1. Safety Control 
(1)  Time Delay Safety Control 
  3 minutes delay for compressor---The compressor is ceased for 3minutes to balance the pressure in the 
refrigeration cycle in order to protect the compressor. 
  2 minutes delay for 4-way valve---The 4-way valve is ceased for 2 minutes to prevent the 
refrigerant-gas abnormal noise when the HEATING operation is OFF or switch to the other operation 
mode. 
  20 seconds delay for indoor fan--- When the assistant thermistor turns off, the indoor fan operates in 
low speed for 20 seconds to release the heat of indoor unit. 
(2)  Indoor Pipe Temperature Sensor Frost Prevention Control 
When the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads 0℃ or below for 5 minutes, the indoor pipe temperature 
sensor frost prevention control starts. The compressor and outdoor fan stop and indoor fan operates at high 
speed for 3 minutes. After that, if the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads  less than 5℃ this control 
prolonged until the indoor pipe temperature sensor reads 5℃ or more. 
(3)  High Temperature Protection Control 
During HEATING operation, the outdoor fan motor and compressor are controlled by the indoor pipe 
temperature to prevent the high temperature of compressor. 
Outdoor fan OFF: 52℃ 
Outdoor fan ON:48℃ 
Compressor OFF:62℃ 
Compressor ON:48℃
