7.5 Protection
7.5.1 Three minutes delay at restart for compressor.
7.5.2 Temperature protection of compressor discharge.
When the compressor discharge temp. is getting higher, the running frequency will be limited as below rules:
----If 102 <T5<115 , decrease the frequency to the lower level every 2 minutes till to F1.
---If T5>115 for 10 seconds, the compressor will stop and restart till T5<90 .

Note: if the low voltage protection occurs and not resumes within 3min, it will keep the protection always
after restart the machine.
7.5.4 Compressor current limit protection
If the compressor current exceeds the current limit value for 10 seconds, the compressor frequency will be
limited as below table.
Cooling mode:
Current frequency(Hz) Current limit value(A) Frequency limit
COOL_F10 ICOOLLMT6
COOL_F9 ICOOLLMT5
COOL_F8 ICOOLLMT4
COOL_F7 ICOOLLMT3
COOL_F6 ICOOLLMT2
COOL_F5 ICOOLLMT1
Decrease the frequecny to COOL_F4 and run at
COOL_F4 for 3 minutes.
After that,the frequency will be adjusted according to the
capacity demand and rise to the upper level every 3
minutes
(When the frequency>COOL_F4 via capacity demand).
If the current frequency is lower than COOL_F4, the frequency will not be limited.
After 10s of the compressor start, if the current>ICOOL,the AC will display the failure for 30 seconds and stop. The AC will restart 3
minutes later.
Heating mode:

HEAT_F12 IHEATLMT8
HEAT_F11 IHEATLMT7
HEAT_F10 IHEATLMT6
HEAT_F9 IHEATLMT5
HEAT_F8 IHEATLMT4
Decrease the frequency to HEAT_F4 and run at HEAT_F4
for 3 minutes.
After that, the frequency will be adjusted according to the
capacity demand and rise to the upper level every 3
minutes

HEAT_F7 IHEATLMT3
HEAT_F6 IHEATLMT2
HEAT_F5 IHEATLMT1
(When the frequency>Heat_F4 via capacity demand).
If the current frequency is lower than HEAT_F4, the frequency will not be limited.
After 10s of the compressor start, if the current>IHEAT,the AC will display the failure for 30 seconds and stop. The AC will restart 3
minutes later.
7.5.5 Indoor / outdoor units communication protection
If the indoor units can not receive the feedback signal from the outdoor units for 2 minutes, the AC will stop
and display the failure.
7.5.6 High condenser coil temp. protection.
When T3>65 for 3 seconds, the compressor will stop while the indoor fan and outdoor fan will continue.
When T3<52 , the protection will release and the compressor will restart after 3 minutes.
7.5.7 Outdoor unit anti-freezing protection
When T2B<0 for 250 seconds, the indoor unit capacity demand will be zero and resume to normal when
T2B>10 .
7.5.8 Oil return
Running rules:
1. If the compressor frequency keeps lower than RECOILINFRE for 2hours,the AC will rise the frequency
to RECOILFRE for 3mins and then resume to former frequency.
Model RECOILINFRE
45

40
2. During the oil return process, the EXV and indoor units keep the current running mode, the frequency
will not be limited by the compressor discharge temp. and the current.
7.5.9 Compressor preheating functions
----Preheating permitting condition:
If T4(outdoor ambient temperature) 3 and newly powered on or if T4 3 and compressor has stopped
for over 3 hours, the compressor heating cable will work.
----Preheating mode:
A weak current flow through the coil of compressor from the wiring terminal of compressor, then the
compressor is heated without operation.
----Preheating release condition:
If T4 5 or the compressor starts running, preheating function will stop.
7.5.10 Compressor crankcase heater
When T4<3 and the compressor is not running,the crankcase heater will be active.
When T4 5 or the compressor starts up,the crankcase heater will stop work.
