The remaining buttons are concealed behind a hinged door. A "beep" sound, acknowledging the reception of a valid infrared signal will be generated by the main receiver board if a valid button is pressed.
  • Page 51 1.1. Operation / Filter Reset Button. Operation By pushing this button, one of the following two air-con operations are selected. a) AUTOMATIC operation Selecting this operation is equivalent to selecting Auto mode, b) OFF operation Note that the ac. power supply is still connected to the receiver module of the electronic controller although the air-con is switched off.
  • Page 52 c) Filter dirty/System Fault (red) Infra Red Sensor Board An Infra-Red sensor on this board detects infra-fed signal transmission from the remote hand held transmitter. Operations of the electronic controller In manual operation, the air-con is switched on when ON/OFF button of the hand held transmitter is pressed while the air-con is off.
  • Page 53 3-min. compressor switch on delay The compressor is not switched on again immediately after being switched off. The air-con controller waits for 3 minutes before turning it on again to protect it. This protective measure applies throughout the operation of the air-con except on power-up.
  • Page 54 Modes of Operation Cool Mode The air-con controller lowers the room temperature in this mode. In cool mode, the indoor fan is always turned on, allowing it to run at the set speed. To stop the cool mode cycle, the compressor, outdoor fan are turned off, the 4-way valve which serves no function in this mode is still kept at off.
  • Page 55 If the room temperature >=31 C, compressor off, outdoor fan off and 4-way valve remains on, indoor fan runs according to following table: ID Room Temp., Tr Tr<=31 C ID Fan Maintain current state The heating cycle starts and stops according to the result of set temperature - room temperature comparison: ID Room Temp.
  • Page 56 Temperature Control and Measurement Temperature Measurement Accuracy The temperature measurement range of the air-con controller is from -10ºC to 60ºC. Measurement accuracy is given in the following Table: ºC ºC Room Temperature Control Range The room temperature control range of the air-con controller is from 16ºC to 31ºC, both inclusive.

This restriction applies throughout the operation of the Air-con except on power- Cool mode protection (Low-pressure indicator) If the indoor coil thermistor temperature is 25 C and above after the compressor has been turned on for more than 30 minutes in cool mode only, the compressor stop, outdoor fan stop, 4-way valve off and indoor fan run at low speed and the RED LED will blink at 95 times per...
  • Page 62 For example, if the temperature set point is 20°C when cool mode is entered at a room temperature of 21°C, the controller will start the cool mode cycle to cool the room. The cycle still continues when the room temperature later lowers to 20°C. It finally stops when the room temperature lowers further to 19°C.
  • Page 63 When the indoor coil temperature reaches 10ºC or higher for 2 minutes de-icing will be terminated and normal cool mode operation resumes. However, if the coil temperature is still below 10ºC after 10 minutes, de-icing operation will still be terminated to resume normal cool mode operation.
  • Page 64 Defrosting in HEAT mode (applicable on Heat Pump Unit only) a) Defrost starting conditions When all conditions of i) ~ iii) are satisfied, defrosting operation starts. i) The indoor coil thermistor read 42 C ii) The outdoor coil thermistor reads -4 C or below. iii) The difference between the Indoor-coil Thermistor and Indoor air thermistor 22 C.
  • Page 65 Outdoor Coil De-icing in Heat Mode (applicable on Heat Pump Unit only) The air-con controller heats up the outdoor coil to melt the ice formed at outdoor coil. To achieve this, the compressor must be turned on, while the 4-way valve must be turned off. During this period, the indoor fan must be switched off with exception condition as stated in Note 1.
