Function and Control
ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE OPERATION — Electronic expansion valves of the indoor unit regulate the refrigerant
flow to control superheat during cooling operation and subcooling during heating operation.

500P EEV Operation Driver
When the indoor unit receives the following signal:
• Signal to turn OFF
• Indoor unit error signal
• Indoor unit turns to fan mode
• Indoor unit turns to thermo-OFF
• Indoor unit shut down due to low temperature protection on the evaporator
The EEV’s control uses the following logic:
• If the outdoor unit shuts down without cooling capacity requirement:
The EEVs keep previous opening for three minutes.
Then EEVs conduct 300P opening (EEV whose opening is not equal to zero will close to 0P first, then open to 300P).
• If the cooling capacity requirement of the outdoor unit is not equal to 0, the EEVs keep the previous opening for 25 seconds
after the indoor unit turns off, then close to -16P to reset the opening and standby.
When the indoor unit receives the turn ON signal, the EEVs control uses the following logic:
