13. Protection Control 
13.1  Restart Control (Time Delay Safety Control) 
•  When the thermo-off temperature (temperature which compressor stops to operate) is reach during:- 
o  Cooling operation – the compressor stops for 3 minutes (minimum) before resume operation. 
o  Soft Dry operation – the compressor stops for 6 minutes (minimum) before resume operation. 
•  If the operation is stopped by the remote control, the compressor will not turn on within 3 minutes from the 
moment operation stop, although the unit is turn on again within the period. 
•  This phenomenon is to balance the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle. 
 
13.2  7 Minutes Time Save Control 
•  The compressor will start automatically if it has stopped for 7 minutes and the intake air temperature falls 
between the compressor ON temperature (A) and compressor OFF temperature (B) during the period. 
•  This phenomenon is to reduce the built up humidity inside a room. 
 
13.3  60 Seconds Forced Operation 
•  Once the air conditioner is turned on, the compressor will not stop within 60 seconds in a normal operation 
although the intake air temperature has reached the thermo-off temperature. However, forced stop by pressing 
the OFF/ON operation button at the remote control is permitted. 
•  The reason for the compressor to force operate at the minimum 60 seconds is to allow the refrigerant oil run in a 
full cycle and return back to the outdoor unit. 
 
13.4  Starting Current Control 
•  When the compressor, outdoor fan motor and indoor fan motor are simultaneously started, the indoor fan motor 
will start to operate at 1.6 seconds later. 
•  The reason of the difference is to reduce the starting current flow.
