2.6 Thermistors operation
2.6.1 Return air Temp. is detected by RAT in normal Mode, or by RCT (R/C sensor) in I-FEEL Mode.
2.6.2 Indoor Coil Temp. is detected by ICT.
2.6.3 Outdoor Coil Temp. is detected by OCT.
2.6.4 Definition of thermistor faults:
a. Thermistor is disconnected -
The thermistor reading is below -30
o
c.
b. Thermistor is shorted -
The thermistor reading is over 75
o
c.
c. Thermistor Temp reading doesn’t change -
(i) This test is performed only once after a unit is switched from OFF/STBY to operation. At the first occurrence of
10 min continuous COMP operation, the current ICT are compared with those when the COMP was switched
from OFF to ON 10 min before. If the 'T is less than 3
o
c, the thermistor is regarded as defective.
(ii) The ICT no-change error can be disabled together by connecting a 4.7 k ohm resistor (5%) to the ICT connector.
These resistors are equivalent to a thermistor 48+/-1
o
c.
2.6.5 Cases for disabling ICT thermistor disconnected detection
i. The detection of thermistor faults (a) and (b) above is disabled when Deicer Protection is started. The
detection will be enabled again only after (1) the deicing is completed, and (2) COMP has been restarted and
operated for 30 sec.
ii. When all the following conditions are fulfilled:
a. 4.7K Ohm resistor is connected on the OCT
b. IFAN is OFF
c. Compressor is ON
d. ICT < -30 (disconnected)
2.7 RV Fault
This test is applied only in compressor units where 4.7k Ohm is not connected to the OCT.
This test is performed every time
the unit is switched from OFF/STBY to OPER in Heat mode or changes operation mode from
COOL/DRY to HEAT or (this applies also in AUTO COOL/HEAT mode).
If ICT is lower than 35
0
C at the time of mode change, then at the first occurrence of 15 min continuous COMP operation, ICT is
compared with ICT reading when the COMP was switched from OFF to ON 15 min before. RV fault is defined when ICT decreases
in more than 5
0
C.
In this case, the COMP will stop and the SB led will blink. This fault is reset after going to SB or mode change.
2.8 General features
2.8.1 Allowed (control target) rage for RAT is SPT +/-1oC.
2.8.2 Whenever the unit is changed from Cool/Dry/STBY mode to Heat mode or vice versa, the procedures below are
followed:
Stop COMP for 3 min o Change RV state o Start COMP if necessary.
