Fan Speed Adjustment Guidance

When the wired controller connected with the unit (dip switch SA1:0000) has different static pressure levels, they can be adjusted. The fan speeds of different static pressure levels are as follows:

Static Pressure Level Super High Middle Low
04 Speed 8 Speed 6 Speed 5 Speed 4
05 Speed 9 Speed 7 Speed 6 Speed 5
06 Speed 10 Speed 8 Speed 7 Speed 6
07 Speed 11 Speed 9 Speed 8 Speed 7
08 Speed 12 Speed 10 Speed 9 Speed 8
09 Speed 13 Speed 11 Speed 10 Speed 9

From the factory, the default static pressure level of the unit is 05, but different static pressure levels can be adjusted according to the need. When the unit is off, pressing the “FUNCTION” and “TIMER” buttons at the same time for 5 seconds will enter the system debugging function. Then, pressing the ”MODE” button adjusts the static pressure level to make the center of the wired controller’s display interface show 11. Pressing ▲ or ▼ button will show different numbers (01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09) on the lower right corner of the wired controller’s display interface.   After selecting the appropriate static pressure according to the required speed, confirm the setting by pressing the “SWING/ENTER” button. When the unit is connected to the thermostat, the dip switch SA1 is not 0000. Different position settings of the dip switch correspond to different speeds. The relationship between combinations and speeds is as follows:

Trial Run

Preparation before connecting the power:

  1. Power must not be connected if the installation work is not completed.
  2. Control circuit is correct and all the wires are firmly connected.
  3. The inside of the unit should be clean. Take all irrelevant objects out, if there are any.

Operation after connecting the power:

  1. If all the above works are finished, power on the unit.
  2. If the outside temperature is more than 30°, heating mode can’t be enabled.
  3. Before test operation, make sure the unit is powered on and the compressor has been preheated for more than 8 hours. Touch the unit to check whether it’s normally preheated. Start the test operation after unit is normally preheated, otherwise compressor might be damaged. Debugging must be performed by professional technicians or under the guide of professional technicians.
  4. Make sure the unit can run normally.
  5. if there’s sound of liquid shock when the compressor is running, stop the air conditioner immediately. Wait until the electric heating belt is heated enough, and then restart the air conditioner.

NOTICE

1. If a thermostat is used to turn off the unit and immediately turned on again, the compressor unit will need 3 minutes to restart. Even if the “ON/OFF” button on the thermostat is pressed, the compressor will not start up right away.
2. If no display appears on the thermostat, check the connection wires between the unit and the thermostat to verify they are connected.
