8. FUNCTION

8-1. 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.

The control circuit will not attempt to turn the compressor ON until the compressor has been OFF for at least
3 minutes. To protect the compressor from stalling out when trying to start against the high side refrigerant
pressure, the control circuit has a built-in automatic time delay to allow the internal pressure to equalize.
As a protective measure, the control circuit switches the compressor OFF after 5 minutes or more of compressor
operation.
