1 . DESCRIPTION OF EACH

CONTROL OPERATION

1. COOLING OPERATION

1-1 COOLING CAPACITY CONTROL

A sensor (room temperature thermistor) built in the indoor unit body will usually perceive
difference or variation between a set temperature and present room temperature, and
controls the operation frequency of the compressor.

* If the room temperature is 4°F(2°C) higher than a set temperature, the compressor operation

frequency will attain to maximum performance.

* If the room temperature is 5°F(2.5°C) lower than a set temperature, the compressor will be

stopped.

* When the room temperature is between +4°F(+2°C) to -5°F(-2.5°C) of the setting temperature,

the compressor frequency is controlled within the range shown in Table1.
However, the maximum frequency is limited in the range shown in Figure1 based on the
fan speed mode and the outdoor temperature.

11. TEST OPERATION CONTROL

Under the condition where the air conditioner runs, press the test run button of the remote
control, and the test operation control mode will appear. During test running, the operation lamp
and timer lamp of the air conditioner body twinkle simultaneously. Set the test operation mode,
and the compressor will continue to run regardless of whether the room temperature sensor detects.
The test operation mode is released if 60 minutes have passed after setting up the test operation.

12. PREVENT TO RESTART FOR 3 MINUTES ( 3 MINUTES ST )

The compressor won't enter operation status for 2 minutes and 20 seconds after the compressor is
stopped, even if any operation is given.

13. FOUR-WAY VALVE EXTENSION SELECT

At the time when the air conditioner is switched from the cooling mode to heating mode, the
compressor is stopped, and the four-way valve is switched in 2 minutes and 20 seconds later after
the compressor stopped.

14. AUTO RESTART

When the power was interrupted by a power failure, etc. during operation, the operation contents
at that time are memorized and when power is recovered, operation is automatically started with
the memorized operation contents.
When the power is interrupted and recovered during timer operation, since the timer operation time
is shifted by the time the power was interrupted, an alarm is given by blinking (7 sec ON/2 sec OFF)
the indoor unit body timer lamp.

and 1 second OFF on both operation LED and timer LED (same as test operation).
Forced cooling operation is released after 60 minutes of starting operation.
The FORCED COOLING OPERATION will start as shown in Table13.

17. COMPRESSOR PREHEATING

When the outdoor temperature is lower than 68°F(20°C) and the heating operation has been
stopped for 30 minutes, power is applied to the compressor and the compressor is heated.
(By heating the compressor, warm air is quickly discharged when operation is started.)
When operation was started and when the outdoor temperature rises to 77°F(25°C) or greater,
preheating is ended.

18. MINIMUM HEAT OPERATION

22. VARIOUS PROTECTIONS

1. DISCHARGE GAS TEMPERATURE OVERRISE PREVENSION CONTROL

The discharge gas thermosensor (discharge thermistor : Outdoor side) will detect discharge gas
temperature.

When the discharge temperature becomes higher than Temperature ,the compressor frequency
is decreased 20rps, and it continues to decrease the frequency for 20rps every 120 seconds until
the temperature becomes lower than Temperature .

When the discharge temperature becomes lower than Temperature , the control of the control of
the compressor frequency is released.

When the discharge temperature becomes higher than Temperature ,the compressor is stopped
and the indoor unit LED starts blinking.
