Once the operation mode are set, the same operation mode can be repeated by simply turning the OPERATE/STOP(ON/OFF) button ON. Indoor unit receives the signal with a beep tone. When the system turns off, 3-minute time delay will operate to protect system from overload and compressor will not restart for 3 minutes.
8-1. “I FEEL CONTROL” ( ) OPERATION
(1) Press OPERATE/STOP(ON/OFF) button on the remote
controller. Operation Indicator lamp of the indoor unit turns on with a beep tone.
(2) Select “I FEEL CONTROL”( ) mode with the
OPERATION SELECT button.
(3) The operation mode is determined by the room
temperature at start-up of the operation.
Initial room temperature
25: or more more than 13:,
less than 25:
Once the mode is fixed, the mode does not change by room temperature afterwards.
Under the ON-TIMER ( ) operation, the mode is determined according to the room temperature as the operation starts.
When the system is stopped with the OPERATE/STOP(ON/OFF) button on the remote controller, and restarted within 2 hours in “I FEEL CONTROL” ( ) mode, the system operates in previous mode automatically regardless of the room temperature.

(5) TEMPERATURES buttons
In “I FEEL CONTROL” ( ) mode, set temperature is decided by the microprocessor based on the room temperature.
In addition, set temperature can be controlled by TOO WARM or TOO COOL buttons when you feel too cool or too warm. Each time the TOO WARM or TOO COOL button is pressed, the indoor unit receives the signal and emits a beep tone.
Fuzzy control
When the TOO COOL or TOO WARM button is pressed, the microprocessor changes the set temperature, considering the room temperature, the frequency of pressing TOO COOL or TOO WARM button and the user’s preference to heat or cool. So this is called “Fuzzy control”, and works only in “I FEEL CONTROL” mode. In DRY mode of “I FEEL CONTROL”, the set temperature doesn’t change.

2. Coil frost prevention
1 Temperature control
When the indoor coil thermistor RT12 reads -1°C or below, the coil frost prevention mode starts immediately. However, the coil frost prevention doesn’t work after 5 minutes since the compressor has started. Indoor fan operates at the set speed and the compressor stops for 5 minutes. After that, if RT12still reads below -1°C this mode is prolonged until the RT12 reads over -1°C.
2 Time control
When the three conditions as follows have been satisfied for 1 hour and 45 minutes, compressor stops for 3 minutes. a. Compressor has been continuously operating. b. Indoor fan speed is Lo or Me. c. Room temperature is below 26°C. When compressor stops, the accumulated time is cancelled and when compressor restarts, time counting starts from the beginning. Time counting also stops temporarily when the indoor fan speed becomes Hi or the room temperature exceeds 26°C. However, when two of the above conditions (b.and c.) are satisfied again.Time accumulation is resumed.

—DRY mode of “I FEEL CONTROL”—
The system for dry operation uses the same refrigerant circuit as the cooling circuit. The compressor and the indoor fan are controlled by the room temperature. By such controls, indoor flow amounts will be reduced in order to lower humidity without much room temperature decrease.
1. Indoor fan speed control
Indoor fan operates at the set speed by FAN SPEED CONTROL button. However, in AUTO fan operation, fan speed becomes Lo.
2. The operation of the compressor and indoor fan/ outdoor fan
Compressor operates by room temperature control and time control. Set temperature is controlled to fall 2°C from initial room temperature.
Indoor fan and outdoor fan operate in the same cycle as the compressor.
• When the room temperature is 23°C or over: When the thermostat is ON, the compressor repeats 8 minutes ON and 3 minutes OFF.
When the thermostat is OFF, the compressor repeats 4 minutes OFF and 1 minute ON.
• When the room temperature is under 23°C. When the thermostat is ON, the compressor repeats 2 minutes ON and 3 minutes OFF. When the thermostat is OFF, the compressor repeats 4 minutes OFF and 1 minute ON.

8-5. FAN MOTOR CONTROL
(1) Rotational frequency feedback control
The indoor fan motor is equipped with a rotational frequency sensor, and outputs signal to the microprocessor to feedback the rotational frequency. Comparing the current rotational frequency with the target rotational frequency (Hi,Me,Lo,SLEEP), the microprocessor controls IC141 and adjusts fan motor electric current to make the current rotational frequency close to the target rotational frequency. With this control, when the fan speed is switched, the rotational frequency changes smoothly.
(2) Fan motor lock-up protection
When the rotational frequency feedback signal has not output for 12 seconds, (or when the microprocessor cannot
detect the signal for 12 seconds) the fan motor is regarded locked-up. Then the electric current to the fan motor is shut
off. 3 minutes later, the electric current is applied to the fan motor again. During the fan motor lock-up, the Operation
Indicator lamp flashes on and off to show the fan motor abnormality. (See page 19.)
8-6. AUTO VANE OPERATION
(1) Vane motor drive
These models are equipped with a stepping motor for the horizontal vane. The rotating direction, speed, and angle of
the motor are controlled by pulse signals (approx. 12V) transmitted from indoor microprocessor.
(2) The horizontal vane angle and mode changes as follows by pressing the VANE CONTROL ( ) button.

Page 14
(3) Positioning
The vane is once pressed to the vane stopper below to confirm the standard position and then set to the desired angle. Confirming of standard position is performed in case of follows. (a) When the OPERATE/STOP(ON/OFF) button is pressed. (b) When the vane control is changed from AUTO to MANUAL. (c) When the SWING is finished. (d) When the test run starts. (e) When the power supply turns ON.
(4) VANE AUTO ( ) mode
In VANE AUTO mode, the microprocessor automatically determines the vane angle and operation to make the optimum room-temperature distribution.
1 In COOL and DRY operation
Vane angle is fixed to Angle 1.
2 In FAN operation
Vane angle is fixed to Angle 4.
(5) Dew prevention
During COOL or DRY operation at Vane Angle 4 or 5 when the compressor cumulative operation time exceeds 1 hour, the vane angle automatically changes to Angle 1 for dew prevention.

9-2. P.C. BOARD MODIFICATION FOR INDIVIDUAL OPERATION
A maximum of 4 indoor units with wireless remote controllers can be used in a room. In this case, to operate each indoor unit individually by each remote controller, P.C. boards of remote controller must be modified according to the number of the indoor unit.
How to modify the remote controller P.C. board
Remove batteries before modification. The board has a print as shown below :
NOTE : For remodelling, take out
the batteries at first. After finish remodelling, put back the batteries then push the RESET button.
The P.C.board has the print “J1” and “J2”. Jumper wires are mounted to each “J1” and “J2”. Cut J1 and J2 according to the number of indoor unit as shown in Table 1.. After modification,push the reset button.
Table 1.
NOTE :
At power supply failure or installation, indoor unit deletes the memory about remote controller. When the power supply is turned on and indoor unit receives the first signals from the remote controller, the remote controller number is designated as the indoor unit number. Therefore at and after the second time indoor unit accepts the remote controller of the initial setting number. At setting-error, turn the power supply off to cancel the individual operation, and then turn the power supply on to restart the setting.

When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, set temperature, and the fan speed are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C.board. The “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” sets to work the moment power has restored after power failure.Then, the unit will restart automatically. However if the unit is operated in “I FEEL CONTROL.” mode before power failure, the operation is not memorized. In “I FEEL CONTROL.” mode, the operation is decided by the initial room temperature.
How to set “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION”
1Turn off the main power for the unit. 2Remove the electronic control P.C. board and the display P.C.board.(See page 24.) 3Cut the RESISTOR JR06 on the indoor electronic control P.C.board.
Operation
1If the main power (220/240V AC) has been cut, the operation settings remain. 2After the power is restored, the unit restarts automatically according to the memory.(However, it takes at least 3 minutes
for the compressor to start running.)
NOTE:
The operation settings are memorized when 10 seconds have passed after the indoor unit was operated with the remote
controller.
If main power is turned off or a power failure occurs while AUTO START/STOP timer is active, the timer setting is
cancelled.
If the unit has been off with the remote controller before power failure, the auto restart function does not work as the
power button of the remote controller is off.
To prevent breaker off due to the rush of starting current, systematize other home appliances not to turn on at the same
time.
When some air conditioners are connected under the same power system,compressor starting current as large
as that for all the compressors used flows at a time as soon as the units restart automatically. Therefore, the specific counter-measures are required to prevent main voltage drop or the rush of starting current by providing the system to allow the units to start in regular succession.

10-1. Cautions on troubleshooting
1. Before troubleshooting, check the following:
1) Check the power supply voltage.
2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for mis-wiring.
2. Take care the following during servicing.
1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to first turn off the remote controller to stop the unit, and then after confirming the horizontal vane is closed, turn off the breaker and / or disconnect the power plug.
2) When removing the electronic control P.C. board, hold the edge of the board with care NOT to apply stress on the components.
3) When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, hold the housing of the connector. DO NOT pull the lead wires.
3. Troubleshooting procedure
1) First, check if the OPERATION INDICATOR lamp on the indoor unit is flashing on and off to indicate an abnormality. To make sure, check the abnormality indication for 2 or 3 times before starting service work.
2) If the electronic control P.C. board is supposed to be defective, check the copper foil pattern for disconnection and the components for bursting and discoloration.
3) When troubleshooting, refer to the flow chart and the check table on page 19.
4. How to replace batteries
Weak batteries may cause the remote controller malfunction. In this case, the remote controller can not be repaired only by the battery replacement. To operate the remote controller normally, discharge the remote controller in the following order. This remote controller has the RESET button. After refilling new batteries, press the RESET button with tip end of ball point pen or the like, and then use the remote controller.
