7-2. Protective Functions

Overload prevention during heating

During HEAT operation, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is used to control the frequency and lessen the load on the compressor before the protective device is activated.

Freeze prevention

During COOL or DRY operation, freezing is detected and operation is stopped when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger matches the conditions below.

1.Freeze-prevention operation is engaged when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is below 43°F(6°C).

2.Restart after freeze-prevention operation occurs when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger reaches 46°F(8°C) or above.

d.When the temperature reaches Point C or above, freezing prevention is ended and control is the same as in the a area.

*When the temperature drops to below 36°F(2°C) (continuously for 2 minutes or longer), the compressor stops.

Once the freeze condition is detected, the air conditioner will

work less than the maximum frequency until it is turned off.

Cold-air prevention during heating

During heating, the fan speed is set to "LL" (very low) or stopped. As the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger rises, the fan speed is changed to the set speed.

NOTE

The fan speed is forcibly changed to "LL" beginning 30 seconds after the thermostat turns OFF.

At stability of operation refers to operation when the room temperature has approached the set temperature.

When HEAT operation starts, the indoor fan is stopped until the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger reaches 68°F(20°C) or higher, or until the room temperature reaches 59°F(15°C) or higher.
