4 Startup Control 
4.1 Compressor Startup Delay Control 
In initial startup control, compressor startup is delayed for 12 minutes in order to let the outdoor unit search for the indoor 
units’ addresses. In restart control (except in oil return operation and defrosting operation), compressor startup is delayed 
such that a minimum of 7 minutes has elapsed since the compressor stopped, in order to prevent frequent compressor 
on/off and to equalize the pressure within the refrigerant system. 
 
4.2 Startup Control for Cooling Operation
