3 Startup Control 
3.1 Compressor Startup Delay Control 
In initial startup control and in restart control (except in oil return operation and defrosting operation), compressor startup 
is  delayed  such  that  a  minimum  of  the  set  re-start  delay  time  has  elapsed  since  the  compressor  stopped,  in  order  to 
prevent frequent compressor on/off and to equalize the pressure within the refrigerant system. The compressor re-start 
delays for cooling and heating modes are set on the user interface. Refer to the M thermal Split Engineering Data Book 
Part 3, 8.5  COOL MODE SETTING Menu  and Part 3, 8.6  HEAT MODE SETTING Menu . 
 
3.2 Compressor Startup Program   
In  initial  startup  control  and  in  re-start  control,  compressor  startup  is  controlled  according  to  outdoor  ambient 
temperature. Compressor startup follows one of two startup programs until the target rotation speed is reached. Refer to 
Figure 3-3.1, Figure 3-3.2.
