8.3.Soft Dry Operation

Soft Dry operation can be set using remote control.

Soft Dry operation is applied to dehumidify and to perform a gentle cooling to the room.

This operation starts when the intake air temperature sensor reaches the setting temperature on the remote control.

When operation begins, Soft Dry will be switched “ON” for a maximum 10 minutes, then Soft Dry operation will be turned “OFF” for a minimum 6 minutes. After that, the Soft Dry operation will be “ON” and “OFF” based on the setting temperature as shown in below figure.

However after 3 minutes of compressor off, during Soft Dry “OFF” (within 6 minutes Soft Dry restart control), the indoor unit will start to operate at normal Cooling mode if the intake temperature is higher than Cooling “ON” point.

8.4.Automatic Operation

Automatic operation can be set using remote control.

This operation starts to operate with indoor fan at SLo speed for 25 seconds to judge the intake air temperature.

After judged the temperature, the operation mode is determined by refering to the below standard.

Then, the unit start to operate at determined operation mode, until it is switched off using remote control, with the setting temperature as shown in below table.

Operation mode will be determine again for judgement after 1 hour of operation, if the room temperature reaches to set temperature and compressor off time is over 7 minutes 30 seconds continuously.

The present mode will be continued, if the room temperature does not reach to set temperature (Compressor keeps running) eventhrough after 1 hour from automatic operation mode started.

8.5.Operation Control

8.5.1. Restart Control (Time Delay Safety Control)

• When the thermo-off temperature (temperature which compressor stops to operate) is reached during:- − Cooling/Heating operation - the compressor stops for 3 minutes (minimum) before resume operation. − Soft Dry operation - the compressor stops for 6 minutes (minimum) before resume operation.

• If the operation is stopped by the remote control, the compressor will not turn on within 3 minutes from the moment operation stop, although the unit is turn on again within the period.

• This phenomenon is to balance the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle.

8.5.2. Compressor Reverse Rotation Protection Control

If the compressor is operating continuously for 5 minutes or longer and the temperature difference between intake air and indoor heat exchanger is 2.5°C (cooling mode)/5°C (heating mode) or less for continuous 2 minutes, compressor will stop and restart automatically.

Time Delay Safety Control is activated before the compressor restart.

T = Intake air temperature - Indoor heat exchanger temperature

This is to prevent compressor from rotate reversely when there is an instantaneous power failure.

19

CS-A18DKD CU-A18DKD / CS-A24DKD CU-A24DKD

(For 8.5.3. to 8.5.7. information applies only to Cooling and Soft Dry Operation)

8.5.3.7 Minutes Time Save Control

The compressor will start automatically if it has stopped for 7 minutes and the intake air temperature falls between the compressor ON temperature (A) and compressor OFF temperature (B) during the period.

This phenomenon is to reduce the built up humidity inside a room.

8.5.4. 60 Seconds Forced Operation

Once the air conditioner is turned on, the compressor will not stop within 60 seconds in a normal operation although the intake air temperature has reached the thermo-off temperature. However, force stop by pressing the OFF/ON operation button at the remote control is permitted.

The reason for the compressor to force operate at minimum 60 seconds is to allow the refrigerant oil run in a full cycle and return back to the outdoor unit.

8.5.5. Starting Current Control

When the compressor, outdoor fan motor and indoor fan motor are simultaneously started, the indoor fan motor will start to operate at 1.6 second later.

The reason of the difference is to reduce the starting current flow.

8.5.6. Anti-Freezing Control

If the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger falls below 2°C continuously for 4 minutes or more, the compressor turns off. The fan speed setting remains the same.

This phenomenon is to protect the indoor heat exchanger from freezing and to prevent higher volume of refrigerant in liquid form returning to the compressor.

Compressor will restart again when the indoor heat exchanger temperature rises to 10°C (Recovery).

Restart control (Time Delay Safety Control) will be applied in this Control if the recovery time is too short.

20

CS-A18DKD CU-A18DKD / CS-A24DKD CU-A24DKD

8.5.7.Anti-Dew Formation Control

Purpose is to prevent dew formation on indoor unit air discharge area.

When room temperature is constant (±1°C) the following conditions occur for 30 minutes continuously, anti-dew formation will activate:

Remote Control setting temperature is less than 25°C.

Compressor is on.

Cooling operation mode.

Indoor Fan motor operate at Low fan speed or QLo.

This control is cancelled immediately when above condition is changed.

Anti-Dew formation is control by:

1.Increasing Air Flow Volume

a.Lo fan speed

Lo fan speed is changed to Lo+ after 30 min to prevent dew formation.

b.QLo fan speed

Dew formation may occurs at QLo cool, therefore QLo cool is operated only 1 hr 30 min (1 hr QLo, 30 min QLo +100 rpm). After that, it operates at QLo +180rpm (However Quiet LED remains on).

2.Norrowing

Vertical Airflow Direction

During Anti-dew condensation prevention, Airflow Direction Auto-control angle change from 10° - 38° to 10° - 27° under Cooling and Soft Dry operation mode.

21

CS-A18DKD CU-A18DKD / CS-A24DKD CU-A24DKD

During Anti-dew condensation prevention, Airflow Direction Manual control angle change from 10°, 14°, 18°, 22°, 27° to 10°, 13°, 16°, 19°, 22° under Cooling and Soft Dry operation mode.

3.Narrowing

Horizontal Airflow Direction

During Anti-dew condensation prevention, Airflow Direction Auto-control angle change from 0° - 44° to 14° - 30° under Cooling and Soft Dry operation mode.

During Anti-dew condensation prevention, Airflow Direction Manual control angle change from 0°, 11°, 22°, 33°, 44° to 14°, 18°, 22°, 26°, 30° under Cooling and Soft Dry operation mode.

(For 8.5.8. to 8.5.13. information applies only to Heating Operation)

8.5.8.Overload Protection Control

Outdoor Fan Control

If the temperature of the Outdoor Heat Exchanger less than -3°C, Outdoor Fan is ON. The Outdoor Fan stop, when Outdoor Heat Exchanger temperature is T or more according to Outdoor Air Temperature region as table below:

The Outdoor Fan restarts when the indoor heat exchanger temperature falls to 49°C.

− During starting of Heating mode and after deice, Outdoor Fan ON for 90 sec. (Hi).

22

CS-A18DKD CU-A18DKD / CS-A24DKD CU-A24DKD

Compressor high pressure protection

If the indoor heat exchanger becomes 68°C or more, the compressor will stop and restart automatically.

Time Delay Safety Control is activated before the compressor restart.

8.5.9. 4-Way Valve Control

• 4-way valve always on during Heating operation. (except deicing operation)

• When the unit is switched off by remote control during Heating operation, the 4-way valve stay at Heating position for 5 minutes.

• This is to prevent the refrigerant flow process sound for being occur.

8.5.10. Outdoor Fan Motor Control

• When compressor stops (reaches room temperature), outdoor fan will operate for 30 seconds (forced operation).

• This is to release the heat and to obtain the lowest pressure as fast as possible.

8.5.11. Hot Start Control

Hot Start Control is to prevent cool air discharge into the room when heating operation start.

When Heating operation starts, Indoor fan will not start until the indoor heat exchanger reaches 30°C as diagram shown.

• Hot start is completed when indoor heat exchanger rises to 42°C or operation over 4 minutes.

23

CS-A18DKD CU-A18DKD / CS-A24DKD CU-A24DKD

8.5.12. Anti Cold Draft Control

This operation is to prevent the Cold Draft during Heating mode operation.

The operation will start when compressor OFF (Thermo OFF) during Heating operation.

For the first 30 sec. from compressor OFF (Termo OFF), Indoor fan speed will operate accordingly to the Indoor heat exchanger temperature as shown below:

After 30 sec. from compressor OFF (thermo OFF), Indoor fan will run at SSLo speed only.

Anti Cold Draft Control will stop when:

Intake temperature < set temperature. (Time Delay Safety Control 4 minutes waiting is valid)

30 Minutes Time Save Control activates.

8.5.13. Deicing Control

Deice starts to prevent frosting at outdoor heat exchanger.

Normal Deicing

Deice operations detection commences after 60 minutes of Heating operation starts or 60 minutes after previous deice operation. If the TRS (Thermal Read Switch) senses the outdoor piping temperature drops to -4°C (TRS CLOSE) or less for 50 sec. continuously during compressor is in operation, deice will start.

(There is no detection during Outdoor Fan stops.)

Overload Deicing

During heating operation, if the outdoor Fan OFF duration (due to overload control) is accumulated up to 60 minutes and after compressor starts for 1 minutes, deicing starts.

Deicing ends when

1.12 minutes after deicing operation starts;

2.The outdoor piping temperature rises to 12°C.

After deicing operation, compressor stops for 30 seconds and 4-way valve stays at cooling position for 10 seconds.
