4. FUNCTION 4-1. Room Temperature Control I Cooling G Room temperature control is obtained by cycling the compressor ON and OFF under control of the room temperature sensor in the remote control unit. G The room temperature (and other informations) is transmitted every 5 minutes by the remote control unit to the controller in the indoor unit.

I Heating G Room temperature control is obtained by cycling the compressor ON and OFF under control of the room temperature sensor in the remote control unit. G The room temperature (and other information) is transmitted every 5 minutes by the remote control unit to the controller in the indoor unit.
4-2. Dry Operation (Dehumidification) G Dry operation uses the ability of the cooling cycle to remove moisture from the air, but by running at low level to dehumidify without greatly reducing the room temperature. The air conditioner repeats the ON/OFF cycle automatically as shown in the chart below according to the room temperature.
4-4. Freeze Prevention (Cooling) G This function prevents freezing of the indoor heat exchange coil. G When the compressor has been running for 10 minutes or more and the temperature of the indoor heat exchange coil falls below –1°C, the control circuit stops the compressor for at least 6 minutes. The compressor does not start again until the temperature rises above 8°C or 6 minutes has elapsed.
4-6. Cold draft Prevention (Heating) G This function controls indoor fan speed so that strong draft of cold air could not blow out before the indoor heat exchange coil have sufficiently warmed up. G STANDBY lamp of the indoor unit lights up when this function is working. G When 10 minutes has elapsed, the fan speed is automatically switched to set speed regardless of indoor heat exchange coil temperature.
4-7. Defrosting Operation (Heating) I Defrosting Flowchart Compressor ON Release of overload prevention (Outdoor fan operates.) Overload prevention works. Does outdoor fan stop? Outdoor fan is either operated Indoor heat exchanger coil Integrated operating time of Integrated operating time of compressor is more than 3 compressor is more than 1.5 or stopped for more than 10...
5. TROUBLESHOOTING 5-1. Check before and after troubleshooting WARNING Hazardous voltage can cause ELECTRIC SHOCK or DEATH. Disconnect power or turn off circuit breaker before you start checking or servicing. 5-1-1. Check power supply wiring. G Check that power supply wires are correctly connected to terminals L and N on the terminal plate in the outdoor unit.

5-2-3. Only outdoor unit does not run. A. Check setting temperature. COOL HEAT Is room temperature too low ? Is room temperature too high ? Try to lower setting temperature by Try to raise setting temperature by temperature setting button ( button).
5-3. Some part of air conditioner does not operate. 5-3-1. Only indoor fan does not run. • Check fan casing Remove foreign foreign matter on matter or repair. Fan cannot inside. be turned. • Check fan rotation. Turn fan gently once or twice by hand.
5-3-4. Only compressor does not run Check compressor motor Overload relay is working capacitor C1 (either OLR T or OLR A) Measure resistance of Temperature of compressor compressor motor winding is abnormally high Refrigerant gas shortage Charge refrigerant gas Measure power supply voltage Rotor may be locked up The voltage is too low 5-3-5.

6. CHECKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS 6-1. Measurement of Insulation power plug (Local supply) Resistance G The insulation is in good condition if the resistance Ground exceeds 2MΩ. probe 6-1-1. Power Supply Wires Insulation tester Clamp the grounding terminal of the power plug with a NOTE lead clip of the insulation resistance tester and The shape of the power plug may differ from that...
6-2. 7-2. Checking Continuity of Fuse Fuse on PCB Ass'y G Remove the PCB Ass’y from the electrical component box. Then pull out the fuse from the PCB Ass’y. (Fig. 5) PCB Ass’y G Check for continuity using a multimeter as shown in Fig.
7. MAINTENANCE 7-1 Changing Address of Remote Control Unit in Indoor Unit If you are installing more than 1 indoor unit (up to 2) in the same room, it is necessary for you to assign each unit its own address, so each can be operated by its own separate remote control unit. You assign the addresses by matching the remocon address on the PCB of each indoor unit with the switch positions of its remote control unit.
