CONTROL SYSTEM
CONTENT
11. CONTROL SYSTEM
11.1 General Functions and Operating Rules (for single split
models)
The DCI software is fully parametric.
All the model dependent parameters are shown in Blue color and with Italic style
[parameter].
The parameters values are given in the last section of this control logic chapter of the
service manual.
11.2 System Operation Concept
The control function is divided between indoor and outdoor unit controllers. Indoor unit is the
system ‘Master’, requesting the outdoor unit for cooling/heating capacity supply. The outdoor
unit is the system ‘Slave’ and it must supply the required capacity unless it enters into a
protection mode avoiding it from supplying the requested capacity.
The capacity request is transferred via indoor to outdoor communication, and is represented
by a parameter called ‘NLOAD’. NLOAD is an integer number with values between 0 and
127, and it represents the heat or cool load felt by the indoor unit.
11.3 Compressor Frequency Control
11.3.1 NLOAD setting
The NLOAD setting is done by the indoor unit controller, based on a PI control scheme.
The actual NLOAD to be sent to the outdoor unit controller is based on the preliminary
LOAD calculation, the indoor fan speed, and the power shedding function.
NLOAD limits as a function of indoor fan speed:

11.4 Indoor Fan Control
CONTENT
10 Indoor fan speeds are determined for each model. 5 speeds for cool/dry/fan modes and
5 speeds for heat mode.
When user sets the indoor fan speed to a fixed speed (Low/ Medium/ High), unit will
operate constantly at set speed.
When Auto Fan is selected, indoor unit controller can operate in all speeds. The actual
speed is set according to the cool/heat load.
11.4.1 Turbo Speed
The Turbo speed is activated during the first 30 minutes of unit operation when auto fan
speed is selected and under the following conditions:
• Difference between set point and actual room temperature is bigger then 3 degrees.
• Room temperature > 22 for cooling, or < 25 for heating.
11.5 Heating Element Control
Heating element can be started if LOAD > 0.8 * MaximumNLOAD AND Indoor Coil
temperature < 45.
The heating element will be stopped when LOAD < 0.5 * MaximumNLOAD OR if Indoor
Coil temperature > 50.
11.6 Outdoor Fan Control
CONTROL SYSTEM
7 outdoor fan speeds are determined for each model. 3 speeds for cool and dry modes,
and 3 speeds for heat mode, and a very low speed.
Outdoor fan speed is a function of compressor frequency and outdoor air temperature
(OAT).
4 routines for fan control are determined. The control routine selection depends on
operation mode, compressor speed, and outdoor air temperature (OAT) and heat sink
temperature (HST).

11.7 EEV (electronic Expansion valve) Control
EEV opening is defined as EEV = EEVOL + EEV
• EEVOL is the initial EEV opening as a function of the compressor frequency, operation
mode, unit model and capacity.
• EEVCV is a correction value for the EEV opening that is based on the compressor
temperature.
• During the first 10 minutes of compressor operation EEVCV = 0.
• Once the first 10 minutes are over, the correction value is calculated as follow: EEVCV(n) =
EEVCV(n-1) + EEV
• EEV
temperature is set depending on frequency and outdoor air temperature, and the actual
compressor temperature is compared to the target temperature to set the required
correction to the EEV opening.

user set point temperature by PI control.
In high/ medium/ low indoor fan user setting, unit will operate fan in selected speed.
In AutoFan user setting, fan speed will be adjusted automatically according to the
calculated NLOAD.
11.14.1 Temperature Compensation
In wall mounted, ducted, and cassette models, 3 degrees are reduced from room
temperature reading (except when in I-Feel mode), to compensate for temperature
difference between high and low areas in the heated room, and for coil heat radiation on
room thermistor.
The temperature compensation can be enabled/disabled by shortening of J2 on the indoor
unit controller.
Indoor fan speed depends on the indoor coil temperature:

11.16 Dry Mode
As long as room temperature is higher then the set point, indoor fan will work in low speed
and compressor will work between 0 and MaxNLOADIF1C Hz.
When the room temperature is lower than the set point, compressor will be switched OFF
and indoor fan will cycle 3 minutes OFF, 1 minute ON.
11.17 Protections
There are 5 protection codes.
Normal (Norm) – unit operate normally.
Stop Rise (SR) – compressor frequency can not be raised but does not have to be
decreased.
HzDown1 (D1) – Compressor frequency is reduced by 2 to 5 Hz per minute.
HzDown2 (D2) – Compressor frequency is reduced by 5 to 10 Hz per minute.
Stop Compressor (SC) – Compressor is stopped.
Deicing operation will start when either one of the following conditions exist:
• Case 1: OCT < OAT – 8 AND TLD > DI
• Case 2: OCT < OAT – 12 AND TLD > 30 minutes.
• Case 3: OCT is Invalid AND TLD > DI
• Case 4: Unit is just switched to STBY AND OCT < OAT – 8
• Case 5: NLOAD = 0 AND OCT < OAT -8
OCT – Outdoor Coil Temperature
OAT – Outdoor Air Temperature
TLD – Time from Last Deicing
DI – Deicing Interval (Time Interval between Two Deicing)
Deicing interval time when compressor is first started in heat mode, is 10 minutes if OCT <
-2, and is 40 minutes in other cases.
Deicing interval time is changed (increased/ decreased in 10 minutes steps) as a function
of deicing time. If deicing time is shorter then former deicing time, the deicing interval time
will be increased. If deicing time is longer then former deicing time, the deicing interval time
will be decreased.

1.2 Checking the refrigeration system
Checking system pressures and other thermodynamic measures should be done when system is in
Test Mode (in Test mode, system operates in fixed settings). The performance curves given in this
manual are given for unit performance in test mode when high indoor fan speed is selected.
Entering test mode:
Set the two indoor units to Cool/16 degrees/High indoor fan speed, or Heat/30 degrees/High indoor
fan speed, and enter diagnostics. Note: the two indoor units should be set to the same mode and fan
speed.
1.3 Judgment by MSMP Diagnostics
The MSMP controller has 11 LED’s (1 STBY LED, 5 Unit LEDs and 5 Status/Fault LEDs).
STBY LED is ON when power is ON.
5 Unit LEDs refer to four Indoor units and one Outdoor unit. They will turn on one at a time and the
corresponding Indoor/Outdoor unit status/fault code will be displayed on the Status/Fault LEDs. If
the unit is normal (no fault), the unit LED and the corresponding status will be displayed for 5
seconds and move to the next unit LED. On the other hand, if the unit is in fault, the unit LED and
the corresponding fault will be displayed for 10 seconds, and hence more time to read the fault code.

1.5 Simple procedures for checking the Main Parts
1.5.1 Checking Mains Voltage.
Confirm that the Mains voltage is between 198 and 264 VAC. If Mains voltage is out of this range,
abnormal operation of the system is expected. If in range check the Power (Circuit) Breaker and
look for broken or loosed cable lugs or wiring mistake(s).
1.5.2 Checking Power Input.
If Indoor unit power LED is unlighted, power down the system and check the fuse of the Indoor unit. If the fuse
is OK replace the Indoor unit controller. If the fuse has blown, replace the fuse and power up again.
Checking Power Input procedure for the Outdoor unit is the same as with the Indoor unit.

1.5.3 Checking the PCB.
Appearance inspect: Check discoloration, nick and connection of copper foil, short-circuit and open
circuit, component soldering, bulgy and distortion of electrolytic capacitor.
Power circuit check: check voltage of every power level (5V, 12V, 15V) printed on back of PCB.
1.5.4 Checking the Outdoor Fan Motor.
Enter Test Mode (where the OFAN speed is high)
Check the voltage between lead wires according to the normal value as following:
Between red wire and black wire: 310VDC +/- 20V
Between orange wire and black wire: 15VDC +/- 1V
Between yellow wire and black wire: 2-6VDC
1.5.5 Checking the Compressor.
The compressor is brushless permanence magnetic DC motor. Three coil resistances are THE
same. Check the resistance between three poles.
1.5.6 Checking the Reverse Valve (RV).
Running in heating mode, check the voltage between two pins of reverse valve connector,
normal voltage is 220VAC.
1.5.7 Checking the electrical expansion valve (EEV).
The EEV has two parts, drive part and valve. The drive part is a step motor; it is ringed on the
valve. Check the drive voltage (12VDC). When Outdoor unit is power on, EEV shall run and
have click and vibration.
1.6 Precaution, Advise and Notice Items
1.6.1 High voltage in Outdoor unit controller.
Whole controller, including the wires, connected to the Outdoor unit controller may have the
potential hazard voltage when power is on. Touching the Outdoor unit controller may cause an
electrical shock.
Advise: Don’t touch the naked lead wire and don’t insert finger, conductor or anything else into
the controller when power is on.
1.6.2 Charged Capacitors
Three large-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used in the Outdoor unit controller. Therefore,
charging voltage (380VDC) remains after power down. Discharging takes about three minutes
after turned off. Touching the Outdoor unit controller before discharging may cause an electrical
shock. When open the Outdoor unit controller cover, don’t touch the soldering pin by hand or by
any conductive material.
Advise: 1. Open the Outdoor unit controller cover only after five minutes from power down.
2. Measure the electrolytic capacitors voltage before farther checking controller for
safety.
1.6.3 Additional advises
12-6
When disassemble the controller or the front panel, turn off the power supply.
When connecting or disconnecting the connectors on the PCB, hold the whole housing, don’t
pull the wire.
There are sharp fringes and sting on shell. Use gloves when disassemble the A/C units.
