V5 X VRF 460V 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.
V5 X VRF 460V 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 master 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.
