Automatic address setting for twin system Procedure: Turn on the power supply for the indoor and outdoor units. Operation: Automatic address setting will start 10 to 30 seconds after the power supply is turned on, and will be completed after about 1 minute. If the power supplies for the indoor unit and outdoor unit cannot be turned on at the same time, turn on the power supply for the outdoor unit, the indoor unit which is connected to the remote control, and then the other indoor units in that order.
• • • • Be sure to set DIP switch 1-8 to ON when setting twin/triple addresses. If DIP switch 1-1 is set to ON without setting 1- 8 to ON also, group addresses will be set instead, and the remote control open circuit error code (F26) will be displayed. Automatic address resetting for twin systems Function •...
19.3. Refrigerant charging • • • • For twin- and triple-type systems The pipe length is the total of the branch pipe (L) and the junction pipes (Ia→t Ib→t Ic in order from the thickest diameter)). At point where the pipe length exceeds 30 m, determine the amount of refrigerant for the remaining liquid-side pipe diameters and pipe lengths from the following table in order to charge the system.
20 WIRING MISTAKE PREVENTION Improved quality of installation work through adoption of an “Connection error prevention” circuit which prevents wiring mistakes Connection errors with the control wires and the power supply wires will not only contribute to burning-out of the control circuit board, but can also cause large-scale working losses and affect reliability.
21 TEST OPERATION AND SELF DIAGNOSIS (If the phase is reversed, the LED on the printed circuit 21.1. Test operation board will flash.) • • • • Always be sure to use a properly-insulated tool to operate • • • • Check that the voltage is 198 V or higher when starting the the switch on the circuit board.

26 CONTROL 26.1. Description of basic Functions 26.1.1. Cooling mode operation time chart (*1) Outdoor unit fan start control during cooling At the start of cooling mode and drying mode operation, the outdoor unit heat exchanger outlet temperature is detected in order to set the fan speed.
Page 60
• • • • The 10-minute countdown is cleared if the compressor stops or if the temperature at the outdoor unit outlet rises to 13.5°C or higher. 26.2. Freezing prevention control 1. Operation During cooling mode operation, after 9 minutes have passed since the compressor turned on, the outdoor units stops operating when the temperature detected by the indoor unit pipe temperature sensor is 2°C or lower.
Page 61
26.3. Heating mode operation time chart (Heat pump type only) (*2) Outdoor unit fan control during heating mode operation Under conditions when the compressor is on during heating mode operation (except during defrosting and when the liquid bypass valve is on), the outdoor unit fan is controlled by means of input (CN2) indicating whether the contact of the heating pressure switch on the outdoor unit circuit board is open or closed (At the start of heating mode operation, the fan operates at HI speed.) 26.4.

“PREHEAT” appears on the remote control display. (Other displays remain unchanged.) At the indoor unit, the indoor unit fan stops. In addition, during hot starting, the louvre stays at the horizontal position (angle 0°). 3. Cancelling After 1 minute has passed since heating mode operation started, or if the compressor has turned on, hot starting is cancelled when the temperature detected by the indoor unit pipe temperature sensor is 18°C or higher.

(The fan operates at LOW speed for the remainder of the 30 seconds in (1), and then hot start commences.) 26.7. Defrost mode operation time chart 1. Start and completion of defrosting a. Start During heating mode operation (including automatic heating), after the 45-minute defrosting cycle time has passed, defrosting starts if the temperature detected by the outdoor unit heat exchanger outlet sensor is 2°C or lower for a continuous 5-minute period.
