[3] FUNCTION
1. Function
1.1. Restart control
Once the compressor stops operating, it will not restart for 180 seconds to protect the compressor.
Therefore, if the operating compressor is shut down from the remote
control and then turned back on immediately after, the compressor will
restart after a preset delay time.
(The indoor unit will restart operation immediately after the ON switch
is operated on the remote control.)
1.2. Outdoor unit 2-way valve freeze prevention control
If the temperature of the outdoor unit 2-way valve remains below 0°C
for 10 consecutive minutes during cooling or dehumidifying operation,
the compressor operation stops temporarily in order to prevent freezing.
When the temperature of the 2-way valve rises to 10°C or higher after
about 180 seconds, the compressor restarts and resumes normal
operation.
1.3. Outdoor unit overheat prevention control
During cooling operation, if the temperature of the outdoor unit heat
exchanger exceeds the outdoor unit heat exchanger overheat prevention temperature (about 55°C), the operating frequency is decreased
by about 4 to 15 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every 60 seconds until the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger drops to
about 54
Once the temperature of the outdoor unit
about 54°C or lower, the operating frequency is increased by about 4
to 10 Hz every 60 seconds until the normal operation condition
resumes.
If the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger exceeds the outdoor unit heat exchanger overheat protection temperature for (120
sec. : outdoor temperature ≥ 40°C, 60 sec : outdoor temperature <
40°C) at minimum operating frequency, the compressor stops operat-
ing and then restarts after about 180 seconds, and the above mentioned control is repeated.
°C or lower.
heat exchanger drops to
1.4. Compressor overheat prevention control
If the temperature of the compressor exceeds the compressor overheat prevention temperature (110°C), the operation frequency is
decreased by about 4 to 10 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every
60
seconds until the temperature of the compressor drops below the
overheat protection temperature (100°C)
Once the temperature of the compressor drops below the overheat
protection temperature, the operating frequency is increased by about
4 to 10 Hz every 60 seconds until the normal operation condition
resumes.
If the temperature of the compressor exceeds the overheat protection
temperature (for 120 seconds in cooling operation or 60 seconds in
heating operation) at minimum operating frequency, the compressor
stops operating and then restarts after about 180 seconds, and the
above mentioned control is repeated.
.
1.5. Peak control
If the current flowing in the air conditioner exceeds the peak control
current (see the table below), the operation frequency is decreased
until the current value drops below the peak control current regardless
of the frequency control demand issued from the indoor unit based on
the room temperature.
The compressor stops immediately after cooling, dehumidifying or
heating operation is shut down, but the outdoor unit fan continues
operation for 50 seconds before it stops.
1.7. Defrosting
1.7.1 Reverse defrosting
The defrost operation starts when the compressor operating time
exceeds 10 minutes during heating operation, as shown below, and
the outside air temperature and the outdoor unit heat exchanger temperature
the indoor unit fan stops. The defrost operation stops when the outdoor unit heat exchanger temperature rises to about 15°C or higher or
the defrosting time exceeds 9 minutes.

1.9. AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
In the AUTO mode, the unit will automatically select COOL or HEAT
mode by comparing the room temperature and your desired temperature.
The unit will automatically switch between HEAT and COOL mode to
keep the desired temperature.
COANDA and MULTI SPACE button will be inactivated during AUTO
mode.

1.10. INACTIVATE 5°F(-15°C) AUTO STOP FUNCTION
During the heating operation, the unit will automatically stop when
the outdoor temperature drops below 5°F(-15°C) to prevent the
outdoor unit from the damage caused by the freezing of the drained
water. The unit will stop its operation for 4 hour and then resume
the operation when the outdoor temperature rises above 7°F(-13.9°C).
If the customer do not want to use this function, this function can be
inactivated by cutting JPA on outdoor PWB.

2.1. PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation)
The PAM circuit varies the compressor drive voltage and controls the rotation speed of the compressor.
The IGBT shown in the block diagram charges the energy (electromotive force) generated by the reactor to the electrolytic capacitor for the inverter
by turning ON and OFF.
208 or
230V
When the IGBT is ON, an electric current flows to the IGBT via
the reactor (L1) and diode bridge (DB2).
When the IGBT turns OFF, the energy stored while the IGBT
was ON is charged to the voltage capacitor via the diode
bridge (DB1).
As such, by varying the ON/OFF duty of the IGBT, the output
voltage is varied.

2.2. High power factor control circuit
This circuit brings the operating current waveform closer to the waveform of commercial power supply voltage to maintain a high power factor.
Because of the capacitor input, when the PAM circuit is OFF, the phase of the current waveform deviates from the voltage waveform as shown below.
To prevent this deviation, a current is supplied during the periods indicated by "O" in the diagram.
To determine the length of period to supply a current, the zero-cross timing of the AC input voltage is input to the microcomputer via the clock circuit.
The power source frequency is also determined at the same time.
The IGBT turns ON after the time length determined by the zero-cross point to supply a current to the IGBT via the reactor.
This brings the current waveform closer to the voltage waveform in phase.
As descr bed above, the ON/OFF operation of the IGBT controls the increase/decrease of the compressor power supply voltage (DC voltage) to
improve the compressor efficiency and maintain a high power factor by keeping the current phase closer to that of the supply voltage.

2.2.2 AC clock (zero-cross) judgment
• The clock circuit determines the time from one rising point of the clock waveform to the next rising point.
The detected clock waveform is used to judge the power source frequency (60Hz).
• The zero-cross of the AC voltage is judged as the rising of the clock waveform, as shown in the diagram above.
2.2.3 IGBT ON start time (delay time B)
• Based on the zero-cross of the AC voltage, the IGBT turns ON after a delay time set according to the power source frequency.
2.2.4 IGBT ON time (C)
• After the above delay time, the IGBT turns ON to supply a current to the reactor.
• The ON time of the IGBT determines the amount of energy (level of DC voltage rise) supplied to the reactor.
DC voltage level in each operation mode (varies depending on external load conditions)
– Cooling operation --- 220 to 290 V
– Heating operation --- 260 to 290 V
2.3. PAM protection circuit
To prevent excessive voltage of PAM output from damaging the IPM and electrolytic capacitor as well as the control printed wiring board (PWB), this
circuit monitors the PAM output voltage and turns off the PAM control signal and PAM drive immediately when an abnormal voltage output is gener-
ted. At the same time, it shuts off the compressor operation.

2.3.1 Details of troubleshooting procedure for PAM
1) PAM shutdown due to error
1) When the DC voltage detection circuit sends a signal exceeding the specified voltage to the microcomputer
DC voltage of 400 V or higher (detection circuit input voltage of about 4.6 V or higher) [IC1 69 pin]
– When an error is detected
• PAM IGBT turns OFF.
• Compressor turns OFF.
• All units shut down completely when the error occurs four times.
2) When the outdoor unit clock waveform differs from the specified value immediately before the PAM IGBT turns ON
When there is no clock waveform input
When a clock signal of other than specified power source frequency (60Hz) is input
– When an error is detected
• PAM IGBT does not turn ON.
• Compressor operates normally.
• Complete shutdown does not occur.
2) PAM error indication
In case of error “1)”
– An error signal is sent to the indoor unit as soon as an error is generated.
• Malfunction No. 14-0 is indicated when the error code is called out by the indoor unit's self-diagnosis function.
– The LED on the outdoor unit flashes 14 times when an error is generated.
• The LED continues flashing in the 14-time cycle even after the compressor stops ope
• The LED turns off (data is deleted from the memory) when the outdoor unit power is turned off.
In case of error “2)”
– An error signal is sent to the indoor unit as soon as an error is judged.
• Malfunction No. 14-1 is indicated when the error code is called out by the indoor unit's self-diagnosis function.
– The LED on the outdoor unit flashes 14 times when an error is judged.
• The LED on the outdoor unit flashes in normal pattern when the compressor stops operating.
(Compressor OFF or Thermostat OFF from remote control)
* When a user complains that the air conditioner does not provide sufficient cool air or warm air
In addition to conventional error-generating reasons, there is a possibility that the PAM IGBT does not turn ON even if the compressor is operating.
In that case, the DC voltage does not rise even though the compressor is operating, and lowers to the 180-VDC level.

3. Explanation of IPM drive circuit
The IPM for compressor drive is made by Mitsubishi Electric.
The power supply for the IPM drive, the shunt resistance for over current detection, etc., are provided outside the IPM (control PWB).
3.1. IPM drive power supply circuit
The power supply for the upper-phase IGBT (HU, HV, HW) drive employs a bootstrap system, and provides power to the upper-phase IC.
The 15-V power supply for the lower-phase IC is provided by the control printed wiring board (PWB).
3.1.1 Brief explanation of bootstrap system (single power drive system)
To supply power to the upper-phase IC, the microcomputer (IC1) turns ON the lower-phase IGBT (LU, LV, LW).
This results in a charging current that flows to the electrolytic capacitor of each upper-phase IC input and charges the bootstrap capacitor with a 15V
current.
The power supply for the subsequent stages is charged while the lower-phase IGBT is ON in ordinary compressor drive c
ontrol.
