[2] Controlling the Outdoor Unit
-1- Outline of Control Method
The outdoor units are designated as OC and OS in the order of capacity from large to small (if two or more units have the
same capacity, in the order of address from small to large).
The setting of outdoor unit can be verified by using the self-diagnosis switch (SW1).
The OC determines the operation mode and the control mode, and it also communicates with the indoor units.
The OS exercises autonomous distributed control (over defrost, error detection, and actuator control etc.) according to the
operation/control mode signals that are sent from the OC.
-2- Startup sequence rotation (Single refrigerant circuit)
At the initial startup, outdoor units start up in the order of "OC and OS." When the cumulative operation time of the OC reaches
two hours, the OS will start up before the OC at the next start up.
Startup sequence rotation is performed while all the indoor units are stopped. (Even after two hours of operation, startup se-
quence rotation is not performed while the compressor is in operation.)
Refer to [-12- Control at Initial Start-up] for the initial startup.(page 87)
Performing startup sequence rotation does not change the basic operation of OC and OS. Only startup sequence is changed.
Startup sequence of the outdoor units can be checked with the self-diagnosis switch (SW1) on the OC.
-3- Initial Control
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 1 minute. This process will take approximately three minutes when it is per-
formed for the first time.)
During the initial processing, the LED monitor on the outdoor unit's control board displays S/W version -> refrigerant type
-> heat pump -> cooling only and capacity -> and communication address in turn every second.
-4- Control at Start-up
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 com-
pleted (with a restriction on the frequency).
