1. SUPER MULTI SYSTEM BASIC COMPONENTS
1.1 2-Pipe Heat Pump.
This system allows separate operation of each indoor unit in heating or cooling.
Heating operation has priority over cooling. In the event of an indoor unit requesting cooling operation when
another is in heating mode, the "PREHEAT DEFROST" will flash on the remote controller.

2. OUTLINE OF CONTROL SYSTEM
The refrigerant and electrical systems of the Super multi air conditioner are controllled by the Multi controller
and the Outdoor unit microprocessors.
All RAV Heat Pump series Indoor units are compatible with the Super multi system. i.e. 1 ~ 5 HP.
For system operation, initially the microprocessor in each Indoor unit calculates the difference between the
current room temperature (TA) and the requested temperature which has been set on the Remote controller.
A demand signal is determined and transmitted to the Multi controller microprocessor in the form of operation
commands. (i.e. ON / OFF, cooling or heating operation mode, operation demand frequency).
The Multi controller microprocessor receives operation commands from all Indoor units connected, calculates
the accumulative operation command and transmits this information to the Outdoor unit Interface
microprocessor.
The Interface microprocessor calculates the capacity required for heating or cooling and determines the
operation mode of the Outdoor unit and the actual frequency of the compressor.

a time and monitor the Indoor units coil sensor for a corresponding drop in temperature. Each
indoor unit is tested in turn and where two Multi controllers are installed each Multi controller is
tested in turn.
This test would normally be used at the commisioning stage.
Procedure for initialising the circuit test.
1. Turn the power off.
2. Ensure capacity codes are set correctly, capacity switches set to "0" are not tested.
3. Put the Outdoor display switch to 9 and Multi controller(s) display switch to 6.
4. Turn the power back on.
5. Set all the Remote controllers to cool mode and 29ºC.
6. Press the on / off button to start the indoor units.
7. Go to the Outdoor unit and press switch J2 (above 8xLED's) for 3 seconds.
8. The system is now in self-testing mode (all 8 LED's will be flashing rapidly).
9. The system will stop at the end of the test.
In the event of cross wiring / piping the system will indicate which units are faulty. Refer to self
diagnostic information (7.1.8).

7.3.9 Circuit connection test procedure.
The 3-Pipe system has a feature which enables it to check that the wiring and piping connections are
aligned with each other. This is carried out by allowing refrigerant to flow to one indoor unit at a time and
monitor the Indoor units coil sensor for a corresponding drop in temperature. Each Indoor unit is tested in
turn and where two Multi controllers are installed each Multi controller is tested in turn.
This test would normally be used at the commisioning stage.
Procedure for inialising the circuit test:
1. Turn the power off.
2. Ensure capacity codes are set correctly, capacity switches set to "0" are not tested.
3. Set the Outdoor display switches SW1 and SW2 to 9 and Multi controller(s) display switch to 6.
4. Turn the power back on.
5. Set all the Remote controllers to cool mode and 29ºC.
6. Press the on / off button to start the Indoor units. The Outdoor LED's show "1020".
7. Press the Oudoor unit switch SW3 for 3 seconds.
8. The system is now in self-testing mode (LED's will be flashing).
9. The system will stop at the end of the test.
In the event of cross wiring / piping the system will indicate which units are faulty, as shown by the LED's.

Defrost
(Heating mode)
Oil Retrieval
(Cooling mode)
DESCRIPTION
• During heating operation, defrost is
controlled by the Outdoor unit heat exchanger
temperature sensor (TE).
• When the cumulative operating time with TE
in zone [A] has amounted to 25 minutes,
defrost operation starts. Subsequent
defrosts occur after a cumulative time of 55
minutes. When heating operation resumes
after defrost, the timer is reset.
• The maximum defrost period after TE returns
to zone [B] is 1 minute.
• Heating operation resumes immediately after
TE returns to zone [C].
• During cooling operation, oil retrieval is
performed if one or more Indoor units are
OFF.
• If this condition is satisfied, when cooling
operation commences, oil retrieval takes
place for 1 minute.
If cooling operation continues, oil retrieval is
repeated for 1 minute every 60 minutes.
• During oil retrieval the following occurs:
a. All Multi controller PMV's are opened.

Superheat control
3
(Cooling mode)
• Superheat is controlled by the Multi controller
for cooling operation.
The level of superheat is determined by the
difference between the evaporator outlet
temperature for each Indoor unit
(ThA, B, C, D) and the saturation temperature
(ThX).
• If the superheat of an Indoor unit enters zone
[Y], the relevant M/C PMV opens further to
compensate for this increase. The degree
of additional opening is dependant on the
capacity of the Indoor unit.
• When zone [Z] is reached the PMV
opening is held at the level set in zone [Y].
• When the level of superheat returns to zone
[X] the control is cancelled.

a. Changeover between cooling and heating operations for each indoor unit.
The solenoid valves inside the Multi controller are energised when operation
commands are sent from the Indoor units.
• SVS valve (suction side) opens for a cooling command.
• SVD valve (discharge side) opens for a heating command.
b. Determination of the Outdoor unit operation mode and frequency of the
compressor.
These are determined by the difference between the total requested cooling
command frequencies and the total requested heating command frequencies
of all Indoor units.
c. Outdoor unit refrigerant control during cooling dominant mode.
• Refrigerant flow is controlled by PMV2. The degree of opening is controlled
by the difference of all requested cooling and heating command frequencies
and the compressor operation frequency.
This flow control is required to divide cooling exhaust heat appropriately
between Indoor units in heating mode and the Outdoor unit heat exchanger.
• High pressure control is performed to ensure that the capacity of the
Indoor units in heating is maintained. This is controlled by the Outdoor unit
fan control and the changeover from the main heat exchanger to the sub
heat exchanger.
d. Outdoor unit refrigerant control during heating dominant mode.
• Superheat control is performed by the Outdoor unit expansion valve.
• Evaporating temperature control is performed by the Outdoor unit fan
control to ensure that the capacity of the Indoor units in cooling mode is
maintained.
• Changeover from expansion valve to capillary control is performed
when there is a minimal difference between the cooling and heating
demands and the heat absorbtion of the Outdoor unit heat exchanger is low.

11. PRESSURE TEST, EVACUATION AND DEHYDRATION
When Multi controllers are delivered from the factory the PMV's are in the fully open position. After power
is supplied to the system the PMV's assume their required operating position, including closed. Before
performing the pressure test or evacuation ensure that all Multi controller PMV's are in the fully open
position as shown in the "Manual operation of valves" (10.5).
11.1 Pressure test.
• Supply oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) gas at a pressure of 30kgf/cm˝G to the charge port on the suction
gas side service valve.
11.2 Evacuation and Dehydration.
• When removing air and dehydrating refrigerant pipe work use an approved type of vacuum pump, do
NOT use refrigerant to purge the air.
2-Pipe evacuation positions:Liquid pipe and Gas pipe charge ports.
3-Pipe evacuation positions:Liquid pipe and Discharge gas pipe charge ports.
(Refer to diagrams below).
• Ensure to create a vacuum of -76cmHg at both the Liquid and Gas sides.

12. ADDITIONAL REFRIGERANT
• The Super multi outdoor units contain sufficient refrigerant to operate an installation having 5 metres
of pipework (when delivered).
• Refer to the diagram below when calculating the amount of refrigerant required, use only HCFC - 22.
• The total refrigerant charge must be calculated by the weight, and within a tolerance of ± 50g.
• Prolonged operation with either an overcharge or deficiency in refrigerant will lead to loss of
performance, increased running costs and will cause damage to the machine. Warranty will be void.
• The piping length is the actual one way length of the pipe at the liquid side of all branch circuits.
