Operation Details 1. LED display of indoor unit LS-_YL/UL Series • On while in appliance operation, off while in appliance pause. Operation Indicator • Blinking(3sec off/0.5sec on) according to Error Code as long as the system mal- functions. • On while in sleep timer mode, off when sleep timer cancel or appliance operation Sleep Timer Indicator pause.
Page 12
How to operate the power display (LS-_YL/UL Series) • It must be displayed the power level that will be operating frequency of compressor. • It indicates power levels that compressor operating frequency is controlled to depend on indoor and outdoor conditions.
Page 13
2. Protection of the evaporator pipe from frosting • If the indoor pipe temperaure is below 0°C in 7 min. after the compressor operates without pause while in cooling cycle operation mode, compressor, outdoor fan are turned off. • When indoor pipe temp. is 7°C or higher after 2 min pause of compressor compressor, outdoor fan is turned on according to the condition of the room temperature.
4. Cooling mode operation • Operating frequency of compressor depend on the difference of the temperature. (= intake air Temp.- Compressor off Temp. • Compressor off temp.= setting temp. -0.5°C on temp. = setting temp. +0.5°C • If compressor operates at some operating frequency, the operating frequency of compressor cannot be changed within 30 seconds.

5. Healthy Dehumidification mode operation • When the dehumidification operation is set by the remote controller the intake air temperature is detected and the setting temp. is automatically set according to the intake air temperature. Intake air Temp. Setting Temp. 32°C ≤...
6. Heating mode operation • Operating frequency of compressor depend on the difference of the temperature (= compressor off temp. - intake air temp.) • Compressor off temp. = setting temp.+3.0°C on temp. = setting temp. • If compressor operates at some operation frequency, the operating frequency of compressor cannot be changed within 30 seconds.
Page 17
7. Fuzzy mode operation • When any of operation mode is not selected like the moment of the power on or when the unit turned off, the operation mode is selected. • When determining the operation mode, the compressor, outdoor fan are off and only the indoor fan is operat- ed for 15~20 seconds, then an operation mode is selected according to.
Page 18
7.2 Fuzzy operation for Heating • According to the setting temperature selected by Fuzzy rule, the operating frequency of compressor is deter- mined like heating mode operation. • At the beginning of Fuzzy mode operation, the setting temperature is automatically selected according to the intake air temperature at that time.
8. Jet cool mode operation • While in heating mode or Fuzzy operation, the Jet Cool key cannot be input. When it is input while in the other mode operation(cooling, dehumidification, ventilation), the Jet Cool mode is operated. • In the Jet Cool mode, the indoor fan is operated super-high speed for 30 min. at cooling mode operation. •...
11. Sleep timer operation • When the sleep time is reached after [1,2,3,4,5,6,7hr] is input by the remote control during the operation, the operation of the appliance stops. • When the appliance is on pause, the sleep timer mode cannot be input. 11.1 Sleep timer operation for cooling cycle •...
12. Auto restarting operation • When the power is restarted after a sudden power failure while in appliance operation, the mode before the power failure is kept on the memory and the appliance automatically operates in the mode on the memory. •...
15. Power relay control • Power relay turns on 1 second later after the power is input to the outdoor unit. • Control sequence : power on PTC operating power relay on 16. Protection from total current control CT1 control •...
18. Portection from overheating of power module • If the temperature of the heat sink TH. reaches over Toff, the Compressor stop instantly. • It will be limited the compressor operating frequency according to the heat sink TH.(refer to below FIG.) •...

20 . Defrosting control • While in heating mode operation in order to protect the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit from freezing, reversed to cooling cycle to defrost the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit. • Defrosting control is available 50 minutes later since heating cycle started and the pipe temperature of out- door unit reaches below -6°C.
