SERVICING
(2.1 Outdoor Unit)
(1) Removing PCBs
(a) Remove two (2) screws fixing the electrical box cover and remove the electrical box cover.
(b) Disconnect the connector connected to the PCB and clamp the middle portion of the holder by
pinchers and pull it out. Pull the PCB by applying a force by finger to the portion near the holder of
the PCB from the rear side.
(c) Replacing Inverter PCB (PCB3)
After removing four (4) M3 screws and remove bushes and collars from the PCB.
When remounting, firmly mount the bushes
and collars.
TURN OFF all power source switches.
1. When replacing transistor module (IPM) and diode module (DM) on heat radiation fins, spread silicone
grease (made by Shinetsu Chemical Co., G746) lightly over the surface touching fins.
2. Identify terminals Nos. with the mark band Nos. when reassembling. If incorrectly connected,
malfunctions or damages of electric components will occur.
3. Correctly insert two wires of U and V phases for the power cable of Inv. Comp. into the current sensor,
CTU and CTV on PCB3. Connect the U phase of the power cable and U phase of the current sensor as
a combination, and the V phase of the power cable and V phase of the current sensor as a combination
respectively. If incorrectly connected, malfunction or damages will occur.
4. Do not clamp electrical wires between a mounting electric component and plates or electric parts when a
PCB is remounted.
5. Screws, bushes and collars are used to fix the inverter PCB. Check to ensure that the bushes and
collars are used when fixing the inverter PCB again. If not used, it may cause malfunction.
6. In the case that the control PCB is replaced, set all the dip switch at the same position as the original
ones were. If not set, malfunction may occur.
7. Do not apply a strong force to electric components and PCBs to avoid damages.
2.1.15 Removing Electrical Components
(RAS-5FSG, RAS-8FSG, RAS-10FSG, RAS-16FSG, RAS-20FSG, RAS-5FS3, RAS-8FS3,
RAS-10FS3, RAS-16FS3, RAS-20FS3, RAS-8FXG, RAS-10FXG, RAS-8FX3 and RAS-10FX3)
Do not touch the electrical parts when the LED3 (Red) on the SNUBBER PCB (PCB5) or
the LED2 (Red) on the Inverter PCB (PCB3) is lit, since the voltage is higher than 50V.
