Page 36
V6-i VRF 50/60Hz 2 Stop Operation The stop operation occurs for one of the three following reasons: 1. Abnormal shutdown: in order to protect the compressors, if an abnormal state occurs the system makes a 'stop with thermo off' operation and an error code is displayed on the outdoor unit digital displays. 2.
V6-i VRF 50/60Hz 4 Startup Control 4.1 Compressor Startup Delay Control In initial startup control, compressor startup is delayed for 12 minutes in order to let the outdoor unit search for the indoor units’ addresses. In restart control (except in oil return operation and defrosting operation), compressor startup is delayed such that a minimum of 7 minutes has elapsed since the compressor stopped, in order to prevent frequent compressor on/off and to equalize the pressure within the refrigerant system.

V6-i VRF 50/60Hz 5.2 Compressor Output Control The compressor rotation speed is controlled according to the load requirement. Before compressor startup, the outdoor unit first estimates the indoor unit load requirement according to the nominal capacity of indoor units currently running, and then correct for ambient temperature.

V6-i VRF 50/60Hz 7 Special Control 7.1 Oil Return Operation In order to prevent compressors from running out of oil, the oil return operation is conducted to recover oil that has flowed out of the compressor(s) and into the piping system. This operation is performed for all units including units that are in standby.

V6-i VRF 50/60Hz 7.2 Defrosting Operation In order to recover heating capacity, the defrosting operation is conducted when the outdoor unit heat exchanger is performing as an evaporator. The defrosting operation is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor heat exchanger temperature, indoor heat exchanger temperature and outdoor unit running time. When the outdoor unit is running in defrosting, the digital display on outdoor main PCB will display “df”.
