[ VII Control ]
[2] Controlling the Outdoor Unit
-1- Initial Control <PUHY/PURY>
When the power is turned on, the initial processing of the microcomputer is given top priority.
During the initial processing, control processing of the operation signal is suspended. The control processing is resumed
after the initial processing is completed. Initial processing involves data processing in the microcomputer and initial setting
of each of the LEV opening. This process will take up to 2 minutes.
During the initial processing, the LED monitor on the outdoor unit's main board displays S/W version -> refrigerant type
-> heat pump -> cooling only and capacity -> and communication address in turn every second.
-2- Control at Start-up <PUHY/PURY>
The upper limit of frequency during the first 3 minutes of the operation is 50 Hz.
When the power is turned on, normal operation will start after the initial start-up mode (to be described later) has been
completed (with a restriction on the frequency).
-3- Bypass Control <PUHY>
Bypass solenoid valves (P72-P144,SV1; P168-P234,SV1,SV3), which bypass the high- and low- pressure sides, perform
the following functions.
(1) Bypass solenoid valve (SV1) (ON = Open)
[Example of an SV1 operation]
(2) Bypass valve (SV3, P168-P234 models only) (ON = Open)
The opening of SV3 is controlled by the operating state of No.1 and No.2 compressors.
