End Defrosting Action
If any one of following items is satisfied, defrosting stops and the
machine enters the normal Heating mode.
1. T3 > TempQuitDefrost_ADD °C
2. The defrosting time achieves 10 minutes

Outdoor Fan Control
Cooling Mode
Under normal operating conditions, the system chooses the running
fan speed according to the ambient temperature.
Fig. 37 — Cooling Mode
When low ambient cooling is in effect:
The outdoor fan speed controls logic (low ambient cooling).
When T4 < 59.(15°C) and T3 < 86.(30°C), the unit enters into the
low ambient cooling mode. The outdoor fan chooses a speed
according to T3.
When T3≥100.4.(38°C) or when T4≥68.(20°C), the outdoor fan
chooses a speed according to T4 again.

Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV) Control
1. EXV is fully closed when power is turned on. The EXV will
standby with the 350P open and then opens to the target angle after
the compressor starts.
2. EXV closes with - 160P when the compressor stops. Then EXV
will standby with the 350P open and then opens to the target angle
after the compressor starts.
3. The action priority of the EXVs is A-B-C-D-E.
4. Compressor and the outdoor fan start operation only after the EXV
is initialized.
Cooling Mode
The initial open angle of EXV is dependent on indoor model size,
adjustment range is 100-400p. When the unit starts to work for three
minutes, the outdoor unit receives the indoor units’ (of capacity
demand) T2B information and calculates their average.
After comparing each indoor T2B with the average. the outdoor gives
the following modification commands: if the T2B>average, the
relevant valve needs more 16p open. If the T2B = average, the
relevant valve’s open range remains. If the T2B<average, the relevant
valve needs more 16p close. This modification will be carried out
every two minutes.
