follows: |
|
|
|
Press any button when the arrowhead flashes on the front of |
Cool |
, Cooling Only is set. |

1.Safety Control
(1)Time Delay Safety Control
3 minutes delay for compressor---The compressor is ceased for 3minutes to balance the pressure in the refrigeration cycle in order to protect the compressor.
2 minutes delay for 4-way valve---The 4-way valve is ceased for 2 minutes to prevent the refrigerant-gas abnormal noise when the HEATING operation is OFF or switch to the other operation mode.
(2) Indoor Pipe Temperature Sensor Frost Prevention Control
When the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads 32 or below for 5 minutes, the indoor pipe temperature sensor frost prevention control starts. The compressor and outdoor fan stop and indoor fan operates at high speed for 3 minutes. After that, if the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads less than 41 this control prolonged until the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads 41 or more.
(3)High Temperature Protection Control
During HEATING operation, the outdoor fan motor and compressor are controlled by the indoor pipe temperature to prevent the high temperature of compressor.
Outdoor fan OFF: when the indoor pipe temperature is ≥122 Outdoor fan ON: when the indoor pipe temperature is ≤118.4 Compressor OFF: when the indoor pipe temperature is ≥143.6 Compressor ON: when the indoor pipe temperature is ≤118.4
2.“I Feel” Mode Operation
(1)When the “I Feel” mode is selected, the operation mode and initial set temperature are determined by the initial room temperature at start-up of the operation except to turn off the air conditioner and operates it again.
(2)If the mode is change to “I Feel” mode from other mode, the “I Feel” mode doesn’t operate until compressor stop for more than 3 minutes.

3.“COOLING” Mode Operation
(1)When the COOLING mode is selected without setting temperature, the system will set the set temperature at
78.8 automatically with the AUTO FAN speed.
(2)When selecting the COOLING mode operation, the system will operate according to the setting by the remote controller and the operation is as following:

4.“DRY” Mode Operation
(1)The system for DRY operation used the same refrigerant circle as the cooling circle.
(2)When the system operates in DRY mode ,at first it operates in cooling mode at 60.8 or 64.4 for 3 minutes. And then, the system operates in cooling mode with low speed that regards the temperature of the room temperature sensor reads decrease 35.6 as the set temperature. During the course of this, the fan speed set operation is failing but the vane motor can be controlled.
5.“HEATING” Mode Operation (Only available for Heat Pump)
(1)When the HEATING mode is selected without setting temperature, the system will set the temperature at
73.4 automatically with the AUTO FAN speed.
(2)When selecting the HEATING mode operation, the system will operate according to the setting by the remote controller and the operation is as following:

(3)In HEATING mode, the indoor fan motor speed is controlled by Cold Air Prevention Control.
(4)Cold Air Prevention Control
The function is intend to prevent cold air from being discharged when the heating operation starts or when defrosting.
The indoor fan speed will be controlled as following. The vane angle is at the angle C(100°).

(5)Defrost
Defrosting of the outdoor heat exchange is controlled by the microprocessor with detection by the indoor pipe temperature sensor.
Defrost control type is according to the JC on the PCB whether is connected.
When the JC is connect on the PCB
When one of the conditions of A, Band C is satisfy, the defrosting operation stars. A. IPT--- indoor pipe temperature
) |
In the condition A, it must satisfy the conditions a), b)and c) then into defrosting operation.
a)IPT1 satisfy IPT1=IPTMAX IPT14.4
b)t5≥50minutes(the compressor cumulative operation time≥50 minutes, t5 is permitted move and lower than t1 too).
c)IPT 104 and keep 2 minutes.
According to the condition A enter the defrosting operation, the first defrosting operation time is 8 minutes; After defrosting operation one cycle, and then judge and regulate the defrosting operation time.
B.After the compressor cumulative operation time exceeds 120 minutes and the temperature of the IPT is less than 95 for 2 minutes. When the defrosting operation time on this condition exceeds 8 minutes, it will terminate.
C.After the compressor operates continuously for 20 minutes and the IPT is less than 73.4 or from the last time of defrosting operation is 50 minutes or more interval. When the defrosting operation
time on this condition exceeds 10 minutes, it will terminate.
When the JC isn’t connected on the PCB
When the conditions of a) or b) is satisfy, the defrosting operation starts.
a)Under the heating operation, the compressor cumulative operation time exceeds 50 minutes and the temperature of the outdoor pipe temperature sensor reads lower than 14.4
b)Under the heating operation, the compressor cumulative operation time exceeds 50 minutes, if the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads lower than 104 continuously for 2 minutes.
Note: If haven’t the outdoor pipe temperature sensor that uses the condition b) to defrost, against use the condition a).
Defrost terminating conditions
When the condition c) or d) is satisfy, the defrosting operation will terminate.
c)The outdoor defrost sensor reads 68 or more.
d)The defrosting time exceeds 10 minutes.

8.“SLEEP” mode
When the SLEEP button is pressed, the SLEEP mode is selected as following:
The indoor fan speed is set at the low speed, the power lamp and the sleep lamp is on, the temperature off after 5 minutes.
When selecting COOLING/DRY operation with SLEEP mode, the set temperature will be raised by 1.8 1 hour later and by 3.6 2 hour later.
When selecting HEATING operation with SLEEP mode, the set temperature will be dropped by 1.8 1 hour later and 3.6 2 hour later.
After the System operates in SLEEP mode for 8 hours, it will stop automatically.
9.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, the microprocessor adjusts fan motor electric 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)When the rotational frequency feedback signal has not output for 5 seconds (or when the microprocessor can’t detect the signal for 5 seconds), the fan motor is regarded locked-up. Then the electric current to the fan
