The operation modes restricted by each of these modes are as follows:
Priority mode
Neutral
Cooling priority
Heating priority

1. Priority mode decision methods
Method 1. (Default value)
The initial priority mode is made Neutral and is shifted to Cooling Priority when cooling and to Heating
Priority when heating depending on which operation mode (cooling, heating) was input first.
After shifting to Cooling Priority or Heating Priority, the priority mode shifts to Neutral only when there
was a Stop input from all the indoor units.
Method 2. (Management by outdoor unit)
Operation mode management is made "Management by outdoor unit" by outdoor unit PUSH-SW
(field setting).
The priority mode shifts to Cooling Priority or Heating Priority in accordance with input from the outdoor
unit regardless of the current mode.
