7-1. TIMER SHORT MODE For service, the following set time can be shortened by bridging JPG and JPS on the electronic control P.C. board. (Refer to 9-7.) · The set time for the ON/OFF timer can be reduced to 1 second for each minutes. · After the breaker is turned on, the time for starting the compressor, which normally takes 3 minuets, can be reduced to 3 seconds. Restarting the compressor, which takes 3 minuets, cannot be reduced.
7-2. HOW TO SET REMOTE CONTROLLER EXCLUSIVELY FOR A PARTICULAR INDOOR UNIT A maximum of 4 indoor units with wireless remote controllers can be used in a room. To operate the indoor units individually with each remote controller, assign a number to each remote controller according to the number of the indoor unit.
This setting can be set only when all the following conditions are met: · The
remote controller is powered OFF.
· Weekly timer is not set.
· Weekly timer is not being edited.
(1) Hold down
button on the remote controller for 2 seconds to enter the pairing mode.
(2) Press
button again and assign a number to each remote controller.
Each press of
button advances the number in the following order: 1 2 3 4.
(3) Press
button to complete the pairing setting.
After you turn the breaker ON, the remote controller that first sends a signal to an indoor unit will be regarded as the remote controller for the indoor unit. Once they are set, the indoor unit will only receive the signal from the assigned remote controller afterwards.

7-3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote
controller, the operation mode, the set temperature, and the fan speed are
memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C. board. “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION”
automatically starts operation in the same mode just before the shutoff of the
main power. Operation If the main power has been cut, the operation settings
remain. After the power is restored, the unit restarts automatically according
to the memory. (However, it takes at least 3 minutes for the compressor to
start running.) How to disable “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” Turn off the main power
for the unit. Cut the jumper wire to JR77 on the indoor electronic control
P.C. board. (Refer to 9-7.)
Indoor electronic control P.C. board
IC171
JR77
NOTE: · The operation settings are memorized when 10 seconds have passed after
the indoor unit was operated with the remote controller. · If main power is
turned OFF or a power failure occurs while AUTO START/STOP timer is active,
the timer setting is cancelled. · If the unit has been off with the remote
controller before power failure, the auto restart function does not work as
the power button of the remote controller is OFF. · To prevent breaker OFF due
to the rush of starting current, systematize other home appliance not to turn
ON at the same time. · When some air conditioners are connected to the same
supply system, if they are operated before power failure, the starting current
of all the compressors may flow simultaneously at restart. Therefore, the
special counter-measures are required to prevent the main voltage-drop or the
rush of the starting current by adding to the system that allows the units to
start one by one.

31°C). 1. Coil frost prevention The compressor operational frequency is
controlled by the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger to prevent the coil
from frosting. When the temperature of indoor heat exchanger becomes too low,
the coil frost prevention mode works. The indoor fan operates at the set speed
and the compressor stops. This mode continues until the temperature of indoor
heat exchanger rises. 2. Low outside temperature operation When the outside
temperature is lower, low outside temperature operation starts, and the
outdoor fan slows or stops. 3. Indoor fan speed control When the thermostat
turns OFF, the indoor fan operates very Low to reduce power consumption. When
the room temperature rises and the thermostat is ON, the indoor fan operates
according to the settings on the remote controller.

is starting, and the temperature of indoor heat exchanger and/or the room
temperature is low or when defrosting is being done, the indoor fan will stop
or rotate in Very Low speed. 2. High pressure protection The compressor
operational frequency is controlled by the temperature of the indoor heat
exchanger to prevent the condensing pressure from increasing excessively. When
the temperature of indoor heat exchanger becomes too high, the high pressure
protection works. The indoor fan operates following the cold air prevention
control. This mode continues until the temperature of indoor heat exchanger
falls. 3. Defrosting Defrosting starts when the temperature of outdoor heat
exchanger becomes too low. The compressor stops once, the indoor/outdoor fans
stop, the 4-way valve reverses, and the compressor re-starts. This mode
continues until the temperature of outdoor heat exchanger rises or the fixed
time passes.

· When indoor unit starts the operation while the defrosting of outdoor unit
is being done, it takes a few minutes (max. 10 minutes) to blow out the warm
air.
· In the heating operation, though indoor unit that does not operate may get
warm or the sound of refrigerant flowing
may be heard, they are not malfunction. The reason is that the refrigerant
continuously flows into it.
8-6. AUTO VANE OPERATION
1. Horizontal vane (1) Vane motor drive These models are equipped with a
stepping motors for the horizontal vanes. The rotating direction, speed, and
angle of the motor are controlled by pulse signals (approximately 12 V)
