Control Functions
4-3-3. Frost detection
(A) Frost detection does not occur for 5 minutes after operation starts.
(B) Frost is detected when either condition 1 or 2 below is met.
Condition 1: L2 line or below is detected twice, each time continuously for 4 minutes, when the compressor is
operating.
Condition 2: L1 line or below is detected for a total of 60 minutes when the compressor is operating.
4-3-4. Outdoor units where defrost occurs
Even if the total time has not reached 35 minutes, if there is 1 or more outdoor units that fulfills the defrost detec-
tion conditions, all operating outdoor units perform defrost control at the same time.
* Defrost control is also performed at outdoor units where the outdoor unit heat exchanger is not functioning as an
evaporator (such as stopped outdoor units).
4-3-5. Reverse Cycle Defrost
If there is 1 outdoor unit and no thermal storage tank in a refrigerant system, a reverse cycle defrost will be carried out.
• Defrost flow E: Evaporator operation
C: Condenser operation
E→C: Switching from evaporator operation to condenser operation
C→E: Switching from condenser operation to evaporator operation
