XIII. Self Test

Main PCB Self-test

To initiate the self-test sequence, execute the following:

a)Turn on the ac. supply to the air-con.

b)Press and hold the Operation / Filter reset button for 6 seconds after which you can hear 2 beep sound to indicate activation of self-test sequence.

(Note : When press and hold for 3 seconds, a single beep will be heard. Keep on holding for another 3 seconds to achieve the total 6 seconds requirement to activate the self-test sequence.)

Observe the following events.

iall output devices are turned off

iiEEPROM is tested. If EEPROM is faulty, buzzer will sound for 3s

iiigreen, yellow & red LEDs are turned on.

iv1s later, the 4-way valve is turned on (applicable on Heat Pump Unit only)

v1s later, compressor is turned on

vi1s later, outdoor fan is turned on

vii1s later, indoor fan runs at low speed for 3s

viiiFollowing, the indoor fan runs at medium speed for 3s

ixFollowing, the indoor fan runs at high speed

x3s later, the vane moves to down position, taking 3.42s & stays for 2s

xiThe vane moves to home position, taking 1.47s and stays for 2s

xiiThe vane moves to middle position, taking 1.39s and stays for 2s

xiiiThe vane moves to angle position, taking 0.565s & stays for 2s.

xivThe vane moves to home position again, takes 1.96s & stays for 2s.

xvAll output devices are turned OFF.

For normal operation, power off the system and turn on the system again to cause a power on reset.

XIV. Memory Backup of Settings

Once the setting of the unit changed, it will be stored into the EEPROM immediately. After current restoration due to power source supply breakdown, the unit commences operation using all the settings at the time of the breakdown. However, all timing related fuction will be invalid. The unit will be randomly start with 3 minutes delay for compressor protection.

R407C specifications

Fedders R407C is a commonly used refrigerant that has made significant strides in the air conditioning and refrigeration industries. Developed as a replacement for R22, R407C blends three refrigerants: R32, R125, and R134a. This combination gives it versatile applications and makes it a popular choice in residential and commercial systems.

One of the main features of R407C is its zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). This is crucial in an era where environmental regulations are stricter and focus on reducing substances that could harm the ozone layer. R407C also boasts a relatively low global warming potential (GWP) compared to other refrigerants, which aligns with the growing demand for low-impact environmentally friendly solutions.

Technologically, R407C is compatible with many existing systems, particularly those designed for R22, making it a favored transitional refrigerant during the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances. However, it is vital to note that R407C operates at a higher pressure than R22, meaning that certain system components may need upgrading to ensure optimal performance and safety.

In terms of thermodynamic characteristics, R407C has a refrigerating effect similar to R22, making it efficient for cooling purposes across various applications. It has good heat transfer properties, which translates to efficient energy use in both residential and commercial installations. The refrigerant operates effectively across a broad temperature range, making it an ideal choice for air conditioners, heat pumps, and chillers.

Moreover, R407C is a near-azeotropic blend, which implies that it maintains its composition during evaporation and condensation. This characteristic helps in minimizing the risks of refrigerant fractionation, allowing for consistent performance over time.

Another noteworthy aspect of Fedders R407C is its favorable safety profile. It has a lower toxicity level compared to some other refrigerants, which enhances its suitability for varied applications. Additionally, it is non-flammable under normal conditions, making it a safe option for different installations.

In conclusion, Fedders R407C is characterized by its environmental safety, excellent thermodynamic qualities, and compatibility with existing refrigeration systems. As industries strive to meet new environmental regulations, R407C serves as a reliable option, providing performance without compromising on ecological concerns. Its pivotal role in transitioning to greener alternatives makes it a critical refrigerant in today’s climate-conscious market.
