13.8 Deice Control

šWhen outdoor pipe temperature and outdoor air temperature is low, deice operation starts where indoor fan motor and outdoor fan motor stop, indoor unit horizontal vane close and operation LED blink with compressor ON.

13.9 Time Delay Safety Control (Restart Control)

šThe compressor will not restart within three minutes after compressor is stopped.

šThis control is not applicable if the power supply reset or after deice condition.

13.10 30 seconds Force Operation

šOnce the compressor starts operation, it will not stop its operation for 30 seconds in order to cycle back compressor oil.

šHowever, it can be stopped using remote control or Auto OFF/ON button at indoor unit.

13.11 Total Current Control

šBy referring to table below, during normal (default) operation, the running current refer to Hi values and during Power Save Mode, the running current refer to Lo values.

šWhen the outdoor unit total running current (AC) exceeds X value, compressor frequency will decrease.

šIf the running current does not exceed X value for 5 seconds, compressor frequency will increase.

šHowever, if total outdoor unit running current exceeds Y value, compressor will be stopped immediately for 3 minutes.

13.12 IPM (power transistor) Protection Control

šOverheating Prevention Control

o If IPM temperature rises to 176°F, outdoor fan speed will be increased.

o When the IPM temperature rises to 203°F, compressor operation will stop immediately. o Compressor operation restarts when temperature decreases to 194°F.

o If IPM temperature detected less than -22°F, IPM is judged as open circuit (“F96” is indicated).

šDC peak current control

o When IPM DC current exceeds set value of 30.0 ± 3.0 A, the compressor will stop.

oIf the DC peak current detected within 30 seconds after operation starts, compressor will restart after 1 minute.

oIf the DC peak current detected 30 seconds or more after operation starts, compressor will restart after

2 minutes.

oWithin 30 seconds after compressor restarts, if the DC peak current is exceeded set value continuously for 7 times, all indoor and outdoor relays will be cut off (“F99” is indicated).

šError reset can be done by power supply reset.
