[ VII Control ]

[2] Controlling the Outdoor Unit

-1- Initial Control

When the power is turned on, the initial processing of the microcomputer is given top priority.
During 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 1 minute.)
During the initial processing, the LED monitor on the outdoor unit's main board displays S/W version -> refrigerant type
-> model and capacity -> and communication address in turn every second.

-2- Control at Start-up

The upper limit of frequency during the first 3 minutes of the operation is 50 Hz.
When the power is turned on, normal operation will start after the initial start-up mode (to be described later) has been
completed (with a restriction on the frequency).

-3- Bypass Control

Bypass solenoid valves (P250,SV1; P500,SV1,SV3), which bypass the high- and low- pressure sides, perform the follow-
ing functions.
(1) Bypass solenoid valve (SV1) (ON = Open)
Operation
At No. 1 compressor start-up or at No. 2
compressor start-up
(P500 model only)
After the restoration of thermo or 3 minutes
after restart
During cooling or heating operation with the
compressor stopped
After the operation has stopped
During defrost operation
(See *1 in the figure below.)
During oil-recovery operation
During an operation with the compressor
running at 30 Hz (After 3 minutes have
passed since start-up)
When high pressure (Pd) rises
