CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
The control panel keypad will look like the following Figure 1.
Power
Press the POWER button to turn the unit on or off.
Mode
Push this button to cycle through the modes from COOL-
HEAT-FAN-COOL. The indicator light beside the "MODE"
option will illuminate, identifying the mode selected.
COOL: Cooling begins automatically when the room tem-
perature is above the set point and stops when the room
temperature is 2°C(4°F) below the set point. But the com-
pressor will run 5 minutes at least in COOL mode before
stopping.
HEAT: The maximum temperature can be set up to 29°C /
84°F. For heat pump models, the unit can alternate to run
between in reverse cycle heat mode and electric heater
mode according to the difference between the setting tem-
perature and the room temperature. The fan motor cycles
with the compressor stop.
NOTE: The reverse cycle and electric heater can-
not be run at the same time. In following cases, it
is normal that the reverse cycle does not operate.
1. When the outdoor temperature is lower than 4°C /
40°F or the room temperature falls to 4.5°C / 8°F
below the set point temperature.
Figure 1
2. There is a 3-minute minimum compressor run time at
any setting to prevent short cycling. The indoor fan
motors starts before the compressor and stops after
the compressor cycles off.
3. Push the S1 on the DIP SWITCHES to UP (ON)
position.
4. When frost builds up to the evaporator coils, the unit
will defrost automatically and the compressor will
cycle off.
FAN: Fan operation only without heating and cooling.
NOTE: If the unit has DIP SWITCHES feature, the
temperature range can be set. See DIP SWITCHES
CONFIGURATIONS on page 8 for details.
Up / Down Buttons (+ / –)
Push the UP (or DOWN) button to increase (or decrease)
the set temperature of the unit in cooling or heating mode.
The temperature can be set by increments of 1°C (1°F).
The setting temperature appears in the display.
NOTE: Press and hold "+" and "–" buttons togeth-
er for 3 seconds will alternate the temperature
display between "°C" & "°F" scale.
Fan (Fan Speed)
Every time you push this button, the fan speed cycles
through the settings as follows: HIGH-MED-LOW- HIGH.
Constant Fan
In cooling mode, press the button to turn on or off the
constant fan function. When the function is turned on, the
constant fan light will illuminate, identifying the fan contin-
uous run for cooling. When the function is turned off, the
constant fan light will go out, identifying the fan cycle run
with compressor stop.
NOTE: Every time the unit is turned on, the func-
