l
Three Minute Guard (Enforced Operation)
If all indoor units of the system are Thermo-OFF
within approximately 3 minutes after compressor
has started, compressor is operated during 3

However, if all indoor units of the system are
stopped by remote control switch, compressor is
stopped.
l
Oil Return Operation
If an indoor unit is stopped more than 2 hours
continuously, this function is operated during a
few minutes.
It has this function to prevent to accumulate in
the heat exchanger of stoppage indoor unit at
cooling operation.
l
Frost Prevention During Cooling Operation
When the indoor unit is operated at low
discharge air temperature, the cooling operation
may be changed to fan operation for a while
to avoid frost formation on the indoor heat
exchanger.
l
Self-Cleaning Expansion Valve
It is for self cleaning the expansion valve when
the operation is stopped at cooling.
The sound which the refrigerant ows may
be heard from the indoor unit during the self-
cleaning. However it is not abnormal.
l
Hot Start During Heating Operation
To prevent cold air discharge in the room, the
fan speed is controlled from the slow position
and the low position and then to the set position
according to the discharge air temperature.
At this time the louver is xed horizontally.
Except for a long period of shutdown, keep the
main power switch ON. The drain discharge
mechanism is operated if the drain level is higher
than the setting.
