Auto-Mode; Drying Mode; Forced Operation Function; Sleep Function - Pioneer QUANTUM INVERTER Series Service & Troubleshooting Manual

• If any one of the following conditions is satisfied,
defrosting ends and the machine switches to normal
heating mode:
• T3 rises above TCDE1.
• T3 maintained above TCDE2 for 80 seconds.
• Unit runs for 10 minutes consecutively in defrosting
mode.
3.5.5 Evaporator Temperature Protection
When the evaporator temperature exceeds a preset
protection value, the compressor ceases operation.

Auto-mode

• This mode can be selected with the remote controller
and the setting temperature can be changed between
17°C~30°C (62 °F~86 °F).
• In auto mode, the machine selects cooling, heating, or
fan-only mode on the basis of ΔT ( ΔT =T1-TS).

≤ΔT≤A
ΔT< B
Heating*: In auto mode, cooling only models run the fan
• Indoor fan will run at auto fan speed.
• The louver operates same as in relevant mode.
• If the machine switches mode between heating and
cooling, the compressor will keep stopping for certain
time and then choose mode according to ΔT.
3.7

Drying mode

• Indoor fan speed is fixed at breeze and can't be
changed. The louver angle is the same as in cooling
mode.
• All protections are active and the same as that in
cooling mode.

Sleep function

• The sleep function is available in cooling, heating, or
auto mode.
• The operational process for sleep mode is as follows:
• When cooling, the temperature rises 1°C (2°F) (to
no higher than 30°C (86 °F)) every hour. After 2
hours, the temperature stops rising and the indoor
fan is fixed at low speed.
• When heating, the temperature decreases 1°C(2 °F)
(to not lower than 17°C(62.6°F)) every hour. After
2 hours, the temperature stops decreasing and the
indoor fan is fixed at low speed. Anti-cold wind
function takes priority.
• The operating time for sleep mode is 8 hours, after
which, the unit exits this mode and does not switch
off.

3.10 Auto-Restart function

• The indoor unit has an auto-restart module that
