SAFETY SUMMARY

% DANGER:

– Use refrigerant R407C in the refrigerant cycle. Do not

charge oxygen, acetylene or other flammable and

poisonous gases into the refrigerant cycle when

performing a leakage test or an air-tight test. These

types of gases are extremely dangerous and can

cause an explosion. It is recommended that

compressed air, nitrogen or refrigerant be used for

these types of tests.

– Do not pour water into the indoor unit, outdoor unit or

CH unit. These products are equipped with electrical

parts. If poured, it will cause a serious electrical shock.

– Do not touch or adjust safety devices inside the indoor

or outdoor units. If these devices are touched or

readjusted, it may cause a serious accident.

– Do not open the service cover or access panel for the

indoor or outdoor units without turning OFF the main

power supply.

– Refrigerant leakage can cause difficulty with breathing

due to insufficient air. Turn OFF the main switch, put

out fire at once and contact your service contractor, if

refrigerant leakage occurs.

– The installer and system specialist shall secure safety

against leakage according to local regulations or

standards.

$ WARNING:

– Do not use any sprays such as insecticide, lacquer,

hair spray or other flammable gases within

approximately one (1) meter from the system.

– If circuit breaker or fuse is often activated, stop the

system and contact your service contractor.

– Do not perform installation work, refrigerant piping

work, drain piping and electrical wiring connection

without referring to our installation manual.

– Check that the ground wire is securely connected.

Connect a fuse of specified capacity. Do not put any

foreign material on the unit or inside the unit. Make

sure that the outdoor unit is not covered with snow or

ice, before operation.

& CAUTION:

– Do not install the indoor unit, outdoor unit, CH unit,

remote control switch and cable within approximately 3

meters from strong electromagnetic wave radiators

such as medical equipment.

– Supply electrical power to the system to energize the

oil heater for 12 hours before start-up after a long

shutdown.

? NOTE:

– It is recommended that the room be ventilated every 3

to 4 hours.

– The heating capacity of the heat pump unit declines

according to the outdoor air temperature. Therefore, it

is recommended that auxiliary heating equipment be

used in the field when the unit is installed in a low

temperature region.

High economical efficiency operation

HITACHI use the high technology to achieve the high

operation efficiency. The applications of the following

technologies provide HITACHI to achieve results like the

great power saving due to heat recovery system. During

Simultaneous cooling and heating operation, only for

FXG(1), energy is saved by the heat exchange between

indoor units.

These technologies are:

n

Supercooling Circuit

Performance improved by high-efficiency plate type of heat

exchanger.

n

DC Fan Motor with Outstanding Efficiency

The DC fan motor greatly improves efficiency compared

with conventional products having an AC motor. Also, air

blasts are reduced by controlling the rotation speed of the

fan.

n DC Compressor Using Neodymium Magnet

A DC compressor is used for all models, thus greatly

increasing efficiency in all operating areas. In particular,

performance at a low speed, which affects the annual

running cost, has greatly improved. Moreover, the peculiar

electromagnetic noise to DC compressors has been cut by

optimizing the rotor shape of the compressor.

n New Heat Exchanger

The new smaller flow resistance heat exchanger using new

aluminum fins and pressure loss in pipe decreases with

optimized path alignment provides power saving.

Also, it has achieved a lower sound operation due to lower

fan revolution.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

n Top Class Silence Operation

HITACHI use the high technology to achieve the Lowest

sound possible

These Technologies are:

§ PWM ( Pulse With Modulation) Control

Fan motor control by PWM has realized low

electromagnetic sounds remarkably.

§ Low Operation Sound Resulting from New Fan Shape

and Propeller Fan Material

The combination of most appropriate fan shape for

smooth air flow and a new material of Mica

polypropylene has resulted in a low operation sound

which was almost impractical in previous units.

§ Low Sound Operation by Low Noise Fan Motor

Aluminum die-casting was used for assembled fan

motor and low sound operation has been achieved.

And due to a non resonance suspension structure, the

vibration sound has been minimized.

n

Lower Sound Operation during Night Time

By improved at around of cabinet structure and fan

shape, and by the adoption of new material and inverter,

operation sound has been reduced.

n Reliability

HITACHI use the inverter technology to achieve the Less

failures than the standard compressors. The system

never stop and the quantity of the refrigerant than the

system request is proportional to speed compressor. The

speed compressor is proportional to frequency work ( 30-

Hz to 115Hz).

n

Flexibility

§ Flexibility Refrigerant Piping:

With the new Systems 24-30 HP FSG1 and 20-30 HP

FXG1, can achieve possible to extend longer

Wide Operation Range

This unit has been designed for cooling operation under low

ambient temperatures down to -5 ºC.

This feature enables cooling to be obtained even in winter

on buildings with high internal heat gains due to lighting,

people and machines, particularly in areas such as shops,

lecture rooms, data processing areas etc.

And the heating operation under low ambient temperature

down to -15 ºC can be also performed.

n Electronical capacity control

Precise Control with the wide Range Inverter

The compressor speed for Set-Free series outdoor unit is

controlled within a wide range of from 30Hz to 115Hz.

Therefore, smooth operation is available without frequently

using the ON/OFF control. This new wide range capacity

control can meet not only the needs of a wide space but

also a small space such as guest rooms and management

rooms. Defrosting operation can be quickly performed

because of a high compressor speed of 70~75Hz.

Electronic Control

The capacity of the Outdoor unit is continuously controlled

by the inverter from 3.3% to 130%. This wide working range

has been obtained by the improvement of shaft strength and

high pressure oil circulation in the scroll compressor.

Therefore, an air conditioning system where heat load is

greatly changed through the day is easily catered for.

Also, the capacity of indoor unit is controlled by detecting

the inlet and set room temperatures using an inverter driven

compressor. Therefore even a small room can be air

conditioned without unwanted ON/OFF operation, resulting

in comfortable air conditioning.

Individual Operation at Minimum Indoor Unit power

The electronic expansion valves installed not only in the

outdoor unit, but also in each indoor unit, control the

refrigerant flow. Hitachi achieves the reduction of the

minimum capacity up to 0.8 HP Indoor Unit to connect 20

and 30HP FXG1 Outdoor Units.

Trial operation and Self-Diagnosing by Multi-Function

Remote Control Switch and Printed Circuit Board in

Outdoor Unit

A high quality control by the new remote control switch has

been developed. The self-diagnosing function, which

enables quick checking of operation conditions in the indoor

units and outdoor unit, has been newly equipped.

Furthermore, alarm data can be put into the memory of a

micro-computer when an abnormality occurs.

A self-diagnosing function for printed circuit boards is also

available. Various operation data such as expansion valve

opening, etc. are indicated on the 7-segments on the printed

circuit board in the outdoor unit.

By these functions, saving of maintenance period and labor

during the trial operation and servicing has been achieved.

Greatly Minimized Piping Work by HITACHI "Uni-Piping

System"

The "Uni-Piping" system where the same size pipe as the

main refrigerant pipe can be utilized, has been developed.

Due to this single size, piping work has been greatly

simplified.

Also, from the point of design, complicated piping selection

has been minimized. Only two refrigerant pipes in the

refrigeration cycle are required. Various piping connection

sets are also available according to field requirements.

Due to these improvements, various problems during

installation have been solved. The new HITACHI "Uni-Piping

System" is the epoch-making system which saves

installation time and labour.

The "Uni-Piping System" is allowed up to 10HP.
