ESG‐Inv M 1 Stop The stop operation occurs for one of the following reasons: • Abnormal shutdown: in order to protect the compressors, if an abnormal state occurs the system stops and an error code is displayed on the outdoor unit PCB digital displays and on the user interface. • The system stops when the set temperature has been reached. 2 Standby 2.1 Water Pump Control The water pump will run regularly to circulate the pool water to the heat pump so that the water temperature of the pool can be detected, and heat pump can provide hot/cold water in time. 3 Startup operation 3.1 Compressor • Startup Delay 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 3minutes has elapsed since the compressor stopped, in order to prevent frequent compressor on/off and to equalize the pressure within the refrigerant system. • Startup platform In initial startup control and in re‐start control, compressor startup is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature. Compressor startup follows one of two startup programs until the target rotation speed is reached. ...

ESG‐Inv M When the outdoor unit stops:The EXV first moves to 480 (steps) and remains for 30 seconds, then closes fully, then moves to the standby position (480 (steps)). • Four‐way Valve Control The four‐way valve is used to change the direction of refrigerant flow through the water side heat exchanger in order to switch between cooling and heating mode. During heating operation, the four‐way valve is on; during cooling and defrosting operations, the four‐way valve is off. • Fan The speed of the outdoor unit fan is adjusted in steps, as shown below Fan speed (rpm) Fan speed index MSC‐70D2N8‐A MSC‐90D2N8‐A MSC‐120D2N8‐A W1 150 150 150 200 200 200 250 250 250 300 300 300 ...

The defrosting operation is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature, air side heat exchanger refrigerant outlet temperature and the compressor running time. • Manual defrosting It can be active by setting on the wired controller, which is also aimed to help heat pump recover heating capacity quickly. Manual defrosting function will be deactivated automatically after normal defrosting. Component Wiring diagram label Control functions and states Inverter compressor ...
