1. COOLING OPERATION 1-1 COOLING CAPACITY CONTROL A sensor (room temperature thermistor) built in the indoor unit body will usually perceive difference or variation between a set temperature and present room temperature, and controls the operation frequency of the compressor. * If the room temperature is 4°F(2°C) higher than a set temperature, the compressor operation frequency will attain to maximum performance.
2. HEATING OPERATION 2-1 HEATING CAPACITY CONTROL A sensor (room temperature thermistor) built in the indoor unit body will usually perceive difference or variation between a set temperature and present room temperature, and controls the operation frequency of the compressor. * If the room temperature is lower by 6°F(3°C) than a set temperature, the compressor operation frequency will attain to maximum performance.
4. AUTO CHANGEOVER OPERATION When the air conditioner is set to the AUTO mode by remote control, operation starts in the optimum mode from among the HEATING, COOLING, DRY and MONITORING modes. During operation, the optimum mode is automatically switched in accordance with temperature changes. The temperature can be set between 64°F(18°C) and 88°F(30°C) in 2°F(1°C) steps.
