1-1. COOLING OPERATION
1-1-1 COOLING CAPACITY CONTROL
A sensor (room temperature thermistor) built in the indoor unit will usually perceive
difference or variation between a set temperature and present room temperature, and
controls the operation frequency of the compressor.
* If the room temperature is 6.0°C higher than a set temperature,
the compressor operation frequency will attain to maximum performance.
* If the room temperature is 1.0°C lower than a set temperature, the compressor
will be stopped.
* When the room temperature is between +6.0°C to -1.0°C of the setting temperature,
the compressor frequency is controlled within the range shown in Table1.
However, the maximum frequency is limited in the range shown in Fig.1 based on the
fan speed mode and the outdoor temperature.

1-4. AUTO CHANGEOVER OPERATION
01-04
When the air conditioner is set to the Auto mode by remote controller, operation starts in the optimum
mode from among the Heating, Cooling, and Monitoring mode. During operation, the
optimum mode is automatically switched in accordance with temperature changes. The temperature
can be set between 18°C and 30°C in 0.5°C (wireless and 2WIRE remote controller)
Or 1.0°C (3WIRE remote controller) steps.
When operation starts, indoor fan and outdoor fan are operated for around 1 minutes.
Room temperature and outdoor temperature are sensed, and the operation mode is selected
in accordance with the table below. <Monitoring mode>
( Table 4 : Operation mode selection table )

When the compressor was stopped for 6 consecutive minutes by the temperature control function
after the Cooling or Heating mode was selected at above, operation is switched
to Monitoring and the operation mode is selected again.
When the middle zone is selected on the predetermining of the operation mode, the operation mode
before the changing to the monitor mode is selected.

1-9. ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE CONTROL
The most proper opening of the electronic expansion valve is calculated and controlled under the
present operating condition based on the following values.
The compressor frequency, the temperatures detected by the discharge temperature sensor
and the outdoor temperature sensor.
The pulse range of the electronic expansion valve control is 52 ~ 480 pulses (Cooling) and 52 ~ 480
pulses (Heating).
At the time of supplying the power to the outdoor unit, the initialization of the electronic
expansion valve is operated (528 pulses are input to the closing direction).
1-10. TEST OPERATION CONTROL
The compressor won't enter operation status for 3 minutes after the compressor is stopped,
even if any operation is given.
At the time when the air conditioner is switched from the cooling mode to heating mode,
the compressor is stopped, and the 4-way valve is switched in 3 minutes later
after the compressor stopped.
