Settings Jumpers JP1: Factory use. Default: open. JP2: Defrost type selection. Default: closed. JP3: Heating only option. Default: open (heating and cooling). Dip-switch: SW1: Factory use. Default: 1=Off, 2=Off. Note: Jumper and dip-switch settings can be changed only when unit is powered off.
Principle of functioning OPERATING MODE SELECTION In a sigle split configuration, the operating mode of the system (heating or cooling) corresponds to the mode selected on the indoor unit. In a muli split configuration, the operating mode of the system is selected with the following rules: Heating mode is selected if: all indoor units are in heating mode one or more indoor units are in heating mode and the others are in off mode or fan mode...

Cooling mode When the system is in cooling mode, it will regulate the cooling capacity delivered to the rooms to decrease the room air temperature (RAT) to the set point (SPT) and to balance the thermal load of the rooms to keep the set point temperature. The following rules apply to cooling mode functioning: Compressor and fan start when, in any of the rooms, RAT is 1°C or more above the SPT Compressor and fan stop when, in all rooms, RAT is 2°C or more below the SPT or when RAT is 1°C...

Auto mode When an indoor unit is in auto mode (auto cooling or auto heating), the actual mode will switch between heating and cooling mode to maintain the room air temperature (RAT) to the set point temperature (SPT). The unit will switch between heating and cooling mode if one of the following conditions is met: Heating if at least 3 minutes have passed since the unit was stopped and ∆T ≤...
Components operation Compressor The compressor runs if the following conditions are met: At least 3 minutes have passed since the power supply was switched on At least 3 minutes have passed since the compressor was stopped At least 6 minutes have passed since the previous compressor start There is no active alarm on the outdoor and indoor units There is no active protection There is a capacity demand in the rooms...

Defrost valve Defrost valve is used to run the hot gas byapass defrost cycle. Defrost valve is always closed during cooling mode. Defrost valve is normally closed in heating mode and it opens only during hot gas bypass defrost cycles. When open, part of the hot gas from the discharge of the compressor is directly injected into the outdoor heat exchanger.
Defrost A defrost starts if one of these conditions is satisfied (see graph below): - OCT falls below L1 line and compressor is running for at least 35 minutes without defrost - OCT falls below L2 line and compressor is running for at least 60 minutes without defrost Defrost starting threshold The defrost ends if one of these conditions is satisfied (sse graph below): - OCT rise above line L3 and defrost has been active for at least 2 minutes...

The are two possible defrost type: hot gas bypass defrost reverse cycle defrost If jumper JP2 is closed, the unit will automatically decide which type of defrost is necessary to run. If jumper JP2 is open, the hot gas bypass defrost is disabled and the defrost cycles will be done only with the reverse cycle method.
Protections The unit is equipped with an automatic system of protections. These protections, if active, will limit the speed of the compressor in order to run the system in a safe operating area. Protections, when active, reduce the speed of the compressor linearly down to its minimum speed. If the level of protection is too high, compressor is stopped until no protection will be active.
