7.2  Defrosting Operation 
In  order  to  recover  heating  capacity,  the  defrosting  operation  is  conducted  when  the  outdoor  unit  heat  exchanger  is 
performing as an evaporator. The defrosting operation is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor 
heat exchanger temperature, indoor heat exchanger temperature and outdoor units running time. When the outdoor unit 
is running in defrosting, the digital display on outdoor main PCB will display “df”. 
 
Reverse Cycle Defrosting Operation 
Timing of reverse cycle defrosting operation: 
  Te<-2°C and T4<20°C, meeting either of the points below: 
1)  When there is an obviously drop in the temperature of outdoor unit heat exchanger outlet   
2)  When cumulative operating time after the latest defrosting control arrives an hour 
  Compulsive defrosting or oil return set manually after PI control 1min. (Set n17 by “SW5” in main board or spot check 
board)
