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)
