Remote controller OPERATION Remote Control Remote controller The remote controller transmits signals to the system. SMART(invalid for multi system) TEMP+ Used to enter fuzzy logic operation directly, regardless of the unit is on or off. Used to adjust the room temperature and the timer, also real time.
Page 20
OPERATION Remote Technical Parameters Remote receiver distance (front of the air conditioner): 26ft. Remote receiver angle: Less than 60 degrees. Temperature control accuracy: ±2.4°F. Time Response: Less than 1 second. Display Functions Remote Current control functions on the remote controller (See unit’s “Installation and Operating Manual”) Display of the indoor unit displays set temperature or indoor temperature.
OPERATION Sleep mode will cease after 8 hours of operation. Using Sleep during Off-Timer Function When using Sleep mode, if the next OFF-Timer setting less than 8 hours, Sleep mode will remain active until the OFF-Timer setting. If the next OFF-Timer setting more than 8 hours, it will override the OFF-Timer setting and will turn the system off 8 hours after engaging Sleep mode.

OPERATION Air flow direction (Louvers) control The louver is operated by a stepper motor and operates the horizontal swing of the louver automatically. Press the SWING button to start or stop the louver swing. During the louver swing in normal operation, the current position will be stored. When the appliance turns off and the louvers swing automatically to the default position, it will position at the close position plus 5º.
Page 23
OPERATION Dehumidifying mode The dehumidifying mode is illustrated as follows: 62˚F Figure 304 Dehumidifying area I: Operation at the frequency in the range (30–60Hz) according to Dt (Tindoor ambient-Tset). Dehumidifying area II: The compressor stops for 5 minutes and operators for 5 minutes at the lowest frequency. Dehumidifying area III: The compressor stops.

Leak Check, Evacuation, and Charging (Triple Evacuation) Friedrich requires all installations are Leak Checked and Evacuated in accordance to the “triple evacuation” process. This process promotes a dry tight refrigeration system before opening the service valves. It recommended that a single port refrigeration manifold and hoses rated over 31.5psi be used.

COMPONENTS TESTING Compressor OVERLOAD PROT ECTION INVERTER POWER & CONTROLLER Resistance Test. The compressor is at fault if the resistance of winding is 0(short circuit)or∞ open circuit.

COMPONENTS TESTING EEV Stepper Coil Discharge pipe temperature is too high. This means the compressor is over heating and will shut down and lock itself out. The cause for this issue is lack of refrigerant coming back to the compressor to cool the compressor. The main causes of this would be low charge, restriction or issue with the electronic expansion valve (EEV).

COMPONENTS TESTING Fan Motor Resistance Test. Test the resistance of the main winding. The indoor fan motor is faulted if the resistance of main winding 0 (short circuit)or ∞ open circuit. DC Voltage test Manually rotate indoor fan motor slowly for several revolutions, and measure voltage “YELLOW” and “GND” on motor. The voltage repeats 0V DC and 5V DC.
