Cooling in operation according to Remote Control setting.
Time Delay Safety Control (3 minutes)
7 minutes Time Save Control
Anti-Freezing Control
• If the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger falls
continuously below 2°C for 4 minutes or more, the
compressor turns off to protect the indoor heat exchanger
from freezing. The fan speed setting remains the same.
• Compressor will restart again when the indoor heat
exchanger temperature rises to 10°C (Recovery).
3 minutes waiting of Time Delay Safety Control is valid for
Cooling Operation.
Compressor Reverse Rotation Protection Control
Anti-Dew Formation Control
8 Operation Details
8.1. Cooling Mode Operation
• When the compressor is stopped by Remote Control, it restarts after 3 minutes when the Remote Control is turned ON.
• When the setting temperature is reached during cooling operation, the compressor stops and it will not start for 3 minutes.
• The compressor will start automatically if it has stopped for 7 minutes even if the room temperature is between the compressor
ON temperature and OFF temperature.
• If the compressor is operating continuously for 5 minutes or longer and the temperature difference between intake air and
indoor heat exchanger is 2.5°C or less for 2 minutes, compressor will stop and restart automatically .
(Time Delay Safety Control is valid)
▲T = Intake air temperature - Indoor heat exchanger temperature
This is to protect reverse rotation of the compressor when there is a instantaneou s power failure.
• Purpose is to prevent dew formation on indoor unit air discharge area.
• When the following conditions occur for 30 minutes continuously, anti-dew formation is controlled by indoor fan speed shift to
low (Changed to Lo+):
− Indoor intake air temperature is more than 24°C and less than 30°C.
− Remote Control setting temperature is less than 25°C.
− Compressor is on.
− Cooling operation mode.
− Indoor Fan motor operate at Low fan speed.
• This control is cancelled immediately when above condition is changed.

8.2. Soft Dry Mode Operation
• The unit starts cooling operation until the room temperature reaches the setting temperature set on the Remote Control, and
then Soft Dry operation will start.
• During Soft Dry operation, the Indoor Fan will operate at SLo speed.
• Once room temperature reaches below Soft Dry OFF temperature. Indoor Fan, Compressor and Outdoor Fan stop for 6
minutes.
• Once the compressor stops, it will not start for 3 minutes during Cooling operation.
• Same as Anti-Freezing Control for Cooling Mode operation. (For Soft Dry region, 6 minutes waiting is valid during compressor
stops.)
• Same as Compressor Reverse Rotation Protection Control for Cooling Mode Operation. (For Soft Dry region, 6 minutes waiting
is valid during compressor stops.)
• Same as Anti-Dew Formation Control for Cooling Mode operation.
When Automatic Fan Speed is selected at Remote Control during Soft Dry operation.
• Fan speed off and on at SLo speed.
• Deodorizing Control.

Air Circulation Mode Operation Time Diagram
Standard for Determining Operation Mode
8.3. Air Circulation Mode Operation
• When the temperature near the ceiling reaches the setting temperature, Air Circulation Mode operation commences at low
airflow volume. It stops when the temperature drops to 2°C below the setting temperature.
8.4. Automatic Mode Operation
• Indoor fan operates at SLo fan speed for 20 seconds.
• After judging indoor air temperature, the operation mode is determined and operation continued at the mode determined.
• After the operation mode has been determined, the mode does not change. However, Soft Dry mode operation includes
Cooling mode operation.
• Room temperature adjustment.
The following are added to the setting temperature specified as above.
• The mode judging temperature and standard setting temperature can be increased by 2°C, by open the circuit of JX1 at indoor
electronic controller.

Cooling or Soft Dry Operation
Purpose is to obtain a comfortable room temperature while
sleeping. When you press the SLEEP Mode, the following
movement will start to avoid overcooling.
• Sleep shift operation starts, when the room temperature
reaches the setting temperature or after 1 hour of operation.
• The setting temperature will be risen by 0.5°C at the start of
operation and by 0.5°C one hour later.
• The airflow volume will automatically change to Low fan
speed.
• Sleep Mode operation time is 8 hours, the operation will be
stop after 8 hours.
• When used together with the Timer, the Timer has priority.
8.5. Sleep Mode Auto Operation
8.6. Powerful Mode Operation
• Purpose of this operation is to obtain the setting temperature quickly.
• When the Powerful Mode is set, the set temperature will be automatically decreased 3°C against the present setting
temperature (Lower temperature: 16°C).
• This operation automatically will be running under SHi Fan Speed (Cooling), SLo Fan Speed (Soft Dry).
• Vertical Airflow Direction:-
- In “Manual” setting, the vane will automatically swing down 10° lower than previous setting.
- In “Auto” setting, the vane will automatically swing up and down. However the lower limit will be shifted 10° downward.
• Powerful Mode will operate for 15 minutes only, after that it will shift back to previous operation mode.
• Powerful Mode will stop if:-
- Powerful mode button is pressed again.
- Stopped by ON / OFF switch.
- Timer OFF activates.
- Economy mode button is pressed.
- Sleep mode is pressed.
- Operation mode button is changed.
8.7. Economy Mode Operation
• Purpose of this operation is to save or reduced electrical power consumption of the room air conditioner.
• When the Economy Mode is set, the set temperature will be automatically increased 0.5°C against the preset setting
temperature (Higher temperature: 30°C).
• This operation automatically will be running under SLo Fan Speed.
• Vertical Airflow Direction:-
In “Manual” or “Auto” setting, the vane will automatically change to Auto Air Swing.
• Economy Mode will stop if:-
- Economy Mode button is pressed again.
- Stopped by ON / OFF switch.
- Timer OFF activates.
- Powerful mode button is pressed.
- Auto or Manual air swing button is pressed.
- Fan Speed control button is pressed.
- Sleep Mode button is pressed ON.
- Operation Mode is changed.
