CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL SYSTEM 11.1 General Functions and Operating Rules The DCI software is fully parametric. All the model dependent parameters are shown in Italic style [ parameter]. The parameters values are given in the last section of this control logic chapter of the service manual.
CONTROL SYSTEM 11.1.4 Frequency Changes Control .Frequency change rate is 1 Hz/sec 11.1.5 Compressor Starting Control Frequency Step 3 Step 2 Step 1 Minute Time Minute Min 10 Minutes 11.1.6 Minimum On and Off Time 3 minutes. 11.1.7 Indoor Fan Control 10 Indoor fan speeds are determined for each model.
CONTROL SYSTEM The following table describes the open loop of outdoor fan speed, at cool mode, related to outdoor air temperature and the frequency (ROM table): Outdoor air temperature (OAT) Freq ~ - 10 30 or fauly 100~ Notes Linear interpolation will be used for values in between the outdoor temperature and the compressor frequencies. The speed values, of the above table, are of 10 RPM resolution.
CONTROL SYSTEM 11.3 Cool Mode NLOAD is calculated according to the difference between actual room temperature and user set point temperature by PI control. In high / medium / low indoor fan user setting, unit will operate fan in selected speed. In AutoFan user setting, fan speed will be ad8usted automatically according to the calculated NLOAD.
