addresses will be momentarily reset, and then automatic address setting will be
carried out once more.
Switching the thermistor
 
    • 
• •  • 
The temperature detection thermistor used for detecting the air temperature and changing between COOL and HEAT
operation can be switched between the thermistor at the indoor unit and the thermistor at the remote control unit box.
However, do not switch to the remote control unit thermistor if using two remote control units.
 1. While operation is stopped, press and hold the STOP/RUN switch, and then press the UP andDOWN
switches together.
 2. DO or 01 will appear in the time display .
 3. Press theFORWARD orBACK timer switches to switch thedisplay between 00 and 01 . 00 ... Indoor unit setting
(factory default ) 01 ... Remote control unit setting
 4. Press the RESERVE switch. (Be sure to press the RESERVE switch so that normal operation mode can be resumed.)
 
    • 
• •  • 
Repeat the procedure in steps (1) to (4) to change the setting again.
86 
						

							If test operation does not proceed correctly
Carry out test operation after approximately 6 hours have passed
since the power was turned on (crankcase heater is energized). If
operation is started by using the remote control within 1 minute of
turning on the power, the outdoor unit settings will not be made
correctly and correct operation will not be possible.
If the following symptoms occur after turning on the power,
check the wiring connections once more.

possible.
However, if operation is then started in this condition,
the combination of the 28BB outdoo r unit and the 14BB
indoor unit (master unit) will cause abnormal operation
of indoor unit No. 2 to occur.

 3. The main power is turned on while the remote control
connection cord is not connected (open circuit at section
C).Symptom:
Nothing abnormal appears on the remote control
display , and operation of indoor unit. No. 1 and indoor
unit No. 2 is possible.
However, indoor unit No. 3 cannot be operated.
Remedy
 1. Turn off the main power.
↓
 2. Conne ct the disconnected wires correctly.
↓
 3. Turn the main power back on.
↓
 4. After 1 minute, start operation using the remote control.
(Indoor units . . . Operation will start according to the
remote control setting.)
(Outdoor units...Operation will start after 3-5 minutes.)
If slave units do not operate even after the wiring has been
corrected (automatic addressing is not possible)
 1. Check that DIP switches 1 to 4 and DIP switch 8 are all
set to OFF, and then stop operation.
↓
 2. Press the “AIRSWING AUTO”, “OPERATION ” and “A/C
No.” buttons simultaneousl y.
The addresses will be momentarily reset, and then
automatic address setting will be carried out once more.
The above procedure cannot be used to carry out automatic
address resetting of twin/triple control.
(Note on automatic address setting)
The printed circuit boards automatically store the connected
system configuration when power is supplie d. As a result,
once the power has been turned on for these printed circuit
boards, the units can not be changed about within the
system, even if the units are of the same model and have
same capacity.

							 1. Automatic address setting (no need to have dip-switch set)
If the wiring connected properly as above example, the address is set automatically by the main powersupply. An indoor unit
with remote control will be set as the master. If the power source is installe d to indoor units and outdoor separately, turn on the
switch as the following procedure: outdoo r unit, indoor unit with control, and other indoor units.
When theslave units do not operate (when address cannot be set)
Important: The address for the group control cannot be reset, using the above mentioned procedure.
 2. Manua l address setting (by dip-switchDSW1)
When you set theaddress manua lly, set the dip-switch of the PC board in the indoor unit as follow:
