7. FUNCTION 7-1. Room Temperature Control Room temperature control is obtained by cycling the compressor ON and OFF under control of the room temperature sensor in the remote control unit. The room temperature (and other information) is transmitted every 3 minutes by the remote control unit to the controller in the indoor unit.
7-2. Freeze Prevention This function prevents freezing of the indoor heat exchange coil. When the compressor has been running for 10 minutes or more and the temperature of the indoor heat exchange coil falls below –1°C, the control circuit stops the compressor for at least 6 minutes. The compressor does not start again until the temperature rises above 8°C or 6 minutes has elapsed.
7-3. Outdoor Fan Speed Control (for model AE512SCL) Low ambient fan speed control This function protects the compressor from being damaged due to flowback of the liquid refrigerant to the compressor when the outdoor temperature is very low. When the air temp. thermistor (TH) on the outdoor unit detects a change in temperature, the controller (POW- CL128E) on the electrical component box activates to control the fan speed automatically.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING 8-1. Check before and after troubleshooting WARNING Hazardous voltage can cause ELECTRIC SHOCK or DEATH. Disconnect power or turn off circuit breaker before you start checking or servicing. 8-1-1. Check power supply wiring. Check that power supply wires are correctly connected to terminals L and N on the terminal plate in the indoor unit.
8-2. Air conditioner does not operate. 8-2-1. Circuit breaker trips (or fuse blows). A. When the circuit breaker is set to ON, it is tripped soon. (Resetting is not possible.) There is a possibility of ground fault. Check insulation resistance. If resistance value is 2MΩ...

10. DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR INDOOR UNIT IMPORTANT! Please Read Before Starting Safety precautions for servicing the CEILING-MOUNTED indoor unit Before attempting to replace heavy and bulky parts such as the evaporator and fan motor, disconnect the indoor unit from the system and place it on the floor. Refer to the steps given below. When checking or servicing the air intake grille, side panels, or electrical component box, first check that power is completely disconnected.
10-2. Removing Side Panels Hook (1) Remove the 3 screws attaching the left side panel. (Fig. 3) Slot (2) Note the position of the hook on the inside of the left side panel. To disengage the hook from the slot, Hook slide down the panel for removal.
10-4. Removing Flap Motor (1) Remove the 3 screws used to mount the top panel. Screw (Fig. 6) Top panel (2) While unlatching the 2 tabs inside the back of the top panel, lift the top panel diagonally in the direction of the arrow.(Fig.
