4. FUNCTIONS 4-1 Room temperature control The unit adjusts room temperature by turning the outdoor unit’s compressor ON and OFF. This process is controlled by the thermostat located in the indoor unit. The figures on this and the next page show how each part of the system performs as the room temperature changes and the thermostat activates the compressor to start (thermo ON) or stop (thermo OFF).

4-2 Cold Draft Prevention (Heating Cycle) The cold draft prevention function controls indoor fan speed so a strong draft of cold air will not blow out before the indoor heat exchange coils have warmed up. STANDBY shows on the remote controller when the indoor fan speed is LL (very low) or OFF. This condition occurs in the following 3 cases: •...
4-3 Automatic Fan Speed (Indoor Unit) By pressing the FAN SPEED button on the remote controller, the fan speed can be set at one of four steps: AUTO., HI., MED., or LO. When set at AUTO. the indoor unit fan speed will be automatically adjusted to the room temperature as the two charts shown below.
4-4 Freeze Prevention (Cooling) Freeze Prevention keeps the indoor heat exchange coil from freezing. Freezing reduces the efficiency of the unit, and frost build up on the coil blocks cool air circulation from the indoor unit's fan. MIN. VALUE OF EITHER E1 OR E2 INDOOR UNIT COIL TEMP .

4-8 Automatic Restart after Power Interruption This air conditionner has a power failure recovery function. 4-9 Electronic Expansion Control Valve This valve allows very precise and smooth control of the amount of refrigerant flow in the system. Since the valve is operated by a step motor, the control circuits can open or close it in very exact amounts, so the degree of heating or cooling can be changed by just a little, or changed very quickly or slowly.

(7) Service Functions of Remote Controller From the remote controller you can control both the operation and settings of the unit as well as perform several useful service checks. This section explains how to use the remote controller on the following items from (A) to (J).
Page 46
(B) Use the test run procedure The purpose of the test run function is to let you control the operation of the unit directly without turning the unit on or off by thermostat. As indicated in the following procedure, be sure to stop test run operation when you finish the procedure, or the air conditioner may be damaged.
Page 47
(C) Check the sensor temperature readings The air conditioner has thermo sensors which are used to control the unit. Each sensor has an address which is made up of the indoor unit address, and the sensor address. The indoor unit address is used only when several units are hooked up to one remote controller (group control). If there is only one unit, made up of one indoor and one outdoor unit, then only the sensor address should be put in, as shown in the procedure below.
Page 48
Refer to the table below for the relationship between the sensor address and the location of the sensor. Relationship between the sensor address and the location of sensor Sensor Address (CODE No.) Location of Sensor (Thermistor): °C Indoor Unit Indoor air suction Temp. Indoor coil Temp.(E1) Indoor coil Temp.(E2) Indoor coil Temp.(E3)

Page 52
(G) Confirm and change the indoor unit address The purpose of the above function is to let you confirm the indoor unit address after the auto. address operation, and change the indoor unit address if it is needed. ¿ a) Press the TEST / CHK and ) buttons at the same time for more than 4 seconds.
Page 53
¿ e) Set the required new indoor unit’s No. by pressing the ) button. AIR FLOW UNIT MODE Ex: UNIT No. 3-6: currently registered indoor unit address R.C. FLAP Required new indoor No.8: SET DATA 0364_M_I f) Press the SET button. UNIT No, SET DATA (0008) and changes from flashing to ON state.
Page 54
(H) Change the shift temperature in heating mode If the indoor unit is installed at high location (ex. ceiling level), the thermostat tends to turn off at heating mode because of the hot air temperature around ceiling level. In order to solve the problem, the shift temp. (valid while heating only) is set when shipped from factory.
Page 55
( I ) Set the indoor unit address This function is usable if the auto. address operation is not available. Indoor unit address can be set one by one by remote controller. NOTE 1) In case of group control, branch wiring for group control should be removed temporarily. 2) In case of remote controllerless system, remote controller should be connected with the indoor unit temporarily.
