OVERVIEW Introduction to System Single Zone Ductless Split System Heat Pumps feature a wall mounted indoor fan/evaporator unit that receives refrigerant from an inverter driven variable speed outdoor condensing unit. The system operation is controlled with a remote control. The outdoor unit features a variable speed rotary compressor, EEV metering device and DC fan motor. These systems use R32 refrigerant and PVE oil. The outdoor units are 208/230 volt rated systems.
FUNCTIONS AND CONTROL Cooling Operation Mode Communication Overview The indoor and outdoor unit main boards communicate via a digital signal on the wire connected to terminal 3 of each unit. A splice or break in this The temperature control range in cooling mode is 60°F - 86°F. The wire will cause a communication error.
FUNCTIONS AND CONTROL Heating Operation Mode Overview 4. Coil temperature is higher than 37°C/ 100°F, fan speed according to the set operation. The temperature control range in heating mode is 60°F - 86°F. The temperature set by the remote control and the indoor unit ambient 5.
FUNCTIONS AND CONTROL unit and press the power button, then press the HEAT mode button if not equal to or higher than 2°F above the room set temperature. The indoor already set to heat mode. control board will communicate to the outdoor control board to de- energize the compressor.
FUNCTIONS AND CONTROL Temperature Sensors 3. 25 seconds later the 4-way valve will shift to the heating mode. 4. 30 seconds later the compressor will start, and the system resumes The indoor unit has two sensors that provide temperature information to normal operation.
FUNCTIONS AND CONTROL Indoor Coil Anti-Freeze Protection Special Functions The temperature sensed by the coil sensor is used to determine at what Auto Restart speed the compressor is to run to avoid the coil temperature being too When this is enabled, the following functions will automatically resumes cold.

COMPONENTS Terminal Block Compressor The compressor is a three phase DC inverter driven rotary type, capable of variable speed operation. The compressor operating frequency will be determined by the temperature difference between set point and room The outdoor unit is powered by 208/230 volt single phase electricity temperature.
COMPONENTS 4-Way Valve Temperature Sensors These 3 sensors are part of an assembly and will all be changed together. Discharge Temperature Sensor The Discharge Temperature Sensor is a negative coeffıcient thermistor that senses the temperature of the compressor hot gas. The PCB monitors the temperature of the compressor hot gas and will make inverter speed The 4-Way Valve redirects the flow of refrigerant in the piping circuit to changes in response to input from this device.
COMPONENTS Accumulator The Accumulator is located in the suction line circuit at the entrance to the compressor. The accumulator helps prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor during run operation. Refrigerant Strainers The system has debris-catching strainers that protect internal system components from contaminants in the refrigerant.
SERVICE PROCEDURES NOTE: Component resistance readings shown in this section are for reference only. Actual resistance values may vary based on model being tested. Testing of the following components requires the use of needle probes. Avoid testing the connector end of the plug, as damage to the internal sections of the plug can occur.
