Warning
Be sure to use an exclusive power circuit for the equipment, and follow the technical standards related to
the electrical equipment, the internal wiring regulations and the instruction manual for installation when
conducting electrical work.
Insufficient power circuit capacity and improper electrical work can cause an electrical shock or fire.
Be sure to use the specified cable to connect between the indoor and outdoor units. Make the
connections securely and route the cable properly so that there is no force pulling the cable at the
connection terminals.
Improper connections can cause excessive heat generation or fire.
When connecting the cable between the indoor and outdoor units, make sure that the terminal cover
does
not lift off or dismount because of the cable.
If the cover is not mounted properly, the terminal connection section can cause an electrical shock,
excessive heat generation or fire.
Do not damage or modify the power cable.
Damaged or modified power cable can cause an electrical shock or fire. Placing heavy items on the
power cable, and heating or pulling the power cable can damage the cable.
Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant (R-410A / R22) in the refrigerant system.
If air enters the cooling system, an excessively high pressure results, causing equipment damage

7. Functions and control
7.1 Main functions and control specification
7.1.1 The operation frequency of outdoor unit and its control
7.1.1.1 The operation frequency control of compressor
The operation frequency scope of compressor：
Mode Minimun operation frequency Maximun operation frequency
Heating 36Hz 90 Hz
Refrigeration 36Hz 80 Hz
7.1.1.2 The starting of compressor
When the compressor is started for the first time, it must be kept under the conditions of
58Hz,88Hz for one minute (the overheating protection of the outdoor unit air-blowing temperature,
immediately decrease the frequency when the compressor is overflowing and releasing the pressure)，
then it can be operated towards the target frequency. When the machine runs normally, there’s no
such process. After starting the compressor for operation, the compressor should run according to the
calculated frequency, and every determined frequency for protection should be prior to the calculated
frequency.
7.1.1.3 The speeds of increasing or decreasing the frequency of the compressor
The speed of increasing or decreasing the frequency rapidly 1 -----------1HZ/second
The speed of increasing or decreasing the frequency slowly 2 -----------1HZ/10seconds
7.1.1.4 The calculation of the compressor’s frequency
1）The minimum/maximum frequency limitation
A．While refrigerating: F-MAX-r is the maximum operation frequency of the compressor; F-MIN-r is the
minimum operation frequency of the compressor.
B．While heating: F-MAX-d is the maximum operation frequency of the compressor; F-MIN-d is the
minimum operation frequency of the compressor.
2）The frequency limitation which is affected by the environment temperature.
(Wh_c= environment temperature)
Heating mode:
Serial No. Temperature scope Frequency limitation
1 Wh_c<-12 Max_hz8 90HZ
2 Wh_c<-8 Max_hz7 90HZ
3 Wh_c<-2 Max_hz4 90HZ
4 Wh_c<5 Max_hz5 85HZ
5 Wh_c<10 Max_hz1 80HZ
6 Wh_c<17 Max_hz2 70HZ
7 Wh_c<20 Max_hz6 60HZ
8 Wh_c>＝20 Max_hz3 45HZ
Remarks: The above are the maximum frequency limitations of the complete appliance which are
affected by the environment, and they have nothing to do with the ability of the indoor unit.

3 Wh_c<40 Max_hz3 80HZ
4 Wh_c<48 Max_hz4 65HZ
5 Wh_c>=48 Max_hz5 50HZ
Remarks: the above are not only the maximum frequency limitations of the complete appliance
which are affected by the environment, but also the maximum ability limitation of the system. When the
starting ability is not the maximum, its maximum frequency limitation is calculated by the following
equations:
The frequency limitation which is affected by the temperature and under the condition of actual
ability＝the actual running system ability*the maximum frequency which is limited by the temperature
and under the condition of maximum ability/the maximum designing ability of the system
ΔT=∑（ΔTi*Pi）/∑Pi (ΔTi=|Tst_i the setting temperature - Tnh_i the indoor environment
temperature|; Pi＝i the ability of the indoor unit)
Refrigeration/dehumidification:
Heating mode：
K=∑(Ki*Pi)/∑Pi
The calculation of the actual output frequency:
when there is no healthy airflow: F= F-ED-*(rated frequency)×P×K
When the healthy airflow has been set: F =F-ED-*×P×K（airflow speed）×K（healthy airflow）
Notes:
When refrigerating, it is needed to satisfy
F-MIN-d(compressor’s Min_hz)< F<F-MAX-d(compressor’s Max_hz)
When heating, it is needed to satisfy

7.1.2 The outdoor fan control (Exchange fan)
When the fan is changed among every airflow speed (including stop blowing), in order to avoid the
airflow speed from skipping frequently, it must be kept under each mode for over 30 seconds, and then
it can be changed to another mode (when refrigerating, the time is changed to 15 seconds).
7.1.2.1 The outdoor fan control when refrigerating or dehumidifying
After the compressor is started for 5 seconds, the outdoor fan is started at the medium speed at
first, after 30 seconds, it begins to control the airflow speed according to the temperature conditions of
the outdoor environment.

7.1.3 The control of the outdoor Electronic expansion valve (EEV)
(09K series have no this function)
In cooling mode, the EEV opening range is 90~480 steps. The EEV opening is 5 steps when unit is off.
In heating mode, the EEV opening range is 60~480 steps. The EEV opening is 45 steps when unit is
off.
After outdoor unit is off, the EEV opening keep the current on for 5 s, then open the EEV completely for
2 minutes, then become 5 steps (cooling) or 45 steps (heating).
The EEV opening will increase if SH (superheat degree) >0 while decrease if SH<0.

changed to non-heating mode, make sure the compressor is stoped for 2 minutes, and then close the
four-way valve.
7.1.5 Protection function
7.1.5.1 TTC high temperature-preventing protection
Once the machine is started, it can run TTC(air-blowing temp) overheating protection of
air-blowing, but air-blowing sensor malfunction must alarm after 4 minutes during which the
compressor is started (during the course of self-detection, there’s no such limitation)
Sensor detection methods: 100 times (one cycle of procedure run is one time, and about 5ms,
detection method for each time: continuously sampling for 8 times, then order them and take the mean
value of the middle 2 values), take the mean value.

7.1.5.2 TC high temperature-preventing control of the indoor heating unit：
Tpg_indoor is the highest value of the effective indoor unit (start it and it is in accord with the
running state). TC=indoor coil temp.
The indoor heat exchanger sensor tests the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger. If the
temperature is higher than 55℃, decrease the rotate speed of the compressor and do the high
temperature-preventing protection of the indoor heat exchanger; if the temperature of the indoor heat
exchanger is lower than 47℃, recover to the normal control.
