4-1. 4-way valve [20S]
- This valve turns OFF at cooling, and turns ON at heating operation.
- This valve turns OFF at defrosting.
* When the outdoor unit stops, the 4-way valve maintains the same state just before. However, when the system 
stopped condition continues for 30 minutes, it is turned OFF.
4-2. SAVE valve [SAVE]
- This valve turns ON for 5 seconds before the inverter compressor starts. After the inverter compressor starts, the 
valve turns ON for 10 seconds. After that, it turns OFF.
- This valve turns ON for 30 seconds after the outdoor unit stops. After that, it turns OFF.
- This valve turns ON when high pressure sensor detects 3.4MPa to prevent abnormal pressure. This valve turns 
OFF when the high pressure goes down below 3.3MPa.

3-7-4. Primary current protection of HIC board
The fan motor current is included in primary current. PCB is protected from the power consumption increase of 
fan motor when the heat exchanger is blocked by frost, etc.

If this current is detected at regular intervals, alarm appears. 
Frequency of inverter compressor goes down.
Frequency of inverter compressor can increase.
Frequency of inverter compressor cannot increase.
