(Delay and recovery of Answer-back signal)
Please be sure to set the timeout time of an answerback signal as 8 seconds or more. The
reason is explained below.
In normal operation, an answer-back signal is fundamentally send to the equipment side
within a maximum of 0.3 seconds delay in response to a command signal. In the following
conditions, however, the answer-back signal is sent behind time:
(a) When the power supply of the compressor is turned ON
(b) When the reboot command of the compressor is emitted within 0.3 second from the
operation stop command
(c) When a short power interruption for less than 2 seconds has occurred
In case of the above (a), it takes a few seconds for the compressor to initialize after it is
powered on. Therefore the compressor will neither recognize nor output any remote signal
with the equipment for a maximum of 5 seconds. For reference, the signal delay when
powered on in Alternate operating mode is shown in Fig. 2-8.
