12. Operation and Control 12.1 Basic Function 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.
Page 37
12.1.5 Automatic Operation 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.
[Heating] According to indoor pipe temperature, automatic heating fan speed is determined as follows. B. Feedback control Immediately after the fan motor started, feedback control is performed once every second. During fan motor on, if fan motor feedback ≥ 2550 rpm or < 50 rpm continue for 10 seconds, then fan motor error counter increase, fan motor is then stop and restart.
