[3] FUNCTION
1. Function
1.1. Restart control
Once the compressor stops operating, it will not restart for 180 sec-
onds to protect the compressor.
Therefore, if the operating compressor is shut down from the remote
control and then turned back on immediately after, the compressor will
restart after a preset delay time.
(The indoor unit will restart operation immediately after the ON switch
is operated on the remote control.)
1.5. Peak control
If the current flowing in the air conditioner exceeds the peak control
current (see the table below), the  operation frequency is  decreased
until the current value drops below the peak control current regardless
of the frequency control demand issued from the indoor unit based on
the room temperature.

1.2. Outdoor unit 2-way valve freeze prevention control
If the temperature of the outdoor unit 2-way valve remains below 0°C
for 10 consecutive minutes during cooling or dehumidifying operation,
the compressor operation stops temporarily in order to prevent freez-
ing.
When the temperature of the 2-way valve rises to 10°C or higher after
about  180  seconds,  the  compressor  restarts  and  resumes  normal
operation.
1.3. Outdoor unit overheat prevention control
During cooling operation, if the temperature of the outdoor unit heat
exchanger exceeds the outdoor unit heat exchanger overheat preven-
tion temperature (about 55°C), the operating frequency is decreased
by about 4 to 15 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every 60 sec-
onds until the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger drops to
about 54
°C or lower.
Once  the  temperature  of  the  outdoor  unit
  heat  exchanger  drops  to
about 54°C or lower, the operating frequency is increased by about 4
to  10  Hz  every  60  seconds  until  the  normal  operation  condition
resumes.
If the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger exceeds the out-
door  unit  heat  exchanger  overheat  protection  temperature  for  (120
sec. : outdoor temperature  ≥  40°C, 60  sec  :  outdoor temperature  <
40°C)  at minimum operating frequency, the compressor stops operat-
ing and then restarts after about 180 seconds, and the above men-
tioned control is repeated.
1.4. Compressor overheat prevention control
If the temperature of the compressor exceeds the compressor over-
heat  prevention  temperature  (110°C),  the  operation  frequency  is
decreased by about 4 to 10 Hz. Then, this operation is repeated every
60 
seconds until the temperature of the compressor drops below the
overheat protection temperature (100°C)
.
Once  the  temperature  of  the compressor  drops below  the overheat
protection temperature, the operating frequency is increased by about
4  to  10  Hz  every  60  seconds  until  the  normal  operation  condition
resumes.
If the temperature of the compressor exceeds the overheat protection
temperature (for 120 seconds in cooling operation or 60 seconds in
heating operation) at  minimum  operating frequency, the compressor
stops operating  and then  restarts after about 180  seconds,  and  the
above mentioned control is repeated.
1.6. Outdoor unit fan delay control
The  compressor  stops  immediately  after  cooling,  dehumidifying  or
heating  operation  is  shut  down,  but  the  outdoor  unit  fan  continues
operation for 50 seconds before it stops.
1.7. Defrosting
1.7.1 Reverse defrosting
The  defrost  operation  starts  when  the  compressor  operating  time
exceeds 10 minutes during heating  operation, as shown below, and
the outside air temperature and the outdoor unit heat exchanger tem-
perature 
meet certain conditions. When the defrost operation starts,
the indoor unit fan stops. The defrost operation stops when the out-
door unit heat exchanger temperature rises to about 15°C or higher or
the defrosting time exceeds 9 minutes.
