sensor is under “setting temperature 

 Auto mode temperature difference”, and it stops heating when 

the temperature is over “setting temperature”.(Attention:when set F17<F12, F17=F12 admited)

Compressor delay time

 

The compressor delay time is set by F21, for example, 3 minutes. The controller contains 

a“compressor halt calculagraph”, and it begins to time when compressor stops, the program first check 
the calculagraph before booting the compressor next time, the program will immediately boot the 
compressor if the calculagraph reach 3 minutes ,if the calculagraph doesn’t reach 3 minutes ,it will boot 
again when the calculagraph reaches 3 minutes. Thus you can ensure that the boot alternation is over 3 
minutes after halt, so it can prevent to breaking the compressor as a result of frequent boot. In addition, 
the controller doesn’t boot the compressor within 3 minutes after turning on the power supply, thus the 
compressor can also be protected in the state of power cut and then power on.

Auto defrosting principle

 

The controller will supervise the temperature of outdoor machine when heating normally, and 

decide whether need to defrost according to the time of the outdoor machine in the continuous low 
temperature state. In other words, the defrosting calculagraph begins to time when the outdoor machine 
temperature is lower than “defrost start temperature”, and turns on the defrosting when the value of time 
reaches “defrost start time”. The calculagraph will be cleared if the outdoor machine temperature is 
higher than “defrost start temperature” when timing, and it begins to time again when the outdoor 
machine temperature is lower than “defrost start temperature” next time. In other words, the value of 
defrosting calculagraph shows the continuous low temperature time of the outdoor machine. 

The controller can check the defrosting effect with the temperature of outdoor machine, if the 

temperature of outdoor machine goes up to the “defrost end temperature”, the controller will turn off the 
function of defrosting. If the defrosting time is above “max defrost time”, the controller will turn off 
defrosting forcibly. 

The process above can only run in heating state, in other words, the controller will not turn on 

defrosting in non-heating state.  

Air defrost mode:when start defrost,the compressor stop running ,the fan continue running;when 

stop defrost the compressor and fan continue running; 

4 way valve defrost mode: when start defrost,the compressor and fan continue running,the four-

way valve energized;when stop defrosting the compressor and fan continue running, the four-way valve 

powered off.

Water pump control

 

The controller can choose whether to use water pump or not (F40),0 means no water pump function, 

1 means use water pump. When  water pump runs, the compressor start up ahead of the time of F41, 

delaying  turn off the compressor of the time of F42.When external alarm and probation time over 

alarm,cut off water pump  output  immediately.The compressor won’t start up until the water pump 

achieve the working time of F41.  

When the machine unit stop running,the water pump follow the below request: F43stop, F44 run,and 

circle. 

$

External alarm 

 

The controller can connect 3 switching values as external alarm source (Pin 4, 5), (Pin 13, 14), (Pin 

14, 15), Only when the compressor is running ,and the external alarm occurs, the controller stops, 
displays the alarm code “A11”, “A12” “A15”. External alarm signal: always closed, unlocked. 

 

$

 Running in different period of time 

   The controller contains real time clock, and can time accurately. In “Econ Mode”, the controller will 
ensure that whether need to heat according to water temperature, otherwise the current time is in or not in 
the setting period of time, if it is not in the setting period of time, then the controller will not heat whether 
the water temperature is high or low. 

The controller can be set 3 heat periods of time at most, if you don’t need some periods of time, you 

can set the starting time and ending time which you don’t need as “OFF”. 

    In addition, if the ending time is earlier than starting time, the controller considers this ending time is 
next day. For example, the period of time is “22:00”to“03:30”, the controller considers it as 22:00 at 
night to 03:30 next day.
