•
Normal Deice
Deice operations detection commences after 30 minutes of Heating operation starts or 60 minutes after previous
deice operation. If the TRS (Thermal Reed Switch) senses the outdoor piping temperature drops to -3°C (TRS
CLOSE) or less for 50 sec. continuously during compressor is in operation, deice will start.
(There is no detection during Outdoor Fan stops.)
•

to 60 minutes and after compressor starts for 1 minutes, deice starts.
•
Deice ends when
1. 12 minutes after deicing operation starts;
2. TRS senses the outdoor piping temperature rises to 4°C (TRS OPEN).
※ Deice will not end immediately as time delay (Td) is valid as shown below:
Time taken from deicing starts
to TRS OPEN (T)
T ≤ 1 minute
1 minutes < T < 3 minutes
3 minutes < T < 8 minutes
8 minutes < T < 11 minutes
T > 11 minutes
•
Once deice operation starts, it will not end for 60 seconds.
