OUTDOOR LOW PRESSURE AND OUTDOOR UNIT CURRENT How to operate with fixed operational frequency of the compressor. 1. Press the EMERGENCY OPERATION switch on the front of the indoor unit , and select either the COOL mode or the HEAT mode before starting to operate the air conditioner. 2.
MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL MSZ-A09RV- MSZ-A12RV- Once the controls are set, the same operation mode can be repeated by simply turning the OPERATE/STOP button ON. Indoor unit receives the signal with a beep tone. When the system turns off, 3-minute time delay will operate to protect system from overload and compressor will not restart for 3 minutes.
Page 24
9-1. “I FEEL CONTROL” ( ) OPERATION 1. Press OPERATE/STOP button on the remote controller. OPERATION INDICATOR lamp of the indoor unit will turn on with a beep tone. 2. Press OPERATION SELECT button to set “I FEEL CONTROL”( ) Then a beep tone is heard. 3.
Page 25
5. TEMPERATURES buttons In “I FEEL CONTROL” (h)mode, set temperature is decided by the microprocessor based on the room temperature. In addition, set temperature is controlled by TOO WARM or TOO COOL buttons when you feel too cool or too warm. Pressing the TOO WARM or TOO COOL button emits a beep tone.
Page 26
Defrosting in DRY mode The operational frequency of the compressor is controlled based on the temperature of the indoor coil thermistor (RT12). Temperature of indoor coil thermistor:RT12 Operation frequency approx. 8°C or above normal approx. 6°C to 8°C fixed approx. 3°C to 6°C lower at the rate of 3Hz/min lower at the rate of 6Hz/min approx.
Page 27
2. High pressure protection In HEAT mode and manually-operated HEAT mode, the indoor coil thermistor detects the temperature at the indoor heat exchanger and controls the compressor rotational frequency to prevent the condensing pressure from increasing excessively. 3. Overload starting When the room temperature thermistor reads 18°C or above, the compressor runs with its maximum frequency regulated for 3 minutes after the start-up.
Page 28
9-2. COOL ( ) OPERATION (1) Press OPERATE/STOP(ON/OFF) button.Operation indicator lamp of the indoor unit turns on with a beep tone. (2) Select COOL mode with the OPERATION SELECT button. (3) Press TEMPERATURE buttons (TOO WARM or TOO COOL button)to select the desired temperature. The setting range is 16 ~ 31°C Indoor fan continues to operate regardless of thermostat’s OFF-ON Coil frost prevention is same as COOL mode of “I FEEL CONTROL”...

NOTE : Timer operation will not work without setting the current time. Initially “AM0:00” blinks at the current time display of TIME MONITOR, so set the current time correctly with CLOCK SET button.
Page 32
9-8. EMERGENCY-TEST OPERATION When the remote controller is missing, has failed or the batteries run down, press the EMERGENCY ON/OFF button on the front of the indoor unit. The unit will start and the OPERATION INDICATOR will light. The first 30 minutes of operation will be the test run operation. This operation is for servicing. The indoor fan runs at high speed and the system is in continuous operation.
Page 33
9-10. Operational frequency control of outdoor unit 1. Outline The operational frequency is decided by following the procedures below: First, set the target operational frequency based on the difference between the room temperature and the set temperature. Second, regulate the target operational frequency by discharge temperature protection, high pressure protection, electric current protection and overload protection and also by the maximum/minimum frequency.
Page 34
9-11 .Electronic expansion valve control (LEV control) (1)Outline of LEV control The LEV basic control is comprised of setting LEV opening degree to the standard opening degrees set for each operational frequency of the compressor. However, when any change in indoor/outdoor temperatures or other factors cause air conditioning load fluctuation, the LEV control also works to correct LEV opening degree based on discharge temperature (Shell temperature) of the compressor, developing the unit’s performance.

SERVICE FUNCTIONS 1. P.C. BOARD MODIFICATION FOR INDIVIDUAL OPERATION A maximum of 4 indoor units with wireless remote controllers can be used in a room. In this case, to operate each indoor unit individually by each remote controller, P.C. boards of remote controller must be modified according to the indoor unit number.
Page 39
3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, the set temperature, and the fan speed are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C.board. The “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” sets to work the moment the power has restored after power failure, then, the unit will restart automatically.
