Split M thermal Split 1 Stop Operation The stop operation occurs for one of the 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 PCB digital displays and on the user interface. 2.
Split M thermal Split 3 Startup Control 3.1 Compressor Startup Delay Control In initial startup control and in restart control (except in oil return operation and defrosting operation), compressor startup is delayed such that a minimum of the set re-start delay time has elapsed since the compressor stopped, in order to prevent frequent compressor on/off and to equalize the pressure within the refrigerant system.
