In Cool Mode, the operation of the Compressor (COMP), Outdoor Fan (OFAN) and Indoor Fan (IFAN)
are determined by the difference between the Room Temperature (RT) and the Set Point Temperature
(SPT) as in the graph above.
Notes:
1. In this graph, the IFAN is operating in the “Auto Fan Speed” setting. If the user has selected the low,
medium or high fan speed, the IFAN will run constantly at that speed only.
2. In addition to the value of (RT-SPT), the operations of the relays are also controlled by protection
delays. For example, (a) the minimum On/Off time of the COMP is 5 min and 3 min respectively, and
(b) the IFAN can change speed only after it has operated at the same speed for 30 sec.

The Heat Mode operation is similar to the Cool Mode operation. The COMP, OFAN and IFAN are mainly
controlled by the value of (RT – SPT). In the graph above, the IFAN is operating in Auto Fan speed mode.
Therefore, the IFAN speed changes automatically according to the (RT - SPT).
Note 1: The 30s IFAN operation is for purging the heat from the in-coil after COMP has stopped.
Note 2: The IFAN will not be turned on until the in-coil temperature is high enough (as shown in the
graph below) to prevent the unit from supplying cool air.

In Dry Mode, the unit operates in a mild cool mode to lower the humidity of the room. In order to
maintain a high efficiency in the drying operation without over lowering the room temperature excessively,
the Dry Mode is different from the Cool Mode in two ways.
1. The IFAN is forced to operate at low speed only. And, the IFAN is turned off with the COMP.
2. The unit operates in either the “Dry-on” state or the “Dry-off” state. If RT = SPT, the unit will operate
in “Dry-off” state. The COMP is forced to operate for 6 min after it has stopped working for 15 min.
If RT > SPT, the unit will operate in “Dry-on” state. The COMP is forced off for 3.5 min after it has
been working for 15 min.
Note 1: COMP is forced off in Dry-on state.
Note 2: COMP is forced to operate in Dry-off state.
5 Fan Mode Operation
In Fan Mode, the indoor fan is turned on to improve the air circulation in the room. COMP and OFAN
remain OFF all the time.
Note: If the user has selected the Auto Fan Speed setting, the IFAN speed would be selected by the unit
automatically according to the difference between RT and SPT, as in Cool Mode.

6 Protection Operations in Cool and Dry Modes
1. Indoor Coil Defrost Protection
The in-coil defrost protection can prevent the ice formation at the in-coil when the ambient
temperature is low.

2. Outdoor Coil High Pressure Protection

operation.

Note 1: In some applications, the outdoor fan and the compressor are controlled together by the COMP
relay output from the controller. In this case, it will take more time for the out-coil to cool down
during the high pressure protection, because the outdoor fan will be turned off with the
compressor instead of working as in the graph above.

7 Protection Operations in Heat Mode
7-1 Outdoor Coil Deice Protection
The deice process is controlled by an Ice Detection Algorithm (IDA). The IDA is an unique control
algorithm incorporated to maintain optimal utilization of the heat pump capacity, especially in below-zero
outdoor temperature condition. The out-coil deicing will be activated not only by static temperature
detection as normally done, but also while ice forming is detected on the out-coil.

Explanation:
The “Ice Forming Detection” will be done by two algorithms –
1. In Dynamic Temp Detection, the ice formation will be detected by
(i) Compare the OCT with a Deicing Dynamic Temperature Threshold, and
(ii) Detect the drop in ICT which accompany the ice formation.
2. The Static Temp Detection will be done by comparing the OCT with a Deicing Static Temperature
Threshold.
The Deicing Data Record is used to determine the time delay between two deicing cycles. In general, the
time delay will be increased if the last deicing cycle can be completed quickly.

8Cold Draft Prevention (Heating)
•This function controls indoor fan speed so a strong draft of cold air will not blow out before the indoor heat
exchange coil have sufficiently warmed up.
•When 10 minutes has elapsed, the fan speed is automatically switched to set speed regardless of indoor heat
exchange coil temperature.

Unit can be programmed to be ON and OFF automatically at preset time everyday, by using a remote
controller. The resolutions of the ON/OFF timers are 10 min.
11 IFEEL Function
This feature is provided if the unit is used together with a remote controller with the I-FEEL function.
When this function is selected, the remote controller sends the room temperature measured by its build-in
thermistor to the air con for more accurate temperature control.
