If the Plasmacluster Ion generation function is operated together with
the air conditioner operation, the indoor unit fan speed and louver
direction are in accordance with the air conditioner settings.
2. OUTDOOR UNIT
2.1. 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 freez-
ing.
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.
2.2. Indoor unit overheat prevention control
During heating operation, if the temperature of the indoor unit heat
exchanger exceeds the indoor unit heat exchanger overheat preven-
tion temperature (about 45 to 54°C) which is determined by the operat-
ing frequency and operating status, the operating frequency is
decreased by about 4 to 15 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every
60 seconds until the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger
drops below the overheat protection temperature.
Once the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger drops below
the overheat protection temperature, the operating frequency is
increased by about 4 to 10 Hz every 60 seconds until the normal oper-
ation condition resumes.
If the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger exceeds the over-
heat protection temperature for 60 seconds at minimum operating fre-
quency, the compressor stops operating and then restarts after about
180 seconds, and the abovementioned control is repeated.
2.3. Outdoor unit overheat prevention control
During cooling operation, if the temperature of the outdoor unit heat
exchanger exceeds the outdoor unit heat exchanger overheat preven-
tion temperature (about 55°C), the operating frequency is decreased
by about 4 to 15 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every 60 sec-
onds until the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger drops to
about 54°C or lower.
Once the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger drops to
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 out-
door 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 operating and
then restarts after about 180 seconds, and the abovementioned con-
trol is repeated.
2.4. Compressor overheat prevention control
If the temperature of the compressor exceeds the compressor over-
heat 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 Plasmacluster Ion generation function is used without operating
the air conditioning function, the indoor unit fan operates at a very low
speed and the upper louver is angled upward and the lower louver
remains horizontal. (The airflow volume and direction can be changed
by using the remote control.)
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
abovementioned control is repeated.
2.5. 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.

2.6. Outdoor unit fan delay control
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.
2.7. Defrosting
2.7.1 Reverse defrosting
The defrost operation starts when the compressor operating time
exceeds 20 minutes during heating operation, as shown below, and
the outside air temperature and the outdoor unit heat exchanger tem-
perature meet certain conditions. When the defrost operation starts,
the indoor unit fan stops. The defrost operation stops when the out-
door unit heat exchanger temperature rises to about 13C or higher or
the defrosting time exceeds 10 minutes.

2.8. Winter cool
Cooling operation is available during the winter season by the built in
winter cool function.
Lower limit of outdoor temperature range is -10°C DB.
When the outside air temperature is low, the outdoor unit fan operates
at slower speed.
NOTE: Built-in protect device may work when outdoor temperature
falls below 21°C DB., depending on conditions.
