WARNING
This service information is designed for experienced repair technicians only and is not designed for use by the general public.
It does not contain warnings or cautions to advise non-technical individuals of potential dangers in attempting to service a product.
Products powered by electricity should be serviced or repaired only by experienced professional technicians. Any attempt to
service or repair the products dealt with in this service information by anyone else could result in serious injury or death.
PRECAUTION OF LOW TEMPERATURE
In order to avoid frostbite, be assured of no refrigerant leakage during the installation or repairing of refrigerant circuit.
Inverter control, which equipped with a microcomputer in determining the most suitable operation mode as time
passes, automatically adjusts output power for maximum comfort always. In order to achieve the suitable operation
mode, the microcomputer maintains the set temperature by measuring the temperature of the environment and
performing temperature shifting. The compressor at outdoor unit is operating following the frequency instructed by
the microcomputer at indoor unit that judging the condition according to internal setting temperature and intake air
temperature.
13.1.1 Internal Setting Temperature
Once the operation starts, remote control setting temperature will be taken as base value for temperature shifting
processes. These shifting processes are depending on the air conditioner settings and the operation environment.
The final shifted value will be used as internal setting temperature and it is updated continuously whenever the
electrical power is supplied to the unit.

13.1.4.2 Automatic Operation (For Single Split Connection Only)
y
This mode can be set using remote control and the operation is decided by remote control setting temperature,
remote control operation mode and indoor intake air temperature.
During operation mode judgment, indoor fan motor (with speed of Lo-) is running for 30 seconds to detect the
indoor intake air temperature.
Every 10 minutes, the indoor temperature is judged.
For the 1st judgment
o If indoor intake temperature - remote control setting temperature 3.6°F, COOL mode is decided.
o If -3.6°F indoor intake temperature - remote control setting temperature < 3.6°F, DRY mode is decided.
o If indoor intake temperature - remote control setting temperature < -3.6°F , HEAT mode is decided.
Indoor Fan Speed can be set using remote control.

There are two types of airflow, vertical airflow (directed by horizontal vane) and horizontal airflow (directed by
vertical vanes).
Control of airflow direction can be automatic (angles of direction is determined by operation mode, heat
exchanger temperature and intake air temperature) and manual (angles of direction can be adjusted using
remote control).

Automatic vertical airflow direction can be set using remote control; the vane swings up and down within the
angles as stated above. For heating mode operation, the angle of the vane depends on the indoor heat
exchanger temperature as Figure 1 below. When the air conditioner is stopped using remote control, the vane
will shift to close position.
Manual vertical airflow direction can be set using remote control; the angles of the vane are as stated above and
the positions of the vane are as Figure 2 below. When the air conditioner is stopped using remote control, the
vane will shift to close position.

Indoor FM RPM depends on pipe temperature sensor of indoor heat exchanger. Auto fan speed is
changed from normal setting to quiet setting of respective fan speed. This is to reduce sound of Hi, Me,
Lo for 3dB.
o Fan speed manual
Manual fan speed for quiet operation is -1 step from setting fan speed.
13.8 Powerful Mode Operation
When the powerful mode is selected, the internal setting temperature will shift lower up to 3.6°F (for Cooling/Soft
Dry) or higher up to 6.3°F (for Heating) than remote control setting temperature for 20 minutes to achieve the
setting temperature quickly.
13.9 Timer Control
13.9.1 ON Timer Control
ON Timer can be set using remote control, where the unit with timer set will start operation earlier than the setting
time. This is to provide a comfortable environment when reaching the set ON time.
60 minutes before the set ON time, indoor (at fan speed of Lo-) and outdoor fan motor start operation for 30
seconds to determine the indoor intake air temperature and outdoor air temperature in order to judge the
operation starting time.
From the above judgment, the decided operation will start operation earlier than the set time as shown below.
