OPEARTING CONDITIONS  |  5

   

 NOTE

 

On completion of installing the air conditioning unit, ensure the 
electrical power supply is on to the unit for the minimum of 12hrs 
prior to operation.  Failure to do so, may result in product failure.  
Should the units electrical power supply be interrupted for a period 
of more than 24hrs, then the above process will have to be   repeated.

 

Pay attention not to block the air inlet and outlet. Blockages may 
decrease the efficiency of the unit or shut the unit down via it‘s 
protection devices.

3.  OPEARTING CONDITIONS

See the table below for safe and effective use of the system.  Maximum and 
minimum temperatures are displayed.

Table 3-1

Temperature

Outdoor temperature Room temperature

Cooling operation

-15°C~46°C

21°C~32°C

Heating operating

-15°C~24°C

0°C~28°C

   

 NOTE

1.  If air conditioning unit is used outside the above conditions, it may 

cause the unit to function abnormally.

2.  The units can produce condense water when the humidity is high.

3.  Optimum performance will be achieved within these operating 

temperatures.

4.  The A-weighted sound pressure level is below 70 dB.

4.  OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE

4.1  Protection Equipment

The protection devices will stop the unit from running when an error is 
detected.

This protection device will stop the unit automatically. When a protection 
device is activated, the running indicator flashes. The protection device may 
have been activated as a result of the following circumstances.

The protection devices may be activated in following conditions:

 

Cooling Operation

 

The air inlet or air outlet on the outdoor unit is blocked.

 

Strong winds are continuously blowing on the air outlet.

 

Heating Operation

 

The indoor unit filters are blocked

 

The air outlet on the indoor unit is blocked

   

 NOTE

Do not attempt to re-activate the electrical power supply to the unit via 
the protection device until the problem has been solved.

4.2  Electrical power to the unit is interrupted

 

Should the electrical power supply be interrupted, all operation of the 
unit will stop.  Isolate the main electrical supply to the unit until the 
electrical power supply has returned and stabilised.

 

When the electrical power supply is re-established, the controller will 
flash and will begin to initialise.

 

Communication problem. 

 

Should the communication between units be lost, switch off the 
electrical power supply to all indoor/outdoor units.  Firstly re-instate 
the power to the indoor units, then re-instate the power to the 
outdoor unit.

4.3  Heating capacity

 

If the outdoor ambient temperature decreases, then the output of 
heat discharged from the indoor units will also decrease.

 

In cold temperatures the unit will default to heating mode only.

   

 NOTE

1.  Should the electrical power supply be interrupted, the indoor units 

will run for 20-30 seconds after to reject all of the heat built up.

4.4  Five-minute protection feature

 

A protection feature prevents the air conditioning unit from being 
activated for approximately 5 minuites when it restarts immediately 
after operation.

4.5  Cooling and heating operation

 

The indoor units must run in the same mode to stop conflicting errors. 
All units must be selected in the same mode.

 

When two different modes are selected the heating mode will take 
priority. However if a priority mode has been set up, then this will take 
priority. You can set a priority of ‚first unit turned on in the morning 
is the master‘, ‚heating priority‘, ‚cooling priority‘ or ‚a single unit as 
priority‘.

 

If the Air conditioning unit has a running mode selected, then the 
air conditioner can not run on modes other than the pre-set one. 
Standby or No Priority will show on the display.

4.6  Features of heating operation

 

The fans inside the indoor units may stop periodically to avoid 
discharging the incorrect temperature of air into the room.  The 
fans will start again once the unit has the sufficient temperature to 
discharge.  This will also be apparent for the first 3-5 minutes from 
when the unit is first turned on.
