2-1. Outdoor Unit Operating Rules
All outdoor units in this system contain an inverter compressor. Therefore there is no order of priority for the
outdoor units.
2-2. Delayed Start of Outdoor Units
2-2-1. Delayed start of outdoor units in the same system
If it is necessary to operate the compressors simultaneously at multiple outdoor units, each outdoor unit will start
in order of unit No. every one second, beginning with unit No. 1.
This is in order to reduce the load on the power supply equipment.

2-2-2. Delayed start for each system
When systems are linked with one communication cable and multiple systems are required to operate
simultaneously by the central control device, all main outdoor units will begin operating simultaneously. In this
situation, the load of the power supply equipment increases temporarily.
To prevent the overload, the start timing of each system can be delayed.
In order to enable this delay time, it must be set in the EEPROM for each system (Main outdoor unit). Those
systems (Main outdoor units) where this setting has been made will start after a delay according to their system
addresses.
To activate this delay start function, it is necessary to set it to EEPROM on main outdoor PCB.

2-3. Outdoor Unit Stop Rules
2-3-1. Stopping of all outdoor units
When all outdoor units must stop, the units stop at the same time. However, depending on the communications
timing, a difference of approximately 10 seconds may occur.
2-3-2. Stopping of individual outdoor units according to load of air-conditioning
-In cooling mode, all inverter compressors in the outdoor units operate and stop simultaneously.
* When ambient temperature is 10℃ or more, inverter compressor may stop excluding one with short operating time.
-In heating mode, the outdoor unit which has the inverter compressor with the shortest amount of operating time
continues to run and rest of the other outdoor units may be stopped according to load of air-conditioning.
