  • 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.
  • Page 62 “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.
  • Page 63 < When hot start operation is cancelled by temperature > 26.5. Indoor unit fan control when thermostat is off during heating mode operation When the thermostat of the indoor unit turns off during heating mode operation, the indoor unit fan operates for 2 minutes at LOW and then stops.
