[2] Controlling the Outdoor Unit

-1- Outline of Control Method

ŒThe outdoor units are designated as OC, OS1 and OS2 in the order of capacity from large to small (if two or more units have
the same capacity, in the order of address from small to large).
ŒThe setting of outdoor unit can be verified by using the self-diagnosis switch (SW1).

ŒThe OC determines the operation mode and the control mode, and it also communicates with the indoor units.
ŒThe OS exercises autonomous distributed control (over defrost, error detection, and actuator control etc.) according to the
operation/control mode signals that are sent from the OC.

-2- Startup sequence rotation

ŒAt the initial startup, outdoor units start up in the order of "OC, OS1 and OS2." After two or more hours of operation, the startup
sequence changes to "OS1, OS2 and OC" or "OS2, OC and OS1".
ŒStartup sequence rotation is performed while all the indoor units are stopped. (Even after two hours of operation, startup se-
quence rotation is not performed while the compressor is in operation.)
ŒRefer to [-12- Control at Initial Start-up] for the initial startup.
ŒPerforming startup sequence rotation does not change the basic operation of OC and OS. Only startup sequence is changed.
ŒStartup sequence of the outdoor units can be checked with the self-diagnosis switch (SW1) on the OC.

-3- Initial Control
ŒWhen the power is turned on, the initial processing of the microcomputer is given top priority.
ŒDuring the initial processing, control processing of the operation signal is suspended. (The control processing is resumed after
the initial processing is completed. Initial processing involves data processing in the microcomputer and initial setting of each
of the LEV opening. This process will take up to 5 minutes.)
ŒDuring the initial processing, the LED monitor on the outdoor unit's control board displays S/W version -> refrigerant type
-> heat pump -> cooling only and capacity -> and communication address in turn every second.
-4- Control at Start-up
ŒThe upper limit of frequency during the first 3 minutes of the operation is 50 Hz.
ŒWhen the power is turned on, normal operation will start after the initial start-up mode (to be described later) has been com-
pleted (with a restriction on the frequency).
